Working on speed and footwork

1/10 I'm a cardiologist. Your scan came back and there's plaque in your arteries. A calcium score of 200. Carotid plaque on ultrasound. Soft plaque on CT angiogram. You're scared. Here's the first thing I tell every patient: Plaque can stabilize. And it can regress. We have imaging proof. This is not a life sentence — but what happens next depends almost entirely on what you do in the next 12 months. Here is the exact protocol. Save this.

The best golfers in the world hold the club with the intrinsic muscles of their hands (whether they know it or not)… The ones that go from being the best in the world to shells of themselves lose the process that allowed them to use their intrinsic hand muscles…. Do exactly this when you play golf and you’ll never need another golf lesson ever again and you will play the best golf of your life.

Alright, you want a conspiracy theory? Trump’s rise and ultimate win in 2016 was shocking to all of the globalists, communists, socialists, and democrats that had created the most robust NGO fraud and propaganda ecosystems in history under Obama, that they knew if an outsider came in, they would be exposed. So, they used a fake intelligence dossier paid for by Hillary Clinton and abused FISA to spy on his campaign and then tied him and his team up in investigations and trials for almost the entirety of his first term. This was just the beginning of lawfare. This bought them time to “clarify” records in the DoJ. They also impeached him over a phone call on purely bipartisan lines with zero proof… and then impeached him again over something else idiotic. They were so afraid, in fact, that they used USAID money to fund foreign pathogen research labs, in coordination with our enemies, to develop COVID and release it on the world to rig the 2020 election and get some control measures and baselines for future authoritarian pushes. They then installed a brain dead corruption machine who sold his former VP position to foreign countries so that his son could do cocaine and prostitutes for a decade on the US taxpayers’ dime, and then pardoned him for it. The NGO fraud and propaganda ecosystem proliferated under his blind leadership, as they had the autopen to accomplish any goal required. They opened up the border and flooded our country with tens of millions of illegals, and they made us pay for it through their NGO networks with federal grants. Then they tried lawfare on Trump twice during Biden’s term as well, using a bogus civil cases so stupid that the accuser couldn’t even remember the year the “incident” supposedly happened in, all to push the narrative that he was a rapist, and then they literally changed laws so that they could charge him with mislabeling payments or something even more idiotic, all so they could call him a felon. That all failed, the MAGA coalition grew, and they knew that they were screwed again, and this time, he was going to be pissed, so they tried to have him killed multiple times (twice that the public knows of). But he survived those and Musk and the big tent joined together with him to catapult him to victory, where they found so much fraud and corruption that it was impossible to interdict fully without completely toppling the government and collapsing America and likely the world. Concessions were made. Lists were hidden or already deleted. Nothing was learned or accomplished. The right was damaged, but that wasn’t enough for the left. The left saw that a united right and center could, yet again, defeat them… so they decided to attack it by using people from the inside. The information operations really took a turn then. All of the sudden, a bunch of “conservative” MAGA influencers and podcasters went full on Nazi and not only anti-Trump, but also anti-American, as they literally cheered on an Islamic terror state. The grifter class gained even larger followings and through the roof engagements courtesy of Pakistani and Russian bots. Money flowed straight from the Inshallahs and Marxists into their never ending pockets. But there was still one man that was holding the right together… despite the ops, despite the onslaughts. Charlie Kirk. His influence on college campuses was unprecedented for the right. He was pushing the most powerful conservative organization in the country into legitimacy, and he had to be stopped. They had used discord and other gaming chats and forums to radicalize young people for years at that point. They just needed to push a little harder. And lo and behold, a troon lunatic murdered that American father of two because that young man was convinced that his words were hateful and thus worthy of violence. But it wasn’t finished there.

As someone who has personally spent $500k / mo+ on Google Ads for years, I can tell you with certainty: This revenue growth in Search is artificial & extremely unhealthy for Google’s business long term Search volumes are declining as legacy search is being increasingly cannibalized by non-monetized LLM queries Google’s response? Manufacture revenue growth via short-sighted, highly extractive, customer-hostile tactics. I.e. charge advertisers more for lower quality clicks, including clicks they do not want and explicitly did not approve Google to charge them for A few examples to illustrate: For all of its history until recently, Google operated on a 2nd price auction model I.e. if you bid $5 CPC and the next highest bidder bids $1 CPC, Google charged you $1.01 for the click (one penny more than the 2nd highest bidder) rather than the $5 you bid This was a genius move by Google early on as it incentivizes advertisers to input their true maximum willingness to pay rather than trying to play the game of bidding low and constantly adjusting to try to stay just ahead of the next highest bidder while still not paying too much However recently, Google silently deprecated the 2nd price auction and began charging advertisers as much as their bid and budget caps allow, regardless of what anyone else is bidding It’s a short-sighted cash grab at the expense of the long term health of the advertiser ecosystem Making thing worse, Google also recently nerfed keyword targeting precision Google previously had precise keyword targeting settings that allowed advertisers pick individual search phrases to bid on, defined down to the character w/ exact match or phrase match targeting This was one of the core features that made search advertising magic, enabling advertisers to run extremely precise campaigns based on exactly what their target customer typed But now, even if you bid on a specific term or phrase using the strictest exact -match targeting settings, Google will show your ad across 1000’s of unrelated keywords, labeling them as as “exact match (close variant)” The definition of “close variant” means whatever they want it to and changes constantly. The result is advertisers get billed for clicks that are totally irrelevant to their business and that their targeting settings explicitly forbid Google from targeting. Google does it anyway and there’s no ability to turn this off So now exact match is broad match, and broad match is just meaningless spam This is all very bad for advertisers, but for Google, it allows them to show your ad and bill you for clicks across 1000x more searches that were previously going unmonetized (mainly because they’re garbage queries no one wants) This is how you grow revenue atop declining search volumes Lastly, and perhaps most egregiously, Google quietly stopped respecting budget caps by a factor of 2x. For example campaigns we’ve been running for years with $1000 daily budget caps suddenly began spending $2000+ per day And the extra spend is entirely on the garbage keywords Google arbitrarily throws in as “exact match (close variants)” which have no value to our business, but can’t be turned off Google offers no refunds nor any recourse for overspend or spend on keywords you explicitly did not target These are not the actions of a healthy business. These are the actions of company whose core business is in decline but desperately needs to pump quarterly earnings so Wall Street will continue to fund insane capex while hopefully looking through their rapidly deteriorating negative free cash flow Google operated a benevolent monopoly for the better part of 25 yrs Meaning the value Google captured from Search was but a small fraction of the value it created, and that spread produced a potential energy that justified expectations of high earnings growth far, far into the future This is now no longer the case At the alter of AI capex, Google is sacrificing the golden goose

@lisamurkowski We are all disenfranchised when illegals vote. It’s a very large number now that affects outcomes. Enough of your contradictions. Do what’s right.

7 elite drills for speed

I am going to make a claim that will get me attacked by cardiologists, pharmaceutical companies, and most of the medical establishment. Heart disease can be cured without drugs. Not managed. Not reduced. Cured. I do not mean in theory. I mean there are populations on earth right now with virtually zero heart disease. No statins. No PCSK9 inhibitors. No cardiologists. Clean arteries into their 80s. And the reason they have no heart disease is not genetics. It is not luck. It is not low cholesterol. It is because they never triggered the mechanism that causes the disease in the first place. That mechanism is taught in every medical school. It has been understood for over 25 years. And it proves that heart disease is a chain of events that can be broken at multiple points without a single drug. Let me show you.

The smartest way of using a Trump account for your kids: 1 - Contribute as much as you can every year when they are growing up 2 - At the age of 18, it automatically becomes a Traditional IRA At that point, you can start converting it to a Roth IRA Part of the converted amounts (the investment gains) are subject to taxes, but you can stagger the conversion over a few years to keep it tax-efficient 3 - Now, you unlock two big benefits: First, the amount converted is something your kids can access 5 years after conversion both tax-free and penalty-free... at any time, for any reason Secondly, your children now have a massive base in a Roth IRA at a very young age that keeps growing and compounding Left alone, even with no new dollars after age 18, your kids Roth IRA can compound to 8-figures by the time they retire And since it's now in a Roth IRA, they would owe no taxes
