You may have heard the phrase "Cubic Dollar" to mean a large amount of money. But did you ever wonder how much a "Cubic Dollar" really is? I figured it out, and it's shocking!

In Colorado, researchers gave breastfed babies puréed beef as their very first solid food instead of the iron-fortified cereal on every weaning chart, and the beef babies grew bigger heads.
Nancy Krebs took 88 babies, breastfed and four months old, and split them at random.
From five months, half were spoon-fed puréed beef. Half got the iron-fortified baby cereal American paediatricians had handed out as first food for generations.
The babies took to the beef just as happily as the cereal.
Between seven and twelve months, the heads of the beef babies grew faster. The amount of zinc and protein a baby took in predicted how much its head grew.
Her team kept going. Breastfed babies given more protein from meat grew longer, without putting on extra fat.
Then they took formula-fed babies and gave half of them meat purée and half of them yoghurt, cheese and whey from five months to a year.
The meat babies climbed up the growth charts for length. The dairy babies slipped down them, and got heavier for their height instead.
At two years old, the difference was still there.
The World Health Organization now says babies should have meat, fish or eggs every day from six months if they can.
The jar on the supermarket shelf still says baby rice.

Marc Andreessen revealed how Harvard Business School was built on a broken 1941 theory, and how it's now collapsing...
Andreessen co-founded Netscape in 1994 and a16z in 2009.
He has sat on Meta's board since 2008.
He has spent 30 years backing founders and watching managerial CEOs lose to them.
The pattern traces back to one book: James Burnham's The Machiavellians (1941).
Burnham argued every great company had been founder-run.
Henry Ford ran Ford. Bob Noyce ran Intel.
Today, Elon Musk runs Tesla, SpaceX, and Starlink.
Then, he said, something broke.
Between the 1880s and the 1920s, a new philosophy replaced the founder. It was called managerialism.
The professional manager would now hold a portable skill, usable across any business.
The consequences were:
- Harvard Business School
- Stanford Business School
- Management as a universal skill
- The 1970s conglomerate
"That assumes the managers are going to do a good job," Andreessen says.
For 30 years, they haven't.
Managers can run something static, he says. Soup is soup. A bank is a bank. A car is a car.
But when the industry changes, the manager freezes.
Look at SpaceX.
"Imagine being a professionally trained manager, trained at a top management school, working for a rocket launch company, competing with SpaceX."
Then Elon's rockets started landing on their butt.
"Your management skills ... what good are they at that point?"
Andreessen's conclusion:
"You're much more likely to build something important in the 21st century if you start with the founder and train them on management."

A truly amazing admission.
For those that don’t know, South Africa is now a hellish anti-white failed state.
Most water systems are failing, food production is collapsed, and the cities are unlivable road warrior death zones.
Hell yes.
Americans didn't create or grant this right, we just recognized in our Constitution's Bill of Rights that the right to keep and bear arms is a preexisting, God given right that "may not be infringed".
All free people must have the right to buy, own, carry, and use arms in the course of self defense OR correcting tyranny in government.
If your government does not recognize this (and our in the US "infringes" greatly with illegalities like the NFA and GCA and state laws), then it is in the midst of perpetrating an oppressive tyranny.
Aside: Where can I get one of those gun safes that works like Mary Poppins' bag?
This just confirms why I'm voting Tuesday, but am refusing to vote for Abbott or Patrick.
Getting rid of Indian and Mohammedan in aders is one of the most important things our state MUST do. They are a deadly existential threat to the people of Texas.
"As long as I'm governor of this great state, Texas will be a land for the Indian community. And we will continue to celebrate diwali here in the great state of Texas."
Oh yeah? How about fuck you, how about fuck your disgusting multicultural agenda. Burn the @GOP to the ground.

In 2016 The NY Times did a video on the 2000 election and how crazy it was to not have the results on Election Day.
Now the MSM tells us that not having the results on Election Day is normal. 😜
If you go to bed on election night and don't know who won a midterm congressional race, that's normal. And if you wake up the next morning and find that a candidate who was behind hours earlier has since pulled ahead, that's normal, too. (via @PolitiFact) to.pbs.org/4zqnWBa

Actually, what the hell, one more "park bomb."
Every fall, ACL Fest takes over Zilker, Austin's most beloved public park.
Most people assume the city runs it, or at least gets paid well for it. It doesn't. On paper, ACL is owned by the Austin Parks Foundation, a private charity.
That one detail changes who gets the money.
In 2024, the Foundation took in $8.4 million from ACL. The city, which owns the park, got about $100,000. That's taxpayers' land, earning roughly 1% of what it brings in.
Chicago makes the same company pay its parks $10 million a year for Lollapalooza.
Then in August 2025, one city staffer quietly signed a new deal locking ACL into Zilker for 15 more years, through 2040. No council vote. No announcement. Even the Parks Board wasn't told. A local writer had to dig it up.
The staffer was Parks Director Jesús Aguirre, who had just run Waterloo Greenway, whose biggest contractor is Live Nation, the company behind ACL.
And because the Foundation is private, you can't see its books or sit in on its meetings.
Your most valuable public park is producing millions in profit, and almost none of it reaches the public budget.
Instead it flows to a private group that answers to no voter (or open records requests), under a deal no elected official approved.
Meanwhile you're being asked to fund parks yourself with a $260 million bond.
They're not short on money. They just don't spend it on you.

Candidate Jeff Bowen writes the City has been routing ~$8.5M a year in ACL money to a private foundation while only booking ~$103k for the city itself.
Parks look broke. So they’re asking voters for a $260M bond.
The real money never hits the city’s books. Taxpayers still get the bill - ridiculous.

It's happening.
Poland's ambassadors are resigning in protest, Nawrocki has personally stormed the Constitutional Court, and NO ONE has come out in support of Tusk.
The EU is LOSING the attempted coup. Tusk is going to be imprisoned.
Keep fighting, Poland! 🇵🇱

Unbelievable.
Asst US Attorney General for the @DOJFraudDiv (National Fraud Enforcement Division) says criminal fraudsters are stealing more than the entire budget of the Departments of Energy, Justice Department and Department of Interior COMBINED, EVERY YEAR--about $105 Billion.
And this is just what they've found so far.
FWIW, a Christian worldview is the greatest force for optimism ever seen.
The battle is over. Christ is victorious over sin and death. It's pretty easy to be optimistic when you realize that Truth.
I asked 50 Japanese people, ages 9 to 91, one question.
"What do you admire most about Americans?"
Here are the top answers.
10. "They clap when the plane lands." (Office worker, 34)
9. "They say 'I love you' every time they hang up the phone. Even men. Even to other men." (Taxi driver, 61)
8. "A stranger told me she liked my shoes. Then she just walked away. She didn't want anything." (High school girl, 16)
7. "They thank the bus driver when they get off." (Bus driver, 55. He got emotional saying this.)
6. "They tell you their whole life story in the grocery line. I know about one man's divorce, his boat, and his knee surgery. We knew each other for four minutes." (My mother, 64)
5. "They stand for the anthem at a children's baseball game." (Little League coach, 47)
4. "When they lose, they shake hands and say 'good game.' And they mean it." (Sota, 12)
3. "They fly the flag on a regular Tuesday. No holiday. Just because." (Nurse, 28)
2. "They help a stranger push a car out of the snow, then leave without saying their name." (My cousin's husband, 52, who got stuck in Colorado once)
And the number one answer came from the oldest person I asked. My grandfather. He's 91.
He thought about it for a long time.
Then he said:
"They still believe tomorrow will be better than today."
I asked him what he meant.
"In 1946, we had nothing," he said. "The American soldiers I met were young and far from home. But they acted like the future was coming, and it was going to be good. After a while, we started to believe them."
I asked him if he thought Americans still believe that.
He nodded slowly.
"Tell them," he said, "not to stop."
This is inevitably our future without mass deportations of third world invaders.
We must not tolerate this for another moment.

🚨 BREAKING: POLISH PRESIDENT STORMS HIS OWN HIGHEST COURT AT 1 AM 🚨
Karol Nawrocki just walked straight into the Constitutional Tribunal building after turning his plane around mid-flight from Senegal.
He looked the pro-EU judges in the eye and told them they are NOT judges.
Their attempted takeover is OVER.
“You are not judges of the Constitutional Tribunal!”
🔥🔥🔥
This is the elected President of Poland personally ending a coup in real time.
Donald Tusk’s camp declared the Tribunal’s president (Bogdan Święczkowski) “suspended,” sent police to surround the building, and tried to seize control with judges who were never sworn in by the President. Nawrocki cut his trip short, flew home, arrived after midnight with the head of the Supreme Court, and forced his way inside through the pushing and scuffling at the doors.
He is not backing down.
Poland’s highest court was being hijacked. The President just took it back. 🇵🇱
Go get ’em, Mr. President! 🇺🇸
This is what standing up to a power grab looks like.

839.
That's how many people PARD (Austin's Park and Recreation Department) currently employs.
-About *two-thirds* of PARD's $162.4M goes to pay and benefits ($106.4M, 66%).
-Data, from 2020, shows Austin had 7.5 staff per 10,000 residents, the most of any big Texas city (Dallas 5.8, San Antonio 5.0, Houston 2.4).

No on "Prop A." The issue is not funding. Never has been. It's *how* we spend.

Various journalists asking why I signed the 'racist' Save Europe Act.
It isn't particularly complicated.
I want tens and tens of millions of illegals, freeloaders and criminals removed from our continent.
The only way to Save Europe.
