#1 
One has to wonder whether the Liberal Media trained, the ones that follow anything (D) agenda types out there. Will watch it and fail to see the stupidity of disarming Lawful Citizens seeking to protect themselves or their group.

The repeated historically documented stupidity of Government, being the only the ones allowed to "legally" have firearms, which constantly resulted in murderous Dictatorships slapping them in the face.

Facts clearly show.
That since Criminals don't obey laws, criminals are never disarmed.

Then there is the Mass shooting and after mass shooting. Which has demonstrated the shooter(s) were either Perverts, Terrorists, and/or Mentally Ill. That carefully picked an Unarmed, Undefended peaceful targets or groups. Despite the (D) bans those persons still acquired firearms to murder. While Honest Citizens following the law, had been prevented from having such a means of Self-Defense.

Europe
Paris Is Burning. Guess Which Country Is Next ?
[PJ] You may have heard the joke, "Why are the roads to Paris lined with trees? So that the Germans can march in the shade."

France is under attack again, but this time the roads aren’t clogged with panzers. Today’s conquerors don’t wear helmets with silly spikes on top, nor do they don swastikas (well, sometimes).

France's new masters didn't formally invade; they were invited in by the globalist reptiles running the nation and much of Western Europe. They were given free housing, food, and medical care. They were also given a mission: to destroy Western civilizations and out-procreate those pesky Europeans, kinda like the Quran tells them to.

Many of the Operation Mockingbird galley slaves are attributing the pyrotechnics to the result of a soccer game. And being from Detroit, I can't say the Motor City hasn't burned a car or three while celebrating a Detroit Tigers World Series win here and there, but it's hard to believe this current carnage is sports-related when those rascally firebugs scream "Allahu akbar" while throwing Molotov cocktails at the Eiffel Tower.

Science & Technology
‘I live on beef, butter, bacon and eggs.’
[FoxNews] Doctor who lost 70 pounds on carnivore diet says Americans have been 'misled and misfed' on nutrition. Survey finds 70% of Americans are trying to consume more protein, up from 62% in 2021

A growing number of Americans are trying to consume more protein. Dr. Ken Berry, a physician in rural Tennessee, traces some of the trend to people reporting improved health by following meat-based diets.

Each year, the International Food Information Council survey asks Americans to select the qualities that best define a healthy food. In 2025, Americans' views shifted, with "good source of protein" overtaking "fresh" as the top criterion.

The survey also found that for the fifth year in a row, most Americans (70%) reported protein as the nutrient they're most trying to consume. That's up from 62% in 2021.

While protein remains a priority for many Americans, nutrition experts continue to debate the optimal amount and sources of protein for long-term health.

Berry was the keynote speaker at Meatstock 2026, an annual convention for followers of carnivore and ketogenic diets.

"Meatstock continues to grow each and every year, sometimes doubling," Berry told Fox News Digital.

Carnivore diets vary slightly, Berry said. Some people eat only meat, some eat ruminant meat only, while others incorporate meat, eggs and fish.

They all experience remarkable health benefits, according to Berry, who said he heard testimonial after testimonial from people who said they've lost stored fat, reduced fatty liver and inflammation and generally transformed their health on the carnivore diet.

"The stories you hear at Meatstock grab your heart, and they also grab your brain and make you think," he said.

Berry himself testified to dropping 70 pounds and reversing "a list of maladies," including prediabetes, by making the switch from the diet prescribed by the American Diabetes Association to the carnivore diet nine years ago.

"I live on beef, butter, bacon and eggs," Berry said.

The carnivore diet "sounds like basically a terrible idea," Walter Willett, professor of epidemiology and nutrition at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, said in 2024.

He said people miss out on fiber and other key nutrients and that eating animals could lead to climate change.

Others have criticized the diet for being too restrictive to be maintained long-term.

They have also pointed to a lack of clinical evidence they say is necessary to support the diet.

Still, people are intrigued. Berry's keynote speech has gained nearly 80,000 views on YouTube in three weeks. The theme of his talk was that people have been "misled and misfed."

Some of the biggest misconceptions, he said, people believe about nutrition are that whole grains and fruit juices are good for you. They'll keep you alive, he said, but they won't "optimize your health."

Popular whole-grain foods such as bread and oatmeal are "almost uniformly inflammatory for most people," Berry said, though many nutrition researchers have found associations between whole-grain consumption and improved health outcomes.

He added that the starch present in legumes, beans and other foods commonly accepted as healthy spikes people's insulin.

Fruit juices found in many smoothies and other products labeled as wellness beverages "in many cases, have more fructose than Coca-Cola," he said, though nutritional content varies significantly by product.
The science is not settled. And very likely the same diet is not the right answer for everyone.

#1  You evidently have some coin to spend.

#2  I live a Keto diet, I know a number of folks that are strict carnivore. Some for years, they are healthier than most. All the lies from the FDA talking of fiber, missed nutrients etc... are all bull. I go from KETO to carnivore and back, I seem to have a problem with liking eating a salad once in a while, and some other non meat foods. When I started KETO and carnivore I had blood panels run every other month. Checking everything, minerals, vitamins, sugar levels all of it. The only vitamin I was a deficit on was D. But I was bad on that before I went on KETO. I lost 30 pounds over the course of this diet and I eat All I can. As for cost It is not that much more expensive. Ya go to the grocery store and only shop in one isle. Skipping the chips, cereal, veggies that rot in the fridge, cookies and other crap they sell saves more than enough to cover KETO.

#3  Yeah, but you were a caveman from the start.

#4  The GLP-1 weight lose drugs apparently demand higher protein intake. So as use of them goes up, prescribed for increasing health issues beyond obesity, people will be moving toward such diets, even if if isn’t a dietary principle. As a result, we should also see a decrease in anxiety and depression related to vegetarian style diets.

#5  Yes, or they should, else end up looking like those walking dead actors.

#6  That's great for those who can completely forgo carbohydrates. Not everybody can. For the rest of us there are medium-chain-triglycerides (coconut oil C8) I don't pretend to understand why they work, only that they do.

#7  Went from 205 to 189 in about two months to squeeze into my mess dress for a redo of an event I took my wife to 50 years ago. Counted calories and kept to a low carb almost keto diet. About the only approach I've found that works.

#8  I've been on the beef, butter, bacon and eggs for four years. Lost 180 pounds and a whole host of ailments went away or improved to the point of not being noticeable. And Difar Fave, there is NO ONE that has to have carbs. That is nonsense. Luckily I can afford to buy one whole Choice Grade Ribeye a month and then supplement with hamburger. I buy 6 dozen eggs at a time and eat 6 to 8 eggs a day. It's a great way to eat.
