🦅 Long Branch, NJ: A 100-year-old tree was removed along the Lake Takanassee / Cedar Ave corridor. I contacted the foreman, police, and city to request a pause for permit & wildlife review, then escalated to state and federal agencies. In the spirit of Gam zu l’tovah (גם זו לטובה — “this too is for the good”), I’m asking for a transparent review of habitat impacts and compliance. @USFWS @EPA @NOAA @NJDEP @NJFishWildlife @News12NJ #ProtectWildlife #JerseyShore #LongBranchNJ #HabitatProtection #MigratoryBirds

NEW MINI-INVESTIGATION: How NYC reports a violent-crime decline that didn’t happen. Let’s look at the last 28 days. 🚨 There was no 5.6% drop in violent crime. NYPD’s own report produces that number by comparing two different kinds of data. Match them, and the decline vanishes — apples-to-apples, violent crime is flat, with three of four categories actually higher than a year ago. Here’s the trick. For the latest 28-day period, NYPD compares fresh, preliminary 2026 numbers against 2025 numbers that have had a full year to be revised upward. Both reports admit it in writing: figures are “preliminary and subject to further analysis and revision.” The current year hasn’t been revised yet. Last year has — all year long. Compare the same kind of data — 2026 preliminary against the preliminary 2025 numbers NYPD itself published for the identical 28-day period a year ago — and the 5.6% decline doesn’t shrink. It disappears. As the report frames it (2026 fresh vs. 2025 revised): • Murder: 22 vs. 25 (−12.0%) • Rape: 153 vs. 153 (0.0%) • Robbery: 1,040 vs. 1,253 (−17.0%) • Felony Assault: 2,517 vs. 2,523 (−0.2%) Total violent felonies: 3,732 vs. 3,954 = −5.6% Same kind of data (2026 fresh vs. 2025 fresh): • Murder: 22 vs. 14 ( 57.1%) — small numbers, so read the counts, not the percent • Rape: 153 vs. 146 ( 4.8%) • Robbery: 1,040 vs. 1,191 (−12.7%) • Felony Assault: 2,517 vs. 2,371 ( 6.2%) Total violent felonies: 3,732 vs. 3,722 = dead flat. Three of the four major violent-felony categories are higher than a year ago. The “decline” is an artifact of the comparison, not the crime data. Here’s where the 5.6% comes from. Over the past year, NYPD revised the 2025 numbers upward — its own counts for the identical 28-day period, a year apart: • Murder: 14 → 25 • Rape: 146 → 153 • Robbery: 1,191 → 1,253 • Felony Assault: 2,371 → 2,523 Total: 3,722 → 3,954 ( 232 crimes) Inflate last year’s baseline by 232 crimes, hold this year’s un-inflated, and you’ve conjured a 5.6% “improvement” out of thin air. Nothing about actual crime changed. Only the maturity of the data did. The revisions themselves are routine. The spin isn’t. And this isn’t a one-administration problem — CompStat has reported preliminary-against-revised under every mayor. That’s the point: the comparison is built to flatter whoever’s in office, every single week. If 2026 follows the same pattern, these “fresh” 2026 numbers will get revised upward too — and today’s flat line will tilt positive. One window, equal length, both sides 28 days, both numbers straight from NYPD’s own reports. (I’m not touching year-to-date — the 2026 report runs through June 14, the 2025 report through June 15, so YTD isn’t a valid one-to-one comparison. The 28-day window is.) The report’s framing: down 5.6%. Apples-to-apples: flat, with three of four categories up. Same source. Same crimes. The decline only exists if you grade two different years on two different curves.

Yes, pain is in the brain. But don’t forget the brain processes information/data that’s put into it from the body. That’s called sensory input. And what many of the neuroplastic approaches forget is that an inflamed brain from stuck lymphatics and poor blood flow doesn’t change very easily. It falls back on old patterns because it doesn’t have the energy to make new ones

Omg love it!

Tupac once said: Don't sit at a table where they talk about others, Because when you get up, you are the next topic.

Taking control of your life starts with one hard truth: No one is coming to save you. No one else is to blame. The moment you stop pointing fingers and start taking ownership… That’s when everything begins to change. Responsibility isn’t a burden. It’s your superpower.

You've seen what happened when I handed the science to someone who disagreed with me. This is what that study actually found. Vaccinated children were two and a half times more likely to have at least one chronic disease. Across every major health category in the study, the unvaccinated children were healthier. Those are his numbers from his study. I am gladly traveling the world to talk about it and the world is now watching "An Inconvenient Study"

Lithium is generally known as the harsh psychiatric drug of yesteryear. But, it is now emerging as a subtle supporter of brain health and longevity, when used in microdoses, far far below psychiatric levels. It is being reborn as a nutrient with the potential to help the aging brain.

Harry Markopolos was the whistleblower who revealed the Bernie Madoff ponzi scheme years before it became widely known. Markopolos, a financial analyst at a firm competing with Madoff's, embarked on a mission to decode Madoff's investment strategy. Through his investigation, he concluded that Madoff was defrauding investors. Describing himself as a "math geek," Markopolos reached his conclusion by analyzing the numbers and identifying that Madoff's reported returns were mathematically impossible. In 2001, he presented his evidence to the SEC and reached out to several journalists, yet his warnings were ignored, leaving him to live "in fear for his life." Markopolos believed his warnings were disregarded by the SEC because the agency's staff lacked the necessary financial expertise to understand the fraud he had uncovered. This oversight would lead to significant embarrassment for the SEC when Madoff's scheme was finally exposed in 2008. The Biggest Ponzi Schemes in History historydefined.net/the-bigge……

Loneliness is the price you pay when you start to improve yourself.

The older you get, the more you choose diplomacy over disagreements and distance over disrespect. Drama becomes intolerable to you, and your peace becomes your highest priority. You start surrounding yourself with people who are good for your mental health, heart, and soul.
