  • You are 100% right. Trump’s actions not only harm Europe and the rest of the world, he’s harming the U.S. even more, and his actions will directly lead to economic collapse of the U.S., a worldwide depression, and WWIII. Unfortunately, Trump and his supporters currently have a lock not only on all 3 branches of government, but also are developing a stranglehold on traditional media and social media via oligarchs looking to expand their control by allying with Trump’s fascist regime. Sadly, it seems like far too few in the U.S. understand the alarming changes being made and the grave risks. The U.S. is fast becoming a rogue state, and possesses the most powerful military the world has seen so far. We certainly are living in interesting times.


  • Humans evolved consuming a high fiber diet, but the standard American diet of highly processed foods has little fiber. Fiber is extremely beneficial, and feeds the gut microbiome, with which we have a symbiotic relationship and which helps us make things like serotonin. Consuming a whole foods diet, boosting fiber intake with things like psyllium husk and inulin, and regularly consuming fermented foods will help maintain a healthy gut microbiome. Microbiome disbiosis is one of the hallmarks of aging, and can have a huge negative impact on your health.






  • I’m working on my exit strategy as well. While I agree that things in the U.S. are going to get much worse, everything is cyclical and there will be a time in the distant future when the U.S. gets its shit together again. The sad irony is that all of this is self-inflicted. None of this had to happen. All of the suffering so far, and the mass suffering that is going to occur as a consequence of a world superpower going rogue and then collapsing could have been avoided.

    I’m a GenXer, and I feel fortunate to have been born and lived during what is now looking like “peak America”. I’ve known nothing but peace and prosperity. Sure, there have been “wars” and “recessions” in my lifetime, but they have been relatively minor and not had a major impact on my life. The changes being wrought now by corrupt leadership supported by ignorant and malevolent people are destroying the very foundations of what made the U.S. great, and will inevitably result in the collapse of the greatest superpower the planet has seen so far. It’s heartbreaking.


  • No shit he’s not “ruling out war”, as he’s clearly and unambiguously teeing it up. He’s been itching to flex military power, and he undoubtedly will use the “victory” over a “foe” to try to rally his base, who are racist, blood-thirsty rednecks. It will also provide a nice distraction from the Epstein files. Trump has everything to gain (and the U.S. has a lot to lose) by attacking Venezuela, so we can rest assured that the attack is coming. The only thing that would prevent it is if there were a military coup that ousted Maduro before Trump launched the attack.


  • First up was Ben Shapiro, who described Tucker Carlson and others as grifters and charlatans, guilty of misleading their audiences with falsehoods and conspiracy theories.

    Hahahahahahah!!! Pot calling kettle black. This sort of infighting is what happens when leadership falters. Trump’s corrupt mismanagement is becoming more apparent, and starting to tank his approval among even the hardcore MAGAts, and the other narcissists waiting in the wings are now knifing each other as they jockey for position. Wait until the economy comes completely unglued in 2026 and we experience major economic collapse, with bank runs, etc., similar to the lead-in to the Great Depression. We are definitely living in interesting times!



  • I have a Ducati Monster 1100 with a Termignoni exhaust that is borderline obnoxious. It makes all the right vroom vroom noises, making me feel like a very special boy. I am solicitous of others though and moderate my throttle action in residential areas to keep it mellow. I do agree though that loud pipes can alert drivers that might otherwise not notice you.
