2024: Trump won New Hampshire by about 11 points, despite more than half the voters being undeclared or Democrat. Nikki Haley told her supporters, “This race is far from over.” Uhhh, based on those exit polls, I’d say, yeah, it is. CLICK https://twitter.com/CitizenFreePres/status/1749965719943430498 [:27] to hear one of Haley’s “supporters” say out loud that he plans to vote for Biden.

DIABETES: I had a request to revisit the resistant starch issue for a diabetic who loves her rice. The starch in cooked rice is easily digested in the small intestines, causing a rise in blood sugar. But when cooked rice is cooled, the starch changes into a form that can not be digested. Instead, it passes through the small intestine, then is fermented in the large intestine. In addition to not causing a blood sugar spike, fermented resistant starch greatly benefits your gut biome. I was so pleased to see that more research has been done on resistant starch since the last time I talked about this. If you’re interested in this, here are the three best resources I located –

Johns Hopkins Patient Guide: What is Resistant Starch?

“Try cooking rice, potatoes, beans, and pasta a day in advance and cool in the refrigerator overnight. It’s ok to reheat the starch before eating. Reheating doesn’t decrease the amount of resistant starch.”

What is Resistant Starch + Sources + Cooking Tip

“Type 3 – Retrograded starch that forms after type 1 or 2 are cooked and then cooled. Type 3 can be reheated at low temperatures to keep the starch from becoming digestible.“

FAUXTUS: Catholic Vote, one of the nation’s largest Catholic advocacy groups, has officially endorsed former president Trump. CatholicVote President Brian Burch highlighted President Trump’s achievements in office, including overseeing a robust economy and appointing three Supreme Court justices, leading to the overturning of Roe v. Wade. “We need a general to lead us,” he asserted.

MICHIGAN: CLICK https://twitter.com/GovWhitmer/status/1749854462338896379 [1:16] to see Gov. Jackboots promote her program for free community college. My #1 favorite comment is last:

“Hey remember when you prevented people from growing their own food?”

“I looked to see if this was supposed to be a parody. Idaho is offended.”

“Wow. This isn’t very inclusive for the other members of the vegetable family. How come only potatoes are represented? Do better.”

“This video gave me tuber-culosis.”

“This is not apeeling at all.”

“Which one was the potato?”

“I’m glad to see Brian Stelter landed on his feet.”

MAGA: Dean Phillips is a Democrat challenging Biden. During an interview on CNN, he said, “I’ve got to tell you guys, I went to a Donald Trump rally a couple nights ago. Never been to one. I had an event across the street. I saw the line of people waiting in the cold for hours and I thought, what the heck, you know, I’m going to be a leader who actually invites people, doesn’t condemn them. I met probably 50 Trump people waiting in line. Every single one of them, thoughtful, hospitable, friendly, all of them so frustrated that they feel nobody’s listening to them but Donald Trump. A diverse crowd. People who had never been to a Trump event before. My party is completely delusional right now, and somebody had to wake us up. And if that’s my job, so be it.” Or you could, you know, switch parties.

SIN SICK MAMA: CLICK https://twitter.com/CollinRugg/status/1749936166844141954 [1:40] and pray for this woman. She needs Jesus. Police were reportedly called but there is no news at this time about what has happened to the boy. One commenter said she’d heard he was with his grandma. Let’s pray for them as well. And thanks to the shoppers who stepped up. When that witch tossed a package of frozen food on to her shivering boy’s bare foot, I just wanted to vomit.

SOUTH CAROLINA: [3:12] – Mom tells the Wake County Public School Board how woke ideology is impacting kids in classrooms. The best advice I ever heard about when a kid is ready to learn about sex and sexuality is not before they are having those feelings in their bodies.

WISCONSIN: CLICK https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1749682244195889294 [:32] to hear a medical student say she’ll leave the state if she can’t do full term abortions. Somebody then says, “That will do nothing to help our shortages.” I dunno. Maybe it’ll encourage pro-life OB/GYNs to move to Wisconsin, so they can’t be forced to participate in abortions! So my reply to this chick is … “Don’t let the door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya.”

GRAMMY NOTES: I was making something in the blender once. While it was running, I carefully measured out a teaspoon of something, took the lid off and chucked the entire spoon in.

    Thanks for the information about resistant starch. I’ve been cooking my rice ahead of time for years, because I like to do a really big pot of it and then freeze it in smaller containers to use when I need them. I also like to soak the grains in filtered water overnight before I cook them, to rid them of phytic acid.
