Editor’s note: This is a lightly edited transcript of today’s video from Daily Signal Senior Contributor Victor Davis Hanson. Subscribe to our YouTube channel to see more of his videos. This content was recorded by Victor Davis Hanson prior to his Dec. 30 medical operation. Hello, this is Victor Davis Hanson for The Daily Signal. I’d like to talk about a different topic, if I could. It’s this new phenomenon of artificial intelligence using a person’s face or body, using a person’s voice, using a person’s background setting, and then putting in their mouths a different message that they never said, and they not necessarily would agree, and in fact, often would disagree. And it’s kind of an intellectual, not kind of, but is an intellectual theft. It’s like plagiarism or copyright violations. And I speak from personal anguish because there’s about six VDH channels out there where it looks—it is me and my face. It is this setting that I’m in right now, the same bookcases, same clothes, somewhat same voices, but the lips don’t quite sync, and every single thing that comes outta my mouth is something I’ve never said. I’ve never attacked Vice President JD Vance. I’ve never used the F-word in public. I don’t criticize people in the way that these videos suggest. So, what’s wrong with what’s going on? The first of it is, of course, it’s theft. It’s dishonest. And the people who generate this—and we don’t know really who they are. Are they people on the left? Are they foreigners? Are they just entrepreneurial people who wanna make a quick buck without any investment? But the problem is it is theft. And you know it’s theft because if they have these ideas that they wanna promulgate, it’s a free country, why don’t they just go out and sit here like I’m talking to you and give their ideas? But instead, they’re parasitical. They want to use somebody who may have a higher profile than themselves and use their investment and steal it. That is their exposure. The second thing they’re doing is they’re greedy. If you look at these, in my case, these VDH fake channels and fake videos—and I should ask that every single video, with one exception, the Ultra on my own website, comes from The Daily Signal. From four to five weekly, five- to six-minute videos, and four hour to an hour-and-a-half podcasts, all of them have to originate with The Daily Signal. That’s one way you know the difference. But what they’re doing is they have huge audiences, 40,000, 50,000, 60,000, 100,000 people, and they have subscribers, and they have a big budget. So, our audience really has been fragmented to genuine people, like you who are listening, and people who think that it’s me, but they are helping profit a pirate, a thief. The other thing about—not only are these people greedy and not only are they unlawful and amoral, but they also put ideas into my head that I would never say myself. So, they’re using—it would be one thing to say that they’re trying to amplify, like, what Victor says with maybe a cleaner presentation that’s computer-simulated or aided or adjusted, but they’re not. They’re putting their ideas. And I can tell you a lot of them I don’t agree with. The other thing is, and this is really dishonest, for one microsecond, they flash on this little legal disclaimer that says under no circumstances are you to believe that this is the real Victor Hanson or Victor Hanson’s face or his views. We are using a technology that puts our idea—and then they make it disappear. If they really believe that, they really believe they wanted to distinguish their videos that are fake from ours that are genuine, then they would leave that up in the corner. But they don’t. They’re just doing that because they think it gives them some legal pretension and that they can fall back and say, well, we warn people legally, and then you can’t sue them. The other thing is they try to exploit our video. So, they will put headlines with the F-U-word, the F-bomb, and they’ll put it as the headline. Or they’ll say Hanson attacks JD Vance or Hanson does this when we don’t do that. We don’t try to get clicks by being controversial. We try to get audiences by trying to inform them and bring history, politics, sociology, literature, all within a unique package for the erudition and entertainment of our audience. The final thing is there’s no laws against us that I can tell. I’ve had legal counsel and they’re doing their best, but X won’t take them down. And YouTube argues and Google argues. So, apparently, the Silicon Valley brotherhood feels that these people who must have learned their skills out of that nexus, they’re not doing anything wrong. They’re just taking a product. And it’s very, it’s very ironic because, you know, all of these people have copyrights on their technologies how to do this, if Victor all of a sudden takes their technology and steals it and uses it to simulate something and doesn’t pay a fee for using it, I would be sued in a second. So, it’s very hypocritical. All of their things that they use are copyrighted or patent, but not the ideas that they steal, they apparently think. And so, until we get some legal action to stop these people who are very greedy and making a lot of money, I don’t know what else to tell you, other than caveat emptor, buyer beware, and always look for a Daily Signal imprint. And a final, I don’t know who they are. I do not know who they are. I do not know if they’re leftists that are trying to confuse the conservative movement. I don’t know if they’re Chinese or Russian hackers who may be angry at things we’ve said. I don’t know if they’re apolitical and they just wanna make a buck. But whoever they are, they’re doing things that are bad and wrong, and they should be stopped. We publish a variety of perspectives. Nothing written here is to be construed as representing the views of The Daily Signal. The post Beware: AI Is Putting Words Into My Mouth appeared first on The Daily Signal.

A dog with digestive issues can struggle with everything from loose stools to reduced nutrient absorption, making mealtime stressful for both pet and owner. Hills Digestive Care dog food is specifically formulated to address these problems with clinically proven ingredients and a carefully balanced nutritional profile. At DogingtonPost, we’ve researched this formula thoroughly to help you understand whether it’s the right choice for your dog’s specific needs. This guide walks you through the key features, how it compares to competitors, and what you need to know before making the switch. Understanding Your Dog’s Digestive Health What Digestive Problems Actually Look Like in Dogs Digestive issues in dogs manifest in unmistakable ways that most owners notice immediately. Vomiting, diarrhea, loose stools, and excessive flatulence signal trouble, but the Merck Manual Veterinary Manual identifies additional signs including abdominal discomfort, reduced appetite, weight loss, and lethargy. Large-intestine inflammation, called colitis, produces mucus-filled stools with increased frequency that many owners mistake for simple dietary upset. Small-intestine disease presents differently, often causing weight loss despite adequate food intake because the dog’s body cannot absorb nutrients properly. Hemorrhagic gastroenteritis causes sudden vomiting and bloody diarrhea, frequently affecting small breeds or predisposed dogs, and while most recover with fluids and antibiotics according to the Merck Manual, it demands immediate veterinary attention. You cannot diagnose digestive issues at home. Symptoms overlap significantly with endocrine diseases, autoimmune conditions, and exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, so a veterinary assessment is essential before switching to specialized food. Your veterinarian may recommend a food trial lasting 4 to 12 weeks to identify what actually works for your individual dog rather than guessing based on symptoms alone. Why Specialized Nutrition Makes a Real Difference Once your veterinarian confirms a digestive sensitivity, the right food becomes part of the treatment plan. Digestive disorders in dogs are common and often require targeted dietary plans, making this not optional but necessary. Hill’s Digestive Care dog food works through maximum digestibility, supporting better nutrient absorption and promoting digestive health. The formula includes ActivBiome+, Hill’s proprietary prebiotic blend that activates the gut microbiome to support digestive health at the bacterial level. Added electrolytes and B vitamins replace nutrients lost during digestive disturbances, addressing the depletion that causes lethargy and weight loss. For dogs with sensitivity plus skin concerns, formulations targeting both digestion and coat health exist within the Hill’s lineup. The transition matters enormously: gradual mixing over 7 to 10 days prevents the very upset you’re trying to fix. Many dog owners report rapid improvement, with diarrhea and vomiting resolving within days and stools becoming firmer (though palatability varies by dog and some picky eaters require mixing with small amounts of water or broth to adjust consistency). What Happens Next in Your Dog’s Recovery The first two weeks after switching to Hill’s Digestive Care reveal whether the formula matches your dog’s needs. Monitor your dog’s stool consistency, energy levels, and appetite closely during this period. If improvement occurs, continue the transition and schedule a follow-up with your veterinarian to confirm the diet is working as intended. If symptoms persist or worsen, contact your vet promptly to adjust the nutrition plan or investigate other underlying conditions. Understanding these early signs prepares you to recognize what works for your specific dog and sets the foundation for long-term digestive health management. What Makes Hills Digestive Care Actually Work ActivBiome+ and Gut Microbiome Support Hill’s Digestive Care formula delivers results through ActivBiome+, a proprietary prebiotic blend that activates your dog’s gut microbiome rather than simply masking symptoms. Prebiotics feed beneficial bacteria, creating an environment where digestion improves from the inside out. This approach targets the root cause of digestive upset instead of treating only the visible signs. The formula achieves 3589 kcal/kg energy density with approximately 26.2% protein, 13.6% fat, and 52.3% carbohydrates, making nutrient calculations precise when you follow the gram-based feeding guide. Nutrient Replacement and Electrolyte Balance Hill’s includes added electrolytes and B vitamins specifically to replace nutrients your dog loses during digestive disturbances. This replacement addresses the depletion that causes lethargy and weight loss in affected dogs. The formula also promotes a urinary environment that reduces struvite and calcium oxalate crystal risk, meaning your dog receives digestive support without sacrificing urinary health. Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids support skin and coat health during digestive recovery, which matters because digestive upset often triggers secondary skin problems. Kibble Options and Digestibility The kibble comes in regular and small bites sizes, so you select based on your dog’s mouth size rather than forcing an ill-fitting option down their throat. Maximum digestibility is where Hill’s separates itself from standard adult formulas. The Merck Manual notes that large-intestine diarrhea may benefit from diets high in fiber, while small-intestine disease requires tailored energy density and fat content-Hill’s achieves both through ingredient selection and processing. Real Results From Dog Owners Real dog owners report diarrhea and vomiting resolving within days, with stools becoming firmer and more predictable. The transition protocol matters enormously: gradual mixing over 7 to 10 days prevents rebound upset, and some dogs require mixing with small amounts of water or broth to improve palatability. Hill’s formulation is substantiated by AAFCO procedures for adult dog maintenance and carries a 100% satisfaction guarantee through authorized sellers, meaning you can request a refund or replacement if results don’t materialize. Why Veterinarians Trust This Formula Veterinarians across the U.S. recommend this formula because clinical research backs the ingredient selections and prebiotic strategy, not marketing hype alone. The science behind the formula matters more than brand recognition when your dog’s health is on the line. Understanding these specific mechanisms prepares you to recognize what makes Hill’s different and sets the stage for evaluating whether this formula matches your dog’s particular digestive needs. How Hills Digestive Care Stacks Up Against Competitors Price and Value: What You Actually Pay Hill’s Digestive Care costs significantly more than standard adult formulas, typically ranging from $2 to $3 per pound depending on kibble size and retailer. Purina Pro Plan Sensitive Skin & Stomach runs roughly $1.50 to $2 per pound, making it cheaper upfront, but Hill’s commands the premium because veterinarians across the U.S. specifically recommend it for diagnosed digestive issues. The difference matters: Hill’s functions as a therapeutic diet with ActivBiome+ and clinical research backing every ingredient choice, whereas competitors often position their products as general sensitive-stomach options. Many dog owners need coupons or veterinary discounts to afford Hill’s long-term, with some veterinary clinics providing one-per-quarter coupon limits that force owners to choose between affordability and consistent treatment. Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Low-Fat costs similarly to Hill’s but requires prescription status in fewer cases, potentially making it easier to access through regular retailers. The real value calculation comes down to results: if Hill’s resolves your dog’s diarrhea within days while cheaper alternatives fail after weeks, the premium disappears. Ingredient Strategy: Digestibility Over Novelty Hill’s separates itself through maximum digestibility and prebiotic inclusion rather than simply selecting novel proteins like duck or venison. Competitors frequently market limited ingredient diets with single-protein sources as the solution for digestive sensitivity, but the Merck Manual recommends that dogs with food sensitivities follow elimination diets using novel proteins for 4 to 6 weeks under veterinary supervision. Hill’s takes a different approach: highly digestible chicken and turkey with added prebiotics and electrolytes target the digestive system itself rather than assuming food allergies cause the problem. Real dog owners report diarrhea and vomiting resolving within days on Hill’s, with stools becoming firmer and more predictable, while some switching from competitors mention gradual improvement over weeks or continued loose stools despite trying multiple brands. Texture Consistency and Palatability Packaging and texture consistency matter more than most owners expect. Hill’s canned i/d formulation receives mixed reviews regarding texture variation between cans, with some described as watery and others as proper stew, affecting palatability for picky eaters. Wellness Simple Limited Ingredient Diet and other competitor options generally maintain more consistent texture but lack the clinical backing and veterinarian recommendation that Hill’s provides. Some owners adjust consistency by mixing Hill’s with small amounts of water or broth, a practical solution that competitors rarely require. Long-Term Management and Veterinary Support Long-term success stories exist across brands, yet Hill’s appears most frequently in veterinary recommendations and owner testimonials for chronic conditions requiring months or years of consistent management. Dogs with inflammatory bowel disease, malabsorption, or other chronic digestive issues often stay on Hill’s for extended periods because the formula delivers predictable results. Veterinarians trust this formula because clinical research backs the ingredient selections and prebiotic strategy, not marketing hype alone. If a lower-cost option works equally well for your dog, spending extra on Hill’s becomes unnecessary waste, but most owners find the premium justified when their dog finally maintains stable digestion and healthy weight. Final Thoughts Hill’s Digestive Care dog food stands out because it addresses digestive problems through clinical research and prebiotic science rather than marketing claims alone. The ActivBiome+ formula activates your dog’s gut microbiome, electrolytes replace lost nutrients, and maximum digestibility allows your dog to absorb what matters most. Veterinarians recommend this formula across the U.S. because results speak louder than price tags, and dog owners consistently report diarrhea resolving within days and stools becoming firmer. Switching your dog to Hill’s Digestive Care requires patience and precision. Start by scheduling a veterinary appointment to confirm digestive sensitivity and rule out underlying conditions like endocrine disease or pancreatic insufficiency. Your vet will guide you on which Hill’s formula matches your dog’s life stage and breed size, then recommend a 7 to 10 day transition period that mixes the new food gradually with the old. Monitor stool consistency, energy levels, and appetite during these first two weeks, watching for improvement or any signs of continued upset. Long-term digestive health requires consistency and veterinary oversight. Dogs with chronic conditions like inflammatory bowel disease or malabsorption often maintain stable digestion for months or years on Hill’s when paired with regular weight checks and wellness visits. The 100% satisfaction guarantee through authorized sellers means you can request a refund if results don’t materialize, and we at DogingtonPost believe informed choices about nutrition transform your dog’s quality of life.

Silicon Valley Rep. Ro Khanna Embraces California Wealth Tax

President Donald Trump said Monday that the U.S. military carried out a strike on Venezuelan territory, which he described as the first land-based attack in an escalating conflict tied to alleged narco-terrorism.Trump made the remarks to reporters at the White House before a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He said the strike targeted a dock area that he claimed was used to load boats transporting drugs.‘Two nights ago we knocked that out. So we hit them very hard.’“It doesn’t matter, but there was a major explosion in the dock area where they load the boats up with drugs, so we hit all the boats, and now we hit the area,” Trump said. “It’s the implementation area — that’s where they implement. And that is no longer around.”When asked by a reporter whether additional strikes had occurred inside Venezuela, Trump declined to comment.The Pentagon provided no details and referred all questions to the White House.The president offered further details during a radio interview with WABC, saying the strike occurred two nights earlier and targeted what he described as a major shipping facility.“We just knocked out — I don’t know if you read or you saw — they have a big plant or big facility where they send the, you know, where the ships come from,” Trump said. “Two nights ago we knocked that out. So we hit them very hard.”The operation would represent the first direct U.S. strike on Venezuelan land during the current confrontation. The Trump administration has previously ordered strikes against vessels it says are operated by narco-terrorist groups smuggling drugs into the United States.Critics of the administration have questioned those allegations and accused the U.S. government of acting unlawfully, including claims by human rights organizations that the strikes could constitute war crimes. Administration officials have rejected those accusations.Tensions escalated earlier after the United States seized a Venezuelan oil tanker that administration officials alleged had violated U.S. embargo restrictions. Trump later ordered what the administration described as a full blockade of tankers traveling to and from Venezuela.RELATED: Venezuelan freedom fighter wins Nobel Peace Prize — and immediately dedicates it to Trump In response, Venezuelan officials announced military exercises that they said were intended to prepare the country to defend against a possible U.S. invasion aimed at removing President Nicolás Maduro from power.Trump has previously said the United States could take military action to reclaim oil interests that were nationalized by Venezuela’s socialist government decades ago.“It’s about — they took our oil, they took it, and they also sent millions of people in here from jails into our country,” Trump said in the WABC interview. “Some of the worst people on Earth.”Like Blaze News?

A bizarre scene unfolded in a small town in southern Italy when the mayor said that he noticed that one of the "three wise men" figures in the public Nativity scene appeared to be moving.Galatone Mayor Flavio Filoni wrote about the incident in a post on Facebook on Dec. 10. He says that he was admiring the Nativity scene set up by the town's tourism office when he made the startling discovery.Rather than a wise man, the man was a foolish criminal migrant from Ghana, according to Filoni. "I noticed a presence I had initially mistaken for part of the scene. A detail that seemed harmless, but turned out to be decisive," Filoni wrote.A comical image of the scene shows the man trying to blend in among the mannequins of the holy display.Rather than a wise man, the man was a foolish criminal migrant from Ghana, according to Filoni. He had previously been sentenced by a court in Bologna to nine months in prison but reportedly fled before completing his time. When he hid in the scene, the man was being sought for allegedly assaulting an officer and resisting arrest.Filoni said law enforcement officials were able to capture the man without difficulty. "A result that confirms, once again, how fundamental it is to place full confidence in the day-to-day work of those who guarantee safety and legality," added the mayor.RELATED: 'Why would somebody have such hate?' Churchgoers stunned at Nativity display vandalism "A sincere thank you to all the women and men who guard our territory with competence, attention and dedication," Filoni said.Galatone is a small town of about 15,000 residents in the Lecce province of southern Italy.Like Blaze News?
