TALK TO ME, TEXT IT

Holiday lights, hot takes, and a double-header that doesn’t flinch. We open the first day of December with a quick pulse check—trees up, Elfie sighting, and a birthday countdown—then dive straight into a blistering report card on the FBI under Director Cash Patel with Dan Bongino as deputy. The critique, sourced from active and retired insiders, calls the bureau a “rudderless ship,” dings Patel’s judgment in the wake of the Charlie Kirk assassination case, and accuses leadership of chasing optics and social media clout. We unpack the claims, the anonymous “Alpha” sources, and the old fault lines over politicization and culture. Are these red flags about competence, or a factional knife fight dressed up as accountability?

Then we pivot from political turbulence to a medical shocker: the rise of “scromiting,” the colloquial term for cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome. Chronic cannabis users are reporting waves of extreme nausea, violent vomiting, and abdominal pain—sometimes for days—leading to dehydration, ER visits, and scary recoveries. We examine why the condition is spiking, what researchers and clinicians are seeing, and how social platforms like TikTok spread both warnings and confusion. The hard truth is simple and unglamorous: frequency matters, potency matters, and for some, the only real fix is to stop.

Throughout, we keep the tone candid and curious, testing how we judge credibility—whether it’s law enforcement under scrutiny or health risks wrapped in internet virality. If you’re here for media literacy, institutional trust, and straight talk on personal choices, you’ll feel right at home.
