You have come across a mystery box. But what is inside?

It could be literally anything from the serene to the horrific,

from the beautiful to the repugnant,

from the mysterious to the familiar.

If you decide to open it, you could be disappointed,

you could be inspired, you could be appalled.

This is not for the faint of heart or the easily offended.

You have been warned.

Democrat Dystopian Nightmare...

And my head I'd be a scratchin' While my thoughts are busy hatchin' If I only had a brain.

Meanwhile, the Biden Administration Seems Poised to Let Insulin Prices Spike

While the California recall, Nicki Minaj’s thoughts on the COVID vaccine and testicles, and General Milley’s insane rogue operation are dominating headlines, the Biden administration is quietly moving ahead with a plan that will cost many taxpayers a lot at the pharmacy.

This follows the media’s complete ignoring of Mississippi launching a lawsuit against insulin makers for actions that allegedly held insulin prices up artificially high, the media’s constant depiction of Democrats as the only party focused on drug prices even though a bunch of proposals Democrats are now pursuing actually emanated from Donald Trump, the media ignoring Sen. Charles Grassley having a lengthy history of going after pharmaceutical companies over high prices and even everyone bar CNN— for the duration of a live interview anyway— ignoring Mitt Romney saying he wanted to work with Democrats on drug pricing literally right after Election Day 2020.

Roughly 10 percent of the American public has diabetes, and a new report indicates that the country’s three major insulin makers are jacking up their profits by refusing to sell it at a discount to a bunch of community pharmacies. The federal government has already slapped the companies for doing this, said it’s unlawful, and told them to knock it off. But of course, they are litigating because according to Eli Lilly (one of the big insulin-makers), they’re earning higher revenue while their discount-denying policies remain in effect.

For the record, Lilly started cutting off the discounts in question in July 2020.

Between 1999 and 2019, the report says, insulin manufacturers increased product prices by 1200%. They also seem to have worked in tandem to hike prices in a way that seems like it might violate antitrust laws (but even if it doesn’t, was pretty ruthless for diabetes patients). A 2020 Senate Finance Committee report showed that when one company increased its insulin price, then the other two would follow suit. This pattern applied with these 340B discounted sales: According to this new report, Lilly started cutting off 340B discounts in July 2020, then AstraZeneca did the same in October 2020, and Sanofi did it in March 2021.

So, why the media silence? Largely because it’s boring. They can pursue an agenda with the fallout of the California recall. They can check off a lot of interest boxes with the Nicki Minaj story (especially since Tucker Carlson is now involved). They can continue making Ron DeSantis their chosen opponent in 2024. But, there just isn’t anything that sexy to them where the quite-possibly-impending insulin price spike is concerned. It doesn’t interest...

WATCH: Gen. Milley’s Shocking Admission About ‘Commonalities’ With the Chinese Communist Party.

General Milley is captured on camera lauding the brutal, oppressive, genocidal regime.

General Mark Milley – who participated in secret phone calls with Chinese military leaders while pledging to not carry out then-President Donald Trump’s orders – revealed he “hesitates” to call China an enemy, insisting he trusts the Chinese Communist Party to be forthright with its military ambitions in remarks unearthed by The National Pulse.

Milley – who used a treasonous backchannel to inform Chinese Communist Party officials that he would alert them ahead of U.S. military actions – divulged his view of the regime while speaking at the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) Land Warfare Conference in 2017.

“I would hesitate to call China an enemy. Some would say adversary. Others would say enemy. Some would say hostile. I think they are what the slide implies.”
– General Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, 2017

The slide referenced by Milley reads: “The Modernisation of Land Forces to Deliver Land Power Decisively in an Era of Constant Competition.”

“They’re a competitor and the competition between the United States and China has a military dimension to it, but that is a far cry and that’s a long leap between that and enemy,” he added, before concluding, “there is a lot of time between now and any time the United States and China would become quote-on-quote an enemy where armed conflict were to be pursued.”

RUSI, an establishment British think-tank, summarized Milley’s speech by noting “China and the United States are competitors, not enemies” in a tweet from the event.

Speaking about his worldview regarding China, Milley admitted “that is a construct, though, that we use, that I use within the United States Army” at the event which he noted had Chinese Communist Party military officers in attendance.

“There’s a lot of commonality, areas of common interest.”

In addition to his rejection of the belief that the Chinese Communist Party is not an enemy of the United States, Milley also reveals he takes the regime “at their word” concerning their military ambitions:
