WOW: California Gov. Gavin Newsom is getting SLAMMED for FALSELY accusing Chevron of price gouging. The company is fighting back with signs at its Golden State gas stations that read: “Sacramento Policies did this. Now you pay more. California politicians are choosing foreign oil and fuels over local jobs and lower costs.” Fox News’ Sandra Smith: “Why doesn’t [Newsom] just take it directly to court if that’s the case? That’s an illegal activity.” William La Jeunesse: “Well, he actually did and he never got anywhere. His own commission found out there was no price gouging.” NUKED!

A team of researchers in New Zealand followed 1,037 babies from the day they were born for the next 45 years to find out what actually determines a successful adult life, and the strongest predictor they found had almost nothing to do with intelligence or family wealth. The findings have been published in the most prestigious scientific journals in the world. Almost no parent has heard of them. His name is Avshalom Caspi. Her name is Terrie Moffitt. They are a husband and wife research team based at Duke University and King's College London, and the study they have spent their careers running is called the Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Study. It started in 1972 in a single hospital in Dunedin, New Zealand. Every baby born there in a 12-month window was enrolled. 1,037 of them. The study is still running today. The retention rate is the part that should astonish anyone familiar with how research usually works. After more than 45 years, over 90 percent of the original participants are still being tracked. Most longitudinal studies lose half their sample inside ten years. The Dunedin team has lost almost nobody. They measured everything. Blood. DNA. Brain scans. Income. Criminal records. Romantic relationships. Drug use. Dental health. Sleep. Mental health. Lung function. They flew participants who had moved abroad back to Dunedin every few years for a full day of assessments. Some of those people now live in seven different countries. They still show up. For the first decade of life, the team did something nobody else was doing systematically. They measured each child's self-control. Not IQ. Not family income. Not parenting style. Self-control. They watched 3-year-olds in a research lab and rated their ability to wait, regulate frustration, follow instructions, and resist impulsive reactions. They added teacher ratings. They added parent ratings. They added the children's own self-reports as they grew older. They combined all of it into a single highly reliable score. Then they did the thing nobody else had the patience to do. They waited. When the data came in at age 32, the result was so consistent it should be illegal to teach a child without it. The children who scored lowest on self-control at age 3 grew into adults with worse physical health, more substance dependence, lower incomes, more credit card debt, higher rates of single parenthood, more criminal convictions, and worse mental health than the children who scored highest. The pattern was not subtle. It was a clean gradient. Every step up in childhood self-control produced a measurable step up in adult outcomes across every domain the team could measure. The detail that should disturb every parent reading this is what happened when the researchers controlled for the obvious objections. When they controlled for IQ, the effect held. When they controlled for family income and social class, the effect held. When they compared siblings inside the same family, the sibling with lower self-control still had worse adult outcomes than the sibling with higher self-control. Same parents. Same house. Same dinner table. The trait was running independently of everything researchers expected to explain it. The paper landed in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in 2011. The title was as plain as it gets. "A gradient of childhood self-control predicts health, wealth, and public safety." It has been cited thousands of times since. Almost no policy maker has acted on it. The reason most people resist this finding is that it sounds like a sentence handed down before the child could speak. If the trait that determines your adult life is locked in by age 3, the rest of your life is a formality. The Dunedin researchers say that is the wrong way to read the data. They found something else in the same paper that almost nobody quotes. Some of the children whose self-control scores improved between childhood and adolescence ended up with adult outcomes far better than their early scores predicted. The trait is not destiny. It is a muscle. Children who learned to wait, regulate, and resist between ages 5 and 15 caught up with kids who started ahead. Self-control is the one childhood trait nobody seems to teach on purpose anymore. Schools focus on test scores. Parents focus on activities. Coaches focus on performance. The part of the brain that decides between five seconds from now and five years from now is left to develop on its own, and the data shows it usually does not. The most uncomfortable part of the research is the cost calculation Moffitt and Caspi ran. They estimated that if a country could move the bottom 20 percent of children up one rung on the self-control ladder, it would measurably reduce healthcare spending, welfare dependency, and incarceration costs at the national level. The intervention is cheaper than almost any other public health investment available. Almost no country has tried it at scale. The reason adults struggle with money, weight, addiction, and relationships is rarely intelligence. It is the gap between what you want right now and what you want in ten years, and which side of that gap your nervous system is built to listen to. Most people lost that fight at age 4 and never went back to learn the technique. You were not behind because life dealt you a bad hand. You were behind because the part of you that decides between right now and the rest of your life was never taught how to choose. The good news is the muscle is still there. Almost nobody trains it after age 10. You can be the one who does.

Respect to Robert Jenrick for speaking up for Henry Nowak in Parliament today. Instead of trying to save his life, police handcuffed him as he was bleeding to death because they heard "muh racism" They all need prosecuted alongside the coward attacker!

Californians, it's not @Chevron you should boycott, it's Democrat politicians. They're the ones who make gas $2.00 a gallon higher here. Vote for Change - Vote Steve Hilton!

This is unconscionable. The Governor of CA, an elected official meant to serve the constituents of this state, both individuals and their companies, is urging us to AVOID a company here. Incredibly unethical and disqualifying. No doubt a spiteful response to @Chevron informing the CA citizens that the reason our gas is always outrageously expensive is because of the CA gas tax. That is a FACT cause by the CA Gov. I will be intentionally buying gas at Chevron this week in LA.

On December 3rd 2025, Vickrum Digwa stabbed Henry Nowak. Vickrum Digwa told the court that he acted in self-defence after Henry Nowak 'racially abused' him and he wasn't aware that he stabbed Henry in the chest. Henry Nowak did not carry any weapon. Vickrum Digwa carried a 21cm knife. After getting stabbed, Henry tried to escape by climbing over a fence. Vickrum Digwa Digwa chose to pursue him. Police were called. Police initially handcuffed Nowak and started giving him first aid when he then collapsed. They summoned an ambulance and a doctor flew in by helicopter, but there was nothing that could be done to save Henry and he was declared dead. Kiran Kaur, 53, is also accused of assisting her son Vickrum Digwa by removing the knife from the scene. The trial continues.

Chevron is letting customers know in California that it’s not Donald Trump causing the insane gas prices in the state, it’s California Democrats Chevron just added these new signs to their pumps educating customers, “Sacramento policies did this. Now you pay more” “California politicians are choosing foreign oil and fuels over local jobs and lower costs” This is what we need. Huge companies willing to educate the public and tell the truth It’s Gavin Newsom and Democrat policies causing $6.30+ average cost per gallon in California

Wow. Thousands are worshipping God in the heart of the nation’s capital, declaring Jesus is Lord “Jesus, Your name is power.” America is returning to Christ. ✝️

My grandfather said he’d never move into a retirement home. He said, “Too expensive… and the food tastes like someone boiled sadness.” Instead, he checked into a beachfront hotel. We asked, “Grandpa, isn’t that even more expensive?” He smiled and said, “Not really. At the retirement home, I’d pay $200 a day for cold meatloaf and no visitors. But here? For $150 a day, I get ocean views, room service, fresh towels, a pool… …and suddenly all my grandkids remember I exist every weekend.” Then he leaned back in his chair and delivered the final line like a mob boss: “And if I die in the hotel lobby, the manager will actually look disappointed. But at the nursing home? They just call it Tuesday.”

Breaking: Muslim terrorists just stormed a Christian village in Nigeria and unleashed pure demonic savagery on innocent families who couldn’t run fast enough to escape. They captured pregnant women and hacked their bellies open with machetes — forcing the young women to witness their own unborn babies die right in front of them as they succumbed to fatal stab wounds. All because they were Christians who refused to convert to Islam. No one in the international community, UN, EU, ICC, or ICJ seems to care. Not even Christian leaders in the West. Please pray for the persecuted Christians in Nigeria. 💔💔💔💔

@TheDegenWeekly Northern California DOES rock!!

I spent a week in Northern California. Here's my review: 1. San Francisco (2 Days) This was my first time visiting SF as an adult. I'd been when I was 10 years old but that doesn't count (although Alcatraz was pretty sick). I had my expectations low, which is key to any first time experience, but can also be tricky. For example: the first time I saw Hot Tub Time Machine, I thought it was the funniest movie I'd ever seen. Had no expectations. Took my wife to see it after hyping it up, and she did not think it was the funniest movie she'd ever seen. I set her expectations too high. I thought SF was cool. Could I live there? Eh. I'm not sure I could ever get used to those hills, but they are super unique to any other American city. Being right on the Bay is pretty badass. The people were friendly and the service was good. I prefer the SF vibe over the LA vibe. Less pretentious and “douchey” for lack of a better word. Also much cleaner than I expected. Someone told me they got a new mayor who's done a good job, or maybe there was a big push during SB. Either way, not the zombie apocalypse you might think from watching the news. My first Waymo ride was fun. Kinda creepy how all the billboards in SF are about AI. Def think it will be the first city where robots outnumber humans when the time comes. 2. Yosemite (3 days) My wife and I love the outdoors but we aren't necessarily outdoors people, if that makes sense. The only way you can get me to camp in the wilderness is with something they call "Glamping" and that's what we did. Highly recommend Under Canvas which just opened their Yosemite location. These tents were awesome, and the food was fucking fantastic. We checked out El Capitan, Tunnel View, some Sequoia trees, hiked the Vista Trail and Hetch Hetchy. Not super touristy which was great. I've heard Yellowstone gets absurdly packed. Could have been the time of year as it was a little cold. This was our second National Park visit and I thought it was perfect for beginners like us. 3. Napa (3 days) This place is gorgeous. I was blown away at how nice of a drive it was (3.5 hours) from Yosemite to Napa. You'd be in flat farmlands that felt like the middle of Kansas, then an hour later be surrounded by mountains and vineyards. Someone told us California is responsible for making 70% of the country's produce. I now believe that. I'm not the biggest wine guy but I like wine. Drank it a lot more before I started getting bad acid reflux. I don't think you need more than 2 days in Napa if you're just a casual wine drinker. The experience overall was great though. Enjoyed the tastings and scenery at every stop. There's only so much red wine I can drink during the day before I need a nap. The town could use an emergency cocktail bar nearby serving Whiskey Cokes and cigarettes to keep you going. Oh and you didn't ask but my favorite winery was Alpha Omega. We bought a few bottles there because they don't sell anywhere else. Pretty cool. Overall I'm left coming away with this impression: Northern California fucking rocks. I can't believe I was not familiar with its game. The people are chill. The scenery is stunning. The weather is lovely. As an East Coast guy who's made multiple drives from NYC to Florida and back, I am beyond envious that the other side of the country is so much more beautiful. They don't have any rest stops though, which is tough for a guy like me that has to piss every 20 minutes. So for that I would like to say THANK YOU New Jersey! I'm not the type to make a lot of life goals (not a good thing) but I think ending up in Northern California after your kids go to college and living out your remaining years there is absolutely the dream scenario. I doubt most of you read this but if you did, please let me know if you have any recs for my next visit. Cheers.

@TONYxTWO This man’s guardian angel showed up in the form of a cop! God Bless

Police in Jacksonville, Florida save this young man’s life from jumping off the Dames Point Bridge (Tallest Bridge in Jacksonville) 🙏🏼 The young man was ready to take his own life but these officers spoke from the heart and got him to change his mind. “I love you. We all love you. We wear this badge for many reasons. This is the main reason. To reach those whom the devil thinks he got. He ain't got you. We got you.” Love this!!

@CraigBrockie Restore

1 in 10 Americans now has an autoimmune disease. Lupus. Crohn's. Hashimoto's. Type 1 diabetes. Multiple sclerosis. Rheumatoid arthritis. Your doctor will tell you it's genetic. Or bad luck. Or that your immune system just "turned on itself." Harvard researchers disagree. A pediatric gastroenterologist at Mass General (Dr. Alessio Fasano) spent 20 years tracking down the missing piece. What he found changed the conversation. Every autoimmune disease he studied shared the same three ingredients: - A specific environmental trigger - Genetic predisposition - A leaky gut Take any one of those away, and the disease doesn't start. The gut isn't just where food gets digested. It's a one-cell-thick wall - The only thing standing between your bloodstream and everything you eat, drink, and swallow. When that wall is tight, your immune system stays calm. When it's leaky, Undigested food particles and bacterial fragments slip through into your blood. Your immune system sees invaders and attacks. But the particles look a lot like your own tissue. Attack the gluten fragments → attack the thyroid (Hashimoto's) Attack the bacterial fragments → attack the joints (rheumatoid arthritis) Attack them over and over → attack the nerves (MS), the gut (Crohn's), the pancreas (Type 1) This is called molecular mimicry. Here's what people report when they heal the gut wall: Skin clearing up Brain fog clearing up Digestion finally working Joint pain fading within weeks Autoimmune flares slowing down Energy returning after years of fatigue The things that punch holes in the gut wall: Gluten (yes, even if you don't have celiac) Glyphosate on conventional crops NSAIDs (ibuprofen, aspirin) Ultra-processed food Chronic stress Antibiotics Poor sleep None of these are rare. Most people have all seven running on autopilot. I've been saying for 30 years: almost every chronic disease traces back to a broken gut. The science keeps catching up. The good news? Unlike your genes, the gut wall is something you can actually rebuild. Comment RESTORE and I'll send you a free guide on how to heal the gut and calm the immune system naturally. P.S. MUST Follow for me to DM you.

your level of self belief, persistence, and massive action will determine how successful you become

NEW: Hundreds of college students were baptized at the University of Pittsburgh. "Hundreds made decisions to go all in with Jesus tonight and were baptized at the University of Pittsburgh!" said Unite US' Tonya Prewett. "God continues to do something new on every campus, and tonight we witnessed many people getting physically healed! We baptized until after midnight, and the testimonies are pouring in!" Several thousand students were reportedly packed in for the event. Awesome. Praise God.

@SahilBloom I am shocked at all the negative comments. In what world is this not applauded as the ultimate flex? I can’t wrap my head around it.

To be clear, I love my life, but I know it’s not for everyone! I’ve always loved routine and I like the peace and quiet of the suburbs. I don’t think any life is “right” or “wrong” it’s just a matter of preference. I just want to see everybody choose to live by their own design.

Actual Saturday in the life of this mid-30s guy in the suburbs: 4:30am - wake up 5am - 12 mile run 6:30am - lift 8am - cook breakfast for family 9-5pm - activities w/ family 5pm - cook dinner for family 6pm - sauna 6:30pm - movie w/ family 8pm - sleep Wouldn’t change a thing.

@shawn_hubbard @SouthwestAir Really @SouthwestAir empty seat. In the air. Let them move!!! Insanity

Do better @SouthwestAir. NINETY open seats on my 5 hour flight, and I was not allowed to move two rows ahead so an elderly couple I was seated next to in my row could have more room. We were one of the only full rows on the entire plane. Your new policies stink.

@UberEats what the heck? I ordered donuts to be delivered as a a client gift for their meeting and told them donuts were coming. The order was accepted. I find out 1.5 hours later after they were supposed to arrive that uber cancelled the order?! What tv heck? I have egg on my face now with a client I was trying to woo because you cancelled and no one texted me so I had no idea! First experience when Uber Eats and it BOMBED. how can this happen??

2 cities. Zero bad bites 😋
