THOR HALVORSSEN: Look closely: Delcy Rodríguez, the unelected vice president and the official who oversees El Helicoide, the largest torture center in the Western Hemisphere, is sworn in by her brother, Jorge Rodríguez, the Rasputin of the regime.

HARMEET DHILLON: Rachel, we have questions.

His name is James Zimmerman

SAMA HOOLE: Dr. Joseph Goldberger figured it out in 1915. It wasn't infectious. It wasn't genetics. It was the corn-based diet that poor Southerners had been forced into after the Civil War.

American South, 1900-1940. Mysterious disease killing poor Southerners by the thousands. Skin lesions, dementia, diarrhea, death.

They called it pellagra. Nobody knew the cause. Some thought it was infectious. Others blamed bad sanitation. It ravaged poor white and Black communities alike. Dr. Joseph Goldberger figured it out in 1915. It wasn't infectious. It wasn't genetics. It was diet. Specifically, it was the corn-based diet that poor Southerners had been forced into after the Civil War. The pre-war South, for all its evils, had more dietary diversity. Even enslaved people typically received salt pork, occasionally fish, some dairy. Poor whites ate more varied diets with access to hunting and fishing. Post-war poverty meant survival on the cheapest calories available: corn. Cornmeal, corn grits, corn bread, hominy. Three meals a day, seven days a week. Some molasses and fatback if you were lucky. Minimal meat, minimal dairy, minimal vegetables. Corn lacks niacin in bioavailable form. Without niacin, you get pellagra. Traditional Native American preparation methods used alkali processing (nixtamalization) which makes the niacin available. The Southern poor were just boiling or baking corn without this treatment. The disease killed 100,000 people between 1900 and 1940. The solution was known: add meat, eggs, milk, or properly processed corn to the diet. But the Southern poor couldn't afford it. The irony is that pellagra was rare in the South before the Civil War despite the poverty. Why? Because even minimal animal protein prevents it. The post-war corn dependency was so complete that people weren't getting even that minimal amount. Goldberger proved this by triggering pellagra in prison volunteers by feeding them exclusively corn-based diets, then curing them by adding meat. The experiment was brutal but definitive. The disease vanished in the 1940s not because of medicine but because economic conditions improved and people could afford to eat something besides corn. As soon as the Southern poor got access to animal protein again, pellagra disappeared. One hundred thousand people died because they were trapped on a corn-based diet. Not by choice. By poverty. The plant food couldn't sustain them. The moment they could afford meat, they stopped dying.

EAGLE WINGS: I thought in 1962, the United States Supreme Court made a landmark decision in Engel v. Vitale, effectively removing official prayer from public schools. Why is Islam given special privileges?

SAMA HOOLE: Catholic fasting rules prohibited meat on certain days. Fridays, Lent, Advent, Ember Days. By medieval period, this meant avoiding meat 100-150 days per year.

Catholic fasting rules prohibited meat on certain days. Fridays, Lent, Advent, Ember Days. By medieval period, this meant avoiding meat 100-150 days per year. The monks noticed a problem: fasting was making them weaker. Hard to copy manuscripts when you're malnourished. Hard to farm when you've lost muscle mass. The work still needed doing. The solution was theological creativity. Meat was prohibited. But were eggs meat? They come from chickens, which are animals. After lengthy debate, theologians concluded eggs were "liquid flesh" and therefore not technically meat. Dairy presented similar questions. Milk comes from animals. Is it meat? More debate. Ultimate conclusion: dairy is "white meat" which is different from "red meat" so it's allowed during fasts. Butter was debated extensively. It's made from cream, which is milk, which comes from cows. But it's processed. Is it still "meat"? The final ruling: butter is permissible during fasts in moderation. The monks interpreted "moderation" generously. Medieval monastic dietary records survive. During Lent, when meat was completely forbidden, the monks consumed: - 4-6 eggs per person daily - Unlimited butter on bread - Cheese with every meal - Cream in soups and drinks - Fish (explicitly allowed) Their caloric intake during "fasting" was 2,500-3,000 calories daily, mostly from animal products. Some monasteries developed the "fish-beaver loophole." Beavers swim, therefore they're fish, therefore beaver is allowed during fasts. They ate beaver regularly during Lent. The butter consumption during fasts was so high that special dispensations were required. Some monasteries paid annual fees to the Church for permission to use butter during Lent. The "butter towers" in some European cathedrals were funded by these fees. The theological acrobatics existed because the monks learned through experience: you can't maintain health and work capacity without animal protein and fat. The fasting rules that eliminated meat made them weak. The butter, eggs, and cream kept them functional. The average monk outlived contemporary peasants by 10-15 years despite same living conditions. The difference was that during 150 "fasting" days annually, monks ate butter and eggs while peasants ate bread. The Church stumbled into optimal nutrition through theological loopholes. They banned red meat but allowed everything else that mattered. The monks were healthier during "fasts" than peasants were during feasts. Because butter, cream, and eggs are complete nutrition regardless of what you call them.

TONY SERUGA: “Seditious Six” wanted Delta Force to refuse to do the Maduro raid, thus protecting not only the Democratic Party's 'cash cow', but the entire Deep State's very existence.

EM BURLINGAME: There is nothing on this earth of greater wealth than this. Absolutely no other form of wealth is even real. Only this is true wealth. The wealth of a family, of a community, the true wealth of an entire people

🔴 LIVE: Arizona State Legislature Holds Public Hearing on 2020 Election. Election Integrity Hearing With Select Members of Arizona's Legislature


7 hours of examination.  

Jan Bryant is a real American hero.  

Elections were held in the United States on November 3, 2020. The Democratic Party's nominee, former vice president Joe Biden, defeated incumbent Republican president Donald Trump in the presidential election.

Monday, November 30, 2020: Members of President Donald Trump's legal team have scheduled a public hearing with select members of Arizona's legislature to gather and examine any evidence of election irregularities and fraud in the state.

HOLD ON TO YOUR HATS: Maduro allows himself to be ‘captured’ and spills the beans on how Venezuela helped the US Democrats steal the 2020 election… Then Trump will pardon him and his wife and go after the Democrats. 2026 will be lit yall

Jan Bryanta Maricopa County election worker, is a real American hero.  Emulate her.  Do as she does, do as she did. 

Grok explains that, 

The two speakers in this cross-examination clip from the November 30, 2020 Arizona election integrity hearing are witness Jan Bryant (a Maricopa County election worker) and Arizona State Representative Mark Finchem (the primary questioner in the exchange).

Runbeck.  ballots that came in from military and overseas.

00:00  So there were trucks that showed up on the 3rd and then the 4th, and then the 5th, and how long did that go on, how many days . . . 

Well, I wasn't there the  whole last week . . .

For as long as you can recall how many days?

00:15. My last day was the 10th, and they were still coming in [trucks] and they were coming from a company called Runbeck that does the high speed scanning and printing of duplications and I think the military ballots . . . I'm getting out of my comfort level here talking about this. I don't know what they're doing, but those ballots were coming in from a high speed scanning company called Runbeck that . . . apparently, you haven't heard of Runbeck . . . .   

No, I've heard of Runbeck ma'am but what I'm trying to figure out is whether they printed them or they scanned them and if they scanned them off-site, to what purpose?

I can't tell you that.

Because it wasn't that your job to scan them?  I mean not your job, but 

Yeah, no all the high-speed scanning happens at Runbeck, so those ballots go to Runbeck.  As far as I know, there were no observers there.  I don't know.  I never got called to work at Runbeck.  That's all I can tell you.

Okay, with all due respect, Mr. Cook, now we've opened up a whole new can of worms.

And again I don't know enough about it to be the witness.

No, that's fine your observation is useful here.  So what you're telling me . . . I'm going to play this back to you a second.  The scanning was wasn't actually done on-site at a Maricopa County structure.  It was done some place else. 

. . . where they're very high speed scanners, yeah.

Well, right now I really don't care what the speed is.  I want to know were they Dominion scanners?

No, no, I don't think it has anything to do with Dominion.

So I'm trying to understand, what was the purpose of scanning them in advance of them being tabulated on the Dominion equipment?

They were duplications, the ballots that wouldn't read through the tabulation machines.  They were ballots that came in from military and overseas, but there were more ballots than that.  So I don't know where the rest of them were coming from because they kept bringing trays of them in.  So I don't know where they were coming from. That's a question for the County Employees to explain to you where are those ballots came from . . .

BREAKING - Communist agitator and leader of “The People’s Forum,” Manolo De Los Santos, who has received $20 million from CCP affiliated Marxist billionaire Roy Singham, has been identified as the leader of yesterday’s “protest” to free Maduro in NYC.

$20 million?  Wouldn't his bank flag that amount of deposit, direct deposit?   

Nick Shirley has really launched an army of young citizen journalists.  But I'll betcha that the fraud train keeps rolling.

J. MICHAEL WALLER: Solid, sharp explanation of why Greenland is becoming more and more vital to US defense and security, and possible solutions. It has nothing to do with mining.

The most honest explanation for Greenland’s immediate strategic relevance has little to do with critical minerals or Arctic trade routes. Yes, Greenland has mineral deposits. But they are largely located in brutal environments that are politically and economically difficult to exploit. Kvanefjeld — the flagship rare earth project most often cited — illustrates the problem: rare earths are tightly entangled with uranium, making the project environmentally controversial, politically toxic locally, and expensive to permit and finance. Russia derives ~20% of its GDP from Arctic activity because it has to. The United States does not. We have cheaper, more accessible resource bases that dominate on cost and reliability. Greenland is not a decisive solution to US resource security. Arctic trade routes are similarly overstated. Yes, sea ice is melting, and traffic is increasing, but today that traffic overwhelmingly serves one purpose: moving Russian hydrocarbons and minerals to market (mostly China). The Northern Sea Route remains constrained by seasonal variability, insurance risk, limited SAR infra, weak comms, and dependence on icebreakers. For most container shipping, speed is not the binding constraint anyway. Ships deliberately travel slowly to conserve fuel and often wait days for port access on arrival. On many major routes — Rotterdam to Hong Kong, for example — Suez remains faster, cheaper, and more predictable than any Arctic alternative. The Arctic is becoming usable, but it will not reshape global trade anytime soon. China’s interest in Greenland over the past decade —airport financing, port proposals, mining projects, etc. — reflects this reality. These efforts were not about immediate economic returns, but long-term alignment and leverage. To Denmark’s credit, many of these initiatives were blocked or replaced with state funding (with the prodding of the US & EXIM). That response highlights the real strategic issue: who Greenland aligns with, not what it extracts. Denmark has increased financial support, but this hasn't stopped a growing independence movement. From a US defense perspective, the core concern is the Arctic as a strike vector toward CONUS. Pituffik Base already plays a central role in early warning/missile defense. We could see that extend to maritime monitoring of the North Atlantic (if it isn't already). But, critically, that mission does not require Greenland to become a US state. If the risk is that an independent Greenland might be pulled into alignment with unfriendly powers, the cleaner approach is not annexation but a Compact of Free Association — modeled on US agreements with the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, and Palau. Under COFA, sovereign states receive US funding, defense guarantees, and market access, while granting basing rights and strategic alignment. Applied to Greenland, this would allow them legal independence from Denmark and let them achieve a domestic political victory, while also deepening ties to the United States — all without the political, legal, or cultural costs of statehood. And those costs are not trivial. Greenland faces real social challenges — public health, economic dependency, limited administrative capacity— that would become US domestic issues overnight if Greenland were a state. Quietly but realistically, this is not something our political system is well-equipped or particularly eager to absorb. Alignment is far easier than integration. A good deal, as they say. Finally, Greenland matters in the context of Arctic seabed claims. In 2007, Russia’s decision to plant a flag on the seafloor at the North Pole was symbolic, but not meaningless. Control and alignment influence future legal claims over extended continental shelves, vast undersea resources, and maritime rights. These are slow, technical, legal contests, but they are precisely where long-term strategic positioning matters. Maybe not today, but in 50 years. In short, I think Greenland is uniquely important for America. Just not for the reasons I hear most people repeat. The case is about security, alignment, and law — not minerals or trade routes. At least not yet.

TFP, these f****** people, ultimately at the end of the day that's who we're talking about


BANNON'S WAR ROOM: The book that Zohran Mamdani put his hand on yesterday calls for war 117 times as well as the beating, stoning, and subjugation of women.

WALTER CURT: NGOs take federal money. Those NGOs spin up LLCs they fully own. Those LLCs then donate directly into political campaigns. A 501(c)(3) can’t donate to campaigns, everyone knows that, but a 501(c)(3) can own unlimited LLCs. Those LLCs are “disregarded entities”, tax-exempt, 'mission-aligned', and free to donate.

DARTH POWELL: It was all immigrants overpaying for houses using taxpayer provided welfare.

MILA JOY: Xi went to meet with Maduro today to discuss joining forces, then Trump captures Maduro the same day. Savage.

LET'S CALL THIS AN UPDATE:

And then this went down.
