There...are...TWO...greatest Commandments

19 I linked to a Substack essay this morning called “The Inquisition Wears a Wig.” It’s a good explanation of how trans are the best warriors for the Left, who has always used resentment to weaponize people against their political foes.
Where other people who have/think they have been oppressed can move on, the trans cannot. Once they’ve started the process (drugs, body modification), there is no going back, no return to normal or their former self.

Given that, of course they have become the left’s assassins in recent years. Their anger and “oppression “ will never be resolved.

20 Hang a few somalis instead of their flag and maybe nobody will cut the rope.

21 With my knowledge that in California, you can rent a PO box online, then have a service forward your mail...

Which gives you a LOCAL Address to use to register to vote... by mail, from anywhere in the world... with no check...

And after reading the Birthplace citizenship crap which means if an Iranian or Chinese gives birth on a tourist visa, then 18 years Later they have the RIGHT TO VOTE, and there are easy ways to register?

AND IT"S ALL FUCKING LEGAL?

Yeah, Post Office should be flying its flags upside down... we're in distress.

22 We've been saying this for years, ever since this whole idea started to become mainstream, that liberal women and feminists were going to have to speak out and stop the erasure of their accomplishments, but they are too scared of the political mafia to do so. Hostages in their own tribe. Lot of that going on over on that side these days.

It is much worse -- when that kid has kids, they can register the birth with the US embassy in China as US citizen born overseas, and that kid will be a Citizen too.

Not really. Historian Carroll Quigley wrote several treatments of how institutionalization can turn things 180-degrees.

There may be a reason "everybody should chip in" but when people can come in with a skewed view of how they can turn that sentiment in the way they want it to go, as the distortion takes over and the faction succeeds , the original understanding can be cut free, leaving nothing to stop the inversion.

Overpowering need to cast others as inferiors
Overpowering need to shame and humiliate others

115 I want the small Christian high schools in the eastern parts of CA, OR, and WA to start fielding sports teams of "boys who identify as girls" in basketball, soccer, and volleyball.

When the Final Four of every women's state championship bracket is four boys teams, then maybe deranged Leftists will be willing to admit that development as a biological male DOES confer an athletic advantage.

P.S. I also want the boys for these teams changing in the girls spaces. At that point, even the Lefty moms that have a basic understanding of 15 y.o. boys will be calling for sports and spaces for biological females only.

Lefties only understand crime after someone in their immediate family has been mugged. IMO, females will be much better off the sooner we begin the "muggings".

"The privileges extended to visitors cannot be extended to those who come for both business and pleasure. A mere visitor is one who comes only for pleasure or health, and who engages in no business while here, and remains only for a reasonable time. If the party engage in any business, or employ his slave in any business except as a personal attendant upon himself or family, then the character of visitor is lost, and his slave is entitled to freedom."

More than once I had to eyeball some kids who were utterly unsupervised (not their fault, but still), and it was a pretty dull adventure. Cabo was... touristy. Locals were very pushy. Not really our thing, I guess.

“Newsom couldn’t win at the ballot box, so he changed the rules. He just rammed through one of the biggest power grabs in California history,” Shaw told the California Post. “This isn’t education reform. California’s children deserve leaders who answer to the voters.”

She led the June primary with 1,737,377 votes (22.6%), finishing ahead of Richard Barrera, who received 1,557,939 votes (20.3%), according to the Associated Press. The two will advance to a runoff election in November after no candidate secured a majority in the crowded field.

It was stupid of the SSPX to consecrate bishops, which was sure to lead to a reaction. But it was also stupid of the Pope not to meet with them. For heaven's sake, he met with the Archbisopette of Canterbury.

I'm convinced that Somalis abroad are the new "Romani". They are gypsies who introduce and perpatrate fraud where ever they go. The US, Canada, Switzerland, Sweden...it matters now. They set down temporary roots and go to town on what they can exploit. When things get a little too hot, they move on. As an example, Lewiston, Maine used to have nearly 25,000 Somali gypsies. When Maine got a little circumspect on how welfare was being applied, the Somalis moved onto Ohio, Minnesota, Buffalo, and San Diego. Lewiston is down to under 10,000 Somali gypsies at present.

Years ago, I had a sophomore English teacher who used a gavel. He would gavel the class to order, and use it on other occasions. He loved his gavel. TBF he did some things well, but overall he was a pompous ass of a teacher.

One day someone stole the gavel. Whoever did it would be considered a hero to all who attended that teacher’s classes.

I see this Somali flag theft as the same. Whoever stole it is a hero, nothing less. If the Buffalo city government hates America that much, well, they can swim to Fort Erie.

Squantos preferred living with the whites, because their culture was better. Massasoit said their problems would not come from the white man, but from other Indian tribes.

Yeah, they wanted more land (or just hunting grounds, they had no written language to really claim anything) ... they just battled with the neighboring tribes. They sold most of their lands to us, for beads, or for guns and other metal things for planting or whatever (since they didn't know about metal stuff.

They were savages mostly, and those still trying to live as "Native Americans" are much better off for our appearance and involvement in their lives. imo, and many others' opinions.

Travis could take that personally, you know.

250 If LIBs NEED America to fail!

To follow, not lead; to suffer, not prosper; to despair, not dream — LIBs start with energy.

LIBs cut off America's supply of cheap, abundant energy. Of course, LIBs couldn't take it by force. So, LIBs make Americans feel guilty for using the energy that heats their homes, fuels their cars, runs their businesses, and powers their economy.

LIBs make cheap energy expensive, so that expensive energy would seem cheap.

LIBs would empower unelected bureaucrats to all-but-outlaw America's most abundant sources of energy. And after banning its use in America, LIBs make it illegal for American companies to ship it overseas.

If LIBs wanted America to fail

LIBs use our schools to teach one generation of Americans that our factories and our cars will cause a new Ice Age, and LIBs muster a straight face so LIBs could teach the next generation that they're causing Global Warming.

And when it's cold out, LIBs call it Climate Change instead. LIBs imply that America's cities and factories could run on wind power and wishes...

262 LIBs would bring in hordes of Illegal Aliens and give them all the rights of American Citizens.

LIBs would make Voter ID an evil of Racism and give all the people LIBs helped bring in the rights to vote pretending it was a humanitarian gesture of inclusion.

Then LIBs would abolish the Voter ID laws that are used all around the world and even allow voting by mail with no ID.

LIBs would work with the complicity politicians and judges to transform the paper ballot system and replace it with digital voting machines that could be manipulated by my paid programmers sitting in far away locations.

LIBs would import paper ballots from China and use them in swing States so that my candidates would win with these extra ballots if they are needed.

LIBs would buy up the media and use my people to be the purveyors of my "truth" and all the radio and TV Channels will jabber the same stories LIBs have programmed them to use.

LIBs would then blackmail, bribe coerce and even threaten the Judges and the Justice Department bureaucrats and enforcers and make them comply with my plan to take over America.

LIBs would work with big corporations and bribe or cajole or threaten them so that .....

266 Read something about that the last state where slavery had to be ended was not Texas.

Maryland. And of course, after that, the Yankees still loved them some Indentured Servitude.

Look - it was awful, really awful, that we bought slaves. Truly. But get real. We didn't catch them (that was their fellow tribes that defeated and then sold them) and we didn't ship them (mostly the Dutch, but also Muslims).

Repatriation sounds great ... until we talk about repatriated back to J-Burg or such. They won't like it.

Something tells me that if Graham Platner was waiting for a burglar to break in, he'd be in the closet.

282 I have hashimoto's thyroiditis and want to weigh in on the thyroid conversation. Levothyroxine is a garbage product that doesn't do squat for most people. It is the bottom of the barrel of thyroid medications. There are much better options that are made from pigs, for instance, that mimic much more closely human thyroid hormones. Also, doctors poorly understand the thyroid function, and they don't test for T3 and T4 levels along with the basic TSH levels. In my experience endocrinologists are the worst people to ask for help with a thyroid condition, and the best are people who actually want to do more than write a prescription and collect your money for an office visit.

Lizzo Loses Weight and the Fat Fans She Cultivated as an Identity Group Drop Her Like a Bad Habit
Plus, Health Nonsense

Via John Sexton: When you sell yourself as the avatar of an identity cult, you'd better retain that identity if you want to remain its avatar.

Have you heard? Lizzo just put out a new album and, well, it seems no one bought it. The album, titled "Bitch," was meant to be a comeback for Lizzo but it looks like no one wants her back.

[CNN:] After reaching eye-watering success with hits like "Truth Hurts" and "About Damn Time," the four-time Grammy winner's latest effort has dropped with a thud, reportedly streaming under a million times on Spotify within the first 24 hours of its release, selling fewer than 3,000 copies in its first week according to Rolling Stone and failing to crack the Billboard 200 in the first two weeks.

Once ubiquitous in the culture -- as much for her full-on embrace of self-love and body positivity as for her infectious anthems -- Lizzo is now relegated to "what happened to her?" status.

What happened to her was Ozempic, which is considered Unholy by Fat Acceptance Movement Cultists.

She tried to explain her weight loss to her cultists:

I started losing weight in the fall of 2023. I was severely depressed...

I'd decided that winter to sit and record a video saying I wanted to intentionally lose weight. Why? I guess I felt like I had lost everything, and I wanted to change. After talking to a few therapists I discovered that my weight had been a protective shield, a joyful comfort zone, and even sometimes a super hero suit to protect me through life...

I was sick and tired of my identity being overshadowed by my fatness. People could not see my talent as a musician because they were too busy accusing me of making "being fat" my whole personality...

It kinda was, though.

Here she tries to spin: "fit" is "the new fat" and the body positivity movement has to evolve to accept less fat bodies as Also Positive.

They're not buying it.

I want us to allow the body positive movement to expand and grow far away from the commercial slop its become. Because movements move.

"What's complicated about Lizzo is Lizzo did make her body size part of her brand," said Tigress Osborn, executive director of the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance (NAAFA). There's also the fact that Lizzo is a Black woman, the activist said...

I mean, whatever. But yeah, if you sell yourself as Your Identity then you are trapped in that identity. Or at least you have to sell a new identity to new fans.

I didn't like her when she was fat and I don't like her now that she's slightly less fat. Either way, she's a low-talent skank.

Speaking of Ozempic: RFKJr. was glad to announce that for the first time in fifty years, obesity rates have dropped in America, but I'm guessing that has little to do with changing nutritional guidelines to something more sane.

The United States' obesity rate has dropped for the first time in 50 years under President Donald Trump's administration, Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced this week.

"Since President Trump came into office, obesity rates in this country have dropped by 2.5 percent," Kennedy announced during an event in Charlotte. "That's the first drop in 50 years."

Kennedy said that drop will have "significant impacts on health care costs in this country," noting that obesity drives the vast majority of chronic disease.

...

"When my uncle was president, three percent of children were obese. Now it's 20 percent... 77 percent of our kids cannot qualify for military service because of chronic disease, mainly obesity. This has national security implications. It is absolutely destroying our country economically. It's the biggest cause," he said.

Kennedy also said that obesity rates shot up in the U.S. because of ultra-processed foods and misinformation about proper nutrition -- not sudden laziness on the part of the American people.

...

The majority of calories consumed by Americans, he continued, come from ultra-processed foods.

"It's poisonous. It destroys your metabolic system. It makes you obese, and you know, people, diabetes, for example, is driven by ultra-processed food. When I was a kid, a typical pediatrician would see one case of type two diabetes over a 40 or 50 year career. Today 38 percent of American teens are diabetic or pre diabetic," he said, deeming it a "terrible crisis."

A study confirms that fasting actually boosts focus and brainpower, rather than reducing them, as people fear it will.

I mean sure, when you get pangs of hunger you're distracted. No denying that. But what people think is that the pangs of hunger are always present. They're not. They come for about fifteen or twenty minutes every couple of hours.

The rest of the time energy is high and the mind is clearer than normal.

As effective as fasting can be for weight loss, it's often thought that depriving the body of sustenance might have a negative impact on brainpower.

But is an impact on cognitive performance really an inevitable part of the fasting experience?

According to a huge, recently published review, it's not always the case.

Based on an analysis of 63 scientific articles representing 71 independent studies, and covering a total of 3,484 participants, the review found that there was no meaningful difference in cognitive performance between people who were fasting and people who were having regular meals.

It's a comprehensive counter to the idea that moderate, short-term restrictions on eating will deplete mental reserves in healthy people, an idea found everywhere from snack adverts ("you're not you when you're hungry") to the mantra that breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

On average, the data from the studies (each represented by a blue dot) showed similar test scores between people fasting and not fasting -- a straight line along 0 would be identical scores. Positive values indicate higher performance by satiated participants, relative to fasted participants, and negative values imply higher performance of fasted participants. (Bamberg & Moreau, Psychol. Bull., 2026)

The researchers behind the analysis -- psychologist Christoph Bamberg from Paris Lodron University in Austria, and cognitive neuroscientist David Moreau from the University of Auckland in New Zealand -- don't want people who could benefit from fasting to be put off by worrying that it'll lead to foggy thinking.

"For most healthy adults, the findings offer reassurance," Moreau explained in a commentary for The Conversation.

"You can explore intermittent fasting or other fasting protocols without worrying that your mental sharpness will vanish."

There's a famous scene in Sleeper where a future scientist notes that the hero came from a time when doctors told the populace that red meat, eggs, alcohol, cigarette smoking and utter were unhealthy -- "all of which we now know to be untrue."

I don't think that cigarettes or booze will be deemed healthy, but just about everything they told you would kill you for 40 years is now admitted to be healthy.

New Research Suggests Moderate Egg Consumption Is Linked to a Longer Life, Doctor Breaks It Down

A 2025 study tracking adults over 70 found that eating eggs one to six times per week was linked to a 29% lower risk of cardiovascular death and a 17% lower risk of dying from any cause.

A 2025 study tracking adults over 70 found that eating eggs one to six times per week was linked to a 29% lower risk of cardiovascular death and a 17% lower risk of dying from any cause.

Few foods have been as unfairly villainized as the egg. For decades, dietary guidelines warned against them, citing concerns about cholesterol and heart disease. But the science has been quietly shifting, and a new 2025 study out of Melbourne's School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine may be the most compelling evidence yet that moderate egg consumption is not just safe -- it may actually support a longer life.

What the Research Found

Researchers tracked adults aged 70 and older and monitored their egg consumption over time. Those who ate eggs one to six times per week saw meaningful reductions in mortality risk compared to those who ate them rarely or not at all.

The numbers are striking. Moderate egg eaters had a 29% lower risk of dying from cardiovascular disease and a 17% lower risk of dying from any cause. Importantly, those benefits plateaued at higher intake levels. Eating eggs seven or more times per week did not appear to provide additional protection, suggesting that moderation is the sweet spot.

I know that some commenters warn against low-calorie sweeteners. A study finds that one sugar alcohol, sorbitol, causes fatty liver disease just like fructose does.

Researchers have uncovered evidence that a common "sugar-free" sweetener may mimic some of fructose's harmful effects in the body.

That "sugar-free" snack in your kitchen may not be as harmless as it looks.

Scientists are raising new concerns about sorbitol, a common sweetener used in products marketed as low-calorie or diabetic friendly. New research suggests the sugar alcohol can trigger processes linked to fatty liver disease, especially when gut bacteria fail to break it down properly.

The study, published in Science Signaling, found that sorbitol can ultimately behave much like fructose inside the body.

Fructose, which is heavily used in soft drinks and processed foods, has already been strongly linked to metabolic dysfunction--associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), a condition formerly known as fatty liver disease. MASLD now affects an estimated 30% of adults worldwide and is increasingly being diagnosed in younger people.

....

The team found that after glucose is consumed, intestinal cells can convert some of it into sorbitol. Under healthy conditions, gut bacteria normally destroy much of that sorbitol before it causes problems. But when those microbes are missing or overwhelmed, sorbitol travels to the liver, where it is transformed into fructose-related compounds that drive fat buildup.

In effect, the body may be quietly producing its own fructose pathway even without consuming fructose directly.

Huh. I avoid sorbitol anyway because it's one of the sugar alcohols that causes GI problems. Your body might not be able to digest it, but gut bacteria can -- and they go crazy when they are fed raw carbohydrates.

I don't know why this is is new news, but low frequency subsonic sounds may cause fear and anxiety.

People exposed to infrasound may not consciously hear it, but they can show higher cortisol levels and increased irritability, which may help explain reports of "haunted" locations.

Infrasound refers to sound at very low frequencies, below 20 Hertz (Hz), a range that people usually cannot hear. It can be produced by natural events such as storms, as well as human made sources such as traffic. Some animals use infrasound for communication, while others move away from it. In a new study of whether people can sense infrasound, scientists found that although humans do not consciously detect it, their bodies still react, with exposure linked to greater irritability and higher cortisol levels.

"Infrasound is pervasive in everyday environments, appearing near ventilation systems, traffic, and industrial machinery," said Prof. Rodney Schmaltz of MacEwan University, senior author of the article in Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience. "Many people are exposed to it without knowing it. Our findings suggest that even a brief exposure may shift mood and raise cortisol, which highlights the importance of understanding how infrasound affects people in real-world settings.

"Consider visiting a supposedly haunted building. Your mood shifts, you feel agitated, but you can't see or hear anything unusual. In an old building, there is a good chance that infrasound is present, particularly in basements where aging pipes and ventilation systems produce low-frequency vibrations. If you were told the building was haunted, you might attribute that agitation to something supernatural. In reality, you may simply have been exposed to infrasound."

...

Participants who had been exposed to infrasound showed higher salivary cortisol levels. They also reported feeling more irritable, less interested, and more likely to perceive the music as sad. Even so, they could not reliably tell whether infrasound had been playing.

...

"Increased cortisol levels help the body respond to immediate stressors by inducing a state of vigilance," said Prof Trevor Hamilton of MacEwan University, corresponding author. "This is an evolutionarily-adapted response that helps us in many situations. However, prolonged cortisol release is not a good thing. It can lead to a variety of physiological conditions and alter mental health."

Maybe cities are causing people to be mentally ill by flooding them with subsonic noise.
