White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller asks why childhood cancer is so much more common in developed countries, calling it a “disease of civilization.”
"There's no other primate in the world where pediatric cancer is commonplace."
"Only in humans."
"Why is that?"
"And what's fascinating, and this is something that's not disputed, is that they have vastly lower rates of pediatric cancer in the developing world than the developed world."
"It is a disease of civilization."
"And they find that when someone moves from the developing world to the developed world, within one generation, so their children, they have the exact same cancer rates as the existing population in the United States or other Western countries."
"So what is happening in our environment, in our food supply, in our lives, and in our medical protocols that is causing us to be so sick?"

The OSS is back.
Built by some of WWII’s most visionary minds, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) carried American resolve into the hardest places and against the most determined enemies. It embodied the determination of Americans who believed they could achieve the impossible.
Today, after 81 years, the OSS returns.
Our operators deserve a voice equal to the burden placed upon their shoulders. @ASWAndersonSOF advocated for a Secretariat for Special Operations that operates in both name and function, setting the pace, driving coordination, and ensuring SOF has the resources needed.
This redesignation strengthens SOF representation within @DeptofWar and reaffirms America’s commitment to the forces entrusted with the Nation’s most demanding missions.

Durham, under oath, confirmed that the FBI informant Stefan Halper lied to the FBI in coordination with Christopher Steele in order to obtain surveillance on the Trump administration via the Page FISA.
Yet @Jim_Jordan @JudiciaryGOP didn't subpoena Halper and/or his documents.
When you make a deal with the Left, this is the result... and BTW, how the heck does Hunter rate for an award? @Republicans @DelawareGOP
🚨 You can’t make this up!
Joe and Jill Biden showed up in Dublin to watch HUNTER BIDEN receive an award for "public discourse."
It ended in total CHAOS as angry protesters pelted them with milk cartons and cops had to intervene.
A complete and total global embarrassment!

Listen up Delaware, this idea of Republicans acting like Democrats is a national issue. The First State must break this trend! @DelawareGOP

As noted by Russian President Putin, allowing hedge funds, financial interests and inorganic market forces to set the prices of energy disconnects oil and gas from the economic principle of supply and demand.
Storytelling is king.
We're in a new era of communication, and only one side seems to be living in it. The old guard consultant class is about to be relegated to the dustbin of history.
If you think that high prices lost the election for the right, you don't understand marketing. Humans have no problem paying a premium for a good quality brand. Notice the word "brand", not "product". Are Nikes better than New Balance? Nope. But the brand is better. And notice what happened when they tinkered with the brand and screwed their core narrative? Nike stock fell through the basement. Did the product change? Nope. The brand did.
It's not the product, it's the brand. Results don't sell the product, the storytelling does. Will these newly-elected commies lower prices? Of course not. Are they gonna get you free healthcare? No, your insurance is gonna get even worse, just like it did the last time they tried socialized medicine. They're not going to do anything they've sold you, but...like Saul Goodman said: if you're committed enough, you can make any story work.
The committed storytelling of a couple insane podcasters was enough to fracture an entire political coalition from their own side in less than 2 years...they have zero power, zero credibility, they've never actually governed anything nor produced any results, but...they're good storytellers, and that's all that matters. Are they telling a good story? No, it's atrocious, but they're telling their atrocious story effectively and compellingly.
It is 100% true that everything's too damn expensive, and we all know that inflated prices are always sticky. Does anyone know that it's entirely the result of shutting down the global economy over the flu and (both naive republicans and democrats) printing infinity dollars for several years? Nope...because nobody has effectively told that story, and it's an unsexy story to tell. "Free stuff!" is a VERY easy story to tell, and when everyone's gotta take out a second mortgage just to pay their insurance premiums, "free healthcare" is an unbeatable story. It doesn't matter that "free healthcare" doesn't exist and socialized medicine is a terrible product...it's not the product, it's the brand. And "FREE!" is a great brand.
You can't get mad at people for having the financial literacy of a 9 year old. I mean, you can, but they outnumber you a million to one, so it's not going to be productive. You need to figure out how to make an unsexy story sexy, or else the "free stuff!" crowd is going to eat your lunch every time. If you give people a choice between earning a six pack on a treadmill or taking Ozempic, they're gonna choose Ozempic...they don't care about the side effects. If you give people a choice between fiscal discipline or free stuff...guess what they'll pick? They don't care about the side effects.
With projected growth of 5%, the economy right now is stronger than it's been in generations. Is that the story you hear? Nope. Is that the vibe you feel? Absolutely not, especially when every time you fill up your gas tank, it feels like a diesel enema.
It's not the product, it's the brand. A great product can fall into oblivion with bad messaging...a single bad review from one effective storyteller can tank a restaurant. The "influencer economy" is lucrative for a reason; everybody inherently understands the importance of effective storytelling...except the right. Zohran Mamdani gets it...he has an army of influencers on staff. In a perfect metaphor of this transitional phase of old guard vs new wave political messaging, Zohran nuked the Vice President into oblivion with maybe the biggest ratio in the history of the internet. By simply posting the subway assistant meme, Mamdani got 2 MILLION likes, quoting a post from the VP that had only 10K likes. If you're reading that sentence thinking "this is fucking ridiculous, you're talking about social media likes as political analysis now?"...you are the problem.
Yes, this stuff matters. Rizz matters. The President did a masterful job of this kind of retail politics in his historic 2024 campaign...you can be angry that this is what politics has been reduced to, but you can either adapt or die.
"No the problem is, you didn't deliver enough for the American people!" Are you a moron? Since when does anybody care about that? What have democrats delivered for Californians in the last 20 years? Unmitigated wildfires, homeless drug zombies everywhere, roads that look like Fallujah in 2004...people don't care about results. They think they care about results. That want you to believe they care about results, just as Nike wants you to believe their shoes are better than New Balance...but at the end of the day, all people really care about is the swoosh.
Adapt or die.

When a Muslim Brotherhood member wins a Senate race, that’s NOT DEMOCRACY; that’s USEFUL IDIOTS hating their own country. When the mullahs in Iran took over, socialists helped them, and later, the Islamists killed them all. This is the most dangerous moment for Western civilization. GOD BLESS AMERICA.
U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed is a dark chapter in this great nation’s history.
And as the Bible warns:
“For whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” — Galatians 6:7 (KJV)
Be careful what you plant in the name of democracy. You may not enjoy the harvest.
The $10T+ of incoming foreign investment and America's re-industrialization is just in the first inning. Here comes double digit GDP prints in 2027. @Republicans

This is unacceptable and the FBI must investigate this thoroughly in cooperation with Belgium authorities.
An Australian contact received this letter encouraging him to vote in the US midterms. He is not an American citizen and therefore is not eligible to vote.
The letter was postmarked Belgium and sent by the Center for U.S. Voters Abroad, a left-wing dark-money operation linked to the Soros-funded Arabella network. Michael Penuelas who signed the letter is a former Democrat staffer and left-wing climate activist.

It all depends on the Polish military. Which side will their general staff side on?
Apel do wszystkich ludzi z zagranicy, gdy w Polsce zgaśnie światło powiedzcie to dla świata!!!
Dzisiaj w nocy planowane jest wprowadzenie stanu wojennego – wyjątkowego w Polsce. Stan ten daje ogromne uprawnienie dla rządu także cenzurę internetu, platform jak X.
Jacek Karnowski polski dziennikarz właśnie na żywo w telewizji powiedział: według jego źródeł dziś o północy ma być wprowadzony stan wyjątkowy lub stan wojenny. Celem jest pacyfikacja protestów i „zmrożenie” społeczeństwa.
Jednym z powodów wprowadzenia stanu ma być wyimaginowane zagrożenie z Kaliningradu jako pretekst, choć specjaliści mówią, że realnego zagrożenia nie ma.
Jeżeli jutro nic nie napiszę na X to znaczy, że Polska pogrążyła się ponownie w mroku jak w latach 80tych.

Yes, elections do have consequences.
North Carolina Magistrate Judge Teresa Stokes released Decarlos Brown Jr.—the man that killed Iryna Zarutska—on a written promise to appear in court after a January arrest. He had been arrested 14 times prior.
District Court judge Roy Wiggins (Seat 12), who appointed Judge Teresa Stokes, was elected by voters. Elections have real life consequences.

It's happening.
Poland's ambassadors are resigning in protest, Nawrocki has personally stormed the Constitutional Court, and NO ONE has come out in support of Tusk.
The EU is LOSING the attempted coup. Tusk is going to be imprisoned.
Keep fighting, Poland! 🇵🇱

Europe has developed a pretty interesting definition of “protecting democracy.”
🇷🇴 Romania annulled a presidential election after Călin Georgescu finished first, then barred him from the rerun.
🇭🇺 Hungary’s new government rewrote the constitution with retroactive limits that block Viktor Orbán from becoming PM again and later approved rules barring long-serving MPs from the next parliamentary election.
🇩🇪 Germany’s domestic intelligence service classified the AfD as extremist, opening the door to much heavier surveillance of the country’s biggest opposition party.
🇫🇷 France upheld Marine Le Pen’s conviction, kept restrictions on her political future and ordered her to wear an electronic ankle tag.
🇪🇸 In Spain, more than a dozen people tied to Pedro Sánchez’s political and personal circle have been investigated or prosecuted in separate corruption cases, while Sánchez himself has not been charged.
🇬🇧 Britain postponed local elections during a sweeping reorganization of local government, triggering a petition accusing the government of voter suppression.
🇵🇱 And now Poland has police surrounding its Constitutional Tribunal while the government and opposition accuse each other of trying to seize control of the court.
The real red line in Europe may not be democracy... It may be leaving the club.

That’s a lot to be happening all at once, don’t you think?
And the USA is having midterm elections next week.
You know, if I was a conspiracy-minded type I might be connecting some dots here. 🧐
