- USAID Freeze SCOTUS BOTG
- Adam—In a 5-4 decision, SCOTUS just let stand an
- order compelling the Trump Administration to pay $2 billion to USAID
- contractors. Highlighted news story and short SCOTUS opinion attached.
- It’s hard to get too spun up about this since the $2 billion represents work
- that was already completed. But since this is The Season of
- Constitutional Crisis, allow me to invoke the goose-and-gander rule to
- show how the judiciary is in a perpetual struggle with the other two
- branches of government, and “constitutional crises” are exceedingly easy
- Here you have an Article I
- Congress that has written laws defining judicial jurisdiction. You
- have an Article II Executive that is in charge of paying taxpayer money
- to contractors, and which enjoys sovereign jurisdiction in carrying out
- this function. And you have an Article III Judiciary that often invades
- these duties under the guise of “judicial review.” I won’t take sides
- in this case, but if we’re looking for a “constitutional crisis,” we can
- always find one because the three branches of government were
- effectively designed to be at war with one another. Some call it
- “checks and balances,” but the M5M calls it a “constitutional crisis”
- when it promotes their agenda.
- Justice Alito wrote a really informative dissent, joined by Justices Thomas, Kavanaugh, and Gorsuch.

- Black Dandy BOTG
- Remember Farnsworth Bentley he was Diddys Dandy.
- Dandy is just a man who dresses well, lots of style.
- There are dandys of all races.
- Think moors in terms of the sytle, fabrics patterns in origin.
- But it became something applied to well dressed black bag men for white elites.
- Think metrosexual, gay straight and everything in between.
- This Met gala thing is the left pulling away from straight black men.
- Libs love gay black men, black lesbiens, straight black women, and hate black men. They want all black men to be gay or trans.
- I was always though of as gay because I'm black and dress like a WASP.

- Male body dysmorphia BOTG
- I was enjoying Magarexia(1744) and wanted to share a bit of boots on the ground and personal experience.
- While the term "bigrexia" is new to me and indeed sounds like total BS. I am quite involved in the powerlifting and body building community. Male body dysmorphia is indeed on the rise, and if it keeps current trends may even exceed female body dysmorphia in the next few years.
- Where the media clearly gets it wrong is their warning signs. Eating right, focus on clean diet, and going to the gym are far from a problem, and we would be much better if that was the norm. The problem arises when male expectations(real or perceived) demands more and more leanness and size. Many men with truly elite physiques still feel its not enough, and destroy themselves with over training, starvation, or otherwise losing social connections just to put on more mass.
- Steroids' and natural lifters in the "influencer" community make things far worse, as few will admit being on the juice leading men to think they are far behind when really they just don't have the same chemical program. Much of Hollywood uses some kind of performance enhancer, but will never admit it. Men see this, and feel the need to work harder and harder to reach a literally impossible goal.
- This is outside of other scams people can fall into, such as the liver kings palio diet disaster.
- The modern wisdom podcast has touched on this topic and may be interested in having you on as a guest(and plug for no agenda) as are other fitness "influencers".
- Long and short(John version) Male body dysmorphia is a growing major concern, The media is not giving proper perspective, and even good looking men may have a mental health crisis put on them by Hollywood and the media.
- Looking forward to donating soon, just wanted to pass along my insight for the show. Keep it strong dude!

- Section 230 Lawsuits BOTG
- Adam—A federal judge in Oakland has ruled that families from various states may proceed with negligence and wrongful-death claims against social-media platforms. The legal theory is that these platforms purposefully addict minors, leading to compulsive use that causes mental and physical harm. The judge ruled that Section 230 does not protect the platforms from claims based on this “addiction” theory.
- I’ve attached a short, highlighted article that sums it all up. I’ve also attached the judge’s order in case you want to read it, but I haven’t had time to read it myself.
