A Civil War doctor watched more men die of dysentery than of bullets and decided the problem was the bread. James Salisbury was a Union surgeon in a war where disease killed more than half of the 600,000 dead. He blamed the starchy biscuit ration for the camps' endless dysentery and put his sick soldiers on chopped lean beef, broiled, with almost nothing else, letting other food back to a quarter of the plate only once they recovered. He set it all down in 1888 in a book called The Relation of Alimentation and Disease, one of the earliest American diet books and a meat-first elimination protocol a full century before anyone coined the word carnivore. Salisbury never named the dish after himself. He only ever called it muscle pulp of beef. What survives under his name today is a tray. A grey patty of mechanically separated beef, soy protein, caramel colour and gravy reconstituted from powder, sealed under a film lid and microwaved. The doctor prescribed lean beef and a knife. The food industry handed it back as a frozen dinner with a cartoon on the box. The recipe: - 500g good ground chuck, the fattier the better. - 1 egg yolk to bind. - Salt, black pepper, a dash of Worcestershire. - 1 large onion, sliced. - 200g mushrooms. - A splash of beef stock. - Beef tallow or butter to fry. Mix the beef with the yolk and seasoning. Form into thick ovals. Sear hard in tallow until a crust forms. Lift out. Soften the onions and mushrooms in the same fat. Add the stock, scrape the pan, reduce to a gravy. Return the steaks, spoon the gravy over, finish together for two minutes. He thought he was treating dysentery. He was, almost by accident, writing the first carnivore protocol, and a hundred and forty years later people keep arriving at the same conclusion the same way he did, by watching what happens when the starch comes off the plate.

After being fired from CBS, former “60 Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley yesterday said that “new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified.” Those are remarkable claims for which Pelley presented no evidence. Indeed, it would be extraordinary for CBS to demand such things of a correspondent, either verbally or in writing, given the reputational risk to the network. A more likely explanation is that Pelley disagreed with someone at CBS and then declared a difference of opinion to be a demand to lie. Support for this interpretation comes from the fact that he claimed Tuesday that CBS’s new management, led by Bari Weiss, was trying to kill “60 Minutes,” something for which he also did not provide evidence. Moreover, the accusation makes no sense. CBS Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss took the job to rebuild CBS News, not to wreck it, and a ruined “60 Minutes” would hurt her. Paramount’s owners did not pay billions for the network to burn its best asset for spite. So the simpler reading is that Pelley is the one stretching the truth. Doing so appears to be a habit for Pelley. He told The New York Times, “I have been in combat in Afghanistan. I have been in combat in Iraq,” but being in a combat zone as a journalist is not the same as being “in combat.” The remark is yet more evidence of Pelley’s propensity to exaggerate to the point of lying. For decades, mainstream liberal journalists have displayed remarkable levels of arrogance, even as they get major stories wrong. Consider the case of CBS News’ former anchor Dan Rather. In the fall of 2004, two months before the election, Rather presented documents purporting to show favoritism in George W. Bush’s National Guard service. Experts called them forgeries. CBS apologized: “We made a mistake in judgment, and for that I am sorry,” Rather said. On air, he added, “I want to say, personally and directly, I’m sorry.” But then, a decade later, Rather told Variety he still stands “100 percent” behind the report and reframed the apology. Or consider NBC’s Katie Couric. In her 2016 documentary “Under the Gun,” editors inserted roughly eight to nine seconds of silence after she asked Virginia gun owners how to keep guns from felons and terrorists without background checks, making them look stumped. The raw audio revealed that they answered immediately. Couric’s first instinct was to defend what she did, saying she was “very proud of the film.” Only after sustained backlash did she apologize. In her 2021 memoir “Going There,” Couric admitted she cut Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s harshest anthem-kneeling comments from her 2016 interview. Ginsburg had said kneeling players showed “contempt for a government that has made it possible for their parents and grandparents to live a decent life, which they probably could not have lived in the places they came from.” NBC’s “Meet the Press,” in the spring of 2020, aired a clip of Attorney General Bill Barr that omitted part of his answer, misleading the public. When Catherine Herridge interviewed Barr for CBS Evening News, she asked what history would say about his decision to drop the case against a former National Security Advisor to President Trump, Michael Flynn. The Obama administration’s FBI had illegally targeted Flynn for entrapment and prosecution. Barr replied that ”history is written by the winner. So it largely depends on who’s writing the history.” "Meet the Press'" anchor at the time, Chuck Todd, said on air that Barr “didn’t make the case that he was upholding the rule of law. He was almost admitting that, yeah, this is a political job.’” But “Meet the Press” had left out the second part of Barr’s answer to Herridge, in which he said, “But I think a fair history would say that it was a good decision because it upheld the rule of law.” The safeguards the journalism profession built against error did not work when it mattered. The corrections, the editors, the fact-checkers, and the standards desks all sat in place while the press got the border, trans medicine, climate, the sixth extinction, Russiagate, the Hunter Biden laptop, Covid and much else wrong. Gerth described how reporters sought to “shoot the messenger” rather than grapple with evidence contradicting the Russia collusion narrative... x.com/shellenberger/… Please subscribe now to support Public's award-winning journalism and to read the full article!

Since the 1980s, the Sahara has shrunk by roughly 8%. Satellite data show widespread greening, a pattern that is playing out across the planet. Around 50% of Earth's vegetated land has become significantly greener, an area roughly three times the size of the United States. The dominant driver is not rainfall or land use change, it is rising atmospheric CO2. Higher CO2 lets plants photosynthesize more efficiently, they lose less water, they tolerate heat and dryness better. The effect is strongest along desert margins, across the Sahel, the Middle East, Australia's interior and the southern edge of the Sahara. Rising CO2 is making the deserts, and the planet as a whole, greener.

84 years ago today, the most important Japanese admiral in the Pacific sailed into a fog bank he could not see out of, carrying secret orders he believed were known to no one on earth. The Americans had read them three weeks ago. In May 1942, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto had a plan to end the war in the Pacific in 30 days. He would draw the surviving US Navy carriers into a trap near a tiny atoll called Midway, 1,300 miles northwest of Hawaii, and destroy them with the largest naval force ever assembled. 200 ships. 700 aircraft. 100,000 men. Four heavy carriers under Vice Admiral Chuichi Nagumo would lead the strike. The American fleet, which had only three serviceable carriers left after the Coral Sea, would be annihilated. Then Hawaii would fall. Then the US would sue for peace. The plan was perfect. It was also compromised. In a basement in Pearl Harbor, a small team of cryptanalysts under Commander Joseph Rochefort had broken the Japanese naval cipher JN-25 in the spring of 1942. They were reading roughly 20 percent of every Japanese signal in real time, and educated guesswork filled in the rest. By mid-May they knew the target was somewhere referred to only as "AF." But where was AF? Rochefort had a hunch. He sent a signal in the clear from Midway saying their water distillation plant had broken down. Two days later, Japanese intercepts mentioned that "AF" was running short of fresh water. Bingo. By May 27 Admiral Chester Nimitz knew the date of the Japanese attack, the composition of the Japanese force, the route Nagumo would take, and roughly the time he would launch his first strike. He pulled every American carrier to a point northeast of Midway called "Point Luck" and waited. The trap had been set for him. He set a trap inside the trap. On June 2, Nagumo's four carriers approached Midway through the worst fog any of them had ever seen. Visibility dropped below 600 yards. His ships could barely see each other. He held radio silence to protect his approach. He believed he had complete surprise. He believed the American carriers were thousands of miles away in the South Pacific. He believed he was about to win the war. Yamamoto, on the battleship Yamato 600 miles behind him, had intelligence that the American carriers might in fact be at sea. He chose not to break radio silence to warn Nagumo. He assumed Nagumo had the same intelligence. Nagumo did not. At 4:30 AM on June 4, Nagumo launched 108 aircraft against Midway from a position the Americans had been waiting for him to reach. By sunset, three of his four carriers were burning hulks. The fourth would sink the next morning. Japan lost 3,057 men, 248 aircraft, and the four best carriers of the Pacific War in a single day. Japanese naval aviation never recovered. The war was decided in six minutes between 10:22 and 10:28 AM on June 4. The whole disaster traced back to one decision on June 2: a Japanese admiral sailing into fog, trusting that nobody knew where he was going.

"LAST NIGHT: George Clooney attacked Dolly Parton — and received a brutal “lesson” he won’t soon forget.-BN George Clooney thought he could easily score public points by attacking Dolly Parton over her views on patriotism, traditional values, and the direction of American culture. But this time, he picked the wrong opponent. Known as one of America’s most beloved entertainment icons, Dolly Parton didn’t just respond — she delivered a powerful message about freedom of thought, personal responsibility, and respect for everyday Americans. “George Clooney says I’m dividing people with my opinions,” Dolly Parton began in a calm but firm tone. “But what truly divides this country is mocking anyone who thinks differently and pretending only one side deserves to be heard.” And she didn’t stop there. “You know what’s even more dangerous?” Parton continued. “Using fame and influence to shame ordinary people simply because they refuse to follow Hollywood’s political script.” Then Dolly Parton went even further, speaking as someone who has spent decades in the entertainment industry watching public debate become increasingly toxic and hostile toward opposing viewpoints. “It’s not different opinions that weaken a nation,” Parton said. “What weakens it is fear, intolerance, and teaching people to hate one another because of politics.” At that point, this was no longer just another celebrity feud — it became a larger conversation about free speech, division, and the future of public discourse in America. Instead of backing down, Dolly Parton turned the confrontation into a broader debate about the values the country should defend. “I’m not perfect,” Parton admitted. “I’ve made mistakes. But I will always believe that a strong country is one where people can speak freely, disagree openly, and still respect each other as fellow Americans.” And then came the line that many fans said they would never forget: “America was not built on fear or hatred between citizens. It was built on courage, freedom, and the belief that people with different views could still move forward together. So ask yourselves — who is really trying to unite this country?” What began as a celebrity attack quickly turned into something much bigger: a message about unity, responsibility, and the future of America. George Clooney thought he could attack Dolly Parton… but what she said next shocked the nation. Don’t miss her jaw-dropping response—click to see history being made:

Nina Teicholz was a New York journalist on a strict low-fat vegetarian diet that was not really working. Then a magazine sent her to review fancy restaurants in Manhattan. For the first time in her adult life she ate full-fat meat, butter, and cream. She felt better. Sharper. Steadier. And the weight she had been fighting for years started falling off. So she did what a good journalist does. She started asking where the war on fat actually came from. Nine years of research. Hundreds of interviews. Every major diet-heart study reread. In 2014 she published The Big Fat Surprise. The conclusion was simple. The case against saturated fat had never actually been made. It had been assumed, then defended. In September 2015 the BMJ ran her investigation of the US Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee. Cherry-picked studies. Ignored randomized trials. Members with food and pharmaceutical funding. The committee had recommended a diet that no trial had ever shown to be safe or effective long-term. The counterattack arrived in six weeks. The Center for Science in the Public Interest organized a letter signed by more than 180 scientists demanding the BMJ retract her paper. The letter claimed eleven factual errors. The BMJ did not retract. They commissioned a year of external expert review. They corrected seven smaller technical points. They left her central thesis untouched. In December 2016 they confirmed the paper stands. Teicholz pointed out something else in her response. Many of the 180 signatories had taken funding from the food and pharmaceutical industries she had criticized. Since the book, study after study has confirmed her thesis. PURE. FASTER. The reanalyzed Minnesota Coronary Experiment. The official guidelines are quietly walking back their fat warnings without ever admitting why. One reporter forced a peer-reviewed journal to publicly choose between her data and the establishment that funded the consensus. When the establishment cannot refute you, they try to silence you. It did not work. #NSNG #NinaTeicholz #BigFatSurprise #BMJ #SaturatedFat #DietaryGuidelines #LowFat

In 1980, the four largest meatpackers in the United States controlled about 36 per cent of the beef market. Today, four companies, Tyson, JBS, Cargill, and National Beef, control roughly 85 per cent of it. Two of them are Brazilian-owned. The decisions about how American cattle are bought, processed, and priced are increasingly made overseas. This is not a new problem. Congress passed the Packers and Stockyards Act in 1921 precisely to break the stranglehold of the meat trust of that era. A century later the stranglehold is back, tighter than before, with one fewer company holding it. The rancher who raises the animal is squeezed at one end. The shopper who buys it is squeezed at the other. The four firms in the middle are both the only buyers and the only sellers, and they set both prices. When a single plant shut during the pandemic, national beef supply could drop by a fifth overnight. That is what a food system with four points of failure looks like. The cattle are spread across half a million ranches. The control over them sits in four boardrooms.

🚨WHAT THE HELL?!!! The Obama-appointed federal judge who sent Todd Chrisley to prison was caught having LOUD S*X in her chambers during work hours for 2 YEARS, LIED to investigators about it, and got NOTHING but a "private reprimand." Read that again. Her name is Judge Eleanor Ross, her own law clerks told investigators they could hear MOANING, KISSING, and MUSIC through the walls. She denied it and BLAMED THE CLERK until investigators ran FORENSIC TESTS on a couch in her chambers... ...let's just say they came back SUPER POSITIVE. At least FIVE encounters from 2023 to 2025. Her "partner" is an Atlanta Police Deputy Chief named Kelley Collier. She is married... yep, you guessed it, ANOTHER judge. The committee found she made herself vulnerable to BLACKMAIL and EXTORTION and lied to the investigators who called her denials "EGREGIOUS FALSITIES."... ...but she gets to keep her robe Literally ZERO consequences for this, she keeps her lifetime appointment. This judge SENDS PEOPLE TO PRISON FOR A LIVING MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!!!

After spending this week reviewing the Iranian war I am now convinced President Trump is on the edge of an historic victory. The real breakthrough for me came as I reviewed President Trump’s decisions and maneuvers not from the standpoint of American unilateralism but from the standpoint of the leader of a remarkable historic coalition, the largest coalition ever put together in the modern Middle East. Everyone understands that Israel is an important ally. What is little discussed is the depth of support from the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and other countries in the region. It has to be sobering for the Iranian dictatorship to realize that it does not have a single ally willing to challenge the American naval blockade. Slowly, gradually, timidly, our European allies are lining up to help with the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz. A great deal of President Trump’s maneuvers against Iran make sense once he is seen as a coalition leader and not just as a unilateral American President. I spent a lot of the last couple weeks reviewing kinetic options including wining the battle of the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz and if necessary using the shocking and shattering level of force President Nixon and Secretary Kissinger used against Hanoi and Haiphong in Christmas 1972 (which both leaders believed convinced the North Vietnamese to agree to a truce and the freeing of American POWs). If this were a unilateral American campaign I could enthusiastically support a more aggressive kinetic campaign. However it is also clear it would shatter the coalition because our Arab allies are convinced Iran could still do enormous damage to their oil fields and infrastructure. Coalitions are inherently slower than unilateral campaigns. However coalitions ultimately bring vastly more power to the fight. I am as frustrated as everyone else by the pace of talking with the dictatorship but having reviewed the correlation of forces and the options available to the coalition on one side and the Iranian religiously motivated dictatorship on the other I am prepared to assert that President Trump’s coalition leadership (something almost none of his critics want to acknowledge) is within reach of an enormous historic victory. And if the Iranian dictatorship ultimately proves it is hopelessly committed to a suicidal position there will be plenty of time for a kinetic campaign of enormous power and effectiveness. Either way we are on the edge of an astonishing victory for our values and for a safer Middle East.

bit.ly/TWIHIEp486Jaso… A couple years ago, my algorithm started feeding me clips of a smart ass doing inexplicable things with a deck of cards. I’m not talking about card tricks – I’ve seen lots of impressive card tricks over the years. But Jason Ladayne is not a magician who does tricks. He’s a card mechanic who makes you question the nature of space and time by doing things with cards that simply defy the laws of physics, as well as the bounds of imagination. And, as I mentioned, he’s also a smart ass. In a typical Ladayne video - and there are many out there - Jason will accept an online challenge from some skeptical viewer, and then, humiliate the skeptic by demonstrating a level of card mastery that’s difficult to describe, usually while insinuating an inappropriate relationship with the skeptic’s mother. Here is on Instagram doing that very thing, blowing the Internet’s collective mind, along with my own. instagram.com/reels/DJ60VUqt…. I finally caught Jason live last week, at a little club up in Oxnard. He was every bit as fantastic and rude as he is online, and thoroughly entertaining. The next day, he joined me on the podcast for one of my favorite conversations, ever. It’s not just a chat about the business of fooling millions of people every single day or entertaining a live audience several times a week. It’s about the challenge of mastering a skill that few possess, and then, figuring out a way to make a living in these challenging times. I know the secret to Jason's success – hard work, determination, and decades of practice. As for the card stuff, I have absolutely no idea. I'm happy to report that in real life, Jason is not a smart ass. He's a very generous and accommodating guy, who has mastered his craft. Our whole conversation is here, along with a few demonstrations that will break your brain. I guarantee it. bit.ly/TWIHIEp486Jaso…

$112 Billion That’s how much chinese importers are under declaring imports each year @typesfast tells @ti_morse That’s 7 nuclear aircraft carriers worth of tariff fraud! That’s China alone. ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT NO MORE TAXES UNTIL FRAUD STOPS!!

⚡️China’s private capital is trying to leave the regime before the regime fully closes the door. That is the real signal. Capital does not flee because a chart looks bad. It flees because people with money no longer trust the future claim attached to the system. They do not trust the currency. They do not trust the property market. They do not trust policy stability. They do not trust private enterprise protection. They do not trust the equity market. They do not trust that their wealth will remain movable, protected, and politically safe. That is belief breakdown. The state can still command factories, banks, police, courts, ports, platforms, and capital accounts. It can produce GDP. It can subsidize strategic sectors. It can dominate supply chains. It can mobilize AI talent. It can build hard infrastructure at astonishing speed. But private wealth is telling the truth the official data tries to manage: the Chinese system no longer feels like a safe place to store optionality. That word matters: optionality. Rich Chinese families want Singapore. Hong Kong channels. U.S. equities. offshore brokers. gold. dollars. foreign real estate. children abroad. passports. corporate structures. crypto where possible. They are not only seeking returns. They are seeking exits. Capital flight is not just financial movement. It is elite preparation. Beijing’s response confirms the fear. Restrictions on offshore accounts, forced liquidation timelines, penalties on brokers, tighter cross-border controls. Those are signs of a state protecting the vessel from internal leakage. Same arc, new phase. The old China story was growth absorbing control. The new China story is control compensating for lost trust. That is a huge shift. The property boom created household wealth. The export machine created national power. The party-state created stability. For years, those forces reinforced each other. Now property is broken, demographics are hostile, youth employment is weak, private entrepreneurs are cautious, foreign investors are skeptical, and geopolitics keeps pushing capital to price China as a strategic-risk jurisdiction. So the state tightens. But every tightening creates the next layer of distrust. When citizens see exits closing, the desire to exit becomes more urgent. When private wealth sees capital controls rising, it stops asking “where is the best return?” and starts asking “where can wealth still breathe?” That is the doom loop of controlled capital systems. The yuan is the pressure valve. If Beijing lets it fall too much, confidence weakens and outflows intensify. If Beijing defends it too hard, liquidity tightens and growth suffers. If Beijing blocks outflows, trust deteriorates. If Beijing allows outflows, reserves and domestic asset confidence get hit. There is no clean path because the problem is trust, not plumbing.
