Right? I suppose they do take a ton of supplements, but that would mean your body’s filter system would be taxed without limit. Both dense proteins and supplements force kidneys into hyper-filtration, which causes them to fail MUCH faster… not to mention getting too much fat in your liver..

This is about normalizing action against people for what they say. It only starts with immigrants. If GOP gains seats in 2026, expect a congressional move to amend the Constitution, including radically weakening the first amendment and establishment of Christianity as a national religion.

He and his daughter are on carnivore diets… only red meat,, salt and water. They claimed for years that it cured several of their health issues, but it looks like it all caught up with him.

Seandalai @seandalai.bsky.social · 2h

I’m not sure what carnivore dieters expect. Why wouldn’t you have a total system failure with so few nutrients, especially after several years of this.?!

George Floyd should still be here to celebrate his 52nd birthday. His life sparked a movement, and our fight for justice, accountability, and humanity continues. We’ll never stop saying his name.

Here’s what’s weird. The DOJ ended it’s “probe” of this incident in September because there was “no credible evidence”, but when George Stephanopoulos interviewed J.D. Vance on Monday, he cut Vance off when Vance started to make excuses for the DOJ on this very issue.

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.
