I love the United States. I love its culture, its freedoms, its entrepreneurial spirit. I studied at @cornell, and was a visiting professor at @cornell, Dartmouth 🌲, and UC Irvine. I return to SoCal every year where I've lived and have had family for nearly 35 years. I spend tons

Courage is probably the highest ROI character trait right now & the most valuable form isn't one most of us have practiced. It's not taking the leap, it's maintaining focus & enthusiasm while you're in freefall

It seems like the radical Left is having its 1st second thoughts about the wisdom of telling 1/2 of humanity that it‘s toxic from birth w/ permanent original sin. I wish I were kidding. Welcome back to the nutty Left. But it wasn’t just Dr Jordan B Peterson. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Lockdown can't persist until a validated treatment or vaccine. I take COVID very seriously, and I don't think it's reasonable to pursue herd immunity. But we need to start seeing some solid proposals for the next phase of the war.

This story is heartbreaking Firefighter saves up for his dream business, a sports bar Rioters in MN destroyed it This GoFundMe is for him to get it all back I hope this can be a reminder to him and everyone that good people got your back gofundme.com/f/scores-bar-m…

I know your pain, your rage, your sense of despair and hopelessness. Justice has, indeed, been denied for far too long. Rioting, looting, and burning is not the way. Organize. Demonstrate. Sit-in. Stand-up. Vote. Be constructive, not destructive. johnlewis.house.gov/media-center/p…

In the last two days I have seen Ben Shapiro say we're all agreed on George Floyd. I have seen Glenn Loury say black people need the cops. I've talked to cops angry about George Floyd 's mistreatment and death. Why are we letting Trump and the anarchists push us into civil war?

Interestingly and not at all irrelevant is this incredible passage. White liberals decide unanimously to expel the schools police. The black students who love the black police officer are crushed:

The #darkhorseduo plan to rescue the Republic that I discussed with Joe Rogan is in motion with lots of support The plan's official hashtag is #Unity2020. Have a look, and please spread the word. This can work but we have to move fast! link.medium.com/mtXkzCkLI7

Things are heating up fast. Nothing on the standard map is going to halt the march toward self-destruction. We must save the Republic--EVERYONE is depending on it, even these #BlackLivesMatter protestors. Please join #unity2020 before it's too late. And spread the word!

ICU physician here. This week I -treated dozens with COVID -saw our ICU add 25% capacity -planned for worst case scenario (triage) Despite this, I agree with the masses that the new outdoor ON restrictions are: -unscientific -antithetical to wellness on a population level
