In January 2025 my mom’s lung cancer spread to her brain. The drug with the best chance of helping her was approved in China but not here.
A doctor told me, almost as an aside, that if she were Chinese she could buy it at a pharmacy.
So I flew to Shanghai and came home with 26 boxes in my luggage. That was 19 months ago. My mom is still here, still working, and in her words has had an amazing three years.
The drug was approved in China in 2023. The FDA approved it in July 2025. It still is not for sale here. I know of at least 30 Americans who have made the same trip.
I have been scared to tell this story because I worried it could cost my mom access to the medicine keeping her alive. But the problem matters more than my silence. These drugs need to be developed and available here, and that means FDA reform.
Art Allen at KFF Health News told our story this week. It also ran in The Washington Post.

Just remember, kiddos, when politicians issued mandates during covid or red flag laws, it's the police that come to enforce the will of the corrupt, not the people. If you think the government is corrupt, but support law enforcement, you don't understand the problem.

There it is, Judge GRAF has NOT AUTHORIZED ANY VIDEO OR AUDIO of Tyler Robinson's pretrial hearing in the Charlie Kirk assassination case 👀
Furthermore, he has forbidden the public viewing it on WebX which is out of norm for Utah.
The courtroom cover-up has begun? 🤔

In light of @SteveBakerUSA’s new CCTV video which appears to exonerate Brian Cole Jr, I sent a letter to @FBIDirectorKash & DOJ today, requesting they immediately review the video, release Mr. Cole, and conduct a J6 pipe bomb investigation to include police & other officials.

A TSA supervisor cleared grandfather Kermit Warren to fly with $28,000 in his bag. Then the DEA ROBBED him of every dollar.
His crime? Nothing.
The government calls it “civil forfeiture.” Everyone else calls it theft.
Kermit Warren flew to Ohio to buy a truck so he and his son could haul scrap metal for a living after losing their jobs during COVID.
The truck was too big for what they needed, so they headed home with the cash.
At the airport, he told TSA exactly what was in his bag. A supervisor said he could travel with it and waved him through security.
Then the DEA showed up.
Warren tried to show the agents the truck he’d flown in to buy. He offered to call the seller. They weren’t interested.
“We think y’all are up here doing something illegal.”
That’s it. That’s the evidence. A man’s life savings, gone on a hunch — and they wouldn’t even let him make a phone call to prove them wrong.
WARREN: “When they seized my life savings, every penny that I’ve worked for, every honest dollar that I earned over the last 25–30 years, it made me feel like I was the dirt on the ground.”
CONTEXT: Fortunately, the government didn’t get away with this one. After roughly a year without his savings, federal prosecutors agreed to return all $28,180 to Kermit Warren and dismissed the case.

In light of the most recent attack by Vivek (by way of manipulating Amy’s family) I have considered this-
Vivek and his friends cover up human and child trafficking while attacking Amy Acton over the abuse she endured as a child.
These revolting and manipulative men show no care or genuine concern for people or Ohio and that is the reason I was called to run against Vivek in the primary.
I’m a Republican, but I’m crossing party lines to vote for Amy and end Vivek’s political future in America.
Amy, may you lead Ohio with compassion for everybody and our future as normal people together.
(That includes straight White men too)

Kurt Metzger: “There is no right and left in this country.”
“There is no democracy.”
“There’s only feudalism.”
“I see the game now.”
“Peter Thiel’s philosophy is the exact same philosophy as Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama.”
“Or any of the socialists.”
“Bernie’s job is to channel your revolution energy into the Democratic Party.”
“Just like AOC.”
“AOC was gonna knock down the House, remember?”
“And what did she do?”
“Vote with Israel.”

I'm fully aware that I'm going to catch heat for this post. The pro-Ukrainian crowd is going to accuse me of being a Russian bot.
Sorry to disappoint, but I'm just a 48 year old American dad from North Carolina trying to spread some truth.
I don't GAF about Putin or Russia. But these are the facts.
Biden met with Putin during the summer of 2021. After that meeting, Biden said that he was optimistic of having a good relationship with Putin.
After that meeting, Putin again said that his redline was Ukraine joining NATO.
Two months after meeting with Putin, Biden invited Zelensky to the White House to discuss a new missile system for Ukraine and to discuss Ukraine joining NATO. That happened.
After the Biden/Zelensky meeting, Putin continued saying publicly that his redline was Ukraine joining NATO.
After Russia invaded Ukraine, Biden went on TV and declared that Ukraine would be joining NATO and that Russia had already lost the war.
I don't give a damn about Putin or Russia. I'm not arguing that Putin was in the right. The purpose of this post is to show that the Biden Administration absolutely knew what they were doing when they were provoking Putin to start this war. They knew what they were doing when they invited Zelensky to the White House to discuss Ukraine joining NATO. Wake up people.

All 50 states would block @ElonMusk from teaching a high-school physics class because he doesn’t have a government-issued "teaching certificate."
There are professionals in all 50 states—engineers who built bridges, pilots who’ve flown across the world, and doctors and nurses who’ve saved lives—who would love to volunteer to teach.
Yet they can’t because teachers unions have lobbied to create barriers. We should tear down these barriers and invite professionals into our schools to teach and inspire young Americans.

ICE cause father to crash car during traffic stop—with 2 little kids sitting in back seat.
Turns out he wasn't even guy they were looking for.
Traumatize his 2 toddlers for no reason.
Agents grab at kids' legs trying to pry them out of their dad's arms.
Video clearly shows severe damage to the front of the man's car—with the driver side wheel completely off.
Then agents threaten U.S. citizen with pepper spray—just for filming on public sidewalk.
After running the man's picture through facial recognition—agents had to admit they got the wrong guy.
Incident occurred in the Silver Lake neighborhood of Providence, Rhode Island.
Og_Cempoalli doesn't have an account on this platform—so posting first full length, English translated, and credited video here to help raise awareness.

🇺🇸 The scrutiny surrounding Sam Altman back in 2023 was at an all-time high after a bombshell New York Magazine report and a scandalous lawsuit filed by his sister.
Now it’s been alleged that Altman actually tried to pressure the magazine’s editor-in-chief to remove any mention of his sister from the article or squash it.
I’m not going to get into what his sister has claimed… you can look that up yourself. I will remind you that this is one of the key players in the future of life as we know it.
Just let that steep for a minute.
