Charlie Kirk - We have reached the beginning of June.
Any “celebration” that includes half-naked men whipping each other in the streets, in front of kids, is morally repugnant and nothing more than an excuse to normalize putting creepy sex fetishes on public display.This is wrong and should stop.
Most people can accept that two adults have freedom in the privacy of their own home.

- But Pride has become a public coercion campaign forcing the rest of us, even children, into celebrating alongside and eventually participating with the Alphabet Mafia under threat of being found guilty of “hate.”
- It’s cultural tyranny.
No more.
It’s well past time we prioritize common decency, good public behavior, and the innocence of children again.
Let’s make June great again.

“The rejections keep coming,” says Bryce...
“These rejections don’t fit the narrative that’s relentlessly promoted by climate activists and their myriad allies in the legacy media about ‘green’ energy,” says Bryce. “But the numbers are real, the numbers are growing, and they provide irrefutable evidence that land-use conflicts are the binding constraint on the growth of alt-energy.”

Daily Mail headline: Daughter of Boulder terror suspect was award-winning student hoping for medical career... now she's being deported - Pamela Geller
They never wrote a kind word about my colleagues or me.
On the contrary, they smeared, defamed and murdered our reputations because we spoke candidly about the jihad doctrine.
From @DailyMail :
Free speech means I must defend this vile, disgusting woman from the marginally more repulsive people who want to kill her
"Pamela Geller is a revolting human being."

- While the West obsesses about cutting CO₂ China built 2 new coal-fired power plants every week in 2024
- 85% of 21st-century CO₂ will come from the developing world, like China, India, and Africa
Climate policy is not mostly about cutting even more in the West, but innovating

Some people say they don't want to drink before bed
so you don't have to get up at night to go to the bathroom
I asked my cardiologist why do people (especially old people) pee so much at night.
His answer was: When you stand or sit,
the force of gravity holds water in your lower body.
This is why legs can swell.
When you lie down, your lower body seeks balance with the kidneys.
So the kidneys remove the water along with the trash because then it's easier.
Water is essential to remove waste from your body.
I asked the cardiologist when is the best time to drink water.

I asked the cardiologist when is the best time to drink water.
He answered me:
Drinking water at well defined times maximizes efficiency in the body.
- 2 glasses of water right after waking up activates internal organs.
- 1 glass of water 30 minutes before each meal improves digestion.
- 1 glass of water before taking a bath (or shower) lowers blood pressure.
- 1 glass of water before going to bed, prevents stroke or heart attack.
Drink water before bed, avoid leg cramps during the night....Read all!

Tulsi Gabbard Declassifies Biden-Era Doc: This Is How They Labeled Americans Who Opposed COVID Mandates
Tulsi Gabbard Declassifies Biden-Era Doc: This Is How They Labeled Americans Who Opposed COVID Mandates:
You may not have noticed it, but last Wednesday, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard put online two reports that demonstrated the lengths the past administration would go to label those who didn’t go along with their policies as not just problematic but threats.
Gabbard posted the documents to her X account after journalist Michael Shellenberger did a deeper dive into the documents: “The idea that the Biden administration viewed millions of Americans as a terrorist threat sounds like a conspiracy theory, but it’s not. Newly declassified documents show that in December 2021, the FBI and DHS labeled opponents of Covid mandates ‘Domestic Violent Extremists,'” he wrote.
