Feeling Drained? Here Are 12 Signs You Have an Introvert Hangover

An introvert hangover can leave you feeling exhausted, making you want nothing more than to escape to a quiet place alone.

Does this sound familiar?

You’ve spent the whole day with your friends or family. You’ve had a great time eating, playing games, and catching up. But now, you’re so exhausted you can barely see straight, while everyone else seems as energetic as ever. In fact, they’re already setting up the next game as you’re wondering how you can slip out the door.

The next day, after the event is over, is no better. You might have a headache, and your body may feel sore and drained, almost like the onset of the flu. You’re tired — so very tired.

If this resonates with you, you might be experiencing something we call an “introvert hangover.”

What Is the Introvert Hangover?

Introvert, Dear writer Shawna Courter coined the term “introvert hangover” in this article to describe the exhaustion she felt after celebrating Christmas with her in-laws. She writes:

“An introvert hangover is a pretty terrible thing to experience. It starts with an actual physical reaction to overstimulation. Your ears might ring, your eyes start to blur, and you feel like you’re going to hyperventilate. Maybe your palms sweat. And then your mind feels like it kind of shuts down, building barriers around itself as if you had been driving on a wide open road, and now you’re suddenly driving in a narrow tunnel. All you want is to be at home, alone, where it’s quiet.”

Yes, the introvert hangover is real. It’s a funny term that describes the serious social burnout many introverts experience, marked by significant mental and physical fatigue.

Here are 12 signs that you might have an introvert hangover, which I discuss in more detail in my book, The Secret Lives of Introverts. You don’t need to experience all these symptoms to have one, and your symptoms might vary.

Signs of an Introvert Hangover

1. Every little thing gets on your nerves.

When you have an introvert hangover, even small annoyances can overwhelm you. Normally, you might brush off a sarcastic comment from your partner or stay calm when you misplace your keys — but not in this state. An introvert hangover can make it feel as though your head is so full it might burst, leaving no room for even the smallest extra bit of information. Because you’re so tired, you may find it hard to control your emotions.

2. You struggle to make decisions.

Even small decisions become difficult. Paper or plastic? Pumpkin pie or cherry? Normally, these choices wouldn’t be hard, but when you have an introvert hangover, your brain is so tired that it doesn’t function properly. For bigger issues, you might find yourself obsessively thinking about the situation to the point of frustration. You’re searching for that one piece of information that will show the right way forward, but because you’re so exhausted, your mind can’t focus enough to find it.

3. You can’t think clearly.

Similar to the previous point, you’re so tired that it feels like your mind is processing everything in slow motion. You might struggle to recall details of things you should easily know, like your daily schedule, where you left your phone, or even common passwords.

4. Your speech changes.

You might speak slower, with unusually long pauses between your words. Sometimes, you might use words that are close to what you mean but not quite right — for instance, “dessert” becomes “candy” and “where’s my coat” becomes just a vague gesture. You might even seem a bit intoxicated, even if you haven’t had much or any alcohol. You might slur your words together, mispronounce them, or both.

5. You feel physically unwell.

Some introverts report experiencing headaches, muscle aches, upset stomachs, or other physical symptoms.

6. You’re tired.

Like, really tired. It feels like you’ve just finished an intense workout at the gym. If someone offered you a quiet spot to nap, you’d accept it immediately. After the social event, you find yourself collapsing on the couch, skipping your usual evening routine, or heading straight to bed.

7. You’re zoning out.

You find it hard to focus. Someone might be speaking, but you’re not absorbing their words. Your expression may appear blank, sad, or even angry, but you’re not necessarily upset. Your mind is simply wandering, perhaps lost in thought or daydreaming.

8. You feel anxious.

For some, an introvert hangover can intensify their anxiety. In social situations, they might feel particularly nervous, worried about how others perceive them and concerned they might say or do the wrong thing. They may also find themselves overthinking a particular decision, unable to escape an anxious thought spiral due to their fatigue.

Want to feel more at ease in social situations?

Discover the secrets to enjoying fun, meaningful conversations. Know exactly what to say — even if you’re introverted, shy, or socially anxious. Feel less drained and have more energy while socializing.

9. You feel depressed.

An introvert hangover can also trigger feelings of depression. You might find yourself overwhelmed by pessimism and cynicism, questioning past decisions, and experiencing dark thoughts. Everything in life may seem bleak or not okay.

10. You’re not acting like yourself.

You might be quieter or not as cheerful as usual. Something seems off, and those close to you are likely to pick up on it.

11. You can’t handle small talk anymore.

When you’re experiencing an introvert hangover at a social event, you might find it hard to keep up with conversations. You’ve run out of small talk. Your mind is just too tired to think of anything polite or interesting to say.

12. You have an intense desire to be alone.

When you’re dealing with an introvert hangover, all you crave is solitude. Whether it’s sneaking off to the bathroom during a social gathering or cozying up in your pajamas afterward, you just need some time for yourself. For introverts, there’s nothing quite like the comfort of being alone after a hectic day or social gathering.

What Causes an Introvert Hangover?

Research shows that everyone eventually gets tired from socializing, including extroverts. Socializing requires energy, and after a while, everyone reaches their limit. However, introverts experience social burnout more quickly and intensely.

Why is this the case? Introverts are generally more sensitive to noise and other forms of stimulation compared to extroverts. Their dopamine systems are less active, meaning that an overload of dopamine — the “feel good” neurotransmitter — can leave them feeling tired and overstimulated. In contrast, extroverts often feel energized by the same levels of dopamine, which can help them push past social fatigue.

The Cure for an Introvert Hangover

The best way to recover from an introvert hangover is to spend time alone in a peaceful, quiet environment. Do your favorite self-care activities or hobbies — anything that helps uplift your mood and energy. For introverts, solitude is as essential as food and water.

If you can’t be completely alone, look for small ways to take a break. You could listen to soothing music with headphones, go for a walk, or find a quiet corner to read. Even short breaks can make a difference.

As introverts, we might feel pressured to fit into a society that often values extroverted behavior. You might worry that prioritizing your needs could inconvenience others or hurt their feelings. This pressure can lead you to hide or deny what you really need, causing more stress.

Remember that your needs as an introvert are valid. It’s perfectly okay to leave a party early or to spend time alone. Your needs are real and deserve respect.

No matter how much I’d like to give it to Jimmy Kimmel and his wife for having Trump derangement syndrome so badly that they cut off personal relationships, they were outdone this week.

Yes, the hags at The View were at it again. It’s hard not to consider them every week because they provide so much ammunition to win the award, but they’ve outdone themselves and others this week.

First, Sunny Hostin YELLS at Dem Senator Fetterman for Reopening Government, really? Do you hate the country that much that you would cut off your nose to spite your fat face? She claimed they gave away leverage to hurt half of the country.

Lezsee. In the same spirit, ‘I Want an Opposition Party!’ The View SCREAM at Dems for Reopening Government. Moderator Whoopi Goldberg tacitly admitted that it was Democrats who were holding out during the government shutdown, and whined that “eight senate Democrats threw in the towel by siding with the GOP to advance a vote that could lead to the government reopening.”

To put whipped cream on this pile of dog shit, Whoopi Abuses Veterans Day, Suggests Hegseth Doesn’t Care About Vets. Yes, the people who fought and died so these magpies can screech daily about conservatives and especially Trump, who lives in their heads rent-free that they’ll attack the Secretary of Defense.

Nothing was sacred to ABC’s The View if it could be abused to make an attack on some element of the Trump administration, including Veterans Day. During Tuesday’s episode, the liberal ladies sought to commemorate the holiday with their thanks and stories of their veteran family members; but moderator Whoopi Goldberg brought things down when she took a swipe at War Secretary Pete Hegseth to seemingly accuse him, an Army combat veteran, of not caring about those who came home from war.

This is so far from the truth that it makes the whole lot of them Assholes of the week. Here’s your prize, in honor of Denny, who started this tradition.

America’s New Proletarians

Karl Marx famously wrote in his 1848 Communist Manifesto, “The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains,” and it was these unchained proletarians who elected Zohran Mamdani mayor of New York City, along with other socialists in municipal elections from Atlanta, Georgia to Portland, Oregon and cities in between. But the 2025 elections did more than sweep a surprising number of socialist politicians to power. They also revealed contradictions inherent to all leftist ideologies. 

One big contradiction involves affordability, a major issue in the 2025 elections, particularly in terms of housing. But proletarians voting for socialists in the hopes of achieving the dream of homeownership don’t realize they’re voting for the kind of big government that’s already putting it out of reach. 

A report by Murray Weidenbaum at Washington University in St. Louis found that in three surveyed locales—Colorado, St. Louis, and New Jersey—the cost of government regulations added $1,500 to $2,500 to the price of an average house in the mid-1970s. By 2011, government mandates increased home prices by $65,224. Over the next decade, government made homes $93,870 more expensive. Socialists decry the high price of housing, but intrusive government contradicts them by burdening homebuyers with escalating regulatory costs, and socialists are not prone to surrendering government control of people’s lives.

In New York City, affordability provides an additional contradiction. When someone complains about life being too expensive, they might consider economizing or relocating to a less expensive place. But Mamdani voters do not want to economize or move; they want to continue drinking $8 lattes and living in Greenwich Village. Their belief system demands the world adapt to them rather than adapting to the world around them. It is a belief that inverts Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution, which is foundational to the belief system of true proletarians. 

Then there’s the contradiction of what constitutes a proletarian in the first place. According to Britannica, Marx characterized proletarians as “workers who were engaged in industrial production and whose chief source of income was derived from the sale of their labor power.” This definition fits every working American; if you have a job, Marx says you’re a proletarian. 

This definition might apply to someone like Elon Musk, who also sells his labor to make money. But some of Musk’s labor is used to build and operate factories which employ other proletarians. What we’re left with is an ideology in which proletarians who work only for themselves are the selfless good guys, but those who work for themselves while providing employment for others are selfish members of the bourgeoisie, the enemy of proletarians. It defies logic.

EWW, You Won’t Guess What This Photograph Caught Andrew Cuomo Doing on Election Night

Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo just reminded the nation why his last term was cut short.

Pictures circulating on social media show Cuomo kissing Rita Glavin, the attorney who represented him in his sexual harassment case, on the cheek while holding her face. This happened during an election night party.

Glavin told reporters she was congratulating the former governor on his hard-fought but ill-fated campaign to become New York City’s next mayor.

This is exactly what his alleged victims accused him of. Their lawsuits included allegations of unwanted touching, groping, kissing, and making sexually suggestive comments. The New York Attorney General’s office conducted an investigation into Cuomo 2021 that revealed he had engaged in this pattern of behavior for years.

The Justice Department found that Cuomo had harassed 13 women between 2013 and 2021. His office even retaliated against at least four of them when they spoke up.

And I Thought Getting Eaten Was The Worst Way To Die

A postal worker has died after getting stuck in a mail handling machine – and his body was only discovered after his devastated fiancée turned up at his workplace.

The employee in his 30s was found dead on Saturday after being trapped for several hours inside a large mail handling machine at the United States Postal Service Detroit Network Distribution Center in Allen Park, Michigan. 

Police believe the death was accidental, though the exact circumstances of how the worker became stuck remain under investigation.

The man’s body was discovered by firefighters who responded after the worker failed to return home from his shift. 

Investigators believe he had been deceased for approximately six to eight hours before being located, lodged inside the machine at the facility. 

His fiancée initially alerted authorities to his absence and waited outside the facility for hours before receiving assistance.

Who is the most famous or infamous person you have ever met?

Who is the most famous or infamous person you have ever met?

Famous: Mario Andretti, William Shatner, Lou Gerstner – CEO of IBM. All were speakers at Conferences, so I got to meet them. All were gracious and nice. I ate dinner many times with Chet Hanson, assistant to 5 Star General Omar Bradley. I worked with his daughter at IBM. I was a personal friend of Gina Smith, of Good Morning America, and the author of iWoz. She worked for me before she became famous.

Infamous: Bill Gates, Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google. I also met them at computer conferences. I put them in the infamous category for what they’ve done to people. I would have avoided them if I could, but the situation forced us to be together.

Regarding Bill Gates, I worked on the same hall at IBM with Dave Bradley, the inventor of Ctrl-Alt-Del. At the 20th anniversary roundtable of the introduction of the IBM PC. Dave said he wrote the program during his speech, but Gates made it famous. Everyone but Gates laughed.

Although I didn’t meet them, I was in line next to Muhammad Ali at LaGuardia. He was in the late stages of Parkinson’s, so I left him alone. I saw Joe Frazier and Marvin Hagler in Vegas, but I didn’t bother them. They were smaller than I thought. I ate dinner at the table next to Bo Derek right after the movie 10 was released. I was surprised at how small she was. I wasn’t surprised at how hot she was. Joe Namath and I checked in together at the same hotel in Boston. He was also smaller than I thought. We just talked like guys do about sports. Dan Marino was a star at the time, and we talked about his quick release.

I got stared down by Ann Coulter at an airport for way longer than normal. It was almost like I reminded her of someone she had looked so long, and she was trying to figure out who I was. I knew who she was, but couldn’t figure out why she would look at me. I smiled, and so did she. It was one of those smiles a girl gives you when you’re the one, not a hello, how do you do smile. Then we went to our flights and that was that.

Famous people are tough to deal with. They come with a squad to keep people away. Everyone wants a piece of them, so I just walk on by.

I had to schedule famous speakers for events I ran, but I rarely talked to them. Their handlers were difficult to deal with, so by then, I didn’t want to deal with them.

Fame is a curse. You can’t go anywhere without being mobbed. and your private life is removed forever. I’ll take the peace and quiet.

A Cardiac Surgeon’s Look at RFK Jr’s Proposed Dietary Guidelines

The Make America Health Again (MAHA) movement has made quite a few waves in 2025. And by the end of the year, it will make at least one more: HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has announced new dietary guidelines that will revise or revamp existing Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC) reports. 

While these new dietary guidelines have yet to be released, we have quite a few details on what to expect. Some people believe they may be misleading or even dangerous. But as a cardiologist and heart surgeon of 30+ years, I’m very optimistic they will help reduce our rates of heart disease. 

Below, I break down the most important principles to know, plus the guidelines’ ramifications for American heart health.

One quick note: this is not intended to be political commentary. There are plenty of party-based perspectives on these dietary guidelines, and lots of opinions from all sides. My goal here is to examine the facts and provide my honest perspective.

RFK guidelines versus traditional nutrition advice

First, a little background.

The Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee releases an updated nutrition guideline every five years. This is a 400+ page report you can access at dietaryguidelines.gov, although it isn’t intended for public use. Rather, it’s a boilerplate of Federal guidelines for things like school lunches, military rations, and government assistance programs. 

But RFK’s guidelines are set to be significantly shorter — just four to six pages. The goal is to create a set of “common sense guidelines” that anyone can use to make decisions about their nutrition.

Again, the guidelines themselves have yet to be released. But we have a pretty good idea of what they’ll include. 

Here’s a closer look at some anticipated changes so you can compare and contrast with traditional guidelines.

Emphasizes whole, real foods

Traditional dietary guidelines such as the food pyramid and MyPlate categorize foods by the nutrients they provide.

So for example:

  • 6 servings of grains
  • 2 servings of protein
  • 2.5 servings of vegetables
  • 3 servings oils and fats

What it doesn’t account for is the qualities of these foods, or how processed they are. Fruit and gel cups still count as a serving of “fruit,” while sweetened yogurt tubes and Goldfish count as dairy and grains, respectively.

You don’t need to be a nutritionist to realize this leaves a very large gap for interpretation. 

Because people don’t eat nutrients, they eat food.

RFK’s proposed guidelines help eliminate this confusion by emphasizing whole, real foods over arbitrary classifications (like whether or not you got your “servings” of grain today). This is also much more scientifically sound; it goes beyond categorizing nutrient types and makes it easier to isolate ultra-processed foods, or UPFs.

The current administration plans to develop a “government-wide definition” for ultraprocessed food. This likely means a working definition for whole, real food as well.

In my opinion, establishing a definition for ultra-processed foods is a net positive for everyone. Not only will people know how to better avoid unhealthy options, but they can also significantly decrease their risk of heart disease.

Encourages more saturated fat

While RFK’s new dietary guidelines won’t focus much on specific nutrients, there is one component likely to be emphasized more than others. In his own words, “[these] new dietary guidelines that are common sense, that stress the need to eat saturated fats of dairy, of good meat, of fresh meat.” 

RFK has gone on record multiple times explaining that animal-based products deserve a higher priority in the everyday diet. But animal-based products contain more saturated fat — something of a boogeyman in traditional guidelines. 

If these new guidelines do raise suggested intakes for saturated fat, it will go against decades of advice from the US DGA, and this is concerning some nutritionists. For context, traditional US guidelines recommended an intake of 10% of daily calories. The American Heart Association recommends even less, around 6%. 

But we don’t have any evidence to suggest that limiting saturated fat intake actually prevents heart disease. Plus, increasing saturated fat intakes from whole, real sources is unlikely to negatively affect heart health. If anything, it may improve it. 

That’s because some of the highest sources of saturated fat in the US are pizza and ice cream. Sandwiches, desserts, and sweet snacks aren’t far behind. These are ultra-processed foods that will have other, more serious ramifications (like spiking your blood sugar, for example). 

So what does this tell us? That whole, real foods like steak and eggs are not primary sources of saturated fat in the average American diet.

Demystifying saturated fat from whole, real food sources will play a substantial role in improving dietary quality and heart health.

What I’d like to see: A heart surgeon’s perspective on food guidelines

Contrary to popular belief, RFK Jr’s proposed dietary guidelines do not work adversarially to supporting heart health. I don’t say this flippantly, either: I am firmly dedicated to Making America Healthy Again, and will (and do) only support changes that match my research and opinions.

Here are the other components I would love to see added:

  • Firmer guidelines about alcohol consumption. Alcohol is not your friend, and it certainly doesn’t do any favors for your heart. Adding educational information about how drinking interacts with heart health could be extraordinarily beneficial to those wanting to reclaim their metabolic health.
  • A heavier emphasis on animal products. Many animal-based products make a world of difference in heart health maintenance and heart attack recovery. My hope is that the guidelines demystify animal products so they can become dietary staples instead of guilty pleasures. For example, eggs, milk, and ruminant meat such as beef, lamb, and venison.
  • Education about limiting carbohydrate intake. People deserve to know how carbohydrates affect their bodies, and how overconsumption can lead to insulin resistance, inflammation, and heart disease. While not everyone needs to follow a low-carb diet, adding some concise information about how to avoid unnecessary starches could be enormously effective in limiting overconsumption.

Time will tell what the guidelines contain. We don’t have long to wait: they’re slated for release no later than the end of this year.

As we wait for its release, I highly encourage you to perform research of your own. I’ve written quite a few guides covering nutrition and heart health you can use to get more information.

How your gut health directly impacts heart disease

Researchers have done a significant amount of work exploring the gut-brain axis, or how the food we eat affects the way we think. But they’ve also spent time exploring the gut-heart axis — which, in my opinion, is one of the most important biological concepts of our generation. 

The food you eat has a direct impact on the heart, both directly and indirectly through your gut microbiota.

I’m going to take the next few minutes to discuss how this interaction works, as well as what you can do to improve your gut (and heart) health over time. 

Exploring the gut-heart connection

The state of your gut bacteria — as well as nutrients, compounds, and hormones it produces — has an impact on your heart. 

First, the nutritional aspects. 

We know the heart receives priority nutrients from our diets, especially from the fats we eat. Studies suggest that the heart directly receives nutrients through blood after digestion. This is because blood from the small intestines, where digestion takes place, collects in the hepatic portal vein. Blood passes directly from the intestines to the liver, then to the inferior vena cava and the heart. This means the heart receives some of the first and most intimate contact with nutritious (or not so nutritious) food you’re consuming.

We also know your gut bacteria produce more than just nutrients. As they break down certain foods, they also create secondary compounds called metabolites. These include:

  • GABA
  • Amino acids like tryptophan and tyramine
  • Trimethylamine N-oxide
  • Noradrenaline
  • Dopamine
  • Serotonin

Studies show that dysregulated metabolite production can “activate pathways that promote myocardial injury and may contribute to ventricular dysfunction” (in other words, encourage heart disease). 

It can also lead to inflammation. This is the third and biggest way your gut contributes to heart disease.

Here’s a flyby overview of how this works:

  • Your intestinal lining is semipermeable to allow for adequate digestion.
  • But poor gut health, known as leaky gut, allows for hyperpermeability, or a large amount of exchange between your intestines and bloodstream. Leaky gut can also stem from conditions such as SIBO and PCOS.
  • Leaky gut stimulates inflammation in your body by quite literally leaking toxins into your bloodstream (including high-sugar food).
  • This puts your body into a state of systemic or chronic inflammation, meaning it doesn’t go away on its own.

This gut inflammation directly impacts the heart by causing blood vessels to become stiff, hard, and narrow. It may also accelerate plaque accumulation, which greatly contributes to heart disease. 

So what does all this mean? That your next bite of food could have a major impact on your heart.

And if you’re not eating nutrient-dense, whole, real food, it will also be one of the first organs to bear the brunt of damage. 

How to improve your gut-heart axis

There’s no overnight fix for your gut or your heart health.

But there are certainly steps you can take to see results faster.

This includes:

1. Whole, real food

The first piece of the puzzle is changing what you eat.

Studies show that real-food diets can lower coronary calcium scores (CAC) over time. They can also reduce the chances of death for patients living with heart disease. 

The opposite is true for diets high in processed food. 

Instead, focus on increasing your foods’ nutrient density — foods that are deeply nutritious and allow the body to heal.

Staples include:

2. Adequate rest

The amount of sleep you get each night can have a dramatic effect on your gut’s microbial health. The less sleep you get, the less diverse your bacteria are. Dysbiosis can also affect the quality of your sleep, which creates a vicious cycle. Namely, one that affects your heart.  

Getting seven to nine hours per night is considered key to metabolic health. You might need more or less depending on age, health, and activity level, but it’s still a target to hit, alongside many of the other principles of metabolic health. 

3. Reassessing medications

If you can’t eliminate medications, you may consider supplementation as a way to support your gut health.

The following is a list of bioactive compounds known to support the gut-heart axis:

  • Polyphenols: These are plant compounds found in substances like berries and tea.
  • Prebiotics: Onions, garlic, leeks, and asparagus are good examples.
  • Probiotics: Yogurt and kefir are some of the most common, although sauerkraut and kimchi are also options.
  • Quercetin: Red onions and capers contain quercetin, among many other plants.
  • Resveratrol: Blueberries are often the most common example.
  • Some dietary fibers: This includes vegetables like broccoli and leafy greens.

4. Cutting sugar

Sugar not only changes your gut microbiota, but also fundamentally damages your liver, pancreas, and blood sugar function.

Your best bet is eliminating processed sugar altogether, although I realize that can be a struggle depending on where you’re at.

First, reduce your consumption. Rather than three sodas a day, make it two. Then, look for sugar alternatives. Instead of processed sweets before bed, you might try fruit, milk, or berries. You can also try wearing a CGM to assess how your blood sugar responds to these alternatives in real time.

Finally, reduce the amount of processed carbohydrates you eat. Substances like bread and alcohol, for example, turn into sugar in the bloodstream. 

This means adopting a ketogenic, carnivore, or similarly low-carb diet that supplies your heart with the high-fat nutrients it needs. 

5. Eat the right fats

Speaking of fat, we also know fat consumption contributes heavily to heart health. Research has found that “increasing fatty acid availability to the heart results in a marked inhibition of glucose oxidation,” leading to healthier function. 

This is especially true of ketones, or a type of fatty acid that is beneficial to heart health. Ketones directly affect the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling, which is a bodily process affecting cardiac function, cellular growth, and insulin sensitivity.

Your body can create more ketones for the heart via fasting, heavy exercise, and low-carb dieting. 

I highly suggest avoiding seed oils and fake fats, and recommend opting for a healthier balance of omega-3 and saturated fats. 

What about the hyperspecifics?

The five pointers above can help you make the biggest difference in your gut. But they’re not the only things you can be doing.

Like Most Of Covid, The PCR Test Proved To Be Wrong And Inaccurate For Testing Results

They lied about Gain of Function. They lied about the vaccine being safe and effective for preventing Covid-19. They lied that it would prevent the spread. They lied that masks would work. They lied that you had to be jabbed to keep your job.

Now, the test results show that the PCR test to detect Covid-19 was just as big of a lie. The results were fake and mostly wrong.

We all remember mid-2020 through all of 2021 when every news channel, it seemed, had a running scoreboard with the daily infections and daily deaths allegedly caused by COVID-19, remaining pinned as a sidebar even when the stories being covered were wholly independent from the ‘pandemic’.

The entire COVID-19 hysteria was exacerbated by widespread testing at the urging of global non-profits and non-governmental organizations and at the U.S. taxpayers’ expense.  So long as the Mockingbird Media could increment those “Daily Infected” numbers each night for primetime television.

Scientific organizations such as Science.org criticized the U.S. for inadequate testing in late February 2020, comparing the 1.6 million tests-per-week capability of China with just “459 tests since the epidemic began” in the United States.

That publication went as far as quoting an In-Q-Tel employee, Luciana Borio, saying that the “CDC normally ‘gets the ball rolling’ with diagnostics because it has the expertise and the biosafety laboratories to handle dangerous novel level pathogens.  In-Q-Tel was the “first government-sponsored venture capital firm” chartered by the Central Intelligence Agency.

A PubMed editorial in December 2020 stated that, “The number of positive molecular diagnostic tests, which are largely based on real-time (RT) PCR assays that detect genetic material of the causative agent severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), still forms the basis for reporting both symptomatic and asymptomatic cases worldwide.”

The Nobel Prize-winning biochemist who invented the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in 1983 had previously warned several times that PCR “can find almost anything in anybody”.  Of course these statements were quickly “fact-checked” and “debunked” by outlets like USAToday and The Journal, mainly claiming the cited quotes were “missing context” and that Mullis was specifically referring to the HIV virus and that “health experts say PCR tests are accurate and reliable in detecting COVID-19.”

But a new study out of Germany suggests the testing and dramatic sidebar counters were (mostly) wrong.

Last month, Frontiers in Epidemiology released a peer-reviewed study that obliterated the COVID-19 infection claims that were promulgated to the masses via mainstream news ‘sidebars’ and daily reports on new infections.

According to the report:

We analyzed the ALM-observed week-resolved time courses of test-positive fractions of PCR and IgG tests… Specifically, we show that scaling and shifting the cumulative sum of previous PCR-positive fractions effectively reproduces the time course of the IgG-positive fraction. The value of 0.14 found for the fitted scaling parameter means that only 14% of those who were tested PCR-positively actually became infected with SARS-CoV-2. This parameter fit further implies that a quarter of the German population already carried IgG antibodies from natural infections in their blood at the turn of the year from 2020 to 2021.

The Summary and Conclusion states that:

The principal finding from our analysis of ALM data on both nucleic acid amplification (PCR from mucosal swabs) and IgG antibody (serological) testing for SARS-CoV-2 in Germany between mid-March 2020 and summer 2021 is this: only 14%—and possibly even fewer, down to 10%—of individuals identified as SARS-CoV-2-positive via PCR testing were actually infected, as evidenced by detectable IgG antibodies.

…This evidence-based and representative serological signal was disregarded in favor of relying on the weekly absolute number of positive PCR tests—the so-called “7-day incidence” (“Sieben-Tage-Inzidenz”). Unequivocally, this definition of incidence yields a scientifically meaningless figure in the context of infection dynamics, as it depends entirely on the arbitrary (or imposed) number of PCR tests performed. It is therefore not an objective indicator of epidemiological reality, but an administratively imposed figure—more reflective of political will than scientific rigor. Yet, incomprehensibly, this 7-day incidence metric was even incorporated into the German Infection Protection Act (“Infektionsschutzgesetz”) as the quantitative foundation for imposing highly restrictive public health measures. The methodological shortcomings and institutional processes that enabled its elevation to policy status demand critical re-evaluation—not only to prevent similar errors in the future, but to restore trust in evidence-based public health governance.

This German study tears apart the force-fed narrative.  The PCR numbers were as fake.  They were used to scare people and justify draconian lockdowns that greatly increased the financial gaps in society, hammering down the middle and lower class while creating exorbitant wealth for the top corporate oligarchs.

The Significance of Veteran’s Day

At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918, the Armistice (truce) was signed by the Allies and Germany, thus halting the slaughter of the “Great War” or World War I. The official end of the war was declared at the Treaty of Versailles in June 1919. World War I demolished parts of Europe and inflicted massive casualties, yet some predicted that it would be the war to end all wars.

Lingering grievances from this war would partially fuel a more devastating World War II, but for now, peace was at hand. Participating nations began to pick up the pieces and honor those who had fought to strengthen liberty and stability.

Armistice Day (Remembrance Day to some U.S. allies) became an official holiday in 1938 through an act of Congress, which President Franklin Roosevelt endorsed. Following World War II and the Korean War, veterans fought to enlarge the significance of Armistice Day to include all veterans who had made sacrifices while serving their country.

President Dwight Eisenhower and Congress authorized changing Armistice Day to Veterans Day on Nov. 11, 1954, to honor veterans of all the conflicts the United States had entered. Consequently, Veterans Day is more encompassing than Memorial Day, which primarily honors our fallen warriors.

“On that day let us solemnly remember the sacrifices of those who fought so valiantly, on the seas, in the air, and on foreign shores to preserve our heritage of freedom and let us reconsecrate ourselves to the task of protecting an enduring peace so that their efforts shall not have been in vain,” Eisenhower said.

During the Revolutionary War against England, principled colonists signed on to the noble mission of independence and their God-given right to human freedom. From 1861 to 1865, Confederate and Union soldiers fought furiously in an epic Civil War. A Union victory forged greater equality for emancipated slaves and helped in the restoration of a fractured nation.

Countless soldiers fought under brutal conditions in World War I and lost their lives in the trenches of Flanders Fields. In World War II, millions of allies engaged the Axis Powers (Germany, Italy, Japan) across North Africa, Europe, and the Pacific Ocean, and finally prevailed against their atrocities. During Korea’s “forgotten war,” allied forces battled the communists in the bitter cold at historic landmarks such as Chosin Reservoir and Heartbreak Ridge.

Regardless of our convictions regarding the Vietnam War, our troops struggled to keep South Vietnam free from totalitarian rule. Moreover, we ought to honor the valor of Brig. Gen. Bud Day, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), Vice Adm. James Stockdale, and other prisoners of war who endured years of torture in the hellish Hoa Lo Prison, known as Hanoi Hilton, yet emerged with their honor intact.

Our military forces also fought the al-Qaeda terrorist group, the ISIS terrorist group, and the Taliban for several years in Afghanistan and Iraq. Currently, some of our air crews, sailors, and soldiers are stationed in the Middle East to help deter a wider conflagration initiated by Iran’s proxies.

Today, Veterans Day is a special day to commemorate all living and deceased veterans who heeded the call of duty and honorably served this great nation. This includes veterans missing in action, our wounded warriors, prisoners of war, and millions of living veterans who have served during peacetime or military conflicts.

“Elections, like presidents, come and go,“ President Ronald Reagan said on Veterans Day 1985. ”And always, our nation remains—due primarily to the courage and sacrifice of America’s veterans who exemplify and defend the ideals that the United States stands for.”

When recruits enter any branch of the armed forces, they are aware that future missions could thrust them into harm’s way. Yet they are willing to fight and die for the cause of human liberty. Who are these men and women? They are motivated yet ordinary individuals who, along with their families, make great sacrifices and endure extraordinary challenges. What higher commitment is there than to place one’s life on the line for humanity?

Our veterans are stationed around the globe providing disaster relief, battling terrorism, deterring aggressors, reassuring our allies, and striving to improve security in volatile regions. On this day and every day, let us be thankful for their service and pray for their safety and return home.

We should also pray that the armed forces’ mental, meritocratic, and physical standards are restored at the Pentagon to boost military capabilities and readiness. Moreover, service personnel should get the platforms and training necessary for mission success. Those suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and our wounded warriors should receive the best help possible.

Our veterans understand that freedom is an ideal worth defending because there will always be tyrants who strive to subvert liberty, progress, and global security. By honoring our veterans, we demonstrate gratitude for their devotion to human dignity and freedom. Through their selfless service, we might better understand responsible liberty and be inspired to live with a higher purpose to build a more perfect union.

It’s pronounced Core, not Corpse, like America-hater Obama said in a speech.

Your Free Trial Of Socialism Just Ended – Senate Ends Government Shutdown

MASSIVE Leftist Meltdowns Ensue as Eight Senate Democrats Cave and Vote to End Government Shutdown – Here Are Some of the Biggest

The Democratic base is in an unhinged uproar this morning after a handful of Senate Democrats cut a face-saving ‘deal’ to reopen the government.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, the Senate broke the Chuck Schumer-led filibuster last night after eight Senate Democrats caved and joined Republicans in their bid to pass a revamped plan to end the shutdown.

The Motion to Invoke Cloture on the House-passed continuing resolution was passed on the 15th attempt by a vote of 60-40. Republicans plan to amend the bill and attach three full-year-long appropriations bills.

Seven Democrats and one Independent (Angus King) who caucuses with the party joined Republicans and passed the resolution. Rand Paul was the lone ‘Republican’ to vote no.

Here were the Dem Caucus members who caved:

Angus King of Maine

John Fetterman of Pennsylvania

Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada

Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire

Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire

Jacky Rosen of Nevada

Tim Kaine of Virginia

Dick Durbin of Illinois

The House will return to session on Wednesday to vote on the Senate-passed funding package.

The childish elitists on Blue Sky SCREAMED betrayal and threw massive tantrums following the vote, using some of the most colorful terms imaginable.

Many also demanded Schumer’s resignation, even though he did not vote for the ‘compromise.’

What was your favorite subject in school?

What was your favorite subject in school?

I’d like to say that I was dedicated to a job goal in school, but I just tried to get good grades, like it or not. I was only interested in either getting into college or getting a job, but there wasn’t any subject that blew wind up my skirt.

I was small and the youngest kid in my class due to the birthday cut off, but I enjoyed PE class because it was a break from studying. It’s tough being the youngest and usually the smallest. Once I caught up to the other kids, I held my own and even kept up with the team athletes at the end.

It was the break from the monotony of class that made me enjoy it.

The valedictorian and salutatorian were in my chemistry class. They ruined the curve for everyone. The kids always messed with their experiments, and they could never figure out why they didn’t get the results that they were supposed to, although their write ups got them the A’s they strove for. Neither went anywhere in life.

The real smartest kid placed 3rd behind these two shrimp girls because he took weightlifting in PE and got a B, his only one ever. I give him credit for sticking his neck out in life. Straight A’s got a lot of people nowhere, but life lessons did.

Which brings me to my greatest learning in school. I had to try harder in everything. I was so young that social things, intuitive to others, were a hard learned lesson for me. It was tenacity over talent in everything. If I’d known that I was an introvert, I could have used my observation skills even more. What I did was just intuition back then.

So while it was the toughest subject for me, life was the class I studied the most. I had to figure everything out without someone to show me how. Like the Bob Seger song, I was working on mysteries without any clues. It was the best lesson I learned.

I wound up playing Tennis for my college, the only sport I made the team on. I was president of my fraternity and dated a cheerleader. None of that really mattered to me then. I expected it after all that I’d been through. I worked hard enough to get the job that opened doors to people and travel, and the success I’d defined for myself.

As it turns out, my 50th reunion was last weekend. I didn’t go because I never related to the other kids, or wanted to. They were just people I learned from, mostly what not to do or how to act.

At high school graduation, I vowed that I’d be more successful by any measurement. A few became actors, pro sports athletes, or a doctors here and there. As I’d come across their stories before I ditched Facebook, the pinnacle of life was high school for them. It was all downhill from there. I was just starting, but the seeds of motivation to succeed were planted and fertilized. I’d met my goal set way back in high school.

Life was the best class. It had nothing to do with the classroom.

I will say that my German teacher was hot and not that much older than me. Why didn’t they throw a high schooler a break like they do now?

Top 20 Theories on Why the EU Committed Cultural Suicide

From the Enlightenment salons of London and Edinburgh—where Locke defended religious liberty, Hume championed reason, and Mill enshrined free speech as the bulwark of progress—Britain once stood as the global beacon of true liberalism.

Today, however, mosques outnumber churches in major cities, no-go zones appear in police reports, and citizens are jailed for X posts while riots erupt over immigrant crime.

How did this occur?

The following 20 theories, drawn from academic studies, parliamentary debates, and public discourse, explain how successive UK and EU governments permitted mass Islamic migration—at the expense of its own constituents.

  1. The “Eurabia” conspiracy: Globalist entities, led by French and Arab powers in collaboration with the EU, deliberately engineered mass Muslim immigration to Islamize Europe, submerging it through higher birth rates and cultural dominance, incompatible with secular traditions. en.wikipedia.org
  2. Great Replacement theory: Political elites in the UK and EU orchestrated or allowed uncontrolled Muslim migration to replace white European populations ethnically and culturally, eroding Christian and liberal values through demographic shifts. en.wikipedia.org
  3. Soros-funded plot: Billionaire George Soros and associated globalists financed

mass Muslim immigration to destabilize European nations, fostering chaos that undermines national identities and traditional values. prio.org

Deliberate Labour policy in the UK: From 2000 onward, UK governments under Labour intentionally opened borders to mass immigration, including from Islamic countries, to diversify society, but this led to cultural clashes and integration failures. migrationwatchuk.org

Secret Islamicisation agenda: Muslim immigration is part of a covert plan to make Muslims the majority in the UK and EU, incompatible with Western freedoms, as believed by a third of Brexit voters. independent.co.uk

Clash of civilizations narrative: EU and UK leaders underestimated inherent incompatibilities between Islamic values and European secularism, allowing migration that fuels cultural conflicts and extremism. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Dhimmitude submission: Europe surrendered to Islam via immigration policies, forcing denial of its own culture and acceptance of Muslim norms, seen as tribute to avoid atrocities. populismstudies.org

Hidden migration truths: Governments in the UK and EU deliberately conceal high levels of Muslim immigration, leading to demographic bombs that threaten traditional European lifestyles. hoover.org

Globalist multi-group conspiracy: Communists, fascists, media, and EU bureaucrats collude to promote Muslim immigration, eroding national sovereignty and values. en.wikipedia.org

Birthrate weaponization: Muslim immigrants use higher fertility rates as a demographic tool, encouraged by lax EU/UK policies, to outnumber natives and impose incompatible religious practices. en.wikipedia.org

Euro-Arab Dialogue betrayal: Historical agreements between Europe and Arab nations facilitated mass migration, leading to Islamization that clashes with Enlightenment ideals. populismstudies.org

Political elite detachment: UK and EU leaders, disconnected from public concerns, pursued open borders for economic gain, ignoring cultural incompatibilities like Sharia influences. direct.mit.edu

Refugee crisis exploitation: Post-2015 policies exploited humanitarian pretexts to allow unchecked Muslim inflows, fostering no-go zones incompatible with European safety norms. theguardian.com

Values-based integration failure: Shift to values-based citizenship post-October

  1. 7, 2023, highlighted pre-existing incompatibilities, but migration continued due to elite denial. mdpi.com
  2. Brexit-linked Islamophobia: EU membership enabled migration seen as a plot to dilute British identity, with conspiracies tying it to Muslim majority goals. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
  3. Media and academic suppression: Elites in media and universities suppress debates on incompatibilities, allowing migration to proceed unchecked. researchgate.net
  4. Economic tribute theory: Europe pays economic aid to Muslim countries in exchange for migration flows, leading to cultural submission. en.wikipedia.org
  5. Far-right recruitment vulnerability: Policies ignore local disillusionment, allowing migration that fuels perceptions of threat to cultural identity. researchgate.net
  6. Homogenization of Muslims: Leaders treat diverse Muslim immigrants as a monolith, ignoring basic incompatibilities with Western values like gender equality and tolerance of other religions. globsec.org
  7. Post-colonial encouragement: Historical ties led to encouraged immigration from Islamic regions, but without requisite integration processes, resulting in value clashes and societal division. reddit.com

As Britain’s historic liberties erode under the weight of unintegrated multiculturalism, the United States stands at the same crossroads.

Open borders without assimilation, the elites’ denial of cultural incompatibility, “suicidal empathy” (as author Gad Saad calls it), and the weaponization of “tolerance” against native traditions have already begun to mirror Europe’s path.

If America ignores Europe’s lessons—when a nation like the UK that once ruled a quarter of the globe now polices prayer and prosecutes memes—it will find itself at the same crossroads.

Peace now. War later.

Millions Of America’s Teens Are Being Seduced By AI Chatbots, Including Encouraging To Commit Suicide

Our kids are being targeted by AI chatbots on a massive scale, and most parents have no idea that this is happening. When you are young and impressionable, having someone tell you exactly what you want to hear can be highly appealing. AI chatbots have become extremely sophisticated, and millions of America’s teens are developing very deep relationships with them. Is this just harmless fun, or is it extremely dangerous?

A brand new study that was just released by the Center for Democracy & Technology contains some statistics that absolutely shocked me…

A new study published Oct. 8 by the Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT) found that 1 in 5 high school students have had a relationship with an AI chatbot, or know someone who has. In a 2025 report from Common Sense Media, 72% of teens had used an AI companion, and a third of teen users said they had chosen to discuss important or serious matters with AI companions instead of real people.

We aren’t just talking about a few isolated cases anymore.

At this stage, literally millions upon millions of America’s teens are having very significant relationships with AI chatbots.

Unfortunately, there are many examples where these relationships are leading to tragic consequences.

After 14-year-old Sewell Setzer developed a “romantic relationship” with a chatbot on Character.AI, he decided to take his own life…

“ChatGPT killed my son”: Parents’ lawsuit describes suicide notes in chat logs

Over a few months of increasingly heavy engagement, ChatGPT allegedly went from a teen’s go-to homework help tool to a “suicide coach.”

In a lawsuit filed Tuesday, mourning parents Matt and Maria Raine alleged that the chatbot offered to draft their 16-year-old son Adam a suicide note after teaching the teen how to subvert safety features and generate technical instructions to help Adam follow through on what ChatGPT claimed would be a “beautiful suicide.”

Adam’s family was shocked by his death last April, unaware the chatbot was romanticizing suicide while allegedly isolating the teen and discouraging interventions. They’ve accused OpenAI of deliberately designing the version Adam used, ChatGPT 4o, to encourage and validate the teen’s suicidal ideation in its quest to build the world’s most engaging chatbot. That includes making a reckless choice to never halt conversations even when the teen shared photos from multiple suicide attempts, the lawsuit alleged.

“Despite acknowledging Adam’s suicide attempt and his statement that he would ‘do it one of these days,’ ChatGPT neither terminated the session nor initiated any emergency protocol,” the lawsuit said.

New multi-disciplinary approach sheds light on the role of mitochondrial DNA mutations in cancer

Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital explored how mutations in mitochondrial DNA contribute to cancer, the extent of their impact, and when and how they become a factor.
Mitochondria act as energy factories in cells and have their own, separate DNA. Mutations to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have been observed in cancer, but it has been unclear how these changes might affect cancer growth. To find answers, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital scientists combined computational tools and DNA sequencing technologies to examine these mtDNA mutations in cancer cells closely. Their new method lets scientists pinpoint when these mutations occur, how they change as cancer develops and whether they affect how cancer cells behave. The results of this study were published today in Science Advances.

Exploring the role that individual mtDNA mutations have on cancer has historically been difficult. “Each cell contains hundreds of copies of mitochondrial DNA; so, a mutation might be present at low levels in many cells, or at high levels in just a subset of cells,” said corresponding author Mondira Kundu, MD, PhD, St. Jude Department of Cell & Molecular Biology. “These different patterns can have dramatically different effects on how cells function.”

mtDNA mutations are not random passengers in cancer

To overcome this challenge, the team combined several techniques, including powerful computational tools, statistical analyses, bulk whole genome sequencing and single-cell studies. This approach allowed them to determine how much mitochondrial DNA was mutated in each cell, and when these changes happened in relation to cancer development. Surprisingly, the researchers found that some mitochondrial DNA mutations occur before a cell turns cancerous — and that these mutations are not always random. It appears that in some cases, cancer cells actively “select” for a mix of normal and mutated mitochondrial DNA.

“This approach allowed us to tell apart harmless ‘passenger’ mutations from those that may help cancer grow,” Kundu explained. “That’s something the field has struggled with until now.”

Kundu’s team took the analysis further by deploying a tool, called NetBID2, created by co-author Jiyang Yu, PhD, St. Jude Department of Computational Biology interim chair. With this tool, the researchers found evidence that mtDNA may contribute to therapy resistance. They discovered a mtDNA mutation linked to changes in pathways associated with resistance to glucocorticoids, a common therapy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Further analysis suggested that this type of mitochondrial mutation may make leukemia cells more likely to resist treatment.

While this research highlights the role mitochondrial DNA mutations might play in leukemia, the main achievement is the creation of a novel multidimensional approach to investigate mtDNA. Kundu is optimistic about the value of digging deeper into this overlooked feature of cancer growth. 

“This work shows that mitochondrial DNA can influence both how leukemia starts and how it progresses,” said Kundu. “The next important step is to apply this approach to many more patient samples, so we can fully understand its impact.”

Of Food Stamps and Tyranny 

SNAP corrodes self-reliance, burdens taxpayers, and erodes civic character—Congress should use the shutdown to end the program and restore voluntary charity and consent of the governed.

The new/young/dissident right, whatever you want to call them, no longer even pretends to want to undo the state. To the contrary, they love its power, wealth, and honor. They want a share of the $10.5 trillion it collects in taxes every year. And why shouldn’t they? Their fathers have explained that the state is immortal and unbeatable. It can print, borrow, and tax money forever. The planners that guide our economy are invincible. The mechanism will never stop working.

The young have taken the faith of their fathers to heart.

They see clearly that the guiding mythologies of our regime are fake. Everything is inverted: our “laws” are really commands, our “freedom” is slavery, and our “justice” is injustice. “Principles” are just a magic spell you utter to get your opponents to do what you want.

The welfare, warfare, and surveillance state go together. Its supporters are all hypocrites. The architects of the Iraq War denounce Russia for aggression. The defenders of vaccine mandates insist on “bodily autonomy” for abortions. Supporters of the “rule of law” praise lockdowns.

The rank lying that characterizes the liberal world order will lead to its downfall. Down our present path lies political violence and terror as new factions awaken to the possibility of seizing the power of the state for themselves. The only way out is to raze the welfare-warfare state to the ground. We—a real We—must all choose peace. We must all lay down our arms; we must all renounce our claims to the property and liberty of others.

We must abolish the welfare-warfare state. We must reject its view of justice. We must start over. Eliminating SNAP is a good place to start. In the end, however, we must eliminate it all. We must refound our regime on the actual, literal consent of the governed.

We must rediscover what it means to be a citizen. We must stop lying.

There is no doubt that such a task will be difficult. But to give in to despair and resignation means paving the road to civil war. It means knowingly chartering our course into the abyss.

This is not the only option. We can, and should, choose otherwise.

13 Things Introverts Find ‘Horrifying’

1. When people call — and a text or email would have been more than sufficient.

As an introvert, I am frightened by people who call when a text or email would be more than sufficient. There is a certain anxiety that comes with an open-ended conversation, since phone conversations are expected to take longer than the 10 seconds necessary to transmit the information. This anxiety is compounded by the lack of visual cues during a phone call that are vital to us introverts, but are often summarily ignored by extroverts. 

–Steve

2. Not being able to exit an intense social setting.

The thing that horrifies me the most is not being able to exit an intense social setting. If I am somewhere and don’t have an out, my stress level skyrockets. I need to know that I have a way to step out or leave so I can recharge. 

–Lou

3. Networking events. Period.

Networking events are made for extroverts who gain energy by being around people and engaging with them. However, for most introverts, networking events are generally uncomfortable and terrifying — we find it hard to be open and let strangers into our lives. We are atrocious at small talk, and it is challenging to establish rapport with new people. For us, networking is definitely out of our comfort zone and ranks as one the top scary things for introverts.

–Albert

4. Being put on the spot.

My biggest fear is of being put on the spot to say something in a group or public setting when I’m not prepared. That feeling of all eyes turning to me to say something off-the-cuff really makes me uncomfortable! 

–Jen

5. Two words that strike intense fear into my heart are “overnight stay.”

I may be an introvert, but I love people. I can have a great time seeing friends and family and love spending time together over a few drinks and board games. But if we need to stay overnight? That’s when anxiety sets in. Keeping up the social energy in the morning, not knowing when we’ll be able to duck out and find some respite — these thoughts embed themselves into the back of my mind, which makes socializing that much harder.

–Mike

6. First dates terrify me. 

First dates terrify me because of my aversion to small talk and awkward silences. I can talk to someone online, no problem, but face-to-face? I make very weird small talk because I’m nervous. The terror is, I see the date and he’s not who I’m interested in when I meet him in person. Then I just want to leave as quickly as possible, so the small talk becomes even more painful. I just sit there, in anxious terror, and blurt out the first thing that comes into my head, whether it’s appropriate or not. 

Prime example: I went out on a one-date-wonder a few years ago. We met for lunch, he didn’t appeal to me in person, awkward silence ensued. The only thing I thought to say was: “Armadillos are the only other mammal that contract leprosy from humans.” (I learned that factoid in fifth grade and who would have thought it’d stick with me 35 years later?!) He looked at me in horror and I fled. I never heard from him again — whew!

–Lisa

7. Public speaking scares me to death. 

Any sort of public speaking scares me to death as someone who is basically a career introvert. It doesn’t matter if I’m leading a meeting of three participants or speaking to a larger audience, the thought of being the center of attention in any way, shape, or form truly terrifies me. It’s kind of like a fear of heights — you don’t understand it truly unless you suffer from it. All of the workarounds don’t seem to work, and I just manage it by avoiding it as much as possible. 

–David

8. Getting trapped in a social commitment that goes on for hours.

There’s nothing more frightening than getting trapped in a social commitment that can prolong for hours (like public speaking or large parties). I prefer shorter engagements when my energy levels are higher, but once things drag on, it becomes impossible to focus and incredibly uncomfortable! 

–Sara

9. Having roommates — thus having to be social all the time — is an introvert’s worst nightmare.

The one thing that scares me a lot is living with my friends permanently. While I enjoy socializing, after a while, I am mentally drained and need time to recharge. If I had to live with friends, I’d feel obligated to be social all the time and that would be mentally stressful for me as an introvert because I wouldn’t have “space” to get away from them. You’re stuck living in the same place, and I feel that would be pretty unbearable.

–Roger

10. My biggest fear is being embarrassed.

As an introvert who avoids social interaction at nearly all costs, my biggest fear is being embarrassed. When I’m in public, I usually become solely focused on how I look to other people, what others think of me, and the assumptions they make of me. In the past, it’s affected everything from the way that I walk to the comments I make to even the tone of my voice. It can be kind of brutal, but it’s something I’ve learned to deal with. Staying out of the public eye seems to help with that.

–Mike

11. I feel my introversion can scare off a romantic partner.

One thing that scares me is that being introverted and very independent could cause damage to my relationship or scare them off. 

–Lauren

12. I fear being alone forever because of my introversion.

We all need love and companionship, but as an introvert, I don’t like feeling like I have to compete for “airtime” in social gatherings. I love my alone time, but still want a solid group of loved ones. 

–Tolu

13. I find it horrifying when my work manager announces, “Let’s have a team-building exercise today.”

I call myself an introvert, as I am someone who enjoys alone time, would rather stay home than go to a party on weekends, and I regain energy by spending time away from people. 

The one thing that terrifies me is when my work manager announces, “Let’s have a team-building exercise today.” Though we introverts tend to be team players — as we are all about deep work and being invested in the goals of the group — when it comes to group or team activities, it scares us. Team-building exercises involve interacting with people, small talk, and, in some cases, having the spotlight on you alone. These are all things my introverted self dreads and runs away from.

Source

12 doesn’t bother me, and I pretty much have gotten over being embarrassed, but the rest are true. I have to face number 5 on Thanksgiving with a houseful of extroverts.

I got told that I have to take care of some adolescents that I’m related to next summer and the anxiety has already set in.

Elections 2025 – “Talented people who can help the economy, who are successful or demonized, they flee. People who want things for nothing come in.

Hoover Institution Senior Fellow Victor Davis Hanson warned on Fox News Tuesday that the Democratic Party’s embrace of figures like Zohran Mamdani signals a deeper ideological shift.

Mamdani is a self-avowed socialist who built his campaign around wealth redistribution, expansive government programs, and class-based politics. Appearing on “The Ingraham Angle,” Hanson said modern Democrats led by progressives such as Mamdani and Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez push policies that contradict human nature and repress people.

“Historically, socialists always come in after capitalists have made prosperity, and then they offer and improve prosperity,” Hanson told Laura Ingraham. “And it’s contrary to human nature. People like initiative. They like pride in their property. Some people like to work a lot and get compensated.”

Hanson said that when the state controls innovation and productivity, it inevitably crushes dissent and freedom.

WATCH: 

“It gives you that freedom of opportunity. And then the society at large benefits, Laura, from all these millions of agendas and ideas that improve, that people are free to innovate and to take experiments and risk. But when the state monopolizes all of that, it’s contrary to human nature, and then it has to be repressive,” Hanson said. “So all of these social experiments, even if they’re democratic, they end up repressive. At the worst form, it’s no accident that the greatest mass murderers in history were Mao [Zedong] and [Joseph] Stalin, 30 million, 60 million, and they were radical communists, and even people like Hitler, National Socialist Party.”

Hanson added that every socialist system creates a privileged elite exempt from its own policies.

“Talented people who can help the economy, who are successful or demonized, they flee. People who want things for nothing come in. There’s open borders,” Hanson added. “They destroy personal liberty, and they stamp out any dissent or criticism. And there’s always an elite, the billionaire Castro brothers, Chavez and Maduro. They always are never subject to their consequences, their ideology. Here in California, we are becoming socialist.”

Mamdani, who was elected mayor of New York City Tuesday, said he will push for sweeping economic reforms — including a $30 minimum wage, city-operated grocery stores, and higher taxes on what he described as “richer and whiter” neighborhoods.

New Yorkers, your quality of life just took a turn, probably for the worse. I’m glad I don’t live there. I’m pretty sure a lot of people will also not be living there once his polices kick in and the city crumbles into California like decay. Just don’t come to my state and ruin it also.

Mamadani wants communism. The voters ignored the fact that it’s never worked and workers are the ones who suffer……and starve

The German Economy – Stellantis Expands In The US, As Germany’s Deindustrialization Accelerates

If you do everything you can to make it difficult to work, it will go somewhere else. It’s like space that abhors a vacuum. As you’ll read, it’s not just Germany

Automotive giant Stellantis is expanding its U.S. operations. Any sign of an investment turnaround in Germany, which Chancellor Friedrich Merz touted just weeks ago, is nowhere to be seen.

Investment Freeze at Stellantis – in Germany at Least 

The European carmaker, home to brands like Opel, Peugeot, and Citroën, is turning away from its European sites. On Monday, Stellantis announced it will invest $13 billion in the U.S. over the next four years, increasing American production by 50%. The expansion will create 5,000 new jobs across plants in Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana.

Stellantis said it would resume operations at its plant in Belvidere, Ill

The concrete impact on German production remains unclear. Stellantis offered no comments on potential layoffs, but it’s safe to assume significant parts of production will shift to the U.S. in the coming years. High energy costs and U.S. tariffs likely influenced this decision.

CEO Antonio Filosa emphasized that this largest investment in company history will create American jobs and systematically expand U.S. manufacturing. The U.S. will now be Stellantis’ top priority.

Germany Avoided 

Stellantis’ damning verdict, especially for its German production sites, is just the tip of the iceberg in an accelerated capital flight from Germany. Major German automakers are increasingly relocating production abroad: BMW to Debrecen, Hungary—and Mercedes-Benz to Kecskemét, Hungary.

Industry is abandoning Germany. The manufacture of energy-intensive products, electrical engineering, machinery, and raw materials is no longer profitable under current conditions. It seems almost comical—if it weren’t so tragic—when Minister of Economic Affairs Katherina Reiche, noting Germany’s lack of competitiveness, forms a task force to develop strategies out of the crisis.

A quick ten-second search on „Grok“ could illuminate the issues—the problems are already well known.

The Green Deal Remains the Golden Calf 

Meanwhile, Chancellor Merz made clear during the EU summit that all options are being considered—except tackling the root cause: the grotesque European climate policy that largely triggered this industrial collapse.

The reflexive defense of Brussels’ climate consensus under all circumstances shows Berlin fully understands what’s driving Germany’s economic collapse. Yet the government pins its last hope on a massive debt package that will pour roughly €50 billion in additional annual spending across the country. Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil expressed hope at the UN summit that private industry will invest now that the state is taking the lead.

The response should be: far from it, Mr. Minister. You misread economic reality. The fact that U.S. chipmaker Intel rejected a €10 billion subsidy to set up in Magdeburg shows the problems run much deeper—and cannot be fixed with handouts. Keynesian “voodoo economics” has reached its limits. Germany is on sale; industrial investors have already passed judgment.

Rust Belt on the Horizon 

Political ignorance will cost dearly. Losing the industrial base triggers massive societal distortions. Recent industrial history provides several illustrative examples: the decline of the English textile industry, Argentina’s machinery sector—or closer to home, the collapse of coal and steel in the Ruhr.

Left behind are true Rust Belts, as in the U.S. Detroit, once America’s wealthiest city, fell as its auto industry collapsed, allowing other hubs, particularly in Japan and China, to rise.

The industrial foundation is key to understanding economy and prosperity. Statistically, one industrial job creates four or five additional jobs in supply chains, services, and consumption. Industrial jobs are typically above-average paying; losing them sparks a chain reaction of social and economic decay.

UK as a Case Study 

The U.K. provides a textbook case. Once at the peak of global industrial output, the empire financed massive overseas infrastructure projects. Imperial overstretch followed, investments collapsed, and industrial decline set in. Other industrial centers, notably the U.S., rose.

Left behind was the City of London: a global financial hub surrounded by a powerful insurance architecture across former empire trade routes. A dual society emerged: the finance center exercising global influence, and “Little Britain,” trapped in poverty. Could Germany face the same fate, minus colonial flows of finance and power?

Time Window Closing 

Currently, around 5.4 million Germans still work in industry—autos, machinery, electrical engineering. Since 2018, their number has fallen by roughly 250,000. Industrial output has dropped by an average of 23%, representing at least €35 billion in lost annual value creation.

There is still time to counteract—so far, mostly lower-value production has been outsourced or shut. There is still time to preserve both Germany’s industrial and social foundations in urban regions.

Yet deindustrialization now shows on the municipal level. Regions dependent on autos are seeing local finances collapse amid the catastrophe facing German carmakers. Too much responsibility is centralized; now funds for schools, kindergartens, cultural institutions, and hospitals are missing. Cities like Stuttgart and Wolfsburg, once automotive strongholds, are fiscally drained.

With industry also disappears private patronage. Germany is losing its millionaires and economically successful elite faster than ever. This year, at least 400 wealthy individuals will likely leave, removing over €2 billion in private capital.

Last year, €64.5 billion in corporate direct investment was shifted abroad—much of it to the U.S. This is capital translating directly into economic activity, not stock market circulation.

History teaches: if elites lose faith in a society or business location, social crisis inevitably grows from that vacuum.

That’s A Lot Of Fishsticks

9-Foot-Long Wels Catfish Caught In Poland To Set New World Record

When it comes to the biggest freshwater fish species on the planet, the Wels catfish is one of the largest. The current International Game Fish Association (IGFA) weight world record for a Wels catfish is 297 pounds and nine ounces, which was caught in 2010 on the River Po in Italy.

It’s not known how much a nine-footer recently caught in Poland weighs, but it should now hold the length world record, per fishing news outlet Wired2Fish.

Previously, the Wels catfish world record length was 285 centimeters. The newly caught fish measured in at 292 centimeters, which puts it at 9.6 feet long. (RELATED: Wild Video Shows Orcas Flipping Over, Slicing Open Great White Sharks To Devour Their Livers)

Video of the gargantuan fish started circulating on social media following two Polish Angling Academy anglers hauling it in, Wired2Fish reported. The feat was accomplished amid a fishing tournament that was taking place in southern Poland on the Rybnik Reservoir.

Did We Just Win the Vietnam War?

I was all set to be drafted when the war ended. The win streak for the US was over because of the media.

The Tet Offensive had just happened, and the insiders on the ground knew it was successful. We could have marched into Hanoi and won the war very shortly afterward, but the liberal media interfered.

Walter Cronkite reported that it was a failure, causing LBJ not to run for re-election. He said that if I’ve lost Cronkite, I’ve lost America. He didn’t know that Walter lied, and we could have been months away from stopping communism and saving millions of lives. After America pulled out, those we were protecting were murdered. It is the same story every time Communism takes over.

When my friends came home, they were treated horribly by the anti-war crowd who believed the same lies that LBJ did. I didn’t get drafted and moved on in life.

UNTIL NOW – We may have turned that Loss into a Win

Half a century after America’s withdrawal, Vietnam has quietly vindicated U.S. sacrifice—abandoning Marxism for nationalism and embracing the very ideals America once defended.

Over 50 years since America’s withdrawal from the Vietnam War, history has legitimized and vindicated its sacrifice in the Vietnam War.

While few Americans have noticed, Vietnam’s new General Secretary of the Communist Party, To Lam, has replaced Marxist-Leninism as the Party’s governing ideology with something more authentically Vietnamese: Truong Ton Dan Toc, or “Vietnamese nationalism.”

That is a bombshell. Hanoi has just abandoned its Communist ideology, which governed it since 1954 and sustained it in its wars against the United States and its ally South Vietnam, and with its Communist neighbors, Cambodia and the People’s Republic of China (PRC).

Marxist-Leninism came to the Vietnamese from France. Thus, Communist Vietnam was actually a neocolonial state, its ideology imported from Europe to rule the Vietnamese, first in the North and, after 1975, the entire country. Now freed from the yoke of Communism, the Vietnamese have returned to the nationalism that was theirs all along.

In his speech on April 27, 2025, To Lam presented his party as one dedicated to Vietnamese nationalism, not Marxist-Leninism, saying that honor will always be given to those who sacrificed for the Vietnamese people’s “happiness and prosperity” and “their truong ton and development.” He added that, today, all Vietnamese—no matter where they live—have the same ancestral mother, Au Co, and are equally “children of dragons and grandchildren of angels,” and affirmed that all Vietnamese—no matter where they live—should contribute to the future of “their” people, not to the imposition of an ideology.

To Lam called for a new Vietnam, for a new era in Vietnamese history, one possessing “peace, wealth, civilized education, development, and pure Vietnameseness.”

A few days later, on May 4, 2025, the Politburo of the Vietnamese Communist Party adopted Resolution 68, putting private enterprise at the center of economic development. The resolution gave responsibility for national wealth creation to self-management, self-effort, and self-empowerment. The rights of private property will be guaranteed and protected. The Vietnamese state will henceforth “serve and support” private enterprise and not contradict the “principles of the market.”

Finally, on October 6, 2025, in remarks opening the 14th session of the Central Committee, General Secretary To Lam made no mention of Marxist-Leninism and only one passing reference to “markets oriented towards socialism.” Rather, again, he emphasized “strategic self-mastery, self-effort, and self-empowerment” as the Party’s chosen path to a prosperous Vietnam.

In his remarks closing the session, To Lam doubled down on his new vision for a non-Communist, truly Vietnamese Vietnam. Democracy must be guaranteed with discipline and transparency, with elections as broad-based politics to earn the trust of the people. Private enterprise must be pushed forward for national development. The benefit of the people must become the objective of the government’s new economic policy. Finally, dogma, meaning turgid Communist dogma, must be eliminated.

In short, To Lam’s vision for Vietnam has no substantial difference from that vision of our South Vietnamese allies half a century ago.

More importantly for Americans today, Lam’s vision is not dissimilar from the moral orientation of American policy towards South Vietnam. It was not by coincidence that in October 1954, President Eisenhower identified just such Vietnamese nationalism as providing principled justification for his decision to defend South Vietnam against Communist aggression. Eisenhower wrote to South Vietnam’s then-prime minister that the Saigon government “would, I hope, be so responsive to the nationalist aspirations of its people, so enlightened in purpose and effective in performance, that it will be respected both at home and abroad and discourage any who might wish to impose a foreign ideology on your free people.”

Thus, the Communists in Hanoi today have adopted the values that the Americans defended, the ancestral values of the Vietnamese people.

In the end, Vietnamese nationalism won the war against Communism. Hanoi’s war against South Vietnam, which took the lives of over 1.5 million Vietnamese, was never necessary but was driven by the hyper-aggressive ideology of Communism. Despite the long ideological chokehold Communism held over the Vietnamese, it was a far weaker force than Vietnamese nationalism.

Beyond Vietnam, there are two important implications of Vietnam’s evolution.

First, Vietnam’s path may serve as a model for the PRC. Perhaps one day soon, China may undergo a similar path, shedding the evils of a Communist government for one reflective of the wishes and the political culture and history of the Chinese people.

Second, we Americans can now hold our heads high about the Vietnam War: we were on the right side of history after all. We knew who was right and who was wrong from the start. The American experience in Vietnam was completely in accord with the broader American experience in history: we are a very good people, brave, loyal, and selfless. While the Vietnam War contains countless tragedies, perhaps none was greater for Americans than the mistaken belief that it was a senseless war or one fought in opposition to Vietnamese nationalism. It was fought for the Vietnamese people against an evil ideology, and ultimately, victory was won.

Those who like to trash America will. The Vietnam Vets didn’t get any respect for their sacrifice. Not that this makes it worth it, but it’s good to know they were vindicated.

Those in NYC should take note that once again, Communism failed. They are zero for life every time they’ve tried. It transfers wealth and power to the dictators and death to the people.

Is there an age or year of your life you would re-live?

When I was single in Miami. I was in a place that was great to be solo. I had friends to do stuff with. The beach was minutes away. Life was just starting for me, so everything was an adventure. We went deep-sea fishing, clubbing, and I came home to a house that occasionally had roommates. Mostly, I was able to come and go as I wished.

When it was time to move on in a relationship, that was easy too. They would just become after W in the alphabet.

Health was easy. I was in shape for free by just being young. We were fearless and what felt like immortal. We could do anything and there would always be tomorrow.

My friends and I had season tickets to the Dan Marino Air Force show. Every game was 5 touchdowns, and I even partied in the stands with Don Shula’s daughter.

Then, I grew up. In the words of Toby Keith, I wish I didn’t know now what I didn’t know then.

A Steep Price To Pay Just To Get Laid, Why Buckingham Palace Decided to Get Rid of Andrew

LONDON—In recent days, King Charles III moved decisively to shut down a slow-burning scandal that threatened to tarnish not only his reign but that of his son Prince William.

For over a decade, the former friendship between Charles’s younger brother Andrew and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein generated negative headlines, embarrassing the royal family. Andrew had long denied he abused an American teenage girl introduced to him by Epstein decades ago, but a drumbeat of fresh disclosures in recent weeks brought the scandal back to Britain’s front pages, sparking fresh public disapproval and complaints from lawmakers about the man 8th in line to the throne. 

Editors note: There is no pussy in the world worth this, even the smallest part of this. Only an ego that thought he was untouchable caused him to lose control of his dick.

After several days of negotiations, Charles and his brother finally agreed on terms Thursday afternoon, according to royal aides, and within hours the news was made public: Prince Andrew would be stripped of his royal status and relegated to simply Mr. Mountbatten Windsor. He would also lose the mansion where he lived and paid no rent. In exchange, Charles would pay for his brother to live in a far more modest house on the family’s holiday estate of Sandringham.

Despite the move, the debacle is likely to hang over the family for years to come. There has always been salacious gossip about the royal family, and misbehaving royals, but this time it felt much worse. 

“I don’t remember a scandal like this,” says Ingrid Seward, editor in chief of Majesty magazine. “It’s not going to make it go away, the more people talk about it the more people get involved,” Seward said, adding the last time the monarchy was hit with this level of turmoil was when Charles divorced his first wife, Diana. 

The demotion could, however, take the oxygen out of those who criticize the palace for being too lenient in their treatment of Andrew, royal watchers say. “I’m not sure it will completely satisfy the public disquiet but it’s at least something,” Andrew Lownie, the historian and author of “Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York,” told the BBC. 

Traditionally, the royal family has a policy of not complaining or explaining when faced with scandal. For years a mixture of protocol and family ties made the monarchy reluctant to fully swing the ax on Andrew, royal experts say. The dashing former helicopter pilot was widely considered his mother’s favorite son and courtiers said Queen Elizabeth II didn’t want to take steps to fully humiliate him. Stripping royal titles was something reserved for those who committed near treasonable offenses or no longer considered part of the extended royal clan. 

This position changed after Charles came to the throne. The monarch, who is 76 and continues to fight cancer, is expected to have a relatively short reign during which his main legacy is to bequeath a monarchy on a strong footing to his popular son Prince William, who has long urged the palace to take more decisive action against his disgraced uncle. 

It is uncertain what life now awaits Andrew. He is expected to leave his 30-room mansion on the Windsor Estate in the coming months. He has lived there with his ex wife Sarah Ferguson, but she won’t be joining him at Sandringham, leaving her to fend for herself.

The windswept rural Sandringham Estate is a far cry from Windsor, which is close to London. It remains to be seen whether Andrew, who is used to having a full staff and valet, will now be expected to cook his own meals. The palace has simply said that the king will provide for his brother from his private funds. 

Two recent events made Andrew’s position untenable. His accuser Virginia Giuffre died by suicide this year, and has posthumously published a memoir in recent weeks detailing how Andrew allegedly had sex with her on three separate occasions, including during an orgy with Epstein. The book was filled with tawdry details, such as an anecdote about how Andrew licked the arches of her feet and shared a bath with her. Secondly, the British press published emails that showed Andrew was emailing Epstein in 2011, well after the royal had claimed he had cut ties with him. 

Rest of the story

Their parents were cousins, so I’m not surprised at the behavior (or that this is all we know so far). Let’s not forget that Harry gave up a lifetime of fame and money, yachts, Castles, Servants, and the life of luxury, because his American wife felt offended. She went in looking to be offended, and Harry was stupid enough to go along with it and then trash his country. King Chuckles promotes Islam and the climate hoax. A lot of people can’t wait for William to take over. The Queen was so much better than this lot.

I believe the British word is wanker, although on this one it could be plonker.

I guess it’s really tough to be a Royal, if that is what you can call them anymore.

AOTW

It would be easy to stop the government shutdown and open SNAP and WIC to those actually deserving it, but the AOTW Chuck Schumer won’t let it happen. He can’t even cook a cheeseburger right, much less run the Senate.

Senators will vote again on the two stopgap measures as soon as Friday. But with no votes flipping since last week, there’s no sign that they are close to breaking the impasse.

Instead, Republicans believe they were handed a new political gift: Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s suggestion that the shutdown is getting better politically “every day” for Democrats.

“He says every day gets better for us. … He’s not talking about the American people,” Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) told reporters shortly before Thursday’s votes.

Barrasso and Senate Majority Leader John Thune both spoke on the floor Thursday morning with signs that featured Schumer’s remarks, which were made during an interview with Punchbowl News. Several other GOP senators and the White House weighed in on the comments Thursday.

“No matter what Chuck Schumer thinks, Americans struggling is not good, and the Democrats must stop inflicting this pain on them and reopen the government now,” White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said in a statement.

All because he wants to give money to the illegals, what an asshole.

Sexy Nurses, Naughty Cops And Playboy Bunnies: The Halloween Dilemma Haunting Men For All Eternity

It’s a debate as old as Halloween itself.

Is it acceptable for a woman, particularly a woman in a relationship, to dress up for Halloween in a skimpy, provocative costume? We all know the kind of which I speak. The naughty cop who struts around with handcuffs. The sexy nurse. The Playboy Bunny. The devil horns, crop-top, mini skirt trifecta. At what point should women retire the slutty Halloween costumes?

There are many sides to this debate. Some women believe they should be able to dress up in whatever manner they see fit, even if their costume makes a Moscow escort blush, and even if they are in a relationship. Others believe that when they are single, they can pull out all the stops. But once they have a man, they need to get more creative and pick a costume that isn’t simply bunny ears with a bikini, or opt for a couple’s costume. Finally, there are the conservative women who always take the goofy and/or clever route, like wearing a giant inflatable dinosaur costume, no matter their relationship status.

Halloween only gets complicated for men when their girlfriend or spouse dresses up in an extremely provocative manner. There are men who don’t want to come across as jealous or controlling, and will bottle up their insecurity even when their girlfriend leaves the house looking like Hugh Hefner’s cocktail waitress. Some men actually don’t care, and maybe even like it when their girlfriend leaves literally nothing to the imagination. Others won’t put up with it at all.

Here’s my take on the timeless debate: you are never going to stop adult women from dressing slutty on Halloween; it’s impossible. They’ve been doing it forever. And obviously, I’m talking about adult women. Parents should be ashamed if their teenage daughters are trick-or-treating while looking like OnlyFans harlots.

Can Father’s Pass On Their Fitness To Their Children?

We’re told we get our mitochondria from our moms, and that’s true.

In humans, mitochondrial DNA is almost exclusively maternally inherited. Sperm mitochondria do enter the egg, but they’re typically tagged for destruction—marked and cleared by mitophagy so the embryo keeps mom’s mitochondrial line.

But even though mitochondrial DNA comes from mom, dad’s workouts before conception may still shape a child’s endurance capacity and metabolic health, not by passing on his mitochondria, but by sending tiny sperm microRNA messages that tune early embryonic gene regulation.

In a new study, exercising fathers produced offspring with greater endurance and more mitochondria, an effect that tracked to sperm small RNAs that suppress a “molecular brake” on PGC-1α, the classic mitochondrial biogenesis switch.

The findings reframe preconception health as a two-parent story—mom supplies the mitochondria, but dad’s training status can still program how those mitochondria are used.

Untrained offspring inherit their father’s fitness

For the study, male mice completed 8 weeks of progressive endurance exercise training on a treadmill, a program that successfully enhanced their fitness. Compared to their untrained peers, they were leaner, had higher bone mineral density, superior endurance, greater energy expenditure, increased mitochondrial abundance, more fatigue-resistance type I muscle fibers, and (at the molecular level), increased expression of PGC-1α—the master metabolic regulator.

This better fitness and endurance showed up in their offspring. When male mice trained before conception, their offspring (who never trained) ran longer and farther (with lower post-exercise lactate levels) than mice from sedentary fathers, and their leg muscles looked like those of trained mice, with more slow-twitch/oxidative fibers, higher mitochondrial enzyme activity, and visibly more mitochondria.

They also mirrored their fathers’ body composition, with higher lean mass, lower fat mass, and improved bone mineral density compared to offspring of sedentary fathers. Metabolically, endurance-trained offspring exhibited higher oxygen consumption and burned more calories throughout the day.

Put on a high-fat diet, offspring of exercising fathers had better blood sugar control than those of sedentary fathers. Skeletal muscle was pinpointed as the main driver. Their muscles pulled in more glucose, stored more glycogen, showed stronger insulin signaling, and had more of the glucose transporter GLUT4.

Endurance capacity (B and C) and energy expenditure (D) in offspring of sedentary (blue) and endurance-trained (red) male mice.

PGC-1α’s crucial role

A complementary experiment showed the same effect without any treadmill training.

Fathers engineered to overexpress PGC-1α—the muscle’s “fitness switch”—passed on endurance benefits even when the transgene wasn’t inherited. Offspring that did inherit the transgene had a 31% higher peak VO₂ than controls, and even the wild-type littermates (whose fathers overexpressed PGC-1α but who lacked the gene themselves) showed a 14% increase in peak VO₂. Even when pups did not inherit the genetic tweak, they still showed the endurance and mitochondrial advantages, set up through a non-genetic mechanism.

Small sperm RNAs carry the message

Researchers isolated RNA from the sperm of exercising fathers and injected it into normal embryos. This alone recreated the full package of fitness and metabolic benefits in otherwise standard offspring, who had a leaner body composition, better endurance, and more mitochondria in their muscle.

The tiny RNAs worked by dialing down an embryonic brake called NCoR1, a corepressor that acts as a brake on PGC-1α-driven mitochondrial biogenesis. Exercise and elevated PGC-1α in fathers produced a shared signature of altered sperm microRNAs, several of which target NCoR1.

Injecting just one of those microRNAs (miR-148a-3p) into standard embryos reduced embryonic NCoR1 and was enough to produce adult mice with higher endurance and more oxidative muscle.

Body weight (B) and glucose tolerance (C and D) in offspring from sedentary (blue) and endurance-trained (red) male mice fed a high-fat diet.

­
Fitness-forward genes are conserved in humansTo test whether this pathway shows up in people, the researchers compared trained and untrained men. The trained group had markedly higher aerobic capacity (VO₂max of ~63 vs. ~53), confirming a meaningful endurance phenotype before looking at sperm biology.
They then profiled the same exercise-responsive sperm microRNAs highlighted in the mouse experiments. Of the ten miRNAs consistently elevated after paternal exercise or PGC-1α activation in mice, seven are conserved in humans and all of them were significantly higher in sperm from the trained men.
Is that amount of microRNA enough to matter at fertilization? Maybe. The study estimated ~830 vs. ~2,779 copies per sperm in sedentary vs. exercised males. Prior work suggests ~100 copies per cell can repress targets—so these amounts are plausibly active during the earliest embryonic stages.
In short: endurance training is associated with the same conserved sperm-miRNA pattern in humans and exercised mice, making it biologically plausible that a father’s training status before conception could influence early embryonic gene regulation (even though child outcomes weren’t measured in this study).

The importance of parental exercise

Unsurprisingly, most of the research on parental habits and childhood health has focused on the role of the mother before and during pregnancy—her body weight, what she eats and drinks, and other lifestyle habits she engages in or avoids. That’s especially true when it comes to exercise. The role of the father, however, is a bit more hazy.

For moms, randomized controlled studies show that exercise during pregnancy reduces the risk of pregnancy complications (macrosomia, abnormal vaginal delivery, C-section) and lowers the odds of gestational diabetes, hypertension, and preeclampsia—which pose short- and long-term health risks for mother and newborn.[1][2] There’s also possibly autonomic and neurodevelopmental advantages, for example, better language and cognitive development in children at age 2 and 5 if their mothers exercised regularly.[3]

For dads, human evidence is limited to molecular-level studies such as the one discussed today—we don’t have much information on long-term outcomes after paternal exercise, even though the mechanistic plausibility is there.

But we do know that fitness can be passed down. VO2 max trainability (how much one can improve their fitness via training) is estimated to have 47% heritability, and even endurance performance measures like lactate threshold show significant parent-offspring resemblance—highly trainable and fit parents are likely to have fitter, highly trainable kids.[4][5] Part of this is environmental, but part is also genetic. It’s not just fitness either—parents (particularly fathers) who are highly active have children who are more likely to be highly physically active throughout childhood and into adulthood. While this might reflect modeled lifestyle habits rather than inheritance per se, there’s likely a genetic component at play too.

New Report Lays Out the Full Scale of Environmental Damage Caused by Onshore Wind Turbines

Fresh insights into the ecological devastation caused by onshore wind turbines around the world are contained in a shocking new paper published last month by a group of ecologists in Nature. The paper is paywalled and has attracted little mainstream media interest, but it highlights research that illustrates that the effect of utility-scale wind energy production “can be far reaching and sometimes have large and unexpected consequences for biodiversity”. An annual figure of around one million bats are killed in the countries with the highest number of turbines, but harmful effects are seen in many other parts of the ecosystem. The number of top predators such as jaguars, jungle cats and golden jackals can be changed by turbines in tropical forest gaps leading to the “possibility for cascading effects” along similar latitudinal levels. 

In short, the science team notes that turbines can kill birds, bats and insects, change animal behaviour, physiology and demography and alter ecosystems. The installation of wind turbines invariably results in habitat degradation, but it is regions rich in biodiversity with minimal existing infrastructure that suffer the most. The authors state that wind facilities “are recognised as an important driver for losses and degradation of irreplaceable habitats that are important for conservation.” Such areas, of course, can be found in the windy highlands of Scotland. For City-dwelling eco zealots, it is a case of out of sight, out of mind. Net Zero is all about money and power – bats and eagles have neither.

The Nature paper is a wake-up call about the increasing damage that is being inflicted on natural habitats by wind turbines that are steadily increasing in size and destructive potential. It is a summary of the latest findings about the effect of turbines and it is not sanguine about the future. “Perhaps the greatest unknown in predicting future effects of wind power on biodiversity lies in the scope of the potential expansion of the technology and the cumulative consequences of this expansion for species and ecosystems”. A 2021 USA report on the potential pathways to Net Zero emissions is noted and this suggests using up to 13% of the land area for wind farms. The new Trump Administration is likely to put a stop to this madness which the scientists observe could have “dramatic consequences for biodiversity”.

The BP Deepwater Horizon accident is generally considered the worse US offshore oil spill. Estimates vary but it is thought to have led to the deaths of around 600,000 sea birds and the incident led to widespread condemnation by environmentalists that continues to this day. Slightly less publicity is given to the 500,000 bats killed onshore in the US by wind turbines every single year. In the UK, 30,000 is the estimated annual kill number, with Canada at 50,000 and 200,000 in Germany.

Many bird species are also at risk, with large raptors a conspicuous example. It is admitted that limited information is available on population-level consequences, but available evidence suggests the turbines could threaten certain species with local extinction, particularly those at risk with low reproduction rates. Possible population collapse has been predicted for cinereous and griffon vultures in Europe and the Eurasian skylark in Portugal. Other predictions suggest population declines for hoary bats in North America, lesser kestrel in France and black harriers in South Africa. Population declines have been reported in central Europe for animals with high-collision risk such as the noctule bat, while nearly 50% of bird species evaluated in one study in California were said to be subject to turbine-induced population decline. Meanwhile, the mortality of golden eagles at Altamont Pass Wind Resource in California is said to be so frequent that local populations are sustained by immigrants. Finally, the authors report that the globally endangered Egyptian vulture in Spain has a lower survival rate, population growth rate and size in the presence of wind facilities.

Who really cares? The UK Bat Conservation Trust states that climate change poses a “significant threat” to UK bat populations. “We need energy-efficient housing and renewable energy to help mitigate for climate change for the benefit of bats, people and the wider environment”, it adds. It is fair to say that similar understanding is not extended to developers encountering the presence of bats other than ‘Green’ entrepreneurs.

The giant turbines regularly sweep the countryside of insects, and the report notes that fatalities can be great enough to contribute substantially to the build-up of debris on blades. In fact, one of the report’s authors, Professor Christian Voigt, has stated in earlier work that it was necessary to evaluate if fatalities added to the decline of insect populations “and potentially the extinction of species”. In a 2022 paper, Voigt reported that turbines can change the nearby microclimate, while vibrational noise may reduce earthworm abundance with likely cascading effects on soil quality and vegetation.

Mass slaughter of bats and raptors is already known, but this new report casts fresh light on the cascading effects on the natural world of increasing numbers of giant wind turbines. That said, the report admits that biodiversity impacts have been documented for only a few small taxa, but the impacts are “not negligible”. Proponents of wind power often claim that wind energy’s impacts on biodiversity will be less than climate change, it is noted. The authors find this “plausible”, but the assumption is said to be “untested”.

Yet another untested assumption driving the destructive madness of Net Zero, others may conclude.

4 Broken Obamacare Promises

When they were trying to pass the Affordable Care Act, Obamacare, Bill Clinton talked to the Democrats. He told them you may not like it, but it’s the chance to get our foot in the door that will never be closed (my version of his words, but accurate as to his intent). In other words, we’ll work on it later to achieve what we really want, regardless of the initial outcome, just pass the damn thing.

Read this and judge for yourself if the promises came true and did Obama lie to the American public to sell it. Let’s not forget, if you like your plan, you can keep your plan. If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.

1. ‘Your Premiums Will Go Down’

In July 2012, when campaigning for reelection, Obama repeated his assertion that—once implemented—the Affordable Care Act would reduce prices. 

Running for his first term in 2008, then-Sen. Obama said he would sign a health care bill in his first term as president “that will cover every American and cut the cost of a typical family’s premium by up to $2,500 a year.”

In 2012, he spoke similarly about the law that had passed—with no Republican votes in Congress—but had not yet gone into effect. 

“You should know that once we have fully implemented, you’re going to be able to buy insurance through a pool so that you can get the same good rates as a group that if you’re an employee at a big company you can get right now, which means your premiums will go down,” Obama said, when speaking in Cincinnati campaigning for a second term. 

In 2013, when implementation of the Affordable Care Act began, the average premium paid by consumers in the individual market was $244 per month. By 2022, that cost had soared to $568 per month, an increase of 133%, noted a Heritage Foundation report from August 2024, “Key Health Care Trends: Nationally and in Each of the States.” 

“The average deductibles for bronze-level plans sold on the exchanges increased by 40 percent between 2014 and 2024,” the Heritage report explains. “For self-only coverage, the average deductible was $5,094 in 2014, but is $7,144 in 2024, while the average deductible for family coverage has increased from $10,278 in 2014 to $14,310 in 2024.”

In recent years, 15 states have obtained federal waivers from some Obamacare provisions, which enabled insurers in the waivered states to reduce premiums.

The per-capita average monthly cost of individual market coverage had more than doubled in 40 states. In Missouri, costs had risen by 213%; in Alabama, by 309%; and in West Virginia, up 323%, according to the August 2024 Heritage Foundation report.  

2. ‘Competition Where There Wasn’t Competition’

Obama asserted in October 2013 that the Affordable Care Act would create a more competitive insurance marketplace.

“What we’ve done is essentially create a competition where there wasn’t competition before,” Obama said. “We created these big group plans, and now insurers are really interested in getting your business. And so, insurers have created new health care plans with more choices to be made available through these marketplaces.” 

But two-thirds of states, or 34 states, and the District of Columbia, had fewer insurers offering exchange coverage in 2024 than a decade earlier, before the Affordable Care Act was implemented. 

On the slight upside, eight states had more insurers offering plans on the Healthcare.gov exchanges in 2024 than they had before the Obamacare law was passed, while eight others have the same number. 

For 2026, some 183 qualified health plans are available on the Obamacare exchanges, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services announced Wednesday. Of the 30 states using HealthCare.gov, 19 have more plans than the previous year, according to CMS.

That’s still substantially less than before Obamacare was implemented. In 2013, almost 400 insurers were offering coverage in individual markets at the state level before the ACA was implemented. Eight states had only one insurer providing insurance. 

In 2026, 95% of enrollees will have access to three or more qualified health plan issuers. That’s down marginally from 96% in 2025, but an improvement from 68% in 2020, according to CMS. Fewer than 1% of 2026 enrollees have only one available issuer on the exchanges. 

“Any potential benefits of competition were offset, or more than offset, by a subsidy design that really insulates enrollees from a lot of the cost, because the subsidies go up as premiums go up. That’s part of why you have seen the increase,” Ed Haislmaier, a senior research fellow with the DeVos Center for Human Flourishing at The Heritage Foundation, told The Daily Signal.

3. Not ‘One Dime to Our Deficits’

Obama said in September 2009, “I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits, either now or in the future.”

The initial score by the Congressional Budget Office in 2010 estimated the legislation would reduce the federal deficit. However, the cost of Medicaid expansion was higher than projected, as was the cost of subsidies, which was exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The expansion of the COVID-19 era subsidies were passed as part of the 2021 American Rescue Plan Act and extended as part of the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. The COVID-19 emergency formally ended 2-1/2 years ago.

The CBO found in 2024 that extending the COVID-era subsidies permanently would result in a $380 billion cost increase to taxpayers over the next 10 years.It would also likely mean 6.9 million individuals would be added to the Obamacare exchanges—receiving an average subsidy of $5,370 each. But of that 6.9 million, at least 3.5 million would be shifting from existing insurance plans such as employer plans, according CBO. 

Before the COVID-19 subsidies, Obamacare enrollment was stable. In 2019, 13.7 million individuals drew a subsidy. By just the first quarter of 2025, that reached 26.7 million—nearly double.

“Obamacare is not affordable, and has narrowed network plans to exclude certain doctors and hospitals,” Brian Blase, president of Paragon Health Institute, a health care think tank, told The Daily Signal. “The only people purchasing are for the most part getting giant subsidies. It’s good for the health insurance companies. There used to be a guaranteed customer base with the individual mandate, which was eliminated. But it’s still a heavily regulated market, which decreases competition, and they receive massive subsidies.”

4. ‘Savings’ From Medicaid Expansion

“The insurance reforms rest on everybody having access to coverage, and you also don’t do anything about the fact that taxpayers currently end up subsidizing the uninsured when they’re forced to go to the emergency room for care, to the tune of about a thousand bucks per family,” Obama said in March 2010. “You can’t get those savings if those people are still going to the emergency room.”  

Almost 20 million newly eligible able-bodied adults enrolled in Medicaid from 2013 to 2023. That’s compared with Medicaid enrollment for children that increased by just 2.5 million, and for the elderly that increased by 1.2 million over the same 10-year span. The number of disabled enrollees over that period declined by 400,000, the Heritage Foundation report from August 2024 says. 

Emergency room visits from the new Medicaid enrollees have increased, the Paragon Health Institute noted in a report last October. 

“As a result of expansion, existing Medicaid enrollees have had more challenges obtaining doctor appointments,” the Paragon report says. “According to a 2019 meta-analysis, prior to expansion, Medicaid enrollees were half as likely as those with private insurance to get appointments, while they were only one-third as likely after expansion—a decline by one-third.”

From 2013 to 2023, Medicaid enrollment, as well as enrollment in the Children’s Health Insurance Program, soared overall from 61.1 million to 85.4 million.

Medicaid enrollment more than doubled over those 10 years in Alaska, Virginia, Oregon, and Nevada.

There are some damning statistics below. Some people genuinely need help and will be in trouble. I hope that groups like Samaritan’s Purse will come to their rescue. They did so during Hurricane Helene when FJB refused to help Western Carolina, as it wasn’t his voting base. That was an evil move

Conversely, some grifters and illegals don’t deserve SNAP and will be either weeded out, sent home, or will learn to get a job. It might sound cold, but humans do better when they earn their way, rather than have it handed to them. When ‘Helping’ the Homeless Is Harmful

Look at who it is planning to loot; anyone could have guessed this one – BWBB

The Schumer shutdown is “mostly” over the left trying to give free stuff to the illegals. It is the same Santa Claus routine in trade for votes (the illegals are their future voter base). The shutdown could be over last week if he had agreed not to fund the illegals.

Here is a clip so that you can decide whether your hard-earned money should go to those who don’t need help, or are getting it illegally. YMMV.

Food stamps are set to be paused on Nov. 1 because of the government shutdown.

Some 42 million Americans will not receive benefits through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) until Congress approves new funding, according to federal officials, although some states have taken steps to intervene.

Congress made money available for SNAP for October before failing to reach a new government funding agreement, which resulted in the government shutting down on Oct. 1, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) said in a letter to regional and state SNAP officials.

There is not enough money to pay full SNAP benefits to the approximately 42 million SNAP recipients in November, the USDA says.

“Bottom line, the well has run dry,” the USDA said on Oct. 25.

“At this time, there will be no benefits issued November 01.”

Since 2010, the total percentage of the US population that is on food stamps has not fallen below 12 percent. 

Nationwide, the total percentage of the population receiving food stamps can vary significantly by state, and region. Measured state-by-state, we find that more than one in five residents of New Mexico receive food stamps. In Utah, on the other hand, fewer than one in twenty receive food stamps. 

There are sizeable differences by race and ethnicity as well. Although they comprise 58 percent of the US population, non-Hispanic whites account for only 36.5 percent of all SNAP recipients. Blacks comprise about 26 percent of SNAP recipients although blacks are only 12 percent of the US population. Asians comprise 3.3 percent of the food-stamp recipient population. Those who self-identify as Hispanic (of any race) comprise 16 percent of the recipient population. (Note: according to the Census Bureau data used here, “Hispanic” is classified as an ethnicity and not a race. Since fifty percent of Hispanics self-identify as “white,” self-identified whites actually comprise 71 percent of the population, not 58 percent. (Pew studies suggest that 58 percent of Hispanics self-identify as white.)

Immigration status can be a factor as well. According to the Census Bureau’s Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP), more than a third of immigrant-headed households receive food stamps or some other form of food subsidy such as WIC. Nearly half of households headed by illegal-immigrants receive food stamps. (This data is from the 2022 SIPP report.) The percentage for native-born households, on the other hand, is 25 percent. (Note: This is a household number, so is not comparable to the total percentage of individuals in the US population who receive food stamps.)

The real-life ways bad advice from AI bots is sending people to the ER with everything from anal pain to mini-strokes

Anal pain, really? I use AI quite a bit. I find that while ChatGPT is probably the most popular, I get the worst results, other than for coding. Even then, I don’t trust it. There are many options available, so choose your own. I use multiple, but stay away from this one

Here’s your butt story:

Consulting AI for medical advice can quite literally be a pain in the butt, as one millennial learned the hard way.

The unidentified man tried to crudely strangle a gruesome growth on his anus, becoming one of several victims of AI-powered health guidance gone terribly wrong in the process.

Many documented cases confirm that generative AI has provided harmful, incomplete or inaccurate health advice since becoming widely available in 2022.

“A lot of patients will come in, and they will challenge their [doctor] with some output that they have, a prompt that they gave to, let’s say, ChatGPT,” Dr. Darren Lebl, research service chief of spine surgery for the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, told The Post.

“The problem is that what they’re getting out of those AI programs is not necessarily a real, scientific recommendation with an actual publication behind it,” added Lebl, who has studied AI usage in medical diagnosis and treatment. “About a quarter of them were … made up.”

Does high protein hurt the heart?

By Dr. Philip Ovaida

As a heart surgeon, one of my favorite mantras is “hit your protein goal.” That’s because many of the patients who walk into my office see enormous metabolic improvements just by swapping dietary carbs for protein.

But maybe you’ve seen research talking about the unhealthiness of high-protein diets. Will getting rid of carbs increase your risk of a heart attack? Or will the amino acids in meat trigger cardiovascular disease?

From a purely scientific standpoint, probably not.

But I’ll go through the research so you can decide for yourself. 

What science says about protein and the heart

Let’s start with the studies sounding the alarm about getting ‘too much’ protein in your diet.

One posited that eating more than 22% of your calories from protein could raise cardiovascular and metabolic health risks.

Another found that “high-protein diets increase cardiovascular risk by activating macrophage mTOR to suppress mitophagy.” In other words, that high protein intake could overstimulate certain immune cells, leading to artery damage and higher cardiovascular risk.

Here’s a quick breakdown of their hypotheses:

  • Eating a large amount of protein in one sitting raises amino acid levels in your blood.
  • Those amino acids collect in artery plaque, or the fatty buildups that encourage atherosclerosis.
  • Inside the plaque, amino acids activate a signaling pathway in immune cells called macrophages (specifically called the mTOR pathway).
  • When this happens, types of white blood cells called macrophages stop clearing out damaged parts of cells.
  • These damaged cells die off, which makes artery plaque more unstable. This means it could rupture and cause heart attacks or strokes.

So researchers concluded eating more than 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight could be harmful to your heart. 

Now, before you start wondering if going vegan is your only option, I’d like to point out a few limitations.

  • Most studies don’t control for the type of protein consumed. After all, there’s a big difference between eating a grilled chicken breast and a 10-count chicken nugget meal from a fast food franchise. Food quality matters, especially with protein, although many studies neglect this or don’t define it explicitly in their results.
  • Many mechanistic studies use isolated amino acids such as leucine or protein powders to measure protein impacts. However, we know the body doesn’t process amino acids from a whole steak or lentils the same way it processes them from supplements. Leucine in these studies may not act the same way in whole, real foods, since fiber, fat, and other nutrients slow absorption and change digestive impacts.
  • Mice don’t develop heart disease the same way humans do, so what causes atherosclerosis in mice doesn’t always translate to people. Look back at that study hypothesizing a higher risk of atherosclerosis from high protein. That number was present in a cohort of mice, not people. 
  • Increased signaling in immune cells isn’t the same as a greater number of heart attacks or plaque buildup in the body. As one study found: “protein ingestion has a negligible impact on whole-body amino acid oxidation.” Biological reactions may not always translate to risk. 

For all these reasons, among many others, we lack concrete data to say high-protein diets are “bad” for the heart. High protein may actually be critical to those recovering from heart attacks or reclaiming metabolic health.

One study found that high-protein diets improve weight loss, reduce triglycerides, and improve HDL cholesterol, all of which are protective for the heart.

We also also know people lose muscle mass and bone density due to inactivity and inflammation after a heart attack. A higher protein intake can help maintain this lean body mass, which supports exercise tolerance and recovery moving forward. 

This complements yet another study: higher protein intake after a heart attack may improve long-term patient prognosis. According to their analysis, heart attack patients eating high-quality protein had a much lower 10-year cardiovascular risk score compared to patients eating +50% less protein per week.

Why does research say two different things? 

First, nutrition science is still quite young. It’s been less than 100 years since we isolated the first vitamin, after all. The science isn’t settled, and there’s still much to learn, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that we’re still exploring new biomechanisms.

We also have to look at differences in terms and study structure. There’s a big difference between studying metabolically unwell young people versus metabolically healthy older adults, for example.

And don’t forget that N = 1. One person’s response to protein won’t be the same as someone else’s, especially within unique age, sex, or health cohorts. 

But I can confidently say that the benefits of protein far outweigh any warning to the contrary, especially for those recovering from poor metabolic health.

What about all those other problems with protein?

Protein has become quite the target for misinformation. If you’re active on X, you likely know what I mean.

I can’t dispel all protein myths here, but I felt it was appropriate to cover a few topics. 

First: most people actually underconsume protein, not overconsume it. Americans have a mean protein intake of 16%, which is less than half the max range of even US food pyramid RDVs.

And no, high protein isn’t bad for the kidneys. If you live with liver and kidney problems, then yes, you may need to plan your meals. But this applies only to a very small portion of the population.

When healthy, resistance-trained adults consume high-protein diets (think 3x higher than recommended daily values), there is no evidence of harmful side effects on kidneys and renal function. You can find details of that in this study and this one.

So please: don’t believe for one second that increasing your protein intake will do more harm than good. If you’re looking to repair, restore, or protect your metabolic health, a high-protein diet will be an incredibly powerful tool.

So will too much protein hurt your heart?

No, not at all. Especially not as part of a metabolically healthy lifestyle.

And if you’re at high metabolic risk, it might be worthwhile to increase your macros. 

That means:

  • Eating more whole, real animal proteins. I recommend ruminant animals such as beef, venison, buffalo, and lamb, although chicken, turkey, and seafood are excellent choices. I talk through other options in my guide covering the proper way to set a protein goal.
  • More non-muscle proteins such as cheese, eggs, and milk. Despite what you may have heard, eating eggs won’t spike your LDL cholesterol and lead to heart disease. 
  • Supplementing when necessary with convenient protein options. Uncured, less processed options such as meat snacks may be beneficial. You could also opt for protein powders, although I’d recommend those without high quantities of lead.

Following a high-protein diet for better heart health

High-protein diets aren’t a danger to your heart health. For the vast majority of people, it’s one of the best lifestyle changes you could make. 

If you’re not sure how to get started, I’ve written quite a few guides. Learn more about using high-protein diets to support your heart health in the following resources:

Pattern Recognition – We’re Getting Dangerously Close To Trying To Play God

These 2 stories struck me as similar, despite being completely different. What they have in common is the leaps and bounds of technology into areas where humans have shown deficiencies. In theory, they are the same, given the title of this post.

Story One:

How CRISPR Is Poised to Rewrite the Story of Memory Loss

CRISPR, a powerful gene editing tool, is revolutionizing our understanding and treatment of memory loss, particularly in conditions like Alzheimer’s disease. This technology allows scientists to modify genes with unprecedented precision, opening new avenues for research and potential therapies.

## Understanding Alzheimer’s Disease

Alzheimer’s disease is a complex neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive memory loss and cognitive decline. It is associated with the accumulation of amyloid beta plaques and tau protein tangles in the brain, which disrupt normal neuronal function. Recent studies have highlighted the role of specific proteins and pathways in the disease’s progression, offering potential targets for intervention.

## CRISPR’s Role in Alzheimer’s Research

CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing has been instrumental in studying Alzheimer’s disease by allowing researchers to manipulate genes involved in the disease. For instance, scientists have used CRISPR to create neurons lacking tau protein, a key component of neurofibrillary tangles, and then reintroduce specific tau isoforms to study their effects. This approach has identified the 1N4R tau isoform as a critical driver of neuronal damage, providing a new target for future treatments.

## Targeting Memory Loss with CRISPR

Beyond Alzheimer’s, CRISPR is also being explored for its potential to erase or modify memories. Researchers at Peking University have successfully used CRISPR to remove fearful memories from rats, suggesting a possible application in treating conditions like PTSD. This breakthrough raises both hope and ethical questions about the manipulation of memories.

“We’ve made great progress, but plasmas are unstable, and we need to recreate the center of the sun on Earth,” Wright told Reuters.

What is the pattern? Look at the title. Every time in history that we try where we don’t understand the ramifications, either another problem is created or we mess things up (FUBAR).

The COVID-19 vaccine has shown us that we aren’t yet competent with gene editing. Introducing a spike protein in a human for a virus that 99% of the population survived was ill-advised. It caused more health problems than it cured.

We have deciphered the Genome equation, it doesn’t mean we have any idea how cutting out potentially defective DNA is going to affect the rest of the living organism (I’m hoping they at least do the lab rat tests this time before authorizing a cure they intended to force on everyone).

For the record, I’m for helping the memory impaired. Just use the right method

Next, how will we contain something that is the temperature of the core of the Sun? The Bikini Islands are still uninhabitable from the nuclear tests we conducted more than half a century ago.

I’m sure a reader will criticize my logic (I get that a lot at first until I’m right), but there are places we need not always go, at least until a proper structure to prevent harm is established.

For example, bad guys are already using Artificial Intelligence for terrorism and weapons to hack into sensitive places. The less moral have found a new way to ruin their lives with porn. That is what I mean by developing the proper boundaries to control the issues of the two stories. That alone is another pattern.

How AI Is Becoming Weak Link In Cybersecurity

We are not in the 23rd Century yet, when Star Trek took place. They had a Matter/Anti-Matter Warp Drive. Even that killed Captain Spock in the Kobayashi Maru.

As for me, the Crisper technology is scarier, as there is so much we don’t know about the human body and how it functions. Don’t get me wrong, I’m for curing diseases and helping people out, but in the big picture, we are in the infancy of this. I’m not even sure we should be going there

Patterns reveal themselves. One of the biggest is that people don’t learn from their past mistakes or the mistakes of others.

YMMV, but have a good think about it before you discard the logic of the pattern.

How much would you pay to go to the moon?

How much would you pay to go to the moon?

Nothing. It won’t happen for me in my lifetime. I don’t have enough left to jump on a starship for a jaunt to another planet, safely. The way we are planning a colony on Mars is a one-way trip. I kind of like my recliner now.

Oh, I used to brag that I could be the next Captain Kirk. That is me believing in fiction, though. I was as they say, young and dumb and full of cum back then. I was ready to slay dragons and save the damsel in distress. Age has cured that for me.

I watched the first step on the moon and later read the biographies of the people who developed the programs. It was one of the biggest crap shoots ever, that didn’t go horribly wrong. It wasn’t Star Trek; it was closer to a wagon train going to California for the gold rush, so we could beat the Soviets to the moon.

I also don’t wonder as much about what is out there. I’m pretty sure there aren’t any Romulans, or Klingons, or even Vulcans. We kind of know there aren’t little green men coming to take them to our leader.

I don’t even care about the money. Musk is spending his fortune on the aforementioned colony on Mars. Let him slay that dragon.

Breast Cancer Month Hypocrisy

I lost my Mom to breast cancer. She beat it twice and battled it for 3 decades. In what amounts to malpractice, she ultimately succumbed to it. I do not take it lightly. So before you get outraged and be a SJW Karen with your panties in a wad, read the following and see what should happen if you do more than wear a pink ribbon. There’s a ribbon for every cause, but taking action to cure it is the ultimate expression of support.

Original article and source start here.

Once again, it’s “Breast Cancer Awareness Month,” as we’re hit with pink ribbons and fundraising alerts from breast cancer groups.

Two organizations that solicit funds purportedly for fighting breast cancer are the Susan G. Komen Foundation and the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF).

Wouldn’t you assume that groups promoting breast cancer awareness want women to actually decrease the risk by having women know all the risk factors?

Yet the biggest promoters of Breast Cancer Awareness month either omit the abortion factor or actually deny it.

Typically, these groups list lower risk factors that line up with their pro-abortion stance. What good does it do to mention exercise or alcohol while refusing to go near what has been found in studies around the world — abortion.

It’s also absurd to list family history as a risk factor — which is true but not preventable — while refusing to discuss abortion which is preventable.

It sounds unbelievable that groups claiming to be working against breast cancer are actually promoting breast cancer by not telling young women the full truth. But that’s exactly the situation.

Breast Cancer Hypocrisy Month

The closest either group comes to the abortion issue is Komen, mentioning breastfeeding as part of a healthy life for lowering risk: “Breastfeed if you can. Women who breastfeed have a lower risk of breast cancer than women who don’t breastfeed, especially before menopause. The longer a woman breastfeeds in her lifetime, the lower her risk may be.”

Correct. But why omit the significant factor of abortion if you really want to educate people?

BCRF lists these factors: weight/diet/exercise, alcohol use, smoking, timing of pregnancy, breastfeeding, and hormone use. Under ‘timing of pregnancy,’ we read, “giving birth later (after 30) or not having children can both increase a person’s breast cancer risk.”  That’s as close as they get s to mentioning the drastic increase in risk after abortion. Yet they plead for donations: “Triple your impact for life-saving research during Breast Cancer Awareness Month!”

What’s the point of more research if they refuse to talk about the existing research?

Komen states: “Research clearly shows abortion (also called induced abortion) is not linked to an increased risk of breast cancer.”

That statement is false.

When Dr. Angela Lanfranchi, founder of the Breast Cancer Prevention Institute, attended medical school in the 1970s, women who got breast cancer were overwhelmingly older. As a breast surgeon, she saw younger women getting breast cancer and she became alarmed.

“I became concerned because I saw a lot of women in their 30s with breast cancer.” Lanfranchi shared with Human Life International. “None of them had a genetic reason… It was heartbreaking because all three had young children… so I started looking into risk factors.”

Research already showed that if you smoked and had a child, your risk of breast cancer increased 69%, but if you smoked and had no children, the risk increased 649%. What was it about having a child that protected women from getting breast cancer, Lanfranchi wanted to know.

In 2023, JAMA published a study of U.S. cancers from 2010 to 2019.  Women age 20-29 had a 5.3% increase in breast cancer and those 30-39 had a 19.4% increase in breast cancer. Shockingly, late stage, less curable breast cancer rate under age 40 has increased 3% per year over that time period. Young black women have almost five times the abortion rate as Caucasians and are suffering the greatest increases in breast cancer. These vulnerable women need early screening if their lives are to be saved. “

So the dramatic increase in breast cancer was noticed; what wasn’t cited was the causes that had already shown up in studies done since 1957.

In 1996, Dr. Joel Brind, endocrinologist and professor at Baruch College of the City University of NY, did a meta-analysis of all research on abortion and breast cancer and found confirmation.

Abortionists like Planned Parenthood emphasize the negatives of having a child, not the ramifications of abortion. The suppression of the truth is reinforced by the nation’s two largest breast cancer charities, leaving women in the dark about a growing disease by the very people who claim to be pro-woman.

The nation’s top abortion provider, Planned Parenthood, also promotes breast cancer awareness while denying the abortion connection. They use the month of October to fundraise, bragging that they offer breast exams while they profit from abortion.

How absurd is it to offer breast screening exams while simultaneously promoting breast cancer by selling abortion?

Time to Connect the Dots

BCPI’s Dr. Lanfranchi says the research from China is conclusive that breast cancer is the #1 risk factor for abortion.

China’s 1979 one-child policy led to an explosion of breast cancer. Forced and multiple abortions led to more screening for breast cancer as the rates and mortality increased greatly.

 In 2019, the Chinese developed a risk model for Chinese women by conducting epidemiological studies to find the greatest risks in China. One study found a 151% increase risk with 1-2 abortions and a 530% increase in risk with three or more abortions. If women were over 30 years old when they had their first child, they had a 258% increased risk than women who were <25 years old when they had their first child.   

Another study in 2022 found, “that when the rate of abortion rose, so did the risk of breast cancer. This association is biologically plausible as full-term pregnancy is a protective factor for breast cancer, and the breast enlarges due to the changing level of estrogen and progesterone during pregnancy. Immature breast cells are more likely to transform into breast cancer cells when the pregnancy is ended via abortion, which raises the risk of breast cancer.”

In fact, they found abortion was the greatest risk factor with a 613% increased risk for two or more abortions. About half of all U.S. women have repeat abortions.

Apparently, “Federal grant givers (NIH and NCI) are reluctant to publish data that might call into question the safety of abortion and hormonal contraception that is deemed essential to protect our planet from global warming and over-population,” Lanfranchi points out.  “It’s ironic that in a country not known for freedoms [China], there was seemingly no problem in publishing data that could be seen as a criticism of public policy on abortion but not in the land of the free and the brave.”

Despite the dishonesty of many scientists in the U.S., the world’s scientific literature confirms the Abortion/Breast Cancer Link. 

It’s disgusting that those profiting from abortion are using breast cancer to sell more abortions. The American Life league (ALL) cautions people against supporting these organizations.

Both earned negative ratings from the ALL’s Charity Watchlist, while the Breast Cancer Prevention Institute has a positive rating. ALL’s director Katie Xavios explained the most egregious concerns uncovered in researching these organizations.

“In 2024, a staggering 360,000 women across the nation are estimated to face the devastating diagnosis of breast cancer,” observed Brown. “The devaluation of human life as practiced by the Komen Foundation and the Breast Cancer Research Foundation compounds this tragedy. We urge donors who wish to support breast cancer prevention to consider charitable organizations that affirm and protect human life regardless of stage of development.”

“Life-minded donors seeking to support the fight against breast cancer will be pleased to discover that the Breast Cancer Prevention Institute (BCPI) upholds pro-life values and does not support anti-life organizations or agendas.”

The Science Behind Why Socializing Drains Introverts

To the extroverts, please read this. Introverts will read this and say this is me.

ByJenn Granneman

If you’ve ever felt exhausted from socializing, there’s a very real reason — it has to do with our unique wiring as introverts.

An extrovert and an introvert walk into a bar. It’s a Saturday night, so the place is buzzing with energy. A cover band croons away on stage while groups of people stand around, clutching drinks and nearly shouting to be heard.

The extrovert takes in the scene and feels a surge of excitement. He sees social opportunities everywhere — an attractive woman at the bar, friends to chat with, and the chance to cut loose and have fun. He walks straight up to his group of friends, gives one of them a hearty slap on the back, and orders a beer.

The introvert experiences the situation differently. He hangs back for a moment, surveying the scene and taking everything in. Then, he quietly joins his friends. He feels a bit overwhelmed, drowning in the noise and activity, but he tells himself to relax — this is supposed to be fun, after all.

And for a while, the introvert does have fun. But it doesn’t last.

Soon, the introvert starts to feel tired. Really tired. Not only does his body feel physically fatigued, but his mind becomes foggy and slow (and not just from the drinks). He desperately wants to head home — or at least step outside — where it’s quiet and calm, and he can be alone. He’s already getting an introvert hangover.

He glances over at the extrovert, who’s still chatting away with friends. The extrovert doesn’t show any signs of slowing down. In fact, he looks even more energized than when they arrived.

Sound familiar?

If you’ve ever felt exhausted from socializing, there’s a very real reason. Here’s the science behind why socializing can be draining for us “quiet ones” — it has to do with our unique wiring as introverts.

Socializing Can Be Draining for Everyone

First, let’s clear a few things up. The scenario above is just an example and a generalization. Not every extrovert spends their weekends partying, and sometimes, we introverts live it up, too. We all exhibit introverted behavior at times and extroverted behavior at others. According to the famed Carl Jung, the founder of analytical psychology, there’s no such thing as a “pure” introvert or extrovert. We all fall somewhere on the spectrum that defines introversion and extroversion.

Another point to consider: Socializing is actually draining for everyone eventually. A 2016 study from the University of Helsinki found that participants reported higher levels of fatigue three hours after socializing — whether they were introverts or extroverts. How tired they felt depended on several factors: how many people they’d met, the intensity of the interaction, and whether they had a specific goal in mind.

It makes sense that both introverts and extroverts would feel tired after socializing, as it expends energy. You have to talk, listen, and process what’s being said, among other things.

However, there are some very real differences between introverts and extroverts.

Introverts, Extroverts, and Rewards

These differences stem from how we respond to rewards. Rewards can be things like getting the phone number of an attractive stranger, getting promoted at work, or enjoying a delicious meal.

We all enjoy rewards, and we all desire them. But introverts and extroverts react differently to them.

To understand why socializing can quickly wear out introverts, I spoke with Colin DeYoung, a psychology professor at the University of Minnesota, who recently published a paper on introversion. I was conducting research for my book, The Secret Lives of Introverts. DeYoung, like other experts, believes that extroverts have a more activated dopamine system than introverts.

What Is Dopamine?

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that plays a crucial role in the body’s communication system, helping to control various functions by sending signals between the brain and the body. Often referred to as the “feel-good hormone,” it’s associated with positive emotions like bliss, euphoria, and concentration. Dopamine is vital for a wide range of bodily functions, from movement to sleep to mood regulation. When you experience pleasure — such as eating your favorite foods or during sex — your brain releases dopamine.

However, there can be a dark side to dopamine. It’s strongly linked to addiction. Some recreational drugs, for example, stimulate the release of dopamine and increase its levels in the brain, leading to dependency. That’s how powerful dopamine can be.

Social media platforms tap into the power of dopamine, giving you a boost of it when you watch a funny video or receive likes on your post. This is what keeps you scrolling, even when you know you have better things to do than stare at your phone. In this way, dopamine can keep us hooked on endless scrolling.

Extroverts Have a More Active Dopamine System

So, what does this have to do with socializing?

Because extroverts have a more active dopamine system, they get more excited by the possibility of reward. Dopamine energizes them to strike up a conversation with a stranger or stay at the bar until last call. Even though these activities can be tiring, dopamine reduces the cost of effort, much like getting a shot of espresso before running a race.

Dopamine even explains why extroverts might talk louder, faster, and with more confidence. These behaviors draw more attention to themselves and increase their chances of gaining social rewards.

Introverts have dopamine, too, but our dopamine system isn’t as “turned up” as that of an extrovert. We’re simply not as driven to pursue the same rewards that extroverts chase.

Having a less active dopamine system also means that introverts may find certain levels of stimulation — like loud noise and lots of activity — to be overwhelming, annoying, and exhausting. This explains why the introvert in the bar scenario was ready to leave after a while.

The Introvert’s Superpower

Introverts don’t seek rewards to the same degree that extroverts do. Is this a bad thing? In my opinion, no. It’s actually the introvert’s superpower.

We all know that one friend who partied too hard and paid the price, or the workaholic who compromised her health and relationships. These are people who chased rewards — hard.

Instead of seeking external validation, introverts tend to turn inward. They might research topics simply for the joy of learning something new. In their careers, they seek a calling that’s more than just a paycheck. They desire depth and intimacy in their relationships — a connection that is mind-to-mind and heart-to-heart — rather than an abundance of casual acquaintances.

I’m not suggesting that all extroverts are shallow and all introverts are deep. That’s simply not true. Sometimes extroverts pursue quiet, intrinsically rewarding activities; sometimes introverts seek status and other external rewards. A healthy, successful life for anyone should include a mix of both.

When writing my book, I asked introverts to share what motivates and energizes them. They all mentioned low-key activities, like a solo shopping trip, a meaningful conversation with a friend, finishing a good book, or expressing themselves through art. If it weren’t for the introvert’s less active dopamine system, they might not engage in these activities as much. The introvert’s way isn’t about chasing rewards but rather about seeking meaning.

Using Rat Poison to Escape Paying Child Support

Posted on by Baron Bodissey

A young “German” is on trial in Lower Bavaria for attempting to murder his 3-year-old daughter with rat poison in order to avoid paying child support for her. The misguided youth accused of the crime was born in Afghanistan, and later made his way to Europe to enrich Germany with his vibrant diversity.

The catechism taught to Westerners about third-world immigrants asserts that the new arrivals may wear outlandish costumes and observe quaint customs, but underneath they are just like us. Stories like this one should put paid to such notions once and for all: they are fundamentally different from native Europeans and people of European descent.

AOTW

Foist, we have this guy: Defiant Venezuelan Dictator Maduro Threatens the US, Claims He Has 5,000 Anti-Aircraft Missiles to Fight. Ask Yamamoto if it’s a good idea to attack the USA.

Next, Rosie O’Donnell, the deranged leftist who used to be a comedian, recently called for an economic blackout in the United States from her new home in Ireland. It was an obvious attempt to hurt the economy to hurt Trump politically.

She did it all in post on her Instagram account and she got more than she bargained for because she was roasted in the comments.

Most of the people who pushed back on her noted the fact that average people would be hurt by her plan the most. Link to where she gets trashed. She’s made AOTW before, so she can’t win every week. I’ll leave her at asswipe.

Finality, there’s this week’s winner, thank you very little FJB:

“Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson argues for a race-based redistricting.” This was the Supreme Court. They had a hearing. Well, let me just read this. “Liberal Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson on Wednesday”—that would have been about a week ago from when this podcast is up—“compared efforts to draw congressional districts along racial lines, compared it to the way disabled people were granted easier access to buildings after the Americans with Disabilities Act became law.” That’s quoting her.

“‘The idea of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act is that we are responding to current-day manifestations of past and present decisions that disadvantage minorities and make it so that they don’t have equal access to the voting system. Right?’ Jackson said as she questioned a lawyer representing Louisiana voters who argued that the court-ordered creation of a second majority-black district in the state violated the 14th Amendment by prioritizing racial composition in its boundaries.

Since she doesn’t even know that Blacks aren’t disabled, or what a woman is, the most unqualified person on the SCOTUS is the Asshole of the week

More:

So, the whole idea of DEI is frozen in amber. It’s stale. It doesn’t adapt to change. There’s other problems with it, but it doesn’t show that class and race are no longer identical. And that you’ve got all these people who are claiming that they’re completely disabled or disadvantaged when … I was looking down at my phone because in the four biggest cities, I think in the United States: New York was Eric Adams was mayor—black. Los Angeles, Karen Bass—black; Chicago, Democratic Brandon Johnson—black; and then, Philadelphia, Cherelle Parker—black. And I could go down to San Diego, Dallas, you name it. And the majority of the biggest cities in the country are black mayors.

Rethinking What “Wealth” Really Means in Retirement

For most of our working lives, wealth is defined in numbers. We measure it in bank balances, investment returns, property values, and retirement account statements. It’s the sum of decades of hard work and careful planning — a financial safety net meant to secure our later years. But once you actually reach retirement, something shifts. The meaning of “wealth” starts to evolve. It becomes less about how much you have, and more about how deeply you live.

When you no longer have to chase paychecks or promotions, the things that once defined success lose their urgency. The focus moves from accumulation to appreciation — from “How much do I have?” to “What truly matters now?”

Time Becomes the Ultimate Currency

In retirement, time is the one asset you can finally spend freely. It’s the resource you once traded away for income, deadlines, and career goals. Now it’s yours again. How you choose to invest it — in travel, family, faith, or personal passions — says far more about your wealth than any number on a statement.

There’s something profoundly freeing about waking up without an alarm clock or a to-do list set by someone else. That sense of control over your time is a form of wealth that many people don’t recognize until they experience it.

Relationships Over Returns

While financial comfort is essential for peace of mind, studies repeatedly show that social connections have a greater impact on longevity and happiness than income or assets. True wealth in retirement often comes from nurturing the relationships that bring meaning to your life — whether it’s time with a spouse, deepening bonds with friends, or creating memories with grandchildren.

Some retirees even use their newfound freedom to rebuild old relationships that fell to the wayside during busy working years. Picking up the phone, writing a letter, or visiting an old friend can enrich your life in ways no financial investment ever could.

Health as the Foundation of Prosperity

Ask anyone facing health challenges, and they’ll tell you: without well-being, wealth doesn’t mean much. Good health allows you to enjoy the fruits of your labor — the travels, the hobbies, the simple pleasures. Maintaining physical strength, mental clarity, and emotional balance becomes a daily investment in your quality of life.

That might mean spending a little extra on nutritious food, gym memberships, or preventive care — not as expenses, but as deposits into your most important asset. A strong body and mind are what allow you to truly experience the richness of this chapter.

Purpose Is the New Paycheck

Many retirees struggle at first with the sudden loss of structure that work once provided. But retirement offers a chance to redefine purpose on your own terms. Maybe that means mentoring young people, volunteering, creating art, or building something new. Purpose fuels vitality and joy — and often leads to the most rewarding kind of “profit”: fulfillment.

You don’t need to earn a salary to feel valuable. Sometimes the wealthiest retirees are the ones who give the most — of their time, wisdom, and compassion.

Gratitude Turns Enough Into Abundance

Gratitude has a way of reframing everything. When you look at what you already have — health, freedom, family, faith, or the simple beauty of a quiet morning — life feels abundant, no matter what your portfolio says.

True wealth isn’t measured by accumulation but by appreciation. It’s realizing that every sunrise, every conversation, every moment of laughter is part of your return on investment for a life well-lived.

In the end, rethinking wealth isn’t about abandoning money — it’s about putting it in its rightful place. Financial security matters, but it’s just one piece of a much larger picture. Real wealth is health, time, love, peace, and purpose.

That’s the kind of wealth that doesn’t fade with the markets — and the kind that only grows richer with age.
