Having to explain to my wife why I had tears in my eyes after a National League playoff semi final that happened last year, but not on our wedding day. Football, bloody hell….

For its age (5 years) PS5 is really well crafted. Punching above its weight class, often times even outmatching the more powerful (and therefore more expensive to produce) Xbox Series X. Let alone Switch 2 (2025) and Steam Machine (2026). Lead platform for GTA VI & The Witcher 4.

I missed this when it aired, but on the Halloween edition of Futbol Americas, Herculez Gomez (herculez gomez) and Sebastian Salazar (Sebastian Salazar) discussed which MLS teams are the league’s worst spenders, with the Philadelphia Union among those mentioned. Salazar shared: “The fans are intense in Philly. I know it’s a little bit off the beaten path; they might not be as big as the Flyers, the Phillies, or the Eagles, but Union fans care. Andre Blake cares, Herc—he was on this show at the beginning of the season, practically begging ownership to spend money. After years of punching above their weight, of Jim Curtin dragging more out of the Union than you’d expect, he’s rewarded with ownership giving him just the 26th-highest budget in the league. And what happened? The Union missed the playoffs. Shame on their ownership, and a challenge to Union ownership: You cannot pretend to be Major League and spend just $13.81 million on your entire roster. Shame on you. Union fans deserve better.” You can catch their show on ESPN/WatchESPN. #doop #espn #futbolamericas 📹: ESPN+

🚨 BREAKING: PRESIDENT TRUMP CANCELS STRIKE AGAINST IRAN, originally set for TOMORROW 47 says a deal could be near 🇺🇸 "This Deal will include, importantly, NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS FOR IRAN!" But a LARGE SCALE ASSAULT is planned if Iran refuses. "I have been asked by the Emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, and the President of the United Arab Emirates, Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, to hold off on our planned Military attack of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which was scheduled for tomorrow, in that serious negotiations are now taking place, and that, in their opinion, as Great Leaders and Allies, a Deal will be made, which will be very acceptable to the United States of America, as well as all Countries in the Middle East, and beyond." "Based on my respect for the above mentioned Leaders, I have instructed Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, The Chairman of The Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Daniel Caine, and The United States Military, that we will NOT be doing the scheduled attack of Iran tomorrow, but have further instructed them to be prepared to go forward with a full, large scale assault of Iran, on a moment’s notice, in the event that an acceptable Deal is not reached."

As per World Bank, we need 2.15 dollars per day to stay above poverty line. In that 2 dollars, less than a dollar goes on diet. But on an average, middle class people spend 3-5 dollars on their diet every day. If we compare with average richer classes, per day expenditure is 40-50 dollars a day. Does not include fancy restaurants or Butler services. Or wine, whiskey etc. Just food. 8 to 10 times expenditure gap with the middle class and 50 times gap with a person just at poverty level of 2 dollars. What does that difference get you? Best quality food! Steaks aren’t cheap, allergy based diets and substitutes to the products which you cannot digest. Like almond milk in place of skim/fat milk. At 3 dollars per day, it is obvious that the body is recharged with wheat, rice, pulses, milk, millets, potatoes and every agency will tell you that it is healthy and best. They cannot tell a 3 dollar guy that he gotta spend 20-25 dollars per day. As you go up, you can pick things you want to eat. Best quality of those things eventually. You can choose to be a picky eater and not worry about 30 rupees delivery fee Zomato is charging. This is why actors, athletes etc revamp their diets when they rise socioeconomic ladders. They won’t be eating 1 kg rajma after that like they did in hostel days. You have to be conscious about it. When you rise your socioeconomic strata, your diet must reflect that. Otherwise, there was no point. You could just stay at 3-5 dollars a day level and live happily ever after.

Most $TAO holders staking right now are trusting the wrong validators. Not because they are careless. Because nobody explained what the numbers on the Validators page actually mean. There is a tool inside Taostats that shows you exactly which validators are genuinely working and which ones are collecting your emissions without contributing anything to the network. It is free. It is live. And almost nobody is using it correctly. Here is exactly how to read it. Step 1: Understand what Dominance actually measures. Dominance is not popularity. It is not a ranking of which validator is best. It describes a validator's Stake Weight as a percentage of all validator stake weights combined across the network. Stake Weight is calculated as: root stake multiplied by 0.18, plus all alpha staked across subnets converted into TAO. Root stake is deliberately discounted at 18 percent of its face value. Alpha stake carries the full weight. This means a validator with deep subnet-level staking is structurally more powerful than one sitting purely on root, even if their raw TAO numbers look similar on the surface. When you see a validator with rising Dominance over time, it is not just getting more popular. It is getting more alpha stake directed toward it across active subnets. That is a meaningful signal about where serious capital is moving inside the network. Step 2: Check the Take percentage before you delegate anything. Take is the percentage of emissions the validator keeps for itself. Everything above that number flows to you as a nominator. A validator with a 18 percent Take keeps 18 percent of the emissions their position generates and distributes the remainder to stakeholders. A validator with a 50 percent Take is keeping half of what your stake earns. Most people never look at this number before delegating. It is the first number you should check. A high Take is not automatically a red flag if the validator is genuinely performing well and contributing to the network. But a high Take combined with low VTrust in their subnet performance page is the exact combination that should make you move your stake immediately. Step 3: Open the Validator Performance page and find the VTrust score. This is the number most holders never see. VTrust measures how closely a validator's weight assignments align with the honest stake-weighted majority across the network inside each subnet they operate in. Validators are responsible for evaluating miner output and assigning scores. Those scores go into Yuma Consensus and determine which miners earn emissions. A validator doing genuine evaluation work will have weights that align closely with the honest consensus. High VTrust. Consistent emissions. Reliable nominator returns. A validator that is weight copying, meaning they are simply copying the Yuma consensus scores back onto themselves rather than doing real evaluation, will show a flagged return on Taostats. Their nom/24hr/1k TAO score appears in red. This is Taostats telling you directly: this validator is extracting value from the network without contributing to it. When you stake to a weight copying validator, you are funding a free rider. Step 4: Watch the 24hr Nominator Change column. This number moves fast and it tells you something before any other signal does. A validator losing nominators over consecutive days is a validator that informed stakers are quietly leaving. A validator gaining nominators rapidly while their VTrust is healthy is a validator attracting attention for the right reasons. The 24hr column is the on-chain version of sentiment before sentiment becomes a narrative on social media. Step 5: Check Active subnets alongside Total Weight. Active tells you the number of subnets where the validator has a parent or child hotkey running. A validator with high Total Weight but low Active subnets is concentrated. They are running a specific strategy in specific markets. A validator with broad Active coverage across many subnets is building a wider surface area for emissions and is more exposed to the overall network performance rather than any single subnet cycle. Neither is inherently better. But knowing which type of validator you are delegating to tells you what you are actually betting on when you stake. Step 6: Check the Weight Change column over time. Total Weight is a snapshot. Weight Change is momentum. A validator with stable or growing Total Weight over consecutive days is attracting net new stake consistently. A validator with declining Weight Change is losing stake faster than it is gaining it. Most people look at the current number. The people positioning correctly are watching which direction the number is moving and how fast. The difference between a good validator and a dangerous one is not obvious from the outside. It is not the name. It is not the size. It is the VTrust score, the Take percentage, the nominator trend, and whether Taostats is showing their return in red or not. Every one of those signals is sitting on the Validators page right now. Free. Live. Updated every block. The investors who read the data layer before the narrative layer will not need to explain their staking decisions later. Open Taostats tonight. You will want to find this post when you do.

During World War 2, a young engineer named Kelly Johnson working out of a circus tent with a skeleton crew developed America’s first jet fighter in less than six months. Twenty years later, the same engineer developed the blackbird spy plane in less than two years. No one believes American industry is capable of that now. American innovation today is not about the physical world around us but about the digital world Big tech wants us to live in and exotic new financial instruments that wall street develops. Look at recent headlines to see what our best and brightest are up to. Facebook spent billions on the metaverse only to abandon it to go all in on AI. DoorDash lets you use buy now, pay later services to pay for your burrito in six equal installments. And in a move that would have Kelly Johnson rolling in his grave, Boom supersonic, a start-up originally planning to bring back supersonic jet flights, announced it will use its research to power an ai data center. If we want to power the future and restore America’s position as the world’s most technologically advanced country, we must do better. We need an America first industrial policy. The Trump Administration’s tariff policy is only one element to address this. Another critical tool to addressing this problem is the power of the federal contract. Trillions spent, headline our government spends trillions of your dollars buying products across the globe. You don’t need a great long-term memory to understand how the international supply chain failures hurt the United States during COVID. It’s one thing to wait six months for a Peloton. It’s another to wait six months for materials needed for our national defense. The defense sector in the United States should be the home to great engineers and doers, not bureaucrats and middle-men. The current status of that sector leaves much to be desired and reflects many of the problems attendant to our administrative state. It is bloated, slow, reliant on timelines, specifications, and proposals, and consolidated amongst a blob of A few major defense prime contractors that gobble up nearly 90% of the defense budget. Meanwhile, the alleged best technological talent in America holds little allegiance to this nation. They reject the notion of even being called American companies, turning their back on the idea of serving the nation to which they owe their existence. Their focus is on profit by selling more and more ads for more and more products made overseas. Their understanding and appreciation of America centers George Floyd above George Washington. What have these people truly invented as of late, anyways? AI generated videos to keep you scrolling? And these are the people, and the major donors as of late, we trust to guide American policy into the artificial intelligence age? This is a problem on both sides. A bloated procurement bureaucracy and defense and tech giants more focused on profit than innovating. We don’t just need government reform, we also need elite reform. It’s time for a renewal and return to a better time when innovation was paired with patriotism, with a government designed to sustain both the good news is that a gigantic federal defense budget provides ample ammunition to solve this problem. We need not only the best and brightest to come and serve their nation in various capacities, but the biggest dreamers. The biggest innovators. America’s engines of production and innovation need to be humming in a rhythm, focused squarely on our global power competition and domestic renewal. With President Trump in office and Secretary Hegseth at the helm of the department of war, this is entirely possible. It is also entirely needed. Let’s make sure American hardware is also hard-wired with the heart and soul of a patriotic class of innovators. Let’s have an America where corporate success requires nationalistic pride. Spirit and duty, it’s happened before and it can happen again. (12/10 monologue on Fine Point w/ Chanel Rion )

── A Family of Three in the Same Class 2《 #一家三口在同班2 》 #WangXiaoyi #ZhangChi #WangYilei As expected, it was worth the wait & didn't disappoint. Wang Xiaoyi, Zhang Chi & Wang Yilei absolutely nailed their performances 🔥👏 Their family bond felt so genuine that I was completely moved—I ended up crying my eyes out 😭😭 This was my most anticipated short drama sequel, and it definitely didn’t disappoint. Season 1 set the bar high, but Season 2 not only lived up to my expectations—it surpassed them. The story is well-crafted, logically consistent, and expands beautifully on details from the first season. Season 1 follows Ansheng as his parents help heal his childhood regrets, while Season 2 sees Chen Ansheng travel back to 1984 to witness and become part of his parents’ love story, ultimately becoming the answer to their destiny❤️✨ Chen Shi is a brave, independent, and resilient woman who overcame immense hardships from a young age. Despite losing her parents, leaving school to work, caring for elderly relatives, and facing illness and social prejudice, she never lost her dignity or determination. She continually worked to improve herself, stood up to manipulation, and remained calm, self-respecting, and strong in the face of every challenge. Yu Zhiming may come from a wealthy family, but his life is shaped by strict, controlling parents and heavy expectations. Despite this, he develops a strong sense of integrity and the courage to resist their control. In love, he is loyal and unwavering—supporting Chen Shi’s dreams, standing by her through every challenge, and never abandoning her despite his parents’ opposition. Together, they choose honesty, trust, and each other, no matter what the future holds. Chen Ansheng remains playful and mischievous, but he loves his parents deeply. When he travels back in time, he helps his father win his mother's heart and becomes the guardian of their love story. More than anything, he wants his mother to have a happy future, even if that future doesn't include him. Once the child who was protected, Ansheng grows into a protector himself—helping his mother expose scams, clear her name, support her through her exams, and even donating bone marrow to save her life 🥺😭 The two scenes that hit me the hardest were when Chen Shi and Ansheng were separated by a screen during her illness, yet still smiled and comforted each other, and when Ansheng chose to protect his mother’s happiness even though he knew he would disappear. I cried so hard—one moment I was laughing, the next I was in tears. Family-centered emotional scenes always hit me the deepest 🤧😭😭 “You are not an outsider—you were part of the path all along.” Everything was foreshadowed from the start. The factory-worker photo, Chen Shi’s love for roses, and even her treasured guitar all traced back to Ansheng. No matter the timeline, Chen Ansheng remains part of this family’s journey. After disappearing in 1984, he returns to 2005, where his young parents are still by his side, and the family continues moving forward together, supporting one another. This drama is absolutely worth watching. Unlike many unnecessary sequels, it delivers every callback and payoff perfectly. The story unfolds piece by piece, with every detail fitting into place. Director Wang Yixia and screenwriter Zhang Luting did an amazing job. 👏🔥 Looking forward to a possible Season 3! ────────────────── For now, there’s no English-subbed version uploaded yet. If I find one later, I’ll update it here 😊

After disappearing in 1984, he returns to 2005, where his young parents are still by his side, and the family continues moving forward together, supporting one another. This drama is absolutely worth watching. Unlike many unnecessary sequels, it delivers every callback and payoff perfectly. The story unfolds piece by piece, with every detail fitting into place. Director Wang Yixia and screenwriter Zhang Luting did an amazing job. 👏🔥 Looking forward to a possible Season 3! ────────────────── For now, there’s no English-subbed version uploaded yet. If I find one later, I’ll update it here 😊

Currency Wars with Simon Dixon - Full Interview Simon Dixon When I published The State of Our Currencies in the spring of 2020, I observed that we were in a global currency war, stating: “[I]t is essential to realize that we live and transact in a transition time between two systems.” The U.S. dollar as global reserve currency is the current system—the second system, I wrote, is “in the invention room.” In the intervening years, the currency wars have heated up, and Mr. Global’s invention room is spitting out more and more tools to implement programmable money on distributed ledgers and the digital IDs and local hardware to make the system go. This week, British entrepreneur, Bitcoin investor, and geofinancial analyst Simon Dixon helps us take stock of these fast-moving developments. Like me, Dixon has a long-standing interest in “missing money”—which arose after the dot-com crash of 2000 wiped out his father’s pension—and like me, he found that asking inconvenient questions about a “corrupt banking and financial industry” was not compatible with his prior career in investment banking. Given our mutual passion for freedom and building wealth, this is a conversation you will not want to miss. We start by discussing the rise of stablecoins, the passage of the GENIUS Act, and stablecoins’ potential impact on the dollar and Treasury Bill markets as well as on local economies. We also take a look at asset tokens and assess the implications of the not-yet-passed CLARITY Act. Wall Street leaders speak openly about their plans to use tokens to trade securities and assets—but the specifics of what they have in mind are far from clear. Other topics of discussion include the role of Bitcoin in the emerging financial system, the U.S. Bitcoin Strategic Reserve being funded with seizures, and the role of the “multiple CBDC” platform mBridge—a cross-border payment and foreign exchange transaction system initially piloted by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) in collaboration with central banks in Hong Kong, Thailand, China, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia. We conclude with the question of the day: How do we stop the control grid? Dixon agrees about the dangers of programmable money. He continues to be a Bitcoin enthusiast in the face of Wall Street’s embrace of crypto and stresses the importance of self-custody and not leveraging Bitcoin positions. His website offers information about self-custody and a fascinating podcast, Bitcoin Hard Talk, that connects the dots between financial markets and geopolitics. Full Report: Subscribe to

Over the last decade, a consensus has grown on the Left and Right that the US needs to be more self-sufficient when it comes to manufacturing. During Covid, we discovered we didn’t make much of the equipment we needed to deal with a pandemic and were thus dependent on other nations, and so Congress passed and Trump signed the CARES Act in part to spend money to support domestic manufacturing of medical supplies. In 2022, a bipartisan majority in Congress passed the CHIPS Act to bring semiconductor manufacturing back to the U.S. out of the recognition that we had become dangerously dependent on foreign nations for microchips, which have become general-purpose technologies, necessary for national security, and upon which the AI revolution will be built. Where America had a $38 billion trade surplus in 1991 on advanced technology manufacturing, today it has a $299 billion deficit. Liberals and conservatives, Leftists and Rightists, have long shared a broad agreement that manufacturing and its knock-on industries are an essential source of employment for non-college-educated working-class people, and that the loss of manufacturing contributed to social fragmentation, family breakdown, and the drug addiction and death crisis. In a 2024 survey, Americans agreed ten to one that “we need a stronger manufacturing sector; 47% said America suffered from globalization, while 33% said it benefited. It is partly for that reason that Joe Biden, in perhaps the most bipartisan and non-ideological decision of his presidency, kept in place the tariffs imposed by Donald Trump during his first term as president. And yet both liberals and many conservatives are reacting with outrage as President Donald Trump puts in place precisely the trade tariffs needed to reduce our dangerous dependency on other nations and increase our manufacturing of the goods we need for national security, economic security, and societal wellbeing. The China tariffs, the CARES Act, and the CHIPS Act did not result in the return of much manufacturing, much less the rebalancing of trade. Total manufacturing jobsare 12.8 million in December 2019 and are 12.8 million today. The US still depends on China and other nations for active pharmaceutical ingredients, personal protective equipment, microchips, and critical minerals. Suffice to say, we are a very long way from a manufacturing renaissance sufficiently robust to revitalize the communities that have lost good, high-wage jobs to China and other competitors and even rivals internationally. The reason is clear. The average tariff level globally is 6.7% compared to America’s 2.7%. And simply subsidizing industries may not be enough for two major semiconductor manufacturers, Intel and TSMC, to produce domestically without tariffs. US President Donald Trump delivers remarks on reciprocal tariffs during an event in the Rose Garden entitled "Make America Wealthy Again" at the White House in Washington, DC, on April 2, 2025. Trump geared up to unveil sweeping new "Liberation Day" tariffs in a move that threatens to ignite a devastating global trade war. Key US trading partners including the European Union and Britain said they were preparing their responses to Trump's escalation, as nervous markets fell in Europe and America. (Photo by Brendan SMIALOWSKI / AFP) (Photo by BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI/AFP via Getty Images)📷 Anti-tariff liberals and conservatives say Trump’s actions will destroy people’s retirement savings by crashing the stock market, and will undermine the comparative advantage of other nations producing products we shouldn’t. And, they say, our goal should not be to return manufacturing to the United States, except for a few exceptions, which Congress has already made. For centuries, economists have argued that some nations, such as poorer ones, are more suited to produce many products than richer ones. Americans making t-shirts at $20 per hour are less efficient than the Vietnamese making them for $3 per hour. And the US should not be trying to replace perfectly reasonable products to import, like aluminum from Canada, which we have no reason to ever go to war with, and which has access to cheap hydroelectricity to make it. Over half of American families have money in the stock market, and they will all suffer, anti-tariff liberals and conservatives say. The economic system we have had since World War II has worked to maximize win-win relationships that result in poorer nations climbing the development ladder with manufacturing and wealthier nations like the US focused on services. But it’s unwise to evaluate policies based on the short-term impact of the stock market. Anti-tariff voices grossly overstate the comparative advantage when it comes to manufacturing, and the postwar system, economically and militarily, is no longer in the interests of non-college-educated Americans, who are both more vulnerable and more numerous than the college-educated elite. There is no need to bring back a significant amount of low-skill and nonstrategic manufacturing like T-shirts, and Trump has not advocated that. America may need to bring back some low-skill jobs, such as manufacturing protective gear. But our priority should rightly be high-skill manufacturing, and CARES, CHIPS, and the Trump-Biden China were, obviously, not enough. It may be fine to rely on Canada for aluminum. But the tariffs against it and Mexico, as well as Trump’s stated desire to make it the 51st state, should be viewed as the president negotiating in preparation for upcoming trade talks between the three countries. While offshoring manufacturing policies benefited multinational corporations, bankers, and consumers, they often devastated communities built on manufacturing, mining, and manual labor. US companies moved production to countries with lower labor costs, fewer regulations, and subsidized exports. Economists calculate that just the so-called “China Shock,” that country’s entry into the World Trade Organization, alone cost the U.S. 2.4 million jobs and had ripple effects across entire communities. The average manufacturing wage is $103,000 per year compared to $37,000 per year for the average service sector wage. And where a service sector job supports 2 to 3 jobs, a manufacturing job supports nine jobs. Continuing with a system that is fundamentally advantageous to a minority of the country and disadvantageous to a majority is not sustainable and unwise to prop up. Trump’s trade actions are part of a broader return to nationalism underway globally, and they can’t be understood on economic grounds alone. Regarding priorities, we should put the two-thirds of the country that is non-college educated working-class ahead of the 50% of the country who own stocks, for moral and democratic reasons. America is deeply divided. While there are many proximate reasons for this, including geographic sorting, cable TV, and social media, the underlying reasons are economic. The gulf between the educated elites and the non-educated working class has grown dangerously large. Many critics of the tariffs are well-intentioned. They are right to worry that they could come with significant economic costs and disruption. The concern of many of them is genuinely for the working class and poor, who higher prices for imported goods would most harm. However, many American elites today identify more with their global counterparts than their fellow Americans. And that’s a huge problem. In his study of 21 civilizations, British historian Arnold J. Toynbee found that civilizations collapse not simply from external invasion but from internal decay, precisely when their elites stop identifying with the people. “Civilizations die from suicide,” he famously wrote, “not murder.” Civilizations all depend on their elites, Toynbee noted, or the people he called the “creative minority.” But rising success creates decadence, complacency, and eventually contempt toward their people, and they start to identify with elites in other nations. This is all a natural outgrowth of trade, cosmopolitanism, and snobbery. It starts to view the ordinary people as “deplorables.” At this point, the elite lose their creativity and become simply the “dominant minority,” one that rules no longer by example but rather by manipulation or force. Toynbee could be describing America in the 21st Century. College-educated elites look down on the American working class and identify with other professional and managerial elites in Europe and other nations. They sympathize less with the low-skilled American citizen born here and more with the low-skilled foreign migrant here illegally. Such elites are more concerned with tariffs' impact on their stock portfolio and the cost of their gadgets than they are with the downward pressure illegal migrants put on wages or with how nations manipulate their currency to retain manufacturing. Toynbee said that, at this stage of development, a nation’s elites become “parasites or renegades,” alienated and contemptuous toward the culture that produced them. Civilizations at this late stage are morally hollow and thus fragile and prone to abuses of power, like censorship, lawfare, and the weaponization of government agencies. And these civilizations disparage their traditions in ways that the American elites have disparaged America’s founding and its history as essentially evil, due to the unavoidable tragedy of indigenous genocide and slavery, even though a civil war that killed over 600,000 people was fought to end it. But Toynbee didn’t believe that civilizational collapse was inevitable; some societies can snap back....

Jimmy Dore interviews RG911/AE911 - The Hard WTC Evidence - Official 9/11 Story COLLAPSING! Bringing Tens of Thousands of Newcomers to the 9/11 Truth | Watch along with them! — 45 Minutes Jimmy posted today our LIVE interview with him from the other day. He encouraged us to share all the evidence we could in our limited time with him - and we did! I was joined by structural engineer Kamal Obeid from Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth who addressed key issues including the impossibility of the free-fall collapse of World Trade Center Building 7. We addressed as many key points as we possibly could in the 45 minutes that we had: 1. The importance of the truth-telling that WI Senator Ron Johnson and former Congressman Curt Weldon are all about right now. Jimmy played excerpts of the Senator’s WTC comments on The Benny Show including “molten metal…controlled demolition…Calling Out Bravo 7 documentary.” We are making sure that the Senator has the solid body of evidence that will back up his historic efforts to get a real 9/11 investigation. We addressed these questions among many others on Jimmy Dore: 1. Why didn’t the American Institute of Architects issue even one bulletin on the catastrophic unprecedented destruction of 47-story World Trade Center Building 7 — the third worst structural failure in history? 2. Why didn’t NIST (National Institute of Standards & Technology) include in their 2004 report on the Twin Towers the 156 first responders who saw, heard, and experienced explosions? And many of them before the collapse of the towers? 3. Why did NIST persist with their theory that the top section crush the building section below while maintaining a near free-fall acceleration (when the top section was in fact destroyed in the first 3 seconds) — as if 90% of the steel gave no resistance whatsoever? 4. What caused the hundreds of laterally-ejected freely-flying 4-ton structural steel sections, at 80mph, landing 600 feet in every direction impaling themselves in skyscrapers all around them? 5. What cause the complete pulverization of 110 acre-sized concrete floors — 90,000 tons of concrete in each tower, and dispersed it from river to river across Lower Manhattan? 6. What was crushing the lower section of each tower, if the above steel and concrete, which was 2/3 of their weight, was NOT even available to crush it?! The above questions were just the beginning of the 7-dozen key points of forensic, video, and eyewitness testimony that we laid on Jimmy. Please let us know how you think we did. There’s always room for improvement. Learn more about the WTC evidence at We send out to YOU another huge thanks to those who funding our new PR professional who has already obtained a number of interviews for us in addition to the big one.

It was a privilege to be part of the largest diplomatic delegation to ever visit the state of Israel. The 250 state legislators were a contingent of Republicans and Democrats who traveled from every state in America. While in Israel, we visited Jewish, Christian and Muslim holy sites as well as the site where the Nova Festival massacre took place and where over 400 young partygoers were murdered and where hundreds more were raped, tortured and taken hostage by the Hamas terrorist group. We also visited the Be’eri Kibbutz, where farmers, with just 10 rifles allowed in the entire community, were viciously slaughtered by thousands of terrorists. Many of them had to watch as their children were burned alive in front of them. The burned and bullet-riddled homes in the kibbutz were a shock to our senses, and they stand today as a monument to the blind hatred so many have towards Israel and the Jewish community. The invasion by Hamas on October 7th was just one front of the coordinated attack on Israel. While Hamas attacked from the ground, Hezbollah and the Houthis attacked Israel from the air with rockets and drones, which are provided by the Iranian regime. Their determination to destroy Israel continues to this day. While we were in Israel, our delegation had to seek protective shelter 3 times in 5 days due to rockets launched towards us. As we travel home, we have been made aware of a protest against the false claim of genocide of Palestinians. If Israel has genocidal intent, they’re sure bad at it. Just one day of bombing Gaza (with the capabilities the Israeli Army and Air Force has) would utterly destroy them, but instead the IDF does everything possible to avoid killing Gazan civilians who are being used as human shields. They strive to limit casualties by warning Gazans ahead of time to leave battle zones with millions of text messages, phone calls, dropping leaflets, and making smaller targeted attacks. Since the beginning of the war, Israel has made it clear that Hamas must return all of the hostages - including 2 Americans for the war to end. Once this happens, the war will end, and rebuilding can start for both sides. Unfortunately, Hamas has no intention of keeping any cease-fire deal. They prefer to sacrifice their own people in order to gain sympathy from the unknowing public. If we're being honest, Americans would never put up with daily rocket fire into our country or the blatant torture, rape and murder of our women and children by neighboring countries. Venezuelan Narco-Terrorists who are flooding our streets with their poison should take note of this. Israel must be allowed to protect their citizens, as well as the 750,000 Americans who live within their borders, as a matter of fact, the United States should demand it.

$Shabbos Kestenbaum: I’m deeply troubled by foreign influence in the U.S. government. Just last week, the Department of Education, under Section 117 of the Higher Education Act, found that Qatar alone had spent $6 billion on American colleges and universities. Why is Qatar paying American institutions of higher learning? It also deeply concerns me that there are so many Chinese communists at Harvard University that the Chinese Communist Party reportedly refers to the Harvard Kennedy School as “their party school.” I’m equally disturbed by well-documented Russian influence campaigns, including the use of consulates, like the one near where I live in Riverdale, New York, to spy on and conduct espionage against Americans. But let’s be honest: no one in this room, and no one in our political culture or media, seems to care about any of that. As my opponent just demonstrated, the only country they are singularly obsessed with is Israel. You didn’t mention any other country in a topic that didn’t even include the word Israel. But fine, let’s talk about Israel. Israel is a country that, just three years after gas chambers and crematoria, managed to defeat seven Arab Islamist armies. It is a nation of about nine million people, yet it has more Nobel Prize winners than China and India combined. Israel grants full and equal rights to Jews and Arabs alike, so much so that an Arab Supreme Court justice, Salim Joubran, sentenced a Jewish prime minister, Ehud Olmert, to prison. There is no other country in the Middle East where Jews and Muslims have full, guaranteed equal rights. Before discussing Israel’s virtues further, let’s talk about American foreign policy. The Federalist Papers are filled with references to treaties and the importance of what the Founders called common defense. They understood that the government’s most sacred duty is to protect its people, often through foreign alliances. America’s first war as a nation was the Barbary War, fought to stop Islamist piracy in the Mediterranean, because President Thomas Jefferson recognized that threats abroad become threats at home. The idea that nations don’t need mutually beneficial alliances is historically absurd. Which brings us back to Israel. What does the United States gain from its relationship with Israel? A great deal. U.S. Abrams tanks use the Trophy active protection system, designed and developed in Israel. The U.S. Marine Corps uses the most advanced shoulder-launched bunker-busting weapon in the world, based on an Israeli design. American fighter pilots use helmet-mounted targeting systems developed by Israel’s Elbit Systems. Much of the U.S. UAV fleet is based on Israeli designs used as far back as the Gulf War. Just last week, Israel announced completion of Iron Beam, a system that can shoot down rockets, mortars, and drones at a fraction of the cost. Israel is also the only country that buys American F-35s and then improves them, modifications later resold by the U.S. to other allies. Israel was among the first to fly the F-15, F-16, and F-35 in real combat, providing invaluable battlefield data that saves the Pentagon years of research and development and helps the U.S. compete with Russia and China. This is a partnership, not a charity. Israeli tunnel-detection technology used against Hezbollah is now used by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security against cartel tunnels on the southern border. Israel’s Mossad raided Iran’s nuclear archives in Tehran. When the United States needs human intelligence in the Middle East, there is only one country it turns to, and we all know which one that is.

If you're a Christian man, it is obvious to see that the world is controlled by Satan. Everywhere you look, we see evidence of this—from entertainment to politics to social media. It is clear that the enemy's agenda is at play, and it's an agenda designed to sabotage the men who have influence in the kingdom of God. And if you’re an entrepreneur who’s been struggling with your weight… You are being affected by this satanic agenda. Why Your Health Is Under Spiritual Attack: My name is Gabe Pluguez, and since 2019, alongside my business partner Joey Yochheim | Default Kings , we’ve been helping men break free from unhealthy patterns—for good. And we don’t just help men “get in shape.” We teach them a faith-based approach to changing their unhealthy habits so that they actually keep the weight off permanently. Like Jim— shown in the video, a 70-year-old C-suite executive who lost 53 lbs in 5 months, kept it off through the holidays, and has sustained it since after working together. Like Alex— shown in the video, a crypto entrepreneur and a dad of one who’s lost more than 40 lbs, has gotten abs, competes in Jiu-Jitsu, and has kept it off for over 2 years since after working together. Like Gavin— shown in the video, a 50-year-old father of six who was busy running multiple businesses but still lost 32 lbs in just 12 weeks. Or like Vinnie— shown in the video, an entrepreneur who’s lost 50 lbs and has kept it off for over 2 years since after working together. So here’s the thing. You already know the truth. You know that you shouldn’t be eating garbage. You know that you should be exercising consistently. You know that God made you in His image and that you’re designed to be strong and actually commanded to honor the body He gave you to carry out His mission for your life. Yet… that's not the reality you're experiencing. Why You Keep Failing to Fix This (Romans 7:15) You're experiencing exactly what Paul talks about in Romans 7:15: “I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do, I do not do, but what I hate, I do.” These are your unhealthy default actions. And if you’re like most Christian entrepreneurs, you’re probably sacrificing your health at the altar of your business. You tell yourself: • “I’ll fix it later.” • “Business and family obligations come before me.” But here’s something that might make you uneasy… That is the exact lie that the enemy wants you to believe. The Lie That’s Keeping You Weak, Tired, and Ineffective: Satan wants you to believe the lie that you are incapable of honoring your body while stewarding everything else. He wants you: ❌ Exhausted ❌ Weakened ❌ A slave to gluttony and sloth ❌ To set a poor example to the people you’re called to lead And additionally... Satan wants you dead... Early... Because if your body is weak, you’re easier to tempt. If you’re out of control, you have less influence over the people you’re supposed to lead. And if you die early—then you’re not even here. And maybe you’ve known this for a while. You’ve tried keto, intermittent fasting, Weight Watchers, Personal Trainers, or even Ozempic… But here’s the part you haven’t heard before. You’ve Been Lied To. You’ve been trying to use a temporary Band-Aid on a spiritual wound. Mainstream diet methods promise a quick fix… but they leave you discouraged and defeated. That’s why studies show that 90% of people who try these diets gain the weight back. And after so many repeated failures, you start to accept the lie from the enemy— “I just can’t figure out this one area of life.” And here’s what makes it even worse. Your pastors aren’t helping—they don’t talk about gluttony because they’re still struggling with it themselves. Other Christians make it harder. They say: 💬 "It’s no big deal!" 💬 "God gives you grace!" 💬 "Come on, one donut won’t hurt!" But I need you to ask yourself: Are the men telling you this the type of men you respect? Are they disciplined? Are they leading by example? Or are they justifying their own addiction to comfort? How I Know Exactly What You’re Feeling: Maybe you’re reading this, and you already know all of this. You know you shouldn’t be eating junk… but you do. You know you should be working out… but you skip it. You know you should stop turning to food for comfort… but you still do. And if you’re feeling convicted right now, I understand. Because I was once enslaved to sin in the exact same way. For over a decade, I was addicted to pornography. I was having premarital sex while still trying to be a Christian leader. I read my Bible, went to church, and knew exactly what I needed to do… Yet I kept falling into the same old pattern. I felt like I fraud. And, there was even this moment when I was finally convicted—just like you are now. I told my ex-fiance: “We’re not having sex anymore.” She looked me dead in the eyes and said: “If we’re not going to do that, then I’m leaving.” And I looked right back at her and said: “Okay. Leave. I choose Jesus.” She walked out the door. And I was proud of myself. I thought: “Thank you, Lord, for the strength to make this decision. I can finally honor You.” And then… Less than 24 hours later, I completely caved. I went right back to the very sin I swore to leave behind. And I remember standing in the bathroom afterward, looking in the mirror, so disgusted with myself that I couldn’t even make eye contact with my own reflection. I had completely lost hope. I told the devil: "You win." But that was a lie. And what I experienced next completely changed my life— And it’s the exact same process that will change yours. The Turning Point: How Everything Changed When I applied the process that I’m going to share with you today, not only did everything change… I experienced blessings in this area of my life that were so far beyond anything I had ever imagined. I broke free from addiction, married the love of my life, started working on a family, and 10x'ed my business, all while staying consistent and leveling up in my own fitness And that’s when I realized: 👉 This isn’t just about losing weight. 👉 This isn’t just about not being fat anymore. This is about the blessings that God has for you on the other side of discipline—blessings so powerful, so life-changing, that once you experience them, you will be incapable of doing anything except saying, “Glory to You, Lord.” How Do You Actually Go About Doing This? This is the exact process that I’ve helped over 800 guys (at the time of this post) go through inside our Christian-focused coaching company, Joey and I were responsible for all the transformations you'll see at These were men just like you. Men who were: • Losing weight temporarily but always gaining it back. • Struggling with multi-decade-long food addictions. • Convicted that they were called for more. • Fathers, husbands, even pastors—who knew God could redeem this area of their life but struggled to connect their faith to their fitness. But they finally broke free. And there were three key things that made that transformation possible. #1: They Changed the Unhealthy Default Actions That Were Keeping Them Stuck All of these men were struggling with things like: ❌ Overeating and mindless snacking ❌ Skipping workouts ❌ Eating late at night, binge eating ❌ Hitting snooze, sleeping in ❌ Overdrinking, struggling with food addiction ❌ Falling off the wagon on weekends, vacations, or business travel And worst of all? 👉 They would lose some weight… then let their habits slip again… which led to the weight coming back. 👉 Their body fat affected not just how they fit in clothes, but how other people saw them—even their daughters and wives started noticing and nagging them about it. 👉 For some of them, their hearts had become ticking time bombs, and they knew if they didn’t change, they would eventually suffer consequences that affected not just them, but their families and marriages. And even though you would think these things would be motivating enough… Like you’re probably thinking right now, “I should be motivated enough to change.” They were still choosing: ❌ Comfort over discipline. ❌ Food over their families. ❌ Laziness over being the leader their people needed them to be. #2: They Didn’t Have a Sustainable, Effective Approach That Worked With Their Busy Life Most of them had already tried: 📌 Dieting, weight loss challenges, personal trainers. 📌 Just trying to “get serious” and eat cleaner. 📌 Fad diets like Keto or Intermittent Fasting. 📌 Making their wife their accountability partner (which never works, because no man wants his wife to be his mommy—and no wife wants to be her husbands mommy). But nothing worked, because none of these were tailored to their bodies, goals, and lifestyle. 👉 The plans didn’t fit the busyness of home life and work. 👉 They didn’t account for vacations, networking events, or client dinners. 👉 They made them feel weird or awkward at dinner time with friends and family. 👉 The nutrition was too complicated for their wives to support. And worst of all? They were straight-up unsustainable. So they would always fall off the wagon—and the weight would always come back. #3: They Didn’t Have Real Accountability From Other Christian Men They Respected They tried using: ❌ Their wives (again—no wife wants to be their husband’s accountability partner). ❌ Their business network (but those guys were focused on business, not health). ❌ Their church groups (but their brothers in Christ didn’t have the specialized knowledge to help them actually execute). So between: ❌ Unhealthy default actions ❌ A lack of a sustainable, effective plan ❌ Not having real accountability They stayed stuck. That’s Why Default Kings Is Different We developed a system that actually works—one that helps you realign your default actions with your true identity in Christ. Because the problem isn’t that you don’t care. The problem isn’t that you’re unaware of these things. The problem is that your current system is failing you. Right now: 📌 Your default actions have brought you here. 📌 You don’t have a sustainable approach. 📌 You don’t have an effective plan. 📌 Your environment is full of people who reinforce your excuses instead of calling you higher. And every time you try to change, you keep getting pulled back into the same cycle. That’s exactly why we built Default Kings. Because this is not just another weight loss program. This is a battle plan for Christian men. A system designed to permanently rewire your habits. A system designed to rebuild your discipline. A system designed to finally help you take back control of your body and mind. Here’s What You’ll Get Inside Default Kings: 1. A Network of Christian Entrepreneurs Who Refuse to Let You Fail You’ll be surrounded by other Christian entrepreneurs who are walking the same walk. You’ll see the men who have already broken free. And when life gets hard, when you get busy, when motivation fades…This brotherhood will step in and keep you accountable. Because this isn’t just about fitness. This is about transforming into the man God called you to be. 2. The Default Actions Framework This is where the mindset shift happens. We help you reprogram your default actions at the core so that: ✅ Instead of battling cravings, you instinctively make better food choices. ✅ Instead of forcing yourself to work out, you naturally show up and execute. ✅ Instead of gaining the weight back, you become the man whose habits keep the weight off. This isn’t about forcing discipline. This is about making discipline natural. 3. A Simple, Results-Driven Eating System That Works in Real Life Forget: ❌ Extreme diets. ❌ Cutting out carbs or red meat. ❌ Being too busy to eat healthy. You’ll learn to eat in a way that actually increases your energy while still enjoying life. You will not be: ❌ That weird guy bringing Tupperware to client dinners. ❌ The guy starving himself and feeling miserable. ❌ The guy who can’t enjoy a meal with his wife and kids. This is not a temporary fix. This is a sustainable way of eating that you can stick to for good. 4. A Custom Training System Designed for Busy Christian Men Your training plan will be completely customized to fit your schedule. You don’t have time to train like a bodybuilder for 2 hours a day—so we focus on efficiency. 📌 If you can commit just 45 minutes, 3–4 times a week, you can do this. 📌 If you’re even busier, we can make it even more efficient. 📌 If you have more time and want to push harder, we’ll structure it accordingly. This isn’t just about losing weight. This is about building muscle and becoming physically capable—so that when the weight is off, you look in the mirror and see a man who reflects the strength and discipline God created you to have. 5. Direct Access to Expert Coaching and 24/7 Accountability You will not be left to figure this out alone. Inside Default Kings, you’ll have one-on-one access to: ✔️ Me ✔️ Joey ✔️ Our client success specialists Whenever you have a question, need an adjustment, or feel stuck, you will have direct access to expert support. No matter: 📌 What adjustments you need 📌 What schedule changes come up 📌 What travel plans you have We will personally make sure you stay on track. And even if you have pre-existing injuries or limitations, we will customize everything specifically for you. 6. Weekly Live Group Coaching Calls Inside the DK Inner Circle, you’ll have access to weekly group coaching calls where we’ll: 📌 Give you direct feedback to ensure you see results as quickly as possible. 📌 Help you rewire your default actions and overcome spiritual and mental barriers. 📌 Bring our faith into our fitness—yes, some of these calls will involve opening your Bible and seeing what God has to say about your health, habits, and mindset. This isn’t just physical transformation. This is spiritual transformation. 7. The Default Kings Private App Everything you need will be housed inside our private DK app, including: 📌 Your custom, step-by-step workout plans so you know exactly what to do. 📌 Structured meal guidance that adapts to your life. 📌 Real-time progress tracking so you can see how far you’ve come. No more guessing what to eat or wasting time in the gym not knowing what to do. This is a battle-tested system built to make results effortless. And yes—if you have any injuries or limitations, the entire plan will be built specifically for you. The Most Complete System Ever Created for Christian Entrepreneurs: 📌 This isn’t just another weight loss program. 📌 This isn’t a fad diet. 📌 This isn’t another “challenge” that leaves you gaining the weight back. This is the most complete system ever created for Christian men who are ready to: ✅ Change their default actions ✅ Lose the weight ✅ Keep it off—permanently And when you join Default Kings, you’re stepping into more than just a plan. 👉 You’re removing the obstacles that have kept you stuck. 👉 You’re eliminating the second-guessing and the self-doubt. 👉 You’re finally committing to a system that guarantees you never fall off track again. The Default Kings Promise: We guarantee that: ✔️ You will lose between 10–50 lbs in the next 90 days—or we’ll refund you in full. ✔️ You will keep the weight off—or we’ll refund you in full. If you follow the system, stay coachable, and engage in the process, this will be the last fitness program you will ever need. However—if you: ❌ Ignore the coaching ❌ Skip the workouts ❌ Refuse to be communicative, honest, and humble Then, of course, nothing will work. That’s why we track your progress every single day. We are personally committed to your success. 📌 If you struggle, we’ll step in. 📌 If you start to slip, we’ll call you higher. 📌 If you feel lost, we’ll guide you back. That is the entire purpose of Default Kings. We are here to make sure you win. Right Now, you are standing at a crossroads. You have three choices—and only one leads to transformation. Path #1: Do Nothing. Go back to life as it is. Click away from this page, pretend like you never saw this, open up the Uber Eats app, and order another comfort meal. Keep making excuses. Keep telling yourself, “I’ll figure it out later.” And six months from now? Nothing will change. Six years from now? You’ll still be frustrated, still lacking discipline, still convicted every time you look in the mirror—until you just accept it. And when that moment comes, you’ll wish you had taken action today. If you go that route, I pray for you and trust in God’s plan for your life. Path #2: Try to Do It Alone. You can take what you learn on X or chat GPT and try to piece together your own plan. You can do hours of research, attempt to hold yourself accountable, and try to willpower your way through it. And while that’s better than doing nothing… That’s the most common way that men fail. Because if you were capable of holding yourself accountable, you would have done it by now. If you had the time and knowledge to create a sustainable, effective, Biblically based fitness plan that works for your lifestyle, you would have done it by now. But you don’t need just another diet plan. You don’t need just another workout routine. You need a proven system that: ✅ Removes the confusion so you’re never guessing what to do next. ✅ Holds you accountable so you never fall off track again. ✅ Surrounds you with strong, Christian men who push you to succeed. ✅ Rewires your habits so that discipline becomes automatic. Going at this alone means you don’t have the coaching when you need help. It means you don’t have a group of men who can come into agreement with you about what God can do in this area of your life. It means you don’t have the battle-tested frameworks that have helped 800+ Christian men permanently transform their health. And that’s why most men who try to figure it out themselves end up right back where they started—or talking to me again six months later. Path #3: Say “Maybe.” You don’t have to say yes right now. Just say maybe. Maybe you’ve tried and failed before. Maybe you’ve thought about committing to a plan before. Maybe you know you need a real system that actually works for high-achieving Christian men. If that’s the case, then I want to make this easy for you. Instead of asking you to commit to the entire program right now, I’m asking you to commit to just a few minutes of your time for a Free Fat Loss Assessment. 📌 You’ll chat directly with me, Joey, or one of the other experts on our team. 📌 We’ll dive deep into the root cause of why you keep losing weight and gaining it back.| 📌 We’ll give you clear action steps on how to fix this permanently.| And if it makes sense, we’ll show you exactly how Default Kings works. This time is different. This time, you will win. But you have to take the first step. Click the link below and book your Free Fat Loss assessment today. 👇

If you're a Christian man, it is obvious to see that the world is controlled by Satan. Everywhere you look, we see evidence of this—from entertainment to politics to social media. It is clear that the enemy's agenda is at play, and it's an agenda designed to sabotage the men who have influence in the kingdom of God. And if you’re an entrepreneur who’s been struggling with your weight… You are being affected by this satanic agenda. Why Your Health Is Under Spiritual Attack: My name is Gabe Pluguez, and since 2019, alongside my business partner Joey Yochheim | Default Kings , we’ve been helping men break free from unhealthy patterns—for good. And we don’t just help men “get in shape.” We teach them a faith-based approach to changing their unhealthy habits so that they actually keep the weight off permanently. Like Jim— shown in the video, a 70-year-old C-suite executive who lost 53 lbs in 5 months, kept it off through the holidays, and has sustained it since after working together. Like Alex— shown in the video, a crypto entrepreneur and a dad of one who’s lost more than 40 lbs, has gotten abs, competes in Jiu-Jitsu, and has kept it off for over 2 years since after working together. Like Gavin— shown in the video, a 50-year-old father of six who was busy running multiple businesses but still lost 32 lbs in just 12 weeks. Or like Vinnie— shown in the video, an entrepreneur who’s lost 50 lbs and has kept it off for over 2 years since after working together. So here’s the thing. You already know the truth. You know that you shouldn’t be eating garbage. You know that you should be exercising consistently. You know that God made you in His image and that you’re designed to be strong and actually commanded to honor the body He gave you to carry out His mission for your life. Yet… that's not the reality you're experiencing. Why You Keep Failing to Fix This (Romans 7:15) You're experiencing exactly what Paul talks about in Romans 7:15: “I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do, I do not do, but what I hate, I do.” These are your unhealthy default actions. And if you’re like most Christian entrepreneurs, you’re probably sacrificing your health at the altar of your business. You tell yourself: • “I’ll fix it later.” • “Business and family obligations come before me.” But here’s something that might make you uneasy… That is the exact lie that the enemy wants you to believe. The Lie That’s Keeping You Weak, Tired, and Ineffective: Satan wants you to believe the lie that you are incapable of honoring your body while stewarding everything else. He wants you: ❌ Exhausted ❌ Weakened ❌ A slave to gluttony and sloth ❌ To set a poor example to the people you’re called to lead And additionally... Satan wants you dead... Early... Because if your body is weak, you’re easier to tempt. If you’re out of control, you have less influence over the people you’re supposed to lead. And if you die early—then you’re not even here. And maybe you’ve known this for a while. You’ve tried keto, intermittent fasting, Weight Watchers, Personal Trainers, or even Ozempic… But here’s the part you haven’t heard before. You’ve Been Lied To. You’ve been trying to use a temporary Band-Aid on a spiritual wound. Mainstream diet methods promise a quick fix… but they leave you discouraged and defeated. That’s why studies show that 90% of people who try these diets gain the weight back. And after so many repeated failures, you start to accept the lie from the enemy— “I just can’t figure out this one area of life.” And here’s what makes it even worse. Your pastors aren’t helping—they don’t talk about gluttony because they’re still struggling with it themselves. Other Christians make it harder. They say: 💬 "It’s no big deal!" 💬 "God gives you grace!" 💬 "Come on, one donut won’t hurt!" But I need you to ask yourself: Are the men telling you this the type of men you respect? Are they disciplined? Are they leading by example? Or are they justifying their own addiction to comfort? How I Know Exactly What You’re Feeling: Maybe you’re reading this, and you already know all of this. You know you shouldn’t be eating junk… but you do. You know you should be working out… but you skip it. You know you should stop turning to food for comfort… but you still do. And if you’re feeling convicted right now, I understand. Because I was once enslaved to sin in the exact same way. For over a decade, I was addicted to pornography. I was having premarital sex while still trying to be a Christian leader. I read my Bible, went to church, and knew exactly what I needed to do… Yet I kept falling into the same old pattern. I felt like I fraud. And, there was even this moment when I was finally convicted—just like you are now. I told my ex-fiance: “We’re not having sex anymore.” She looked me dead in the eyes and said: “If we’re not going to do that, then I’m leaving.” And I looked right back at her and said: “Okay. Leave. I choose Jesus.” She walked out the door. And I was proud of myself. I thought: “Thank you, Lord, for the strength to make this decision. I can finally honor You.” And then… Less than 24 hours later, I completely caved. I went right back to the very sin I swore to leave behind. And I remember standing in the bathroom afterward, looking in the mirror, so disgusted with myself that I couldn’t even make eye contact with my own reflection. I had completely lost hope. I told the devil: "You win." But that was a lie. And what I experienced next completely changed my life— And it’s the exact same process that will change yours. The Turning Point: How Everything Changed When I applied the process that I’m going to share with you today, not only did everything change… I experienced blessings in this area of my life that were so far beyond anything I had ever imagined. I broke free from addiction, married the love of my life, started working on a family, and 10x'ed my business, all while staying consistent and leveling up in my own fitness And that’s when I realized: 👉 This isn’t just about losing weight. 👉 This isn’t just about not being fat anymore. This is about the blessings that God has for you on the other side of discipline—blessings so powerful, so life-changing, that once you experience them, you will be incapable of doing anything except saying, “Glory to You, Lord.” How Do You Actually Go About Doing This? This is the exact process that I’ve helped over 800 guys (at the time of this post) go through inside our Christian-focused coaching company, Joey and I were responsible for all the transformations you'll see at These were men just like you. Men who were: • Losing weight temporarily but always gaining it back. • Struggling with multi-decade-long food addictions. • Convicted that they were called for more. • Fathers, husbands, even pastors—who knew God could redeem this area of their life but struggled to connect their faith to their fitness. But they finally broke free. And there were three key things that made that transformation possible. #1: They Changed the Unhealthy Default Actions That Were Keeping Them Stuck All of these men were struggling with things like: ❌ Overeating and mindless snacking ❌ Skipping workouts ❌ Eating late at night, binge eating ❌ Hitting snooze, sleeping in ❌ Overdrinking, struggling with food addiction ❌ Falling off the wagon on weekends, vacations, or business travel And worst of all? 👉 They would lose some weight… then let their habits slip again… which led to the weight coming back. 👉 Their body fat affected not just how they fit in clothes, but how other people saw them—even their daughters and wives started noticing and nagging them about it. 👉 For some of them, their hearts had become ticking time bombs, and they knew if they didn’t change, they would eventually suffer consequences that affected not just them, but their families and marriages. And even though you would think these things would be motivating enough… Like you’re probably thinking right now, “I should be motivated enough to change.” They were still choosing: ❌ Comfort over discipline. ❌ Food over their families. ❌ Laziness over being the leader their people needed them to be. #2: They Didn’t Have a Sustainable, Effective Approach That Worked With Their Busy Life Most of them had already tried: 📌 Dieting, weight loss challenges, personal trainers. 📌 Just trying to “get serious” and eat cleaner. 📌 Fad diets like Keto or Intermittent Fasting. 📌 Making their wife their accountability partner (which never works, because no man wants his wife to be his mommy—and no wife wants to be her husbands mommy).

🚨 The #1 Terryl Farnsworth SECRET Hid From The Charlie Kirk Assassination Trial! They LIED to cover up the DRONE ASSASSINATION of Charlie Kirk. Get this information out to the media! Get this information out to the podcasters! Get this information out to EVERYONE! And the SECOND IMPACT to enter Charlie's chest and exited our of his back? I cover that later in this video as well. LONG READ AHEAD: I am the creator of the 2-shot theory which is found in my 5 part series entitled Charlie Kirk: Operation 322. If you are interested in seeing the frame-by-frame analysis, esoteric connections, and real EVIDENCE that has been excluded from the public's eyes you need to tune into CKO:322 IMMEDIATELY!! I am on YouTube at "WeAreNotGoingToMars". Or you can go to my articles section here on X to check out the "Charlie's CLOSURE" article. The second video is an exclusive 10 minute frame by frame analysis. The first video is a 30 minute AI summary of my entire 8 hour series. The entire series is linked at the bottom of the article. There's a lot of good information out there that has been contributed by phenomenal independent journalists... But I think MOST of them would agree that the Charlie Kirk Assassination is the most high profile assassination of our times. 🔑 If they agree to that, then the information in this video is the BIGGEST DISCOVERY ever found in a high profile assassination. And I'm giving all praises to God for that. It is time for a spiritual awakening from the sleep that they have put so many of us under... That awakening can happen around a POWERFUL joint truth. As our leaders continue to try to KEEP US DIVIDED, we must resist the urge to give in to this strawman illusion of a reality. 💯 There are other ways to look at life that don't involve DIVISION amongst ever single group of people. I'm hoping that we can all begin to explore the hope of those options when we congregate around Constitutionally grounded principles, and the POWERFUL TRUTH that our government in its totality was involved in the assassination of Charlie Kirk. We need to wake up to the fact that we're being played. ALL OF US. The Epstein Class is centered in Israel & the United States, but it spans MANY countries worldwide. The GLOBAL Epstein Class assassinated Charlie Kirk to further their agenda. 2-Shots entering and exiting successfully, with a failed wireless microphone detonation to resemble a JFK assassination style effect. (The wireless microphone detonated in the SUV.) 🔑 In a menorah-shaped courtyard with an ouroboros around it(I've never shared that detail before), Charlie was sacrificed in a RITUAL ASSASSINATION in front of 3,000 people LIVE, and hundreds of thousands more through live streaming. His assassination and the drones over the Eastern border are connected. Matthew Livelsberger talking about the drones and their alien technology, as well as supposedly meeting with a man about drones before his attack on a Trump Tower that took his life, is connected to the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk assassination. DRONES. That's what ALL of this is about! 💥 The tool of choice to CONTROL AMERICA through the federal government and by the power of the president, will be DRONES. 🔑 Charlie Kirk's assassination represents the first of MANY planned assassination in the upcoming days and years... And I say planned for a reason, not just because I wrote the book "planned." (which you can support at 🤯 But I say planned because WE are already LABELED. What did you think all of this data collection has been for, for so many years?! Data Collection, DATA CENTERS, the White House Command Center under the ballroom, the off-shoring of our data to companies in Israel, nationwide Flock cameras, and soon "Flock DRONES"... They are just building the architecture, capabilities, and changing the laws to be more favorable to "remove" us... Speech will become the new terrorism, and there will be nowhere to hide; including the privacy of your home. Drone assassinations will become the new tool to quite ANY dissent... 🔑 The Bird of Prey assassination of Charlie Kirk was a ritual joint operations assassination to symbolize a new era in governance and control... To symbolize their complete capture of our systems. But that's ONLY if we let them get away with this. I'm giving you all the tea that I can. And I'll be back tomorrow with more... Check out Charlie Kirk: Operation 322 until then! And if you agree with everything I'm saying in this video, tell somebody to tell somebody... It's time to get active. The Epstein Class is the New World Order. RIGHT NOW, is the ONLY chance we have left to stop them from stealing our leaders, our children, and all of our future wealth. More later... Talk Soon. 🫡🙏🏾🌎

This is government bureaucracy in action American citizen wants to get minor work done on his house His local government made him do the following tasks before any work can be started: - First thing they made me do is post details about it in the local paper. I have no idea where you would buy our local paper — The information I need to post is completely incompreh by a human because it all just refers to, you know, random government code. Had to post it in the newspaper. - And then I had to pay an additional $80 to get them to provide me an affidavit that said, hey, we the newspaper guarantee that this was posted in the newspaper. Now you couldn't just buy the newspaper for $2 and see, hey, it was posted. That wasn't good enough — So after I posted that in the newspaper that no one's gonna look at and no one knows how to read, I had to then send out — There's 27 addresses within 200ft of our property. So I had to send it out. I had to send those via certified mail - Now, certified mail is about $5 each and to do a certified mail, you have to fill out these little green and white feed forms in the post office. So I'm standing in the post office for like 45 minutes filling out these little forms, one to one, one for each letter, 27 different forms. And then I'm paying $5 to the postal service to deliver this certified to the people that live within 200ft of me. - So now I had to get all the receipts from those, and I have to go to my local library to get the notary to notarize that. So why do I have to do all that? For the simple reason of that anyone wants to sue me, that the government can absolve themselves of all fault, and they can say, well, you signed this, you had this affidavit there, you had that there. It's not our faul fault, it's all their fault. And they get to point the finger at me. So I get to pay all this extra money, do all these random tasks for them, all for the wonderful benefit of being liable in case something happens, and zero benefit to the actual thing I need, which is for them to look at my damn plans. And just as an aside, here, all the applications are numbered. We are the second application in the entirety of 2025 to be reviewed by the Board of Adjustment in my town. And we submitted this in February, July 1st, tomorrow. And we still have not got our plans reviewed.”

A couple that makes $20k/mo will live a comfortable life in Toronto, Canada. Let me walk you through it $20k per month is $240k a year. Let’s say each person makes $120,000 per year In Ontario: Federal tax: $18,812.49 Provincial tax: $10,128.16 CPP contributions: $4,055.50 EI premiums $1,049.12 Net pay: $85,954.73 per person per year or $7,162.89 per person per month. Who are we talking about? A couple. No kids. For a couple: Net pay: $171,909.46 per year or $14,325.79 per month. What does “comfortable” mean? Let us say you are: - not living pay check to pay check - filling retirement accounts - paying for food, clothing, shelter, transportation Let us start: TFSA (equivalent to U.S. Roth IRA): $7,000 per adult per year, or $14k per couple per year total. But each person contributed $21,600 to their RRSP, paid $30,000 in tax, and had a refund of $8,900 which they used for their TFSA with $1,900 per person to spare. RRSP (equivalent to U.S. 401k/403b): $21,600 per adult, or $43,200 total per couple. For retirement (TFSA & RRSP): $43,200 per year or $3,600 per month. Let’s move to shelter: A 1b1b condo in Toronto costs $720,000. This should be affordable for a gross household income of $240,000 per year based on the 20/30/3 rule for buying a home: 1. 20% down 2. Shelter costs less than 30% gross household income 3. Shelter price less than 3x gross household income If no downpayment the couple needs to find $144,000 for downpayment, $13,275 land transfer tax (assuming first time home buyer otherwise $21,750) and legal. $162k+ Minimum. Monthly mortgage is $3,400 per month (20% down, 5.1% interest, 25 year amortization) Plus: Utilities Insurance Property tax Landscaping Maintenance Capital expenditures You get the picture. If non-recoverable shelter cost is 2% this is $14,400 per year or $1,200 per month. Let’s keep it simple and say that shelter equivalent is $4,600 per month Next add the following: Groceries: $1,000/mo Car: $1,000/mo (includes monthly payment, maintenance, insurance, gas) We are at $10,200 per month. ($3,600 retirement + $4,600 shelter + $1,000 food + $1,000 transportation) Now add: $200/mo Emergency fund $200/mo. Phone & Internet $400/mo Eating out $200/mo Entertainment $500/mo Clothes, Fitness, Grooming, Travel Total of $1,500 We are at $11,700 per month. This couple has $2,700 per month to spare and can consider having a child and/or a second car. Statistics Canada calculated that raising a child from birth until the age of 18 years of age will cost $1,400 per month. This excludes saving for the child’s post-secondary education in an RESP. In short to live a comfortable life in Toronto with adaquate contributions to retirement, money for shelter, food, clothing, transportation, entertainment, and a future that may include having a child, a couple needs to make $20k/mo. Otherwise we just decide to sacrifice, and live without something listed above. Get financially literate. You got this! 🙌
