Laundry Detergent: The Poison Hiding in Your Clothes ☠️ 👕 You wash your clothes to “clean” them, but mainstream detergents do the opposite—they coat your fabrics in toxic chemicals that cling to your skin & get inhaled daily. That “fresh” scent? A synthetic cocktail of irritants, hormone disruptors & respiratory toxins If it lingers on your clothes for days, imagine what it’s doing to your body 🚨 Toxins Hiding in Your Detergent 🛑 “Fragrance” = Hundreds of Hidden Chemicals Companies aren’t required to disclose what’s in their scents. Phthalates, allergens & endocrine disruptors are all fair game 🛑 SLS & SLES = Skin & Lung Irritants These foaming agents strip natural oils, cause skin irritation & can even trigger asthma 🛑 Optical Brighteners Fake Cleanliness They don’t actually remove stains—they just coat fabric to reflect light so your clothes look cleaner than they are. Meanwhile, they irritate skin & build up in your system 🛑 Phosphates Are Bad News for You & the Planet They help detergents break down dirt but contaminate waterways & contribute to skin allergies 🛑 Bleach: The Most Common Household Toxin Inhalation can cause breathing issues, headaches & chemical burns. When mixed with other cleaners? Even worse Why They Keep Selling It Big Detergent isn’t cleaning your clothes—it’s coating them. They load up on synthetic fillers to make products cheaper, smell stronger & keep you coming back If your detergent has a bright color, intense scent & a long list of unrecognizable ingredients, you might want to rethink what’s touching your skin 24/7 💡 Looking for a real clean? We love Zum (@IndigoWild)—a company we have no affiliation with, but they make a truly non-toxic detergent that actually works. We stick with their detergents that only contain essential oils, no fragrance. Our favorites are the Patchouli & Sea Salt detergents If you want to keep it super simple, white vinegar is the best and doesn’t make your clothes smell vinegary. (Add a little baking soda for whites)

Processed Food: The Biggest Scam on Your Plate 🥤 The food industry has one job—sell you cheap, addictive, processed junk while making you believe it’s healthy. They slap words like “natural,” “heart-healthy” & “fortified” on boxes filled with seed oils, synthetic additives & sugar bombs that wreck your health while keeping you hooked If it has a commercial, a mascot, or a long ingredient list, it’s probably not real food 🚨 What’s Wrong With Processed Food? 🛑 Seed Oils in Everything Canola, soybean, sunflower, corn, safflower—these cheap, highly processed oils are in almost every packaged food. Inflammatory, oxidized & linked to metabolic disease 🛑 Artificial Sweeteners & Preservatives Aspartame, sucralose, sodium benzoate, BHT—marketed as “safe,” but linked to gut damage, hormone disruption & long-term health issues 🛑 Fake Fortification = Nutrient Deception Refined grains & cereals are stripped of nutrients & then “fortified” with synthetic vitamins your body doesn’t absorb properly 🛑 High-Fructose Corn Syrup & Its Sneaky Cousins Glucose syrup, dextrose, maltodextrin—cheap, addictive fillers that overload the liver, spike insulin & drive cravings What’s the Alternative? Eat real food. The best way to take control of your health is to ditch the boxes & eat what your great-grandparents ate ✅ Source locally from ranchers, farmers & fishermen who care about quality, not shelf life ✅ Stick to single-ingredient foods—if it needs a label, it’s probably too processed ✅ Prioritize nutrient-dense staples like grass-fed beef, pastured eggs, raw dairy, wild-caught fish, local honey & fresh fruit The food industry wants you addicted—but you can break free. Shop local, eat real & give your body what it actually needs

Private property rights aren’t just important—they’re the foundation of a free and thriving society. Almost every major problem today stems from the state trampling property rights. When the government interferes—whether through taxes, regulations, or outright theft—it strips individuals of control over what’s rightfully theirs. A truly free society means you own what’s yours, and you protect it by any means necessary—without the state telling you otherwise. If someone violates your property, there should be no recourse against you for defending it. When property rights are upheld, markets flourish, wealth is created, and people are free to live without coercion. When they’re violated, you get economic destruction, dependency, and a ruling class that dictates what you can and can’t do with your own land, labor, and life. Government is the greatest threat to private property. The solution? Get out of the way.

The Toxic Truth About Mainstream Lotions (Plus a Hidden Surprise for Those Who Read It All!) 😯 It’s shocking how many people still trust Big Skincare brands, lured in by claims of being “natural” & “hydrating”. With more people waking up to the power of tallow-based skincare, it’s time to take a closer look at what’s really inside these corporate formulations Spoiler: These ingredients aren’t helping your skin—they’re actively harming it while padding Big Skincare’s bottom line 💡 Keep reading—there’s a hidden Easter egg somewhere in this post! What’s Hiding in This “Nameless” Mainstream Brand’s Lotion? 1️⃣ Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Flour •Marketed as “soothing,” yet can actually trigger irritation in sensitive skin & disrupt the skin barrier •Contains plant-based compounds that may interfere with hormonal balance, acting as an endocrine disruptor 2️⃣ Water •The #1 ingredient, yet it evaporates quickly, leaving your skin drier than before •A cheap filler that dilutes active ingredients—you’re paying for mostly water 3️⃣ Glycerin (From Vegetable Oils) •Oxidizes on the skin, creating free radicals that accelerate aging instead of preventing it •May disrupt natural lipid balance, affecting hormonal function •❌ SEED OILS☠️ Need I say more? 4️⃣ Petrolatum •A petroleum byproduct that clogs pores & traps toxins under the skin •Mimics hormones in the body, potentially acting as an endocrine disruptor 5️⃣ Isopropyl Palmitate •Strips your skin’s natural protective oils, leaving it even drier & more vulnerable •Its synthetic composition may interfere with hormone regulation 6️⃣ Distearyldimonium Chloride •A synthetic emulsifier that can cause skin irritation & disrupt moisture balance •Linked to hormonal interference 7️⃣ Cetyl Alcohol •Often derived from highly processed vegetable oils, which can contribute to oxidative stress & inflammation •Another potential endocrine disruptor due to synthetic processing 8️⃣ Benzyl Alcohol •Commonly used as a preservative, but instead of hydrating, it dries out & irritates skin •Can interfere with hormonal signaling in the body 9️⃣ Sodium Chloride (Table Salt) •Cheap filler that disrupts the skin’s natural hydration levels, leading to dryness •Could interfere with electrolyte balance, indirectly impacting hormones 🔟 Dimethicone •A synthetic silicone that forms a fake “smoothing” layer but traps dirt, oil & bacteria, leading to breakouts •May disrupt the body’s ability to regulate natural oils & hormones The Truth About Big Skincare Corporations like these don’t create products for your health—they create them for profit. They rely on cheap, synthetic fillers, petroleum byproducts & plant-based irritants that can inflame your skin, disrupt your hormones & keep you locked in a cycle of dependency How We’re Different 💯 No fillers.

No hormone disruptors. No fake hydration ✅ Just real, powerful, nature-made skincare There’s a reason so many people are making the switch—once you experience the difference, there’s no going back And if you’ve read this far, maybe you deserve a little extra. After all, making informed choices should come with a reward. Think of it as your skin’s way of thanking you Let’s just say FREE11 might come in handy next time you check out—especially since it saves you 15% off your order 🤫 It’s time to break free from the corporate skincare trap & choose ingredients that actually nourish, heal & protect your skin

While @DOGE is cracking down on waste, fraud, and abuse, I think they should take a look into disability reform. Right now, the system incentivizes stagnation over recovery—because the moment someone improves, they risk losing their benefits. Instead of working to regain independence, they’re trapped in a cycle where staying “disabled” & mooching off of taxpayers’ labor is the safer financial choice. Every person who takes this route isn’t just a lost worker—it’s another weight on productive society. Instead of contributing, they’re subsidized to do nothing, reinforcing dependence on the state rather than self-sufficiency. Harsh reality: government handouts don’t empower people—they weaken them. When incentives are skewed, human nature follows. If welfare trains people to stay out of the workforce, that’s exactly what they’ll do. Reform should reward recovery, not permanent dependence. If someone is physically capable of contributing in any way, the system should encourage them to do so—whether through modified work, private sector assistance, or innovative job programs. At the end of the day, a society that prioritizes value creation over victimhood thrives. And we should all want that

I’d love to see DOGE & the Trump administration take serious steps toward phasing out government welfare. Some might see this as harsh, but I’d urge you to read Murray Rothbard—he breaks it down far better than I can Welfare, at its core, disincentivizes productivity, fosters government dependence, and places an unfair load on taxpayers. It creates perverse incentives—rewarding joblessness, subsidizing larger families for bigger payouts, and perpetuating generational dependency rather than self-sufficiency This isn’t to say welfare should be abolished overnight, but reform is necessary to eventually transition away from state-mandated wealth redistribution. In a truly free market, private charities and businesses would compete to provide assistance, offering aid in exchange for labor or services suited to each individual’s ability For those who are physically unable to work, there are countless ways to contribute mentally, strategically, or creatively. No system should reward idleness at the expense of productive members of society At the end of the day, there’s no such thing as a free lunch. Welfare doesn’t uplift—it erodes personal responsibility, stifles economic growth, and traps people in a cycle of dependency. A system that rewards value creation, not victimhood, is the only path to real progress
