NEWS YOU CAN USE: Why a ‘fart walk’ after your Thanksgiving meal is good for your health. “On Thanksgiving, after eating turkey, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, yams and stuffing, all topped with gravy and cranberry sauce and followed by a dessert buffet of pumpkin, apple and pecan pies, consider taking a walk. Sure, after a big, indulgent meal it’s tempting to use the tryptophan myth as an excuse to hit the couch and put on football highlights, You’ve Got Mail or A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, but a stroll has enormous health benefits. Also known as a ‘fart walk’ on TikTok, movement can, in addition to getting your bowels working, help decrease bloating, stabilize insulin levels and more. There’s also the added benefit of endorphins. Here’s what else the experts have to say about a post-Thanksgiving walk.”

WHEN NARRATIVES FAIL: Vegetarians consume more ultra-processed food than those who regularly eat meat, study finds. “Such foods have been found to contain a host of added, sometimes unhealthy, compounds and chemicals to enhance taste, improve texture, help with freshness, or simply make them look more appetizing. Meat, on the other hand, tends to undergo less processing because it looks and tastes good in its natural state.”

I’ll be putting my legs of lamb on the grill soon.

HEH:

Happy Thanksgiving to all, including to the Radical Left Lunatics who have worked so hard to destroy our Country, but who have miserably failed, and will always fail, because their ideas and policies are so hopelessly bad that the great people of our Nation just gave a landslide…

BE HONEST, YOU WOULD BE TOO, IF YOU SUDDENLY HAD TO GO BACK TO WORK AFTER A FOUR YEAR LONG VACATION: White House reporters already ‘exhausted’ by second Trump administration.

The White House press corps is already “exhausted” at the outset of the second Trump administration.

“Anybody who went through it the last time remembers how nonstop it was. It ends up kind of becoming all-consuming and taking over your life. It wears you down,” New York Times White House correspondent Peter Baker told Vanity Fair Wednesday, adding that “you have to expect that covering a big story is, by definition, taxing because it’s important.”

Reporters commented on how President-elect Donald Trump was already kicking off a hectic news cycle with his rapid policy and cabinet nomination announcements.

“Everybody’s exhausted, and he hasn’t even taken office yet,” Baker said.

Good. As Glenn wrote in the New York Post last week, “Not all FDR’s ideas were good ones — in fact many were downright terrible. But his assault on all fronts kept his opposition off balance and let him remake the nation. I suspect Donald Trump may have something similar in mind.”
