Following you because you posted something insightful I loved. Not much of a poster myself, it’s okay to not follow back. We’ll sort it out later.

The Golden Ratio, often represented by the Greek letter ϕ, is approximately 1.618. It appears when a line is divided into two parts such that the ratio of the whole line to the longer part is the same as the ratio of the longer part to the shorter part.

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.
The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.

When the nearest hospital is 60 miles away, every minute matters. Every closure hurts.
The recent spending package signed into law by Trump doesn't just cut funding. It cuts care, safety, & dignity from rural lives.
There's nothing "pro-life" about cutting funding to hospitals.

Rural hospitals will be hit hard by Trump’s signature spending package
Drastic cuts to Medicaid and other public health provisions in the new law will mean even less money to rural hospitals, many of which are already at risk of closing.
