🤢🤮read the label!
Much of the L-cysteine in bread dough has been made from feathers and hair. FDA allows it as a dough strengthener in yeast-raised baked goods, at up to 0.009 parts per 100 parts flour. Gluten is held together partly by disulfide bonds. L-cysteine breaks some of them, so the dough mixes faster, stretches further and handles better on the machines. Wacker, one of the companies that makes it, lists buns, toast, tortillas and pizza dough among the uses. The traditional way to make it is to break down keratin from duck and chicken feathers, hog bristles and human hair in acid and pull the cysteine out. A 2017 trade report put more than 50% of world production on that route, and a 2024 review still called it the most common method. Fermentation from plant sugar is the alternative, and Wacker sells a version it says uses no animal materials. The label doesn't have to say which one it is. Hot Pockets lists L-cysteine hydrochloride in the dough conditioner for its crust.

Muslims make up less than 2% of the U.S. population, yet they control the entire state of Minnesota and Columbus, Ohio, and are on the verge of controlling Michigan. They’ve utterly destroyed Lewiston, Maine, while Dearborn, MI might as well be in the sandbox. France is 10% Muslim and on the brink of becoming a failed state. The UK is 6% Muslim and has just uncovered the rape of roughly 250,000 girls by Muslim gangs. America needs to wake up. This is jihad.

What a complete fool
Your average demoralized leftist if they take back power in 2026 and 2028. Take a little bit of your time to go vote. Stay in line. Bring a friend.

Completely captured
A study has analyzed the ratio of Democratic to Republican professors at American universities. The result is even more extreme than you might imagine. The left is hegemonic in the academic world.

Here is your model @GovAbbottPress
Missouri solved illegal immigration. Other states just complain. The Show-Me State didn’t talk — it acted: • 2008: 90% of voters made English the official language. No government services in any other language. • Cops must verify immigration status on arrest and report illegals to the feds. • Zero access to food stamps or Missouri HealthNet. • No taxpayer-funded financial aid for illegals at any public college — and schools must certify compliance every year. Result: Missouri has almost no illegals. They simply aren’t welcome, and they get nothing from taxpayers. Arizona and others spent years grandstanding while Missouri quietly locked the door. The media ignores it because the results expose the open-border failure everywhere else. Other states could do the same. They choose not to. #Missouri #IllegalImmigration #AmericaFirst

🇺🇸⚡️President Trump: "I will propose a Western Survival Pact. Whoever joins it closes its borders, expels en masse, and defends its culture. Whoever doesn't do it... faces the invasion alone. And the first one who must sign it is the United Kingdom... or it sinks!" 💥

The legacy of every #dei #woke ideology on earth. Wake up, commies
Vous êtes l’Afrique du Sud. 1652 : La Compagnie néerlandaise des Indes orientales établit un poste de ravitaillement au Cap. Les Britanniques arrivent et apportent les premières infrastructures modernes : - chemins de fer - minage - hôpitaux - éléctricité - universités - agriculture - État de droit Les Blancs construisent l’économie industrielle qui transforme une collection de tribus primitives en le pays le plus riche d’Afrique. 1994 : Le parti anti-blancs ANC prend le pouvoir. L’ère Mandela cède la place à la discrimination positive et à une rhétorique de réforme foncière qui présente les Blancs comme des expropriateurs perpétuels. Les attaques de fermes et la criminalité rurale explosent ; les agriculteurs isolés sont des cibles faciles pour le vol et le meurtre. Les Blancs commencent à partir en grand nombre : plus de 500 000 depuis 2001. La part des Blancs dans la population diminue ; ceux qui restent font face à une criminalité élevée, des coupures de courant et des services municipaux en déclin. octobre 2026 : Les systèmes d’eau sont au bord d’un effondrement total. Des décennies de maintenance négligée et ~50% de l’eau volée, laissent les réservoirs vides: - Les habitants restent des semaines sans eau courante. - Les citernes sont lentes ou absentes. - Les manifestations bloquent les routes. - Les zones en hauteur et les quartiers plus pauvres sont les plus touchés. L’infrastructure et les tuyaux posés par les coloniaux se dégradent plus vite que ce que les ingénieurs noirs et les autorités arrivent à réparer. Félicitations, vous êtes redevenus une collection de tribus primitives.

The @europeanunion is a threat. Save Poland at all costs @POTUS
Wenn es sich herausstellt, dass die Polizisten, die das polnische Verfassungsgericht abriegelten, ohne Dienstnummern zu tragen und die offensichtlich kein Polnisch konnten, aus Deutschland waren, ist das noch perfider, als ich zunächst dachte: Zum einen wäre es offener widerrechtlicher EU-Terrorismus gegen eine souveräne Nation und Unterstützung eines Staatstreichs. Zum anderen würde es die nur mühsam verschütteten Gräben zwischen Polen und Deutschland wieder aufreißen und erneut Zwietracht zwischen beiden Nationen säen. Ganz im Sinne der menschenverachtenden supranationalen EU.

We must understand the metaphors of our ancestors
Knight, Death and the Devil. Albrecht Dürer, 1513. Handbook of the Christian Knight (Enchiridion militis Christiani): "In order that you may not be deterred from the path of virtue because it seems rough and dreary ... and because you must constantly fight three unfair enemies—the flesh, the devil, and the world—this third rule shall be proposed to you: all of those spooks and phantoms which come upon you as if you were in the very gorges of Hades must be deemed for naught after the example of Virgil's Aeneas ... Look not behind thee." Erasmus of Rotterdam. "…he engraved an armed man on horseback with such perfection that even the glitter of his weapons and the coat of his black horse can be discerned…" Giorgio Vasari.

ATX NEEDLE EXCHANGE- I confronted the Texas Harm Reduction Alliance, that’s been handing out NEEDLES and GLASS PIPES to drug users in Austin. Turns out they’ve been receiving $5.8 MILLION in city funding, with their executive director acting completely shocked when I mentioned it. I then pulled up the receipts, forcing them to admit they have indeed been receiving millions since 2021. THRA is a “harm reduction” center (similar to the programs in San Francisco and Portland that have led to needles and glass pipes littering the street) they state they don’t use city funding to buy said supplies, however, the city is funding their entire organization and multiple surrounding businesses have complained of the drug users that THRA has attracted to the area. THRA also states that over the last year alone they’ve “safely disposed” of 36,000+ dirty needles, but refused to respond to my question of where all of these needles came from and how many they distributed vs. cleaned up. Their “community engagement coordinator”who deemed me a “fascist” then decided to try and follow me to my car after I tried to leave. Distributing drug paraphernalia to active drug users is illegal per Texas law btw, however, this org has been distributing since 2019.

The turk's hero ☠️
Fidel Castro wooed and married the most beautiful, richest girl at Uni Havana: Mirta Diaz-Balart (aunt of the Florida congressmen). The family thought she’d married beneath her station because Castro’s father was well-off, but a country bumpkin married to his maid. While the Diaz-Balarts were much more wealthy and very cosmopolitan with apts & siblings in Paris, visiting London (Waldo Diaz-Balart, whose paintings are at Moma, hung out with Picasso crowd, etc). The Diaz-Balarts treated Castro as another average member of the family at Sunday luncheons, when he was used to being the pampered child, orating to his cleaning lady mom & country dad over meals. He hated not being the center of attention, nor as rich nor as cosmopolitan as the Diaz-Balarts. And as with all communists, envy propelled him towards revolution. He kicked out the whole Diaz Balart family, kept their homes, their art, their jewels and their grandson, Mirta’s only child. All out of envy, greed, hatred of his own inferiority, his lack of cosmopolitanism (had never even traveled, spoke no foreign languages, hick parents). Enviousness & a sense of entitlement caused Castro to murder, plunder, rob and leave his son without a mother.

Vote @TheDemocrats for this model in the USA
The ANC has governed South Africa since 1994. Shit now flows in our streets; we faced years of rolling blackouts, and taps now make children sick. In Bronkhorstspruit, east of Pretoria, more than 800 people have fallen ill since early October, most of them under four years old, from water sent out by the state's own treatment works, full of E. coli. Apparently, some official forgot to order chlorine. Somehow this party still expects to win the November 4 local elections, which tells you what state capture does to a voter base. Municipalities across Limpopo and the Eastern Cape now pipe sewage into the streets. ANC officials built the system this way, because a dependent electorate is a captive electorate. Central to this is cadre deployment, the practice of placing party loyalists inside every state institution regardless of competence. The result is predictable: Transnet collapsed, SAA burns through bailouts, and water treatment works poison the towns they serve. Potholes in our roads are often so large that entire cars fall into them. The state is a machine for moving wealth upward to politically connected insiders while public services rot. The latest Social Research Foundation poll puts the ANC at 32 percent nationally and 22 percent in Johannesburg, behind the DA in the city it ran for most of the past thirty years. Thirty years of dependency grants, captured media, and patronage networks still make rational exit costly for millions of South Africans. The question remains: How is it possible that people walking through their own shit to collect buckets of drinking water are still voting for this party of criminals? That 32% should be 0%.

Vote @TheDemocrats for more of this ☠️
Portland’s Royal Sonesta: bought for $108.3M in 2016. Now reportedly sold for $6.83M for 220 rooms—just $31,000 per key. A staggering 93.7% price collapse. This is what happens when government fails at public safety, downtown disorder spirals, Measure 110’s consequences go unaddressed, and Multnomah County’s mental-health system fails people in crisis. Tourism doesn’t thrive where visitors feel unsafe and downtown businesses struggle to survive. Portland didn’t get here by accident. Policy choices have consequences—and taxpayers, workers, businesses, and property owners are paying the price. @mitch4portland @pnwpolicyangel @TeacherTiff4PDX @kanalforpdx @MayorKWilson

Poor look @MIT
> be a high-flying MIT scientist > discover mTOR > expected to win a Nobel Prize some day > have consensual relationship with younger female biology MIT professor > she accuses him of sexual harassment, coercion and grooming after he declines a long term relationship with her > MIT launches investigation > MIT lets the accuser’s allies help pick the judges and threaten the president if he wasn’t destroyed > lo and behold, investigation finds he violated MIT’s sexual relationship and anti-harassment policies > he gets fired and resigns under threat of termination > loses his lab > he sues her for defamation > jury awards him $6 million in defamation case and rejects her claims that she was coerced in any way How did 13 members of a civilian jury come to a different conclusion than @MIT? Answer: MIT’s investigation was not exactly independent thanks to coordinated female faculty collusion. It was a kangaroo court and the verdict was pre-determined

Commies: educate yourselves
The largest famine in human history was a timetable of a government improving on nature, and every line of it was announced as progress. 1958, January: Mao issues eight rules for farming. Two of them come from the Soviet biologist Lysenko, who taught that plants of one species do not compete, so seedlings can be sown ten times closer. Nobody in the room has farmed. 1958, spring: The Four Pests campaign. Every sparrow in China is drummed out of the sky, close to two billion birds, and the insects that fed their chicks are left alone with the wheat. 1958, spring: Deep ploughing is ordered. A metre down, in places three. A thousand years of topsoil is buried under subsoil that will not grow a weed. 1958, summer: Close planting. Seedlings packed so tight the lower leaves rot in the dark, and the fields are ventilated with electric fans and lit at night with lamps. 1958, August: Half a billion peasants are moved into communes. The private plot, the family pig and the family goat are taken into common ownership, and the pigs start dying first. 1958, autumn: Backyard furnaces. Ninety million peasants are pulled off the fields at harvest to melt their pots and tools into worthless iron, and the forests come down to fire them. 1958, winter: With the real harvest rotting unpicked in the fields, the provinces report the biggest crop in history to Beijing, 375 million tonnes, nearly double the truth. 1959: The grain quota is set on the fiction. The state takes its share of a harvest that does not exist, and ships 4 million tonnes abroad to pay for machinery. 1959, summer: The locusts arrive, then the borers, on fields with no sparrows. The counties that lost the most birds lose the most grain. 1959, July: Marshal Peng Dehuai tells Mao the countryside is starving. He is purged, and every official in China learns what honesty costs. 1960: The pig herd has halved. The oxen are eaten. In Anhui and Sichuan whole villages have nobody left strong enough to bury the dead. 1960: Beijing quietly buys a quarter of a million sparrows from Moscow, in crates, in hard currency. 1962, January: Liu Shaoqi stands up in front of seven thousand officials and calls the disaster three parts nature and seven parts man. 1962: The private plots are handed back. The family pig returns. The famine ends within the year. Three years of ploughing, planting, slaughtering and drumming against nature, and the dead run from fifteen million at the lowest count to forty-five million at the highest, in a country at peace, with a generation behind them never born. Every animal on that timeline was removed as a cost. The sparrow, the pig, the goat, the ox. The grain was the plan, and the grain was never enough. The famine ended on the day a family was allowed to keep a pig again.
