Jillian Michaels says leaving the left felt like 'Neo in the Matrix'

You take the Red Pill and wake up only to see the Sheeple are still asleep and believe the lies

Jillian Michaels described evolving her political views as like Neo in "The Matrix."

"Honestly, it felt a bit like Neo in the Matrix at first because I really did think that, you know, when you're on the left, like you're the empathetic one, you're the good guy, you're the one that cares about people," the 52-year-old fitness icon told Dave Rubin on his "The Rubin Report" podcast.

Part of her evolution involved marrying a conservative "who let me know that that wasn’t the case," she added. "We had very many fights early on in our relationship."

After that, she said she watched the "world invert. Up was down. Right was left. Literally. And being obese became beautiful and healthy and then COVID happened and that was another crazy moment for me. And then I started learning that all the news I had been ingesting was a lie. COVID did not come from a bat in a wet market and it just --- Russia, Russia, Russia wasn’t real."

The US Empire is Crashing

By Gary;

Victory does belong to Iran.

I have been Blogging for years that technology was changing war and we were preparing to fight World War II all over again.

Technology changes everything.

Imagine being the captain of a wooden warship when the ironclads steam out of the harbors.

Or you are a Polish Cavalry office in 1939 facing waves of German tanks.

Or today, when waves of supersonic Iranian missiles just made the air force and navy obsolete.

Our navy had to position themselves 400 to 500 miles away from Iran to avoid being sunk.

The air force has suffered the same fate. Jets delivered bombs to the enemy lines and cities. Now unmanned missiles do the same thing at ultra high speeds.

No matter what happens to this peace agreement, war has changed.

US Empire is Crashing

We cannot defend ourselves or our Arab allies.

Ka Boom Goes The Surface Navy

Target ship hit by two P-270 Moskit (NATO: SS-N-22 Sunburn) anti-ship missiles during Russian Navy Pacific Fleet exercises

The Surface Navy is Dead

Our navy surface ships are pretty much only useful for rescuing people at sea or bullying crap-hole third world nations that cannot defend themselves. But in a real war with a modern military power our ships are little more than expensive sitting ducks for high tech missile target practice.

It's 2026, and the world is on fire. This is one of those magical human moments that's just so beautiful, it makes the pain go away (at least for a little while). GOATS.

George Harrison, best friend to all musicians famous or not. The best Beatle!

I still remember seeing this in 1976. Even as a stupid teenager, watching this on TV, I knew I had seen something very special.

Here Comes The Sun

In a world gone mad I find myself more and more kicking back in my recliner with a quality bottle of gin and losing myself in the words of the great George Harrison.

At least for a little while calm returns to my life.

Maybe that is the answer. Just tell the world to go to Hell and live for yourself.
