Gallup's Mirror

@Enco

I’ve just come off the phone with my Israeli client, who a) lives in Tel Aviv,  b) is a Brigadier General in the army (top cyber expert) and c) cares deeply about the food issues in Gaza. He describes the efforts being made to pump food into the area.  Until all the remaining hostages are released, this situation is likely to continue.  I…[Read more]

@jakelafort – First blush i punted. Second blush took me 4 or 5 seconds. Sad but true. 

I hope your head did not start spinning? (Just asking for a friend). 🙂

Oh yeah, the extra trillions of national debt to support that horny billionaire class.

Hey to be fair, we’ve always needed more billionaires and corporations to fund political campaigns. Luxurious vacations for SCOTUS. More dynamic gerrymandering. Protection for our pets from rapists, murderers, and other Lefties.

This is my new,…[Read more]

@Strega….Jake is correct, I read it on my phone which is not possessed….with a big screen and misread it 😉 My favorite exorcise this week is to bend over backwards for you so please don’t ghost me!

I was wondering if my subtle pun to Jake was noticed recently……I am a coward too when it comes to the midday sun….

Also…I should have…[Read more]

@Reg

I cannot believe you ignored my pun

I’m not even going to explain it to you. Of all the people. You. The Pun Lord.

@Strega……I walk a min of 10K per day (Yes, 7k is sufficient), run 5k 3 times a week (ok sometimes only once…) and can “dead hang” for 3 minutes on a bad day. I seldom eat meat, mostly fruit, nuts, porridge and Indian vegetarian.  5k yesterday was 26:05…..seldom do I eat processed foods :-). And I am 60…….

”I have started to use it but only on foods I suspect are highly possessed”

You’re OK with these foods, but only if you exorcise daily 🙂

Here is a free app that you can use when shopping;

I have started to use it but only on foods I suspect are highly possessed.

Review here. #It accepted a bullshit email.

From August 1st I am going to forgo any added sugar in my diet.

A doctor in Ireland is warning  about glycerol in colorful slushies.

Another side bar on high fructose corn syrup vs cane sugar, is that the US makes an enormous amount of the high fructose stuff as a by product of all the corn they grow. However, it would appear that the US does not make cane sugar to any large extent, and would need to import the cane sugar from South America. This of course, will also be…[Read more]

There are plenty of names that disguise the sugar hidden in foods.

@jakelafort – I am a coward too when it comes to the midday sun. Anything over the mid 20’s and I am indoors.  Was I chopping chilies? No, just applying sun-cream. Now I can’t read for the next 30 minutes. Silly Billy. SF 50 good, SF 496 bad. If the logocracy takes hold in the mid 2020’s, I am sure you will be on the front line of the resistance,…[Read more]

Here is a recent story about humans ‘helping’ Mother Nature with genetically modified mosquitoes.

Awesome prose, as usual. I was impressed enough to ask AI, and see if it seems smart enough to know if it was written by AI. IMO, it passed my test, although I don’t think the reasoning it gave was…[Read more]

I think this is a more interesting topic than it first seems. At least one group o…[Read more]

Thanks Reg 🙂

Have a great week!!

I rarely pay attention to up-to-the-minute news. But living in Trumpian times is unlike other times in US history. I heard news that Vance visited one of the Murdochs a few days ago, so the 25th amendment may become relevant? To be honest, I’ve lost sleep in some recent days.

Nine minutes long, if you don’t count the last two minutes of the video…[Read more]
