BREAKING: Democrats in Congress want nearly 50 years in jail for Jared Kushner — for pulling in billions from Middle East governments while shaping U.S. foreign policy 
This isn’t a rumor. It’s already in motion.
While serving as a top Trump Middle East envoy and negotiator (Special Envoy for Peace), Kushner’s private equity firm Affinity Partners has raised over $5 billion — much of it from the exact same Gulf governments he’s been cutting deals with.
LMFAO making threats to me now so cops if anything happens to me take a look at DonnyPoopy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The Prophet ﷺ : Whoever sleeps while having a "ghamar" in his hand and does not wash it, if something befalls him, let him not blame anyone but himself.
What is the meaning of "ghamar"??
What is the meaning of "ghamar"??
In this hadith, “ghamar” refers to the greasy smell or residue left on the hands after eating, especially from meat or fatty foods.
The Prophet ﷺ was teaching cleanliness and hygiene, meaning a person should wash their hands properly before sleeping. Otherwise, leftover food smell or grease could attract insects or cause harm.
My HbA1c has been rising for two years. From 4.8 to 5.4.
In the same two years my fasting insulin fell from over 6 to 3.7. My metabolic health has never been better by every other marker I track.
One number going up. Another going down. Same patient. Same period. Opposite directions.
My doctor sees the HbA1c and says I am heading toward prediabetic territory.
My insulin says I have never been further from diabetes in my life.
Here is what nobody explains.

HbA1c measures how much sugar has stuck to your red blood cells over their lifespan. The higher your blood sugar, the more glycation. The more glycation, the higher the HbA1c.
A normal red blood cell lives about 120 days. So HbA1c is a 3 to 4 month average of glycation damage.
That sounds straightforward. And it is, if your red blood cells live 120 days.
But what if they do not?
A normal red blood cell lives about 120 days. So HbA1c is a 3 to 4 month average of glycation damage.
That sounds straightforward. And it is, if your red blood cells live 120 days.
But what if they do not?
When your blood sugar is consistently low, your red blood cells take less glycation damage. Less damage means they live longer. Instead of 120 days, they may live 140 to 150 days.
A longer-lived cell collects more glycation simply by being alive longer. Not because blood sugar is higher. Because the cell is healthier.
That is the paradox. Your HbA1c goes up because your red blood cells are surviving longer because your blood sugar is better.
The marker that is supposed to measure disease is being inflated by health.

YouTuber Dan Schaeffer says he “completely cleared” his sinuses by combining DMSO, purified water, and colloidal silver into a nasal spray.
One squirt up each nose twice a day, and the results were “amazing.”
“No pressure, no nothing.”
Dan’s experience is not an isolated one.
In 1992, Russian researchers found that treating children with sinusitis using a 10% DMSO solution followed by local oxygenation provided complete relief in 49 of 52 cases.
DMSO is a cheap substance you can typically find online for under $30.
Turns out it can do much more for your respiratory system than just clear your sinuses. 🧵

Most people think respiratory infections are something you just have to “ride out.”
You get congested. Your throat hurts. Your sinuses clog. Maybe it turns into a cough, maybe it doesn’t. Maybe it moves into your chest, maybe it doesn’t.
So you take a decongestant, stock up on tissues, drink fluids, wait a few days, and hope it passes.
But that entire model skips one of the most important parts of the story:
Where many respiratory infections actually begin.

Respiratory viruses don’t typically start as deep lung infections.
They often begin in the upper airway—the nose, sinuses, throat, and nasopharynx.
That matters because the early stage of the illness may be happening in areas that are much easier to reach than the lungs.
In other words, by the time people are talking about bronchitis, pneumonia, oxygen levels, and hospital care, they may have already missed the window of opportunity.

I got a message last month from a 29 year old athlete.
He had been clinically dead in an ambulance 4 weeks earlier. Full cardiac arrest. 100% blocked LAD. The widow maker.
Resuscitated. Stented. Survived.
His cholesterol was low. His Lp(a) was 10. Every marker the system trusts said he was perfectly healthy.
This thread is about what actually caused his heart attack. And 5 hidden killers in young, fit people that your doctor will never test for.

He eats wild caught fish he catches himself. Seasonal game he hunts. Grows his own food.
No alcohol. No drugs. No supplements. No processed food.
If he cannot hunt it or grow it, he does not eat it.
Look at him and you would never suspect a cardiac event was possible. His doctor would never suspect it either.
That is the problem.

His fasted lipid panel after the event.
Triglycerides: 47.
HDL: 101.
LDL: 118.
Lp(a): 10.
Trig to HDL ratio: 0.47.
Anything below 1.0 is world class metabolic health. He is at 0.47.
His doctor saw total cholesterol at 233 and reached for a statin.
The cholesterol paradigm had zero predictive power. Zero.

A Market Wizard with 51 years in the game just did the math on your dream.
Out of 1,000 people who try to become traders, 2 or 3 make it.
He told the room anyway, then explained exactly how he became one of them.

The last generation that fought World War Two is disappearing.
But something else may be disappearing with them. The understanding of what they actually fought for.
Recent surveys suggest many young adults already struggle to place some of the most basic events of the war.
This is what's quietly happening to these memories..🧵1/7

There were once more than 16 million American veterans of World War Two.
They filled the factories and the parades, coached the baseball teams, taught in the schools, and ran for office.
For most of the last eighty years, if you wanted to know what the war was truly like, you could simply ask one. They were everywhere.
Today, the Department of Veterans Affairs projects that only around 31,000 are still alive. Fewer than one in 500 of those who served.
Soon, there will be nobody left who remembers the landing craft lowering their ramps toward the beaches, the bombers forming up by the hundreds in the cold morning sky, or the telegram arriving at the front door that a family had prayed would never come.
And we are not ready for what happens when the last of those voices falls silent.

World War Two is still taught in schools, and that matters.
But for many students, one of the largest and most consequential events in all of human history is compressed into a handful of pages near the back of a textbook.
Pearl Harbor. D-Day. Hiroshima. Victory.
A map with arrows. A list of dates to memorize for the examination, and then the class moves on to the next unit.
The problem is not that the facts are wrong.
The problem is that facts alone were never how this was meant to be remembered.
A textbook can tell you that around 2,400 Americans died at Pearl Harbor, or that the first wave at Omaha Beach suffered terrible casualties in the opening minutes.
What it cannot easily do is make you feel the weight of a single one of those men.
The nineteen-year-old who woke up that morning with no idea it was his last.
The friends who watched him go.
The facts can be printed on a page.
The human reality has to be handed down, person to person, and that chain is close to breaking.

@RevTChristopher These are good questions, but I think the answer varies according to state and district.
One key difference between Black Republicans and Black Democrats is that Black Republicans are still ambitious to serve the people, so they seek higher office, with chance of losing.

@RevTChristopher Black Democrats seem to like their set-aside safe seats, dying in office and leaving their constituents without representation.

1/ As someone who has been in a few murder trials let me just try to explain why the police always ask people not to speculate, (with the caveat that I understand everyone is justifiably angry, saddened and horrified).
Murder investigations and trials are very fragile things.
Murder investigations and trials are very fragile things.
2/ In a murder trial, every single move the police make is put under a microscope. Days and days can be spent on suggestions they were "playing to the media" or that they improperly provided a running commentary on an investigation for social media consumption. This matters.
3/ In criminal proceedings, evidence can be excluded under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 or common law if it's unfair to go before a jury. One way a defence team can make that argument is to argue release of evidence contaminated other evidence or ultimately the jury
