Bro. A

Exactly. The problem of our era is equating ease, comfort, and pleasure with good and greatest value. Historically and in nearly every human life’s experience there are so many counter examples to this fallacy that it’s unbelievable so many are just now realizing the truth: that which is of greatest value in life usually demands a cost, whether in treasure, effort, prolonged discomfort, physical/mental/emotional discipline and divisiveness, or at the very minimum time trade-offs, and personal sacrifice.

@DomMorganFL @bulkbiker @lowcarbGP @DrBPHealth @CampbellMurdoch @KenDBerryMD @rcgp @lowcarb_aus @thelowcarb_rd @drjasonfung @SBakerMD @bigfatsurprise @OfficialADSOrg @DiabetesUK Agreed but this is a mammoth task considering the fact that Carbohydrates have been our major source of glucose for ages now. I am with you for the change. Logistics is a huge issue in present agricultural produce and pattern. 👍🏻

There is remarkably little sugar in your blood ONLY ONE TEASPOON of glucose in your entire bloodstream!! This is why small amounts of carbohydrates put blood sugar up so much if you have T2 Diabetes where insulin is not working properly @CampbellMurdoch I think you gave me this slide 🙏

@collinsworth55 Holy crap! Look at that hair!!! What a blessing! All the best to your sweet wife and great job keeping those first commandments.

We welcomed our sweet baby girl last week!! Newborns bring such a sweet spirit into the home!! God is good!!

I wonder how much of medicine is driven by drugs. For example, why did they decide that LDL cholesterol is the main marker for heart disease, rather than triglycerides or insulin? After all, triglycerides and insulin are better markers of heart disease risk. The reason? Probably because LDL cholesterol is "targetable"--there's a drug (statins) that will lower it. So it matters less that LDL is a good marker, and more that it's a number we can change with a drug. And of course, make money in the process. If there were a drug that lowered triglycerides really well, I suspect mainstream medicine would focus more on triglycerides. (Incidentally, the best way to lower triglycerides and insulin is to control consumption of refined carbohydrates.)

Super duper demonic These Mormons need to stop singing about Jesus

@SamaHoole Glucose addiction is killing more than crack.

People come back from carnivore to carbs all the time. That's fine. Carbs are not inherently poison. You can include them and be perfectly healthy. Some people do. Some people thrive on it. I have no objection. The interesting part is what sometimes happens next. A subset of people leave carnivore, reintroduce carbohydrates, and within a few weeks find themselves in a very familiar place: thinking about food constantly, struggling with energy between meals, having "just one" of something seventeen times a day, feeling like their willpower has evaporated. They conclude from this that the human body requires carbohydrates to function normally. What they've actually demonstrated is how addiction works. Sugar stimulates dopaminergic reward pathways. It creates tolerance. It creates withdrawal. It creates craving states that feel like hunger and register as need. Coming off it feels like deprivation. Getting back on it feels like relief. This is not your body telling you it needs glucose. This is your brain telling you it remembers the spike. Your body can make all the glucose it needs through gluconeogenesis. It has done this for the duration of human evolution, including all the stretches when fruit wasn't available, harvest hadn't come, and the only carbohydrates in the landscape were incidental. Eat carbs if you want. But when you feel like you can't function without them after three weeks back on bread and orange juice, don't call it physiology. Call it what it is.

All donations go directly toward security costs. I have no access to the money except for security operations through Blackline Guardian and their operators. All donations are tax-deductible, as Blackline is a registered 501(c)(3) created to help protect independent journalists like myself. For example, filming the recent hospice and daycare fraud exposé cost over $10,000 ($15,391.20 to be exact). If you aren’t in a position to donate, no pressure! I receive thousands of messages from people wanting to support, and this is one way you can if you are able—via a tax-deductible donation. Thank you so much and I appreciate all the support from all of you!

@AryePulliNFL @SleeperCFB Absolute stud.

Another standout performance: BYU CB Mory Bamba was clocked as low as a 4.19 40-yard dash at Pro Day this week, I’m told. The school listed Bamba at a 4.27u, though that result was also hand-timed. Several NFL scouts had him quicker than that, rivaling Xavier Worthy’s 4.21.

@collinsworth55 Actually a good question…the answer is No. They’re triple-teamed the whole game.

Now I know you’ve never watch AJ Dybantsa play!! 😂

@PatriotMP1969 @JonnyRoot_ Read lips. “I believe in you, but you have to want this more!!!” The confident, even loving pat on the shoulder at the end tells me everything.

@JonnyRoot_ No need to be that close to her and yelling. That’s not motivating at all.

The media members that have a problem with this just prove they have either never played competitive sports or they’re just manufacturing controversy…

@FiredUpCoug Pero, ¿Qué tal las baleadas, mi hermano?

I served in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, AKA, the murder capital of the world. I was robbed at gunpoint. I organized a funeral for a teenager who was murdered when I was a 19-year-old branch president. I dug homes out from mudslides after hurricane Katrina. It was no vacation.

@RensingTrades Get rid of 80% of federal govt agencies/personnel. Let states do everything else, tax as they need to.

I honestly believe we should get rid of the IRS and just go to a consumption tax The more you buy, the more you spend, the more tax you pay! What do you think?

@JamesAFurey @CRDINOTE_Author Managers, GMs, consultants, CEOs who don’t meet KPIs get canned too. Not in public ed. Start throwing money at measurably good teachers and canning crappy ones and there will be an incentive to improve.

@CRDINOTE_Author Oh of course. To follow the analogy, if someone can't do their job in a restaurant or what have you, they get fired.

Schools can’t continue to operate on the customer service model unless we realize that much of the behavior teachers see in the classroom day to day would get someone kicked out of any respectable establishment. Everywhere you go, there are rules. Lack of enforcement in any space leads to chaos.

@JamesAFurey Two things can be true at once. If the value added to students in schools were more easily evident, there’d be an incentive for them to stay there and not risk wearing out their welcome. It’s the govt-sponsored babysitting model that doesn’t work.

@BustersBcs26600 @BartleKSLsports @nmgarn_utdude @MUSSemeritus I used to be extremely anti-Ute, but I think Whit elevated football in Utah and had BYU playing catch up for many years. But BYU is the flagship athletic program of the state now. We’ll see how long that lasts. Best of luck with MS. He seems like a good guy.

@profeadams @BartleKSLsports @nmgarn_utdude @MUSSemeritus True that, and maybe MH knows something is coming with the PE deal, that sure makes this easier to swallow.

In the end, Kyle Whittingham wanted to stay. Newly released documents reveal some of what transpired in the final weeks of Whitt's time at Utah. sports.ksl.com/ncaa/utah/kyle…

@nurri30g @KGrahamContent True, but not impossible to take off blinders and consider that KW might entertain other coaching offers beyond Utah, with the coach poaching that would entail.

@profeadams @KGrahamContent Impossible to know Michigan job was going to open up

So. After an 11-2 season and years of success legendary Utah coach Kyle Whittingham decides he wants to keep coaching. Asks for more money/resources. Utes AD Mark Harlan offers a small raise, says he's done after one year and gives all power to Morgan Scalley on recruiting AND wants him to cede power to him as well. Basically--completely undercutting him. Whitt says no, works out a $13.5 mil buyout plus other incentives that Harlan agrees to. And then Harlan is surprised and butthurt when Whitt raids coaches/players of the program?! Did I summarize this right?!

@BustersBcs26600 @BartleKSLsports @nmgarn_utdude @MUSSemeritus It’s not worth it. This is a PR nightmare that could cost Utah more millions than they already owe Whit. I think they were appealing to KW’s sense of fairness after assuming they had leverage bc KW wouldn’t want to coach elsewhere. Oops.

@profeadams @BartleKSLsports @nmgarn_utdude @MUSSemeritus I understand that perspective, even though MH said that I’m skeptical he will simply let it go. He insinuated that there may be grounds to pursue the matter further, given the implication that Whit didn’t fully uphold his end of the agreement. Ultimately, time will tell.

@BustersBcs26600 @BartleKSLsports @nmgarn_utdude @MUSSemeritus Did you read the letter? MH specifically said they weren’t fighting it and wanted to move forward. Any team can entice any coach, anytime to resign. Utah misjudged Whit’s desire to continue coaching, to their regret.

@BartleKSLsports @nmgarn_utdude @MUSSemeritus It sounds like there may a future settlement as the AD says Whit didn’t follow his end of the contract for a “smooth transition” of the football program. This is incredibly frustrating and sad after 21 years. Onward and upward with Scalley!

@joewheat27 It’s not hard to anticipate: MH: Hey, we prefer a different coach, but want you to resign early. We’ll pay you $13.5m to walk away and help new guy take your place…oh, crap, you’re going to coach elsewhere and can pay our assistants better? KW: I walked away. Invoice = $13.5m

“You screwed over our program and violated your agreement. Here’s 8 million dollars” has got to be such a brutal email to write.
