AND SOMETIMES I AM BEWILDERED BY WHAT THEY THINK OF US:  Two Worlds.

HE DIDN’T DO IT BECAUSE HE DIDN’T WANT TO COMMIT SUICIDE: Dick Morris Confirms a Huge Rumor About Bill and Hillary Clinton. “Dick Morris has finally confirmed what many people have long suspected: Bill Clinton, while sitting in the Oval Office, seriously entertained the idea of divorcing Hillary — and he had his longtime political advisor run the polls to find out if he could survive it politically.”

Plus: “The whole arc of Hillary’s political career — the Senate seat in New York, the 2008 primary run, the secretary of State role, the 2016 presidential campaign — was all courtesy of a politically convenient marriage, which was merely a vehicle for her own quest for power.”

She was a once-attractive Yale Law woman — no small achievement that — who married well. Otherwise she would have been an ERISA partner in some big firm, disliked by the associates.

OPEN THREAD: Ring in the weekend.

A FRIEND WRITES:

I am shocked at how the service academy pages and other military-directed sites are absolutely overrun by angry progressives.

I mean, is this just what they do now? “Like” pages just to vent incessantly?

I’m usually just scrolling cooking reels so apparently I’ve missed the real action online.
Mind numbing.

They’re super upset that we’re winning a war and not taking heavy casualties.

BREAD HAS HAD THAT REPUTATION FOR A LONG TIME: Scientists Reveal Why Bread Can Cause Weight Gain Without Overeating. “This isn’t the first time nutritionists have talked about bread and carbohydrates and their contribution to weight gain, but there hasn’t been much detailed research into the relationship – especially wheat flour – or into what might be happening at a metabolic level. The team discovered that eating more wheat bread was associated with reduced energy expenditure, pushing the metabolism towards a state where fat storage is prioritized, even when the calories in a diet stay at a similar level.”

My half-assed hypothesis: Ancient humans mostly ate grains and tubers — high in carbs — when other food was scarcer. So your body interprets high carb intake as a sign of impending famine and starts packing on the reserves.

TRUMP SEEMS TO BE HAVING A BLAST WITH THIS STUFF, TOO:
