multaneous sip of your favorite beverage. And it's not an accident that I like to do it simultaneously. It's because it gives you a little bit, just a small one, free boost of dopamine. Probably dopamine. That would be my guess. But yes, you will enjoy it. Elon Musk had some things to say. Tesla's profits or their financials came out yesterday. But among other things he has said recently that Sta…

So I'm going to say that unless they're bluffing and trying to force her into settling in some way or shutting up or apologizing and I don't think that this would be a good bluff. So my best guess is that Brigitte Macron was born a woman. That's just my best guess because I don't think they would do the lawsuit if Candace were right. I think they would just try to shut her up some other way.
So Candace, I wish you well. I'm still a big fan of Candace Owens. I don't need to agree with her on everything and I know she's a shit-stirrer, but wow is she talented. She is so talented. I'm always impressed by that.
Hunter Biden, I love how Hunter Biden can make any situation worse. Just when the topic has changed a little bit from his father's brain and that cover-up, he does a podcast and he says, and I didn't catch this as being the problem, but now I understand it is. He said that his father was on Ambien, the sleeping pill, and that that might explain because there's a fairly substantial after effect of the Ambien which they tell you about. It's a well understood phenomenon. And that that might be why the father Joe didn't do well at the debate because it might have been a little Ambien hangover happening there.
Now, it turns out that the medical establishment would like you to know, and I saw this on a Dr. Drew clip on Instagram. Dr. Drew points out that if you had a patient that was that age and had trouble walking and maybe there was some Parkinson's going on, I don't think that's confirmed, but if you had somebody who was as unstable and as old as Joe Biden and then on top of that his job was to wake up at 3:00 a.m. if there's an emergency, you know, the president's job, that it would be close to almost a criminal activity to prescribe Ambien to somebody like that in that specific situation. It wouldn't be illegal, but it would be on that dangerously flirting with malpractice because if something happened, if that person that age and that mobility fell over, everybody would say, well, it's because somebody gave them Ambien. Everybody knows if you give Ambien to somebody in that condition, the odds of them falling down are much higher. So maybe you shouldn't have done that.
So somehow Hunter took a topic that was fading in our minds. You know, we were starting to forget a little bit about the Biden brain cover-up and then we find out that maybe the way he was cared for was horrible. If it's true, we don't know it's true, but if it's true that Ambien was part of the story, boy, somebody has a lot of explaining to do, which would be his doctor, I would think. But we don't know for sure that he was on Ambien or that had anything to do with anything. Unfortunately, Hunter is not the most reliable witness.
If you were waiting to find out what would happen in the courts with Trump's effort to ban birthright citizenship, that's where if somebody's not a citizen, but they have a baby in our country. The Constitution seems to say that those babies would be automatically citizens, but Trump doesn't want that. And a lot of people who are pro-Trump don't want that situation. And so Trump tried to ban it, but you would not be surprised to know that a federal appeals court just ruled that Trump can't do that and that those babies are indeed citizens of the United States. So that's a ruling from the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals. But that just means that this topic gets bumped up to the Supreme Court.
Now, how many of you think the Supreme Court will ban, which is what Trump would want, ban birthright citizenship by interpreting the Constitution in a sort of an originalist form? Where nobody really anticipated this particular problem, which is massive unchecked immigration and lots of babies. So, what's your bet? I wouldn't put a bet on this one. Yeah. Yeah. I see in the comments 50/50. That's exactly where I am. If you said, Scott, place a bet. You must think one of those is more likely than the other. I really don't. To me, this is a total coin flip. Well, I'll commit. All right. I'll commit. I'll commit to the Supreme Court will not ban birthright citizenship. I feel like it would be too big of a move even for all the conservatives. There might be a few votes for it, but I think the Supreme Court's going to agree with the lower court. What do you think? Anything is possible. So it's possible it could go the other way, but just for fun, I'll keep my prediction that it only goes one way.
Nikita Bier, who is the head of product at X, did a post on X called the current state of the medical establishment. So listen to this experience. Nikita says, brought a friend to the ER for a high fever. Put their symptoms into Grok. Grok told me to ask for four tests. The doctor, this is the ER doctor, said one of them is unnecessary. I insisted we do them all. The test came back positive on the one he didn't want to do. So that's the state of current medicine.
Your doctor has a lot of things on his or her mind, especially an ER doctor. You know, they're just seeing lots of different things come through all day long. So imagine the cognitive load on their brain, first of all. Then second of all, imagine all the possible things that can go wrong with any prescription or any diagnosis, etc. And if you're not already checking your doctor's work with AI, you should start. May I say that again as loudly as possible? You should never take medical advice from me on anything because I'm a cartoonist and not your doctor. But I do think we've reached the point in history where if you're not at least looking at the AI to see what it says compared to your doctor, but then ultimately you should check with your doctor, right? If the doctor says no, AI is hallucinating, I would go with the doctor. But you want to know what the other argument is.
So I'll give you my experience recently. A lot of my doctoring, especially because of the holidays, I couldn't get in for an actual doctor when I had a shingles attack, which I've recently recovered from. So my neck and the side of my face was breaking out in some kind of mysterious bumps. And I started by sending a picture because I could still get some service from my healthcare provider by email and said, "Take a look at this picture." And then I guessed there might be spider bites because there were only three or four bumps. And the doctor who was covering for my doctor who was on vacation said, "Well, you know, it might be spider bites, but we don't know. So take some antibiotics and do something els

e. Take some allergy stuff." But what they didn't guess is shingles. So that wasn't part of the guess. Time goes by and it gets worse. So from three bumps it goes to I don't know, 15 bumps or so. At that point my own experience kicked in and I said it's only in one place. There's no way that a spider is coming back to bite me every day in that same one area and no place else. So it's probably som…
