“Your son should have to compete against the top 1% of every third world country for a middle class job in the town he grew up in” is one hell of a take

No es broma. Algún día veremos cómo una mayoría no blanca arrasa el Louvre y queman sus obras de arte en la plaza pública mientras suenan tambores tribales y gritos simiescos de rabia porque ellos nunca podrían crear una civilización así, ni de ningún tipo.

Every three years in medieval England, the king's men went from cottage to cottage cutting the toes off the peasants' dogs.
It was called lawing. The dog's forefoot went on a block of wood, a chisel was set across three claws, and they came off with one blow of a mallet. The Charter of the Forest, 1217, records the correct method: three claws of the forefoot, but not the ball.
A dog with three toes missing cannot run down a deer. That was the entire purpose. A third of England was royal forest, every animal in it belonged to the king, and a poor man's dog was the one piece of hunting equipment he could not be stopped from owning. So they left him the dog and took its feet.
If the inspectors found yours intact, the fine was three shillings, about a month's wages. Before 1217 they simply took your ox.
No law ever told that man he could not eat meat. The law took his bow, his dog's toes and his right to the wood, then left him entirely free to work out the rest for himself. He worked it out. He ate oats and beans, and he raised children who ate oats and beans.
That is how it is always done. Meat is never banned for the poor. It just becomes, by one sensible regulation after another, impossible to get.
Count the sensible regulations being drafted for your dinner this year.

What is an American?
An American is a person who understands that reality exists independent of any Authority’s manmade will, and that human beings are born with a nature that includes the capacity for reason and moral choice.
An American recognizes that rights are pre-political, existing before and above any Man or government of Men, and that man, though capable of great virtue, is a flawed and limited being who must be restrained by laws and by his own conscience.
An American trusts that truth can be discovered through honest inquiry and open debate, and that knowledge grows when it is tested against experience and the counsel of others.
An American holds that life, liberty, purpose and the dignity of the individual are not granted by governments but are part of the order of the world. To be an American is to live with the conviction that freedom is not a license to do whatever one pleases, but a moral trust that demands self-restraint, respect for the rights of others, and a duty to safeguard and strengthen liberty for future generations.
An American lives under covenant.
To be an American is not only to claim rights but to accept obligations, a bond that unites all Americans and the generations who will inherit it. This covenant is not written only in constitutions or laws, but in the moral conscience that binds free people to respect truth, justice, and the dignity of their fellow man.
It is a pledge that liberty will be preserved not by force alone, but by virtue, restraint, and common purpose.
The American covenant is thus a trust: that each generation will take up the duty of self-government, keeping faith with those who came before and preparing the ground for those yet to come.

‼️ BREAKING: Your LG TV is eavesdropping on you. It transcribes what you say, copies what is on your screen, and scans every device on your network, and researchers say the collection keeps running after you disconnect it, uploading the moment it reconnects.
LG's ad-tech arm says it out loud: "We own the glass." It pitches marketers on the ability to "own the living room," using data harvested from the TV you paid thousands for.
Gamers Nexus, working with Level1Techs and independent researchers, compromised an LG G5 and turned it into a listening device: it recorded room audio while the screen appeared off and the Ethernet cable was unplugged, then exfiltrated the file once the TV was back online.
LG has publicly said its TVs "do not collect, record, or store ambient conversations." Gamers Nexus found the TV converts speech to plain text and stores it in on-device logs, and that the mic window stays open 10 to 15 seconds after talking stops, sweeping up bystanders who never addressed the TV.
These sets are everywhere: hospitals, waiting rooms, boardrooms, hotels. ACR keeps running even when the TV is a dumb HDMI monitor, and a compromised set can pull the audio of a call off that HDMI feed. A surgeon asked Gamers Nexus where that leaves patient confidentiality.
Researchers advise disconnecting LG TVs from any network.

2008 was an interesting year for vaccines.
That's the year the formerly-sealed case of Hannah Poling leaked to the public. (I later reported on the case for CBS News. I'll link to that in this thread.)
In Hannahs' case, the govt. (which represents vaccine makers in court, believe it or not) conceded that Hannah's vaccines caused her autism.
Mind you, the govt. and head of CDC were denying this in public.
We didn't know it at the time, but the govt's own top expert witness in vaccine-autism cases, pediatric neurologist Dr. Andrew Zimmerman, had shocked the govt. by telling them (DOJ lawyers) that vaccines can cause autism, after all. But instead of helping kids and revealing the truth, the DOJ fired Dr. Zimmermand as an expert witness and misrepresented his opinion in court thereafter.
Anyhow, the govt. secretly paid the Poling family a multi million dollar settlement, but then had the case sealed so no other parents would find out. Public health officials continued to tell other parents they were imagining things.
Meantime, many experts said that separating multi vaccines into individual doses is inherently safer. Some parents were opting to get their kids Measles and Mumps vaccines separately, for example, rather than giving them the combo Measles, Mumps, Rubella shot.
How did the maker of MMR, Merck respond?
Merck stopped making the individual shots in the U.S.
All around 2008.

If you want evidence that capitalism is a force for good, just visit a grocery store.

One issue no one talks about enough: many pediatric clinics won’t accept children whose parents decline some or all “recommended” vaccines. This should be looked into by the administration.

I feel like it’s finally safe to say this out loud: The COVID era was a time of staggering overreach and repeated, official betrayal. They took our freedom, our livelihoods, and our trust, and no one has answered for it.
We were forced into isolation, fueling a massive psychological crisis. Beaches, parks, and trails where transmission was virtually impossible were closed, ignoring the crucial role of sunlight and Vitamin D for immune function.
The government and employers forced vaccine mandates, making millions choose between a medical treatment lacking long-term safety data and their ability to feed their families. Meanwhile, pharmaceutical companies were granted total immunity from liability.
If you had a severe vaccine reaction, you were on your own. When people tried to share these stories of big tech silenced them and deleted their accounts.
The architects of these policies, like Dr. Fauci, shifted goalposts constantly. He received a preemptive presidential pardon from Joe Biden, and when recently questioned by Congress, pleaded the Fifth Amendment 111 times.
The biggest failure? We knew early on that metabolic dysfunction was a massive risk factor for severe COVID. Yet public health officials stayed completely silent on the importance of quality food, exercise, and true metabolic resilience.
Instagram deleted my account in 2021 for pointing all of these things out. YouTube deleted multiple videos on these topics.
We all lost something during those years. Whether it was someone you loved, your job, your sovereignty, or your health... I am truly sorry for your loss.
If all of this makes you angry, you’re my kind of people.
Let's make sure this never happens again.

August 13, 2022: we cannot admit that the shots don't work because that would undermine our policy to force people to get them.

“Why aren’t you guys over Covid? Mistakes were made. Time to move on.”
Well, I can remember when they wanted my then-three year old son to wear a mask at the playground. The playground that was *outside*
When my wife and I were socially shamed for not getting experimental gene therapy shots
When I couldn’t use my *gym* as a healthy early 30s male without “showing my papers” (aka vax card that I didn’t have)
When loved ones were forced to die alone
And still, no one has been held accountable
I want to make sure these crazy tyrants never forget what they did and never hold power again
So no, we aren’t over it

The World Cup has turned America into a discovery channel for the rest of the world.
And they are not handling it well.
In the best possible way.
Here is what they are discovering:
Free public restrooms. Europeans pay every time.
Free water at every restaurant. Just appears.
Free refills. Coffee. Sodas. Iced tea. Unlimited.
Free chips and salsa before you even order.
Free warm bread with dinner.
Ice in drinks like civilized people.
Air conditioning everywhere. Not a moral debate. A fact.
Parking lots attached to the actual place you are going.
Drive throughs where the food comes to the car while you sit in it.
Ranch dressing by the gallon.
Tex-Mex that cannot be explained only experienced.
Dental care that actually works.
Buccee’s. There are no words for Buccee’s.
Then they found the grocery stores.
Five of them within one mile.
Each one the size of an aircraft hangar.
Burgers. Steaks. Brisket. Ribs. Pulled pork. Lamb. Veal. Every cut of every animal ever domesticated by human civilization available in one refrigerated aisle at ten in the morning on a Tuesday.
The Germans stood in the meat section for forty five minutes.
In silence.
Processing.
They finally understand why we do not have trains.
We have roads wide enough for the cars we actually drive.
Parking lots the size of small European countries.
Airports in every city worth visiting.
Why would we need trains.
The Germans are taking ranch home by the bottle.
The Dutch found queso and briefly lost the ability to speak.
The Japanese are photographing HEB like it is the Louvre.
The Czechs are weeping in West, Texas.
Welcome to America.
Everything is free, enormous, air conditioned, comes with chips, and has five grocery stores within a mile that will sell you any cut of any animal you have ever imagined.
Write that down. 🦋
