I'm a bit behind so far, though. Just now watched the Democrat Debate (no, I don't use "Democratic" as adjective in that context...There are Democrats and Republicans...Democrat Debate and Republican Debate). Still taking notes, but here's the best assemblage of clips so far. We need to get very serious about this election. ...

Everybody Has a “‘License’ to Kill.” Nobody Ought Have a “License” to Murder
I should not have to explain the title, but let me give it a sentence. A killing isn't necessarily a murder. Got it? Here's a murder, and apparently, Seneca Police Lt. Mark Tiller has a big enough license to murder as to make James Bond blush. Don't recall seeing him killing young adolescents in any of the films. He only had a license to kill, just like you. The license to murder has been ...
Ditch The Butter and Flat Top To Make a Patty Melt That Won’t Be a Boat Anchor in Your Stomach
Ever had one of those cafe/diner patty melts that makes you wish you hadn't? First of all, it's supposed to be—or should be—a modest marriage of ground meat and cheese on both sides. How do they always ruin it? With either butter or cooking oil, then they have it swim there, soaking up as much as possible while it oxidizes and rancidifies on a hot flat top. Actually, my taste is now so reset ...
Sunday Church For Human Animals: You’re Still Using Slavery Arguments; You’re Using Free Market Arguments to Advocate Collectivism; Obamacare Co-Ops Fail… Hundreds of Thousands Face Federal Fines; The Diminishing Cult Of Loren Cordain “Paleo”
~ For nearly 25 years now I've loosely used human slavery as a reference or analogy to what exists now in terms of statism, because I would prefer that people get a brain and dump all allegiance to all states worldwide. But it's imperfect, and I always use it tongue in cheek because I hate diluting the meaning of true slavery. Even the name of my blog, Free The Animal, contemplates this in a ...
Weight Loss From a Potato Only Diet: Re-Hacking The Potato Hack, Outdoor Grill Barbecue Style
Paging Tim "Tatertot" Steele. My what a ride it's been. Remember, Nov, 2012? Actually, I'm quite sure it was in comments on previous posts where Tim—who now has his own Vegetable Pharm—introduced the idea of bouts of eating potatoes only in comments. ...And since he was doing it only in comments, I took it to posts; and he figured, what if you eat only potatoes, too, and we write about it not ...
The Elixa Probiotic Experiment Concludes; Waiting For Gut Test Data
The roughly 5-week Elixa Probiotic experiement (ElixaFTA.com) is complete and all that's left now is to get the data from the nine separate gut-bug tests (stool samples), 6 of which we're submitted to uBiome, and 3 to AmGut. To recap, I first took a uBiome sample about a week before starting the course, then both a uBiome and AmGut from the same "location" on the morning right before commencing ...
What If You Dropped The Silly Notion of Borders?
Artificial borders, drawn with crayon or colored pencils on paper that serves as your meta-metaphor, making precisions beyond plain continental drift (we're land animals) is really silly on Kindergarten proportions. I won't belabor how fucktarded you are. Thank me later. Why does everyone agitate over borders? No, REALLY, why does everyone agitate over borders? Money. And you call ...
Grils: I Luv Ya Sincerely, But The “Men’s Right” Movement Is Just As Enabling As…
Real women are the salivation of all men. The converse it true too, of course. If it were not not for women and the children they bear for us dudes, "civilization" would amount to a global pub with comfy chairs for "gaming." Want to be warm? OK, I'll be right there (creates a power plant for a woman—we. can. not. help. it.). It's very true that 100% of modern convenience has been ...
Let’s Try This. Since Most People Cops Kill Deserve It, What About The Dog Pets They Kill Every Day?
I don't think I've ever blogged about this explicitly in a single post, though I've been aware of it even before Radley Balko of The Agitator blog (now Washington Post) wrote this in 2006: They Always Shoot the Dog. Apparently, people who think that perhaps the government acted properly in invading and burning down a house of largely innocent (but admidetly weird) people get really pissed off ...
Sunday Brickbats, Odds, Ends, And One Funny Thing
We're up here at the vacation home in the pines for a long weekend with four dogs (yea, we brought Hunter the Beagle along). It's been a blast. Breakfast pics at the end. We get everything we like off-grid TV-wise except live sports, so today is football day. ~ We'll have another iron fortification update post soon. With further digging, it's really remarkable the politics, money, and favor ...
Let’s Unpack A To-Be-Published Gluten Sensitivity Study Touted To Vindicate Dr. William Davis and Wheat Belly
You folks really need to try harder. I do like Bill Davis and have had some nice exchanges with him going way back and most importantly, he was very friendly to the revolutionary work Tim Steele and I did here on Resistant Starch. I got notice of a post on a new study a couple of days ago that strikes me as a bit bright eyed. Here's the study. In fairness, it's not yet published and so might ...
A Whole Hour Video You Will Not Watch. Too Long.

Doubled Keep-It-Up Capacity; No Little Blue Pill
Just quick and just for fun. In the space of a couple of hours, doubled my power capacity just today, as the sun gets lower and the days grown shorter—even though, this is, after all, California. The electricians, engineers, smart DIY folks, etc., will immediately recognize that as a 4, 6v deep cycle wet cell battery super-cell, wired in both series and parallel to produce 12 volts and ...
Global Warming Hysteria Has Always Been Bullshit Because CO2 Is Not Nuclear Fission
I don't blog about this much and never did. Yet, my finger has always been on the pulse, periodically. I've alway checked in with these folks principally, going as far back as be be counted: Watts up With That Climate Audit Climate Skeptic Real Climate That last one gets me all the choir music I need, just to know what the choir sings. It all kinda reminds me of our iron ...
Iron Fortification, Disease, and Obesity: An Update with Data Refinements
Why does fortified food so strongly correlate with poor health and obesity in developed countries? After our 6,000 word post hashing out the possibilities, we thought it was time to simplify the message. Quite simply it's because fortification promotes an imbalance of micronutrients that would otherwise not happen when consuming a diet of whole foods. It is a government policy that does far more ...
Modern Politics in 1,000 Words
Well, it's way less than 1,00 words, but it is a picture with words. Punchlines after. (HT: Carey Wedler) ...
Prime Time TV Used To Speak to Smart People Sometimes
Obviously, it didn't work, since almost nobody can philosophically and consistent to principles, beat his or her way out of a paper sack. Perhaps that's why this level of discourse is never seen, anymore. It would be like casting pearls before swine. ...
Interested In A Daily Mind Fuck? Then Follow Me on Facebook.
Here's what I can guarantee. I fuck with both the right and the left. If you have a Facebook account, just click here and follow it. You can even comment. A Sample, over the last few days: ~ Anarchists don't give a fuck. Exactly, with the stipulation that few know what an anarchist is (part of the problem). It's the opposite of the nihilism and communism so often erroneously associated with ...
Is The Gut Microbiome a Better Puzzle Piece Contributing to Mass Killings Than Feminism?
Let's not mince words, which is always great way to start. Famed smart and witty queer, Milo Yiannopoulos, weighs in on the recent incident where an adult male—this time—goes postal at a school, again. I might be a raging homo, but I still innately understand the male need to conquer, crush and win. Men need to express that dark, powerful part of themselves, or it can abruptly overflow. If it ...
My Bizarre Off-Grid RV Living Update (with dog videos)
Something came up and I find need of attempting a meaningful post on the latest incident of someone going postal in a school. Yes, there's a connection to the gut biome, which is why I'm taking it on. In the meantime, here's some stuff about what I'm up to. ~ The "system" explained, in brief. After weeks without having to use the generator, I have to for a few hours after 2-3 days of ...
