Followers of a plant-based diet actually do fart more You may have heard jokes and seen memes about farting vegans, but they might have a splash of truth to them. In fact, research has found that followers of a plant-based diet actually do pass gas more often than carnivores. Seven times more, to be precise. A 2021 study that compared the gut health effects of a Western meat-heavy diet and a Mediterranean-type, plant-heavy diet that was slightly supplemented with animal protein found that the followers of the latter diet not only passed far more gas, but also produced more fecal matter than heavy meat eaters.   That line about plant-based diet causing the men in the study to fart seven times more wasn't hyperbole, either. If anything, it was low-balling the truth. See, apart from causing a far greater number of farts than the meat-heavy diet, the Mediterranean-type diet made the subjects produce 50% more gas per fart. Don't take this to mean that farting this much is bad, though. In fact, Nutrition expert Dr. Rosemary Stanton of the University of New South Wales says it's quite the opposite. "Our Western idea that farting is a sign of something being wrong is totally false," she said, per New Scientist. "Farting is a sign of a healthy diet and a healthy colon."

When are the courts going to smack down President Trump and his DOJ (which Attorney General Blanche on Sunday said he works directly for the president of United States it’s not independent anymore) for malicious prosecution. This is the third time in 12 months. He find something against James com enough is enough. This president is vindictive. I hope everybody gets out and votes and he gets a rude awakening.

Once again, the Trump administration and the DOJ are breaking the law washingtonpost.com/nation/20…

THE CLOSING STAGES of midterm season have highlighted one of the ugly contradictions of the Trumpist movement: The same people who insist on policing public bathrooms to protect little girls from sexual predators are also smearing an actual child rape survivor. It is loathsome. And yet, in a way, it is also perfectly on message. It is a microcosm of the broader Trump agenda: professing support for the vulnerable while shielding their abusers.—Catherine Rampell

The administration isn't simply asking a court to enforce ballot eligibility rules. It's asking a court to potentially prevent certification of an election based on a hypothetical outcome favorable to the Republican incumbent.

Once again, Texas pack is blitzing the airwaves on all the football games against James Talerico. They have a new one now with an alleged sheriff saying that he wants to defund the police. He’s never said that ever and they’re still running the Mom saying that he wants to put people in prison which we already know that’s been debunked if people see that and vote for Paxton because of that that’s why this country is in the shape it’s in and we’re doomed. Don’t let these oligarchs. Buy the election get out and vote. Put Paxton on the bus home.

Spoken like a true dictator, his solution is that only his administration can tell you who the correct voting public are and that we have to listen to him. flip.it/sqydpb

These GOP candidates are so bolded by the lies that Donald Trump has spread about what he’ll do when he gets in office. There’s no way he’ll cut the bills in half his first day just like Donald Trump did not end the Ukraine war and we have inflation of 3.7% worse than Joe Biden. Our gas prices are tripled were in a war. The economy sucks. Morale is bad in this country. He claimed he was gonna do all this stuff when he got elected to these GOP candidates are just so bolded by lies flip.it/huVfwR
