Time to get that volcano lair I’ve always wanted. I think it’s in the “Beyond” section of BB&B.

The Baltimore Orioles. I've never hated something so much that I love so much.

Philly summer is officially here

Let’s be real the real reason we continue to watch the Orioles because we wanna listen to Jim Palmer shit talk to the Orioles

😆 🏖️

One of the best cards ever

Derek Jeter remains the most overrated player of all time.

J6 was a legitimate, organic reaction to 2020 having been rigged. What is remarkable is that the feds embedded in the crowd failed to get them to do anything but commit petty misdemeanors, so they had to falsely imprison every single J6 prisoner.

Inject this into my veins #Birdland

Nothing against 2Pac bobblehead - as I definitely want one, but give me a Fancy Clancy bobblehead and a talking Wild Bill Bobblehead next year.

I haven't seen Democrats this angry since the Emancipation Proclamation.

Oh no, this is the only generational trauma I pass on.

205 years ago today, three brave Americans defeated El Guapo at the Battle of Santa Poco to give Mexico its independence. Happy Cinco de Mayo to all who celebrate.

Brilliantly done

It’s child abuse to let people who are sexual deviants adopt a newborn baby

Gay surrogacy and gay adoption are predicated on the idea that gay men (or women) have a “right” to become parents. This idea is not only morally insane but also logically incoherent. It’s exactly like jumping off a building and claiming that you have the right to fly. Nobody has the right to defy the laws of nature. Where would such a right even originate? Two men cannot be parents. It’s impossible. Doesn’t matter how they feel or what they want. It cannot be. The only “right” at issue here is the right of the child. And the child has a right to be raised by a mother and a father, not two men masquerading as mother and father.

In 1776, when the American colonies broke from the British Empire, the average American man was 5'9". This was three inches taller than the average Englishman. It was taller than the Dutch, taller than the French, taller than the Swedes. George Washington, at 6'2", was tall by any standard, but his soldiers were not the Lilliputians the popular image suggests. At 5'7" the average Continental Army private was significantly taller than a typical European soldier, because he had grown up on a diet that the typical European soldier had not. The diet was meat. Dairy. Eggs from the back garden. Game from the woods that belonged to nobody. The abundance of colonial America, where the protein was not controlled by a landlord or rationed by a church or restricted by a forest law, had produced a population that was, by the skeletal standards of the eighteenth century, the tallest on earth. Americans stayed the tallest people in the world for nearly two hundred years. Then they stopped. American height plateaued in the 1950s. It has not meaningfully increased since. The average American man born in 1996 is approximately 5'9", which is the same height as the average American man born in 1950, and roughly the same height as the average American man in 1776. In the same period, the Dutch grew six inches. The Scandinavians grew five. The Germans grew four. The South Koreans grew nearly four. One by one, the European populations that had been shorter than Americans in 1900 overtook them. The Dutch, who had been among the shortest Europeans in 1860, are now the tallest people on earth at an average of 6 foot for men. Americans have dropped to 37th. Thirty-seventh. The richest country in the history of the world, spending more per capita on food than almost any other nation, is now shorter than the Dutch, the Danes, the Norwegians, the Swedes, the Germans, the Croatians, the Czechs, the Estonians, the Latvians, the Lithuanians, the Slovenians, the Montenegrins, the Bosnians, the Serbs, the Icelanders, the Belgians, the Austrians, the Swiss, the Australians, the New Zealanders, the Canadians, the Bermudans, and the Finns. The conventional explanation blames inequality. Healthcare access. Poverty. These are real factors. They are also downstream of something more fundamental. The American diet changed. In the 1950s, the average American ate butter, whole milk, eggs, and red meat as the nutritional backbone of the diet. By the 1990s, the average American was eating margarine, skimmed milk, egg whites, chicken breast, and a long list of processed foods that had been reformulated to remove animal fat and replace it with sugar and seed oil, because the dietary guidelines had told them to. The Dutch, in the same period, continued eating dairy. Full-fat dairy. Roughly a kilogram per person per day. Cheese for breakfast. Cheese for lunch. Milk with dinner. Butter on everything. The Dutch ignored the American dietary guidelines and kept eating the food that was making them tall. The Americans followed the guidelines and stopped growing. The Dutch ignored the guidelines and became the tallest people on earth. The experiment has been running for fifty years. It is running in real time. The results are in the conscription records and the school growth charts and the anthropometric surveys that are published every year and that nobody in a position to update the dietary guidance appears to be reading. America was the tallest country on earth when it was eating butter. America is the 37th tallest country on earth now that it is eating the guidelines. The guidelines have not been updated. The Dutch are still eating the cheese.

Exactly

Another sunrise service, another year of Gods faithfulness. We ministered to over 450 folks this last Sunday!
