@j_fishback The fire that wins a primary can scorch the general electorate.

There are 53 abortion clinics in our state. As Florida Governor, I will shut down every single one of them.

@Breaking911 Fort Lauderdale - just 30 miles - was north of the heavy stormy weather today. Assume that was the backup plan.

An Emirates Boeing 777 from Dubai to Miami declared MAYDAY after two go-arounds at Miami International Airport due to severe weather and a runway delay, leaving the aircraft critically low on fuel.

This study is older GLP-1 single receptor agonists, outdated vs dual agonists like tirzepatide and triple agonist retatrutide. Adding GIP and glucagon signaling, sex differences in insulin sensitivity, adipose distribution, energy expenditure, glucagon response, lean mass, and GIP biology may be relevant.

@willchamberlain @KurtSchlichter You underestimate the scale and impact that shortages of oil, refined products, fertilizer, helium, and other chemicals will have on economies across the globe. Iran can wait it out. The world cannot.

Trump has the cards. The ability to harass shipping in Hormuz is a depreciating asset; the global economy has the capital and will to create workarounds. Meanwhile the blockade will get more and more damaging to Iran as time goes on

@Cernovich Creatine, first ~15 mg/day will get taken up by muscles, supplementing beyond that benefits the brain directly. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC89…

My brain protection stack: - Cialis 5 mg a day - lions mane + 🍄 - nattokinase (currently use PureBlood as I invested in the company but before that Doctor’s Best) My brain is so fast that people who watch my videos accuse me of being on cocaine. This is not medical advice.

@chrismartenson How to defeat a porcupine? Boasting "the navy is gone, the air force is gone... Militarily, we've wiped them out." obscures the reality. Iran has thousands of missiles capable of doing exactly what they say.

Iran has promised to shut down the remaining flows coming out of the Gulf region if it is struck again. If successful, this would more than double the current supply disruption, bringing global oil inventories down significantly faster than they are already falling.

@chrismartenson I hate taxes, but Trump's endorsement of lifting the federal gas tax now will only drive more demand near-term, accelerating the path to shortages and ever-higher prices.

Gasoline inventories in the US are at their lowest levels in 10 years, and quickly heading lower, because we're artificially suppressing US oil prices and exporting it all over the world. Unless they allow prices to rise and curb demand, we could be hitting "tank bottom" in early July. Full report: peakprosperity.pulse.ly/0qddjhyigb

@Gabepluguez Possibly at risk? Get a CCTA done and know for sure. Painless, took me 15 minutes: hopkinsmedicine.org/health/treatme…

I just watched a man have a heart attack at the gym today. Mid 40s. 20 maybe 30 pounds overweight. He was just sitting on a bench. Then his head began to tilt back and he coughed repeatedly. My wife and I watched it happen in slow motion but didn’t realize something was wrong until he actually fell out of the bench and his head hit the ground. I ran over, picked up his head, and immediately started scooping my finger into his mouth to clear any potential objects because I thought he might have been choking. His eyes were rolled back in his head. A few seconds later he woke up, blinked a few times and asked me “did I fall.?” By now a half dozen people had rushed over, called 9-11, started rendering aid. Paramedics got there shortly after and rushed him to the hospital. My wife was shaken. It was an absolutely brutal reminder. Your health is “not that big a deal.” Until the moment it is. And most people drastically underestimate how unhealthy they are. This guy was IN THE GYM. NOT morbidly obese. 45. MAYBE 50 years old. 20, maybe 30 lbs overweight. Remember, the average heart attack BMI is 28.6 (National Library of Medicine). That means: 5'8": 188 lbs 5'9": 194 lbs 5'10": 199 lbs 5'11": 205 lbs 6'0": 211 lbs 6'1": 217 lbs 6'2": 222 lbs 6'3": 228 lbs 6'4": 234 lbs These are body weights where most men would say “it’s not that bad.” Combine with the fact that most men have no idea how to deal with stress… It’s no wonder so many guys are walking around with ticking time bombs. Get healthy. Learn to deal with stress. A wife probably had to get a call today, on Mother’s Day, that her husband was being rushed to the hospital after heading to the gym for a quick workout. This is not no big deal, men. Get healthy. Praying for his recovery.

@MichaelAlbertMD Not unlike MD's defending lobotomies in 1955. Why limit the ways we treat schizophrenia?

Hi 👋🏻, actual obesity expert here. Also, I'm not a surgeon. Procedural and surgical obesity treatments will never be eliminated. They work via unique anatomic-gut related mechanisms. These are distinct from the hormone-based pharmacotherapies. The only reason to eliminate them would be if we wanted to limit the ways we treat obesity, which is dumb.

@MiamiHerald I wonder if there will ever be a day when the press is anything but leftist propaganda.

The real redistricting scandal: DeSantis treating Florida’s constitution as optional | Opinion miamiherald.com/opinion/editor…

Many are growing suspicious: 1) highly publicized hantavirusoutbreak 2) WHO takes control and locks passengers in cabin risking more exposure to rodent-hantavirus dust in ventilation system 3) WHO calls for mass PCR testing, sends out kits 4) vaccine for hantavirus Andes strain already developed 5) soon public will be told virus is unassailable with early treatment and the only option is mass vaccination Are you ready for this?

Wrong. Let's take a GLP-1 like retatrutide: ➡️Less biological hunger: Retatrutide changes appetite signaling so people are dramatically less hungry and less preoccupied with food. Dieting alone increases hunger over time. ➡️Better metabolic adaptation: Dieting alone often causes the body slow metabolism and increases cravings. Retatrutide blunts this. ➡️Improved blood sugar and insulin control: Retatrutide improves insulin signaling and glucose handling directly, not just through weight loss. ➡️Higher energy expenditure and fat oxidation: Increased calorie burning and fat utilization beyond what a normal calorie deficit achieves alone.

DOCTORS HATE THIS ONE WEIRD TRICK: Look up the average caloric intake of someone on Ozempic. Eat that amount. Experience the same calorie deficit. Lose weight.

Been following your updates, possible comment in the future on the following from AI: Chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine: Surprisingly promising preclinical data. In vitro IC50 values are favorable (~10 µM) across multiple hantavirus species with good selectivity. In vivo: prophylactic/therapeutic benefit in newborn mouse Hantaan virus model (up to 72% survival with maternal dosing) and delay in disease/survival benefit in lethal Andes virus Syrian hamster model (especially prophylactic osmotic pump delivery). It may act via endosomal pH alteration or other host effects. Not standard clinical practice, but one of the few repurposed agents with actual animal efficacy data for hantavirus.frontiersin.org Favipiravir (T-705): Strong preclinical data in hamster models—reduces viral load and improves survival. Not widely available but under investigation for bunyaviruses.

Another person on the ship has come down with suspected Hantavirus and is still on the island. Currently there are no known people confirmed infected that have not been on the ship.

@meltingseaglass @RonDeSantis @Sunchasegirl Name the pharmacy, pharmacist, and get this refusal to the Florida Board of Pharmacy and @FLSurgeonGen. You can order online from places like jase.com/pages/ivermect…

I don’t know why pharmacists think they can gate keep a prescribed drug, but we are having issues getting this filled. It was prescribed by my husbands kidney transplant team and is apparently routine for them before a transplant to make sure no parasites with someone who is immune compromised. This is insane!

The ivermectin bill was passed by Republicans in the Florida Senate but then killed by Republicans in the Florida House. I was ready to sign it.

I would slightly rephrase this as follows: The best solidarity we can possibly have is to collectively prevent WHO from interfering with our health and immunity status.

@OwenGregorian The dissenters delayed their opinions simply to buy time, thinking that the closer the opinion was issued to the election, the higher the chance unconstitutional districts would be preserved.

JONATHAN TURLEY: Justice Jackson just showed why Democrats are desperate to pack the Supreme Court | Jonathan Turley, Fox News Since her appointment by President Joe Biden, Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has quickly developed a radical and chilling jurisprudence. Her frequent sole dissents and accusatory rhetoric have drawn not just the ire of her conservative colleagues but also that of her liberal colleagues. This week, that tension deepened with a stinging rebuke from Justice Samuel Alito, joined by Justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch. At issue is the finalization of the court’s opinion in Louisiana v. Callais, where the court ruled 6-3 to bar racial gerrymandering. The court reaffirmed the use of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act to ban intentional racial discrimination in the design of voting districts but effectively found many districts to be unconstitutional in their current form. There is no reason why the decision should not be finalized except for a blatantly partisan effort to protect Democrats from losing seats in the midterm elections. After all, if these districts are unconstitutional, why shouldn’t states guarantee that voters are given representatives chosen free of racially discriminatory preferences? That question is even more confusing given the long wait for this opinion. Not only was the case reargued, but there were growing complaints about the delay in releasing the opinion. Complaints increased after a recent book allegedly reported that Justice Elena Kagan had a vocal confrontation with her colleague, retired Justice Stephen Breyer, over his push to release the dissents in Dobbs after the leaking of that opinion. Breyer reportedly agreed with Chief Justice John Roberts that the conservative justices were facing increased death threats due to the delay. Kagan allegedly wanted to further delay the release. What is even more chilling than Jackson's jurisprudence is the fact that she is often cited as the model for Democrats seeking to pack the court with an instant majority if they retake power. In the Callais decision, the delay was curious since there were six solid votes for the majority and little fracturing among the opinions. Indeed, the majority opinion's references to the Kagan dissent are relatively brief. Nevertheless, the delay has made it very difficult for states to make changes. A few are moving to delay their primaries or draw new maps under extremely tight calendars. Regardless of the delay, there is no cognizable or principled reason to withhold the opinion to preserve unconstitutional districts. The case has already been on the docket for an unusually long time due to reargument. In its one-paragraph order, the court acknowledged that the Supreme Court’s clerk normally waits 32 days after a decision to send a copy of the opinion and the judgment to the lower court. However, it noted that the defenders of the challenged districts had "not expressed any intent to ask this Court to reconsider its judgment." Conversely, the other parties raised the need for states to address the impact of the ruling with the approaching elections. Jackson stood alone in demanding that the unconstitutional districts be effectively preserved for the purposes of this election — guaranteeing Democratic seats in the midterms that could be lost in nonracially discriminatory districts. Neither Kagan nor Justice Sonia Sotomayor would join her in the dissent, despite dissenting from the Callais decision itself. However, it was her language again that drew the attention of her colleagues. Justice Jackson lambasted the court’s ruling, stating that it "has spawned chaos in the State of Louisiana." In an Orwellian twist, Jackson suggested that others were playing politics as she sought to effectively protect unconstitutional Democratic districts. She suggested that the case exposed "a strong political undercurrent." In arguably the most insulting line, she lectured her colleagues that this case "unfolds in the midst of an ongoing statewide election, against the backdrop of a pitched redistricting battle among state governments that appear to be acting as proxies for their favored political parties." She further said that, rather than avoid "the appearance of partiality," the court’s action "is tantamount to an approval of Louisiana’s rush to pause the ongoing election in order to pass a new map." Justice Alito had finally had enough. He noted that her reliance on the 32-day period was a "trivial" objection that put form above substance since no party had asked for reconsideration. It would be waiting for 32 days for no purpose, while the other parties had stated a reasonable and pressing need to finalize the opinion. He chastised Jackson for a dissent that "lacks restraint." He denounced the dissent as making "baseless and insulting" claims. He particularly objected to the charge that her colleagues were engaging in "an unprincipled use of power," calling it "a groundless and utterly irresponsible charge." What is even more chilling than Jackson's jurisprudence is the fact that she is often cited as the model for Democrats seeking to pack the court with an instant majority if they retake power. This and other Jackson judicial dissents show why Democrats are so confident that packing the court will yield lasting control of the government. Jackson recently told ABC News that "I have a wonderful opportunity to tell people in my opinions how I feel about the issues, and that’s what I try to do." For some of her colleagues, that cathartic benefit is coming at too high a cost for the court. foxnews.com/opinion/jonath…

@MarioNawfal Andes strain: 50% death rate, human-to-human transmission, up to EIGHT WEEK incubation period. Interesting overview of the strains here: youtube.com/watch?v=PU0Fca…

🇸🇭 UPDATE: About 40 passengers on the MV Hondius previously disembarked on the island of St. Helena… AFTER the first passenger had died. The ship was hit with a deadly outbreak of Hantavirus, which does not usually spread between humans. But the Andes strain of the virus, which comes from South America, does. The ship set off from Argentina on April 1. Source: AP

@Imnotabot444991 @j_fishback Exploitation occurs when force, fraud, or lack of consent is present, not merely because compensation exists. A woman freely choosing surrogacy for compensation is not automatically being “used” any more than a nurse, athlete, construction worker, or therapist is being used.

Yes, because financially vulnerable women’s bodies aren’t for sale to supplement another person’s sexual -or- reproductive need. If prostitution is wrong because it is an assault on the dignity of the human person, then surrogacy is wrong for the same reason. Regardless of whether the woman whose body is being used consents or is even happy to do so.

Yes. As Florida Governor, I will ban surrogacy in Florida.

@nickshirleyy There is plenty more for you to do in the United States - please make that your mission. Respectfully, you simply can't risk being imprisoned and tortured for life in some hellhole to tell us something we already know.

🚨 I was almost taken hostage in Cuba... I went to Cuba to document the humanitarian crisis and show life under 60+ years of communism and now amid the US blockade. Once I landed, they seized all my cameras except my iPhone and had intelligence agents following me all day until my security noticed their spies tailing us to the hotel where they waited all night for us to come down. Under communism there is no free speech, and those who show the reality or speak up are imprisoned. Me going without a planned Cuban government guide nearly got me and my security taken hostage or imprisoned. The situation in Cuba is much worse than anyone knows.
