Mexico puts toxic fluoride in the salt. Please stop doing this, Mexico!
Replying to @newstart_2024
China adds iodine in all their salt 🧂 to make sure people digest it enough. Beneficial for mountain area but might be too much for seaside.
Fluoride should never be ingested. Its very dangerous. Example -RFK Jr is correct on this one.
A growing number of parents are discovering something remarkable. Giving a baby just 3.125 mg of iodine—not as medical advice, but as a choice—appears to correlate with higher intelligence later in life. Reports claim some children score 10–15 IQ points above their mothers on average. What’s shocking is where this is happening—not in elite research hubs like Cape Canaveral or Oak Ridge, but in rural school districts. Ordinary families making simple health changes are producing extraordinary results. Meanwhile, another piece of the puzzle is gaining attention: fluoride. Studies confirm fluoride displaces iodine in the body and is linked to reduced IQ in children. The effect is dose dependent—the more fluoride exposure, the greater the cognitive decline. Fluoride isn’t just in tap water. It hides in various processed products, exposing children daily. Those truly serious about safeguarding brain development are turning to natural minerals to remove fluoride and ensuring sufficient iodine intake through responsible supplementation. Perhaps the intelligence revolution isn’t about technology—it’s about rediscovering the elements nature intended for human potential.
I know all the words to Just You Wait Henry Higgins.
Our founders spoke and wrote in Latin. They could recite the Iliad, were familiar with the plots of the Theban plays, and quoted Marcus Aurelius. They argued with the words of Hume, Locke, and Descartes. Our nation's capitals are inspired by the ancient temples built to honor the Olympian gods. Our music theory was shaped by Catholic monks in Italy centuries ago, and all Western music flows from this foundation. The concept of human rights, as enshrined in our Constitution, was first articulated by Dominican monks in Spain. European luminaries marveled at young America, seeing it as the emerging cultural heir of Western civilization. Dvořák composed his New World Symphony in tribute, Tocqueville provided a detailed analysis of our society. Americans took this rich cultural heritage and built upon it, creating new art forms, pioneering scientific breakthroughs, exploring the vastness of the heavens, unlocking the secrets of our genome, stepping onto other worlds, and developing technology that connects the globe. Even the most superficial aspects of culture: food, clothing, music, have been transformed by America. We have built a society of technological marvels and material abundance, founded on the best traditions of the Old World. It has taken extraordinary effort and untold amounts of propaganda, to convince people that America is a cultural void. It’s a take as ignorant as it is exhausted.

Who else agrees with Gavin Newsom calling Trump "an invasive species for the country?" 🖐🏽

🚨🇮🇱🇲🇽🇮🇷 BREAKING: Israeli ambassador to Mexico MAKES UP ASSASINATION PLOT TO BLAME IRAN. She claimed Mexican authorities foiled an IRCG plan to kill her — and an anonymous U.S. official even “confirmed” it to Reuters, adding supposed “Venezuelan operatives.” Mexico says that NEVER HAPPENED. Iran also condemned Israel’s LIES, meant to “harm the friendly and historic relations with Mexico”. WHY DO ISRAELIS LIE SO MUCH?
The funniest thing this weekend was realizing that Gavin Newsom and Bill Maher have very similar hair styles.
Newsom: “I support independent redistricting, but you can’t do it state by state with one arm tied behind your back. You can’t unilaterally disarm while the other side cheats. Donald Trump and Republican governors across the country, they’re not screwing around. He didn’t expect what California did. He thought we’d just write an op-ed and call it a day.” That’s the difference, Democrats finally stopped bringing pens to a gunfight. 🔥🔥
Newsom has the resume and proper skill set and has used every tool available to him, to advocate for our Nation, the rule of law and its Constitution? & of course Newsom must attend the Climate Summit and continue forward momentum. Thank you, @CAgovernor
California Gov. Gavin Newsom, eager to raise his national profile as a Democrat willing to aggressively confront President Donald Trump, scored a campaign victory that may help his party in the midterms as he moves toward a White House run. to.pbs.org/4oDW0Ve

Donald Trump is an invasive species.
There is currently no "ticket". We need Democratic leaders NOW. I'm grateful to Newsom for filling the void.
BLACK FOLKS AIN'T GOING FOR THIS TICKET OR ANY COMBINATION OF AN ALL WHITE TICKET!!
I think its too bad that we are not moving toward alternative materials and home construction methods. These stick houses are really flammable. This location remains vulnerable to future fires.
In Altadena and the Palisades, rebuilding is happening…New homes are taking shape.. each permit is a sign of progress. Rebuilding. Recovery. Renewal #LAFires #Recovery #Palisades #Altadena
These health care subsides are not paid for in taxes on the billionaires and corporations. The bloated health budget and rapacious insurance companies must be reformed. Both parties must solve this.
Lindsey Graham says extending ACA subsidies would be unfair to the American taxpayer. So instead, the American taxpayer will pay 5x more for their health coverage. Much more fair!
No teleprompters. Not reading notes. Newsom just speaking truth from the heart.
Newsom: They want to bring us back to a pre-1960s, maybe 1860s world. And you’re seeing it not just on voting rights—you’re seeing it on civil rights, on women’s rights, on LGBTQ rights. We’re experiencing it in real time. They’re censoring historic facts. They’re rewriting history. They’re on a banning binge—Bud Light and Big Bird
the ONLY way we can reverse our great debt is to massively cut our military and overseas expenditures and reduce vastly the health care profits. Perhaps then we could right the ship.
MTG introduces amendment to cut $500 MILLION for Israel air defense. “Israel is a nuclear-armed nation. They can defend themselves. They have universal healthcare and subsidized college. Meanwhile, Americans are $37T in debt.”
The problem below? The black solar panels get much hotter than the surrounding air. Very high heat especially in hot climates. This changes air circulation patterns and makes the heat even worse. Living systems can't handle this heat.
“China is now making more money from exporting green technology than America makes from exporting fossil fuels. This trend will continue simply because renewables are cheap.” Gift link: China’s clean-energy revolution will reshape markets and politics economist.com/leaders/2025/1…
Your car baking on the parking lot. Lots of parts melt. Meanwhile, solar panels are missing from the parking lots. We could even cover streets in some areas. But instead- the biodiversity and watersheds on our public lands are given away for quick profit.
When the sun's temperature is extreme, this is what happens
My Governor knows what an invasive species is.
Gavin Newsom, speaking in Houston, Texas, just called Donald Trump “an invasive species.” He then mocks him for having such a horrific approval rating. He’s right!

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952
At 16, I refused to eat my parents lifeless food. I ate eggs and butter when every body else ditched that. (married a guy from Wisconsin) Made my own food when fat was replaced by more sugar. Lost 45 pounds I regretted, by eating less.
In the 1950s, doctors smoked in hospitals and recommended cigarettes. In the 1970s, they said margarine was healthier than butter. In the 1990s, they said fat-free everything would solve obesity. In 2025, they're prescribing statins to children. The confidence never wavers. The advice keeps changing. We keep getting sicker.
