Those creepy crawly critters pack a lot of protein and other nutritional benefits.When it comes to increasing our protein intake, we often look to tried-and-true sources. But
what if we told you there was another option? There's a tiny but mighty game changer that contains not only the protein you need to keep up your energy, but also fiber — an essential nutrient for your gut health. Enter the world of entomophagy, or the practice of eating bugs! While this concept may seem foreign, insects have been a staple in diets around the world for thousands if not millions of...

The powerful influence of Valerie Biden Owens—Joe’s ‘final gut check’

| 07/21/2023 | Isabel Vincent and Miranda Devine
The IRS was stopped from questioning Joe Biden’s sister, Valerie Biden Owens — said to be the president’s “final gut-check” in decision-making — about cash she received from Hunter Biden, a whistleblower has claimed. Biden
Owens received a payment via Venmo from the first son, according to an interview with IRS whistleblower Joseph Ziegler, a 13-year IRS veteran who gave testimony to the House Committee on Ways and Means last month. “So I continually ask, ‘Can I go and interview them?’ And those were always met with ‘no,'” said Ziegler, who was known as “whistleblower #2” in the Ways and...

‘TRUMPIEST TRUMPSTER OF THE BUNCH’: GOP GETS A GUT CHECK

| 4/17/21
Earlier this month, the Omaha World-Herald reported that former Gov. Dave Heineman was considering running, a development confirmed by sources who have spoken with him. Heineman
is not without Trump credentials. He was an honorary chair of Trump’s reelection campaign in Nebraska and sat on the board of directors of one of Herbster’s companies. And other contenders are already incorporating Trump into their early overtures to the electorate. In an introductory video for his campaign, Jim Pillen, a University of Nebraska regent and top tier primary contender, promised to “defend President Trump’s progress on growing our economy and fighting hard...

We are a few days away from a rendezvous with some tough conclusions about COVID-19. A number of concurrent developments are coming to a head. Most
will bring light where so far there was only heat. Greater information about the virus might cause as much acrimony as conciliation. Some experts will be discredited, others reaffirmed. Antibody testing is expected to get under way shortly. Soon, several representative studies will give the country an accurate idea of how many Americans have been infected in the past few months. With a more trustworthy denominator to compare against known deaths, we will finally...

Gut Check: Gas-Sniffing Capsule Charts The Digestive Tract
|
| |
NPR ^
It's an ingestible electronic capsule that senses certain gases released in the human gut – some of the same stuff that you may already be familiar with when it eventually passes into the open air. The
capsule's creator, electrical engineer Kourosh Kalantar-Zadeh, a professor at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, says that the device has already begun revealing secrets about the human gut. To test the capsule, Kalantar-Zadeh enlisted 26 healthy volunteers – one being himself. Each person ate the same diet to help rule out food as a cause for different results, except for two volunteers who ate a...

Fact Check: Dem claims that Senate bill guts Medicaid ignore billions in new funding
|
| |
Fox News.com ^
| June 27, 2017 | Brooke Singman
File under, ‘only in Washington.’ While Democrats are howling that the Senate’s health care bill would gut Medicaid, a closer look at the numbers shows the legislation actually would increase spending to the safety-net program—by tens of billions of dollars. According
to the latest ‘score’ from the Congressional Budget Office, Medicaid spending would rise from $393 billion in 2017 to $464 billion in 2026—that’s a $71 billion, or 18 percent, increase. So how are Democrats describing this as a Medicaid cut? Because even a $71 billion increase is considerably smaller than what taxpayers would see under current law. If nothing...

American Gut Check [UNHINGED NYT OP ED / BARF ALERT]

nytimes.com ^
You can imagine Donald Trump sitting on his golden throne in the Las Vegas hotel he built with all that cheap Chinese steel, imagine him trying to keep every molecule of reality from entering the room. He’s
seething, because his numbers are cratering. And yet, in his mind he cannot be losing. So, everything is rigged. When he takes the debate stage, he does not smile. The closest thing to it is a sore-loser sneer for failing to get an Emmy out of a reality television show that allowed him to belittle women. He tries to act normal — to...

1. HILLARY WILL INITIALLY LAUGH LIKE A DRUNKEN FAIRGROUND HARLEQUIN But it will be followed by an awkward silence, then she will address the moderator with a canned statement, and the world yawns. It
won’t work, for anyone.

Gut Check: Trump's Plus, And Minus

Let’s begin with the late Andrew Breitbart’s often repeated quote: "Politics is downstream from culture." Meaning,
culture influences politics, not the reverse – and until conservatives figure out a way to take the culture back from the left, we cannot win.

Gut-Check Time On Religious Freedom

| April 3, 2015 | Mark Davis
Funny thing. I don’t know a single liberal who is looking hard in the mirror saying, “Dang, I need to back off of my willingness to trample the sensibilities of Bible-believing Christians.” And yet, among the ranks expected (and in some cases, elected) to uphold religious rights, a collapse is under way
from city halls to Governor’s mansions. For a couple of days, some leaders were bold enough to back legislation that would thwart the modern fad of smearing faith-based business policies as bigotry. But upon feeling the sting of media scolding, and sensing the public releasing its grip on...

Gut Check: Your Own Personal Blasphemy
|
| |
Breitbart's Big Hollywood ^
| February 9, 2015 | Greg Gutfeld
The common definition of blasphemy is simple: an affront to faith or belief, an offense to god or what you believe to be spiritually sacred. This
definition has widened, however, to encompass truly anything you hold sacred. No longer just a religious term, people apply blasphemy to language about gender, social issues, climate, pets, their heroes, their countries, even their health practices, favorite bands or teams. Mind you, this is different from the faux outrage I wrote an entire book about (see the delightful The Joy of Hate), in which people trump up phony anger based on assorted violations of...

Independent Journal Review ^

Mike Rowe is again going viral, this time after he candidly answered a fan’s question about the events surrounding Ferguson aftermath and the non-indictment of Officer Darren Wilson. The question from his Facebook wall reads: Hello Mr. Mike Rowe. I’m a big fan and also happen to work in the lower Haight
as well as live in Alameda. I have to ask with everything that is going on in Ferguson, how do you feel about the protests in SF as well as the looting/rioting in downtown Oakland? While lengthy, Mike’s response eloquently answers not only the question posed, but also...
