  • Whether it was Trump being stupid, Trump sabotaging the country, or Trump coordinating with them directly – I’m not even sure that matters so much, but it is very clear that Iran, Russia, and Israel are all better off now than they were before the strikes. Which to me tracks for Trump selling off America.

    Also can we stop pretending that Trump is actually making these decisions and isn’t a sock-puppet letting his administration run things? Did we not see the article where JD Vance was running the show in the Situation Room? Do we not yet understand that this administration is being run by the surrounding psychopaths?



  • Been saying since the start: Iran is in on all this.

    Edit: Okay, clearly many of you have not thought this through:

    • IRGC Coup – The IRGC has LONG been wanting to make a move over the Ayatollah. Now the new Ayatollah is a sockpuppet and the IRGC has completely taken over by way of coup.

    • Quelled Civil Unrest – Prior to this conflict, civil unrest in Iran was heavily mounting. Thousands upon thousands out on the street. Now Iranian dissidents hopeful for being rescued were baited out of their homes, only to be slaughtered the first time Trump left them hanging, and the second time Israel and USA suddenly became the new threat and rallied the masses around while also indicating nobody was actually coming to save them from the tyranny within.

    • Superficial Damage – Most damage done to Iran has largely been superficial for media optics. Even their nuclear program has largely remained intact.

    • New Cashflow – Not only has this massively benefitted Russia with lifted oil sanctions, the IRGC got a massive injection into their own economy, both with the new toll system but also the literal cited fucking article above.

    I stand by what I said: Iran, or rather a certain faction in Iran, was likely in on it. This makes worlds of sense when you realize how tight Iran, Russia, and Republicans are together.







  • “Conversely, we found lower risks of cognitive impairment and dementia for high vs low consumers of minimally processed foods such as whole grains, fruits and vegetables,”

    I’m not surprised of course, but it’s always good to have up to date and more corroborating evidence.

    I’ll have to delve more into the studies but I’m curious what the mechanisms they’ve indicated. They point out that bacon was one of the worst offenders, which may track with high nitrates (absent of counteracting antioxidants) and the high saturated fat.

    Second to this, I’m curious if it’s not just what you’re eating, but what you’re not eating instead. I suspect we’ll see more cases of malnutrition in the likes of long-term GLP-1 users who while they may eat less like a smoker, they are also not necessarily adding positive nutrients to their diet either.
