In a move that has taken the nation by surprise, reports claim Elon Musk has signed a $175 million deal to build The Belcalis Academy of Hope, the first boarding school in America dedicated entirely to orphans and homeless children. The institution, reportedly set to open in Chicago, promises full housing, education, mentorship, and emotional care for young people who have lost everything.
According to circulating accounts, Musk’s goal is to create a safe haven where every child can dream again. The project allegedly focuses on academic excellence, creativity, and real-world skills, giving its students not just an education but a chance at a brighter future.
Supporters are calling it one of the most compassionate initiatives ever linked to the billionaire, a gesture that combines his innovative mindset with genuine humanity. Critics remain skeptical, waiting for official confirmation, but the story has already inspired global admiration.
If true, the Belcalis Academy would stand as a lasting reminder that the greatest investment any leader can make is in the next generation. Elon Musk’s reported vision once again bridges technology, empathy, and purpose, proving that progress isn’t just about machines, but about the people they serve.
God bless Elon Musk 🖤💛

Moderna's wicked new flu product (mFLUSIVA) just came out two months ago. Already there are 48 reports of injury in VAERS, representing a small fraction of the whole. They read very much like the early reports of the Covid poisons. Same signs. V-Safe entries clock the decline from fatigue to injection-site pain to headaches to rashes to GI issues to limb dysfunction and on and on, like a poisoning, ending in disability and sometimes death. You can see all the signs that this is happening right now with this new injection.
Will no one at the FDA stop the madness before it is too late?

@DrOzCMS @SecKennedy. For the Love of God, stop the Physician kill at the expense of Patient Care. Put Physicians back in Charge of Healthcare Delivery. Remove the Conflict of Interest of Physician Ownership. Return Free Market Competition and Physician financial reward for Risk, Decade Sacrifice of training, Outcomes. End the Insanity. Deescalate Administrative financial reward and return escalate Physician financial incentives.

While doctor reimbursement got cut 12%, premiums went up 146%, and commercial health insurance’s (BUCA) valuations went up 308%…
Wonder how that happened… 🤨
@UHC @Cigna @Aetna @ElevanceHealth
It's annual paycut season for doctors, brought to us by @CMSGov…
And, drumroll…it's a cut. Again.
-2.31% for most of the house of medicine in 2027 on the RVU conversion factor (to $32.63/RVU).
Adjusted for inflation, that's:
A one-year 4.7% decrease,
A 10-year cut of 32.6%,
A 20-year cut of 46%.
Yikes.
Thanks, @RobertKennedyJr.

mRNA is now being used for flu shots in patients 50+. This article doesn't mention it and odds are neither will your pharmacy tech. Please spread the word.

BREAKING - This man is going viral after revealing that the last woman shot by Minneapolis police was a White woman named Justine Damond, who was killed by a Somali officer after she called for help, and not a single Democrat spoke out or protested.

83 percent of the hospital lobby's lobbyists used to work for government.
They know exactly which pen writes the rule because they used to hold it.
The Federation of American Hospitals has opposed every site-neutral proposal. Same service, same price, anywhere. Against.
Your physician learned medicine.
The lobby hired the people who wrote the rules.
When will the American people and physicians fight back?

You want lower premiums?
Stop protecting expensive healthcare from cheaper competition.
Obamacare gutted cheap catastrophic coverage ($161 for me) and slammed the door on more than 500 hospitals.
34 States make people beg for permission to open new hospitals and medical facilities and then don’t allow it.
Meanwhile, university health systems own hospitals AND insurance companies, enjoy paying no tax , collect 49 subsidies, and screw you on the premium and the bill.
Then the people protecting this arrangement tell you healthcare is just expensive.
Of course it’s expensive.
You made cheaper competition a problem and subsidized the rich educated non profit grifters.

Why is The Seattle Times treating expensive health insurance like a mystery?
The State of Washington made opening a competing healthcare facility an exercise in obtaining permission from people who think the existing facilities are sufficient.
Sufficient for whom?
The people sending the bills seem quite satisfied.
The governor oversees the department administering those restrictions.
The attorney general has oversight of nonprofit hospitals’ charitable assets.
Perhaps ask them a few questions before asking another family how much less they intend to save for retirement.
Washington appears terribly concerned about unnecessary healthcare facilities, and remarkably relaxed about unnecessary healthcare expense.

Five Massachusetts hospitals call Eli Lilly's terms "corporate extortion."
The terms: share claims data on 340B drugs, or lose the discount. They refused.
They buy at a federal discount and bill insurers the full rate.
The discount is public law. The spread stays private.

Consider a citizen who works for forty years, pays taxes faithfully, and dies shortly before retirement.
He is a tragedy to his family.
To the pension ledger, he represents obligations that will never come due.
Governments keep accounts. Families bury people.
Americans want timely treatment at a price they can afford.
Washington offers another interminable argument about capitalism, socialism, Obamacare, and Medicare for All, as though the correct political vocabulary could settle a medical bill.
Meanwhile, expensive care is somebody’s revenue.
Every dollar saved by a patient is a dollar an established institution may lose.
Those institutions have every reason to influence the officials who write the rules.
We need not imagine a secret meeting at which anyone proposes making Americans poorer or shortening their lives.
A system can produce appalling results through perfectly ordinary decisions that protect the people already in power.
Cheaper healthcare already exists. Its expansion threatens established interests.
The question is whether Americans can make their government permit that expansion.
A republic has a serious problem when its citizens must petition their representatives for permission to compete with their representatives’ donors.
Peak irony: Abdul El-Sayed “Medicare for All” except for his physician wife who’s cash-pay only.
He has an MD but never completed residency, never held a medical license, and doesn’t practice medicine.
His wife, psychiatrist Sarah Jukaku, runs a cash-pay practice that is out-of-network for all insurance and has formally opted out of Medicare (and doesn’t take Medicaid).
Patients pay out of pocket.
Hey good on them for running a cash-pay practice! Not knocking that. But the double standard is peak Democrat cherry on the cake🍒 🎂

If you want to make the math math, check this:
-insurers keep 2x what they used to of premiums
-patients pay 2x more in deductibles
-insurers have bought up medical practices (ahem, @Optum) so even the “care” they pay for is…paying themselves!
🤨

Imagine losing the Senate a week ago, getting beat from Kansas to Texas, and the first thing the man who ran the place does is send word down the line that he does not want Tim Burchett in the seat Marsha Blackburn is leaving… because Tim might not do what leadership tells him to do.
There it is. Not that he is unqualified, not that he cannot win, not that he did something wrong… he might not obey.
And Tim's answer is the best thing I have heard out of Washington all week. "I love the fact that he's not for me." Then he says the big players in the party, the one or two who pull the strings and write the big checks, have never been for him and are always for him the day after the election. Read that again, because a sitting congressman just told you out loud how the club actually works.
Let me explain why this matters. John Thune just presided over what his own colleagues are calling a "stunning defeat," and Senate Republicans are still lined up to hand him the minority leader job, so much so that Ron Johnson, Rick Scott, Mike Lee, John Kennedy and others had to sign a letter just to ask for a meeting first to talk about what went wrong. How is it that the guy who lost the majority has time to work against a Tennessee appointment but no time to answer for the loss? Who exactly is he protecting that seat from, the Democrats or his own voters?
Here is the reality. The uniparty does not fear losing to the left nearly as much as it fears one more person in that chamber who will not take the call. They can live in the minority, they have done it before and the checks still clear. What they cannot live with is someone who reads the bill, says no to the omnibus, and goes home and tells you what happened in the room.
Now keep in mind, Tim says this came from an off the record conversation with a prominent media figure, and none of it has been confirmed by Thune. Fine. Then Thune can clear it up in public, today, in one sentence. I will wait.
The good news is Governor elect Blackburn already said Washington does not decide who the senator from Tennessee is, she does, and she is exactly right. Tim says he is running in 2028 either way.
@MarshaBlackburn, the people of Tennessee are watching who you listen to. Appoint the man the swamp does not want.
End stop.
🚨 JUST IN: Rep. Tim Burchett just FIRED BACK at John Thune reportedly trying to BLOCK his appointment to the US Senate by Governor-elect Marsha Blackburn (TN), per @toddstarnes
"I LOVE the fact that he's not for me!"
🔥🔥
Burchett says a prominent media figure told him Thune "had sent the word out that he does not want me, because I would not do what leadership told me to do."
His response: "You know what? You're EXACTLY RIGHT."
"The big boys are not for me. The big, big players in the party, the one or two that pull a lot of the strings, that write the big checks, they're not for me. They've never been for me. They're always for me the day after the election."
Keep being FOR THE PEOPLE, @timburchett
Burchett has said he'll just run for the seat anyway if he's not appointed.
NOTE: This is NOT Blackburn giving indication as to who she'd appoint. It's ENTIRELY up to her — her Senate seat, and her governorship!
Hopefully she goes with Burchett, he's a good man 🙏🏻
Biden's IRA handed Washington control over Medicare drug prices and put future cures at risk. Tennesseans need competition and innovation, not government price-setting. My piece in @realPamphleteer: @MarshaBlackburn @SenatorHagerty

Tennessee families shouldn't have to worry about whether their hospital is prioritizing patient care or investor profits. We need greater accountability when Wall Street buys our hospitals. My op-ed in @TimesFreePress:
