If you spent a career in an ICU, you stop fearing death. You start fearing a long, expensive, undignified life you never designed. I left so I wouldn’t die that way. That’s the only niche I have.

Implied consent is NO consent 😡 Germany is considering making EVERY CITIZEN an organ donor unless they opt out. Do your organs belong to you or to the state? Dr. Andreas Weber is taking a stand for human rights and is testifying against this proposed opt-out law 👍

🚨BREAKING: James Fishback just laid out a simple plan that could trigger 10 million self-deportations in 30 days. Freeze every illegal alien’s bank accounts. Seize their debit and credit cards. Place liens on any real estate they own. Give them 30 days to leave the country. If they go, the money gets wired to them. If they stay, they are locked out of the U.S. financial system entirely. Fishback’s point is straightforward. The government already knows who is here illegally. Make it impossible for them to function financially and most will choose to leave on their own rather than live without access to banking, cards, or assets. Cut off the money, the benefits, and the ability to maintain a bank account, and daily life becomes unsustainable. That pressure alone drives people out without needing door-to-door enforcement for every case.

Retirement test: can you name your three biggest risks? Mine are falls, sepsis, and boredom. Two you can train for. The third one kills more ambitious men than you'd think.

Brazil has repeatedly tried to clear out favelas and replace them with everything from middle-class neighborhoods to taxpayer-subsidized social housing. What happens every single time is that the affordable housing projects morph back into favelas within a few years, and when the government moves people out entirely and relocates them to new neighborhoods, the relocation sites themselves eventually turn into favelas. This has been going on since the late 1960s, yet every decade or so, government officials have this idea that favelas are just a product of poverty, when in reality they're a product of the people who live within them. It's like that meme video we've all seen of a beaver still trying to build a dam in someone's hallway using stuffed animals and cardboard boxes. You can take a man out of the favelas, but you can't take the favela out of the man.

This week I flew to a farm in Molokai, accompanied by a sous from where I live, to sample, plant, and harvest the best onion I have ever eaten. This morning I discovered a rando grower from the Kona hills who grows my favourite tomato…the brandywine. This week has been a banger.

FBI SHADOW GOVERNMENT CHARGES: @ChuckGrassley leads the way “Today, we’re seeing accountability efforts in action. I appreciate the Department of Justice and the FBI’s work to root out government corruption and embrace transparency. At long last, Americans can see all the facts and evidence for themselves.” “These two unelected bureaucrats (EX-FBI SENIOR OFFICIALS FLORIS AND BENAVIDES) used the power of government to smear my and @SenRonJohnson constitutional oversight and distract from inconvenient truths that weaponized bureaucrats and the Biden administration didn’t want you to know."

I've coded billionaires and I've coded bus drivers. The monitor sounds the same. What's different is who's in the waiting room and whether anyone knew their wishes.

🚨 BRITISH DIPLOMATS FORCED TO LEAVE JERUSALEM AS ISRAEL SHUTS DOWN UK CONSULATE Israel has ordered 20 British diplomats, including the Consul General, to leave the country following London’s sanctions against Israeli settlements. The British Consulate in Jerusalem has officially lost its consular status, with its signage removed. Only seven diplomats will be allowed to remain, operating under the newly designated “UK Mission, Jerusalem” with restricted activities. A major diplomatic confrontation between Israel and Britain.

Every patient I took care of that day had been shot 3-7times...he kept circles back and shooting them again and again- he executed Private Francheska Velez, a pregnant Soldier- leaders knew he was a problem and didn't deal with him because it wouldn't be politically correct . Thank you @SecWar and @realDonaldTrump for finally giving a green light for justice! • Pfc. Michael S. Pearson, 22, Bolingbrook, Illinois Lt. Col. Juanita L.

🚨Alert: President Trump approves a Firing Squad for the Fort Hood shooter!! The last American serviceman executed by a US military firing squad was Private Eddie Slovik, on January 31, 1945. He was shot at about 10:04 a.m. near Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines, France, by a 12-man squad from the 109th Infantry Regiment using M1 Garands (11 live rounds, one blank). He had been court-martialed for desertion in the face of the enemy; General Dwight Eisenhower confirmed the sentence!!

This is something I write about in Pagan America, the emergence of a kind of therapeutic witchcraft, which is closely tied to notions of identity and empowerment, and is particularly attractive to young women in a de-Christianized culture. Somewhat counterintuitively, this therapeutic witchcraft sits well alongside modern materialism. It’s what C.S. Lewis called the “materialist magician,” who manages to “emotionalise and mythologise” science, so that they worship what they vaguely call “Forces” while denying the existence of “spirits.”
It's an awful bummer to write about, but I've finished my second piece on the return of witchcraft. Therapeutic culture has trained us to ignore every moral and ethical consideration as an impediment to our authenticity/satisfaction.

These are the most cited articles co-authored by the APA president-elect. She is not even a full prof yet. This is her academic record. Yet she was just elected to lead APA. There are thousands of more qualified academics.

The Catholic Church, or what remains of it, especially it’s youth ministry and young adult programmes could learn much from the Modern Orthodox and Orthodox Jewish community on how to keep Catholics Catholic, but they won’t for obvious reasons.

Closing my rings every day. Finally back to somewhat eating and imbibing like a normal person. Finished with CAPOX and treatment for the time being, and hoping every single day for more time. Fu*k cancer. You guys at UCLA gave me another chance, for now, I do not intend to waste it.

You know, with all the money the Netherlands is spending to euthanize children, the mentally ill, and elderly, you’d think they could afford some Zepbound for the Princess of Orange ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
