I find it a bit odd that of all places, the people here would jump so hard and fast about an article from a piece of shit news outlet like the daily mail. I grew up on a farm and in rural settings. There are a multitude of reasons why animals are put down. However, I don't for a minute believe what that rag prints. I have had to put animals down. For the people that think you can just re-home an animal, you have no understanding of what that means.

The local Sheriff gave an interview that said he could have just knocked on the door and told Koresh he needed to look around. After it was all said and done, there was nothing illegal in the compound. Also, after TWO investigations, they never found any evidence of abuse or molestation of children.

A reporter told him the Koresh was crazy, and that he thought he was Jesus Christ. The Sheriff told her that it was not illegal to be crazy OR Jesus in the state of Texas.

The whole thing was a show. The ATF set it up, and brought in a whole bunch of media people to record them doing the takedown.

Chargin' Charlie Beckwith (the man that started Delta Force) wrote an op-ed piece describing how the ATF was a bunch of rank amateurs. I mean, seriously, who the f^ck sticks their head in a window, and then gets shot because of it?

And because that wasn't enough for the ATF or Dammit Janet Reno, they had to set Randy Weaver up and kill his wife and son. Go gubmint!

When I was a Sheriff Cadet in high school, I passed one with flying colors lying my ass off. They are not reliable if you are very good at keeping calm under duress

I was on a ventilator for 3 weeks. Once I was done, I was told I would never walk again without assistance, or breathe normally again without oxygen. So far, I have not used either. Also, out of 27 people on my covid ward, I am the only one that survived. AND, I was the ONLY one NOT vaccinated! Approximately 80% of people on ventilators do not survive. God was not ready for me to come home yet.

How much exercise do you do? Also, I was in the hospital 2 years ago with covid viral pneumonia, streptococal (bacterial) pneumonia, and sepsis (from bed sores) while on a ventilator. My numbers were really high because they had me on a regime of insulin to counteract the IV feed (mostly sugar). My body rejected the feed tube, so to keep me barely breathing I was given the IV mix. I was all out of whack. When I went in, I was healthy and everything in control. I still haven't fully recovered, but exercise with a good diet is getting me there. Resistance training has been the biggest factor.

Cane sugar or beet sugar is better (what my grandparents used). Any vegetable oil will break down into transfat when heat is applied. Avocado, Virgin Olive and Grapeseed oils are better for cooking, They have high heat indexes. Personally, I like to cook with bacon fat. Processed foods of any kind, IMHO, are bad for you. Pick up a power bar that says it is diabetic "friendly". One of the first ingredients is maltodextrose, which is a sugar and will increase your BGL. Low carb sweetners like Stevia are often packaged with maltodextrose, so, while they may be low carb, they are NOT diabetic friendly. That means they aren't very good for you. Raw stevia extract doesn't phase my blood sugar at all.

LDL alone is nothing. The key is the LDL to HDL ratio that matters. I have a closer to "high" LDL, but a higher HDL. The ratio is within the "limits".

My hospital stay 2 years ago would have cost me $795,000. However, with insurance, the total cost was around $350,000 with my part being $4700 out-of-pocket max

Our elders (well, mine anyway, I am old) lived shorter lives too. However, that was usually do to limited medical care and very hard work which broke the bodies down quickly.

One of the stigmas of type 2 diabetes is that being overweight causes it. Being fat is a symptom, not a cause. Type 2 is insulin resistance. When the body does not use the insulin to transport the sugar into the cells, it is converted to fat and stored in the body. Insulin is referred to as the Fat Hormone.

The Inuit Eskimos subsist on mostly fish and seal, and whale.. Yet, their cholesterol levels are very low and heart disease not common. Two things from that: humans do not require plants to survive, and meat is good for you. We are, after all, primarily carnivorous.

Sugar companies worked hand in hand with the American diabetes association to skew the numbers. A few years back, my doctor told me that the ADA gave the go ahead for the Department of Transportation to up the max A1C in truckers to 9%! That is 212 mg/dL average blood glucose level. That is insane when you think about a driver with up to 80,000 pounds weight barreling down the highway. The system is just corrupt. The real studies have been done in Europe.

Sorry, I meant to say complex. Dense carbs you want to stay clear of. Complex carbs take longer to digest and, thus, reduce the spike...especially when eaten with meat. Another interesting phenomenon is honey. Honey has TWO types of sugar- glucose and fructose. I can eat small amounts of honey, and it does not affect my blood sugar. This is good because honey never goes bad (unless there are contaminants), so it has a very long shelf life

Many parts of the body needs cholesterol, It is a vital component to a healthy life

Exactly. One of the main jobs of cholesterol is repairing arteries. Why do we get clogged arteries? It is not from eating fat. It is not from eating food with cholesterol in it. The body will only absorb dietary cholesterol if it cannot produce enough serum cholesterol. What is sugar? It is a crystal structure. When you have have sugar coursing through your body, it damages the walls of the veins and arteries. Cholesterol is produced to repair these cuts and tears. Two things that people with Type 2 diabetes deal with are damage to the tiny veins and capillaries in the feet and eyes, and neuropathy of the hands and feet. Amputation of the feet and blindness are the main outcomes of uncontrolled type 2 diabetes. I dropped my high cholesterol and HBA1C sugar level in 3 months to a normal range. My doctor could not believe it! How did I do it? Diet and exercise. Low carb (dense carbs only), high fat (animal) and protein. That's it. No great secret. Also, statins occur naturally in nature in the foods we eat. But the BIG offender here is SUGAR

Correct. Retirees can be subject to recall if there is a critical need. For the most part, it isn't combat related roles like infantry...unless they need instructors.

Unusual for sure. The only variants the US Military has is the KC-46 tanker. Officially that is. But since it was over Patrick Space Force Base, maybe they are testing out a new variant. They had some for the AST program back in the 80s, but those were supposedly scrapped out when the program ended. Who knows?
