My Chadwick Boseman Story:

In 2014, while interning in DC, I got to go to a promotional event for his new movie ‘Get On Up.’

Before the event started there was a happy hour in the lobby, and everyone was awkwardly standing around mingling. (1/5)

I kept thinking one of the guys we were standing with was the dude I’d seen in the trailer, but I thought there was no way he wasn’t on the red carpet, or swarmed by people, so I just kinda let it be.
(2/5)

Eventually, I just said “Excuse me, not to be weird, but are you one of the guys in this movie?” And he was just casually like “Yeah, I’m Chadwick, what’s up?” As if him being a movie star was as normal as me being a Hill intern. (3/5)

To make it even better, the women in the circle gasped, making it clear that he hadn’t mentioned who he was to them the entire time they were all talking.

He failed to mention in that time that the event we were all at was literally for the movie he was starring in. (4/5)

Eventually some staff members had to come and ASK him to stand on the red carpet so people could take pictures of him.

It’s just a little thing he did, but I always remembered it, and I think it says something about the kind of man he was.

In the last fifty years, the average male’s sperm count has dropped by 62 percent and testosterone rates are down over 30 percent.

We know what’s causing the drop, but very few leaders seem interested in talking about it. So let’s talk about it.

Last month, researchers conducted the largest study on male fertility in history, analyzing data from every region on Earth across the last 50 years.

They found that the average male now has 49 million sperm per ml. In 1970, the average man had 104 million sperm per ml.

The team also discovered that the rate of sperm decline fell rapidly starting around the year 2000.

From 1970 to 1999, sperm rates dropped by 1.1 percent annually. From 2000 to 2018, they dropped 2.6 percent annually.

The FBI has:

-Tried to get MLK to kill himself through blackmail

-Lied to the public about their knowledge of serial sexual abusers

-Intentionally placed innocent Americans on no-fly lists

And people still act like they’re incapable of acting unethically for political gain?

If someone tells you the FBI would never break the law or lie to the public, they’re telling you they aren’t familiar with American history.

There are plenty of good people there, but since it’s inception the FBI has routinely been used for partisan purposes.

Here's the letter the FBI sent MLK, trying to get him to commit suicide (after they'd illegally wiretapped his home.)

Democrats just gave $80 billion to the IRS to expand auditing, and then killed a Republican amendment that would've made sure none of that money goes towards auditing people making under 400k a year.

And then championed their bill as a victory for the middle class...

Low-income households are FOUR TIMES more likely than every other income bracket to be audited by the IRS.

And every single Democrat just voted to keep it that way.

The IRS is now larger than the Pentagon, State Department, FBI and Border Patrol COMBINED.

If there's one thing the Democrats do with incredible efficiency and dedication, it's taking your money.

Shout out to The Washington Post for giving us one of the greatest Shot ---> Chaser moments in recent history

Germany -- which gets 66% of their gas from Russia -- is now so desperate for energy that they're dimming street lights at night, restricting hot water use, and shutting down swimming pools.

I wonder if they're still smirking?

European countries, which outlawed non-green energy over the last three decades, are now resurrecting COAL PLANTS just to survive.

Bill Gates has quietly become the largest farmland owner in America. At the same time, he’s become a leading voice in the push for “synthetic meat.”

Here’s the story of how Bill Gates is waging a war on meat to make millions - and hiding behind “climate change” to do it.

Gates now owns over a quarter million acres of U.S. farmland across 19 states. One of his potato farms is so large it can be seen from space.

He’s purchased much of the land through a variety of shell companies to hide that he was the buyer…

For example, in 2018 a company called Angelina Agriculture purchased $171 million worth of farmland in Washington.

Angelina was based in a Louisiana town with 462 people. It had 2 employees and was under the umbrella of Cascade Investments, which is controlled by... Bill Gates.
