PSA for Women 35–50: I Really Wish Someone Had Told Me This Earlier… Nobody warned me about this part of perimenopause, so I’m passing it on in case it helps somebody else. I expected hot flashes. I did not expect to wake up one day feeling like someone had quietly replaced me with an exhausted, foggy, irritated version of myself who suddenly needed a recovery period after basic errands. I was tired. Moody. Foggy. Just OFF. The thing I kept saying was: “I don’t feel like myself.” At least two doctors brought up SSRIs. Thankfully, I have a great OB. He’s also kind of a jerk. 😂 But he listens. We talked through my symptoms, perimenopause, hormones and different options. Under his care, I chose hormone pellets. For me, the difference has been enormous. And I want to be very clear: I’m not selling anything. I’m not recommending pellets. I’m not saying what worked for me will work for you. I’m saying I wish somebody had told me that perimenopause/menopause could feel like this and that it could be very early (I started at like 38-40) That you can feel exhausted, foggy, emotional, irritable and disconnected from yourself enough that you genuinely start wondering what the hell happened to you. So I’m telling you. If something suddenly feels very different, talk to your doctor. Ask questions. Mention perimenopause. Ask what could be contributing and what your options are. Maybe it’s hormones. Maybe it isn’t. But I think women should at least know this is something worth asking about. I got lucky and found someone who listened. Consider this me passing the note to the woman sitting behind me.

The Flydubai hijacking was a joint Al-Qaeda and IRGC terrorist plot that failed due to heroes among us. We will be patient as investigators and the public connect the dots, but here is what they have told the public SO FAR. The attempt on September 30th should never have gotten this far. The co-pilot, Hamam al-Hammami, who spent time in Syria, as his mother is Syrian, had previously been removed from flying duties at Oman Air after concerns about extremist material. He was subsequently hired by Flydubai. He also filmed Israeli aircraft at Dubai International Airport days after October 7th and posted cockpit footage featuring images of Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri and Humam al-Balawi, the suicide bomber who killed my CIA brothers and sisters in Khost in 2009. Do not make the mistake of treating this as a single aviation security failure, as the broader threat picture has yet to be revealed. The captain and passengers did more than was ever expected of them. Their actions helped save everyone aboard. Now the intelligence and security services need to do their damn jobs, explain how they failed to prevent this in the first place, and determine whether the same warning signs are sitting in other files right now. The question is not only what we missed. It is what we are still missing, and who is next if they fail to find it.

QUICK GUIDE TO LEFTIST MEDIA VOCABULARY: ➡️ Islamic terrorist attack on an Israel-bound plane = Altercation ➡️ U.S.-designated terrorist organization = resistance ➡️ Palestinian serving a life sentence for a deadly bombing = Prisoner ➡️ Hamas militant with press vest = Journalist ➡️ Buildings burning and businesses being destroyed = Fiery but mostly peaceful protests ➡️ Illegal Alien that crossed the border = Undocumented immigrant

Tennessee’s protocol apparently explains what to do after the first dose fails, but not what happens if the inmate survives the second. “Well… now what?” should not be part of an execution procedure.

Jews and Israelis need to rebrand 😬😬😬

Israel wasn’t bombing them…. On October 6, 2023.

"The Millennium Falcon made an earlier-than-scheduled departure from the Death Star after an altercation between Darth Vader and Obi Wan Kenobi."

The Christa Pike situation is just completely insane to me. She was sentenced to death for that horrific 1995 torture and murder of Colleen Slemmer. After decades and decades of appeals, Tennessee finally moved forward w/ her execution last night. They gave her 2 FULL DOSES of pentobarbital. She didn’t die. According to witnesses and her attorneys, she was still breathing, had a heartbeat, and was literally audibly snoring more than 40 minutes later. They actually had to call ambulances to show up and rush her to a hospital. And somehow it gets even crazier... this is Tennessee’s second failed execution this year. The physician involved in Pike’s execution was the exact same one involved in the botched execution attempt of Tony Carruthers back in May. Regardless of where you sit on the death penalty, the state attempting to execute someone, administering the entire lethal dose, and then having to call 911 b/c the person is still alive and snoring is just an absolute level of failure

If only someone had been saying this since 2021….

Whatever Candace Owens says…whatever Tucker Carlson says…whatever Dave Smith says… Megyn Kelly will eventually say, too. Now she’s calling the Israeli response to Hamas’s war a “genocide.” Predictable at this point, but incredibly disappointing.

Just so I’m clear… in the UK, you can go to jail for posting something “offensive,” but if you try to bomb a whole air force base…. That’s cool?

I’ve actually been targeted by one of these scams, but I didn’t fall for it. However, it did shake me a little bit because it is scary. They call pretending to be law enforcement. They know your name. They sound official. Then they tell you that you missed jury duty, there’s a warrant for your arrest, and you need to pay immediately. Now a FL sheriff is publicly calling GA out because investigators say some of these scams are being run by inmates inside Calhoun State Prison and Wheeler Correctional Institution using contraband phones. (One FL woman lost $15K) That’s the part GA needs to answer for. If someone is IN PRISON and still able to sit there with a cellphone, research potential victims, impersonate law enforcement and run scams across state lines, we have a pretty serious prison security problem. And apparently this isn’t new. GA inmates have previously been prosecuted for running jury-duty scams with contraband phones. I’m glad FL is going after the people helping move the money. But GA needs to figure out why people who are literally incarcerated still have the tools to keep victimizing people on the outside.

This photo is from a Missouri (Warrensburg school-district) community event. Can someone explain to me, when did elementary-school events become places for adults to work out their politics? There were volunteers wearing Free Mom Hugs shirts, including one that reportedly said, If your parents aren’t accepting of your identity, I’m your mom. And that’s where you lose me. You are standing at an event full of children and positioning yourself as a substitute parent if their actual parents don’t affirm delusion. Whatever your politics are, that is an incredibly strange boundary to cross with someone else’s child. These are children. Families should be able to attend a school community event without every cultural and political fight in America following them through the gate.

SEE SOMETHING. SAY SOMETHING. Five attackers are now in custody in the UK on suspicion of preparing a terrorist act near RAF Fairford. And here's the part I want people to pay attention to: Someone saw THREE suspicious vehicles heading toward the air base and called police. Someone saw something that didn't look right and said something. You don't have to know you're looking at a terrorist. You don't have to know what they're planning. You just have to recognize when something doesn't make sense and make the call. Make law enforcement do their jobs and figure out the rest.

A woman who specialized in weak men lecturing everyone on what a strong one should do.
