Crazy idea but what about copy pasting Jeff’s daily C&C post into Grok and requesting an animated Jeff or assigned avatar sitting at a newscaster desk giving a multimedia presentation of the content with the links and relevant clips embedded. That’s surely possible by now, isn’t it? Then we could have that news segment linked to watch on say YouTube? Not that I don’t enjoy reading it aloud everyday to my husband and my sis.

I often read C&C aloud to my husband. I read articles and books aloud to him when we're driving and running errands. At a Jiffy Lube recently while I was reading aloud in our car during an oil change, the tech could hear me through the open window and got caught up in what I was reading. It was a book about Teddy Roosevelt. 😂

There IS copyright to think of...

And human creators are increasingly sensitive to AI "rip-offs" of what they made popular by their own brow-sweat.

"I'm no lawyer," but I think authors would welcome inquiries about "licensing" their intellectual property. "Fair-use" law, I think, may not have anticipated "AI Data Centers Scraping Everything Everywhere 24/7."

Not a crazy idea by any means, but potentially a dangerous one. The gifted creator of Calvin and Hobbes famously asked people to stop re-publishing his cartoons without permission, essentially asking people to "honor" him the old-fashioned way: by buying.

Yesterdays C&C was almost too good. There was nothing but accurate assessments.

Unfortunately today balances the previous review with pure Catholocism.

Was raised in that darkness. Affluenza typically had not just one carcass on the dinner table,

but two "options".

Demonizing "carbs" is nutritional illiteracy as it does not differentiate simple from complex.

However its worse. Because those complex carbs are typically glyphosate grown and field dried with the toxin, eating non Organic is a really bad choice.

Take home/ it ain't the carbs, its the Roundup. Gluten or Glyphosate?? which is the culprit??

Not lost is the fact that cows and pigs are at the top of the food chain (basic Biology) and concentrate toxins, making that "choice" sub optimal. So.

Any graduate gardener comprehends that they are well advised to feed the fungi and soil, that in turn feeds the chosen crop. That creates life. Abundantly.

Now that Janice has retired, perhaps a gentle Catholic might opine on exactly why Jesus was

so enraged that He flipped tables? Hint: What were they selling???

What did he teach about burnt offerings??

Well, we knew it was coming. Hard to believe that an individual of such paltry character - exceedingly insufficient in both deeds and speech…a most pathetic, unpleasant, shady, good-for-nothing schmuck of a creature - could be solely responsible for inciting a Civil War. There’s a GENUINE insurrection unfolding by the minute in Minnesota, and let’s be clear: This collection of misguided wayward ragtags have, predictably, taken to the streets pledging unwavering support to a foreign criminal cartel - led by their own state's governor - that has knowingly…systematically been ripping off honest, hard working Minnesotans for years. Putting a stop to this upsets them. "Never underestimate the power of stupid people." George Carlin, meet George Floyd 2.0…. on roids. National Guard vs. Feds....that should be interesting. If I'm National Guard, I'm thinking long game. I'd bow out of this one...immediate consequences be damned. Rumor has it ICE is hiring.

To add a brief side note: It ain't hard. They make it hard. Too easily triggered by media lies and bias. The Establishment will win over your mind every time. Get a freaking hobby. Discover the joys of stamp collecting. Take up fencing. Plant a flower garden…something. If you’re an emotional infant just get the hell off the streets and stop interfering.

Its so obvious this lady was a paid agitator.

Riddle me this Batman:

1) she was from Colorado.

Why is she in Minneapolis?

2) where and who is she staying with while in Minneapolis?

3) why is she driving a vehicle with Missouri license plates if she’s from Colorado?

I could list more, but the obvious is exhausting.

The revolution is always first with the Left. Always.

Maybe Walz and Frey should focus on the 50% increase in homicides since their tenure started.

They won't because the left always needs revolutionary actors.

Solzhenitsyn identified this 80 years ago:

“Your punishment for having a knife when they searched you would be very different from the thief’s. For him to have a knife was mere misbehavior, tradition, he didn’t know any better. But for you to have one was ‘terrorism.’”

The destruction of the natural family is of biblical proportions. I remember back years ago when they coined the term domestic partnership, and the civil marriages started, knowing full well it would move to forced church weddings with the threat of removing tax exempt status for noncompliance. It's been so detrimental, this concept of "domestic partnerships". My brother-in-law got divorced and has been living with another woman for several years and has joint custody of their three daughters. I kind of pulled them aside and said hey, why don't you just get married? It's not a great look for your kids. And they just said something about domestic partnership, blah blah blah which isn't even a civil marriage in court to them, just living together. So this has affected all types of situations. The highest legal divorce rate is among lesbians, and I actually was one of those people that thought adoption of children by same-sex couples would pull some of those children out of bad sexual abuse situations in foster care. But now I don't even believe that anymore because of all the abuse situations that have come to light. There aren't enough mill stones on earth to take care of these reprobates.

Minnesota Law, Ted Foss Move Over Law (MN Statutes 169.18 Subd. 11), requires vehicles to move over or slow down significantly when encountering emergency/service vehicles to protect the people involved. Here you have someone inserting themselves into a law enforcement action, with a vehicle that can be used as a deadly weapon, ignoring law enforcement commands and accelerating said vehicle with a law enforcement agent in it's path. It is unfortunate that this death occurred but who in their right mind would place themselves, law enforcement and innocent bystanders in harms way by trying to interfere with these lawful actions? By law, you have to get out of the way for tow trucks on the highway in Minnesota. This is just plain dangerous and in this case deadly.

This gives even more authority for ICE to respond with force while in MN and under their statute. Noem and Trump have both made it clear deadly force will be used if an agent’s life is threatened, as it should do so.

I'm sad that her behavior got her killed. That said, Go Fund Me or some such was set up and raised $500,000 in 15 hours. Compare that to a young girl I saw on the Fox News Tonight show last night. Trace Gallagher was in the Pallisades fire area in L.A. to talk to people and show how next to nothing has been done to allow/help people rebuild their lives and homes. The CA and city govt holds everything up via impossible permits, and the insurance companies are dragging their feet and aren't paying out, probably in the hopes that people will give up rebuilding and then corporate buyers can rush in and take the property (well, take the land because the houses are gone). People whose homes were damaged and still unlivable can't get insurance help either. Worse, there was a big Fire Aid Fund set up and Hollywood celebrities were getting people to donate. The $100 million collectted was supposedly for the fire victims, but guess who got the money? Not the fire victims who were supposed to get all of the money. No, it went to Democrat advocacy groups, undocumented immigrants, podcasters, non-profit organization salaries and benefits. It doesn't sound like actual fire victims got a cent. So this is a big emerging scandal landing on Newsom, and the people in fire area are furious.

So this young girl was gratefully talking about how she and others had set up a Go Fund Me to help people who were not rich and who were in dire straits at this point a year later, and she was so happy to have raised $45,000. So that's $45K in almost a full year, and compare that to the $500K in 15 hours for a protester. And then there's the $100 million raised for but stolen from the fire victims.

SH's avatar

Yeah, that "fire aid money" - https://www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/news/house-republicans-release-report-on-fireaid-fund-distribution/

Organizers of last January's FireAid benefit concert are once again facing accusations that the $100 million in donations did not directly help victims of the Los Angeles fires, after House Republicans published findings from their investigation on Tuesday.

Here is a run down of it https://www.fireaidla.org/grants

When they were collecting for it, they promised to help residents directly, that's what most people seemed to think their donations were going towards.

"The Latham & Watkins Investigative Report (that is Cali speak for an 'Audit' by the the organizers' law firm) highlights numerous examples of impact including the Change Reaction providing direct assistance totaling $1 million in aid, in the form of 197 direct cash grants to help people with rent, clothing, school supplies, furniture, food, and medication, among other needs."

- Let's see, $1M divided by 197 = $5076. - so just those 197 people

got about $5K each - for RENT in Commiefornia? put of $100 Mil

- Oh dear, oh dear .... lots of "childcare" listed. (shades of Minn?)

- Foster kids, about 4 different agencies

- Lots of "animal welfare" grants in there.

- Some donated funds used for payroll expenses at some nonprofits,

including the Neighborhood Legal Services of Los Angeles County, which

provided 'free' legal aid to fire victims. - is that still free if you pay $$?

- Some illegals being helped....

Sorry, I can't bear to look at any more of it, since the actual PEOPLE impacted were not helped. Infuriating.

I would not be at all surprised if the DC cop was TOLD to shoot a protester in hopes of riling up other protesters and making them violent.

And I would not be surprised if Officer Siknick's stroke wasn't actually a stroke. I wonder if someone on the left killed him, hoping that his death would get attributed to the rioters. The people high up on the left don't care who they have to kill to get their ends.

This was just a few weeks after the clot shots rolled out, so it's pretty unlikely the police would have taken them yet.

Skip to **8:14**. The video slows the footage and clearly shows the officer positioned to the right (the SUV’s passenger side). The SUV then backs up, turns toward the officer, and accelerates— but the wheel spins on the ice. As the wheel turns toward the officer and he hears the engine rev, he draws his weapon and fires. As he fires the wheel then turns towards the right.

It’s a very compelling sequence, and I sincerely hope news outlets, social media, and podcasters take the time to review it carefully.

Another video, taken from inside a nearby home, also clearly shows the officer being struck by the vehicle.

According to reports, the woman had been moving her SUV back and forth in the road to prevent the agents from getting past her. Her “wife” was sitting on the sidewalk specifically so she could record the incident.I hope that footage is eventually released as well.

Thank you, Ryan for this information. I was unaware of the suspicious nature of her residency. Apparently, members of her own family have basically stated that she was a prime example of someone who followed a FAFO mentality ( my take on what they have said ). Yes, we are in the hot takes phase, but it appears, and I am predicting that the ICE officer and his fellow officer who was standing on the driver’s side door area of the car, will be cleared of all wrongdoing. It’s a very traumatic situation all around, for the agent/s, their families, and for the deceased’s children. Sad, although inevitable in the current environment.

His Jan 4, 2026 post - "When the System Becomes the Enemy"

"life under systems to protect rights and peace is a good thing. such systems are worthy of protection. but what we must protect them from most of all is corruption and capture, misuse and manipulation. if a system is what a system does, then a corrupt system is corruption and it becomes the enemy.

"and the pivot comes.

"when one loses faith in systems and starts to see them as useless, or worse, rigged, then it both moral and sensible to tear these systems down. not just step outside them, efface them.

"this is why the people who have captured these systems hate trump so much. it’s not personal, it’s that he is coming to take away their pretense to power, revealing it as illusion and helping tigers become tigers again."

The people crying about the agitator who was shot in Minneapolis are largely the same people who cheered Charlie Kirk's death. They would have cheered if the driver had killed ICE agents. So for them, it's not a question of right or wrong, but rather whose team you are on.

Further, democrat leaders, such as the mayor of Minneapolis, Walz, Omar, etc., view people like Renee Good as expendable. They welcome and crave such an event because of the additional popularity and attention it brings to them. They probably care less about Renee Good as a person than the agent who felt it necessary to shoot her.

Great point about bullet entry vector.

I looked at the photo of the woman and the video, and it is my opinion that she is the type to firmly believe that she has "white privilege" and could get away with trying to run over an ICE agent.

It is also my opinion, although I obviously don't really know, that ICE agents have been warned to avoid killing black or brown people, knowing that that would immediately be stirred into riots.

It looks like white privilege ran into "coddle POC'' instructions.

But lesbian? I heard she was a single mother of one child, whose father died two years ago. And of course I thought, why would a young man die in 2023? Probably the GMO injectable.

The practice involved a ritualistic cutting of the abdomen with a short blade, often followed by a swift decapitation by a second (a kaishakunin) to end the suffering

I don’t know if anyone else caught it but Walz went into painstaking detail that the National Guard was theirs, they were their own citizens, doctors, lawyers, teachers, small business owners (he said,) almost as if reassuring the rioters that they would indeed be on their side and fighting WITH them. If the PD is anything to go by last night when Nick Sorter tried to get their help, Walz is correct. They even asked Sorter if he was white! They basically left him to fend for himself and refused to help. If THEY are part of the Guard, this WILL become a Civil War. And frankly maybe it’s time for one because I’m so tired of all this lawlessness.

Belling the Cat's avatar

Unfortunately, that's not how these things play out in the real world of human beings. Civil wars aren't short & sweet with neat endings but vicious & bitter, inflicting wounds that suppurate for generations. Getting emotional about it, or desperate, ensures maximum opportunity for manipulators to make things worse, as 'influencers' and viral social media already do, but far deadlier. It will be spirals of violence against personal rivals, political enemies, scapegoats of all description, passersby, the girl who dumped some loser on the other side but along with her whole neighborhood, locking folks in a church or the university DEI office and burning it down. It happens. Safe and sane is a million miles away.

If there are semi-domesticated progs happy to change their minds at gunpoint, the woman in Minn. wasn't one of them, nor her fellow travelers now doubling down. It would be unwise to discount hordes of illegals and others unassimilated, who have no reason not to exacerbate and prolong hot civil war - for their own gain or just for spite. If we'd like to believe there are countries that won't mobilize to get in on the action, can anyone think they won't make sure to get in on the spoils?

Who's going to be patrolling the borders and coastlines while we fight each other? Who's maintaining basic services, from sanitation to arresting common criminals? Who produces oil and gas -- immediate targets of enemy action that blow up real good -- much less takes care of getting it out to businesses and regular folk for survival and daily life? Who enforces contracts, meets payroll, keeps the lights on? Who's defending the Western Hemisphere as our essential buffer from the rest of the world's predators while we're focused on living through economic supply and production disruptions worse than lockdowns?

A glance at historical cases like Syria, Kosovo, Sudan, Spain, and many more, should serve to convince that the fantasy of a quick & decisive civil war that restores (one side's version of) stability [much less prosperity] has as much chance of happening on this earth as Mamdani's NYC becoming the first paradise of true communism.

The Sarcastic Teacher

“If there are any idiots in the room, will they please stand up,” said the sarcastic teacher.

After a long silence, one freshman rose to his feet.

“Now then mister, why do you consider yourself an idiot?” inquired the teacher with a sneer.

“Well, actually I don’t,” said the student, “but I hate to see you standing up there all by yourself.”

The Linguistics Lecture

An MIT linguistics professor was lecturing his class the other day. “In English,” he said, “a double negative forms a positive. However, in some languages, such as Russian, a double negative remains a negative. But there isn’t a single language, not one, in which a double positive can express a negative.”

A voice from the back of the room said, “Yeah, right.”

A Penny for Your Thoughts

A guy said to God, “God, is it true that to you a billion years is like a second?”

God said yes.

The guy said, “God, is it true that to you a billion dollars is like a penny?”

God said yes.

The guy said, “God, can I have a penny?”

God said, “Sure, just a second.”

A Christian Bear

A man is walking through the woods when he sees a bear charging at him.

He books it, but he knows he can’t outrun a bear for long, so he starts praying, “Dear Lord, I beseech thee. Please, O Lord, please let this bear be a Christian!”

The bear catches up to him, knocks him down on the ground, then gets on its knees and says, “Dear Lord, thank you for this food I am about to receive…”

The Scared Cab Driver

A taxi passenger tapped the driver on the shoulder to ask him a question.

The driver screamed, lost control of the car, nearly hit a bus, went up on the footpath, and stopped inches from a shop window.

For a second, everything was quiet in the cab. Then the driver said, “Look, mate, don’t ever do that again. You scared the living daylights out of me!”

The passenger apologized and said, “I didn’t realize that a little tap would scare you so much.”

The driver replied, “Sorry, it’s not really your fault. Today is my first day as a cab driver — I’ve been driving a funeral van for the last 25 years.”

That’s moving toward Fort Sumpter. Insurrection Act coming. Imagine this maniac was almost Vice President. Or at least that’s what the Dems wanted. Now, what they clearly want is a civil war. All this sanctuary stuff and ignoring federal law which has festered in blue states for many years is about to come to a head.

In 2009 after the crash, the market was flooded with sub-100k nice single family homes.

The FED then digitally printed and bankrolled companies like BlackRock to immediately buy them from the banks, robbing American home buyers, and once purchased began raising the market price to the obscene levels we now see today. I watched this outright crime happen in real time. Everytime these markets "crash" they are timed to be bought by elites for pennies, robbing us and concentrating wealth to the top.

"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered.... I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.... The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."

I guess I will end up losing whatever liberal friends I had left. So be it. I have boiling anger for the hospital dietary cabal. I remember my sister sobbing after a kidney transplant as they served her a turkey lunch meat sandwich, chocolate pudding, Jell-O, and orange juice. I wouldn't serve that meal to someone on death row. Transplant patients are never supposed to eat any lunch meat at all due to potential listeria poisoning which causes organ failure. You can't even make this up because this was actually considered a very good hospital on the East Coast. I remember my sister saying what's wrong with them? I'm starving and I can't even eat this. And the amount of sugar on the rest of that tray was absolutely criminal. You can't hate the hospital medical complex enough.

Hey Kevin - I was only talking about the “two ICE agents who approached her car” as I said above.

As Jeff said, we’ll have to see how the facts all play out but supposedly the officer in front had been dragged by a fleeing car last summer so, if that’s true, I’m sure he wasn’t going to put himself in that life endangering situation again - with good cause.

That was the word for the people who were able to own land once Caesar banned the institutions (patricians) from having more than 1/3 of their wealth in land and made them have to divest if they had more.

This is a great idea and has been proven to enlarge the economic pie and better the nation in the real world.

Non Patricians had something new: Equity, which was right to land but not patrician privileged and the Roman middle class with that were called equities and the word continues to this day.

Here! Here!

State and local action is needed on all of these reforms. Our property taxes went up this year, 150% of what they were last year, to pay for progs who run the urban fraud centers and giveaways.

Thank you Jeff 🙏 it’s so evident that the health of our citizens reflects the health of our country. Sick citizens create a sick society, as we are witnessing, especially in Democrat controlled cities that promote welfare and poor education and eating disorders. We see how the poison food that has destroyed our healthy gut, has now caused a pandemic of mental illness, and extremely dangerous and destructive behavior. Hence the new socialist democrat party. So evidently the party of mental illness.

Was it any surprise the woman who bated ICE all day was a gay (indoctrinated) lesbian activist

Bad choices led to her three kids being orphaned. Maybe Soros will send them to college

If she is gay, how did she have kids? And if she adopted them, who in their right mind would allow children to be with a maniac? She and george floyd, two losers that did nothing good or positive in the world. Karma.

Her older bull dyke partner goaded her to come and harass ICE based on her yelling that “I am to blame I persuaded her to come” once she saw the bloody mess that was once her wife

NYPost....she has been twice married....first husband died...two children with him...second husband divorced....one child with him...she moved one year ago to MN....Really? Do you actually need someone on this thread to answer your question? You couldn't do your own research?

Wouldn't her having a "wife" (who was standing nearby filming the whole thing) mean she was married three times then?

So she was straight and turned gay. Oy Vey, thats all I have to say about that. As far as research, I would not spend 2 seconds wasting my time looking up her background but thanks for asking nonetheless with your POS attitude. You took the time to look it up so you must be no prize either. Next.

Did you not know that they’re allowing gays to adopt children? Gay couples are being accused of molesting babies until they are dead?

Crazy maniacal Rosie O’Donnell adopted children. Some of them left as soon as the turned 18 and have told how crazeeee she is.

I did know but if she is gay did she adopt or have sex with a man just to have babies. Was trying to figure it all out.

Four years ago after almost losing my life a decade early I learned how corrupt and blind our medical institutions were, and how our nutritionists had been indoctrinated and were misleading us, along with the government, a d how the food pyramid was upside down and the cause of our bad health. (Thank you Nina Ticholz). I studied diet and nutrition for three long months 24/7, switched my household to support a Keto diet, and within six months was off over 14 prescription drugs I had relied on the prior 25 years. Four years later I sit here with only sever osteoporosis caused by the prescription drugs, but none of the other conditions. I haven’t felt midday drowsy in four years, energy of my 20s, mental clarity better than any time in my life. My primary food is meat and its accompanying fat. I limit my fruits and veggies to those with a higher fiber content. I use intermittent fasting, and an occasional extended fast. I actually added years to my life visibly too, easily looking ten years younger today than I looked four years ago.

My household that supported my diet? My husband dropped ALL his excess weight and is very fit today, and my older son is also more fit than he has ever been and has better mental health.

My younger son joined me my first year, dropped ALL his extra fat, looked amazing, had better attention levels and lower anxiety. He fell off due to crazy college schedules and today is back to where he was eating the bad processed food, overweight again, and struggling mentally. Luckily he sees the connection to his diet and is trying to get back into a low carb habit again.

That is incredible! I am especially interested in the connection between metabolic health and mental health. It sounds very promising to help with a number of conditions.

Expand full comment
Juju's avatar

A really good book about the connection is Dr Chris Palmer’s “Brain Energy”.

We’ve seen first hand amazing positive results for mental health in three of us. As well as better treatment for many of the spectrum issues my kids face, and myself for that matter. There is definitely something to ketones feeding the brain instead of glucose.

It's too bad the new recommendations still limit saturated fat, though.

There are good fats and bad fats....Eat the way your grandparents did (or great-grandparents, depending on your age)....I haven't eaten non-butter for multiple decades and buy French brand butter....from cows producing A2 milk....As my grandmother 55 years ago said as she watched me cut off the fat from her award-winning pot roast: "A little fat won't hurt you.".....BTW, she lived to be 93 and still full facultied and at home.....she would have most likely have lived longer if the doctor hadn't ignored her sulphur allergy...

Too low on veg/fruit as well. But overall, much much improved.

Logically...since it doesn't have a flat polygonal base, it's not and never was a pyramid, no matter which way it's pointed.

Now that you understand that a pyramid is a shape with 3 dimensions and the food thingie only ever had two, you will agree that the original use of "pyramid" was merely rhetorical and not meant to describe an actual structure in space, and the current nomenclature of food pyramid merely repeats that nomenclature for familiarity's sake.

"Invert food triangle" just doesn't flow off the tongue the same way, now does it?

Or is that too complex for you?
