MAHA commission report came out identifying factors of concern for children's health.
These include ultraprocessed foods, food additives, sneed oils, over medicating (adhd, ssris, tranny shit, ozempic), underactivity (including cutting recess and PE time), too much screen time and social media, and so on.
Worth a read or at least a skim.
There was also an event to celebrate it.


@Hey Johnny Bravo I haven't commented on it since it still needs to get through senate. No point celebrating something that isn't being sent to Trump's desk yet and could still fail. Not being a doomer just waiting for final confirmation.

“I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.” -J.R.R Tolkien​

There's a very whiplash feeling where you read J.R.R Tolkien being very sombre and circumspect about the war and Ernst Jünger LOVING how fucked up he got in the war.

“Even if ten out of twelve men had fallen, the two survivors would surely meet over a glass on their first evening off, and drink a silent toast to their comrades, and jestingly talk over their shared experiences. There was in these men a quality of both emphasized the savagery of war and transfigured it at the same time: an objective relish for danger, the chevaleresque urge to prevail in battle.”

“I supposed I'd been hit in the heart, but the prospect of death neither hurt nor frightened me. As I fell, I saw the smooth, white pebbles in the muddy road; their arrangement made sense, it was as necessary as that of the stars, and certainly great wisdom was hidden in it. That concerned me, and mattered more than the slaughter that was going on all round me.”

“Leaving out trifles such as ricochets and grazes, I was hit at least fourteen times, these being five bullets, two shell splinters, one shrapnel ball, four hand-grenade splinters and two bullet splinters, which, with entry and exit wounds, left me an even twenty scars.”

"Just trust me bro" but I have a DC contact who met the some senators recently. Said that Ted Cruz is bitter about Trump and does not like his economic plan.

Thom Tilis is also a staunch anti-Trump RINO against the BBB but the only reason why they don't protest is they lack support and want to save their seats.
Tillis needs to be primaried and thrown out of NC. No complaints about Ted Budd.

If you live in these states, write their offices and tell them to support it.

I am very very curious as to why the Dugan video was released.

SOP is to not release anything until after the trial to ensure it doesn't fuck up jury selection.

The paranoid schizophrenic in me says this has been done to all ow Dugan to plead jury contamination and walk away scott free,

it never ends

If we are to dig out of the hole, we need to grow. That means spending money to create shit. That also adds value to the country and makes the debt smaller. Leverage my guy.

Maybe. I'm still in awe watching someone essentially throw their entire career for not only someone who can't pronounce your name and won't remember you 10 minutes from now but also a wifebeater.

the federal budget, the stock market, the value of precious metals. these are all just imaginary numbers written down somewhere that have little connection to reality. if we're going to spend fake money might as well spend it on cool shit like the Golden Dome

other countries didn't cash out their monopoly money and crash the US economy when Trump was reaming them with tariffs. nobody actually wants the game to end

It's not about spending money, it's about getting the boot off the necks of manufacturers and producers and new blood entrepreneurs. If the projected deficit goes up because we're cutting taxes while simultaneously moving toward reducing spending I'm not going to complain. American ingenuity is the only way to balance those books and the people estimating the cost of the bill won't take that into account.

If someone who's actually read the bill highlights could weigh in, did spending get cut? And I mean year over year spending, not a cut to the "growth" of spending.
