  1. This is like a mobster, complaining that he can't serve on the jury, trying a mob boss.
    518
  2. So, he wants a recount in one state, and is trying to stop the vote count in others. Trump is such a fraud.
    457
  3. Remember the good old days, before the GOP was purchased by the Koch brothers, when Republicans were for conservation and protecting the environment? The first national parks were founded by a Republican. They used to fight pollution. They used to believe in science. Now they only believe in money and god.

  4. Ted Cruz needs a time out. He is acting like a spoiled brat.
    348
  5. Why would anyone listen to a man, so dense that he can't even wear a mask properly? Cover your damned nose, Chip.
    344
  6. This is the same crap Jewish students faced in the 70's and 80's. Ivy league colleges put a quota because they had too many Jews. It is as if they are punishing groups who value education and academic achievement.
    328
  7. Wasn't Ivanka called in to testify recently? Isn't she, and her husband, also under investigation?
    311
  8. That, "We're going to see what happens," answer is the same Trump gave to the question, "Will you respect the results of the election." There should be a federal law, that anyone who gives such an answer, to that question, is instantly disqualified. Nobody, who refuses to accept the voters' choice, should be allowed to run.

  9. Gee, the pandemic made people realize how stupid it is wasting time commuting, when most work is more productive at home. No more trying to concentrate and debug code while the drone next to your cubical has loud phone conversations. No more creepy boss hitting on you. Less time sitting in traffic. More time at home with those you love. The only people who miss going into the office are the mid-level managers, who do nothing but waste your time in meetings, that they constantly call to justify their salary. Cutting out the middle managers, and only driving into work once a week will save the company money, and stop wasting your time. So, the fat cats with expensive office real estate are hurting. Better them, than the people who actually create and produce.

  10. Back in 1979, my ex and I bought our first home in North Hollywood, and joined Synagogue Adat Ari El. Henry Winkler was a prominent member, and when his little daughter was born, he brought her to shul for her naming. I have never before or since, seen such a happy father. He absolutely glowed with love and joy, for his newborn daughter (a little red head). We ran into him a few other times, in the SF Valley, and he always treated everyone, no matter who, with kindness and respect. I'd much rather listen to his opinion, than that of Hershel Walker. He is a much better human being.

  11. My guy is obese, with diabetes, so they tried him on Ozempic. He never titrated up to the dose they wanted him to take, because he kept vomiting, and felt so terrible he couldn't exercise, so discontinued the drug. I've looked at the studies, and it is fantastic for some people, but not all.

  12. The flow, of Russians, out of the country is on a serious uptick. But, it was happening even before this new conscription drive. Last month, I was staying in Israel for a couple of months, which I've done numerous times in the past. The stores were filled with people who only spoke Russian. Most of them were in their 20s and 30s. Several times, I was asked by strangers on their phones, if I spoke Russian, could I translate for them. (When I responded I only spoke English and Spanish, in addition to the Hebrew we were speaking, they said they already knew English, and Spanish is useless.) These were mostly real estate agents, with an influx of new Russian clients, trying to buy apartments. I know, from family of friends, that Turkey is also full of Russians, looking to resettle there. Even if Putin were to stop this stupid war of his, many of these Russians won't return, as they are getting homes and jobs in other countries. The death blow, Putin has dealt, to the Russian economy, is not just the sanctions, it is the massive loss of educated young adults from the workforce.

  13. Having to secure canned meat, and seeing people grab up as much sugar as they can, seems more an example of bad behavior of Russians, than anything else. Grocery stores should limit each buyer to one or two bags of sugar, to stop the greedy from grabbing it all.
    162
  14. I guess this time a bad man with a gun was stopped by a good man without a gun.
    160
  15. Trump is going after Amazon only because Bezos owns the Washington Post. He's so damned transparent.
    156
  16. All this proves that what needs to be reformed now is the Electoral Count Act. The law needs to be changed, so that only the slate of electors chosen by the people can be sent to DC. Only after that law is fixed, so that a state legislature cannot send the slate they want, should we concentrate on voter access. Yes, how easy it is to vote, should not depend on the complexion of your district, but easy access won't matter, if the state can send whatever electors they want.
    146
  17. Russian, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Egypt - how many countries does Trump owe money to?
    129
  18. Cruz talks about partisan tools, while being one himself.
    126
  19. Letting people know what health risks they, and their community, face is not "a campaign of fear and intimidation", it is public service. If Hawley does not realize this, he does not belong in government.
    123
  20. Have they asked any of Neely's 44 previous victims, how they feel about his death? Did they ask the guy Neely pushed onto the tracks? Did they ask the 67 year old woman, whose nose and eye socket Neely broke, how she felt when her attacker was just released? Those who failed to take Neely off the streets are to blame for his death, and the danger innocents were placed in, because this dangerous lunatic was allowed to roam the streets. Where was his concerned family before they sensed a big payout?
    117
  21. Good grief, he's tweaking.
    117
  22. The perfect quote from this expert: "I am convinced that Vladamir Putin has a grip on President Trump. ... Donald Trump was the perfect target for Russian intelligence. Here's someone with no self control, a sense of sexual entitlement, and intermittent financial crises."
    115
  23. Finally, the international news channels have been reporting on this for days.
    109
  24. I was a teen in the 1970s. At that time, everyone knew that magazines and television, with models like Twiggy, were giving young girls an unrealistic body ideal. I remember being in my early 20s, at five and a half feet tall, destressed that I couldn't get my weight below 110 lbs. It's not just social media that is bad for girl's self image, but all media. It's just that social media is so much more pervasive, and it's easier for people to post altered (photoshopped) images of themselves.
    107
  25. When the Spanish tried to attack England, from the sea, and lost the bulk of their Armada to smaller English vessels, it began the descent of the Spanish Empire. When Czar Nicholas II tried to invade Japan, and lost his Baltic fleet in the effort, the end of the Romanov dynasty began. First, due to unrest, the czar had to cede some of his power to the newly formed Duma, then the Bolsheviks revolted, took power and murdered the Romanov family. The ship lost was not some piddling destroyer, it was the flagship of the Russian navy. We need to supply the Ukrainians with any anti-ship armaments they desire. If Russia's Baltic fleet is again sunk, Putin's imperial desires will be ended.
    104
  26. Very biased reporting. Treat the representative of a real country with at least as much respect as you give an insurgent.
    96
  27. How many repetitions will it take for the US to learn a simple lesson, you cannot win a limited war, especially when the other side has no constraints? Ukraine has been fighting bravely, and has exceeded all expectations, but unless we give them sufficient modern weapons, will be unable to drive Russia off their land. In Vietnam, Russia (USSR) supplied the Viet Kong with the best they had. We should return the favor, as we arm Ukraine.
    96
  28. Navaro is not a medical doctor. And, according to most other economist, he's not an economist either.
    94
  29.  @ED-xk5sb  That "agreement" never existed. What does exist, is the Budapest Accords, whereby Russia would not try to take Ukrainian land, if Ukraine gave up her nuclear weapons.
    94
  30. I miss the days when networks considered the news a public service loss leader. We got less news, but it was of a much higher quality, and far less biased.
    92
  31.  @narendrasomawat5978  The education system hasn't been feminized. It hasn't changed, except boys are no longer given priority. I remember taking a HS chemistry class, where the teacher announced that girls didn't belong in the class. When I turned out to be the best student, that he ever taught, rather than change his mind about the inadequacies of girls, he decided I was actually a boy. He started using male pronouns for me. It was very disturbing, but typical of the 1970s. Today, girls are allowed to be the best in class. Stop complaining that finally, things are fair.

  32. Sarah says that CNN has called Trump 'evil'. I've never heard that. She claims the tone is negative. Yet, all they do is report what he says, and fact checks him since he lies so much. If describing the president sounds negative, it is only because the actions he takes are so negative. His evil is implied in what he does.
    85
  33. For the woman who says most Mexicans are against abortions, I have two points. First, it is less that many Mexican people are against abortion, and more that they are Catholic, and that church is misogynistic is so many things, including reproductive rights. Second, if you are against abortion, don't have one, but don't impose your feelings on others.
    84
  34. "Two Trumps, in any presidential race, is one Trump too many"? One Trump, in any presidential race, is one Trump too many.
    83
  35. Is "five times" a common expression? What is he blithering about?
    82
  36. McConaughey was considering running for governor of Texas. I wish he'd decided to do so. He'd be a great improvement over the man currently in that office.
    79
  37. Loved the sentence, "Oh my lord, it's like a law school exam question, where you have to count all the crimes."
    78
  38. When I was in junior high and high school, in the 1970s, parents could always opt their kids out of sex ed. Funny thing, most of the girls that got pregnant, were the ones whose parents had kept them out of sex ed. One of my friends, with super religious parents, didn't even know she was pregnant until her mother brought her to the ER with intense abdominal pains, where she delivered her child. She always wore these long, loose granny dresses, and was not allowed to take PE, so nobody knew. The guy who got her pregnant, told her what they were doing wasn't sex, and she didn't know any better.
    77
  39. This sudden rise in inflation proves that MMT is wrong. Whenever a country just prints more money, inflation follows. When interest rates are extremely low, it both drives inflation and makes saving an absurd idea. Inflation hits the poor and elderly the hardest. The fed needs to raise the prime lending rate now. Keeping it near zero only helps big business, and hurts the people. #RaiseThePrimeRate
    76
  40. Is Perdue really isolating, or is he just afraid to confront Ossoff?
    76
  41. Why hasn't the HUD secretary done anything about this? Oh yeah, Ben Carson, never mind.
    73
  42. This case is not about sex, but about how the payoff, for silence, was illegally carried out. Michael Cohen was already convicted, lost his right to practice law, and served time, for being Trump's bag man. It would be obscene if only the errand boy were punished, for Trump's election finance felony, and the actual culprit was not punished.
    72
  43.  @Seattle-Corporate-Massage  Except they don't charge for infants, that can sit in one's lap.
    68
  44. No, he doesn't. He lies and deflects, and never answers the actual question.
    67
  45. I wish the US military would reinstate Lt. Col. Vindman, at full rank. He was a huge asset, now more than ever.
    66
  46.  @leok7193  Hand washing is effective against diseases that are mostly spread by fomites. But, does little to counter respiratory diseases spread through the air. The effects of masks has been demonstrated by scientific study, and is not a placebo effect.
    65
  47. So Michael Cohen is "a liar on a number of fronts". Perfect resume for this White House's press secretary.
    64
  48. No, Kellyanne, most of the population does not like you . That was a legit question.
    63
  49. We made weed legal, in Oregon, before Canada did. We also made shrooms legal, and decriminalized all drugs, last election.
    62
  50. Trump's former lawyer was right, the world leaders regard him as "a good damned dumbbell".
    61
  51. Since Biden doesn't constantly lie, she'd have no need to push him to finally answer a single question, and stop deflecting.
    60
  52. No, the rest of his statement was telling Pence not to call the governors of MI and WA. He's lying again.
    57
  53. Who would take this job, knowing that their advice will be ignored?
    55
  54. Not just the US, but the entire world.
    55
  55. I've endured the trifecta of pain, that cancer treatment can be. Surgery was the easiest to recover from, chemo is permanently damaging. Not only does it damage all your organs, but if a woman isn't already post-menopause, she is slammed into menopause, as her ovaries are killed. If I made it to 75, and found out I had cancer again, I don't think I could go through more chemo.
    54
  56. Nasty, self indulgent rich people seldom have friends, they have staff. When the paycheck stops, so does the "friendship".
    53
  57. About twenty years ago, when my older daughter was in high school, she and her friends were sitting on my couch texting. I said to my daughter, "Hey, your friends came over to spend time with you. Talk to each other, don't text other people." When they told me they were texting each other, I realized the ability to interact socially was dying.
    53
  58.  @chimanmac3639  Look, sexually harassing your young female employees is repulsive, but Cuomo is not accused of paying underage women for sex, or transporting them to do so, or doing drugs with them. Do you understand which is the greater crime?
    52
  59. Giuliani has lost all credibility.
    50
  60. So the traitor-in-chief accuses patriots, trying to protect the country from a Russian asset, of treason. What a joke.
    50
  61. Pelosi's daughter's video is revelatory. How fortunate the Pelosi family treated January 6, as bring your daughter to work day. Thank you, Alexandra Pelosi, for sharing your work.
    48
  62. Of course it was planned, by Trump. That makes his crime premeditated.
    48
  63. Oh goodie, let's ask Thomas Friedman, the man who has been wrong about every war he has opined on, what he thinks.
    48
  64. Plus, if you look at photos of her, from that time, she was definitely his type. She looked like a model.
    48
  65. Russia dare not "release the science", as they stole it in data hacks.
    47
  66.  @ChineseChicken1  Why do you think a mail-in ballot cannot be traced? Every envelope has a bar code on it. I am sent a text when my ballot is mailed to me, and when my local election board receives it and my signature is verified. If there is a problem with a voter's signature, they notify that voter. They couldn't do that if they couldn't trace the ballot. As to dead people from the 1800s, our voter rolls are linked to the DMV. I really doubt people in the 1800s were registered with a DMV.
    47
  67.  Kiss My Axe  One example? How about how Trump sued Hillary Clinton, and not only was the case dismissed as frivolous, the judge ordered Trump to reimburse her, for her legal costs. And how many frivolous cases, alleging voting fraud, did Trump lose? At least 63.
    47
  68. Working as a programmer, since 1981, I've seen this crap before. Some fool, who thinks programming is easy, and that software engineers are overpaid, fires the top coders (or causes people to leave on their own, with draconian work environments). After a few months, when junior programmers can't cope, or figure out how the systems work, the company folds. Even with the best documentation, it is often hard to figure out all the interrelations, of one system with another. OOPS programming languages were meant to make this easier, but with all the inheritances, and coding short hands, actually make it worse. Musk thinks he's smarter than all his employees. He's wrong.
    47
  69. Sorry, but I grew up in a era, when girls often weren't allowed the same educational opportunities boys got. I like math and computers, but was told I couldn't study engineering, because I was a girl. I went to UCLA as microbiology major, and just took a bunch of computer classes. I was very good at it. So, when I graduated, and got my first job, it was as a computer programmer. I was told I had to be in support, because only males were allowed to be in development, even though the guys complained, and told management I was the better coder. I found out I made less than the guys, in the same job. I endured sexual harassment, from a project leader, who couldn't code his way out of a paper bag, and tried to treat me like a secretary. When my husband and I had children, he refused to help with anything, and I had to quit my job, to care for them. I started grad school, in CS. But, when my husband's boss talked to me at a party, and then mentioned to my husband, that he wanted to hire me, my husband insisted I quit grad school, and started sabotaging my projects. So, now men find themselves, in the same place women have had to inhabit until about twenty years ago. I find it hard to feel sorry for them. It isn't that things are unfair for poor boys and men. It is that finally they are fair for girls and women, and men can't cope.

  70. Many Belarussians did have balls. But Lukashenko and Putin castrated them last year.
    46
  71.  @freda2758  They were trained to fight with air support, which the US withdrew.
    46
  72.  @donalddarko2732 You clearly didn't read the original comment, it is not about responsibility, but the horrible position many females find themselves in, often due to evil men.
    45
  73.  @RikodiusRex  No, they are firing him because he was in communications with his brother's office. Remember, how every other day another woman came forth with a new story of the governor's predation, and how their career was sidelined. Whenever a new victim came forward, Chris helped his brother smear her reputation, before the story broke.
    44
  74. So is Cilizza pissed that Musk is so rich, or that when people take unfair swipes at him, he punches back?
    44
  75. Saying that the US is going socialist will end up like Venezuela is nuts. We will remain a capitalist country, with small amounts of socialism to ease disparity, like western European countries and Canada. This is something to be desired, not feared.
    44
  76. My son-in-law is in the same situation. He fell in love with my daughter in high school, when she was 14 and he was 15. He asked me how he could marry her, and my answer was be there for her, whenever she needs help. They were the best of friends through high school, and into her college years. And although they dated other people, he was always there for her. She finally started dating him, when she was 22, and then they moved in together. But, still, she would not marry him, no matter how many times he asked. She was worried because he only had a HS education. They bought a house together, and struggled, then thrived. He supported her as she went to grad school, and got an MBA. At the age of 34, she became pregnant with their first child, and they got married. She makes more money than he does, with lots of benefits, but he does very well, and runs his own flooring firm. He is the more loving parent, and always there for their sons. It works, mostly because they adore each other. If society could get over it's preconceived ideas, that the man has to be the smart one who makes lots of money, and the woman the nurturing one, it wouldn't matter that women are often better educated.
    43
  77. At least Davidson apologized, and Crenshaw came on SNL to accept that apology.
    43
  78. A stolen rental car.
    42
  79. Russia has replaced the GPS, in Shaheed drones, with Russian GLONASS. A test, performed by the Norwegian Navy, has demonstrated GLONASS can be jammed. We need to provide Ukraine with all the GPS jammers they need. If Zakaria's scenario, of swarms of AI drones, were realized, those drones would need communications to coordinate. And any communications can be jammed.
    42
  80. There is methane in their burps, and methane is emitted from those fertile cow pies. In fact 30% of California's green house gasses are produced by cattle (or rather the bacteria in their fore-gut).
    41
  81. Isn't telling member of their conspiracy, to stay quiet about what they did, proof they knew it was an illegal conspiracy? It sounds like consciousness of guilt to me.
    40
  82. Anyone who believes that, has never written code for a living, Even in the 1980s, the backdoors I left myself, when designing systems, were a heck of lot more complicated than that.
    40
  83.  @johnfor7522  Little green men are not civilians. Maybe they shouldn't be occupying Ukraine.
    39
  84. I was sure he wasn't white, when instead of being charged with negligent homicide, he was only charged with second-degree recklessly endangering, despite killing 5 people. And, then I saw his angry photo, yes indeed. They also gave him a much lower bail, only $7,500, $2,500 for each life he took.
    39
  85. Back in the 1980s, when LA put in HOV lanes on freeway entrances, I was pulled over for wrongly using the lane. My infant daughter was in the car with me, and the sign said for use of 2 or more persons only. The officer claimed that didn't include babies. I said of course it did. He then offered to let me go, with a warning to not do it again. I told him I would, as a baby is still a person, and he didn't understand the law, and further, I was not going to go until he apologized to me, as I wrote down his badge number. He then apologized. I hope that all pregnant women, living in states that wrongly consider a fetus a person, use the HOV lane. And, if pulled over, make the cop apologize. Get their badge number, and report them.
    39
  86. That climate change is dangerous to the air we breathe and water we drink, and to our very lives, is not a contentious matter. It is well documented. The fact this weird woman thinks it is contentious should be enough to know she has poor judgement, and should not be on any court bench, let alone that of the highest court in the land.
    39
  87. Even before the emergent coronaviruses, mRNA vaccines have been in development. And there were working vaccines, in use, against oncoproteins. Because an mRNA vaccine had been developed and tested, against SARS-1, researchers already knew that using the entire spike protein gene resulted in vaccine induced immunopathy, so knew to only use portions of that protein's gene. There was a safe mRNA SARS vaccine ready to go, just as that epidemic burned itself out.
    38
  88. She asked why they were siding with Russia. He answered they weren't siding with Russia, just looking after their own interests. How is that not answering the question?
    38
  89. I used to admire Musk's commitment to space travel and lessening our dependence on fossil fuels. But lately, he's just seemed rather dickish. I must admit to a bit of schadenfreude for his current predicament.
    38
  90. Despite its ;name Project Veritas has nothing to do with the truth. It is a far right-wing propaganda machine. Its "news" is routinely debunked. It is being sued for the lies it spread.
    38
  91. I hope that Mr. Farrow has absolutely no skeletons in the closet. These creeps are going to go after him to discredit him. Thank you Ronan Farrow from bringing the horrors women face in corporate culture. I remember being told by HR, after being assaulted by my project leader, that we all just go along to get along. That I needed to make a choice between my marriage and my career.
    38
  92. These women are sick! Just a touch? He climbed on top of her and tried to take her clothing off while grinding himself on her. That is not a 'just a touch". He held his hand over her mouth so she could not yell. That shows a consciousness of guilt. So he was just 17. William Wordsworth wrote that the "child is father of the man". That 'child' tried to rape a younger girl. He is not the kind of man that should be on the highest court of the land.
    37
  93. Before passing a huge spending bill, with a CBO score showing it will make inflation worse, why not get inflation under control? Why hasn't the prime rate been raised? Keeping it this low only benefits big business, while making life for the common citizen overly expensive. We should be able to get a return on our bank savings, and also be able to put food on the table. Raise the prime lending rate already!
    37
  94. I'm down voting because the title should be "St. Louis couple defends their property from trespassing mob who broke in."
    37
  95.  J P  How is it going to the Supreme Court,? All the cases have been dismissed as frivolous. He has no grounds to appeal, and without going through the appeals court, you cannot get to the Supreme Court.
    36
  96. The ball was dropped in 2014, when Russia first invaded Ukraine, and placed little green men in the Donbas and Crimea.
    36
  97. They can handle one guy. The riot overwhelmed them.
    35
  98. So, based upon the idea that Mifepristone was originally developed for a different purpose, this judge would forbid it being used to terminate pregnancies? How about Rogaine, Cialis and Viagra? They were originally developed for the treatment of blood pressure irregularities. This ruling should prevent their ever being prescribed to treat male pattern baldness or impotency. Gabapentin was originally developed to prevent seizures, yet is routinely used for pain management. Should all those suffering people continue to suffer? Some antidepressants are used to treat addiction and PTSD. Won't be able to do that anymore. You or a friend or family member, have probably been prescribed a drug for an off-label use. Even if you don't care about women's bodily autonomy, this ruling should frighten you.
    35
  99. Sexual harassers and predators never have only one victim. They are entitled jerks who harass or assault numerous women. Every time there is one of these allegations, against a real sexual predator, countless other victims come out as well. This allegation was settled in 2018. It was in the news prior to the settlement. If no other victim has come forward, in four years, the allegation is bogus.
    35
  100. So, Republicans block a bi-partisan committee, but it's Pelosi's fault there is no bi-partisan committee. Right.
    35
  101. We know her answer, she signed onto a statement that no abortion should ever be allowed. She is lying through omission.
    34
  102.  STOP CENSORING THE TRUTH!  Cheney is a genuine Republican, a conservative all the way through. Just because Trump hijacked that party, and it is now filled with RiNOs, does not make her one. She and Kinzinger are the real deal, the genuine article, unlike the spineless toadies who follow Trump's whims, like a pack of dingleberries, drooping from his anus.
    33
  103.  @PrePre_  Which only demonstrates a lack of empathy.
    33
  104. When you are facing a disease, passed on by asymptomatic individuals, taking everyone's temperature is useless.
    33
  105.  @crxess  Nobody is claiming the UV light isn't good at sterilizing surfaces. But the same sterilizing procedures, that work well on inert surfaces, would kill living organisms, like humans. And anyone who cannot make that distinction is an idiot!
    32
  106.  @ragnarlothbrok4281  Considering Trump has suggested treating this disease with a malaria drug, bleach injections, and "using light inside the body", I wouldn't listen to his recommendations either. I take my advice from scientific papers. And I assume, Harris listens to those with actual expertise.
    32
  107. If you're not a health worker, or a heavy smoker, you'll probably live.
    32
  108. I'm not sure McCain is laughing. But, I bet Liz Cheney is having a good chuckle.
    32
  109. I just returned from spending a couple of months in Israel. There are lots of Russians now, more than I ever remember seeing. Several times, when buying something at the Sufersal or Superpharm, the cashier just assumed I spoke Russian. Several times a guy, on his phone, would grab me, and ask me if I could translate Russian for him (in Hebrew of course). They are buying a lot of properties in Ashdod, Ashkelon, Be'er Sheva and Kiryat Gat. I guess, it was time to get out of Russia while they could. One plus, they are so obnoxious, they make Americans look good in comparison.

  110. It looked more like a golden Big Boy in board shorts. It is pathetic.

  111.  @cirilloz  Not true, when I saw the first, less incriminating video, I was struck with how she said it was her fault, that he wouldn't let her into her own van, because of her OCD. She clearly had been gaslighted into thinking she was responsible for his controlling behavior. The old "look what you made me do to you" BS.
    31
  112.  @rokarolla  Stop pissing away school funds on sports. There is no good reason to have competitive sports in educational centers (schools and colleges). All it does is raise the self esteem of the stupid. Schools should focus on education, and a school's status should be determined by the scholastic prowess of their students, not the football team.
    31
  113. Now do a story on the ones that don't drown, and are instead making Europe a more and more hostile place to live. Ask them why they have such huge families, that they can't afford to feed them all. Ask them why they have such disregard for laws, that they invade other countries, when they aren't wanted.
    31
  114.  @dontyouwishyouknewmyname3598  Yes indeed. The people trying to force women, to continue an unwanted pregnancy, are extremely evil, and will burn in hell. Those that say a woman's body is her own are very good people.

  115. He's like a petulant child. 'I want my wall, and I want it now! If I don't get my wall, I'll break the country!'
    31
  116. Trump always hears things, yet he never cites a source. I think he is hearing the voices in his head.
    30
  117. This is absurd. If snapchat wants to ban the use of the "f" word, or a finger gesture, that is their business. But, as this happened off school grounds, the school should have no say what so ever. It is quite possible this young woman has a legitimate complaint, that there is a double standard. She should be allowed the relatively safe outlet, that social media provides, to voice that complaint. If young people's right to state a grievance is removed from them, that causes pent up frustration, which can result in self harm, or harm to others. The school's energy would be better spent stopping bullying, and unequal treatment of less popular students.

  118. Science may be hard, but it is never boring. Sure hours spent in the lab, or in this man's case the observatory, may be boring, but the discoveries one makes are both fascinating and important.

  119. Yes, but you don't have a mob of political followers, who will insist you're a martyr.

  120. They won't even bring up relief for the average American, but a chance to rip away healthcare brings them to the floor.

  121. More proof that they aren't pro-life, they are anti-women. Welcome to Gilead.
    29
  122. Joe Scarborough is always zinging Trump on his show. He relishes when his bon mots hit a sore spot. Trump's baseless allegations against him, are proof that Joe has really hurt the little man's feelings. I'd be laughing at how well Scarborough got his goat, but I do feel sorry for the poor widower's pain.
    29
  123. As many people clapped as booed, when he said Trump was only running to stay out of prison. Why not just show us the clip, without all the mindless preamble? He continued talking, to a crowd that responded with both boos and cheers. That is not being booed off stage.
    29
  124. He gets angry with her for using a figure he considers hypothetical, then gives her hypothetical production numbers for the end of the year .
    29
  125. Momeni's neighbors describe him as a violent drunk, and the police had been called to his apartment numerous times, for noise complaints. He also was arrested for selling an illegal switchblade. The both ran tech firm's, but Momeni's company was not doing well, while Lee's was. Lee was happily married. All of you writing this was a lover's quarrel gone wrong are just sick. If the motive for murder was emotional, it was due to jealousy.
    29
  126. I did not like the way he husband and son governed. Yet, she always seemed a good, gracious person. May her passing be peaceful, pain-free and spent with those she loves. Please remember, those we disagree with, and their families, are still people. Try to be kind.
    29
  127. And other minorities as well. But, they don't consider anyone who is not a WASP an American. So our votes are fraudulent.
    28
  128.  @guts7295  Many European countries still remember the Ottoman invasion, and the way they were treated by Muslims then. Poland lost a lot of its land to the Ottoman Empire, and ended up being divided among the victors. Learn a little history, and you won't ask such stupid questions.
    27
  129.  @metallicbanana2914  By "establishment cronies" do you mean competent and qualified, not the golfing buddies, lackeys and donors Trump appointed?
    27
  130. He's also the man who ridiculed Romney for thinking Russia was a threat. Nor did he act strongly enough when Russia invaded Ukraine the first time.
    27
  131.  @supermovietimebros6770  You could just google it. There's plenty of evidence. You must have been living in a cave, with no internet, to have missed all of it.
    27
  132. If he'd chosen Joe Liberman, instead of Palin, I would have voted for him. I know quite a few other people who felt the same. Palin was a forerunner of the crazies who have perverted the Republican party. But, at least Palin is gracious about his not wanting her there. Too bad the orange one has less class than she.
    27
  133.  @michaeldowner2337  Just because someone does not agree with you, does not make them a racist. As soon as you start calling names, you've admitted you have no logical argument, ie. are wrong.
    27
  134. She is what true Republicans are like. Not these tea party types who are too draconian to be Libertarians. Not all honest people are liberals. She is an honest Conservative, which is why she doesn't kiss Trump's backside.
    26
  135.  @realryder2626  Have you ever worked on software? Most of the work is in your head. You're thinking through problem solutions every minute of the day, not just when you are at the keyboard.
    26
  136.  @ahmadal_shanqeety  Virginia v Loving was about being able to have an interracial marriage, not an interspecies marriage.
    26
  137.  @patriciathompson1776  Your logic is as flawed as your grammar. The reason that Trump was impeached the first time was Bolton did speak up. He reported Trump's illegal phone call to the appropriate government lawyers, and had his people do the same.
    26
  138. What he did wasn't embellish his resume. That's when you say you were in the top 10% of your graduating class, when you really were in the top 25%. Or if you claim to have a masters, but were a couple of credits short. Or saying you went to MIT, when you really graduated from Boston College, and only took a few classes at MIT. Saying you have a masters from a prestigious university, when you never attended any college, is out and out lying. Claiming you worked for companies, who never met you, when you never worked in the field, is lying. Saying that your grandparents fled the Holocaust, when they were Catholics born in Brazil, is lying. Saying you own numerous properties, when you were evicted from any place you'd rented, and live in your sister's house, is lying.
    26
  139. Sorry that you quit before your time. It must be hard, to give a rat's backside, about patients that purposely left themselves vulnerable. I got my BA in microbiology, and was planning on going into medicine, until I realized that politics were forcing us to treat something that clearly was an emergent retrovirus, as a genetic disease (GRID/AIDS).
    26
  140. Rogan let Ryan shake his hand. So, he was polite. He's obviously willing to work with Republicans, as he was at Romney's event to raise money. But, everyone knows that any image can be used for political reasons. It is his right not to let his image be used.
    26
  141. I hope Trump is forced to remove his makeup before his mugshot, and take the lifts out of his shoes before he is weighed and has his height measured.
    26
  142.  @cheeseburger12  When Trump was in office, and got vaccinated, did he advertise it? Did he make his vaccination a press event? Did he even say he was vaccinated until after he'd lost? No to all those. For more than a year, he told nobody he was vaccinated. That is hardly "touting the vaccine". I'm thrilled he finally spoke out, but it took a long time.
    25
  143. Well for starters, coronaviruses are RNA, not DNA viruses. Does that mean anything to you? I have a degree in microbiology, and have taken virology courses. That knowledge is really useless, unless you are one of the people working on the vaccine. What people need to know is, stock up on supplies in case you need to stay away from other people for a while. Don't shake hands, try not to touch anything, wash your hands thoroughly before touching your face or food. If you have to cough or sneeze, cough into the crook of your elbow, not your hand.
    25
  144. Anyone seen the latest IPSOS poll? According to it, 77% of US citizens say the new justice should be chosen based upon qualifications, not race and gender. Only 23% think the justice must be a black woman.
    25
  145. Where I live, those over 65 are just becoming eligible. I'm a 63 year old cancer survivor, whose heart was damaged by chemo, and I'm not eligible till next month, maybe. This is totally unfair.
    25
  146. The problem with that is, some poor woman already had to go through the pain of an unwanted pregnancy and delivery, in order for a baby to even exist. And that is wrong. I think instead of unwanted babies, the testicles of every man who ever started an unwanted pregnancy, should be placed upon the altar of the courthouse steps.
    25
  147. More the result of voter suppression than apathy. Kentucky has done a superb job of preventing black voters from going to the polls. So many of the ills of this country can be laid at the Supreme Court's feet. The voting act should never have been declared unnecessary. And campaign finance laws should not have been undone by the Citizen's United decision.
    25
  148.  @13bustah  Were you not around for the Whitewater blowjob investigations of Clinton? What about when his wife was forced to testify for eleven hours, over Benghazi? If Republican legislators can grill people over non-crimes, certainly Democratic ones can subpoena people over an actual attempt to overthrow the government.
    24
  149. Hang on, I thought that Haitians spoke a patois of French. All these people, they are interviewing, are speaking Spanish. Are they Haitians or Dominicans? Of are they just liars?
    24
  150.  @sparklingfashion6276  Stop victim blaming. Everyone is bullied at school. That is no excuse for mass murder.
    24
  151.  @starleyshelton2245  That's really doubtful, but typical. Deflection when there is no defense. Hillary was intensely scrutinized, in a way Trump could never stand. And she's not the one lawyers fear taking the stand, because he can't go one minute without lying.
    23
  152. We might still have suffered 9/11. But not the stupid Iraq war. Why we attacked Iraq for something Saudis did has always baffled me.
    23
  153. At first I thought that you were a hateful, racist bitch, but I see you are just a Russian troll causing trouble.
    23
  154. What crime would you have Bolton arrested for? And being disliked by you, is not a crime.
    23
  155. Condolences from Oregon. We've got nuts too, but most were bussed in from Texas.
    23
  156. Trump's lawyers didn't need to present a convincing or cogent argument, they merely needed to give most Republicans an excuse for voting how they always were going to.
    23
  157.  cj p  Reading isn't your strong suit, is it? The subtitle says he was 60. Afraid that wearing a mask to protect those around you will make people think you are a liberal?

  159. Married is married. If they are married US citizens, what is the problem? btw I love the name they gave their daughter. Kesem means magic.
    23
  160. Springfield, Oregon is the neighbor city of Eugene. I wonder how many filling his hospital are University of Oregon students. Many here are acting like Covid is over. My neighbor is currently pissed off that he threw a block party, and none of the college educated neighbors came.
    23
  161. Be more specific. There are too many Russian bots and trolls, claiming everything is Zelensky's fault, for not capitulating to Putin's outrageous demands.
    23
  162. On more than one occasion, returning home to Portland Oregon, my bags ended up in Maine.
    22
  163. In a country, where one is arrested for holding up a blank sign?
    22
  164.  @mmbs3191  The real story is why they would tell her one thing, then later deny it. Take a look at their bank accounts.
    22
  165. Except a drug dealer is committing a vice crime, which has no victim. By cheating on taxes, the US government is defrauded of needed revenue, and all the American people are the victims.
    22
  166. There were about 17,250 murders last year in the US. He has a dozen or so people who claim their child was killed by illegal aliens over an unknown number of years. Of those 17,250 murders last year approximately 14,800 were killed with guns. Obviously, if you want to bring down murders in the US, it would be far more effective to address those killed with guns, than the handful killed by illegal aliens. In Canada, people with a history of domestic violence may not own a gun. Let's start there, rather than this moronic wall.
    22
  167.  @AT-nq6cu  There was no conflict between Trump and autocrats, because Trump wanted to be just like them. Trump gave the dictators carte blanche to do whatever they wanted. eg. When Erdogan wanted to kill the Kurds, who were fighting Da'ash, and protecting the Syrian people, Trump gave him the go-ahead, and withdrew our support of the Kurds. And when Congress voted to give aid to Ukraine, Trump illegally held that aid up, in an attempt to force them to slander Trump's most likely political opponent. Who was helped by that withholding of aid to Ukraine? Putin, the man Trump fawned over.
    22
  168. Spoke to my daughter today. Her second boy is almost three months old. I asked if she had heard about the formula shortage. She said she was so happy she was breastfeeding, and didn't have to face it. But, she had a friend who has a nine month old, and decided to wean him last month, and now is scrambling, and wishing she'd kept breastfeeding until her baby was a year old. When my girls were babies, I pumped my extra and donated it to the local hospital, for the premies. My daughter says she might sell her extra, or give it to her friend. Moms, who can't find formula, might be able to locate a generous mother, who didn't wean too soon, to buy breastmilk from.
    22
  169. I'm a cancer survivor. That doesn't make me an oncologist. I learned a lot more from the one oncology class I took at uni than I did being a patient, and that involved a lot of reading.

  170. "Fantastic healthcare, so cheap, everyone will be able to afford it." "Who knew healthcare was so hard?"
    21
  171.  @dalecrocker3213  No, there were not. Wanting to dominate half of Europe is not a legit reason.
    21
  172. Intelligent people recognize and appreciate intelligence in others, experts appreciate and admire expertise in others. But, ignorant bombasts have to denigrate intelligent experts, as they look stupid in comparison.
    21
  173.  @coloradochris3952  There are lot of deadly disease, that you don't know you have, until tested. Otherwise, we wouldn't have hospital laboratories. You make no sense.
    21
  174. No, they aren't incomprehensible, they are unconscionable, but that is different. They want to take all hope from the Ukrainian people, to force them to give up. By reducing Ukraine's ability to produce electricity, in the upcoming winter, they hope to make life in Ukraine unbearable.
    21
  175.  @mattwilliams1205  Blame Putin.
    21
  176. What is truly sad is this man got his education in fine British universities. He just acts like an ignorant hick. He knows better, and is purposely muddying the water.
    21
  177. What is weird is, even in states where cannabis is totally legal, companies still test employees for cannabis use. If you aren't impaired at work, how is it any of their concern? I'm in the 55+ category, use cannabis where it is legal, and have never smoked a cigarette. I went through chemotherapy ten years ago, and found cannabis much better, to deal with the pain and nausea, than the damned opiates my oncologist prescribed.
    21
  178. There are a lot of European and African dictatorships as well, all with the same loose idea of what an election is. If Trump could have done, as his buddies Edogan and Putin do, whatever he wants, Biden would have been jailed for that bogus Ukraine nonsense.
    20
  179. When I was getting my BA in microbiology, I belonged to a chemistry fraternity that offered free tutoring in chemistry. We hated tutoring the nursing students because they were so blindingly stupid. This RN just proves that point. She says that she's seen a lot of adverse reactions, but data collected proves her a liar and fool. The only side effects are much, much milder versions of what some experience with the actual virus.
    20
  180. Yes, he has effectively tanked the Turkish economy, with run-away inflation. He angered every other Mediterranean nation, by claiming the entire Med sea as Turkish territory. If his goal was making Turkey a poor pariah state, well done.
    20
  181. Right up there with all of Hitler's speeches.
    20
  182. If you makes you feel any better, most Americans were throroughly disgusted when he compared himself to Lincoln. Lincoln was a self educated man of great intelligence, from a very poor background, not an entitled, rich brat like Trump. Like Churchill, Lincoln was an eloquent orator, and leader of men. For Trump to compare himself to the Great Emacipator is revolting.
    20
  183. What is despicable to me is, the police did not remove this woman when he called them. I feel very sorry for him, and nothing but disgust for her, and anyone who thinks she had a right to ruin his business, by assaulting his customers, as she did.
    20
  184. He's such a man of the people, that they terrify him.
    20
  185.  @nerakar6562  Sorry honey, but SE Cupp is a conservative. She's on CNN to give the other point of view. She's anti-Trump, but then Trump is not conservative, and many real conservatives, like William Kristol and Charlie Sykes, are also anti-Trump.
    20
  186. It's not so bad that Theresa May speaks better than Trump, but it is embarrassing that the leaders of France and Israel speak English better than our president.
    20
  187. Who do you think Trump was modeling?
    20
  188. Islam needs to respect other religions and cultures first. Respect is earned. When you treat others, with the disrespect you do, you will only get contempt in return.
    20
  189. Hard to think of a part of the country that doesn't have natural disasters. Drought, wild fires, earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes. hurricanes, heavy snow, flooding. Why would anyone live in an area with a lot of snow or tornadoes?
    20
  190. Would you ask a juror how they will decide before the trial? She keeps bullying Booker to do exactly that. If the House impeaches, he will be among the jury (because he is a Senator and the Senate decides whether or not to remove). It is proper that he keeps an open mind.
    20
  191. He called Roche roach. I'm sure they'll love that.
    20
  192. Kentucky didn't make voting safer during the pandemic, because those in power knew, if everyone could vote, they'd be out of a job. Kentucky did not allow no excuse absentee ballots. The precinct that was most heavily black, had only one polling place, and it closed at 6 pm. Other precincts had several polling places, that stayed open much later. Mitch doesn't want any bill, that assures all citizens the right to vote, to pass, because it will mean the end of his power in Kentucky.
    20
  193. When Riggleman talked about how people will do terrible things, in the name of a fight against good and evil, it made me think of the bloody Crusades and the Inquisition. The greatest evil wrought in the name of good.
    19
  194. Rep. Raskin was a Constitutional Law professor. It's not surprising he is presenting an outstanding argument. Maryland did well in electing him.
    19
  195.  @theone8327  He is not my favorite in the field, but, his wandering off is more a sign of a mind full of ideas than Alzheimer's. He certainly is much more cognizant and coherent than the creep currently in office.
    19
  196. If Pence truly were a moral man, he would have never accepted Trump's invitation to be VP. Even a cursory perusal, of Trump's personal history prior to 2015, showed he is a venile man prone to cheating, banks, to get into college, on his taxes, on his business associates, and on his wife. His business dealings were very shady, including money laundering. He defaulted on loans and business obligations (like paying contractors) regularly. Trump even boasted that cheating is smart. That Pence, a man who cloaks himself in Christian piety, could debase himself, to associate with such an odious man, was always hard to comprehend.
    19
  197.  @Angel-sf3ij  Why does everyone forget that the Russians hacked both the DNC and RNC, in early 2016, but only weaponized the doctored DNC data? There has to be a lot of GOP dirt, that the Russians gave to Trump, to keep all in line. Think of all the Republicans that quickly did an about face regarding Trump. Graham isn't the only one.
    19
  198. Forget the swear jar, just fit them with shock collars. Every time one of them interrupts (and interrupting the interrupter isn't interrupting) or lies, they get a shock.

  200. It's obvious he couldn't get a fair trial in Minneapolis, there should have been a change of venue.
    19
  201. I'm not sure about court recesses, but I understand those for Congress. Congress people use their recesses to connect with their constituents, and find out what they want.
    19
  202. That plus those in the submersible weren't criminals, illegally invading another country, but just tourists.
    19
  203. Thank you for putting Mr. Sandweg on. Obviously, if we have a problem because we can't process asylum applicants fast enough, the answer is to hire more judges, not fire them.
    19
  204.  @warrenbooysen  The first amendment is supposed to prevent law making based upon religion, which is what an abortion ban is. As to the second, you're correct, if you belong to a "well regulated militia" that is protecting the security of the state, you have a right to a gun. All that means is we can't disarm the National Guard.
    19
  205.  C S  Yeah, he lied about everything, but his friend was the driver of the car, and he didn't leave him, but pulled him out of the fiery wreck. The truth makes a good story, I don't know why he lied.
    19
  206. My Trump supporting boyfriend today told me Trump was going to get rid of anchor babies. I asked him if he really thought that that amendment could be ratified. He then told me Trump would do it by executive order. When I said he couldn't, he said he'd already done it. It's nice to know he was full of it.
    19
  207. Don't just ask him if he'd pardon Trump. Ask him if he'd pardon his former partner is crime, Martin Skrelli.
    19
  208. Good advice, except it doesn't take into account, that Trump doesn't care for his party, any more than he cares for his country. He's only motivated by what is good for him.
    18
  209.  @sophiab3005  No, he thought Trump would help the Republicans win. He never foresaw how he'd completely destroy McConnell's chances for control of the Senate.
    18
  210. I feel your pain. My 60 year old baby brother just passed a few weeks ago from an unknown lung infection. (No tests in rural California, they are only for the big cities.) We couldn't sit shiva either. I couldn't even fly down to take care of the arrangements. Had to do everything long distance. Whatever he had, he gave to my 92 year old mother. She was in ICU for two weeks with an unknown respiratory infection. But, nothing kills her, she's senile, but tough.
    18
  211.  @Red_Oliver  If he's so weak, and beating Sanders this badly, what does that say about Sanders? You can't have it both ways. Either he is such a good candidate, that he's beating a lesser candidate. Or Sanders is so pathetically bad, that Trump would eat him for lunch.
    18
  212. Someone get that man a thesaurus. He needs to expand his vocabulary.
    18
  213.  @kgirl310  As an old lady, I love the fact an old lady told him to just shut his mouth. She's got no patience with that ill behaved toddler.
    18
  214.  @dan_hitchman007  No, he is a Republican. And when Trump was doing those things normal Republicans like, he was fine with Trump. But, when Trump behaved like a tyrant, when he trod upon the Constitution, Romney objected. He, alone amongst all Republican Senators, voted to remove Trump from office. He is an honest patriot, like McCain was, but he is still a Republican.
    18
  215.  @FaithwalkerTodd  You're wrong. Florida has a 5.5% corporate tax. Florida also has property taxes, and Disney pays plenty of them. As to "nicer theme parks", none of then bring Florida the revenue Disney does.
    18
  216. At least Walker didn't have thugs threaten and harass Warnock, like Greene did to her opponent.

  217. To sum up what Jordan said: even though my actions and speech contributed to the anger that fueled this violence, I take no responsibility for it, blame the other side for our actions, and refuse to punish the man who incited the mob.

  218. Wasn't it the father who was kicking the other female in the head? Lovely family.

  219. Thank you.
    18
  220.  @jack-of-all-trades1234  Just because someone did something amazing almost forty years ago, doesn't mean they haven't gone batty since. Sure Mullis is a biochemist, who using ideas and facts discovered by others, came up with the idea of amplifying a genetic signal. That doesn't mean he knows squat about immunology, virology or epidemiology. It also doesn't mean he is still right in the head. As a child, I met Linus Pauling on a California beach. He was already quite senile, and ranted about how vitamin C could cure everything from the common cold to cancer. He had two Nobel prizes, but was still very demented. I also got to meet Glenn T. Seaborg, another man with two Nobel prizes, when I was an undergrad at UCLA, twenty years before his death. He was charming, brilliant, and still of sound mind. I doubt Seaborg would have debated Pauling, because while Seaborg was sane, Pauling was not.
    18
  221. He sounds like a mad king, "How dare the peasants question me!? They must be crazy!"
    18
  222. They are defining it like that because 93% of Covid deaths are in those 55 and older. So if you're under 50, and don't have a serious preexisting condition, you'll probably survive the disease.
    18
  223. Interesting, considering the states with the highest murder rate per capita are, in order, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Missouri, Arkansas, South Carolina and Tennessee. Which one of those is a liberal state?
    18
  224. The soul of the GOP died with McCain. I didn't agree with him on many things, but I never doubted his honesty or patriotism. He might have won in 2008, if he had not been saddled with Q-razy Palin.

  225.  @brucemacmillan7128  What is truly sad is, if you can get to a part of the earth that is really flat, like the ocean or Kansas, you can see that the earth does curve, as the horizon is not infinite. If you have the ability to reason, you don't even need to be above the earth, to realize there is curvature.

  226.  @dannyhale2004  The only truth one can learn from 2000 Mules is, some people don't know how data works, and couldn't do a decent statistical analysis, for any amount of money. Yet are still willing to profit off of bad math.

  227. Trump isn't mature enough for kindergarten. My toddler grandson can wait for his turn better than Trump can.
    17
  228. Why the rush? Why not reopen the investigations? What are they hiding? Clearly, given how they treated Merrick Garland, they have no problem with 8 justices on the court. Why not wait until a full investigation of the four allegations against him? Any hypocrisy displayed is by the Republicans rushing this confirmation.

  229. When the truth is a threat to your brand, there is something wrong with your brand.

  230. Actually, Gore was the Congressperson who pushed for funding for the establishment of the internet. He believed it was the future, and was correct. I remember when DARPAnet morphed into what became the internet, and the most common domain names were .edu. If any politician can take credit for the internet, it is Gore.

  231.  @brendajohnson5525  He's not common, he's subpar, an inferior individual.

  232.  @davidgray8089  You can't educate the willfully ignorant.
    17
  233. Please remember, you may be hearing the recording now, but it was recorded on January 6, 2020, shortly after the insurrectionists had left the capitol. We heard Graham being interviewed, on the same day, and saying it was all Trump's fault, and the he was "done with him". While he was still angry, he spoke his mind. But, after he was harassed and threatened, at the airport, he came back to the party line.
    17
  234. How is putting your children's fate into the hands of evil human traffickers, like these, not child abuse? What is wrong with their parents?
    17
  235.  @federalreservewolflegend3523  And yet, despite your insults, she was one of the very few Republicans, willing to give up her political career, to support her country and democracy.
    17
  236.  @MsDy-vv8jo  Probably because when Florida actually counted all the votes, it turned out that Gore had really gotten more votes, and should have become president. The difference was only a few hundred votes. There were a lot of problems in Florida that year, like the butterfly ballots and dimpled chads. This year has seen no such problems. And the vote differences are much, much wider. Trump does not have any credible path to victory.
    17
  237. He'll deny it though, and claim we aren't his type.
    17
  238. So he wouldn't coup with Milley. If you want to commit a crime, you generally wouldn't ask an honest person to be an accomplice.
    17
  239. Dropped off my ballot last night. ( I'm lucky enough to live in a state that encourages voting.) For the first time in my long life, I voted a straight Democratic ticket.
    17
  240. When they build this home, on a protected island, will they put in staff bathrooms, that their security detail can use? Or do they just plan on having an outhouse or portapotty?

  241. Plus, she has a spine of steel, something most Republicans lack.

  242. Shame of you for attacking the victims of Arab atrocities.

  243.  @Michael_919  I'm certain Mr. Conway has enough intelligence, to spell past correctly. That's something you lack.
    16
  244.  Tommy Thompson  Why is Germany still concerned about Nazis? The reason is the same. People were duped, damage was done. I hope these poor, deluded folk get the deprogramming they need.

  245.  @dogpoofairy2517  If you haven't noticed yet, BLM is not the Democratic party. And Biden did condemn the violence and destruction.

    16
  247. I know, when my father was in the Reserves, he had to leave any weapon in a locker on base. Isn't that why we have armories, to store weapons when they are not being used on active duty?
    16
  248. There is nothing wrong with their owning stocks, as long as they are in a blind trust, and they have no idea which stocks they actually own. If they know they will personally benefit from a law, then that becomes a conflict of interest.

  249. I don't respect her for standing up for what she believes in, I admire her for standing up for our country and Constitution.
    16
  250. I was raised in the Republican party, by very conservative, conservationist, pro-choice parents. When I first registered to vote, I did so as a Republican. But, when the party nominated Reagan, who had proven to be a profligate spender as California's governor, I left the party and knocked doors for John Anderson. Reagan turned out to be exactly what I knew he'd be, jingoistic, and a spendthrift, who deregulated and lowered taxes on the rich. My parents stayed Republicans to the end, but also stopped voting, as the party was taken over by religious nuts, who interfered with women's reproductive choices.

  251.  @deena2100  These crackpots weren't just given the ballots, they were also given the voter rolls.
    16
  252. Nigeria's population has quadrupled, in the last fifty years. As they outstrip their resources, famine and war result. The best way to bring down family size, peacefully, is to educate girls, and delay their marriages, until at least age 18. Thank you, Ms. Yousafzai, for your important work, in this area.
    16
  253.  @mattjohnson3rd3  I've always voted for the pro-choice candidate. And yet, in nearly half a century, none of them has drafted a bill to ensure our reproductive freedom. What good is voting, when our representatives spend their time obeying the whims of certain special interests groups, but not protecting women?

  256.  @theone8327  I doubt you were alive then. Because, if you were, you would remember that the crime rate was incredibly high in the US at that time, with a lot of resulting deaths, especially in minority neighborhoods. Community leaders all over the country, including black community leaders, were demanding that Congress do something to bring down the crime rate. The bill that was passed was that attempt to do something. It has had terrible unintended consequences, but it was well meaning and welcomed by black communities at the time.
    15
  257. You also got training, and were given food and water.
    15
  258.  @KTPurdy  No, it started in 2015. If Trump had lost the Electoral College in 2016, we would have seen the same events occur. He never agreed to abide by the results of the election, not in 2020, and not in 2016.

    15
  266. @Brian Johnston Marriage is not "a christian creation by g_d", my people have been getting married long before your religion existed, since your religion is based upon a pagan debasement of mine. If we want to go by who invented marriage, Hindus have been getting married long before your religion existed, and even before my religion, so Hindus own marriage.

  267. Your state passed a medical cannabis bill, last month. You'll probably have to wait a few months longer, but as you have a documented medical condition, should probably be able to buy cannabis soon.
    15
  268.  @danwright1794  Hogan wins reelection, in a purple state, because he is sane and governs well. If a crazy Trump lover beats him in the primary, a Democrat will win the general election. The Republican party knows this. That is why they avoided a primary in Virginia, another purple state.
    15
  269. I don't know if you buy from Amazon. But, you can set up an Amazon account to give a certain percentage of the price of a purchase to a charity. I have mine set up to donate to Planned Parenthood. It's an easy way to help a good cause.

  272. And stem cell donation is neither as painful, or dangerous, as giving birth is.

  273.  @jeffvanbrederode9506  The people did remove him, at the ballot box. Milley was just trying to ensure that a peaceful transition occurred. Milley was engaged in coup prevention.

  274. Only evil people find evil inspiring.
    15
  275. We do need a national referendum process. There are many things the people want, that legislature and courts refuse to allow us. Reproductive freedom is one, legal cannabis is another. If we had a national referendum process, we might even have the guaranteed annual income, Nixon wanted for citizens, but legislature refused to act on. We might even have a fairer, more graduated tax structure, with fewer loopholes for the rich and corporations. But, how do we take that power, for the people?
    15
  276.  Ephesians511  You clearly didn't pay attention. He went through, point by point, how the whole antivaccination movement is a cult. It divides people into them and us, demonizes the them, and ignores facts while spouting well debunked falsehoods. Leave the cult.
    14
  277. He was a D student. At least most of the other Republican goons have law degrees from prestigious universities.

  278. Frankly, since one member of Congress beat another nearly to death, with a cane, in Lincoln's day, I'm surprised any weapons are allowed on the floor.

  280. If someone gave me that fantasy movie, I too would say "Oh my god". Because I'd be shocked by the gullibility of that woman. How divorced from reality is she?

  281. Blitzer demonstrated his ignorance. It was really pathetic, as well as rude.

  282. It's fine for judges to have whatever religion, or lack thereof, they want. The problem comes when they base rulings on their religion, rather than the law.

  283.  @natashamudford4011  How does something, that stimulates the immune system, lower immunity? What you wrote makes no sense at all. Perhaps you should take a university level course in immunology. I have.
    14
  284. Thank you for this, if a bit late. I live in Portland, and in the 2020 election I had terrible choices on the ballot. Often the Democratic candidate was a racist woke idiot, and the Republican candidate was a Q freak. Faced with a choice between two evils, I wrote in one of my daughters, or my son-in-law, as a protest vote. My family is now trying to get that son-in-law to run for some office, any office, to get a sane person on one of our many elected committees. This plague of homeless people, bussed in from red states, who have taken over our parks, has him up in arms. He is very personable and charming, and as a black man, who is a self-made successful business owner, employs many Hispanics, and is married to a Jewish woman, the "progressives" won't be able to cancel him when he speaks common sense.
    14
  285. We need to build a wall to keep illegals coming through Florida, right through Mara Lago.

  287.  @tstocker6926  Nuclear power is green. Sad they don't see that.
    14
  288. How rural people can embrace an entitled brat, who has never mucked out a stall, killed a chicken, or even ridden a horse once in his life, is beyond me. He is the ultimate city slicker, and wouldn't last one day, without others taking care of him.
    14
  289. They are cowards, terrified of being primaried.

  290. A lot of the doctors and nurses in Israel are Muslim, although most are Jewish. Jews save the lives of Muslims, and Muslims save the lives of Jews, all the time. This is how it should be.

  291.  @jaymass1178  At the end of WW II, the USSR (Russia) absorbed all of Eastern Europe, and half of Germany. Just because something happened before you were born, doesn't mean it never happened.

  292.  @pamdeshane1289  Science should be driven by what is factual, not by what is political. When politics drive science it becomes corrupted. Don't denigrate this man because he is not as corrupt as the orange tyrant you worship.
    14
  293. This is not a court trial, it is a job interview. Innocent until guilty does not apply. He has to prove he is worthy of this lifetime appointment.
    13
  294. Why do you accuse him of not speaking out? Don't you remember him angry about the Jan. 6th insurrection, then voting to impeach and remove Trump? The man is a real patriot and conservative, and still keeps the principles held by the GOP, before Trump corrupted it.
    13
  295. Is it any wonder that one of Rand Paul's neighbors beat him up. In Hebrew, there is an expression that translates to 'a face that asks to be punched'. Paul has such a face.
    13
  296. What is really disgusting is, not just he would do something so reprehensible, but there are rubes who support his evil.
    13
  297. If it wasn't overnight, then they had obtained them before Feinstein brought the letter to the FBI. Why would they prepare for an allegation of something that hadn't happened? The only way they would have needed to get those signatures, was if the attack actually occurred. In other words, only a guilty man prepares an alibi ahead of time.
    13
  298. Many were against the war, from the beginning. Somehow, they just disappeared, or if they had any power, fell out of windows.

  299. It could be the act of a hostile foreign state.

  300. And if SCOTUS hadn't stop the count, we'd have found out he actually won.
    13
  301. I got the Pfizer, and had a myriad of nasty side effects, pain at injection site, chills, fever, joint pain, a swollen lymph node, and crushing fatigue. Most symptoms passed in a day. All in all, it was well worth it to be immune. You'd have to be a real pansy to be scared away from the vaccines by what I experienced, and my symptoms were much more severe than anything my daughters, or most people, experienced. I know that I have a hyperreactive immune system, so was prepared for feeling bad, and had stocked my fridge with soups and other fluids. I'd much rather have a day of nasty flu like symptoms, than be on a ventilator or die. And, not being a selfish jerk, I don't want to infect my little grandson.
    13
  302. Yes, they don't say they were inside signed envelopes, just that they found "Trump ballots". For all we know, they could just be plants by a Trump supporter.
    13
  303. When I was a young programmer, working for a bank, we had to check out modules, in order to change the code. You had to write external and internal specifications, and in those specifications, note which modules you'd need access to. Whenever you checked out a module, you had to note the SR# or TR# (service request or trouble report), and the external specs needed to state a need for that module, and have been approved. As I was working in Realtime programming, I could only access assembly language modules. Programmers, writing COBOL, were not allowed access to our modules. Sure, we all had specific security clearances, but we also had to demonstrate a need for each module. Of course, there was all sorts of regression testing, before we could check the modified module back in. But, the main thing was, access was specific to need. Even the security guys were not allowed to touch our code, because they were not qualified to understand assembly language. When I was working on communication protocol changes, I could only access the input and output modules, of other departments. If this guy was only maintaining IT, why was he given access to areas that didn't have written trouble reports?
    13
  304.  @dannyp1439  No, you're wrong. A cybersecurity firm was hired, while Obama was president, to make sure the White House LAN was not being hacked or manipulated by hostile foreign actors. That security firm used the same lawyer Clinton has hired. That's it. It takes an overactive imagination, and a lot of animus, to turn that into she paid "a tech company to spy on trump". I've hired a lawyer, but have no idea who else he has represented. There was nothing suspicious about what the cybersecurity firm did, nor are they connected to the Clintons.
    13
  305.  @James-to7pi  Not always. I was offered a full ride to an Ivy League university, because my maiden name wasn't obviously Jewish. But, when they asked me which dining hall I wanted, and I requested the kosher one, they withdrew the scholarship offer.
    13
  306.  @pneumonoultramicroscopicsi8821  If you cuss in school, fine. But, this happened outside of school, so the school should have no concern.
    13
  307. A family making $150,000 a year is hardly poor. I saved for my kid's college, and they worked part time. I paid for their education, and shouldn't have to pay for your kid's education.

  308. Interesting dance of two experts, she deftly asks excellent questions, and he deftly speaks many words, without informing us of anything, or making any commitment.

  309. Some idiots say this virus was designed. They're wrong. But, sometimes it feels it was created to take out the very idiots who deny it's virulence.
    13
  310. We know Trump will cheat, we may not know how, but we know he will try. And Putin will help him. Even if Biden wins, but not by a significant margin, Trump will falsely claim fraud. So vote, don't make excuses, make your voice heard. Biden has to win by a landslide, so Trump cannot contest the election results.
    13
  311.  @sleepyjoe7843  No, those were Soviet era Ukrainian munitions.
    13
  312.  @Gymnopediea  So, you think girls can't be attractive, because boys can't control their urges? This is the same sort of logic that makes certain men cover their women from head to to, even in hot climates. This is the same stupidity, that in my religion, is used as a reason women are not allowed to read the Torah, because men would be roused to lust by the sound of their voices. I suggest that any male, incapable of self control, be forced to wear a constricting chastity belt, rather than force young women to dress like grannies.
    13
  313. It hasn't changed its target, it is a virus, not a thinking living being. What has happened is, through many cycles of viral replication, more contagious and deadly mutations have arisen. The older, vaccinated population is not presently at risk, but the unvaccinated are at greater risk, from these variants. The variants have a greater R value, they infect better, so they replicate better. There is not intelligence involved, just evolution in action. The danger lies in the fact that variants can arise, that vaccination can't prevent. Stop the replication, get vaccinated now.
    13
  314.  @sandiharris5906  Here in Oregon, we've been 100% vote by mail for over two decades, with no problems. There is nothing evil about making it easier for citizens to cast their votes.

  315. Better yet, teach them it is their own fault . Teach them how to be less creepy and more attractive.
    13
  316. To put it in a way even discorperted can understand. The majority of illegal trafficking victims do not come over the southern border, say 80%. Of that small subset that do come over the southern border, only 25% are cross somewhere a wall might help, which would be 5%. And since none of this 5% are brought over in Trump's bondage scenario, his rationale is bogus.
    13
  317. Ignore the peanut section. You're correct about her. The only sadness I feel, when listening to her speak, is the feeling of loss, that this brilliant woman lost to the most corrupt, most ignorant, most boorish, least effective possible president.
    13
  318.  @BH-xp8ic  Causing unneeded suffering, as these backwards laws do, is cruel.
    13
  319. Only because the law prevented Putin from staying in power. Medvedev was Putin's puppet. Then Putin got the laws changed, so he could stay the leader forever.
    13
  320.  @Tactical-Black  Every time an unvaccinated person gets infected, the virus has many chances to replicate. Being a single strand RNA virus, coronavirus mutates easily. One mutation, out of Manaus, Brazil, can infect those who had immunity, either from previous infection or vaccination. By being a selfish twerp, and not being vaccinated, you can give rise to a mutation that will infect the vaccinated. The more selfish idiots, running around, serving as human incubators, the greater the chance this will happen. Whether you like it or not, you are part of a community. And your selfishness puts everyone at risk.
    13
  321. She uses a name people can pronounce without a struggle. As someone with a difficult maiden name, I totally understand it.
    13
  322. At least Israel only targets military targets, Hamas has been shelling civilians constantly, and burning the fields and forests for months. But, of course, all the Arab attacks are never reported here, just the justified response.
    13
  323. Covid is somewhat different than Influenza. The main difference is, those contagious with flu have symptoms. So they know to stay home, and not infect other. Covid-19 is most transmissible in the five days prior to symptoms so it is much harder to avoid infecting others. And that presymptomatic transmission is the very reason that this virus has become a pandemic.
    13
  324.  @BryanM86  He wasn't explaining, he was purposely running out her time.
    13
  325.  @ninja7763  You'll have your chance to elect someone else in two years. We suffered four years of the orange would-be president-for-life. You can put up with Biden.
    13
  326. Except those jobs you credit Trump with are the result of Obama's policies. I wasn't that fond of Obama, but at least he wasn't as scandal ridden as Trump. Oh, and he seemed to understand what the job of president required. Trump is clueless.
    13
  327. Then you eliminate the pandemic response team.
    13
  328.  @xuimod  I came from a crap rural school, and the highest math we had was trig. I had to teach myself calculus, so I could survive at a top university. And later, taught myself math theory, to deal with grad school. My school had decided, that since most kids couldn't understand calculus, they wouldn't teach it, which put me at a disadvantage when competing with kids from large cities. All high schools should be required to teach calculus, but pure calculus, not muddied up with BS sociology.
    13
  329. Cannabis got me through chemo, without ending up addicted to opiates. I kept the opiates, my oncologist kept prescribing me, as a suicide stash. But, because of cannabis, did not need to resort to using that stash. When my torture was over, I flushed all those oxycontin pill down the toilet.
    12
  330. Passing out sweets and celebrating. Glad she's gone.

  332. So, how was he allowed to have a gun?
    12
  333.  @crispinfornoff206  There are several members of his staff, who have attested to having told him he could not just take documents. But he did it anyway. And someone, with brain as big as he claims he has, would know enough to ask, "How do I declassify documents?" Only a total cretin would assume he could just "think" them declassified.
    12
  334. He was a small child in school, and often beaten up. That is why he took up judo. He is still overcompensating for his diminutive size.

  335. It's Handmaid's Tale time. All good people are thinking of leaving the Republic of Gilead where women don't matter.
    12
  336.  @douglascaceres6988  Nobody said Trump was a dictator. He was a would-be dictator, and failed at that. And he kowtowed to dictators, like Putin, Kim and Erdogan, in a truly unctuous fashion.
    12
  337. Who would have predicted the GOP's total loss of morality. They impeached Clinton for a bj, yet Trump's violation of several laws matters not to them.
    12
  338. The ships that get through are the actual tragedy, not this.

  339. I always thought he looked like a second rate gym coach, then I found out he was.
    12
  340.  @kurtwinslow2670  Once upon a time, when most of the information we got was in books and periodicals, only accredited voices were printed. It was easy to tell a textbook, from a vanity press book, and weight the importance accordingly. Now, any idiot with a crazy notion can publish their ideas as easily as a bonafide expert. Sure, nutcases could spout out their insanity, on a street corner, but we knew they were nuts. Often today, the most entertaining or provocative voice gets more attention, than a real expert. And that is even more dangerous, than not publishing every lunatic with something to say.
    12
  341. If she had announced this, before the Georgia runoff, it would have meant Republican voters would have known, that control of the Senate rested on the outcome. That would have encouraged more votes for Walker, and he probably would have won. By waiting until after Warnock won, she helped him win. That seems like a very good motive to me.
    12
  342.  @elmosweed4985  How is administering first aid like any sort of theft? Twice you've posted a slanderous lie. Rittenhouse was not stealing anything, the men who attacked him were.

  345. Either from the virus, or the immune response it evokes. This virus stimulates all kinds of inflammatory signals, while suppressing interferon, so makes the immune system run amok.

    12
  349.  @dzonikg  Have you forgotten the UK assisted the US in the middle east? If an American said they were a war veteran, you wouldn't question it. It's the same with a Brit, as they have fought alongside us in Iraq and Afghanistan.

  350. OH, so that is his excuse for all the lies now, he constantly forgot the truth?
    12
  351. My father used to call obstructive people like him stupid stubborn . It fits Trump to a "t".
    12
  352. Perhaps because his foreign policy was so terrible. I'm not saying Trump wasn't worse, but he was really horrible, all talk and the only action was bad.
    12
  353. So what do you want? Do you want Garland to act in an openly partisan manner, as Barr did? Do you want him to talk about an ongoing investigation, where nobody has been charged, as Comey did? Garland is behaving as he should, staying silent until indictments are made, not issuing blustery threats about who is being investigated. He is restoring faith in the justice system by being a faithful, nonpartisan, quiet servant of the people. What you are crying for is vengeance, not justice.

  355.  @Sundae_Times  Once an infectious disease has been around for a while, you can't determine R0. Host behavior has a lot more to do with the number of infections, than infectivity.

  356. Thank you, Chris Krebs, for pointing out how important changing the Electoral Count Act is. It will not matter who we vote for, if the legislature can send whatever slate of electors they desire. Revising that law should be our number one priority.
    12
  357. I remember his confirmation hearing, and felt then that he did not have the moral character to become a justice. What an insult to Thurgood Marshall's memory.

  360. @Tacitus 01 Then why did the Democratically controlled House pass needed legislation right away, while McConnell the Senate go home, and stalled for several months?
    12
  361.  @albaptiste8691  Got anything but well debunked lies?
    12
  362. Nah, this was just an angry man. He liked shooting things. He was angry about his divorce and the required child support. His wages were being garnished, because he'd run up credit card debt. This is just a guy, who wanted to commit suicide, but also wanted to take others with him.
    12
  363. Trump shared the stage with nobody today. It was solid stupid rants and lies.
    12
  364. Why are the presenters still pretending these people are Haitian? Haitians speak French and Creole. Every person they interviewed speaks only Spanish. Someone must think, with the recent disasters in Haiti, that falsely claiming to be Haitian will garner more sympathy.

  367.  @mdmoore23  Since the signatures are verified before the ballot is removed from the envelope, and then the two are separated so that a person's vote remains secret, what is your remedy? Search through all the envelopes, and if you find one signature you don't like, toss out the entire precinct's ballots? You are complaining the impossible did not happen. Your remedy is unjust. Your complaint is not reasonable. And that is exactly what all our courts have found.
    12
  368. I watched it on CSPAN, but just muted it when they did the color reporting during the breaks. Without anyone telling me what to think, I saw evidence of a president breaking several laws. The amusing bit was when Sondland had finished answering Democratic questions, and Schiff turned it over to Nunes. Nunes just audibly gulped, doing his best impression of a frog that had swallowed a wasp. Schiff was far too kind, as he then called a break to give Nunes time to collect his thoughts. And Sondland turned to cameras with an enormous grin on his face. touche

  369.  @Retrostarscream  What did the LAPD have to do with that? Nothing!
    11
  370. He used the same stupid "She's not my type" defense, when Ms. Leeds accused him of groping her on a plane. Both victims are tall, leggy blondes, who were quite good looking when Trump assaulted them. This attitude, that women aren't attractive enough to rape, is really insulting.
    11
  371. AwesomeBlackDude, very well argued. The problem is, the people who care about the facts are already with us. And those who aren't with us are unmoved by facts. I live with a Trump supporter, and every time that I prove my point with facts, he deflects with some falsehood he heard of Fox. When I point out that he has gone off topic, he belittles me or shuts down. Trump supporters act like worshiping Trump is their religion; they operate on faith, not facts.
    11
  372. It is an excellent book, but rather frightening as it describes many democratic countries that become despotic. Our country is currently heading down the same path. Trump and the Republicans tick all the boxes. The only way we don't loose our democracy is if either enough Republicans put country over party, or we get a Democratic majority. It also deals with race, and how we previously kept our country democratic by sacrificing minorities.
    11
  373.  @Ace1King1  What I've noticed, in my long life, is the country fares better, especially economically, when a Democrat is president, but usually has better foreign policy under a Republican. Of course, Trump and Nixon were exceptions. Nixon was both excellent at foreign policy, and had very good domestic policy. Trump was terrible at everything he did, he jacked up the deficit, screwed up the environment, angered all our allies, and sucked up to totalitarian dictators.
    11
  374. Why? Trump started campaigning for reelection, the minute he took office.
    11
  375. The same can be said of almost everyone but Trump. There are better choices than Castro, like Warren. I'm not moved by charisma, but by numbers and reason.

  376. In 2008, the problem arose from home buyers, who could not pay their mortgage, not renters.

  377. The older ones seem to be safe. But, the new 737s are crashing for unknown reasons. There are reports that the autopilot cannot be overridden, even when humans note the planes are acting like their altitude sensors are off.

  378. A lot of the Vietnam era antiwar protesters were young men, of draft age, especially the ones with low numbers, from the draft lottery. Antiwar and fear of the draft go hand in hand.
    11
  379.  @waynehouser9932  Clinton corruption was constantly alleged, and despite massive efforts, never proven. Trump, on the other hand, seemed to break the law on a daily basis. It isn't Clinton who is being investigated, and soon will be charged, with tax evasion and illegally trying to change the result of an election. Have you heard the tape of him trying to coerce the Sec. of State of Georgia? The man operates like a mob boss, because his whole company is essentially a criminal enterprise.
    11
  380. Schiff will go down in history as one of our great patriotic orators.
    11
  381. The Republicans only care about the deficit when a Democrat is president.
    11
  382.  @lldavidbanks8701  Yes, Trump and his family are con artists, taking as much as they possibly can from dupes. But, those inaugural events were paid for with private donations, not tax money. Unlike all the secret service details, his family enjoys.
    11
  383. If a war begins, it is all Russia's fault. Putin is behaving just like Hitler did, gobbling up other countries. Appeasing a tyrant never works. The closest Iraqi analog, is when Saddam Hussein attacked Kuwait. Then the world came to Kuwait's aid, and drove the aggressive tyrant out. I hope we do the same for Ukraine. Because Putin won't stop with Ukraine. He'll complete his conquest of Georgia, and proceed to reconquer all the former Soviet states, despite their desires to remain free.
    11
  384. Perhaps, but did the local barista really need six years at a fancy private school, to fill coffee orders? I saved for my kids college, and they worked too. Why should I pay for some other brat to party for six or seven years, and end up with a worthless humanities degree?
    11
  385.  @theglobalistchannel1471  A bunch of former Hong Kong people, moving into Vancouver, is not Chinese troops. And, there are no tanks and troops in Mexico. It's true that China is looking for deep water ports, all along Latin American waters. But, that is more of a threat to fisheries, than a military threat.

  389. SHS boldly makes claims she knows to be false. She is asked a question, obfuscates, then claims "I've already answered that question." She doesn't take verbal beatings , but rather initiates them. She is hostile to the press, then acts wounded when the public is hostile to her in return. If she can't handle it, perhaps she should follow Spicer. Nobody forced to be a representative of a treasonous liar.
    11
  390. Maybe, you're scared because you've tried to take women's rights away, the right to privacy, the right to compete with other females only, and people don't like losing their rights to your lunacy.
    11
  391. Much of our modern advancements have come from pure science projects. You wouldn't have today's cell phones without the semiconductors developed for NASA. I agree that there should be socialized medicine. But that money would be better taken from subsidies from agri-giants and corporations. I'd much rather fund NASA and NIH than corn. Get rid of pork, not science.
    11
  392. Please look at her voting record. I applaud her patriotism, especially as so many Republicans appear to lack it. That still doesn't make me want a super conservative president.
    11
  393. Numbers don't tell the whole tale. Look how when Israel was invaded, by Arab countries, and outnumbered 11 to 1, Israel still prevailed and retook stolen territory. The US has well a well trained military, hardened by actual combat. The Chinese army has never fought anyone. And their technology is based upon Russian models, and look how poorly those fared against little Ukraine.
    11
  394. My daughters always teased me for growing rue. It is a rather ugly herb, with a noxious odor to its small yellow flowers. And they noted, of all the herbs I grew, it was the one I never used to cook or dye fiber with. They said, "It's ugly and smelly, and you won't let us eat it. Why grow it?" When they went through puberty, I told them why I grew this nasty herb, that it was an aborticide. They teased me even more, as there was no need for herbal aborticides. The day after Roe was overturned, my older daughter called me, and said she now understood why I always grew this nasty plant.
    11
  395.  @eggsbenedict2251  :Your comment shows your ignorance. A lot of women, seeking an abortion are married, already have children, and are using birth control which fails. They get an abortion because they, and their husband, cannot afford to properly care for another child. Regardless, as it is not your body, it is none of your concern whether or not sex occurs outside a marriage, or as part of a loving marital unit.

  398.  @tammystockley-loughlin7680  Well said sister. My child bearing days are long behind me, but when my daughters were babies, I always was well covered when nursing them. Even so, I had people act like I was doing something disgusting, feeding my baby. It should be female nipples that are allowed to be exposed, as they actually have a function, providing nourishment to our offspring. Men's nipples are just for fun, and are the ones that should be covered.
    11
  399.  Cadillac Kadafi  It's a stupid double standard, and should not be accepted. Since women actually have a use for their nipples, nursing babies, and men don't, it is women who should be able to walk around shirtless, not men.

  401. More power to you and your husband. I'm a straight grandmother, but never understood why it bothered people, if gay people got married. It takes nothing away from others. My guy wasn't sure about whether it was advisable, to grant gay people the same right to marry, that straight people have, until his daughter came out. She is now married, and she and her wife have a lovely baby girl. It just makes sense, that people in a committed relationship, be able to share and inherit property, be beneficiaries of insurance, and make critical decisions with their partner.
    11
  402. Yes, let's listen to what the man who misjudged Putin in 2012 (when debating Romney), 2014 (when Putin first invaded Ukraine), and 2015 (when Putin joined forces with al Assad in Syria) has to tell us about Putin. Putin hasn't changed, Obama has just finally realized he was wrong all along.
    11
  403. When I saw the title, I wondered if this took place in Lebanon, because this woman is not the first person, who took drastic steps to get their own money.
    11
  404. @tracey Stephens Really? So the bus, that drove many of the insurrectionist to DC wasn't organized ahead of time? The rally, where Trump told his supporters to march down to the capitol building and fight, was completely spontaneous? The rioters just happened to have all those weapons, shields and bear spray? The gallows, erected to 'hand Mike Pence', built itself with materials that just happened to be there? You mean all the memos and power point presentations, of exactly how the will of the people could be subverted, and Trump's numerous phone calls to pressure states to change results, wasn't coordinated? Just because the conspirators were ridiculous, doesn't mean they didn't conspire to keep Trump in power.

    11
  406. Let's hope Republican voters show the same rationality in 2022, that they did in 2020. Notice how many voted for Biden, then for Republican candidates on the rest of the ballot. That shows selectivity. Hopefully, they'll reject the Trump lickers.

  412. You're correct. This quack is an OD, not an MD.
    10
  413. If there is a case, supported by adequate evidence to convict, they should charge anyone, regardless of politics. But, unless there is an indictment, DOJ shouldn't discuss the case. If Comey had followed that simple rule, Trump probably would have never been president. Since there was not evidence of a crime, no member of DOJ, and that includes the FBI, should have ever have discussed the investigation of her emails. The only response given to questions should have been, "No comment."
    10
  414. Bill Maher is one of those suppressed voices. He was uninvited to Berkeley. He's hardly hateful. If you never hear the voices you don't agree with, your mind will never grow. Grow up, listen to those you don't agree with, then give a logical argument against them if you still disagree. Nobody ever was hurt by being open-minded.

  418. I'm terribly sorry, but Dana Rohrabacher was always known as being very pro-Russian. I still lived in LA when he was first elected, and there were jokes about him going from Reagan to Rubles. My mom, who lived in California until she died, joked about him being paid in rubles in the 1990s.
    10
  419. Nixon subsidized the cost of milk and bread, so families could eat, but the farmers still made a living. He also instituted the first socialized medicine, when he decided the federal government would pay for all renal dialysis. He got us out of the war in Viet Nam that JFK and LBJ got us into. He opened up relations with China and the USSR. I think he cared about the people because he was raised a Quaker. If he hadn't covered up that dirty trick with the plumbers, he could have gone down as a great president. What a tangled web ...

  420. It is super aggravating that, even in states where recreational cannabis is legal, employers still test for THC. Unless you are actually high at work, what you do, in your off time, should be none of your business. Sleeplessness makes you a far worse employee, than self medication at home.

  426. Israel isn't attacking the Syrian military, they have only bombed Hezbollah bases. Hezbollah is the terrorist branch of the Iranian army, which is dedicated to the destruction of Israel, and also Sunni Muslims. Israel does not allow the establishment of bases close enough to launch missiles on Israel. The question you might be asking is, why Bassar al-Assad wants Hezbollah in Syria? The answer is that his tribe is Shiite, whilst the Syrian population was mostly Sunni. He wanted to kill and drive out the Sunnis and replace them with Shiites. Israel has provided medical aid and food to the beleaguered Sunnis, but nobody reports on this altruism.

  430. Well before fossil fuel think tanks were pushing scientific uncertainty, the tobacco companies were doing the same. In fact, when oil and coal companies looked for ways to slow environmental regulation, they used the same consulting firms and tactics, that tobacco companies had employed for decades.

  431. My late father was a urologist. One of the times I remember him being most upset regarded an elderly patient, who had advanced prostate cancer. My father treated him, despite his case seeming hopeless, and got rid of all the cancer. Only for him to die of malnutrition half a year later, because his dentures fit so poorly. Medicare covered the cost of his cancer treatment, but not new dentures.

  432.  @James-to7pi  Yes. My next door neighbor is a Korean-American. Her husband has a typical English name. When her children applied for colleges, she told them to leave the race part blank, as she knew being half Asian would hurt them.

  434. Summers wasn't alone in predicting inflation. Anyone should have been able to predict that just distributing money, pushing more money into the system, while keeping interest rates near zero, would lead to inflation. It's not like there haven't been numerous precedents, countries that just printed money, that led to such serious inflation they had to switch to a new currency. But, instead of doing something to stave off more inflation, by raising the prime lending rate, many are talking about pumping even more money into the system, with an overly expensive bill that only helps parents of young children. Who will suffer from worsening inflation, the poor and those on a fixed income. And btw the reason it takes longer to take a flight, is not lagging infrastructure, but security theater. We didn't use to have to wait in long TSA lines.

  439.  @johncaputo5538  Fine, the OC should have written "would have run". The sentiment is still correct. Democratic policy focuses on helping people. Republican 'policy' focuses upon grievances, and owning the libs. And this is still a secular country. Why do you assume the OC's religion? And what would it matter?
    10
  440.  @eltorocal  Sure, states make their own laws. But conservative think tanks often provide them with boiler plate laws, so legislatures don't have to reinvent the wheel, or in this case voter suppression. This was also a common practice of the tobacco companies, oil companies, and other corporate lobbyists.

  443.  @tombradygoat1456  While the evidence may be circumstantial, it would probably convince a jury. He would have to answer a lot of questions, that I doubt he could, to be acquitted. If he were not the one who murdered her, how did he end up with all her possessions of value, van, phone, credit cards? Why didn't he let someone know where she was? If he didn't kill her, who else would have motive?

  449.  @nerakar6562  This obscene law doesn't prevent abortions at six month, but at six weeks, when most women don't even know they are pregnant. And equating a woman ending her pregnancy, which affects no human being but herself, with being permitted to infect others, because you were too stupid to get vaccinated, is absurd. Obviously, a group of mouth-breathing virus spreaders are hurting, and possibly killing, other human beings.
    10
  450.  @tannerg466  You think a fetus at six weeks has arms and legs? You know nothing about fetal development. At that phase, it is indistinguishable from a dog, bird, lizard or fish.

  451. 1. He is treating the country like his own private piggy bank, and he's breaking it to extract all its wealth and despoil its assets. 2. He is not doing the job. Many important government positions have not been filled, and the ones that are filled, are filled with larcenous incompetents. 3. He doesn't understand the role of government, nor exactly what the powers and responsibilities of the president are. Instead, he acts like a dictator who is not equal and answerable to the Congress or the courts. I could go on, but think this is enough. By the way, he has gone back on many of his promises. eg. Making big pharma charge US citizens drug prices the same as the rest of the developed world, or taking on the insurance industry.

  458. Of course it is the press's fault for letting the public know about Trump's treason, not Trump for being a traitor. If there is a civil war, it will because true patriots don't want a Russian dupe for president, and treasonous people defend the orange tyrant.

  462. Per FDA Fact Sheet: "About 54 percent, or $3.3 billion, of FDA’s budget is provided by federal budget authorization. The remaining 46 percent, or $2.8 billion, is paid for by industry user fees." You tried posting the same BS about the CDC previously, and were soundly debunked.

  465. Hu wasn't a critic of Xi's politics, but of his naked disregard for the rules.

It is a shame a tragedy, like yours, never comes to people's minds, when they discuss abortion. Every pregnant female should have the right to make her own decision, it should not be made by the state. My older daughter had two very difficult pregnancies, and while I love my grandsons, I support her decision to have no more. Her husband is going to have a vasectomy, so she need not fear another difficult pregnancy. But, not every woman has such a loving, and selfless husband, and should have the right to control their own body, if an unwanted pregnancy arises, or if (god forbid) they are in the position you found yourself in.

But, the fact my mom cared more about her hobbies, than me, did have a negative impact. If people have more children, than they can easily raise, it negatively affects them all. It is much better to terminate a pregnancy that would damage the family.

Most of the moral Republicans have deserted the party, over the last five years, and what is left is hardly conservative or patriotic. If their senators do not show fealty to Trump, they will primary them out of office. James Glassman, a former Republican bigwig, is advocating the formation of a new centrist party, to take up all the Republicans disgusted with Trumpism, and some of the Democrats disgusted with the far left. He points out that, when there are only two parties, the parties will constantly move to the extremes, but if there is a centrist third party, the other two parties will begin to recoalesce in the middle.

  554.  @debdenny7552  Sorry, but your memory of the Mueller Report is dead wrong. Mueller did say there was a lot of communication between Russia and Trump's campaign. But, since they used encrypted apps, that deleted messages when read, he could not find enough evidence to prove conspiracy. He said Russia and Trump did work together, but that Trump's team was too disorganized and chaotic to actually be a conspiracy, because that would take more planning. It was proven that Russia worked very hard, to get Trump elected, including hacking both parties, and then weaponizing data stolen from the DNA, adding false data, then having their stooge at Wikileaks publish it. They weaponized social media, with trolls constantly putting out false and derogatory stories about Clinton. Some of those Russian agents were charged. Why don't you remember that. And Mueller never said his report was being exaggerated, but that Barr had greatly downplayed, and lied about his conclusion. He never said Trump was exonerated, only that he could not charge Trump, so thought it wrong to state the obvious conclusion. (That he was guilty as sin.) He specifically stated Trump was not exonerated and did work with Russia. Democrats say "Russia" because without their evil manipulation of small minds, with outright lies, Trump would never have been elected.

Many hospitals and clinics are owned by the Catholic church, which never allowed abortions to be performed, even to save the life of the patient. The answer is to have the federal government pass a law, requiring every medical clinic or hospital, with an OBGYN, to provide abortions regardless of who owns the clinic. You're correct, it should be treated like any other medical procedure.

With rights come responsibility, and if you aren't responsible enough a citizen, to get vaccinated, the government has a right to force vaccination. That has already been decided by the Supreme Court, and never overturned. Jacobson v Massachusetts, 1905

  575. I was a 19 year old student, at UCLA, and a friend, who had done the dust jacket photography, for a bunch of science fiction writers, told me something big was about to drop. He said get cheap student tickets at Ackerman, and meet him in at a particular Westwood theater. The line already was over a block long, and I spotted a lot of sci fi writers and actors in the crowd. We got into the second showing, on that first day. As we were going in, I saw other sci fi celebs coming out, and they were bubbling. We were seated next to Larry Niven, who had saved seats for my friend. I saw Harlan Ellison and David Gerrold, in the row in front of us. The anticipation was palpable. Then the story began to scroll across the screen, and the audience began to clap. When the part showed, where the ship goes into hyperdrive, the entire audience gave a standing ovation. It was incredible! When we left the theater, the line was already wrapping three times around the block.

I think he purposely makes his accent stronger get support from his base, and make others underestimate how truly devious he is.

  594.  Ed Dursky  We all know that Trump didn't honor the draft, and is Putin's lap dog.

  595. You are as divorced from reality as Trump supporters. You do know that the Russians were helping your heroes. Stein even took money from Putin. Putin knew that Hillary was on to him, he helped anyone to keep her from being president.

  596. Sadly, this was exactly what women always faced, when they reported being raped. That's why so few do.

  597.  @swabby913  But, until the fetus is separated from the host, it isn't a living breathing human being. If you feel so strongly, then you have the right to continue the pregnancy in your own body. You should not have the right to tell others what to do with theirs.

  598.  @Madeviets  Like Trump's ties, hats, shirts, etc. aren't made in China, hypocrite!

  599. A lot of people didn't want to leave their pets to drown. "Local and state health and safety regulations do not permit the Red Cross to allow pets in disaster shelters." Most motels don't take pets either,. So, even if they could afford a motel, where would their dogs and cats stay? Show a little compassion for people who love their animals, and stop calling them stupid.

  603. I've met very few people, who are actually "anti-gun". Although, I know many people who are pro-regulation, so that criminals, and dangerously crazy people, don't have easy access to firearms. My son-in-law has a lot of guns, but he keeps them in a locked gun safe.

  606.  @jaranarm  Funny how many other developed countries have kids raised in broken homes, or by grandparents, without the constant mass shootings. Rather than treat children like prisoners, with barbed wire around the school, security doors, and armed guards, why not address the real problem, the ready availability of guns.

  607. Does it make you feel any better, realizing three million more voted for the woman, who would have been a competent president? Or does it just make you angry that the Electoral College saddled us with this conman?

  608. A lot of these "doctors" don't have medical licenses, to begin with, as they aren't medical doctors. They are osteopaths or chiropractors, in other words quacks.

  612. My uncle and aunt survived the camps. But, as a child, my parents never spoke of it. When Uncle Siegfried and Aunt Frieda visited us, in southern California, I notice Frieda wore long sleeves, despite the heat, and asked her why. She rolled up her sleeves, and showed me the tattoo, then broke into tears, and said I looked just like her daughter (who had died in the camps). My parents told me to never bother my New York relatives about their long sleeves again, it was too upsetting.

  617. California takes plenty of time to tally up the votes. Last election, the final results weren't in until 20 days after the election. Partly, this because over half of the people vote by mail and they accept any ballot that is postmarked in time. It's just they don't have corrupt Republicans breathing down their necks.

  621.  @blondie214  If you don't get vaccinated, you are a walking incubator, allowing the virus to replicate, and possibly giving rise to mutants that can evade vaccine immunity, like the P1 from Brazil. Your selfishness puts everyone, even those who got vaccinated, at risk. Man up, and get the vaccine.

  622. When I was young, unions were strong and American workers received a good living wage. Now, unions are weak, and people are struggling to get by with multiple part-time jobs. My daughter worked for UPS, and thought her Teamster Union dues were more than compensated for by the good wage and benefits she received. This decision will hurt working people, and is another example of how Gorsuch works against the American people and for corporations.

  623. Good luck Gov. Weld. Many of the sane Republicans have already left the party.

  624. I feel for him. He has admitted to himself that he soon will die. The commentator kept saying he has ceased treatment, which means chemotherapy. Chemo is less a treatment than it is a torture. Every day you feel the pain of parts of you dying. When there is no hope, mere tortured existence is not a desirable state. It is far more logical to accept one's death. May Sen. McCain's last days be enjoyable and pain free. He has always been a man of courage and honor. Go in peace.

  625. Got my ballot in my mailbox, filled it out, and returned it in the mail. I'm glad my state voted to go all vote by mail in 1998. (Well before Washington.)
    8
  626.  @orange_won  No, you can only vote once, you have to sign your ballot, and the envelop identifies who you are. As my state has been voting only by mail for 24 years, it clearly is fine.
    8
  627. Because both parties tend to nominate the craziest, most extreme candidates. An honest, clear headed pol, like Bolton is rejected by the party for asinine reasons, like he has a weird mustache. We got better candidates when the party put them up, without a primary, because the average US voter is callow and shallow.

  628. I don't think Johnson is lacking of intelligence, but rather a moral compass. In his bid for power, he cared little for the lies he told, or damage he caused his country.

  629.  @WSrambo187  I saw that report. She was the only occupant in car, yet kept on an N95 mask. When you are the only person in the car, you are not required to wear a mask. And the types of masks mandated are not N95 masks, which are difficult to put on properly, but simple cloth masks. She died, not from using a mask, but misusing a mask. If she had done as health official suggest, and left the N95 masks to those who use them correctly, she'd still be alive. Show some consideration for others, and wear a simple surgical mask when among other people.

  630.  @dissatisfiedmario  And Florida has such sparkling building regulations, that condo buildings fall into sink holes. Plus, you must not take care of your people very well. There has to be a reason that all the out-of-state plates, I see in Portland, come from Texas and Florida.

  631.  @bigpicturethinking5620  Probably because you give off creepy vibes, and don't trust you.

  635.  @mrb.5610  Not only had he won the popular vote, as had Hillary Clinton in 2016, but when they finished recounting the Florida ballots, he won that state, and thus the Electoral College. Jeb Bush and, the Brooks Bros. riot, really did steal that election. Despite knowing Gore had actually won, Democrats did not storm the capitol.

  638. @Renee Speece The Constitution is an aspirational document. The founding fathers knew that they were not perfect, so gave us a dynamic rule of law, not man. They started its improvements when they wrote the Bill of Rights, and it has continuing improving over time. No other nation has maintained a constitution as long as we have, its ability to evolve is its greatest strength. Only a fool would destroy it.

  639. Wish they had this available when I went through chemo. But the hair lost from the scalp is not the worst. They really need to address the loss of guard hairs around the eyes (eyelashes eye brows) and in the nose.

  640.  @donsims1941  While it's true some of his excesses were due to tax code, and the loopholes he used should be closed, he also engaged in outright fraud, in his tax filings. And the audit, that should have been done, would have exposed those crimes.

  644. He also constantly warned Trump against the actions he took.

  650. He only likes fake news. He calls true journalists both fake news and the enemy of the people. The only so-called news he likes is the Fox propaganda machine, which must call itself entertainment to avoid legal action for its false narratives. https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-media-is-enemy-of-the-american-people
    7
  651. Violent crime may or may not be on the rise, depending upon where you live. I know that in my city, shootings used to be rare, and now there is at least one every weekend. Our mayor (in Portland) has been allowing people to camp anywhere they want, and many of the people, living on our streets and in our parks, are mentally ill. Since most of them came from Texas, they are also armed, and shoot anyone who ventures too near their "home", even if that is on the sidewalk, or in someone's back yard. Many of them support themselves by stealing. Since any criminal, arrested by the police, was released the same day, the police became disheartened, and many quit. So now, when your car or mail is stolen, or home broken into, the police don't respond at all. We've had to install locking mailboxes, because theft is so bad. Everyone, who can afford it, is installing security systems. People are moving out, to the suburbs. Crime has destroyed our city's livability. But, because the police don't respond to calls, most crime isn't reported, and the crime stats don't reflect reality.

  655. Well, he was facing fraud charges, for selling fake works of art.

  656.  @williamh4172  Weird, there never has been a virus so studied, with so many scientific papers written about its means of infection, inflammatory response to it, genetics, antiviral effectiveness, and damage to the host. I too have a science degree, and since it is in microbiology, I'm more of an expert than a chemist. Tell me, how many experiments have you done on pathogens or immunology? I'm sure I did more than you, before I even graduated.
    7
  657. Giving birth is extremely traumatic, even if you want the child. Having to have the child of rape is very cruel torment, that nobody should have to endure. Abortion is only traumatic because religious zealots make women feel guilty for doing the most responsible action. Abortion is relief from trauma!
    7
  658.  @rafal2675  Are you really saying looking at the DNS lookup, to make sure no White House computer is communicating with a foreign adversary, is the same as just stealing boxes of documents? Really? The DNS lookup contains no secret or sensitive data. And the link to Hillary is that her foundation employed the same lawyer as the security firm. But, those boxes of documents contained many top secret and sensitive files. Why did Trump steal them? Was it to sell to Russia or China?

  659. Not the only systemic racism left. There are still plenty of jobs that discriminate, and hire less qualified candidates, based upon race. Look at the VP.
    7
  660.  @davemitchell6281  And when has appeasing a tyrant ever prevented a war? It worked so well when Chamberlain appeased Hitler, and he took the Sudetenland. Look at Putin's playbook. First he manufactures a false flag event, to prevent Chechnya obtaining independence. Just like Hitler blew up the Reichstag, as an excuse to declare martial law. Then, he grabbed some of Ukraine, and got his warm water port, and part of Georgia too. And, he used the same excuse Hitler did, a common language. Stand by, and watch without interceding, and soon he'll retake all of the former Soviet Union. And why stop with just East Germany, when he can take it all. Then he'll roll into Lapland and Sweden, then Denmark and Norway. And by the time the US gets over its isolationist tendencies, the war we'll have to fight will be much more expensive, in terms of US lives lost. Surely both world wars taught us something. We shouldn't repeat the same mistakes. We need to stand by our allies. They've stood by us.

  661. There were valid reasons, that the American Bar Assoc. said she was unqualified, when Trump nominated her to her position. A lack of knowledge was one of them.

  667.  @danielmanly4793  But, by overruling Roe v Wade, the unelected Supreme Court justices, three of who were nominated by a man who lost the popular vote by three million votes, took the right to choose a medical procedure, from the people who should make the decision.

  680. We used to have some campaign finance laws, that limited the amount any one individual or corporation could contribute to a candidate. But, in 2010, SCOTUS decided that money was speech, and therefore could not be limited. If you're upset with money in politics, you're upset with the Supreme Court.

  683. Peanut butter, jams and jellies came in glass jars with metal lids. Milk bottles used to be glass, with a paper lid. We used to get our fruits and veggies loose, or in a paper box with cellophane over it, today so many are in clamshells. ( I try to avoid buying things in clamshells, but it's nearly impossible. ) Cereal boxes used to have wax paper inner bags, not plastic. Cold cream and vasoline used to be in glass jars with metal lids. Toothpaste came in metal tubes, so did various ointments. Cocoa and spices came in metal tins. Motor oil came in metal tins, that you needed a special spout to pierce. Lunch boxes were metal. Thermoses were metal with a glass liner.
    7
  684. What exactly is history making? She's not the first female astronaut, that was the cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova, in 1963. She's not even the first non-white female astronaut. Judith Resnick, who is Jewish, went into space in 1984. Mae Jemison, who is black, went into space in 1992. Kalpana Chawla, who is an Indian-American, went into space in 1997. So what is so historical? Sure, most astronauts are male. This is not unique to space. When I got my first programming job, in 1981, there were very few female programmers. When I was in grad school, in the 1990s, in CS, I was usually the only female in my class. If you want more women in technical fields, education needs to change. While neither of my daughters were told, like I was when taking HS chemistry, that girls never do well in science, they were told math is hard from an early age. Fewer sexist teachers would be a bigger boon to women. There are very few astronauts, of either sex. Wouldn't encouraging and training more young women to be plumbers, electricians or finish carpenters, have a greater impact?

  691. Considering all Trump has done, since he was installed in the White House, does it really matter if he had Russian hookers piss on a bed? Trump's lack of ethics is well known now, we don't need further confirmation. The most important part of the dossier was that Trump was in cahoots with the Russians. If, after Putin admitted he wanted Trump elected, and Trump acted like an obsequious toady around Putin, plus all the connections our intelligence agencies found, only a willing fool thinks they weren't in cahoots.
    7
  692. Politicians have money, and will have their daughter whisked away to a state or country more enlightened. That was the way it was before Roe v Wade. Rich women, daughters and mistresses of rich men, never had to endure an unwanted pregnancy. Only poor women suffered.

  693. End the practice of using colleges as farm teams for pro sports. You end up with ignoramuses with degrees, and cheapen college diplomas. Scholarships should only be given to scholars. End sports 'scholarships', legacies and racial quotas (set-asides).

Any law, that imposes punishment, on women who've had abortions, will end up punishing women for miscarriages.

  707.  notably Iamnothehero  Trump had been blessed by a term with no real problems, not of his own making, he inherited a thriving economy and a relatively peaceful international situation. He worsened both, and drove up the deficit. He ruined alliances it had taken decades to build. And then he faced his first real challenge, a pandemic. And he has failed miserably! Just like he has done to the looming disaster of climate change, he put his head in the sand, and pretended it would go away. And, because of his incompetence, more Americans have died than did in WWII or Vietnam. He has also defiled the Constitution and the Rule of Law. He is the worst president this nation has ever endured, the most incompetent, corrupt, self serving, lazy, vain jerk to ever besmirch the Oval Office.

  712. Graham knows that the presumption of innocence does not apply in a Senate hearing. And his complaints that Democrats delayed is laughable considering how the GOP treated Merrick Garland. The "speeches" by the Democrats were just to call for an FBI investigation. Why don't the GOP want an impartial investigation, if Kavanaugh doesn't turn into a sexual Mr. Hyde when drunk?

  713. The spin doctor is brought out. Sounds like a lot of people are really upset about releasing an arms dealer, for someone who was stupid enough to bring cannabis to Russia, rather than the guy who is in jail for fabricated charges.

  719.  @supergogeta247  Where? Most states have their DMVs issue the IDs. Most DMVs are out in the sticks, and don't have any bus service to them. That means if you don't have a car, it's hard to get an ID.

  721.  @edwardbatista7920  First, delaying infections so that hospitals are not overwhelmed saves lives. Second, if the spread is slowed enough, it can be slowly eliminated from the population. Why do you think we no longer vaccinate for smallpox? The virus was eliminated from the world's population. If we can eliminate this virus, we can come out of quarantine and not face infection.

  722. It's worse, he called him a "Mexican judge", and said he couldn't "be fair". We all know that means 'look the other way', in Trump-speak.

  723.  Keith Hoss  How does that help the woman who dies in childbirth? The very places, that make abortion difficult, are the ones that have the worst maternal mortality rates. It is really sick that some people care more about something the size of a marble, that a living breathing human being.

  724.  @paperliger1199  Look at Manchin's voting record. He votes with his party far more often than he votes with Republicans. He's a decent centrist, who knows his state. If he voted any more left, they'd replace him with a Republican, yet reelect him, over and over.
    7
  725. Since Manafort helped get Yanukovych in power, in Ukraine, it was obvious where his loyalties lay. The very fact, that Trump employed this creature of corrupt oligarchs, should have been a tip off that he was a tool of Russia. Hillary had it right, when she said to Trump "At least I'm not Putin's puppet."

  726. FormlessGeometry Why do you idiots always talk about babies? In most abortions, there is no scull formed yet to be crushed. That's the fact, not your nonsense. It's a fetus a tiny little parasite. If the woman wants it to develop, eventually, fine. If not, it is none of your business if she has the non-sentient thing removed from her body. Only the religious nuts claim otherwise.

  727.  @MarkyMark2177  Conservatives don't want either Trump or DeSantis. Sadly, the Republican party is no longer conservative, it has become a nationalistic populist party, and its number one man loves himself a tyrannical dictator.
    7
  728.  @msi8311  Really? Are you one of those idiots who think a woman can't get pregnant when raped or coerced? As to a pregnancy not being an undue burden, women die in childbirth and from complications of pregnancy, all the time. And no woman's health is ever the same after giving birth. It is a sacrifice we make, to have children we want. Nobody should be forced to do it.
    7
  729. Really? McConnell guarantees that there won't be a fair trial, Pelosi holds out until there will be a fair trial, and he thinks Pelosi is being political? Why not hear all the witnesses to Trump's attempt to force Ukraine to mess with our elections? Nether Nixon or Clinton held back witnesses. What are Trump and his minions afraid of? Why not have a fair trial in the Senate?

  732. And because you said it, it makes it so. I've seen plenty of people use the bathroom that fits their equipment. Nobody with a penis, who is old enough he's out of diapers, should be in the women's room. If a guy is so committed to his delusion, that he has his member removed, fine. It still doesn't make him a woman, but at least he isn't a threat. I've had a bad experience with a guy, who pretended he was a woman, and kept coming into the women's room, and acting like a voyeur. It angered the women, and he was finally banned. Women deserve privacy.

  733. Most of the so called pro-life people are really just sick, twisted anti-sex perverts. They are wound up, upset by the idea that other people are having a better life than they are. So, they have to ruin other people's lives. They aren't pro-life, they are pro-misery.

  734. A decent candidate wouldn't be willing to push their lunacy. A decent human being would try to debunk their lies, not feed them. Think of how McCain pushed back at the woman who claimed Obama was a Kenyan Muslim. Of course these kooks latched onto an indecent person, like Trump.

  740. I was watching the second season of Servant of the People, and in it Zelensky's character said he looked forward to the day, that the whole world admires Ukraine, and "Slava Ukrania" is on everyone's lips. That dream has come true, but at such an enormous cost. We must help this courageous nation survive against the Russian bully.
    7
  741. Same here. I wasn't sure if I'd had Covid early in 2020, because I could not get tested, having been in Asia, but not China. I mostly got better, but was left with this lingering cough that prevented strenuous activity. A couple days after my first Pfizer shot, the cough cleared up, and never came back.

  743. Gerald Boxer: Riding a motorcycle is unhealthy, which is why they are often called donor-mobiles. Does that make it deviant? Further, where is your proof that homosexuality is unhealthy?

  746. You really hate the truth. Does it disrupt your world view?
    7
  747. People do that, if you look or sound different. My guy is Israeli, and people asked him all the time where he was from, and he'd say "Oregon", because that's where we lived. They'd persist, "But before that?" and he'd tell them "Maryland". "No, before that?" "California". Then frustrated, they'd ask him where he was born, and only then would he say "Yerushalyim". He thought it funny. To be upset, when a woman in her 90s, keeps asking where you're from, is overly sensitive. England has changed a lot, since her youth. Why not put it down to old age, rather than racism?

  754.  @KMMHL2012  What country were these children dropped from? It certainly wasn't Germany. It was Mexico. If they really were fleeing genocide, they would have sought asylum in Mexico. Mexico allowed these traffickers to traverse its length, and drop these children into the US. We are not invading Mexico, but they are allowing others to invade us.

  758. Kavanaugh perjured himself again. OK, some was on small matters, like the meaning of boofing. I remember friends who did this in the 80's so they could get drunk without calories. (Of course that is ridiculous, once in the bloodstream alcohol is metabolized.) Lying under oath, even on unimportant things like this, is still perjury. He has already been credibly accused of perjury in his previous confirmation. He continues to lie about his drinking in high school and college. He is untrustworthy, and unstable, and should not be confirmed.

  759.  @BigBadJerryRogers  Many minority groups thrive in the US, those who value education. Parents have to read to their children, and encourage their academic pursuits. You can't just turn on the TV, not read to your kids, then expect them to do well in school. AA has led to the deterioration of society. Ending this terrible practice will help heal the wounds it has caused. The next step is to take all competitive sports out of school. PE should consist of activities people can pursue alone, to maintain lifelong health benefits. Sports scholarships aren't given in other countries. That is why their colleges are more affordable, less money is wasted on sports.

  761.  @clintonkildepsteen3982  It would have happened. But first, Trump would have dumped NATO. And he would have continued to block sending military equipment to Ukraine. And the US would not have broadcast Russian troop movements, or cajoled EU leaders into helping Ukraine. So, the invasion would have succeeded after three days, like Putin had hoped.

  765. It is beyond disgusting that some expect that girls shouldn't go to parties because guys might assault them. Why is the onus of good behavior always carried on the shoulders of females? Teen girls want to have fun too. But, some entitled, drunken scumbag grinding on them is not a part of their expectations. Nor should it be. This sort of sick logic falls into the same gross bucket as the idea that women must be fully covered because men can't control their urges. Men and boys, if you can't control yourselves, stay away from others. Stay home, and let the good kids have fun without your repulsive behavior.
    7
  766. And why are apartments all owned by large corporations, because the little guy can no longer afford to buy, as a retirement investment. You never know went rents will be capped, like what happened throughout the pandemic. You never know how high your property taxes are. The little guy needs a steady income, and rental property no longer provides that.

  767. He's a Catholic, of course he followed their dogma, until he realized that nobody has the right to apply their religious beliefs, to other people's bodies. The whole idea, of holding people's past beliefs, or the beliefs of people in the past, up to the light of today's ethnics, is absurd.

  770.  @darkbendover  Poland is part of NATO. He probably planned to take all the non-NATO FSU countries, before he turned to Poland. Probably the countries Russia already occupies, Georgia and Moldova. Then, he'd take out the ever battling Armenia and Azerbaijan. Who are also non-NATO. Then all the Muslim FSUs.

  777. Yes, Covid can cause acute pancreatitis, which can cause a person to have diabetes. Years ago, my father had pancreatitis, which made him become a non-insulin dependent diabetic. He upped his exercise from cycling 2 hours/day cycling to 4 hours, and reduced his food intake. At 6' 2", he went from 185 lbs. to 160 lbs., and the diabetes vanished. Most people can't lose that much weight, and have to rely on medication. Even before the weight loss, he was not fat. To claim only gross people become diabetic is both false and disgusting.

I was working, as a computer programmer, for a national bank, when they decided to save money by using Chinese programmers, for a big communications platform switch. The code the Chinese programmers produced was utterly useless, and it had to be scrapped. Instead, they cut their losses, and hired a local consultant. They offered him one younger programmer, to help him, and he chose me. Together we did the work, that twenty Chinese programmers could not do in half a year, in three months.

  783.  @estimatingonediscoveringthree  No, it is about forcing women to endure a horrible condition for no good reason. A fetus is not a child or baby, but a parasite. And if you'd ever endured pregnancy, you wouldn't be so incredibly evil, as to force women to go through that horror.

  787.  @momof4kids735  No, what is revolting, is men suffer none of the agony or exhaustion, or risk of death, of pregnancy, yet think they have the right to take the decision to continue a pregnancy, or not, away from her. No woman is going to endure six or seven months of pregnancy, and suddenly decide to terminate. That only happens when fetus cannot live a normal life, or the mother will die.

  795. It's damned if you do, and damned if you don't. How many people complained, when the government deposited money into their bank accounts? The money was a good stopgap measure, to keep people afloat before vaccines were available. But, as economists have warned for years, pumping all that unsecured money into the system, made inflation worse. So, to deal with inflation, the government needs to stop giving out so much money, and raise the prime lending rate. But, I'm sure people will complain about that too.

  796.  @jaytaylor2312  I just looked it up, he has a 29% approval rating in the most recent polls. Not great. But, the reason cited, that it is so low, is he doesn't kiss the orange god-king's orange backside.

Super intelligent kids, kids with a learning disability or autism, kids with glasses, kids with funny clothes or names, etc. The meanness doesn't stop as people age, it just becomes more subtle. If you don't fit their mold, people can be very cruel. This won't change as it is human nature.

  802. @not libtard You clearly have not studied immunology in college. Vaccines introduce certain epitopes to the adaptive immune system, so it can develop T and B cell memory against those epitopes. That means, when you are infected with a pathogen, containing those epitopes, your immune system only needs a few days, not weeks, to roll out its big guns, killer T cells and antibodies. That difference in timing makes the difference between a mild infection and severe infection. And that is why we vaccinate.
    6
  803. I guess comprehension is not your forte. No expert claimed the vaccines prevent disease, they prevent severe disease, disability and death. Depending on one's age group, the unvaccinated are 10 to 14 times more likely to die, if infected, than the vaccinated. Vaccination is conducive towards longevity.

  804. A woman who is inebriated, by drugs or alcohol, cannot give consent. Thus any sex had with her is rape. So, any regrets the woman has are due to her being raped, the male's bad act, not her own.

  806. Other European nations stayed out of Hitler's invasion of Sudetenland, and the rest of Czechoslovakia. The US government provided war material to the UK.

  813. Back then, there was no way to determine what the antigenicity of any particular influenza strain was. All doctors had, to identify a flu strain with, was symptomology. So, we really don't know if it was the Spanish flu, H1N1 influenza, that kept reoccurring. The last time that type of influenza spread through the world was 2009. There were many deaths, but due to vaccination, the percentage of deaths was a lot lower than in 1918.

  816. Why do the political pundits seem more concerned with a loss of gay rights, that hasn't yet happened, to a loss of women's rights, that have?

Just because you can't understand specifically stating that there would never be an official government religion, is separation of church and state, doesn't change the fact that is what it is.

  845. If you'd heard his whole speech, he did say that, while there might have been a few irregularities, they were not enough to change the results of the election. Which is pretty much what Barr said.

  846. There have been so many studies, on that antiparasitical, and all demonstrate, not only does it not improve outcome, it actually worsens it. But, I doubt Lake could understand a scholarly journal paper.

  847. As to Mandela Barnes, this is on us Democrats. Wisconsin Democrats should have chosen any of the other candidates, in the primary, not this problematic man, with his tax evasion problem. Wisconsin is purple state, that leans a bit red. Barnes, a "progressive" supported by Sanders and the squad, is a very bad fit. At this moment, the trial of a murderous black supremacist, who drove over the Dancing Grannies in a parade, and killed many, is taking place. This evil man was let out on a mere $1K bail, after attempting to kill his baby mama, by running her over. If not for that low bail, five people would still be alive today, and a couple of dozen would not be dealing with permanent injury. We have to be more strategic in our voting, and chose candidates who stand a snowball's chance of winning.

  849.  @smokerise  The idea of not allowing someone to run, if they have been arrested, sounds great until you think it through. That means the police could arrest anyone they dislike, and knock them out of the running. That is the sort of thing autocrats do. Have not many civil rights leaders been arrested? Should that bar them from public office?

  850. In the 1970s, my family was friends with the minority whip of the California state house. She complained that the party (GOP) was always trying to pressure her, to vote a certain way, but she voted with her constituents' needs in mind. They had plenty of blackmail (mostly sex photos) to keep the males in line, but as she was a straight arrow, they had nothing on her. If the Republicans kept compromising evidence in the 1970s, do you think they stopped in this century? Remember, Russia hacked both the DNC and RNC, but only released DNC data. What happened to the RNC data? I bet Putin gave it to his puppet.

  852. I'm sorry, but Nixon was nowhere near as corrupt as this president. He appointed qualified people to his cabinet, not cronies determined to destroy the department they oversee. He actually tried to help the little people, by making food staples more affordable, while Trump and his Congress work to hurt the poor and further enrich the ultra-wealthy. And the thing he tried to cover up was a little burglary, not requesting and accepting help from a foreign (hostile) power to gain the presidency. Trump even met with representatives of that power, kicking Americans out of the Oval, and shared secrets he should not have. Further, Nixon got us out of an unwinnable war, while Trump seems determined to start a war by antagonizing foreign leaders. (With the exception of his master.)

  853.  @unaffiliated0437  You don't know that. Most Democrats are moderates, and most of us want legal migration, where everyone waits their turn and enters the country legally. I'm also a registered Democrat, but differentiate between legitimate asylum seekers, who come from war torn countries or face persecution for the ethnicity or religion, and economic migrates illegally stealing into the country.

  854.  @mikeb5664  He only needs 218 votes if all Representatives are present, and none abstain. eg. if all twenty Republicans, who voted for Donalds, abstained or went home, the number of votes needed would be 208, and Jeffries would be Speaker.

  857. Ms. West, You really brought all the cockroaches out. They don't understand that their religious beliefs have nothing to do with reality or someone else's body. Don't worry. The west coast has always been saner than the bible belt. There will still be safe abortions available here. It is truly sad that the women who often can least afford another child will have the hardest time getting to a place where reason prevails.

I lost my optimism when my Trump loving boyfriend read the Mueller Report, and said there were clearly no obstruction counts. He has a PhD in biochemistry, yet acts like he totally ignorant. He only listens to Fox, which is draining away his intelligence.

  864. It was less that people laughed, but when Putin made his announcement there had been no clinical trials for Sputnik, while other vaccines were already in phase III. Also, Sputnik was announced less than a month after other researchers found their data had been hacked, and it was a total clone of one of those vaccines.

  866. Well put. It is disgusting that status in most schools is based upon athletic prowess, not academic achievement. PE in schools should be activities that a person can do without a team. That would produce fitter adults, than the current couch quarterbacks. Universities and colleges should not be farm teams for professional sports. The money that is pissed away on fancy gyms and arenas, would be better spent on science labs and computers.

  870.  @Gil7111TX  The measure of how great our country is, is not how much firepower we have, but how well our citizens live. People are dying because idiots get a hold of guns. People are dying because the cannot get decent medical care. That's not great.

  873. Nixon didn't resign because of the break-in, even McGovern admitted that Democrats pulled similar dirty tricks. It was the cover-up that got his AG tossed in jail, and made Republican leaders ask him to resign. Trump commits his crimes in the open, and brags about them, that is why he gets away with them. And he doesn't just make Nixon look like a stable saint, he makes Harding look honest, and Reagan of right mind.

  875.  @knolsey  Have you gotten the vaccines? I had long Covid from an infection in March 2020, and didn't feel normal again until I got vaccinated. Sometimes, even when you think you've completely licked the virus, there are reservoirs in your eyes or testes (if male). It doesn't work for everyone, but getting vaccinated does get rid of long Covid, in some.

  880.  @lynefrances726  True, he fired anyone with any morality, who was not willing to be a lickspittle toadie. He is not a true Republican, because they are patriotic and conservative, but rather the ultimate grifter, pulling the world's greatest con on delusional idiots.
    6
  881.  @lynefrances726  Trump's response to the bill, that would have given Americans a little money, was to leave town. He did not veto the bill, so his veto could be overridden, he just left. So Congress will have to wait ten days before voting again. That means there will be no money for many people by Christmas. It is not a holiday I celebrate, but I have compassion for the children who will go without food and/or shelter, let alone presents, because of his selfish actions. He pretended to care, then showed he did not, like the lying conman he is.

  882. Sure, it can sometimes cover the entire torso, but it more commonly appears on hands and face. Anyone vaccinated against smallpox, should be immune, as they are closely related. Thus, people over 40, and those with military service, should be immune. Cidofovir and Brincidofovir work to treat monkeypox in NHP, so should be effective.

  885.  parklee manquist  Except studies of this particular virus shows it dies very quickly, and fomites are not a major form of transmission, droplets are. Of course we should all continue to wash our hand, especially before preparing food, eating or touching eyes, mouth or nose. But, the best way to prevent this disease is by everyone wearing a mask when among other people. It does not take the viral load you claim for infection, one virus is sufficient. Where did you study epidemiology? You clearly are ignorant of the subject. I studied at UCLA under Telford H Work.

But, also thing the 'progressives' should leave the Democratic party, and leave the sane moderates, who are 89% of the party, in peace, without having to deal with their woke stupidity and identity politics.

  891.  @mrm2746  The US has bases in Germany, but none of the eastern European countries. Sure, due to Putin's constant aggression, we've sent troops to our NATO allies most in Putin's crosshairs, but we have no bases there. If the US has no bases in Poland or Estonia, why do you assume we'd put bases in Ukraine? Your entire argument is a red herring. And, Putin has put bases in all the territory he has conquered. Russia is illegally occupying parts of Moldova, Georgia and Ukraine, and has military bases in all that stolen land.

  892. She was assaulting passer-bys, and the cops did nothing about it. She should have been arrested, then he wouldn't have had to take matters into his own hands. There is a social contract with the police, they deal with criminals, including the criminally insane, and we don't act like vigilantes. By not removing this insane, abusive pest, who was assaulting his would-be customers, the police abrogated that compact.

  900. Only half of illegal aliens come over the southern border. A wall will do nothing to stop the ones who overstay their visa. Illegals come here to make money. Punish those who hire them with heavy fines, and they won't be able to work. But Congress will never pass such laws because they, and their rich donors, like having cheap labor that is afraid to complain about labor violations.

  902. If the officer, forced to deal with this repeat offender, is removed from his job, or if he is charged, I hope the voters vote those responsible out of office. If the criminal's understanding of English was so poor, that he did not understand "Stay in the car', he should not have been driving. And after several previous arrests, he should have known driving a stolen car was problematic. There is no excuse for failing to comply with the officers requests, running, fighting with the officer, or taking his taser. Anyone, of any color or nationality, would have been shot for such unlawful, dangerous behavior.

  905. Because my family always had a small aircraft, I flew a lot as a child. When we hit turbulence, I couldn't read, so usually took a nap. This happened enough, that whenever I experience turbulence, I fall asleep. (Not so great if one is responsible for navigation.) Once I was on a small commercial twin prop plane, in Mexico, and we hit some rather stiff turbulence, so I fell promptly asleep. I awoke when we landed, and all the other passengers were angry at me. I asked my husband why, and he told me I was the only one that wasn't violently vomiting, and that annoyed them.

  908. We shut down our schools in Oregon, because teachers and aides were getting sick. At first, we weren't sure where the contacts were, then realized it was asymptomatic children. If children and staff wore masks, and class size was no larger than 25, we might consider reopening in the autumn. But, class sizes today are just too large to be safe, and Oregon only requires mask wearing from those 12 and older.

  911.  @LadyLithias  Honey my BA was in microbiology, (UCLA) grad school was computers (OGI). So I understand statistics, virology, immunology and epidemiology. And the possibility that A or B could be true are infinitesimal. The problem is, there are too many people who are too painfully stupid to study or understand the disciplines that we have. (And of course, it must irk them that here are two women with far superior intellects.) But, they think their truth has as much value, as that of an expert. So, they could just accept what those, with far more knowledge, tell them to do, or use a little common sense, and note that those Asian countries, that routinely wear masks when ill, had far worse Covid outbreaks than in the Americas or Europe. But, their hyperinflated egos cannot accept that the nerds, they harassed in high school, actually have more valuable opinions than theirs. So, they pound their chests, and make claims of rights, they do not possess, and denigrate the judgement, of experts.

  912. Lots of people are bullied. Every genius I know was bullied in school. Yet none of us kill those who bullied us. And the poor girl had tried constantly to get him to stop hounding her. He didn't. That is not leading someone on. Why do guys think they have the right to anyone they fancy? The problem lies in misogyny. Males need to know, down to their very core, that women have feelings and rights, just like them. That a female can say no, without repercussion. If she doesn't want you, look somewhere else.
    6
  913.  @afridgetoofar1818  Putin only invades countries not controlled by his puppets. Look how he didn't mind Ukraine being its own country, as long as one of his oligarch puppets was in power. But, when the Maidan protests ousted Yanukovych, he invaded Crimea and Donbas. As long as he had his useful idiot in the White House, who obliged his whims, believed him over US intelligence, and was busy weakening NATO, he didn't want to make waves. Trump was voted out, and once again, he invaded Ukraine.

  918. He represents nobody but his own wallet. Look at his voting record, look at what bills he has proposed. He has done nothing but rename a few post offices. And, just like Trump, his talk is cheap. Now he says he wants money for the people, after the bill has already passed. Where was he in May, when Pelosi was trying to get the Hero's Act before the Senate?
    6
  919. The problem is he repetitively gave a false reason to attack the count, but stopped short of actually saying "Attack!". Michael Cohen is correct, he gives directives like a mob boss. Gee, X is causing us problems. It would be real nice if X had and accident. So, he told his problem to his cult followers, Pence wouldn't stop the count, directed them towards Congress, and let them loose. He didn't directly tell them to mob the Capitol, but sure insinuated that he'd like it.

    6
  946.  @cobestreets2871  Life and human life are not synonymous. By the way, if you invoke the Holocaust, you have to respect the Jewish determination of when a fetus becomes a baby, and that is when set either when the woman is about to give birth and has crowned, or after the first breath is taken. The soul enters the body with the first breath, so before then, the fetus is not human. Rabbis determined, long before your religion even existed, that abortion is permitted.

You are mulling over problems, and finding solutions, as you go for a walk, or take an exercise class, brush your teeth, etc. I solved a problem, that I was told couldn't be solved, in 1984, while working for Wordplex Ltd., in my sleep. I woke up knowing how to make a robust network, which could operate on half duplex lines, without collisions, that later became know as a token ring. My nomenclature wasn't elegant, but my algorithm and code were.

  956. Those with socialistic, or communistic, ideologies have always shown a propensity, for overlooking how brutal, imperialist and authoritarian communist countries are. Look at how Sanders returned from the USSR, and overlooked the oppression of the people, breadlines, and cronyism. He said what a great country the USSR was, and also praised Castro, Chavez and the Sandinistas. Lula is no different, and still holds the USSR in his heart, despite it now being Russia, or how many atrocities they commit. He is the sort of person who wants to convert everyone to his communist viewpoint. And if lies and coercion fail, he'll resort to force. Why would he not support Putin doing the same.

  957. The problem with reporting on Trump is, he generates a flurry of outrages all the time. Each outrage is quickly replaced by the next, in the public's mind. Yes, the press, and many Republicans, were outraged by each incident you name. But, over time, Trump's abhorrent behavior has winnowed out most of the moral Republicans. They left for organizations like the Lincoln Project and the Bulwark, or just gradually faded out, and left the party. There are now very few Republicans left, who are troubled by his ignorance, racism, lack of patriotism, and his nasty demeanor.

But, in some states, but certainly not most states, mail in votes aren't even processed until the polls close. It was the later states where Trump was ahead by a mile, until the mail in votes were tallied. Here is a table of when mail in ballots can be processed, verified, and counted: https://www.ncsl.org/research/elections-and-campaigns/vopp-table-16-when-absentee-mail-ballot-processing-and-counting-can-begin.aspx

Surgeons and OR nurses have always worn masks, to prevent contaminating the operating theater, because they prevent the spread of germs.

  974. It was published in Nature Medicine and called "The artificial sweetener erythritol and cardiovascular event risk". I just looked at it, and it seemed sketchy at best. It consists of two parts, an overall survey of people who consumed stevia, with a decent sample size, that showed a correlation between cardiac incidents and stevia consumption. They looked at people who had had heart attacks and strokes, and saw a good number consumed stevia. They did not see if healthy people also consumed stevia, and stayed healthy. They did one study with healthy people, but only 8 of them, and saw elevated erythritol levels somewhat correlated to higher platelet activity. But, a sample size of 8, where 5 people showed higher platelets, really isn't conclusive.

The failure of these vaccines is due to the huge number of self centered idiots, who refuse to get vaccinated, and thus prevent herd immunity.

  997. A country cutting down forests, to feed its increasing population is suffering from their own shortsightedness and religion. Forty percent of Pakistani girls are married before age 18, despite a law forbidding this. That leads to overly large families and poverty. Pakistan is a Muslim country. If you look at the countries suffering from food shortage and poverty, most are either majority Muslim or Catholic, religions that forbid birth control. Pakistan's problems will not cease, no matter what the US or Europe do, until all girls are educated, and the status of women is raised.

The word for soul, power, wind and breath are all the same, ruach. In fact, if a pregnant woman is being put to death, for a crime, the pregnancy is supposed to be terminated first, so she does not "embarrass herself". You can live by your death cult, but cannot impose your religious beliefs on others.

  1019. Walker says he wrote this woman a check, because she is the mother of his child. But, doesn't the check predate the birth of that child? I might have missed something, but isn't the story that he got this woman pregnant, pressured her into an abortion, and the check was to cover that? Then, he got her pregnant again, he pressured her to abort again, but she refused, and that was when she had his child. So his story is, he wrote her a check because he knew she'd become his baby mama, at a future date, even though she'd just had an abortion? What?
    5
  1020. That's false. No developed countries have such strict limits without exceptions for physical and mental health of the mother. All a woman has to do is say is her mental health is negatively impacted, and she gets an abortion. Also, there is usually leeway for a teenaged pregnancy, even in stricter countries.

  1024.  @Whatsa-jaguar-now  Since Obama's White House, the EU, the IMF and the World Bank all wanted corrupt Shokin gone, Biden was working for the nation's interests. As Trump was putting the Ukraine in danger of further Russian invasion, to aid his 2020 campaign, he was working against American interests, and breaking campaign finance law. Nixon neither asked a foreign country for help, or worked against national interest. There is only one criminal in this group, and it's Trump.

  1025.  @dorianshadesofgray  Selling drugs (including alcohol), gambling and prostitution are victimless vice crimes. They should be legalized.

  1027. I never was addicted. But, I easily could have been. I went through chemotherapy 8 years ago. And my oncologist wrote scripts for oxycotin like they were sugar pills. I only filled one, and was very sparing in my use. My brother was an addict, so I feared I might have a genetic predisposition to it. I preferred living with pain to addiction. When my torture was done, my mailbox filled with ads for addiction treatment centers. Everyday there at least 3 brochures delivered to me. It turns out, many cancer patients end their treatment with an addiction problem. And when the scripts end, they turn to injectables.

  1041. All education is not equal. Sure, a degree in a STEM field holds value, but not most humanity degrees. And many colleges have to dumb down their classes, because student quality is so poor. In countries where college is paid for by the government, standards are much higher for admission, no sports scholarships are given, nor are there racial set-asides, and students must have high test scores (you know those standardized tests fools think are racist) in order to be admitted. Such colleges don't have sports teams, or Greek life. Students either study, and perform well, or they are kicked out. There are no therapy animals, rock climbing walls, or safe spaces. College there, is a time for hard work, not partying.

  1060. The reason that most vaccines take so long to produce is neither science or red tape, but money. Most research first has an idea, then it has to get funding, a vaccine is developed and tested in animals, if successful more funding must be drummed up, then more animal trials, more funding, small human safety trials, funding, larger safety trials, funding, efficacy trials, more funding, only then does production begin. Each funding cycle eats up lots of time. But, with this vaccine, all the waiting for funding didn't have to occur, as numerous governments threw money at the research. And, most importantly, once efficacy trials began, so did production. So, when the efficacy trials were concluded, there was already stock on the shelf, ready to be shipped. The joke is with vaccines you can have two of three metrics, fast, safe, cheap. This time around we had fast and safe, but cheap was sacrificed for the common good.

Second, the only candidate trying to establish a totalitarian dictatorship was the antidemocratic Trump, who tried to repeal the will of voters. Third, censorship refers to a government stepping on free speech, not a a private company deplatforming someone who broke the rules they agreed to. Your rant is false and meaningless. There are medications that could help you keep a firmer grasp on reality.

  1062. I grew up in Southern California in the 60s. The fire season was only August through October, when the Santa Anas blew. The drought made everything dryer and left a lot of fuel behind. And there were fewer homes in wild areas then. But, the major thing is, the summer temperatures are much hotter now. So, the fire season is almost year round. I now live in Oregon, and it is much hotter in the summer here than when I moved here 30 years ago. When I moved here, the trees were mossy year round, now they are not.

They are unwilling to admit that they are the problem. This really frightens me because I'm an old school liberal, who believes in equality, but realizes 'equity' only hurts people. Chappel isn't my favorite comedian, but his special was not transphobic. It is disgusting that we can no longer discuss an issue, without someone calling us 'socialist', 'corporate', 'racist' or phobic about something. The fringes of both parties have gone off the rails, but mentioning it just generates name calling. If the far left keeps driving the Democratic party's agenda, and further alienating the voting public, not only are we going to see Republicans take control of Congress in 2022, Trump will be reelected in 2024. 'Wokeness' could easily ensure the death of our democracy.

Turkey was experiencing severe inflation even before the pandemic, and Erdogan made matters worse, by lowering the prime lending rate to 0%. But, although the war in Ukraine, has made the cost of gas worse, most of our inflation is due to the pandemic relief efforts, of both the Biden and Trump administrations, overheating the economy.

  1076.  @charlesmiv3842  How does taking money paid by middle class tax payers, to pay of the debt of wealthier people help the middle class? It hurts the middle class. And putting the inequity of making people pay off loans taken out by elites aside, the whole scheme was unconstitutional, as only the legislature can spend tax revenue.

  1077.  @cyberspace667  Just wearing a mask, if there is a spray, won't protect your eyes. That's why health care professionals also wear face shields. And you're correct, the main reason we should all wear masks is to protect others if we are sick but asymptomatic. Still, wearing an N95 mask, around an infectious person, is better for you than not wearing one.

  1078.  @kurtschrieber8556  He's not charged with tax fraud, because Tish James is a city AG, not a federal attorney. He did give a much higher valuation for loans, and to make a Forbes list. Then he used a lower valuation for taxes. Ms. James has referred the case to federal attorneys, and he may be charged, by them, soon.

  1079. Remember, Herzog comes from a Labour background, so doesn't mind that the far left courts rule, not the democratically elected government. In the US, judges and justices are either elected by the people, or appointed by those the people elect. In Israel, a committee of former judges appoint judges and justices. In the US, the Supreme Court can only overturn legislation if it is unconstitutional. In Israel, the courts only need to feel they are "unreasonable", a highly subjective measure. In the US, the president appoints the AG, who serves at his pleasure. In Israel, the same judicial committee appoints the AG, and the PM has no say in who it is. In Israel, this committee also appoints judicial "advisors", who have the final say in everything the government does. In Israel, there are no juries, and there is a 98% conviction rate, as judges and prosecutors collude. All the Israeli public wants, and voted for, was a justice system just a little bit more like ours, or at least like Canada's.

  1081.  @basedimperialism  Women don't report rape for a variety of reasons, but most boil down to the fact that this crime often puts the victim on trial. She shouldn't have worn those clothes, when some men would even find a burka enticing. She should have said no, when she'd been drugged, and was unconscious. She shouldn't have walked down that street, when it was the shortest way home. She should have fought harder, when we are told that is a good way to be killed. She shouldn't have gone to that party, she shouldn't have trusted that friend, she should have known better. There is always some jerk coming up with an excuse, for why the victim is responsible for some guy's crime. And women, knowing this, seldom report rape.

There is no such thing as immune fatigue from vaccination. That only occurs when someone has a long term chronic infection or cancer, never with vaccination.

  1084. Reagan had quite a few shitty policies that drove up the deficit while taking away vital services, he turned the mentally ill onto the streets, and had scandals like Iran-Contra.

If something is his fault he blames it on Obama or Hillary. When something is to Obama's credit, he claims that credit. His cult-like followers do the same. Just like when they claim that the economic benefits of Obama's policies are due to Trump.

  1112.  @DeathMetalMercenary  That's absolutely false. Coronaviruses mutate whether or not there is stress. On average, there is one mutation per replication. You clearly know nothing of either viral or bacterial genetics. If the immune system is trained to kill the virus (ie. you're immune) the virus cannot replicate, so there is no mutation. Thus, the virus is mutating mostly in unvaccinated hosts. (BTW Bacteria have extra genetic material (DNA) on plasmids, and that is where the proteins that provide antibiotic resistance are located. Under stress, bacteria transmit their plasmids to many other bacteria. That helps develop antibiotic resistance quickly. Viruses have no such plasmids.)
    5
  1113.  @StickmanMook  So another commenter who knows nothing about viral genetics spews another lie. Coronaviruses are quite different from influenza viruses. The genome of influenza is contained in seven or eight (depending on type) separate units. If a cell is infected by two different strains of influenza, those subunits can reassort, giving rise to a brand new strain. So while influenza viruses and coronaviruses mutate at about the same rate, influenza viruses have a lot more genetic variability over time. Reassortment is the reason we have to get a different influenza vaccine each year, not mutation. duh

Since there are 435 Representatives (and half of 435 is 217.5) if all are present and vote, he needs 218. However, say the 20 Republicans who did not vote for McCarthy had abstained or left, rather than vote for Donalds, that would mean a Speaker would need a majority of the remaining 415 Representatives, which would be 208.

As to cannabis legalization, cannabis has been legal in my state, since 2012, yet we still have domestic violence that kills women.

Over and over, he told his followers, that he would lose, due to cheating by Democrats. Remember his pathetic commission on voter fraud, which found nobody had committed fraud for Clinton, so disbanded. He knew that he was cheating, with Russia's assistance, and deflected his crimes on his opponent, as usual. The irony is, his constant complaints about fraud in 2016, led to a much more secure election in 2020, which made another win impossible.

I gave her a ride to the store to do it, and she came to me sobbing when the creep wouldn't fill the prescription. I then confronted him, say "I'm her mother, who are you to assert your beliefs over mine?". He still refused, so I went to the manager, got her prescription filled and the a-hole fired. My only regret is my poor daughter was embarrassed. If you don't want to fill prescriptions, don't become a pharmacist. Period.

  1168.  @JerryMetal  Hitler was not elected, he was appointed chancellor by von Hindenburg. The student led protests, that began in Maidan, were because they elected a president, Yanukovych, who promised to bring Ukraine into the EU, but instead, after months of negotiations, formed another trade alliance with Russia, rather than the EU. If Yanukovych had not used militarized police, and thugs released from prison, to murder the protestors, and kidnap then torture protest leaders to death, he would never have had to flee to Russia.

And that is not what got him fired. He was fired because he communicated with his brother's staff, letting them know what stories were about to break, so that his brother could do damage control before a new victim's story broke. That foreknowledge, gave the governor a chance to sully her reputation, before another of his misdeeds was made public.

  1195.  @mikehankins4513  I don't want to segregate everyone, based upon how they look or identify, but I do want sensible gun laws. Nobody is talking about accidental gun discharge, we are discussing the very intentional killing of other human beings, with a tool designed for one purpose, killing. A different large, former British colony, Australia, has 0.15 gun homicides per 100,000 residents, Canada has 0.52, and the US has 4.46. Yes, there are a few countries with higher gun homicide rates, but they are mostly violent Central American countries where drug cartels rule. The country most like us is Canada, and we should have a similar homicide rate.

  1196.  @carolynm.784  There has been no proof of fraud, mere assertions of the same. That is why all the crazy lawyers, working for Trump, never alleged fraud. They know they'd be laughed out of court. Just claiming there is a video of Biden saying something, does not make it true. You lot are getting more and more desperate, and your claims more and more absurd.

  1205. Well, I hope that you never want to visit a national park or forest. Because those 'nonessential' places are shut down. And I wouldn't fly anywhere right now, because the 'essential' TSA agents are working, without pay. The department that makes sure gas pumps and grocery scales are accurate is closed. Hope you don't mind being cheated at the pump or store. How about NIH, which performs and supports health related research. They had to scramble to save their data as they were being shut down. Not sure what will happen to the time sensitive research in progress. Also shutdown, NSF, which will stop their vital research on such things as snowpack (vital to know how much water we'll have next year). These organizations will stop issuing the grants that much scientific research relies on. If you were hoping for better battery research or the cure for cancer, too bad. Do you want safe food, tough, because the USDA is also shut down. How about the info that NASA was getting from a solar probe? Too bad, NASA is shut down.

  1209.  @Chango_Loco  Having a science degree from UCLA, which required a lot of biology classes, I agree with Hawley on this one thing. With mammals, only females can get pregnant, and males cannot. Yes, a delusional female can get pregnant, even if she thinks she is a male, because she is still female. She could also be impregnated, even if she thought she was a desk lamp. Belief does not change biology. Except in the very rare cases of true hermaphrodism (XXY), gender is binary in humans. So abortion access really only physically affects women of reproductive age. Your feelings don't change that reality, and it is very immature and unintelligent, to claim otherwise.

  1210.  @charlesunachukwu9147  No, they said when enough people are vaccinated that infections rate drop low enough, we can return to normal. Of course we should still wear masks, the majority of people aren't fully vaccinated yet. Unless the start tattooing the foreheads of fully vaccinated people, you can't tell if someone can't spread infection, by looking at them. Of course we will need to continue wearing masks for a while. In Israel, where the majority of the population (Jews, Arabs, and others) are vaccinated, the mask mandate will soon be removed, and people are eating out again. But, we aren't there yet. Help move things along, and get vaccinated.

  1229. Hopefully the findings, that Saget's death was due to brain injury, will stop the idiots, that point to his death as proof vaccines don't work. Even prompt treatment doesn't prevent all damage, due to a head injury. My father suffered a serious bicycling accident in his 50s, right outside a hospital. So was promptly treated. But, he still was in a coma for ten days. He lost all his memories, but gradually regained all but the most recent. Still, he noticed some cognitive impairment in his late 60s, and gave up the practice of medicine in his early 70s. Eventually, this turned into Altzheimers, of which he died. As someone who was both physically and mentally active, always learning new ideas and skills, he should have been the last person to develop this disease. His physicians blamed it on the earlier serious brain trauma.

  1240. What field did you get your degree in, that you're such an expert? (My degrees are in microbiology and computer science.) Early on, the CDC was quite good. I got my first warnings reading MMWR in November 2019. It wasn't until Trump put his greasy thumb on the organization, that their papers became scattered. And then, Birx did point us to good sources of realizable data, like healthdata.org out of UW. Their projections, with and without mitigation strategies, were spot on. And, pubmed dropping the paywall made a lot of good journal papers available to the general public. But, seriously, if you expect those unschooled in science or statistics, to understand a scientific paper, you're dreaming. Most Americans don't even understand what four fold means, and clearly are incapable of reasonable risk calculations. If they did understand data, and risk assessment, they'd all be vaccinated.

  1245. Johnson is bad, but not nearly as bad as Trump. BJ modeled mask wearing. He's in trouble, for holding a party while others quarantined. But, Trump forbid wearing masks in the White House, and numerous member of his staff were infected. When he infected Chris Christie, he called, not to wish him a speedy recovery, but to make sure Christie didn't tell people how he caught Covid. Johnson may have made light of Covid at first, but after his enduring it, he came around. When Trump caught Covid, and only survived because he got cutting edge treatment, unavailable to the citizenry, he said claimed that how strong he was. Johnson had Brits quarantine, when Covid numbers rose. Johnson doesn't make light of the danger of pumping carbon into the atmosphere, like Trump. Is Johnson ideal? No. But so much less loathsome than Trump.

She and her husband really wanted this baby, so she went through hell to have it. I love the little boy that resulted from this horrendous pregnancy, and am very glad he was born. But, I would never wish such health problems on any female that did not want a child. I can think of little more evil than forcing a woman to continue a sickening unwanted pregnancy because the male wanted the child. His life is not at risk. If he really wants a child so badly, he could adopt, or find a different mate. Only the female is risking her life and health in a pregnancy, so only the female should have any say about continuing or terminating it.

  1314. My late father was a urologist. And, even though I was young when California's Therapeutic Abortion Act passed (1967) I noticed there was suddenly a downtick in the number of women coming into his office, through the back door, and my father started working shorter hours (from 16 hours a day down to around 12). We didn't have less money then, so I can only assume he had been providing his services for free. Later in life I met women who told me my father was a saint, and that he had saved their lives, although they would never tell me how he had done so. There were few physicians willing to risk their medical licenses, as my father had done, so I can understand why many women were forced to go to quacks.

  1318. Just imagine if Jimmy Carter had not told France, to let the Ayatollah Khomeni return to Iran. Reza Shah was already gone, and a democracy loving government, of intellectuals and human rights activists, had formed. If Khomeni had not returned, to seize power, we might not have loved the new Iranian government, but it would not be this oppressive theocracy. The IRGC would not seize the bulk of everything, leaving the Iranian people without food and water. Women would be free to wear, or not wear, the hijab. Thanks Carter.

  1320.  Federal Reserve WOLF TheFedWolf  First, many of those 97%, you claim are just fine, actually have long term debilitating effects, from the virus. Second, by allowing the virus to replicate, unchecked, we have already given rise to more dangerous variants, that can infect, and kill, young fit individuals. Do you want even more dangerous and infectious variants to arise?

If they'd worn dresses, instead of pantaloons and stockings, that would have been drag. And, if drag queens weren't putting on sexually explicit shows, in schools and libraries, then why are you concerned it is banned?

In other words, the unvaccinated spread a lot more virus. And being vaccinated is not a cult, it is just the intelligent and patriotic thing to do.

  1348. Actually, evolving technology allows the state to monitor our every action. The UK has CC cameras everywhere. The Chinese surveillance state everyone all the time, and can even determine feelings of its citizens with AI. I'm fairly certain that predictive software will soon be operating to prevent crimes as in the movie Minority Report.

  1356.  @bobbyschannel349  Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, and Myranmar all voted to suspend Russia from UNHRC, so not just Japan. So did Paraguay, Uruguay, Peru, Chile, Ecuador, Colombia, Argentina, Surinam, Guatemala and Panama. Israel, Egypt, UAE and Saudi Arabia voted to condemn Russia, they didn't just abstain. Your contention that most of the world is "not on board" is utterly false.

  1357. I wish that were true, but the power is distributed and regional, not federal. I'm sure you've heard how don't have one election, but a whole lot of regional ones. Each state's Sec. of State, and each voting district, has control. The federal government used to be able to step in, if minorities' voting rights were being infringed upon, but SCOTUS put an end to that.

  1358.  @God.sDaughter  Contraception is not 100%, accidents happen. I've got a better plan, let every woman control her own body. If you don't like abortion, don't have one, but keep your nose out of other people's business.

  1360.  @dondonnerson2113  One of the avenues is through a SCOTUS decision. Based upon the Constitutional right to privacy, many other rights were derived, the right to decide on what medical procedures you have, the right to use contraception, the right to marry whom you wish even if the are of the same sex or a different race, to name a few. The extension of gun rights to the individual, came from a badly decided case, and it too could be overturned.

  1366. It's a pity that you couldn't have shown the remains of the multitude of victims of ISIL, and talked of their horrible deaths in the same hushed tones, you use for the families of murderous terrorists. Terrorists always use human shields. Al Qurayshi didn't care about the welfare of his own wives and children. If he had, he would not have used them as human shields, or blown them up, when it was clear he'd be taken. US troops warned civilians to evacuate, but the terrorists did not allow it. All of these deaths are the fault of ISIL.

  1372. The interest rate was lowered to heat up the economy. Now that it is boiling hot, the rate must rise, or we will all be made poorer by rampant inflation. Interest rate rises will actually reduce shortages, as it reduces the impetus to buy.

  1384.  MsBegum  The 2% morality rate is not the biggest problem. The more common negative results of a Covid-19 infection are, brain fog due to disruption of the brain's white matter, difficulty leaning, doubled chance of diabetes due to interference in pancreatic signaling, lung damage, heart damage, kidney damage, neural damage, fatigue, and loss of sense of smell. A insurance company found that 11% of people, who took even a day off with Covid-19, were still too disabled to return to work a year later.

  1391. In Portland, a lot of new immigrants had food carts (what we called Roach Coaches when I lived in LA). They were good places to get an inexpensive, but tasty lunch, healthier than fast food chains, and were very popular. But, when the police stopped enforcing property crimes, and allowed homeless to camp wherever, the food cart owners often found they were burglarized during the night. The cost of constantly replacing propane cookers put them out of business. With reelection looming, the mayor has begun to reverse some of his crazier "progressive" policies, and theft and trespass violations are being enforced again. Sweeps, to get the homeless off the streets, and out of the parks, have begun.

  1394. Rockets are being fired on Israeli population centers daily, and no news coverage. Fields and forests have been set on fire by incendiary devices, and no coverage. Innocent people shopping, working or hiking in a forest are killed because they are Jews, and there is no coverage. Finally one of the many attacks is reported, and your response is to tell lies about hundred being killed who are not.

  1395. Which is why I voted for the Oregon measure. You cannot legislate morality, Prohibition should have taught us that. We've long had Portugal's example of the result of decriminalization, all good. I'm in my 60s, and have watched law enforcement become more militarized due to the war on drugs. My son-in-law did not have his mother in his tender youth, because his mother was in prison for non-violent drug charges. I'm not one of those people who thinks just because I don't use heavy drugs, nobody should be permitted. Addiction is terrible, but we should treat it, not treat it like a crime. We waste far too many tax dollars arresting, prosecuting and incarcerating people for vice crimes.

The only difference is the way the media treats such evil.

She represents the true Democratic party, the way it should be, the way it was until it was hijacked by a socialist lunatic. Her intelligent ideas, to make the country a better place for all, would get through Congress.

  1431. There is no backlash against gay people. There is a backlash against products, made for males trying to appear like they are females, marketed towards minors. There would not be an issue with males, who falsely identify as female, if they were not taking away rights from women and girls. There would not be an anti-trans backlash, if minors were not being given puberty suppressors. People are generally fine with other getting more rights, unless they are themselves losing rights because of it. And, of course, most people are against child abuse. BTW Recognizing delusion is a mental problem is not hatred, but yelling at people to accept your delusion as reality is both crazy and hateful,

  1435. @blueflame The airlines were flush with cash, and rather than setting aside for a downturn, they pissed it away on stock buybacks. That is why they need money. Rather than throw more money at them, the government should buy their stock. Voting stock in the airlines would allow them to prevent more, and more, rows of seats being squeezed into an aircraft. It has gotten so tight that passengers are fighting over leg space.

  1436.  @jeanniesmith3356  The deformation being discussed usually prevents living more than a few days. PT can't do a damned thing for it. What if two Tay Sachs carriers have the fetus tested, to discover it has Tay Sachs. That means the infant can last up to a year, in constant pain, without enough brain function to bond to the parents. That condition is usually discovered between the 15th and 18th week. So, a law that prevents abortion after 15 weeks, would condemn both the parents and deformed child to suffer. What kind of sick individuals would force that pregnancy to continue?

  1447.  @bradynlotterman8164  No, that is false. A fetus isn't a being of any type, let alone human. A being is a discrete living individual, not a parasite for whom the host provides oxygenation, energy, and waste disposal.

  1453. In 2021, we were still very much in pandemic times. Mothers were often not allowed to bring family to births, for important emotional support. After giving birth, with the loss of healthcare workers, getting follow up care was more difficult. And, lets not forget having Covid-19 while pregnant, not only often caused miscarriages, among the unvaccinated, it also often killed unvaccinated mothers. Pregnancy also can cause diabetes and heart problems, health ailments that are twice as likely in black people, and other minorities, than in whites. This increases the maternal mortality rate. And when you factor in, the initial reluctance, among minority communities, to increase survival rates, through Covid-19 vaccines, it isn't surprising minorities have a higher maternal mortality rate.

Israel has a vaccine in pill form, that is going through clinical trials now, and does seem about as effective as the J&J vaccine, but without the clotting problems. The beauty of both of those vaccine methods is, they produce more IgA, which is secreted in mucous.

And in countries, where students don't pay tuition, or tuition is minimal, it is much harder to get into college, than in the US. You actually have to be intelligent, and work hard in school, to be accepted to college, with good grades and high test scores. There are no places given out for race or athletic ability.

Frankly, I thought this could be easily handled, until we learned that most of the people passing this disease along are asymptomatic. Science corrects itself, as more data comes in, religions do not. Think of the Hershey-Chase Waring blender experiment. Prior to that, everyone assumed that hypothetical genes would be made of protein, but that experiment proved they must be made of nucleic acids.

Then they looked to see if that gene were important. They went through all the names of real hedgehogs, and none were really that essential. They had run out of natural names when they found another hedgehog gene, so the called it Sonic, the Sonic HedgeHog gene, or SHH. Its gene product turned out to be a vital signal in embryonic growth and development.

  1500. As we age, our immune systems become less robust, so it's not surprising you aren't completely immune. One thing to keep in mind, when you get vaccinated, if you have more fatigue or inflammatory response (sore joints or swollen lymph nodes), your immune system has really responded, and the virus probably won't be able to replicate at all, in you. The side effects everyone seems to fear, are signs that you've gotten a good immune response.

  1506.  @billargueta5458  Untrue. There is a large group of children, who survived Covid, but now have learning disabilities due to mental impairment. There are other children with damaged hearts, because of something like Kawasaki's syndrome. Sure you can risk your child's debilitation from Covid, by just letting them get infected. But, it is much more intelligent to obtain their immunity the safe way, through vaccination.

  1510. I think Gaetz's buddy, Greenberg, was in charge of procurement, not an agency. Frankly, I think prostitution should be legalized, like in Australia. That way sex workers can be protected, and there is less of chance of spreading STDs. If sex work was legal employment, escort agencies could screen the workers, and ensure they are of legal age. But, it's not legal, and law makers should try to avoid breaking the very laws they are making.

  1523.  @marclagalle1486  It's obvious that the virus needs a large population of unvaccinated people (or animals) to mutate. On average, one mutation occurs in a coronavirus with every replication. And the unvaccinated allow the virus to replicate a lot, unhindered by an adaptive immune response.

  1527. I'm so tired of fools, pointing to the new strains of influenza each year, as an example of viruses mutating. Influenza is genetically different from most viruses, in that it's genome is in 7 or 8 subunits, that can be exchanged during coinfection of a cell. Since each different type of subunit has a different antigen, this swapping around of parts, called reassortment, creates a unique set of antigens. That is why new strains, with drastic changes in antigenicity, arise each year, not normal viral mutation. Coronaviruses are not like influenza viruses, their genetic material is contained in positive sense, single strand RNA. Because RNA is single stranded, not double like DNA, it is more prone to replication errors, like a communications glitch. That is where its mutations arise from. Here is a rather boring video on reaasortment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4H9PV65PUmQ

Then they sent Russians to fill the void left by that genocide.

You can't really blame people for trying to live a better life, even if they do it illegally, but you can blame those who enable illegal migration, by hiring them.

  1568.  @willtellall638 Why are infections spiking? Because idiots think that wearing a mask in an infringement on their rights, rather than a much needed public health safety measure. Your nonsense about mask disposal does not that into account that we wear masks to protect others from us, if we have Covid and are asymptomatic. This is the first deadly pandemic that humans have faced, in recorded history, where most of the people spreading it have no symptoms. That is why you should mask up in public to keep whatever you're carrying to yourself.

  1569.  @lizardog  It is hypocritical to condemn the pro-Trump riot, in DC, while condoning all the riots that occurred all summer. In both cases, more people were peaceful than violent. The main difference, the riots this summer lasted longer, were more racist, and did much more damage. If you call them "mostly peaceful", because the majority of protesters did not engage in violence, you have to speak the same way about the would-be insurrection. Be honest, and condemn both.

It is not their fault that Trump has broken many laws in order to be elected, and that he continues to break the law on a daily basis.

  1584. I always thought my shiksa grandmother was telling tales, when she said her grandmother was a "Cherokee princess". But, despite being told I had native blood, I never even considered using it to get ahead. I finally did a genetic test, and I've about 6% native genes. Turns out my grandmother is much more honest than Warren.

  1585. The USPS is run as a separate entity. Garbage collection is done by private companies, or by the municipality, not the federal government. Shut down are things like weights and measures, NSF, NIH, USDA, FDA, OHSA, NASA, and Federal Parks. In other words, the departments that keep us safe and make America great.

  1587. When a guy who went to a fancy Catholic school sneers at someone, because they went to a Jewish school, they are a racist. I sent my children to a Jewish school because I was sick of them being picked on, because they were Jewish. I grew up in rural California, and experienced antisemitism, as a small child, and was damned if my children would have to go through that too. So, I spent the money I'd saved for my own grad school, to send them to a Chabad school. It was far from exclusive and fancy. (The nearby Catholic school was a lot posher.) But, they didn't develop the chip on their shoulders, that I had to, to survive.

  1588.  @darthvadeth6290  What is interesting about the waste water surveys is that they only work because the virus is secreted in urine and feces. And we know that our pets can get Covid from their people. And yet, despite everyone being required to wear masks, dog owners have no compunction against allowing their pets to urinate and defecate in public areas and in other people's yards.

  1589.  @RoobrtLiwanduski  Interesting that you cite a poll, conducted by Russia supported oligarchs, prior to the Maidan revolt, and the resulting invasion by Russia.

  1590.  @lacylou3482  No, Russia has no right dictating to another country, what alliances they may, and may not join. And NATO is not a country, expanding its borders. NATO is an alliance, bringing in new members, with no border changes.

  1591. It is interesting that, in the past, special investigators were always chosen from the opposing party. Yet, even though Mueller is a Republican, Trump screams the Democrats are out to get him.

  1594.  @ShaneOmac831  Where did Helen claim he "lost his base"? She said his base was insufficient to win. And she was right, they are too small a portion of voting citizens, and unlike previous presidents, he did nothing to bring more people into his fold. Instead, he demonized others and acted like they weren't "real Americans". And I know several diehard Republicans, who voted for him the first time, but could not vote to reelect him, due to his nondemocratic, totalitarian tendencies. I know Independents, who gave him a chance the first time, but saw he only used to presidency to line his own pockets, and those of his rich friends. They were so discouraged, they must didn't vote in 2020. As to "playing the mail game", did you forget the fact we were, and still are, in the middle of a global pandemic, that made going to the polls in person dangerous? Several states, mine being the first, have voted exclusively by mail for decades. It is not a game, it is a safe, legal way to vote.

  1595. I don't see a lot of Asian players or coaches, why isn't anyone complaining about that? Why is nobody complaining of the lack of diversity in highly paid players? If the racial makeup of coaches must exactly match that of the country, why doesn't the racial makeup of players have to as well?

  1596. Yes, I was upset by his confirmation as well. Not just because of Ms. Hill's brave testimony, but his entire attitude was so condescending and self righteous. I remember wishing Anita Hill was the nominee. She had so much more integrity, and a far more judicious demeanor.

  1597.  @nomecreona3829  He's not just stupider, he has strong authoritarian tendencies. Your people lived through Franco. You must understand how afraid many of us are, that this is an attempt to goad the people into rioting, and giving him a chance to declare martial law.

  1599. She might allow smoking in her bar. I think there are no state smoking rules, just municipal ones. I know where I live, when the bars were about to go smoke free, many bar owners whined it would cut their business. It didn't, it doubled business. She'd be better off figuring out how to serve people outside or develop a to-go business.

  1600. The Nazis didn't kill Jews because of their faith, but because of the ethnicity. That is why someone, who had always been christian, was murdered for having a Jewish grandparent. It was racism, not a dislike of a particular religion, that resulted in 67% of those with Jewish ancestry being murdered.

  1607. Daniel Baro I went through chemo 5 years ago. My oncologist prescribe me as much oxycontin as I wanted. I used pot cookies my daughter baked me instead. No nasty side effects, like with opiates. And the medical establishment knows they create addicts with opiates. Two months after my cancer treatment was over, I started receiving addiction treatment brochures in the mail. But I didn't need it, because marijuana is not physically addictive!

  1610.  @blahblorp9015  Why do you think that? Do you think the virus is thinking its way around the problem? Variants arise by chance, not cognition, and can only arise when the virus replicates.

  1616.  @angelainamarie9656  Every communist country has total totalitarianism. Human nature being what it is, if everyone gets the same benefits, regardless of the work they do, they won't work. So, to make sure there is any production, the workers are treated like slaves, told what education they will get and what job they will work at. That is exactly the opposite of what Republicans desire. They want motivation to come from wages, so much so that they want to get rid of any safety net. Republican philosophy has its faults, but will never lead to a state like communist China. The only place communism ever worked was in Israeli kibbutzim, and even there, it would not have worked without huge amounts of volunteer labor and generous tax breaks from the government.

  1619. If your kid has a cell phone, how are you going to do that? Maybe a ten year old would put up with it. But, I've raised two kids to adulthood, and teenagers will not tolerate you checking all their online traffic. If you try, they will get a phone you don't know about. We tracked all the web sites our LAN accessed. And when our older daughter realized that, she browsed the web at a friend's home. Teenagers can be really sneaky, and there is no way you can really keep them safe, without locking them in their room without a phone or internet.

  1622.  @SEANMCAD  Of course they targeted a kindergarten, with the plan to then blame Ukraine. This is exactly what Putin did in Chechnya, blew up an apartment building, then blamed it on rebels. Blinken warned us that Russian would make a false flag play, and they have.

  1630. He's the king of debt, he's not fazed by losing money. He knows he can be removed this time, that's what frightens him. Other Republicans are really angry about his attempted coup. And they can remove him nunc pro tunc which means he won't get a pension, he won't get a GSA office, he and his family won't get security details. He won't have any of the trappings of being a former president, and that hurts his brand.

  1631. Bush was stupid, but honorable. If he had not allowed Cheney (not an honorable man) to lead him, we probably would not have demolished Iraq. The Bush Whitehouse, the way Comey describes it, sounds like Scandal. Cheney, and his minions, were trying to deceive Bush. They failed in regards to Stellar Wind, but won with Iraqi WMD.

  1636. Zelensky was also a successful businessman, who built his own production company, from nothing. While, Trump has lost more money than he ever made, and had to be bailed out by his father, when his casinos were losing money. Zelensky was a political satirist. It would be like if Jon Stewart became president. How about Jon Stewart runs for office. He couldn't do a worse job than the current politicians.

  1637. Sure, on average, children performed worse. But, I've seen more granular studies, that contrasted children according to their parents educational level. And children whose parents have advanced degrees, especially in STEM fields, actually scored better than against similar pre-pandemic cohorts, especially older children. That seems to indicate we need more intelligent teachers.

  1639.  @davidsumrall1523  All this appeasement of Russia, and looking the other way when he committed war crimes, started under "W" Bush. He's the one who said he looked into his eyes, and saw a man of god. Admittedly, Obama was weak on Russia, but then foreign policy was never Democrat's forte, we've always been better at domestic policy. And Trump, with his kowtowing, and unctuos agreement with whatever Putin said or wanted, only further emboldened Putin. I'm assuming, with your avowal that Trump will win the next three elections, you also like tyrants, who declare themselves president-for-life, regardless of existing laws. You must really love Putin.

But, it that latter thug's name, statues were torn down of Lincoln, Washington, and US Grant, and even of wildlife. There was no consensus to remove those statues, just a bunch of anarchists causing destruction. Hard to cry when an unwanted statue, of the very thug who caused all the unrest, gets a little paint on it.

  1650. @EX Democrat Amber As one moderator said "If the clown shoe fits...". Calling Trump a clown was both truthful and mild. I would have called him what he is, an asshole who thinks the rules do not apply to him. He was like a toddler, unable to wait his turn.

  1659.  @romantemniuk9881  I live even closer to where BLM riots occurred, within walking distance of the synagogue the rioters burned down. Yes the BLM riots were truly heinous, innocent people were hurt and killed, people's livelihoods were ruined, and most of the criminals involved were not arrested, as they should have been. But, we've had countless violent, destructive and unproductive race riots in this country, and they never prevented the peaceful transition of power. The insurrection might have.

  1668. Better yet, make sure everyone can vote. In Oregon, we all vote by mail. It is easy to register on-line, and one can register up to the day before our ballots are mailed out. Then, we have a couple of weeks to mail in our paper ballot. Thus, no mean spirited poll worker can turn those of the "wrong" color away, and nobody needs to beg time off to wait for hours to vote. Since, it seems voting day will never be made a holiday, this is the best way to ensure all can vote.

  1676.  @reidsimonson  Never mind what never happened? Ukraine is not in NATO, and there are no nuclear weapons, on Russia's border, unless Russia put them there. This invasion, and the initial one, in 2014, were completely unprovoked. Just Russia trying to reconquer its empire, by occupying other countries again.

  1677. If the Iranian people were so happy, with the ayatollah turning their country into an authoritarian, brutal, theocracy, why did so many flee the country? There is a huge Iranian expat society, all descended from people very unhappy with the Shah being replaced with someone much worse. While attending UCLA, I worked for an Iranian pediatrician in Westwood. His patients were mostly Iranian, Jews, Christians and Muslims. In 1979, there was a huge influx of Iranians, and all of them hated the ayatollah. Sure, the hardliner Muslims might have been happy, but that was not true of most of the country, who had much more freedom, under the Shah.

  1687. All I can find is that it has been gradually developing, so probably not due to a stroke, unless he had a series of mini-strokes. As we age, we lose neurons, and various types of plaques can build up in the brain. This often results in memory difficulties. If the damage was isolated to the speech centers of the brain, that would result in aphasia. Or, perhaps he had a head injury, that the public was not made aware of. I do hope it is not due to a malignant brain tumor.

  1690. The military didn't need advice from Trump. What they needed was authorization to act. When Trump would not give that, they turned to Pence. It was Pence who authorized the National Guard response. Typically, only the president (not the speaker, and certainly not the mayor) authorizes National Guard deployment in the District of Columbia. But, as the president refused to do his duty, they turned to the vice president. I never thought I's say this, but thank g_d for Pence.

  1691. Having read the book, I agree that he is dedicated to the law and is behaves honorably, except when his superior is female. Reading between the lines, I find he has great integrity when his boss is male. But when his boss if female, he will substitute his judgement for theirs and gladly steal the limelight and take credit for their work. In Virginia, when he did this to his boss, she did not chastise him. I wish that she had. Maybe he would have been more honest in 2016. If the AG and DAG, during our last elections, had not been women, I doubt he would have gone to the press, but rather would have followed the regular order and submitted his report to Lynch or Yates.

  1703. I've been really depressed, about voting, this year. I'm a registered Democrat, but the Democrats, in my state are too far left. They only care about identity politics, and revisionist history, and aren't doing anything for the average citizen, while taxing us into poverty. So, I looked at the Republicans. They're even madder. Many are Qanon or radical christian nationalists. Yikes. I'm so happy Betsy Johnson is running. That's one office where I don't have to write in my adult children's names, or my cat's.

  1708.  @danr4316  Nope, he was being sarcastic. The point he was making is, of course guns kill, that is their purpose. Yes, you can kill people other ways, but guns have only one purpose, killing. Other countries, with intelligence gun control laws, have nutcases, but they don't commit mass murder as frequently as in the US. Only in a country, with easy access to guns, is there so much wholesale slaughter of each other. It's hard to murder 8 people in one knife attack. Yes, you can run people over, but bollards around buildings prevent that. There is really only one big difference between us and Canada, which has far, far fewer mass killings, and that is Canada has good gun control.

If you have already had a heart attack, vaccination does not repair the damage, and you can have another heart attack.

They don't get treated in time.

  1722.  @lflash204  Sure vaccinated people can contract Covid, especially one of the new strains, but it's very unlikely that they'll have high enough of a viral load to infect someone else. The whole idea of getting vaccinated is to stop the spread of the disease.
    4
  1723.  @robinamericanmade7258  Since what you stated is false, why should anyone get it. Over 99% of those hospitalized from Covid were the jerks who would not get vaccinated. The vaccinated can contract the virus but do not get as sick or shed as much virus. And don't conflate CT values with viral load. Plague assays show that the vaccinated, when infected, do not produce nearly as much active virus, as the unvaccinated do, and shed virus for less than a third of the amount of time. The vaccines do work, they prevent serious illness and hospitalization.

  1724.  @angvantuan1828  The low death rates in the west are due to our early quarantine efforts, not a dubious treatment.

It is not a wonder drug, or a universal cure. Stop acting like it is.

  1730. Portlander since 1988, I agree. We may have some problems, but still it's a good state, and don't want to be like Arizona or Idaho. I noticed that our hospitals had to build some extra morgue space, to contain all the Idahoans, who could not get a bed in their own state, and had to come here to die, because they were too stupid to get vaccinated. We've also told the women of Idaho, if they need an abortion, they can still come here. If we become like Idaho, what will the underserved people of Idaho do?

I've never had a chore list, just a polite request to leave the place as clean as we found it.

  1746. In Oregon, we have machines to do signature comparison. Only rejected ballots are perused by human eyeballs. And, in one video, I saw Arizona has the same sort of machines. This sort of signature verification has been successfully used by banks, for checks, since at least the 1970s. The problem lies in the laws, legislated by the Republican state house, that do not allow signature verification to even begin, until the polls close. My state, Oregon, is the first in the nation to vote only by mail, and signature verification is done, as the ballots are received. If you vote early enough, you have to time to cure a rejected ballot. Tabulation does not begin until the start of election day. If the Republican Arizona legislature, would change the laws, the vote count would begin, and end, sooner.

  1751. It has been corrupt in both red and blue states, for a very long time. My family was friends with the woman who was minority leader of the California statehouse, Carol Hallett. She lived on the ranch where she, and three generations before here, had been raised. She was the type of politician, who was always willing to reach across the aisle, to get good legislation passed. But, she did not toe the party line, and instead voted the way her constituents wanted. Thus the Republicans did not like her, and as she was very popular in her district, could not be primaried out. The Democrats didn't like her, because of her popularity with the people, as well, because they had hoped to swing her district in their direction. So, both parties agreed to gerrymander her out of her district, and redrew district lines so her family ranch was included in a very urban area, where only Democrats won. The map was really odd, with this pseudopod, reaching out from Santa Barbara, to envelop just her property, leaving all the other ranchland alone.

  1755. Yes, the whole charge is rather vague. Someone, not a major player in the family, wondered how dark the baby might be. They didn't say that a dark baby was a bad thing, they just wondered. I wondered the same thing, when my daughter was pregnant, because her husband is black. I didn't regard having dark skin a bad thing, I just wondered. He actually has lighter skin than I do, blue eyes, and dark curly hair, straighter than mine. He has his father's nose, eyebrows, ears and sex, and has dark auburn hair, but otherwise looks like a clone of his mother, the same eyes, mouth, shape of face and expressions. He's a very cute little boy, but might have been cuter with darker skin. The person wondering about their child, might have been thinking that darker skin would be better, than the easily burned skin of his ginger father.

  1756.  @stevenlight5006  In the 90s the attitude was "you must have been asking for it' and you were asked about what you were wearing, and questioned about your own sexual history.

And what sort of people use a place, that they claim is holy to them, as a weapons depot, and staging grounds to attack others at prayer?

  1763. The lies, cajoling, coercion and bullying have come from the antivaccination crowd. The people issuing physical threats, are those against vaccination and masking. It is obscene that, with the help of foreign trolls, a portion of the population has been convinced to avoid being protected from an infectious disease. It certainly is against the best interests of the individual, and the public, to remain unvaccinated.

  1765. Really? The first chapter of one of my university virology book is "The structure of Animal Viruses" and the other is "Titration of Viruses". T cells were covering my Immunology and Hematology classes, as T cells are lymphocytes in the immune system, not viruses. But then, as a microbiology major, I took those courses at the UCLA med school. The class you took was probably dumbed down, that's why it threw in extraneous information.

  1766.  @jamesmason2228  Include in that group, physicians whose specialized in something other than infectious disease. I took Virology and Immunology with med students. While those of us getting a degree in microbiology had to work for grades, the med students were given the option of pass/fail. All the future surgeons treated those classes as a joke. It's amazing the number of cardiologists who are suddenly instant experts in virology.

Also, vaccination greatly reduces transmission, and prevents the replication that gives rise to new variants.

No wonder, when victims of gun violence protest, the right calls them "crisis actors". It is a methodology the right employs all the time.

The reasons that Africa is facing a food shortage are: 1) people have having too many children, 2) local food production has been hampered by drought and constant tribal wars, 3) less food aid coming in due to war in Ukraine. Only the first problem can be addressed by local people, but they continue to have overly large families.

Why did he ask if they'd arrested anyone else? Could the murder have really been committed, by a subject he was communicating with?

Coach Barry Switzer said, “Some people are born on third base and go through life thinking they hit a triple.” I can't think of a person that quote better describes, than Trump.

  1833. There are things about Christie's policies that I disagree with. However, I love the way he is honestly speaking about the insurrection. I'm also rather charmed by his bothering to learn the name of a HS senior, who asks intelligent questions at town halls. That is a good retail politician.

  1834. I heard, on DW, that he'd been hoping to foment a popular uprising against Putin. While various police forces did nothing to stop the Wagner group's advance, they also did not join his army. This discouraged him from continuing.

  1838.  @richardreese8038  No we don't. While it is correct to require proof of citizenship to register to vote, once registered, one's signature should be enough to verify identity. Further, there are several states which vote only by mail. They use the same mechanism, to verify signatures on ballot envelopes, that banks use to verify signatures on checks. It works well, to weed out those trying to vote in another's name.

  1841.  @joela492  Similar vaccines to similar viruses gave an immune response for at least two years. The reason that we have to take yearly flu shots is no that the immunity fades, but the antigenicity of the virus changes, as it reassembles its genetic subcomponents during coinfection. In simpler words, every year there is a different flu strain.
    4
  1842.  @joela492  Wrong again, the immune response takes several weeks to develop. First IgM is expressed, then in two to three weeks, IgG. Once again, we take yearly flu shots because there are different strains each year, not because of waning immunity. This adenovirus vectored vaccine should give at least two years immunity, after the booster shot.

  1845. So, you don't give him credit for not following Trump's bidding? He could have thrown the whole election into disarray, by refusing to fulfill his role. Then, the 'alternate' slates of electors would have had to be considered, and we'd be in a muddle worse than after the election of 1866. There were plenty of Republican Congressmen, who raised legal objections to certifying the vote. Pence did not do that. Further, when his life was being threatened, by seditionists wanting to lynch him, he refused to be whisked away, from the capitol. He was afraid, if his security team removed him, they'd not bring him back. So, he gamely stayed in DC, and assisted in the peaceful transition of power. Actions speak louder than words, and his actions, a year ago, were to defend the Constitution. Also, plenty of Republicans, who spoke against the insurrection, later repudiated their words, and signed onto the Big Lie. Pence has not done that. Give credit where it is due, and Pence is due some praise.

  1848. The problem is her experience is far too common. And men just brushing a woman's horrible experience away is also too common. That is what the #MeToo movement is about. Women finally speaking their truth, which men consider unimportant. So shut up and listen for a change.

  1849. No woman is going to endure six or seven months of pregnancy, and all the pain and exhaustion that entails, to decide at the last minute she doesn't want the kid. Any last minute abortion is needed to save the only host's life, or because the parasite they are carrying will never live long, or ever be normal.

There was one paper, that did not get through peer review, due to its numerous errors, that claimed immunity from infection was better, and more than a dozen, that got through peer review, which show that immunity from vaccination is more consistent, longer lasting and broader, than immunity from infection. However, the best immunity is achieved by those first infected, then vaccinated.

  1868. It's far less from boredom, and much more from frustration. They were led to believe they could have marvelous lives, without learning a thing. They think high school, where the BYOC is the quarterback, not top scholar, should be the model of the world. They are angry that education and luck have more to do with wealth, than being the biggest bully. They begin to believe, that there has to be some nefarious reason, that others have better lives than they do. So, they look at the newcomer, willing to work hard for little, and the formerly downtrodden, who rise up through education, and blame them.

  1869. You missed the part where they said crime rates aren't yet as high as in the 80s. It got better, and now is getting bad again. Also, in many parts of the west, cannabis has been legal for about a decade, and we didn't see a rise in crime till after red states started bussing their vagrants here.

  1870.  @alanakafang6143  Ah yes, the 'climate has always changed' fallacy. The point people make, those aren't willfully ignoring the problem, is the rate of change is much more rapid than ever seen, since the human species evolved. Never before has the climate changed so drastically, just in one human's lifespan. And I'm not talking about outliers, like one year saw this temperature fifty years ago, but a constant delta towards a hotter planet. The last seven years have been the hottest on record, until the next year rolls in.

  1876. Most industry started relying on "just-in-time" procurement, counting on transport to flow in an orderly fashion. But, in a pandemic, bottlenecks develop, which impede production, which produces more bottlenecks, and the situation snowballs. Maybe, after this mess, industry will return to keeping a larger stockpile of input materials.

Now, it regularly has summer temperatures over 105F, and it snowed last year. It's weather is just more extreme, higher highs and lower lows. Plus the wildfire season used to be just during the Santa Ana winds. Now it's nearly year round.

  1890. No, those who are for the average citizen are advocating a public option, not the chaos of forcing all into Medicare and outlawing insurance. All those union members are going to lose the terrific insurance that they have. And people will die in the resulting chaos. If yo care about the people, you allow them to opt in, and gradually switch to a government system of healthcare. Nobody who cares about the people would push Sanders draconian policies.

  1897. There is a difference between a normal DOJ, and Trump's DOJ. Trump's DOJ dropped cases for his friends, and selectively prosecuted his enemies. They announced when they began investigations of Trump's enemies, with ominous semi-threats. I'm glad that Garland has returned to the normal methods, not announcing investigations, and not using DOJ actions to go after the opposition. There is so much public evidence of wrong-doing, you can be sure there are investigations. We'll hear the results if, and when, they produce indictments.

But, since this subject is rather difficult to approach in a nonpartisan manner, it shouldn't be taught to grade schoolers, until enough time has passed to remove bitterness.

  1906. The cops called him white because he looked white to him. It was a descriptor, not a social comment. Race is a stupid construct anyway.

  1911. Returning from Israel, we had to walk from the international terminal to the domestic terminal in LA. Even though we had two hours to go through TSA, we missed our next flight because the guys running the checkpoint were officious idiots. I went through the scanner, and this man starts running his hand up my leg. When he got to half an inch from my vulva, I brushed his hand away and told him he was violating my privacy. He said I'm looking for the chain you have on, and pointed to a screen. It was obvious that it was an image of a male, complete with testes and penis. I pointed out I didn't have that anatomy, and that the man in front of me had a chain. I was disgusted both by the way tired to grab a woman's crotch, and the fact that you can really see a person's anatomy on those screens. They are both violations of privacy.

The media has recognized the slightly lower vaccination rate of POC, and is trying to convince them to get vaccinated.

Name another president that proposed a guaranteed annual income, or has done more for the environment than founding the EPA. And as to foreign policy, everyone gives Reagan credit for things Nixon, or rather Kissinger, set into motion. It was Nixon who first visited China, and warmed relations with the USSR. He started no new wars, and got us out of Vietnam. And many of the things he did really helped people, like having the government pay for renal dialysis. I wasn't fond of his coziness with J. Edgar Hoover, or the Watergate coverup, but all in all, he was good for the country.

Also, the eyes are a vehicle of contamination too, masks alone don't protect you in a place where so many sick people are. But, in everyday life, wearing any mask protects others from you, when you are a symptomatic or pre-symptomatic. Stop spreading the lie that masks don't work.

All experts in viral genetics say it would have been impossible for the viruses, being studied in that Wuhan lab to have mutated into Covid19, which has a lot more in common with coronaviruses found in wild bat colonies in the province. How do the account for the fact all the primary cases clustered around two wet markets, while none were on the other side of the river, closer to the lab? What are the qualifications of the people who decided the lab theory was even remotely possible? Are there any virologists working for the department of energy, and if so, why? I really wish people would stay in their own lanes. A physicist knows nothing about viral genetics.

  1949. My daughter works for Intel, and gets half a year paid maternity leave, then a year where she can mostly work from home. Manchin's correct, this can be done in a more permanent way, by cooperating with employers. Shoving every possible wish list item, into a transitory, inflationary bill, is not the way to go. Each item should be addressed separately, so the people know what they are getting. Not only is that more fair and lasting, but those items, that don't pass, can serve as platforms to run on, in the midterms. Why can't people listen to what he's saying? The elections Tuesday should have been a wakeup call. He understands the psyche of the American people better than any in the "progressive" wing. But, they'll just sneer and say he's bought, and never realized how deluded they are, until the Republicans regain control of Congress. Then it will be too late. Will my party learn then? I doubt it, they just claim their loss was due to racism, not their own stupid policies. Keep pissing the voting public off, by acting like you know better, and passing bills that drive inflation, then Trump will win in 2024. As the country loses its democracy, the "progressives" will never admit that they were the cause.

  1951. If every state were to use vote-by-mail, as we do in Oregon, a lot of problems would be solved. There's no need to drive to the polls, no need to take time off work, no dishonest poll workers turning away minority voters, voter identity is determined well in advance of the election, and there is a solid paper trail if votes are in question. This won't happen in red states, as the Republicans fear what would happen if they can't suppress the vote.

  1958.  @Broglesby  Since your son's chances of any negative event is much higher if he gets infected, than from vaccination, your advice was terrible. And the reason that vaccine development was so rapid was many steps were done in parallel, rather than series, and more funding. Usually, with vaccine or drug development, there's years of animal studies on rodents. Then, if positive, there is a longer period where money is raised, and then NHP are done. Then more money raising. Then a first clinical trial. More money raising. An expanded second clinical trial. More money raising. A third clinical trial. More money is raised to apply for a license. Years pass while the FDA reviews the data. And only after approval is manufacture begun. With the Covid vaccines, after success in the first clinical trials, manufacture began. So when approval was granted, the vaccines could be shipped. That parallel process, and the lack of waiting for money, is why these vaccines were developed more rapidly. They actually were the most researched vaccines ever released, not the least.

  1959.  @VIi726  Liking or not liking tonal music are different viewpoints. Disagreeing with proven scientific knowledge, and pushing quack cures, is lying to a vulnerable public. That's the thing about science, hypothesis must be proved, data is more important than feelings or beliefs. Claiming that proven safe and effective vaccines are dangerous or useless, while pushing dangerous and useless quack cures, when all data proves you wrong, should not be allowed. It harms the public good.

When people were asked about a few individual parts of the bill, without the price, they often had a positive response. When the same people were told of everything in the bill, and told the price, they had a negative response. We shouldn't be told the result of a poll, without knowing how the questions were asked.

  2017. Ok, he seems good on first read, and the fact he lived a while in Canada, gives him some democratic bone fides. But, on closer inspection, he's not that terrific. He identifies as far right. He has promised to continue Orban's border severe borders policies to keep out non-Christians. He has uttered numerous anti-Semitic and homophobic remarks, including insulting a reporter, Dániel Bohár, by calling him a homosexual Jew, trying to discredit Orban by showing a photo of him in front of a menorah, and saying the current Hungarian government is gay. When he was asked to clean up after some of his remarks, he made things worse by saying "It always ends at the best part. I’m excited for next week’s episode because maybe we’ll find out whether there are more Jews or gays in Fidesz." So, maybe he'd be less authoritarian and horrible than Orban, but then again, maybe not. Yikes, what a choice! I had a friend in Budapest, who ran the local harkadah. I hope she's made aliyah, and no longer lives in Hungary.

It also decreases the amount of virus produced, and greatly shortens the amount of time virus is spread. Of course it reduces the amount of virus spread by the infected individual, a great deal. Also, it has not been proven that omicron is produces less severe infection, in the unvaccinated. Because its epitopes evade some immunity, immune individuals are becoming infected, and they have milder symptoms.

  2060. I grew up in rural California. It was a very conservative place. He promises his constituents a very important thing, water. There has been a struggle for water between the cities and agricultural areas for at least a century. Agriculture consumes four times the water as much water as all other uses, but the ranchers and farmers are never happy. Drive through rural California, and many of the fields and orchards have political placards about their need for water. Why do you think that Trump made that bizarre statement about water going into the Pacific? It was a shout out to his little henchman, Nunes. As long as Nunes strives to get even more of California's water for his people, they will continue to vote for him. Incidentally, where I grew up the group of people demonized for being stupid were the Portuguese. As in 'how many portugees does it take to screw in ...'.

That protest was grassroots and student led, organized though social media by the Ukrainian people. Then Yanukovych had his thugs attack the peaceful protestors, murdering many, and all the Ukrainian people organized to help them with food, warm clothes and medical aid. Clergy, from Christian, Jewish and Muslim communities, assisted in the protest. And as soon as Putin's puppet fled to Russia, in February 2014, the Russian army invaded. Ukraine has had several democratically elected presidents since then, Zelensky in 2019. Who was president of the US then? It wasn't Obama.

They did not apply the rules of order to themselves, giving themselves extra time to speak but cutting the Democrats off. They would ask a very misleading question, then not allow Strzok to answer. They claimed his not answering a question, because it pertained to an ongoing investigation, was lying. They misrepresented facts, but would not let the truth out. The only interruptions by the Democrats were constant pleas to maintain the rules of order. But the Republican chair was not going to allow a fair hearing. He was there to preside over a kangaroo court, and so he did.

  2077.  @nickk4895  Only six states have banned child marriages. In the remaining 44 states, a young girl can be married to a much older man, if the parents permit. The worst case that I heard of was a girl who was raped at age 9, gave birth at age 10, and was married to her rapist at 11. Because a minor cannot initiate a legal proceeding, she could not divorce him. By the time she turned 18, and was allowed to divorce him, she had six children. It was her case that convinced the Florida legislature to ban child marriages.

Most patients did better going to a goodwife, who treated people with herbs, not leeches. Rue was commonly used, to terminate an unwanted pregnancy.

Yes, Amazon, and other internet retailers, has been the demise of many retailers, just like the advent of the automobile did in many livery services.

Also the EU countered with tariffs on our good. And the WTO fined us. Now, this idiot puts a tariff on steel and aluminium.

  2111.  @trendingindianreaction5763  It's the story of the Little Red Hen, all over again. When India decided to produce their own vaccine, why were they so short sighted, that they did not build up the manufacturing for the needed materials, like the US and Europe did? European and American vaccine manufacturers need all those supplies themselves. You cannot expect us to put your needs before ours. This is the problem with an international supply chain, when there is shortage, the country of origin keeps what it needs. India is an advanced country, with a well developed bio-pharm industry, and could easily have started manufacture of the needed supplies. Early in the pandemic, the US learned that lesson, when the PPE from China was no longer exported to us. Why didn't Modi pay attention, and ramp up the manufacture of biobags, filters, etc.? I'm sorry that you are suffering, but you have only yourselves to blame.

Live tanuki were kept and sold in both wet markets. 3. All the original cases clustered around Wuhan's two wet markets, which are on the other side of the river from the lab. None of the early cases were on the lab side of the river.

We have to stop demonizing the other side, and trust that most people are decent, even the ones we don't agree with. But, we should make sure the Electoral Count Act is changed, so no substitute slate of electors can be sent to Congress. Since there is bipartisan agreement on this, it can be done, even in an evenly divided Congress. I assume only the Trumpists and 'progressives' will vote against it.

  2153.  @Saleigh  This virus is transmitted through fomites. (Look it up.) You know how when you go outside on a cold day, you see your breath. Those are minute droplets, and we exhale those every time we breathe out. Those droplets settle on surfaces, and when someone touches them, they pick up the virus. If you wear a mask, those droplets are contained within the mask, and no fomites are left to contaminate the next person. And sure, hand washing reduces transmission, but do you wash your shoes when you enter your home. If those droplets (from an unmasked cretin) drop to the floor, the next person can pick them up and contaminate their car or home. Mask allow gases to pass (like oxygen and carbon dioxide) but keep in particles as large as droplets. And learn to punctuate, so that you sound less like a tweeker.

In the 60's we were warned this would happen if we didn't stop polluting the environment. Experts have been expecting this for decades, and tried to get people to stop pumping so much carbon into the atmosphere. Even Republicans realized the danger, used to try to protect the environment. But, some people were too greedy, and made up this nonsense that we don't know what is causing it. Now climate change denial has become a Republican mantra. Trump may not have caused this fire, but his attitude towards the environment will cause the environment to continue to get even worse.

If I'd been a Republican, I'd have started taping every phone conversation I had with another politician. I'm sure that Liz Cheney is the source of this bit of audio. And she had every right to record her own conversations. I really doubt the government is listening in, as that sort of warrant is difficult to obtain.

The more you push people, regardless of how vulnerable you think they are, the more they will think you have nefarious motives. If you vaccinate along racial lines, you will just create suspicion.

  2179. A parliamentary system accommodates a multitude of parties better. If one party does not have a majority of seats, they have to form a coalition, and the smaller parties thus get more power.

  2186. While voter suppression is a horrible thing, there is no proof it changes the outcome of an election. Typically, we have low voter turnout from apathy, rather than suppression. Often, when people realize others are trying to take the vote from them, they become more determined to vote, and voter turnout rises in the very groups being suppressed. The real danger is what Trump tried, but failed, to do. Have Republican legislatures send a slate of electors they chose rather than the electors the voters chose. Several states, with Republican legislatures, have already passed laws to allow them to do this next time. That is why the Electoral Count Act must be changed now, so the cannot do that.

  2188.  @SMS2884  Our northern neighbor, Canada, has sensible gun laws, requiring education and a license to buy a firearm suitable for hunting, and more education, stricter testing and proof of adequate storage to buy a pistol or semi-automatic weapon.

  2191.  @josm1481  No, the Colosseum was the smaller of the ancient Roman arenas, and did not have the infrastructure (cages and chutes) for animal exhibits. Those took place in what is now Vatican City. Incidentally, the Colosseum was built by Jewish (not Christian slaves), using funds stolen from the temple in Jerusalem, when Rome sacked and burned down the place. They killed 1,100,00 Jews in the process, and enslaved even more. And more Jewish slaves, forced to become gladiators, died than Christians did, in the Colosseum. If the Colosseum is an affront to any people, it is the Jews, not Christians.

  2197. My first job, out of college, was coding for a bank. There were four General Automation mini computers (not the IBM mainframes) that ran all transactions, the banking terminal systems, ATMs, wire transfers, and data entry systems. When the load on those computers became too great, some 'genius' had the bright idea of increasing speed by stripping out the check sum digit. Result, two or three times a night, as the batch processing moved the collected day's transactions to the IBM mainframes, there were errors. The operators had to dump the relevant file, and the six of us, who knew GA assembly language, had to figure out what had gone wrong. And floppy disks were much more modern than what we were using. We had to boot the computers by punching in a code on the control panel, to read in a paper tape, that initialized the system so that the code, on punch cards, could be read. We used reel to reel tape for most data storage, and the only random access memory was on humungous 10 MB disk packs. This was in 1981. I asked where the backup computer was, and was shown a large room, filled with vacuum tubes. When I asked where the computer was, I was told I was standing in it. A TCAM to VCAM conversion, which was just switching to a more modern communication protocol, on the mainframes, took two of us over half a year. Switching to a different type of chipset, with a different O/S that doesn't use JCL, is going to take years.

Suddenly, you couldn't get treated if you had a real emergency, there were so many people waiting for treatment of chronic conditions. The state went broke paying for it.

  2202. As a grandmother with a degree in microbiology from UCLA, I agree with you. I made sure my children were vaccinated for everything I could, even though I had to pay out of pocket. My grandchildren are also fully vaccinated.

Pity Kennedy is less intelligent than they are.

If you were old enough, you would have experienced a time when good Christians thought it was against their beliefs to serve a black person. While it is fine for any establishment to refuse service to a person for being high, improperly dressed, or questionable hygiene, it is a discriminatory to deny service for what a person is. There are sections of the Torah (old testament) that require separation of lepers. Would it be fine to deny service to someone with Hansen's disease today?

And it's not to have a "buffer zone" but to continue to control the stolen warm sea port in Crimea, and to prevent the Russian people seeing a free democracy on their border. Putin isn't worried that anyone will invade Russia from Ukraine, but that Ukraine will give the Russian people ideas about overthrowing his dictatorship.

Many of those who died were elderly (who comprise 14.5% of their population) or diabetic (15.7% of the population), had other chronic diseases or became ill due to contaminated water. Once again, it is a very reasonable number; and it is based on statistical data of the excess of certified deaths compared to previous years, not conjecture.

The same with sports, programming ability, etc. etc. Those who are in the top percentile have no need to advertise.

Scientifically speaking, sexual reproduction's biggest survival advantage is the ability to recombine genes, and hopefully produce more fit individuals. Thus, those biracial individuals you disparage, are likely genetically more fit than you are.

It is very obvious that the data coming out of Russian clinical trials, the few that were performed was doctored. That is why neither the FDA , EDA, CDC or WHO accept it. The main reason that Sputnik V is not recognized as a vaccine is that it is so very ineffective, as proven by the fact that countries that relied on it, have extremely high case loads. And, just because someone is doing their job, is not an excuse for ignoring the rules. Stop spewing bile, and realize the man lied, and should be deported for that lie, and banned from entry into Australia for three years, like would happen to any other person who foreswore himself on an official immigration document.

Vice crimes cannot be stopped by legislation, and have no victims, get rid of vice laws. Do as many states have done with cannabis. Legalize all drugs and sell them in state run stores that tax them. This will both reduce crime, which would help reduce our prison population, and bring in revenue. It also would take away drug cartels' profits. Also, legalize prostitution so that sex workers are protected from disease and violent customers. That would also reduce revenue to mobs.

  2297. Property is taken from people all the time. The kid borrows the family car, and buys some drugs, and the police take the family car and sell it at auction. Eminent Domain is used to take people's property all the time. Ranchers lost parts of their grazing land, to build that stupid wall. In Portland, in the 1950s, the entire Jewish section of town was taken, ostensibly to build a freeway, that was actually built elsewhere. Then the seized property was sold, for bargain prices, to developers. People who are moving from one part of the country to another, close out their bank accounts, and travel with all their money as cash. If the cops pull them over, they say having that much cash is proof they are dealing drugs, and confiscate the money. Then it is up to the person, who the cops ripped off, to prove it did not come from drug sales. The government really rips people off all the time. Losing a gun, when you're dangerous seems like weak tea.

However, studies are shown you can get a booster with one of the mRNA vaccines, and get an even stronger immune response than with one type of vaccine alone. It's too late for her, but you might keep that in mind. There is a lot of nonsense out there, which is why I like listening to TWiV, which has panels of genuine research virologists, not antivax BS artists.

  2317. If you want real information, from virologists, you can listen to TWiV, who go through several scientific papers each session. One paper showed the virus can remain in the testes and eyes for months. This is because the immune system is far less active, in those organs. It is not a herpesvirus, and become latent, waiting in your nervous system. And, since nasal mucosal tissue contains a lot of IgA, it would not stay in your nasal mucosa.

  2322.  cj p  If there was no communication, how did Manafort (at the time Trump's campaign manager) give Oleg Deripaska his polling data? How did they conduct the business of initiating a Trump Tower in Moscow? I saw Trump communicate with Russia on national TV, did you not hear it too? Yes, they did not investigate collusion, because there is no statute against it. But, the report did show evidence for it, and also stated the reason they could not prove conspiracy was much of the communication between Trump's team and Russia was deleted.

Of course the painting is of a European, but don't try to claim Jews are non-white. There is nothing wrong with being non-white, but we are white.

  2353. When I was getting my degree in microbiology, I took an epidemiology seminar course. It was lead by this Rockefeller fellow, Telford Work, who had traveled all over the world, even Nazi Germany, determining how various epidemics got started, and how to stop them.(Some of this work was done prior to antibiotics.) He set up a retrovirus pandemic scenario, with every student portraying a different government's response team leader. (Lucky me, I got to be the USSR, the country with the worst medical infrastructure. A country where all medical research had been perverted by a false belief in Lysenko's theory of evolution.) Every time we thought we had it contained, he threw a new outbreak at us. In the end, we lost a third of the world's population. (When HIV started showing its ugly head (called GRID then) all of us, that had been involved in that scenario, got out of work that would expose us to blood.) Covid-19 isn't a retrovirus, but it is taking a course a lot like the one Dr. Work put us through hell with, although faster and less lethal. I sure hope it has a better ending.

  2357. @Johnny Mill Sanders is generally wrong, too. He blamed all the illegals, crossing into the US, on Wall Street. He often said the US should be just like the USSR. He was pro-Stalin, pro-Chavez, pro-Sandanista, pro-Castro. Both Paul and Sanders make outrageous statements, that should best be ignored.

  2358. When Sanders was temporarily ahead, you didn't act like he was a David. Why are you so angry that Democrats prefer a Democrat? Maybe they realize the Marxist who said, "I favor the public ownership of utilities, banks and major industries" would be as bad as Trump.

  2359.  Yung_KW#2  Hezbollah invaded Christian neighborhoods, and shot at residents. Some residents shot back. If you're armed, you aren't a protestor, you're a combatant. Why did they have to enter a Christian neighborhood for their armed "protest". Why did they attack schools, little children, elderly people? And what was the 'protest' about? A judge was investigating those terrible explosions, that blew up the port of Beirut. That's sus.

  2384. So women and girls wanting abortions, in Israel, don't have to ask a committee for permission? And wasn't only recently that there had to be at least one female, on that committee? As far as healthcare, my guy got better healthcare in Oregon, courtesy of the ACA, than he gets from Klalit. He had to go outside his Kupat Cholim, and use his own money to get the care at Hadassa Ein Keren, that he couldn't get at Soroka.

My daughter's first son didn't latch well, so she pumped, and put her milk in a bottle, for him. And mothers breastfed their children, for as long as there have been humans. Nobody, in my family, ever used formula, because we all came from medical and science backgrounds. We knew that breastmilk is the best food for an infant.

  2387. There is a big difference from hiring a foreign national for legal investigation (especially from a friendly country like the UK) and accepting help stealing data from a hostile power.

I don't know what you mean by a temperature being defined, but water is a solid at or below 0C, and a gas at or above 100C. Between those two temperatures it is a liquid. (At or around sea level.) That is well defined.

That is not to say all right wingers are fascist (see the foiled German coup to restore the monarchy), but all fascists are right wing. All socialists are left wing.

And they have opened their skies again, but only to fully vaccinated tourists. Just like the US, Israel has borders, some protected, some not, and coastline where naval traffic can enter. The only difference was a massive drive to vaccinate the population, as soon as vaccines were available. They contracted to buy more than enough doses, at premium rates. The EU did not do as well, as they were looking for bargain prices. First, Israel started with hospital staff, and those in old age homes. Then the kupat cholim vaccinated everyone over 60, Jew and Arab alike. Then they dropped the age to over 50, and continued like that, until everyone over 16 could get vaccinated. They vaccinated guest workers, and illegal aliens, and anyone coming into the country. They offered bribes of cholent, and other delicacies, to vaccine hesitant individuals. It was not because of borders, but because of intense efforts, that they were the first country, in the world, to have more than half of their population vaccinated. And, today, the mask requirements, in outdoor areas were dropped, because of their success.

Anyone who has even a inkling of economics, knows throwing unbacked money into the system heats it up, causes a weaker currency and inflation. Now is the time to settle the economic system back down, not further aggravate the situation with a massive spending bill, that only helps a small segment of the population. This horrible bill only help current parents, not people who've chosen to not have children, or those whose children are grown. It will hurt the poor and the old the most, because those are the ones most devastated by inflation.

Time to draw back to the center, and make the majority of people happy.

  2430.  @GLM69  Clearly you don't know what is in the bill, when you also claim this has nothing to do with IDs. A person should not be able to just assert who they are, and whether or not they are a citizen, to register to vote. This bill goes against what 80% of the country, who think one must show an ID to register.

And, with the changes Republican led state legislatures have made in voting rules, he stands a very good chance of winning.

  2435. If Fetterman were an honest man, who put what was best for the state ahead of his own ego, he would have quit the race when he had his stroke. Or, at the very least, let voters know about his stroke before the primary. Instead, he waited until he just barely beat Conor Lamb, by pretending to be a man of the people, instead of the trust fund baby he is. Due to Fetterman's dishonesty, Pennsylvania is stuck with choosing between a man who cannot perform a senator's job, and one who shouldn't. No matter how the media tries to spin this, you can't make gold from a turd. Just write in the best man for the job, Conor Lamb.

  2455.  @JohnDoe-rk7ej  How exactly is something, that never goes near your genes, gene therapy? Of course it is a vaccine. It presents antigens to the immune system, without the dangers of infection, to evoke an immune response. That is exactly what a vaccine is. And mRNA vaccines were developed against the original SARS outbreak, so it's not the "first of its kind". Just because you're ignorant of the facts, doesn't mean they don't exist.
    3
  2456.  @chocbear8394  People who've been vaccinated are not "landing sick in the hospital". Take a look at the stats, 99% of those so sick they require hospitalization, are unvaccinated, and the other 1% does not have a functioning immune system.

  2457.  @ilikefreespeech3565  Yes, at an event where 96% were fully vaccinated, 74% of those, who tested positive for Covid were vaccinated. Most were asymptomatic, none of the vaccinated required hospitalization. That shows the vaccine works.
    3
  2458.  @ThomasBrunkard  Jenner discovered vaccination (using the vaccinia virus to protect against variola). Inoculation had been used since about the 8th century. The problem with inoculation, was it had around a 9% fatality rate, which was still better than contracting smallpox. Cowpox never killed humans.

  2461.  @KamalasVACANTwomb  In many diseases, especially bacterial ones, naturally acquire immunity is stronger and more lasting than artificially acquired immunity, but the opposite is true with Covid. The immune response the mRNA vaccines induce are broader than from infection, so more protective against new strains. Of course, the best immunity is found in individuals who recovered from Covid, and then were vaccinated. As to the vaccinated wearing masks, while they don't get as ill as the unvaccinated, and don't transmit even a fifth of the virus and unvaccinated person would, the vaccinated can still spread some virus. And we have individuals in our community, too young to be vaccinated. So only a selfish prick would go unmasked, even if vaccinated. And only a fool considers three an infinite amount.

You're given a driver's license to demonstrate you have some basic competency in driving, but having a driver's license does not completely prevent automobile accidents. The same is true of demonstrating you've educated your immune system against the virus. It does not prevent all transmission, but does prevent most.

Read some foreign news. Morons abound.

It was bad enough before the Supreme Court decided that corporations are people, with the same rights as citizens, and money is the same as speech (Citizens United). We need to abolish soft PAC money, ban paid lobbyists, and reform campaign finance (severe limits on amount of money a campaign can spend). We also have ensure that all citizens can vote by giving all citizens a chipped national photo ID card. And, we need an amendment to chance the method of selecting the president to a popular vote and require districting to be straightforward rather than gerrymandered.

It is not "leftist" policies that screwed up black families, but poverty. After the CIvil War, black people were allowed to participate fully and did well, for a few short years. Then the Jim Crow laws came in. Blame them, and how slavery broke up families for how poorly black people have fared, not the policies designed to correct the problems. And don't act like poverty doesn't screw up whites too. As for "useful idiot", that describes Trump perfectly.

I felt like I was again undergoing chemotherapy. The vaccine finally cleared up the long Covid, I'd been suffering from. Good for you, being vaccinated. Imagine how bad it would have been, if you'd not been. I'm glad you didn't have to endure what I did. I've been keeping my immunity up-to-date, because I spend time with my infant grandson, and my guy has a lot of comorbidities.

If you really were a survivor of sexual violence, you'd know that victims often suppress memories until they are strong enough to deal with them. As to not remembering exactly which house it was, 15 year olds don't drive. She probably got a ride, which would explain her not remembering the location. She does remember details, like the staircase. Her story is very credible.But she knew how difficult it is for victims to be believed. While considering whether she should come forward, she went to a lawyer who had her take the polygraph.Your doubting her makes me sure that you are lying about being assaulted.

  2559.  @idahonative373  First, even the mRNA vaccines are 95%, not 100% effective. That means 1 in 20, who are fully vaccinated, can still allow the virus to replicate. Unless we want to run antibody tests, on all vaccinated individuals, we don't know who can still transmit the virus. So, even those fully vaccinated should continue wearing a mask, until we reach herd immunity. Second, I'm sure, if we were told only those who are fully vaccinated can go around with out a mask, there would be unvaccinated jerks, who would take advantage of that. We could either have vaccine police, out on the streets, stopping everyone to see their vaccine papers, to catch such scofflaws, or just all continue to wear masks, regardless of vaccine status.

There are also accepted, if they have a postmark on or before election day, but most have not arrived at elections boards yet. The problem is not that it takes a while, to count every vote, but creeps who imply there is something wrong with that.

How convenient it is for Sanders, that after legitimate allegations of real sexual harassment and inequality on his last campaign, he finds a member of his staff to make bogus complaints against Biden. Sanders played dirty last time, accepting Russian help, and is doing it again. Biden didn't corner her and plant a kiss on her mouth. He didn't feel her up. He didn't expose himself to her. He didn't say put out or you're finished. He didn't even pat her on the butt. She claims he kissed the top of her head, to encourage her, like you do a small child. That just isn't sexual harassment. Sanders and Flores should be ashamed of themselves. This is really low.

Only the man's ambitions mattered, and families would move, if he found a better job elsewhere. It didn't matter that it took the wife away from a job she enjoyed, or her friends and family. Only the man's feelings mattered, and women's were dismissed as hysterical. If they felt unfulfilled, they were belittled, or institutionalized. I'd think your new-found insight, into how society makes light of traditional female roles, would enlighten you. Instead you seem angry and bitter. If you're doing your jobs well, take pride in the fact you're a good househusband and parent. Instead of whining about how badly you feel, remember women have felt like you do, until this century. Work to bring more recognition to job, of maintaining a home, and caring for children. You should get social security, the same as someone who brings home a paycheck, as your work is also valuable, if unpaid. Become a warrior, working for recognition of how valuable you, and the countless of men, and mostly women, who do the work you now find yourself doing, are.

Another rule is, if civilians are fleeing, you don't purposely attack them. And a fifth is, do not use chemical or biological weapons.

Even western European countries have more neonazis, than Ukraine, Russia certainly has a lot more. The problem is Russia has equated Ukrainian nationalism, a desire to remain a democratic country, with Nazism.

  2619. Since all the vaccines are aimed at one of the two proteins in the spike, and there is only one point mutation in one molecule so far, it doesn't matter. Since the spike has to fit with the ACE-2 receptor, it can't mutate too much and still work. So any antibodies against the spike should continue to be effective. Any mutation that could evade the antibodies produced by the vaccine will render the virion incapable of entering a host cell.

  2655. Raiding someone's home, and taking their child away, could be considered "tantamount to torture", but that is not what happened. People illegally entered our country, but the courts said they couldn't instantly be deported, if they had minors, so they were held. The immigration courts also couldn't process the immense load, so they were held a long time. Then the courts said children couldn't be held so long in detention. This was under Obama, not Trump. So the "families" were allowed to disperse throughout the country, and told to show up for their court date. Many did not. Trump got angry, and started instantly separating the children. But, he wasn't going into their country, removing the children. Nobody forced them to come here illegally. Sure, Trump was an insensitive jerk, one of the worst humans ever, but the real fault lies with the courts that decided minors could not be instantly deported or held with their families.

Undoubtedly with far less restraint than Israel has shown.

Of course, it may have seemed easy to me because I'd already taken biochemistry, so understood how neural transmitters worked. Too many people get psych degrees without understanding how the body works. If you really did, you'd realize she is a scam artist, just like every psychic or medium that is investigated. She is a fraud who pushes dangerous anti-vaccination ideas. And since my BA was in microbiology (and yes it required calculus) I know how tragic the result of pushing her crackpot ideas could be.

  2715.  @MrHobbesandlocke  That is because, at that time, there was no US army and navy. Private citizens served that role. The second amendment clearly states, that in order to preserve the "security of a free state" a "well regulated militia" had to exist, and those militia members had the "right to bear arms". Today, as the state has army, navy, air force, and even space force, there is no need for private citizens to serve in that manner.

Now that it is a Republican, and the investigation has found multiple crimes committed by those around Trump, the idea that this productive investigation should be ended is absurd. Mueller is working his way up the ladder, I am willing to wait 4 years for evidence of Trump's crimes, just like the GOP waited for Ken Starr to finish. Calls by Trump's cronies to prematurely end the investigation, which an honest Congress could use to impeach, are signs they know Trump is guilty.

  2748. If China wants to take over the high end tech market, they are have to learn the importance of QA. Sure, China produces crappy items cheaply, but they are ill made. Plastic toys or baby products are so poorly cast, that you have to file down the burrs to make them work. Buying subcomponents, for circuit boards prototypes, we always had to buy extra, because a third just didn't work, while European or American subcomponents and IC chips all worked. My guy, who is a biochemist, worked for a Chinese gene product manufacturer, and half the time, the antibodies reacted to the wrong antigens, because disposable labware was reused and the product was contaminated. And, unlike European and American gene product producers, they never checked to see if the proteins sold, were the ones they were supposed to be. Sometimes, when clients expected a full protein, the product they received was only half translated. Until Chinese manufacturers stop cutting corners, and start checking for quality, they will never take over the high tech or bio-tech market.

  2761.  Nijha Realzola  A lot is due to laziness, or the malaise of futility, but a lot of voter apathy can be laid at the feet of voter suppression and the Electoral College. When you feel your vote for president doesn't matter, and many who don't live in swing states feel that way, why bother voting for down ballot candidates? And when your vote is being actively suppressed, even if you want to vote, you may not be able to. Here, in Oregon, where we all vote by mail, all the time, we have a much greater voter turnout than the rest of the country, even for piddling elections. When everyone votes by mail, it is difficult to suppress the minority vote, by having fewer polling places in their communities, or closing their polls early. We had a much greater voter turnout, in 2020, than is usual. Some of that may be due to a more riled up populace, but a lot of it is due to the ease of getting absentee ballots in a pandemic year.

  2780.  @martincopeland8153  I realize your grasp of US history is a bit weak. So I will remind you that the Intolerable Acts were not just about overly high taxes. What upset Colonists the most, was the requirement that all imported goods must come from England. That we were not allowed to bring in goods from nearer, and cheaper sources, or go directly to Asia, but everything had to go through England. This made importation overly pricey, and often the British goods were inferior. And, then there was the fact British soldiers could evict people from their homes, and use them as a barracks, without reason or recompense.

  2781. Scott is correct. What really happened is: 1. The press asked Trump why he hadn't called the families of the dead - after several days. 2. Trump said he would soon, and made up a total lie that Obama and Bush never had called families, and that he was the first president to make such calls, and spoke of the death of Kelly's son, which Kelly didn't want done. 3. Since he did this on camera, decent people were upset. 4. He belatedly made the calls, but insulted the wife of the black serviceman where it could be overheard by the Congresswoman who had mentored the dead soldier. 5. The Congresswoman let the world know what had happened. 6. Trump called her a liar. 7. The Congresswoman's story was verified, so we all knew Trump lied, again. 8. Kelly had do damage control.

Our intelligence agencies, and cyber security experts, have all informed us of several Russian cyber incursions. Recognition of who has attacked you is not blaming, it is identification. Only someone incredibly deluded does not think Russia is a threat. Seek mental help.

There only "peace treaty" between Israel and the Arabs occupying Judah and Shomron, was Oslo. 5. We still need to reform immigration policy. 6. The only bail reform was local, not federal. 7.

Most are found in animals, some cause the common cold. Human vaccine trials take over a year. Selective quarantine can flatten the infection curve, antivirals can treat those seriously ill. But, in order to quarantine selectively, we need know who is infected, which means we need to test wide samples of the US population.

He is a professor of virology at Columbia University, and have very informative videos, where recent scientific papers are discussed. His Friday talk with Dr. Daniel Griffin, discussed this very problem. First, the idea that Omicron is less lethal has not been proven true. Second, Omicron seems to evade immunity due to prior infection, even more than it evades immunity due to vaccination.

But, orthodox Jews, in government, never try to impose these ways on others. Israel will never mandate covering up, unlike Amanpour's native Iran, or Saudi Arabia. They are more like the Amish and Mennonite, in the US, they keep to their ways, but don't require others to follow them.

  2864.  @howecreative  Having raised two children to adulthood, it's not as simple as you describe. After a kid goes through puberty, peer pressure is stronger than any parental deterrent. You have to lay in a moral base before a child reaches twelve. It's much easier to be a permissive parent, even though that is detrimental to the development of a moral human. If both parents work, the raising of children, and instilling of a moral code, is left to nannies and teachers. Many parents don't realize their child doesn't have a firm moral and emotional grounding, until it is too late. And then there are the parents that don't even try.

  2875. The only person, who destroyed Walker, is Walker himself. Democrats didn't force him to impregnate lots of women, and coerce some into having abortions. This reminds me of when Clarence Thomas, called the legitimate hesitancy, to make a sexual predator a Supreme Court justice, a "modern day lynching". Black men shouldn't be held to a higher standard, than white men. But, they shouldn't be held to a lower standard, either. Imagine if this were some white douchebag, who had knocked up a bunch of women, talked several into abortions, then proclaimed that abortion should be legally banned, even in cases of rape, incest, or life of the mother.
    2
  2876.  @vonsuthoff  Trying to burn down the Federal Courthouse, is not just a "street attack", it is an attack on our institutions just as the insurrection was. And the BLM riots were no little "street attacks", they involved a lot of racist attacks. Every synagogue in Portland, Seattle, Los Angeles and Chicago was vandalized by BLM goons. And the Portland Chabad was burned down. Any group that claims to fight racism, by attacking a more oppressed group, is disingenuous.

  2878. Netanyahu was ahead in the polls before this announcement. The foundation of Israel was so that the Muslims could no longer occupy Jewish land and oppress them with dhimmi laws.

  2881.  @inquisitorsteele8397  Why did al Assad invite such murderous regimes in? To assist in his ethnic cleansing of the Kurds and the Sunni majority. Al Assad is a member of a Shiia minority, the Alawites, who have brutally oppressed the Sunni majority for a century. He got aid from Russia, who does anything it can, to have access to warm water ports, and the Shiia Iranians. This is just a continuation of the Shiite vs. Sunni aggression that has been going on, since the death of their prophet.

An estimated 7.8% of individuals were hardcore smokers (9.7% among males and 6% among females), which translates into 33.1% of all smokers in Italy." Perhaps Italian women do better because less of them have lungs trashed by smoking.

  2887. Wow, Zakaria shows a complete and total ignorance of what is happening in Israel. Netanyahu is not a populist. Most populists are very recent additions to their country's political scene. Netanyahu, upon forming his coalition, will be the longest serving PM in Israel's history. People again voted for him, not because they feared change, but because they recognized that he has been the best PM ever for the interests of the people. The economy has grown and the country is safer. He has proved his ability to form coalitions of parties with disparate interests, which an amazing cat herding ability. He can get along difficult men, like Trump and Putin. Netanyahu is a statesman in the class of Churchill. Trying to cast him as a populist demagogue only shows one's lack of comprehension of the situation.

He won because he listened to voters concerns. And the Democratic response to his win, was to call all those who voted for him racist. Rural schools are academically worse than inner-city schools, and Democrats never discuss this disparity. Republicans will keep addressing local concerns, and most Democrats will keep ignoring reality, and calling them racist. Which is the winning approach?

The same cannot be said about the variants that have arisen in the US, yet.

  2914. No amendment gives an individual the right to bear arms either. Only members of a "well regulated militia", that is protecting state security, the National Guard, is given that right. It was SCOTUS, who in 2008, extended that right to every nutcase that wants a gun. You think they wouldn't extrapolate the second amendment to cover ammunition?

  2919.  @dggydddy59 The OP is clearly not gifted in mathematics. Even so, what is wrong with inclusion, and celebrating white people, native Americans, Jews, and other Asians, as well as black people and Hispanics. Wouldn't it be better to have a month where everyone's heritage is celebrated, for their contributions to the country, than to single out just one or two groups. Also, I've never heard of an "gifted English class". They are usually called AP English, and admittance is based upon performance, not IQ. So the entire story reeks of fabrication.

  2921. The company I was working for in 1984, offered to move me to Windsor, provide my family with a company row house and a company car, complete with petrol card, when I became pregnant with my first daughter. Then I could have used the company creche, and continued writing computer code for them. I wish I had ignored my husband's wishes, and taken the offer. Not only would my intelligent daughter grown up to have an English accent, but my contribution as computer programmer would have been easier to make. Plus, my children would not live in a country that stripped away their basic human rights, just because they are female.

  2931. Regardless of gender or skin tone, not being a knee-jerk Marxist dupe does not make one a corporate stooge. Your groupthink demands are absolutely Orwellian. BTW An IPSOS poll shows only 23% of voters agree his nominee should be a black woman. The vast majority of the country wants a justice chosen for their abilities, not because they tick the right boxes.

  2932. Some countries have laws that require gun owners to keep them locked up when not in use, with only the permitted owner having the key or combination.

  2946.  @gerald5175  How is allowing Nazis to speak about killing us all, or let pro-Arab students speak about killing us all, any different?

  2949.  @Tomas_Pita  That all sounds nice, until you see it in action. First, people invested in those oil companies, so they could find the oil, and drill for it. Much of those investments are their retirement funds. If you seize oil production, their retirement money is lost. Second, if you look at socialist countries, like Venezuela, who did seize and operate oil companies, oil production went down. Often the engineers, and other experts, are replaced with party loyalists, who have no expertise. Proper maintenance is no longer done, investments in new technologies are not made, and production all but ceases. There is a reason that all free countries, who chose to nationalize oil production, later privatized it again. Your idea is a lose/lose situation.

  2974. In 2000, after the Supreme Court gave the presidency to Bush II, they kept counting the votes in Florida. It turned out that Gore really had won that state, and thus the presidency. Bush wasn't turned out of office. Even if the impossible happens, and enough votes are "found" to make it seem Trump really had won, Biden will not be turned out of the White House. It's over, and to think otherwise is just lunacy.

  2977. That any person can live through the current pandemic, observing how the virus mutates, and gives rise to new variants, and not believe in evolution, is dumbfounding. Because viral replication takes place in hours, not decades, as human reproduction does, we can observe evolution that takes millions of years for humans, occur in a few months, for a virus. By sequencing the viral variants, we can easily determine which variant gave rise to the next, and see that evolution is a branching tree, not linear. There was an evolutionary biologist, who believed humans were created de novo, without evolving from another species. His name was Trofim Lysenko , and following his ill conceived ideas held back Soviet biology and medicine a full century. If fools like Walker get to dictate what may be taught in schools, the US education system will be even more backwards, than it is now.

  2979. You might have a compromised immune system, which means the vaccine might not work as well for you. But, there are no medical conditions that preclude any of the mRNA vaccines. If you have underlying conditions, that should encourage you to get vaccinated, not stay vulnerable. Anyone who does not get vaccinated should be shamed, and kept out of public.

  2980. Nah, sorry Mr. Tapper, credible scientists, in the relevant fields, don't hold with the crazy lab leak theory. One guy, Eddie Holmes, toyed with the idea, before seeing the actual genetic sequencing of the viruses in question. Now, he too, thinks it is a ludicrous idea. Unfortunately, ignoramuses picked up on Holmes' idea, before he had enough data to realize it was absurd.

    2
  2987.  @escutus  Cool, then the drug price reform should be its own separate bill. Then we'd see if Manchin would vote against it. The problem with this bill is, there were a few good parts, serving as a sugar coating for the inflationary bad majority of the bill. Only scumbags would write a bill like this. Manchin did us all a favor. Now it can be broken into logical components.

  2990.  @robertmanley2198  So, your wife left a totalitarian system, because of the horrors is committed. Good for her. But, the type of dictatorship, that arose in Cuba, has nothing to do with Pelosi, Biden, or the Democratic party. No real Democrat is communist, or even socialist. You should be pleased that the voters, of the USA, have rejected a would-be dictator, who would have loved to turn our country into a totalitarian state. There was no steal of the election, that is the big lie that Trump has been telling, with all the fervor of a Stalin, Hitler or Castro.

  2998.  @Ikukundu  The idea is not to have overwhelming forces stationed there. Instead, we should leave just enough men/women to provide technical and tactical support, to the Afghan army. It worked well in Syria, until Trump abandoned the Kurds. Now, Biden is abandoning the Afghans.

  2999. Wrong, Jews are also a people. Very few of us are converts, or the descendants of converts. That is why genetic testing can tell if you are Jewish, or of Jewish descent.

  3000. What damn bill? She came down, the Republicans refuse to . She wants to help the average citizen, the Republicans only care about big business. She sat with Mnuchin, and they came up with a plan together, then Trump acted like a big baby, and said he wouldn't compromise.
    2
  3001. This comparison really makes me angry. During the Holocaust children weren't being put into holding areas, given good food, schooling and play time. They were gassed to death. The US is not killing children. What we are doing isn't nice, but it isn't genocide. Hayden should be ashamed of himself for making such a ludicrous, hyperbolic comparison. Let us remember that the US turned away people fleeing genocide at that time. That we are even considering people who are claiming asylum, despite the fact their situation is not as dire, shows much more compassion than was shown victims of true genocide.

  3006. Once the election is over, and the president is sworn in, it's over. No new data could change that. Even when the 2000 recount, in Florida, showed Gore had actually won that state, and thus the Electoral College, Bush was not pulled out of the White House. There is no chance that Trump will replace Biden.

Any place, where the inhabitants can get clean water and uncontaminated food, will have far fewer deaths, and most children will live to adulthood. 120 years ago, the tenements and slums of the US, were also disgusting places, with poor hygiene. Don't berate people for living in squalid conditions. They didn't ask to live that. And, hopefully, they will soon get modern sanitation.

There were plenty of missiles in Cuba, what the objected to were, Soviet missiles with nuclear warheads. And. NATO is a defensive alliance, not a country. None of the NATO defenses involved nuclear missiles. But, as Russia has shown a propensity to conquer its neighbors, it is not surprising, those countries closest to Russia, want conventional defenses against Russian aggression.

  3020. Building a stupid, expensive wall, that bi-sects the property of landowners in the southwest and impedes wildlife migration, will do nothing about people who overstay their visas; and they are half of the illegals in this country. Wouldn't it be more intelligent and productive to address our immigration laws? We are the only developed country that automatically grants citizenship to people born here to illegal aliens. Rather than a useless, costly wall, Trump should encourage a Constitutional amendment requiring that one or both parents are here legally, for a child to be instantly granted US citizenship. That would get rid of the entire 'anchor baby' predicament and bring us in line with the rest of the world.

You clearly don't understand the meaning of the word genocide.

  3028.  @nerffej  Don't you see that choosing a less qualified candidate, just because they fill some quota, is just as racist as excluding a person, based on race? It's also weird that when racism was allowed, there was a strict quota limiting Jews in colleges. Yet, once affirmative action began, suddenly we were considered white. I find it disgusting, that when Thurgood Marshall retired, his replacement had to be black, but now a Jewish justice is retiring, his replacement doesn't have to be Jewish. Also, the Supreme Court was established in 1789. The first Jewish justice was confirmed in 1916, the first black justice in 1967, and the first woman in 1981. Thus it was only 127 years with just white men.

  3031. The idea of one person, one vote cannot exist with the Electoral College. Since we are all governed by our president, the fact that certain areas have more power per person than others is anti-democratic. In order to have fair elections, we must go to a popular vote. The fact that a popular vote will more power to cities than rural areas is only fair, because more people live in cities. The people should have the vote, not the region. Because urban residents realize how horribly unfair the present system is, it creates resentment and friction.

  3032. I'm sorry you live among selfish, inconsiderate cretins, who will not wear masks. Most of my neighbors are good people, but there is one guy, who keeps coming to everyone's door, and never wears a mask. I've gotten so, when he comes knocking, I don't answer. I'm tired of telling him to step back. I hope you and your kitties stay well.

    2
  3037. Whenever Trump claims a news source is fake, I know that they are dedicated to bringing the truth to light. No matter what Trump supporters may think, we have a free press in this country, and real news source (not Fox) vet what they report to ascertain its validity. He lies with such abandon that he can't abide the truth.

  3042. How can you refute what your opponent says, if you don't hear it. Is your viewpoint so logically fragile, that you dare not listen to a counterpoint to your beliefs? Your attitude is what has driven this country into two differing realities. This drive to deplatform those, you do not agree with, flies in the face of free speech. Who gets to decide who may, and may not, have a voice?

  3043. Ensuring that we have a healthy, well educated citizenry is promoting the general welfare. That is why most developed nations do so.
    2
  3044. What a piece of garbage this man is. Sure people are reacting to something they haven't seen, because the fact they have not been shown something, that the law requires them to be shown is troubling. And then he throws shade at the only Republican who has shown a conscience. As if a cretin like him would ever be any party's presidential candidate.
    2
  3045. This bill was not designed to be passed. It is democracy theater. A way to show "progressive" that their pipe dreams are respected. The real voting rights bill, that won't be thrown out by SCOTUS, HR4/S4 will pass.

  3046. This isn't about desperation, but entitlement. The more programs put in place, to help the homeless, the more they steal and vandalize.
    2
  3047. I'm looking forward to Trump and DeSantis trading insults. Neither man has any real policy platform, but instead rely upon performative nastiness. Trump will rip DeSantis, because his suits are too tight to move in, and DeSantis will rip Trump for the oversized suits and ties that Trump affects. From there, they can go on to each other's hair and wives. Forget about how they'd govern. It will be ugly, but amusing.

  3048. Probably for the reason they never cover the near constant missile attacks from Gaza. Or terrorist stabbings in Israel. It doesn't fit the narrative.

  3053.  @jarcusmercer6306  While in a perfect, or even near perfect, world Trump will lose, I would not count on it. If we (Democrats) chose a far left candidate, Trump will play the socialist card and win. Far too many Americans are more afraid of socialism than crime. And even if our candidate receive many, many more votes than Trump, he'll win if they are in the wrong states, just like with Sec. Clinton. We need to be strategic and get this crime boss out of the White House.

  3056. But, what if Democrats put up a lying demagogue, every bit as dangerous and anti-democratic as Trump, but less crass? If Democrats ran a person, who had ever espoused the state seizing and running the means of transportation, production and banks, who had been a member of the Communist party, and never met a left leaning autocrat they did not love, it would be hard to choose between two evil people. I think that is his point.
    2
  3057. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, or in this case, the sobriety of the beholder, because you'd have to be blind drunk to think this ugly thing should have commissioned. What a disgusting boondoggle! Whenever I see something this ugly, and useless, getting taxpayers hard earned money, that could be better spent on almost anything else, I wonder how big the kickback was.

  3058.  @eddiern  In the rural central coast California city, I grew up in, the people who hated "Mexicans" the most were the "Spanish" (Hildagos) who owned their ranch land, since Spanish land grant days. They called them mixed race (Mestizo), and looked down on them. And, as one of only five Jews, in my high school, I understand what it feels like to be of a marginalized group. The funny thing was, most of the Spanish, had last names like Lopez and Gutierrez, which are converso names.

  3068. Axelrod is usually good at analysis, but failed here. Newsom did appear to break his Covid restrictions, until you looked at the photos. The fancy, expensive restaurant had semi-outdoor dining, which was within the regulations, at the time. I'm sure Axelrod, as a former Obama staffer, has eaten at places, with a price that would anger us mere peasants.

  3070. At least she got tested. My mother was in the hospital for two weeks, with an unknown respiratory infection, and my brother died of an unknown respiratory infection. I had to deal with it on the phone, as I could not travel to them. I could not get the hospital to test my mother, or the coroner to test my brother. This was in late March, and they were only testing health care personnel.

  3074.  @AkPacerPilot  The study correlated stevia use with heart attacks and strokes. It doesn't matter if the stevia is process, it is the erythritol they correlated with cardiac incidents. Take a science class or two. You're spouting nonsense.
    2
  3075.  @AkPacerPilot  Sure, moderation in everything, but what about diabetics and those with gestational diabetes. With both of my daughter's pregnancies, she couldn't consume any metabolizable carbohydrates at all. For her, stevia was a god send. I hate the stuff, because it tastes like licorice to me, but understand why she was happy to have it.

  3077. Actually, the US did not enslave them. They were purchased from the people who enslaved them, mostly Arabs and black Muslims. (They would not sell their co-religionists, so the slaves they sold to whites were Naturalists and Christians.) Nor did the US invent slavery. Slavery has been around for at least thousands of years. Look at the writings of the Sumerians, the ancient Egyptians, the ancient Greeks, the ancient Persians, and the Romans. If you read what the Romans wrote about the British and Scandinavian tribes, they also kept slaves.

  3087. The Democratic hold on the Senate is a tenuous thing, and even if PR and DC are admitted as states, it is more than likely that the GOP will regain control. It is recognition of this fact, that makes Manchin cautious about change, such as restructuring the court.

  3090. Many of the Russians, fleeing from this stupid war, are getting jobs, and buying homes, in foreign countries. They will not be back. Thus, Putin's devastation of the Russian economy is not just due to western sanctions, but the loss of a generation of educated workers.

  3091. OK Cortes is right about one thing, what Trump did was was monumental, monumentally stupid. Now NK will no longer respect our secretary of state. He'll only meet with Trump, and because he knows that it is easier to put something over on him. Pompeo is not a easily flattered into a mistake.

  3093. My question is about why a Radiation Oncologist, specializing in prostate cancer, was put in charge of the FDA. He probably wrote few prescriptions, and did not install devices. He is in charge of a field which he was only peripherally trained for. He certainly is not an expert on infectious disease, so his reassurances are moot.

  3099. With her cogent speech about the shame Trump has brought to the party, Liz Cheney follows in the footsteps of another Republican woman of valor, Sen. Margaret Chase Smith. Her Declaration of Conscience, in answer to Joseph McCarthy's persecution of anyone with liberal values, ended with the following: "It is high time that we stopped thinking politically as Republicans and Democrats about elections and started thinking patriotically as Americans about national security based on individual freedom. It is high time that we all stopped being tools and victims of totalitarian techniques-techniques that, if continued here unchecked, will surely end what we have come to cherish as the American way of life." If only today's Republicans remembered this lesson.

  3105.  @neb3757  I think you'll find most pro-choice people are as against forced abortion, as they are forced pregnancy. But, a woman can much more easily get over a forced abortion, find a better man, and try again, than get over an abusive relationship with a man they were forced to have a child with.
    2
  3106. How high are union dues? How much does Fain make? How much money is kicked back to the mob? I remember when constant worker strikes, and resulting pay raises, were the principle cause of the high inflation of the 1970s. Good thing that there are right-to-work states, that these auto manufacturers can move to.

  3116. Losing an election is not being robbed. Too bad the supporters of the demagogues, Trump and Sanders, don't realize that. Sanders lost fair and square. And, as he is not a Democrat, the only cheat was that he was allowed to run in our primaries.
    2
  3117.  @audioartisan  We did, and chose Biden.
    2
  3118.  @marieknight9385  So, by being fair to all candidates, Sanders was cheated. You are as delusional as those who say Trump won this time. The GOP was taken over, and ruined by an extreme, dishonest, populist demagogue. And you want the same to happen to the Democratic party.
    2
  3119. I live in Oregon, I'm always mailed a ballot.
    2
  3120. Nah. Where was Sanders when this bill was being hashed out? Nowhere. It's easy to bitch about it, after the work of compromise has been done. There is no difference between Sanders and Trump. They are both just grandstanding to try to seem for the people. Neither gives a damn.

  3124. Pelosi's immediate family should have the same protection that Trump's and Pence's do now. They aren't in the line for power any more, she still is. It is Trump's continued refusal, to acknowledge the reality, that he lost in 2020, that is fueling much of this violence. He, and all his family, should lose their protective detail, since they don't mind inciting violence. At least then, he won't be able to rip off the Secret Service any more.

  3129. Really? It was the Republican that behaved without dignity.
    2
  3130. Two very different example. In one, after he was no longer in office, Biden's people made a request for documents, then forgot about them. And when found they were returned, without needing a request. In the other, documents were stolen from the government, squirreled away with momentos, in an area easily accessed by the public, including possibly hostile foreigners. And when the government requested they be returned, that request was ignored, when a subpoena was issued for them, only some were returned, then a claim that they belonged to the thief was made, and the FBI had to wrest them away from the thief.

  3136. Wow, Grassley must know that there is damaging material in Trump's tax returns. Why else would he be working so hard to keep them hidden. There is a good reason that past presidents have been honest and transparent about their tax returns.
    2
  3137. And yet, I was told today, by a Trump supporter, that it was wrong to impeach him a second time, that Trump didn't rile up the mob that stormed Congress. He said the whole thing should be dropped, Trump did nothing wrong, he'll be gone soon, and trying to retroactively remove him would only fracture the nation. I said, if a neighbor had paid someone to break into my house, and kill my cat, but was moving out next week, I'd still press charges. There have to be repercussions. No man is above the law. And, there must be punishment, to prevent future presidents, from mounting an insurrection.
    2
  3138.  @Greggster1  How about that he had a plan for affordable healthcare for all? Or that his attempt to blackmail Zelensky was a "perfect phone call"? Or that his campaign had no communications with Russians? The man lied, like most people breathe in air, which he seemed to have a problem with. Who can forget when he redrew weather lines, with a sharpie, because he had lied about the course of a hurricane? And then of course, there is "the big lie" that he won the last election.

  3151. Clearly TFG did, that's why he lied and called her names, and said he wouldn't rape her, because she wasn't his type. He's used that same vile line against other women, that he's assaulted, and photos of the ladies, at the time of his attack, show they all were his type.

  3156. Remember when the Russian hacked the DNC, in the 2016 elections, they also hacked the RNC. And while, with Assange's help, they weaponized the DNC data, inserting false data and releasing it, they never released the RNC data. I've always believed Putin gave that data to Trump, and he is using dirty Republican secrets, to keep them in line.

  3160.  @bellanoir9479  Well said. You forgot the part where every synagogue was vandalized in Portland. Orthodox Jews were attacked for being Jewish. And Chabad was burned down by antifa. Of course, Wheeler wouldn't let the police take reports on any of this racist behavior, so if weren't Jewish, you'd never know. Since no official report exists for any of these hate crimes, even though the fire department pushed for an investigation of burning Chabad to the ground, the FBI was never notified, and only the Jewish news reported on the crimes.

  3167. The real Democrats want to offer a public option, like Sweden has, paid for by a payroll deduction. It is optional, you can take it or have private insurance.

  3171. In essence, Trump's DOJ has tried to do the right thing for the wrong reason. Prior to the advent of net neutrality, I used Comcast as my ISP and noticed they slowed my downloads when I used Usenet to get free content. In other words, if your ISP also sells content, they will slow down the content from other sources. This forces one to purchase more expensive content from their ISP to maintain a usable bandwidth. Vertical acquisition or not, this could be a very costly monopoly for consumers, if it is not blocked.

  3174. You're trivializing the power drug cartels have in Mexico and Central America. This is much more like Chicago a hundred years ago. The mobs run everything, and fear nothing. Police, politicians and judges are in their pockets. When a crusader comes along, attempting to clean things up, they are either corrupted or killed. Militia groups are like a pimple on the US's backside, the cartels are a cancer, that are eating the body of many Latin American countries.

  3176. I know that some channels are blaming the fear, people are feeling, on other channels. But, why are people afraid of strangers at their door? Could it be, that as a result of the 2020 race riots, police and prosecutors are no longer keeping people safe? If calling 911 still resulted in a police response, people wouldn't feel obliged to take the matter of security into their own hands. If municipalities brought down the crime rate, people would be less paranoid.

  3193.  @ownthelibs  Right and left mean something different than it does here. Here left means fiscally liberal, but both sides are fiscally liberal, socialist, in Israel. In Israel right means for security. And the left keeps losing more and more seats because most people want to live, so security is necessary. Also, much of the left treated the Mitzrachim (Jews from lands the Arabs took) poorly. Many from Morocco, Yemen, Tunis, Iran, Iraq, etc. will never vote Mapai (Labor) because of how they were treated. They always vote Likud because, having lived among Arabs, they understand the mentality and know peace only comes from strength. It is only Jews living safely in the galut, or rich Ashkenazim, that condemn the right.

It was not a liberal arts major, but a a difficult major requiring calculus, over 2 years of chemistry, a year of physics, general biology and countless courses, with many labs, in my major, often in the school of medicine. I doubt this twit could have handled the biochemistry of bacterial growth. Yet despite being a rigorous science degree, it was a BA, not a BS, because that is the major my university awarded. To claim that the world existed, prior to the advent of photosynthesis, with higher CO2 levels means high CO2 is fine is ludicrous. That world was not a hospitable one for mammals, which humans are.

  3216. It's ironic, the in the UK, which has an official state religion, people think "being christian" is less important, than in the secular US, the first country to soundly reject the idea of a state religion. Many countries have an official state religion or two. I suggest those Americans, who feel the need to live in a christian country, move to one of those countries. As their ethics and mores are unamerican.

Why would he do this if he were not compromised?

  3228. I'm disgusted. Not so much by rejection of the text books, because the examples shown are egregious, but because of the math problem about finding 9+5, by first finding 9+1, and asking them to write out their reasoning. Math should not need to be explained, math is it's own language. You should be able to teach math without language at all. That is why so many immigrant children do so well in math, language should not affect it. Making children write out why they came to a solution is just obscene. Teach math, not writing, in math class. No wonder our children score so poorly on math comprehension and ability. #NoMoreWords

And hurting those, that are selling food, puts them out of business, and turns your neighborhood into a food desert. There is no excuse for any theft, of anything. Thinking you're entitled to take what you want is evil.

  3236. What I've read is, the government didn't discover the leak, it was reported to them, by a high school gamer. He was the one who let people know the leaker had the handle OC. From there, it was easy for the FBI to determine his real identity. There was no search program, looking for matches between posted data and classified data. Did you expect them to grep all posted data? (And yeah, we've all read Knuth's Sorting and Searching, and know about hash tables. )

  3238.  @2-dsynctium773  I didn't know that Christains worked out the age of the earth using weird calculations. I just assumed that they used the Jewish year as their start date. (Currently the year is 5779.) Your comments are informative, if rather caustic, and long. If you honestly expect most of these ignoramuses to read them all, you overestimate them. Those literate ones who do read them, are probably already in your camp. It might interest you that most rabbis, even many Orthodox ones, are less dogmatic about the age of the earth. They dodge the question by stating that g_d's day is not man's day. So the first day of creation could stretch to millions and millions of years. Since the story of creation, in Bereshit, is the correct chronological order, scientific findings do not totally contradict the story. However, when I asked a rabbi how polar bears got to the ark, in the story of Noach, all he could say was "That's an interesting question." He promised to think about, and get back to me. He died before he did.

  3239.  @JeffreyGoddin  Don't forget the protests were because the people were starving (due to drought in Russia and the USA driving up the cost of wheat). Assad had plenty of money, in the government coffers, to buy and distribute enough bread, to see the people through that famine. Instead he killed the people begging for food aid. If he had done the right thing, and fed his people, he would have earned their undying loyalty. His response was not just cruel, it was stupid.
    2
  3240. You've gotten it all backwards, and are confusing cause and effect. The reason certain places were made gun free zones, is that too many innocent people were being killed by guns there. And, if security is strict enough, it does work. How many people are killed in courthouses, now one has to pass through a gun detector? We've seen what happens, when a gunman attacks in a place with other armed people, even more innocents are killed in the crossfire.

He told other people, that he was born in Brazil. Which of his statements is true? And if it turns out he's not a citizen, is his election valid? BTW He reminds me a lot of the character, that Jon Lovitz did for SNL, Tommy Flanagan. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Pence is relatively sane, while TFG is seriously deranged. Pence is a patriot, who wouldn't completely destroy democracy. He might wound it a bit, so the 'wrong sort of people' don't have a voice, but wouldn't actually overthrow the government, to stay in power, like TFG.

  3257. When I was going through chemo, I talked to the other people, in the transfusion room, and asked those who lived in rural areas how they managed. Some drove in two, to five hours, each way, every other week. Many others took advantage of the RVs the hospital owned, and kept in their parking lot. Others rented a room, at a nearby extended-stay motel. Those just lived near the hospital for four months. Of course, that doesn't help when the hospital has turned its transfusion room into an auxiliary ICU.

Stop blaming the victims.

  3264. There is nothing contentious about the Jerusalem Day flag march, except racists hate it. When Israel became a state again, in 1948, many Arab armies invaded, to kill off the natives getting back any part of their land. The Jordanian army ethnically cleansed parts of Judea and Samaria, including the walled portion of Jerusalem. They put Arabs, from Jordan, in the farms, orchards and homes built by Jews. In their efforts to wipe Jewish history from the area, they tore down every synagogue and tore up graveyards, using stolen gravestones for building and paving, just like the Nazis did. Jews were not allowed to visit their holy places, and Christians could only visit Bet Lechem on Xmas. After 19 years, when the Arabs invaded again, the Jews were able to drive out the Jordanian army, and reunify the ancient Jewish capitol of Jerusalem. Jews were able to pray at the Kotel again, and Christians visit the Church of the Holy Sepulacre again. Jerusalem Day celebrates that reunification and freedom of worship,

It is well known, that in order to suppress black voter turnout, many southern voting districts supply an insufficient number of voting machines to polling places in black neighborhoods. I always thought people were being overly testy, when they complained of white privilege, but you prove me wrong. I'm the same age as you, and have lived in 'nice' neighborhoods and ones where everyone around is darker than I am. And I noticed that it was much quicker voting, when I live in a nice neighborhood. Of course, my state went all vote-by-mail two decades ago, and now the niceness of one's neighborhood does not affect one's voting experience.

Nobody in my family has ever had gestational diabetes, but my daughter had very severe cases with both her pregnancies, because her husband is black. Sadly, many OBGYNs ignore the father's genetic contribution.

  3305. I'm so embarrassed that the voice of male domination is a fellow Jew. On the other hand, a Florida rabbi is bringing suit against Florida's antiabortion law, as it is establishing a religion (Catholicism), which the First Amendment is supposed to prevent.
    2
  3306. Bull. I live in Portland, and have a good number of gay friends. None of them use. I don't know where you got that figure, but it is grossly inflated. And don't worry. We've decriminalized drugs in Oregon.

  3307.  @ALISHISNOIUS  Did you forget that Hillary got three million more votes than he did? Hillary easily beat him in the popular vote.
    2
  3308.  @MrEkzotic  It is the legislature that passes the bills with the most direct affect on the economy. The biggest impact a president has, on the economy, is naming the Fed chair, and the current chair was named by Trump. Biden hasn't had any more impact on the economy than you have.
    2
  3309. Then you aren't very observant. For one thing, Putin invaded and occupied another country, while Israel was invaded and occupied by foreign invaders even worse than the Russians, the arabs.
    2
  3310.  @690169016901  I'm the same age as you, and see it totally differently. I still remember the question authority stickers. My friends are around the same age, and we're all liberals who have fought for the rights of others.
    2
  3311.  @starmune7942  You think older people don't pay taxes. You should see my property tax bill. And, as far as driving, I do, but my 30 year old daughter does not. Should she lose her vote? It used to be, only people who owned property got to vote, do you want to go back to that? I promise you that would take more votes from younger citizens than older ones.
    2
  3312. Israel is helping them too, as are some Arab countries. Canadian, European and middle eastern news is reporting on their travails as well.
    2
  3313. Like Fox did to Obama. At least CNN does not make up absurd stories, they don't have to. Trump gives us all reasons to despise him every day.

  3315.  @lytaavbl4223  Iran attacks, and you blame Israel. Typical racist.
    2
  3316.  @CourtneyHaynes  Clearly, discrimination in favor of black people is a problem, or most of the country would not be upset about it. It is always wrong to play favorites, regardless of who gets special privilege. Complaining about injustice, and reverse discrimination is unjust, is not whining.

  3317. "Progressives are only 11% of the Democratic party, and 4% of the electorate. There are a lot more voters, who think your policies are terrible.

  3318. All you Russian, here talking about peace, give me a royal pain. It is your damned leader who is the aggressor. If he stopped acting like a tyrannical bully, there would be peace.
    2
  3319.  @JesoTV  So, what do think is happening to the Russians, protesting the war, who were grabbed off the streets, and thrown into police vans?
    2
  3320.  Two parties, one oligarchy  You keep pretending a grassroots protest, organized by students, was started by the US. Ukrainians were upset, because they voted for a man, who promised to join the EU, but instead made trade agreements with Russia. If Yanukovych hadn't brutally tried to suppress the protest, he would have remained in power. But, his police opening fire, with live ammunition, on unarmed protestors, and kidnapping and torturing their leaders to death, was too much for the people to stand.
    2
  3321.  @ProudQLD  Really? Is there a written treaty or agreement, saying one country would unilaterally prevent any more countries joining NATO? Not only did the US not sign any such agreement, even if we had, we are only one vote in NATO. Russia, on the other hand, did sign an agreement to respect and defend Ukraine's border, if they were to give up its nuclear arms. Russia, not the US, is foresworn.
    2
  3322. And while you're at it, let everyone decide what speed they can drive at, and allow them to defecate and urinate wherever they want. Public safety rules must be obeyed by all, or they are useless. Maybe we should let everyone with a degree in medicine, microbiology, epidemiology or public health make their own decisions. Most of the public is too ignorant, of those fields, to make an informed decision.
    2
  3323.  @ronswanson2029  And the Son of Sam said a dog told him to kill people. I despise Sanders, almost as much as I do Trump, as he is also a lying, populist demagogue, but he never told anyone to shoot the opposition.
    2
  3324. There has been an international response of aid. But, it should be noted that Israel was the first country to send help.
    2
  3325. Or someone else committed the murders, after borrowing the knife. With a MA in criminal justice, he had to know about DNA evidence. It seems improbable that he would have committed the crimes, with a weapon he had to know had his DNA on it, and leave it behind.

  3327. Extremely unfortunate to have had him, and not Clinton.

  3328. We used to punish those who hired the illegals. When Reagan got rid of that program, hey pesto, we had a problem. Arresting and deporting doesn't work, why keep doing that? Let's do what works, and fine their employers.
    2
  3329.  @booksyoumustreadifyouwantt4556  Because Italy, an Axis power, occupied Libya, there were Arab Nazi collaborators, who assisted in the murder of local Jews.

  3330. The gerbil died years ago from arteriosclerosis. Maybe is doesn't weigh much more than 239 lbs, but he is barely six feet tall. As Garfield said, he's not overweight, he's under-tail.

  3331. Why? Because we housed so many of the homeless Texas discarded? Don't you mean Poland?
    2
  3332.  @rexalip5429  You got that backwards, Israel is the victim of unprovoked shelling of civilians, on their native land. Stop trying garner sympathy for a brutal invader, trying to murder the indigenous people, and steal even more of their land.
    2
  3333. That 75% measurement is for circulating neutralizing antibodies, which naturally contract with time, after the adaptive immune response is evoked. You still have memory B and T cells, but as they are hard to measure (you'd need bone and lymph node biopsies) we only know how long they persist in animal models. Vaccine educated T cells still have a high enough affinity for omicron, to be effective. Yes, a vaccine more specific for the mutated epitopes of omicron, would evoke a better immunity, but by the time a reformulation of the vaccine is approved by the FDA, there will be a new variant in circulation. This may become like influenza, where a committee decides which epitopes to immunize against each year.
    2
  3334. What indiscriminate bombing? Israel is still letting the Arab occupiers know before bombing a building, so that they can get out. A far cry from the way the terrorists beheaded infants, or tied them up then burned them to death.
    2
  3335. He's done nothing but aggravate our allies and raise the deficit. Pelosi and Schiff are highly intelligent. I'd rather one of them were at the nation's helm, than this spoiled, self-indulgent man-child.
    2
  3336.  @mehere8038  The Astrazeneca and J&J vaccines use a chimp adenovirus as a vector. The Sputnik uses a human adenovirus, which is a problem, because vaccine targets should be naive to the vector.

  3339. They both learned at Putin's knee.
    2
  3340. He neglected to mention the four terrorists, who snuck into Israel from Arab occupied Samaria, and murdered 14 innocent people. Nor did he mention the constant knifing attacks. Or the use of the Temple Mount to launch projectiles at Jews praying at the Kotel.
    2
  3341. So, do a search on him. Then you'll find, other than preferring Europe to Russia, he's no different than Orban.

  3342. Who are you calling a witch? Or do you mean which?

  3343. So what? She lives in Maryland, not California. He should have chosen someone who resides in Califonia.
    2
  3344. So, because some foreigner says so, the Israeli people cannot have the PM they elected?
    2
  3345. Maybe because Manchin actually gets bills passed, that help the American people, while Sanders talks a lot of nonsense, and only enriches himself.
    2
  3346.  @Notfromwashington  Ukraine asked to join NATO, about a decade ago. They were told they would have to first reform their country. They have been cleaning out the corruption, and were almost to the target NATO set. Why do you think Putin invaded again?
    2
  3347.  @jayrag123  Except, Ukraine has been training its civilian forces since the first Russian invasion, in 2014.
    2
  3348. Wrong. Biden had the same power, as VP, over classified documents, that Trump had. We all know why Biden had those documents, because he was reading them. But, why did the illiterate, Trump, have them?
    2
  3349. Have a vaccine passport, and don't let the idiots, that refuse vaccination, to ride.
    2
  3350. Exposing an agent of the USA is treasonous. Letting a president know he could be blackmailed by Russia is not blackmail itself. Libby was so terrible that even Bush would not pardon him, no matter how much Cheney begged. Bush may have been stupid and easily led, but he loves his country. Trump loves only himself.
    2
  3351.  @jonathanfarley2023  When? Do you mean when the murderous tyrant, Yanukovych, fled to Russia, after turning his violent thugs on innocent people, protesting that he was not fulfilling campaign promises. When someone has troops open fire on unarmed civilians, and kidnaps then tortures to death student leaders, it is absurd to consider him a legitimate leader.
    2
  3352.  @jonathanfarley2023  Your statements might seem reasonable to a completely ignorant fool, but not to anyone who is aware of recent historical facts. You're like a Faux 'news' host, posing absurd questions as a way to brainwash the gullible.

  3353. Let's get the Americans, that want to be vaccinated, vaccinated first.

  3355.  @SKARAMANGA1  You think Jews aren't oppressed, when we face the largest percentage of hate crimes in this country?
    2
  3356. I notice the people suffering from this carcinogen are black. Is that why the government so blase, or is because this is not a rich neighborhood? Are some lives less important than others?
    2
  3357. No, free speech applies to everyone, even the ones you consider liars. There are numerous groups, that base their very existence on "facts" that are demonstrably false, yet their members have the right to assemble and say whatever they want. It should only be considered illegal when they resort to violence, or threaten others.
    2
  3358. ​ @seneidasantiago1323  Really? Are girls, in the US, prevented from going to school? Are women here, prevented from having any job? Do our daughters suffer genital mutilation? Do we marry them off, as third wives, to old men, to settle a debt? Can we not wear the clothing we want in public, and not face beatings and torture, for the sin of showing a little skin? Can you not travel wherever you want? Are you not allowed to speak freely? If you think anything we face here, is comparable, to the suffering women endure under the Taliban, you are delusional.

  3359.  @daisyfloras1449  Notice the OP has been edited. An 'n' was probably inserted.

  3360. This is due to climate change making California drier and PG&E shoddy practices. This is one we can't pin on Trump.
    2
  3361.  @colonelangus8247  Really? Where did you learn that? Because you are dead wrong. Since people carrying this disease can spread it while asymptomatic, anyone exposed is supposed to go into quarantine. Officials in other countries did so, ex. Benyamin Netanyahu went into quarantine for two weeks when his Minister of Health tested positive.
    2
  3362.  @noballs12345  And the sponsoring state is Iran.

  3363. That isn't happening. But, what is happening is US tax dollars are going to fund arab terrorists, murdering innocent women and children.

  3366. How is facing higher taxes, while corporations and the rich get a big break, seeing my retirement fund tank, paying more for most consumer goods, watching the planet warm unabated, seeing American's standing in the world slump, and having my tax dollars wasted by a corrupt kleptocracy benefiting?

  3374. Blame Hamas for using human shields, not Israel for protecting itself and its people.
    2
  3375. Has she tried to get tribal benefits? No. Was she admitted to university as a minority? No. She, like many Americans was told she had a distant native ancestor. I've got family that dates back to colonial times, and was told that branch of the family contained a Cherokee "princess". I've always assumed that "princess" was more likely an escaped slave. But, my grandmother swore to her dying day the story was true. One isn't guilty because they were told false origin stories.
    2
  3376.  @drowningpooralice5505  Really? Because it seems to work well in Canada, Japan, western Europe, and all other developed countries. It's hard to find a people more tightly wound, than the Japanese, yet mass murder is rare there, due to gun control.
    2
  3377. Do you really consider receiving a full pension, when you retire at 65 a hardship? Most citizens of other countries, including the US, would love such a generous government pension, and consider the current retirement age, of 62, a joke.
    2
  3378. There is no blue wave coming. If you look at the results of the 2020 election, Republicans took more seats than they lost. Most of the country is solidly centrist, and the more Democrats push 'progressive' ideas, the fewer people will vote for them. If Manchin is replaced, in 6 years, it will be with a Republican. Democrats need to work on economic issues, that help everyone, and get away from the 'social justice' nonsense, or 2022 will see a huge red wave.

    2
  3383.  @TheOne5872-n3n  As a Canadian, your ancestors escaped from slavery, long before the Civil War. And the experience of slavery is not unique to black people. Slavery has existed at least as long as agriculture. You aren't the only group in history to be transported as slaves, to another continent. My people were transported to Europe and North Africa (from Asia), and treated far worse, for far longer, than Americans from Africa. As soon as repression was eased up, just a little, we thrived, and nobody even gave us set asides. The word 'slave' comes from Slav, because so many of those people were sold as livestock. Stop pretending you are uniquely put upon, when other people have had it much worse, yet survived, and succeeded, despite this.

  3386.  @NowOne3006  So what? That's true for a lot of people, like diabetics. There are countless people, alive today, because of an antibiotic, produced by big pharma. A lot of people with heart conditions, take daily meds. AIDS is no longer a death sentence, because of big pharma. Do you want to return to the middle ages?

  3389. 1. If the person they talked to had been slipping in shitty pictures to embarrass others, would he cop to it now? 2. There is no proof that there weren't 2 envelopes delivered. It doesn't sound like a high security operation. 3. Anyone can steam open an envelope, add something and reseal it. 4. If such a racist photo was submitted, why wasn't it flagged?

  3390. Sanders and Corbyn are have very similar policies and attitudes. It is a very apt comparison.

  3391.  The Facts matter  Really? In many countries with universal medicine (like BIden backs) the elderly live much longer because they have better health care.
    2
  3392. Being bullied is no excuse for killing people. That's just a sad distraction from the fact that it is too easy, for a disturbed individual to get a gun in the US. Every intelligent kid, or kid with glasses, or a funny last name, was bullied in school. We never use that as a lame excuse to murder people, just do well at university, and let living well be our revenge. There is no excuse for the US's lax gun laws, none.
    2
  3393.  @MarkyMark2177  According to the CDC, there were 19,384 firearm homicides in 2020. That is considerably more than 662. In most of those firearm homicides, the type of weapon used was listed as unknown, so could have been a rifle, just not identified as such.
    2
  3394. Kennedy sent in unarmed advisors. Then, when some of them were killed, started arming the advisors. That was the start of US military involvement in Vietnam. Pretending JFK was against war is a disgusting lie.
    2
  3395. Why don't you think these are real control measures? The effort to prevent straw purchases is the most important, as that is how most illegal guns are obtained. This may not have everything I wish were done, but it is better than what we have now. Effective legislation is about compromise. That means neither side gets everything they want.

  3397.  @fletchermalenkos3301  Covid-19 is both more lethal, and leaves more infected people disabled, than polio did. Yet everyone got vaccinated for polio.
    2
  3398.  @arceusthomas2447  Yes, his numbers are a bit low. According to Augusta University and the University of Georgia, between 98% to 99% of Covid-19 deaths are in the unvaccinated. According to a study done in May 2021, only 0.8% of Covid-19 deaths were in vaccinated individuals.
    2
  3399.  @dontpanic1812  I wouldn't call it substantial funding, but sure, the FDA does require processing fees, from pharmaceutical manufacturers, to help defray the cost of determining if a drug is safe. Just like businesses have to pay to get an LLC, and you have to pay a fee to get a driver's license.

  3402.  @johnnyberkoukess974  No, people will remember McCain dragging himself off his deathbed to vote against repealing the ACA for generations. It will be a story repeated to children, like the George Washington cherry tree trope. He will be remembered for his courage and devotion to the American people, when all people think of when they remember Trump is corruption, much like Warren G. Harding.
    2
  3403.  @michaelwilliamson4759  Counting votes is not finding them. Everyone's vote should be counted, but Trump doesn't want the mail in vote counted. And it was pretty convenient that 300,000 ballots, from areas with a lot of black residents, just vanished into the post office, never to be seen again.
    2
  3404. KaliBoyinPDX People like you are ruining Portland. You are like the Arab colonizers who come in and ruin things. Don't you know that Israel gave some of their land to the Arabs (Gaza) and it has been used as a staging grounds for more attacks. Why would they give up Judeah and Shomron to them as well. The only oppression is by the Arab invaders. I wish that they'd go back to Egypt, and you'd return to California.

  3405. In many areas, they are vaccinating teachers, before those with a high risk of dying. Politics are screwing up a public health response.

    2
  3407.  @bluenami7520  That is a lie, Russian troll.
    2
  3408. No, sorry. You're wrong. Corporations have had higher profits, in decades past, without rising inflation. Inflation is due to too much money, created out of nothing, and pumped into the system. Both Biden and Trump are responsible, and it is preferable to the economic crash that would have resulted, if no money were pumped in. But, it is totally bogus to blame corporations for something that is the result of economic over correction.

  3411. That would be a cool quote, if Goebbels actually had said it. He didn't. The closest you can come to it is something he said during a Nuremberg rally in 1934, "The cleverest trick used in propaganda against Germany during the war, was to accuse Germany of what our enemies themselves were doing".

  3412. His houseboat cost less than $200K, and that is where he lives while Congress is in session. But, you still think Sanders' who lives in a fancy million dollar townhouse (in addition to his two other multimillion dollar properties) is a man of the people.

  3440. Actually, having a myriad of different voting systems makes it much harder to hack our elections. Imagine if, instead of only a dozen types of operating systems, there were thousands. Hackers would have a much harder time writing a program for every O/S, in order to get malware and ransomware on enough computers, to be profitable. That is what so many different voting systems does, since each district is different, it takes a huge set of tools to hack elections.

  3443.  @kevin10000  Hospitals and clinics, run by church organizations, are exempt. This means any secular healthcare company has a financial disadvantage. All hospitals should be taxed in the same way, regardless of who owns them.

  3444. Most of the "reports" to VAERS turn out to be false, submitted by lying lunatics who hate science, just trying to mess the system up. Or do you believe vaccination can give one spidey powers, or allow you to have x-ray vision, as some have reported?

  3448.  @adrxdeedrich5091  Flirting with a younger underling is harassment. Why would a 25 year old be attracted to a married man in his 60s? You cannot imagine the stress such constant questioning, about having an affair, would bring someone.

  3449. You can't read too much into a first name. While I was getting to do some research in comparative immunology, I was told to go to a particular lab and ask Boris for the needed material. I did, expecting some Russian dude. Instead there was only a Chinese fellow. I asked if he was Boris. He was. I then asked how he got the name. His answer was that when he first came to the US, he looked in the phone book to find an American name that was close to his. I told him that Boris is not a common name here. He sighed, and said that he'd been told that on countless occasions, too late.

  3450. Israel was having a problem, with vaccine hesitancy amongst the Haredi population. They instituted a green passport program, where if you wanted to enter certain crowded spaces, like theaters, malls, gyms, synagogues, etc., you had to show your vaccine passport. They also started giving away free cholent, on Fridays, in Haredi neighborhoods, when you were vaccinated. And most of the vaccine hesitancy vanished.

  3453. Is it delayed by omicron or weather? Flying at this time of year is always precarious. It was around this time of the year in 2013, that my flight from Oregon to Newark, NJ then to Ben Gurion Israel was rerouted PDX-LAX-TLV. My bag didn't make it to the Alaska flight to LA, and then the entire middle east was hit be a once in a century snow storm. For a week, my bag sat in Ben Gurion, with no way to get it to me in Jerusalem, because of snow. All the stores in Jerusalem were closed, because of the snow. The heating, in the room I was renting, was via a heat pump, that did not work in the below 0C weather. Then the dud shemesh, broke because of the freeze, and there was no water. So I was stuck, with no clean clothes, no water, in a freezing cold apartment. Enjoy Los Angeles. It could be a lot worse.

  3454. That just proves your buddy didn't grow up next to the ocean. Where I grew up most of the teens were either surfers or divers (we drivers were the ones who stayed sober).

  3459. California gets a heavy rain year, about every fifty years. The one in 1973 was a little worse than this, although a lot fewer people lived there then. I was in junior high, in SLO, and had to swim home, although a cop in a rowboat, gave me ride where the water was really deep.
    2
  3460. Deporting a green card holder for committing a crime is not the same as rounding up entire families and killing them. My great-grandfather was a decorated German WWI war hero. The family had been in Bochum longer than that city had been part of Germany. Yet he and his family were sent to Dachau and were murdered. The comparison is insulting. Unless the government starts rounding up 6th or 7th generation families and killing them, it is not the same at 1930 Germany.

  3461. They did vote to condemn Russia at the UN, while India did not. Russia controls Syrian airspace. While Israel has sent massive amounts of humanitarian aid, Russia has told them, if they send military aid, or sanction Russia, Russia will allow Iranian proxies to bombard Israeli civilians, but not allow a response.

  3466.  @carlsanc3880  Do you have the memory of a fruit fly? Gas prices were high, before the pandemic, then dropped because nobody was driving anywhere. Now that many are vaccinated, people are driving and flying again, and the cost of fuel goes up. Supply and demand. (Oh yeah, and that freighter getting stuck in the Suez canal didn't help matters.)

  3469. Why were you traumatized by that? The only time I was ever freaked, was when my mom was flying our Cessna 210, under IFR conditions, and made me handle the radio. We were at 24,000 feet, then hit a freak air pocket, and were slammed down to 13,000 feet. That put us in someone else's flight path, I had to notify traffic control, while my mom frantically started climbing back to where we were supposed to be. That was scary.
    2
  3470.  @arianm.5084  That occurred in 1974, when the US was still licking its wounds from Vietnam. Turkey was the only NATO power in the area, and we were far more afraid of the USSR, than Turkey. Was that good? No. But, neither was the US's acceptance of many Arab war crimes, because of our reliance on Saudi oil. Were you alive when we had gas rationing in the US? It wasn't pretty. And we overlooked a lot, to get the oil flowing again.

  3481.  @fallingiguanas6326  This stupid question has been asked and answered numerous times. Because, nonvaccinated idiots can serve as walking incubators, who allow new, and more dangerous variants to develop. A variant might arise that can evade vaccine induced immunity, and we'll all go back to square one. Stop being a selfish dunce, and get vaccinated.

  3482. What makes it more galling, is the fact the trial is only being held now, not while Trump was still in office, because McConnell delayed it.
    2
  3483. Prior to the Citizens United, Supreme Court decision, we had campaign contribution limits. But the conservative court found that, 1. corporations are people, with the same rights as all citizens, and 2. money is speech, therefore limiting campaign contributions stifles free speech. That's one decision that needs to be overturned, but will not until the makeup of the court changes. Another law, that most countries have, that I wish we had in the US, is a total blackout, of all political ads, for a period (days, weeks or months) prior to election day.
    2
  3484.  @AlmostCouture  By land mass, most of the US is rural, but by population, most is urban. (The same is true for most countries.) Many of our problems arise from the attitude that land, not people, vote. I grew up in rural California, and most of my classmates, with any intelligence, left for big cities, when the became adults, and never returned. That brain drain, to the cities, might account for the poor decision making, of rural areas.

  3486. Whatever Corbyn thinks is moot, as the UK is not led by Labour. Maybe if Corbyn resigned, the Labour party would rise again. Seven members of Parliament have left that party because of Corbyn's racism and support for terrorists. If Corbyn really wanted the UK to stay in the EU, he would resign, and give Labour a chance to win.

Here is an article which shows Covid-19 infecting a cell: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-01-31/here-are-the-first-images-of-how-coronavirus-replicates-in-cells We've known, for over half a century, how viruses replicate in cells. A virion may not be alive, but just like a prion, it is an infectious agent. Take a virology course, you clearly need an education.

  3490.  @bradynlotterman8164  If that were true then MLK shouldn't have statues, as he was a philanderer. And there certainly should not be statues to a drug addled felon, whose name we only know because of the ignoble way he died. You cannot name a single human, who has never done "bad stuff".

  3494. Bull. I was at uni from 1976 to 1980. North campus UCLA, where all the fuzzy studies like sociology were, was totally Marxist. South campus, engineering, math and science, was where the sane people were, but north campus was full of bleeding heart liberals without any common sense.

  3495. Haven't you noticed some Republican led states changing the rules? Now, in Georgia, Iowa, Arizona and Texas, if the voters chose one president, but the state legislature wants another, the legislature's choice can be substituted for the voters' choice. This is what should be addressed, not getting rid of IDs to vote, or handing out water, but ensuring the will of the people is recognized.

Why do you think rape victims seldom come forward? They know they will be the one put on trial rather than the rapist. The people attacking this woman are the ones deploying disgusting tactics. As disgusting as this hideous man who doesn't want women to be able to control their own bodies.

  3500. How exactly? The US is already involved in keeping Russia from taking more of Ukraine. If we were to invade Kazakhstan, and start a full on war with Russia, would the world praise us for it, or call us a bully, interfering where we don't belong? The EU is closer. Why don't they do something?
    2
  3501. Keisha, your grasp of grammar seems as weak as your grasp of economics. "Why don't anyone" should be "Why doesn't anyone". As to healthcare, as long as drug companies can charge US citizen 3x what our neighbors to the north pay, and as long as consumers have no chance to find the best deal, prices will rise. And as to tuition, one of the big reasons that it is rising, especially in state schools, is that the government in contributing less and less to colleges. Of course if state tuition rises, private colleges follow suite. It is the lack of government involvement that is raising the cost of a higher education.

  3509. The only way to prevent a repeat of Jan. 6, is to reform the Electoral Count Act. The voting rights bills don't do anything to prevent a substitute slate of electors, and especially in HR/S1, there are provisions that won't make it past SCOTUS.

  3511. Seeing what has happened to Israel, who keeps giving up her land for peace, and getting only genocide and terror in return, is a good reason to not allow Russian to continue to occupy Crimea.

  3522. A big difference between Trump and Nixon, besides the fact that Nixon was competent, and Trump is not is; despite being a Quaker, Nixon served, as a Commander, in the Navy Reserves in WW II, and won two battle stars, Trump never served.

  3523. Rather than having tax brackets, a more fair way to tax everyone is to let the first $30,000 be untaxed, the next $30,000 be at a 5% rate, and so on. Too many people play absurd games to drop themselves into a lower bracket. The amounts and percentages could be adjusted, but a tiered system with create fewer games than the current bracket system.

  3547.  @davidstephen6753  Ah, that's a uniquely Christian thing. Other religions don't give people a get-out-of-jail-free card to commit evil acts and hurt others. Each year religious Jews fast for 26 hours, but that doesn't remove the hurt done to others. You have to ask the person you hurt to forgive you. And Jews don't value faith above all. To be a good person, you have to behave like a good person, not just profess belief. Even if you don't believe in god at all, if you treat others well and don't break too many rules, you are still considered a good person. But then, we don't have the carrot and stick of heaven or hell either. I don't know a lot about other religions, like Shinto or Buddhism, but I don't think they are allowed to be horrible to others, and just confess either. All your condemnations of religion, are actually specific to Christians.

It is a shame the younger legislators would rather promote themselves, and sabotage the government, than do their job, as you and other older legislators do. It is a bigger shame some denigrate your memory, for being a much better legislator, than any young, immature person could hope to be. May your memory be a blessing.

If only the RNC had special delegates, to prevent Trump from hijacking their party, ,this never would have happened. Ted Cruz is an odious individual, and I'm not fond of Jeb Bush either, but we'd have been much better off, if they had been the ones to defeat Hillary.

  3558.  @RemoteViewer1  Yes, coronaviruses have been around for a long time, but this is a brand new one. It is different enough, that when it first entered humans, we had no adaptive immune defense against it. Do you understand how evolution works? Have you never heard of a zoonotic disease? Saying this particular virus is nothing new, because coronaviruses have been around a long time, is like saying humans have existed as long as mammals.

  3563. When the Nazis were rounding up our family, my grandfather tried to save some members of his immediate family, offering to employ and put up bonds for any allowed in. The US said no, we have a strict quota on Jews, and our entire family was murdered. Why are these entitled frauds, who don't face genocide, being allowed to invade the country? They aren't well educated, like my murdered family members were. They aren't an asset to the country, like they were. My family were human beings. They got no consideration. Why should these scum get any?

  3564. I learned about it from my great aunt and great uncle, who survived the camps. I had asked why they always wore long sleeves, so they showed me the tattoos on their forearms, and told me the tale. That explained why I had no cousins, on one side of my family. My schools didn't cover the story until I was almost an adult, and then in a very cursory fashion.

And, every years, more than three thousand people, die in western wildfires, yet those more dangerous wildfires don't take over the news coverage like this hurricane. Stop being so atlantocentric! There is a lot more to this world that the US eastern seaboard, but you'd never realize that from the news coverage.

Funny how it's Democrats who want ballots on paper, so they can be audited in case of doubt, and Republicans are against that. Funny how Democrats are willing to trust the same sort of signature verification that banks have used since the 1970s, successfully, but Republicans don't. And Republicans always claim that voting by mail is sure to have fraud, even though states that vote only by mail have less fraud, and cleaner voter rolls, than other states. It's funny how Trump's Election Fraud Committee found none, yet claims of fraud never cease.

And, although he got a lot he wanted, out of the relationship, I doubt he wants to deal with that fragile ego anymore. He probably feels like he's escaped from an abusive relationship, and doesn't want to permanently return to it. He knows, if Trump regains the White House, the people will forever lose it. And that is too much for even McConnell.

If you want to go by the standards, by which these older vaccines were approved, the Covid vaccines would have been approved last year.

There are plenty of non-NATO countries, that used to be in the USSR, most of which have names that end in "stan". I'd say Poland, and other FSU NATO countries, would only have to fear invasion, after he has taken all the muslim FSU countries. My bet would be on Armenia and Azerbaijan, as those constantly feuding countries would be easy pickings.

  3606. No, the facts were out there, if you knew where to look, like the CDC's MMWR. It is not just that he downplayed the problem, he refused to address the problem. Countless thousands of American lives could have been saved if he had used the DPA to ramp up production of PPE, and test materials in January. He brags about closing down travel from China, but if he had stopped travel from all countries, and required returning citizens to quarantine for two weeks, as other countries did, the pandemic would not have spread as widely as it did.

  3607. Few, who are born wealthy, seem to have much expertise, on anything but self indulgence.

  3608. Humans generally hear sounds between 64 and 23,000 HZ, dogs between 67 and 45,000 Hz. Microwave is defined as between 300 MHz and 300 GHz. Since neither human nor dog sound perception falls in the microwave range, they must be detecting the effects of the microwave, rather than the microwave itself.

  3609. No, what is sad, is a bunch of ignoramuses, who think younger, more immature, and inexperienced is better than someone, just because they have a few grey hairs.

When put in a group of people, with identical ideologies, he proved himself worthless. This fraud pretends he's a man of the people, yet has three expensive homes (one is more of an estate with a lake) and never gives one cent to charity. The only legislation he's ever shepherded through Congress was to rename a post office, and give himself a raise.

  3619.  @nateh3441  I can read, your last statement implied that vaccines have been recalled. And your excuse is that a talcum powder, made of talc, was recalled after a hundred years? I guess you don't know that when J&J first released its baby powder nobody knew that talc contained asbestos, or that asbestos causes cancer. Thus your example is pathetic. And no, the actual problem is the percentage of individuals who are immune. It is not about any one particular person, but getting enough immunity into the population, that the disease cannot spread. Widespread vaccination is like setting a backfire, to stop a wildfire. If there is no fuel a fire will stop. If there are insufficient naive individuals, an epidemic will stop. Lies and fear, like you're promoting, prevent us getting enough people vaccinated to stem the pandemic. STOP IT!

  3639.  @glen46823  That sort of self centered thought is not great. Especially when children under five cannot, as of now, be vaccinated. At present two children die of Covid each day, in the US.

Only 76% of Israeli adults are fully vaccinated, and 66% boosted. And the rates are even worse for children. Just like here, vaccination and masking has become political. The UAE and Portugal have a much greater percentage of people vaccinated. And, no surprise, their case rates and hospitalizations are extremely low.

  3650. He is data driven. When he thought there was a strong candidate, who could beat Trump, he stayed out. But, when Joe Biden began to stumble he became worried. It is not that he fears someone like Warren would take all his money. (He gives away much more than her taxes would take.) He does not think someone so far to the left could win the battleground states. And polls show he has a good reason for his concern. He got in because, like so many sane people, he does not think the country can survive the damage Trump would continue to inflict, if he got a second term.

  3656. In the US, laws can only be overturned if they are unconstitutional. In Israel, laws are overturned, by a self appointing judiciary, based upon partisan interests. They even overturn Basic Law, which is like overturning the constitution. Overturning laws was never a power legally granted to the courts. Most countries, that lack a constitution, don't allow any law to be overturned. But, the courts decided they didn't like democracy, so just overrule it.

The loyalties are to the clan, not the nation. We used that to our advantage in colonizing our own country. Think how different history would have been, if all the First Nations had banded together against Europeans, as soon as they set foot in the New World. Instead, the French and English armed allied tribes, to fight against each other. Why we think other countries, with tribal societies, will be any different from Native Americans is beyond me.

People keep talking about how the J & J vaccine is less effective (~70%) but that is against those new strains out of S. Africa, the UK, and Brazil. And all the vaccines prevent severe infection, with complications or death, by those new strains. And, the vaccine manufacturers have adjusted their vaccines to better immunize against he new strains, they just have wait for results from the trials they are currently conducting.

  3673. No, the court would be expanded, over and over, until we have hundreds of justices. A much better idea is to have justices serve a set term, so that a president gets to appoint the same number of justices each term they serve.

  3694. America failed in Vietnam and Korea, because we chose to fight a limited war. We set up a DMZ, and would not cross it, even though the enemy did. We are doing the same in Ukraine, arming our allies, but not with offensive weapons. We tell them that they may not strike in Russia, despite what the Russians are doing to Ukrainian civilians, and civilian infrastructure. We need arm Ukraine, with what it needs to win, not what it needs to continue a stalemate, that is destroying their country. We also need to provide air cover.

  3710.  @WatcherSCP  Illegal coup? Are you talking about when the Ukrainian people protested, in Maidan, when Putin's puppet broke his word, and signed trade agreements with Russia, not the EU? Then, because that oligarch fled to his master, Putin invaded Ukraine, and held a corrupt referendum, where you could only vote if you were a Russian. It was the invasion, and false referendum that were the illegal coup.

  3712.  @WatcherSCP  The Ukrainian economy sucks because Russian oligarchs stole so much of its wealth, Russia keeps attacking the Ukrainian infrastructure, and Ukraine has to spend so much money on defending itself from Russian aggression.

  3733.  @quirk8841  An unscientific definition. My biology text from university defines it better: in mammals, the unborn young in the uterus, especially at later stages of development. For example, the human young is usually called an embryo for the first three months of development and a fetus thereafter. Since most abortions occur while it is an embryo, that makes your argument even feebler.

  3734. Fines, imprisonment, and parole, are all fine deterrents. There is no just reason to take a person's rights away, for the rest of their life. Once they've paid their debt to society, they should get their voting rights (and right to run for office) restored. The idea is the people won't elect a criminal. Although, of late, being a criminal is the norm, in the GOP.

There was a study that recently concluded, after ten years of study, to determine if a certain cocoa extract could ward off senile dementia. It turned out, that extract had absolutely no effect. However, the control used was a multivitamin (Centrum silver), and it turned out that the control group developed dementia at a much reduced rate, from the general aged population.

  3747.  @ShaneLindie  Moron, the virus always destroys the infected cell after replicating, that is how new viruses are released to infect others. Viruses mutate all the time, especially those with a single stranded genome. And, not only are there point mutations, but recombinations. You claim to be a virologist, but are ignorant of this basic fact? And nobody talks about "cross contamination", but coinfection, which only applies to viruses with segmented genomes, like influenza. Most zoonotic viruses emerge in a different way. If you're going to lie, learn a little about the science you falsely claim to know. Your ignorance is astounding!

  3773.  @pindapoy1596  Take a look at a map. The parts of the world, with the darkest people, are in Africa, not Asia. And the Arabian peninsula is in Asia. Most American black people are descended from west Africans, and they are quite dark, although some are lighter, because of rape by master, before Emancipation. I admit that some Yeminis are very dark, darker than Afro-Americans. But, usually Ethiopians are darker. Also, most of the higher Arab families have a good bit of European blood in them, courtesy of Slavic slaves in the harem. It doesn't matter how dark or light the slaves, the Saudis keep are. It is wrong. Many are Filipinas, who came to make money as housemaids, but were forced into sexual slavery. I was told that Pakistanis are employed as laborers in construction and such, and although very poorly treated, not slaves. Or maybe that's just the UAE and Qatar.

And human behavior is often illogical. Walensky can't just remove a pump handle, to stop this pandemic, she has to convince irrational people to behave in a rational manner. One would have thought, when we were offered free, safe and highly effective vaccines, everyone would have quickly become vaccinated. Sadly, too many people are incapable of making a rational risk assessment, and doing the right thing, and the pandemic rages on. So now this woman, trained to think in a logical manner, has to communicate to very illogical, highly obstructive and obstinate people. No wonder she felt she needed help.

But, if he can further ruin their economy, or install another puppet oligarch, Ukraine is no longer a threat.

  3808. @Uick You are comparing an armed mob, that tried to take over the capitol, with a group of peaceful protestors, marching in freedom square. The Jan. 6 insurrectionists were trying to prevent the lawfully elected president from taking office, in order to keep a tyrant, who never won the popular vote, to illegally stay in power. Those in Maidan, organized as a grassroots protests, because the president was breaking his word, to form a trade alliance with the EU, and instead did so with Russia. If those protestors had not been attacked, by militarized police, and violent felons release from prison, Yanukovych could have stayed in power. Instead, he used truly brutal means to break up the protests, firing on unarmed people with live ammunition. Protest leaders were kidnapped, and tortured to death. That brutality is what caused everyday Ukrainians to do whatever they could to help the protestors, provide medical aid, food and clothing, or join the march. The tension between Ukraine and Russia is due to Russia's invasion of Crimea and Donbas, when Putin's puppet fled to Russia.

  3809. Unlike leftist parties, Likud has primaries, and the members of Likud voted to put Netanyahu on the top of the list. Then the voters in Israel gave Likud more seats than any other party.

  3810. A lot of comments by people too lazy to look the paper up. The study was designed to prove the efficacy of a cocoa extract, and the multivitamin (Centrum Silver) was used as a control. So, no, this was not funded by the vitamin manufacturer. If you peruse pubmed, you'll find a lot of papers showing the beneficial effects, on memory and cognition, of several vitamins and minerals, so this is hardly a novel finding. My primary takeaway, from this paper, is that negative results are often more useful than positive ones. They intended to show chocolate was good for cognition, and instead proved the benefits of a simple, inexpensive multivitamin. (I rather wish the results had been otherwise. I'd have loved to tell my children, that the chocolate I eat, is to keep my mind sharp.)

  3812.  tin pan alley 1619 Broadway  Many manufacturing jobs are gone, not because they were shipped overseas, but because they were taken over by automation. But, that means there are jobs running and programming the robots. There are fewer of them, but they pay better. The problem is our education system does not prepare our children well for high tech jobs. When my child (now grown with a child of her own) was doing pointless exercises in third grade, I asked her teacher why. The teacher responded that she was trying to make math fun. I replied, "Math is fun. But only when your teacher understands it. Why don't you teach her about square roots or imaginary numbers? She's not having fun because she is bored. Your lessons are too easy." And she didn't even know what an imaginary number was. We cannot raise tech savvy people, when the teachers are so ignorant. Math incompetents should not be hired to teach in any school. High schools need to stop hiring the math teacher because they need him to coach basketball or swimming. We are still preparing our children for the jobs of yesterday, and nobody is going to bring back the making of buggy whips.

  3816.  @Mark-wq4ux  No, Biden is doing everything he can to prevent the conflict. The only person who can end it is the one who started it, Putin. And you are either really ignorant, really unintelligent, or a Russian troll. My money is on troll.

  3817.  @dsquared341  No, he did not make good points, he made stupid specious points. A job does a dead man no good. Countries, that have taken the approach dimwits like Joran espouse, and just continued on, without quarantine, have had the worst death rates, and have given rise to the most dangerous, infective variants. You want to see what the US would look like, if we'd done as Jordan wants, look at Brazil. And one does not have a Constitutional right to ignore simple public health measures, like vaccination requirements. The Supreme Court decided that in 1905. So, Jordan's raging about his Constitutional right, to have the freedom to infect others, was a display of ignorance.

  3821. The FBI does background checks for judicial nominees. In all other cases, when such an accusation is brought to their attention, the investigation is reopened. But, Trump has ordered them to keep it shut, unlike Bush did with Thomas. Why? What is he afraid will be found?

  3822. I grew up in California. It has always had seasons, the rainy season, when the hills are green, and the dry season, which lasts most of the year. People from back east told me they felt sorry for me, because I never got to go sledding. They didn't realize we had a great time, during the dry season, using cardboard boxes to sled down the hills covered with slippery dry grass.

  3825. Sorry, this shit started in the 60's. That's when the Viet Name war and the war on drugs divided the nation. It got worse in the 70's. That's when the "moral majority" hijacked the GOP. Not sure about the message boards in the 90's, I only read the tech boards. It was a good way to get references to white papers of new languages. Back then the best way to drive traffic to the sites I was developing was by using rings.

  3829. Isn't it pathetic, how these 'let it rip' types point to places, that have tried to control gun violence, and say "Look, gun control doesn't work", while ignoring the reason it doesn't is, there are neighboring cities and states, that allow free access. Chicago continuing to have gun problems, is proof that gun control must be federal in order to be effective. If straw purchases were illegal, Chicago's problem would be greatly reduced.

  3832.  @francescolevine3031  There's nothing fake about the mail in ballots. People voting in a way you don't like invalidates nothing. Give it a rest already. In December 2000, the Florida recount was completed, and Gore was found to have actually won Florida. That means he really won the presidential election. But, Bush was about to be sworn in, and Gore didn't want to cause chaos. So he let things be. This is late September, more than half a year into Biden's term. It's over. Trump lost. Even if you could manufacture a bunch of ballots, and "show" that Trump won, it's too damned late! Be more like Gore.

  3835.  @JeffreyGoddin  Self contradicting idiots is a much better definition of "progressives", not libertarians. The problem with libertarians is, they are too focused, they make no allowances for luck, and chance determines a person's prosperity much more than hard work.

  3838. Those Michigan "protesters" were actually paid to do so by a De Vos family funded right wing group. One should not equate a group of paid thugs, who endangered lives by stopping ambulances, with a real protest march. And what did these paid for "protesters" say they were upset by? They had to mow their own lawns and couldn't go to their lake homes. Such a hardship.

  3842. Just because Trump claims other members of NATO increased their spending because of his belligerent behavior doesn't make it so. None of the members agreed to bring their spending up higher than they had previously agreed to do because of Obama's requests. He made a lot of noise, upset our good allies and accomplished nothing. Yet he claims victory for something Obama had already accomplished.

  3854. Yes, you can mathematically prove problems have no solutions. However, when I took Finite Automota, in grad school, I was able to prove a problem was unsolvable, using math theory. Then I wrote the code that solved it. The professor looked at my proof, said it was correct. Then I showed him the program I'd written. He ran it, and then said, "You should not have been able to do this." It was a conundrum. Kahane came up with a practical, and humane solution, to a supposedly unsolvable problem.

  3855. My state went to all mail in ballots in 1998, and others states have followed us. Some analysts looked at voter turnout and election results after our states made this change. When comparing presidential years to presidential years, and midterms to midterms, there was a rise in voter turnout, but no change in the types of politicians elected. Our blue state stayed blue, and red states stayed red. The only difference was voting was much easier and more secure. I know Democrats think greater voter turnout will favor them, but the data doesn't support that idea. So, if making voting more convenient won't favor either party, why not do so?

  3859. I wonder if you would have done your duty, if you and your family was in danger, and those who were supposed to protect you, were trying to whisk you away from that duty. Pence was a complete doormat, for most of his term of VP. But, when Republican Senators tried to press phony slates of electors on him, he refused them. And when Trump tried to bully him into throwing election results into question, he refused him. And when SS agents tried to get him out of the capitol, but did not promise to return him, he refused to get in the car. It may have been a very brief moment of integrity, but Pence stood for the Constitution, and refused to go along with the coup plot, when it mattered most, and when other cabinet members did not. When the kid, who never hit the ball before, hits a homerun, it is more remarkable than when the star batter does so. And that is what makes Pence's moment of patriotism so outstanding, his obeisance to Trump, in the years preceding.

  3871.  @twesj  No, the problem is too many mothers not breastfeeding. When I was pregnant, when my daughter was pregnant, we both were bombarded with advertisement, which falsely claimed formula was better. All the growth charts were designed by formula companies, and if your infant isn't corpulent, some act like it is starving. Breastfed babies are healthier, protected by maternal IgA, and are less at risk of being overweight as adults. Infants given formula have a much greater risk of developing type 1 diabetes and allergies.

  3878. Maybe we need to pass a civics test to be able to vote. I know that brings back memories of the Jim Crow south, but the problem with those polling tests were they had a grandfather clause, so whites needn't pass them, and were designed to be impossible. I'm talking about something like immigrants must take to become citizens. And making it universal, not grandfathering in idiots. We certainly need to bring back civics classes in high school, the ignorance some people have of how government works is appalling. If everyone understood how the Electoral votes are counted, would fools have stormed the capitol?

  3886.  Joe Biden Says:  The so called lab leak wild conspiracy theory is not supported by any reputable virologist. The genetics of the original Wuhan strain, and the locations of all the original human infections, demonstrate it emerged from bats, passed through another mammal, and then to humans at wet markets. Take a look at where all the first patients lived, on the wrong side of the river for it to have come from a lab, clustered around two wet markets.

  3887.  @Nostradumlbass  When Harris was a DA, she pushed for diversion programs. When Biden shepherded through the crime bill, the streets of all major cities were unsafe, crime rates were going through the roof. Black community leaders advocated for this bill. The results were unintended. We have never lived in a perfect world, and nobody can see the future. Don't castigate good people for not having 20/20 hindsight.

Even if they felt a pressing need to tick that box, couldn't they have found a Latino with the correct education and background? My primary care physician is Latina, and certainly better qualified, than Becerra, for this position. Qualified persons exist, there was no need for this bad choice. Stop picking friends, and friends of friends, for high level positions, and pick the best person for the job.

  3896. That's false, ivermectin is not a polymerase blocker. It was thought it might block the part of the spike protein that ACE-2 binding site, competitive inhibition, but clinical trials showed it completely ineffective. There is one monoclonal antibody that seems to work, regardless of the infection stage, that was developed against staph enterotoxin B, which is identical in configuration to an important antigenic site on the spike protein. That should be investigated, while all the antiparsiticals are delegated to treating parasitical infections.

That area is mountainous, and there is no human developments, very unlike similar mountainous areas in California. It's vast, wild, rugged and devoid of people. My dad and I SCUBA dived together, so I know it would be much easier to detect and retrieve from sea, than those mountains.

  3900. He's not the only child, from his state, who will be going to college, or getting a scholarship. Some states are offering a sweepstakes as an inducement to do the intelligent thing, and get vaccinated. With kid, instead of money, they get a scholarship. Simple. This is smart, as the same people incapable of risk analysis, which would prove it is safer to be vaccinated, also think they have a snowball's chance of winning a lottery. If you're smart, you know it's safer to be vaccinated. If you're stupid, you think you can win.

  3906. Maybe that is true of some social frats, but it certainly is false about the professional frats. I belonged to AXΣ, a chemistry fraternity. It went co-ed in 1970, so lost its house. (UCLA living was segregated by sex because of a bequest by Myra Hershey.) Instead, we had most of the basement of Young Hall for our use. I wouldn't have made it through without my frat brothers (many of who were also girls.) We only had three parties a year, after finals week was over. My husband wouldn't have had a place to live, if not for his frat at MIT, ZBT.

  3907. Funny how Republicans forget Social Security was on a good footing, before they decided to raid that cookie jar, in the 1980s, so they could cut taxes to the rich, while continuing spending. Then Clinton came along, and cajoled Congress into saving Social Security and balancing the budget, only for Republicans to raid those funds again, to cut taxes while increasing spending, again. Any talk of Social Security running out of money, from a Republican, is hypocrisy, as they are the ones who caused the problem.

  3929. Not quite. The immune system has two components, cellular and humoral immunity. Humoral immunity is B cell production of antibodies, after being presented with the antigen by a T helper cell. Cellular immunity consists of macrophages, granulocytes, eosinophils, blast cells and T killer cells. They communicate with each other with cytokines. Many of the people who recovered with no symptoms have no antibody production, but their T killer cells are shown, in vitro, to destroy the virus. While most of the people who developed a lot of antibodies suffered terrible symptoms. I'll take a proper cellular response any day, over humoral response.

Denigrating the rise of a moderate third party, that better suits the attitudes of the majority of the country, is a good thing, no matter how the extremist major parties paint it. If they don't like the fact moderates will vote for a moderate candidate, they should move their party policy planks back towards the centrist majority of the country. The parties don't own us, or our votes. They have to earn them.

This is sort of disgusting because Kan was part of the group of national broadcaster who refused to play Mitzrachi music. And now, they are using the voices of dead Mitzrachim to push their agenda? Thankfully, the song sound flat, lacking all the richness of the real voices of these singers.

  3937. Maybe it's not like this now, but in the hick town I grew up in, many of my classmates joined the military because they couldn't get into college, and wanted to go anywhere but where we grew up. They knew that they would get good training that would give them a career when they left. It was either that, or stay on the ranch, or end up pumping gas. The military was a good choice.

  3939. When I look at Congress, the most deranged members, in both parties, are the younger ones. A lower age limit makes sense, as you seldom find a wise person under 40. They may think they are wise, but they aren't. Putting an upper age limit or term limits on politicians denies voters experienced representatives.

  3944. But, leaving Trump out of it, Republicans won in 2020. The Senate is evenly balanced, at present, and wouldn't have been 50/50 if Trump hadn't suppressed the Georgia GOP vote. They took back seats in the House, and unless Democrats loudly repudiate the Defund the Police lunacy, will retake control in 2022. In state houses, their gains were even greater. So now they get to redraw district lines, again. And, in case you forgot, the states that made significant population gains in the 2020 census (with the exception of my state) are all red. That means more Republican representatives. You're so busy telling yourself that we are winning, you don't see that they are.

While I agree with removing many of the monuments to Confederates, that were put up early in the 20th century, I don't agree with removing statues of our Founding Fathers. Thomas Jefferson's main claim to fame was not his owning of slaves, but his role in the making of our country. I am disgusted that the same people, who'd erect a statue to a drug addicted felon, who is only known for his ignoble death, advocate for removing the statue of the man who wrote the Declaration of Independence, founded the world's first non-religous college, and was an early president of the country.

Just like others, in love with their own cleverness, he has strong opinions about subjects he knows nothing about. I doubt he would ever read a book, about virology, and alleviate some of his ignorance. That would require admitting he isn't omniscient. He's funny, but thank goodness he never married or had children. He's far too self centered to have been a good spouse or parent.

Many vaccines require boosting, like DPT.

Companies with hourly workers are offering extended sick days and sick pay. Corporate labs have developed their own testing, and started testing Monday. If we survive this crisis, it will be due to the efforts of local officials and corporations. Don't blame them, because Trump is focused on the wrong problem.

  3984. True, the Ukrainians aren't the only civilians being targeted. Israeli civilians are so used to being targeted, that every apartment building has to have a bomb shelter. And in the newer high rises, there has to be a reinforced room, a mamad, which adds about $15K to the cost of each unit. When you walk around larger cities, there are always reinforced metal boxes, every few blocks, for bomb disposal. And there are metal detectors at the entrance to supermarkets and malls. All this defense is why the cost of living is the highest in the world. But, Israelis aren't Europeans, so who cares? The excuse in Syria was, it was their own government targeting them, this is Shiite vs. Sunni, and we don't get involved in civil wars. So Sunnis were killed and driven from their homes, the same way the Jordanian army drove the native Jews from their homes in Judea and Samaria. It isn't Europe, so who cares? And we don't step in, to stop the killing of civilians, in the nearly constant 'civil' wars in Africa either. One tribe is always killing another, but it isn't Europe or the US, so who cares?

  3991. Trump just spouts out that Obama had campaign finance infractions, but doesn't state the difference. Yes, Obama's campaign failed to record some contributions due to clerical errors, and paid a $375,000 fine for those errors. But, Obama didn't purposefully deceive the government. Trump intentionally went through all sorts of machinations to hid the payments to former sex partners and the source of those payments. It is like the difference between making a stupid mistake on your tax return, and hiding your money offshore and never reporting it, like Manafort did.

All that was needed to produce these vaccines, was the genetic sequence of the target antigen, which we've had since January. What took ten months was safety and efficacy testing. Complaining that this vaccine only took ten months, is like complaining a copier produces a document too quickly. The hard part, the development of the science, has been in the works since the 1960s.

Racism is not confined to white people. I had a Chinese American roommate, whose brother hated "round eyes", and only accepted me because Jews originated in Asia. One of my son-in-law's brothers is a total jerk, always on about "blacks will rule", and constantly talking smack about "whitey", despite having a white father. Most people, of all races and creeds, are decent people. But, stop pretending only whites can be racist.

So, they are doing whatever they can to tank sensible public health strategies, like vaccination and mask wearing. Imagine if the country were at war with another nation, and these jerks were interfering with the war effort, for political gain. Instead, we are at war with a virus, and Republicans are giving aid and comfort to the enemy, with antivaccination rhetoric, and the lie that wearing a mask takes away freedom.

  4018. Actually, the way California went about bussing ruined the public schools. Schools got to pick which kids were bussed across town, and they usually got rid of their problems. In LA, after a bunch of rapes, many beatings, and a one kid stabbed to death, in the suburbs, any parent who could afford it, put their kids in private schools. LA went from having top notch public high schools, to being horrible. Biden was right to oppose such a terrible system. And California did away with the awful bussing program in less than a decade. This is one thing Portland handles better. Kids can petition to go to a different high school than the one near them, and black and Hispanic kids get priority. But, nobody with who's a discipline problem is eligible.

Nixon did one thing, cover up the plumbers. That information came out, and since the DNC had done something similar, wasn't as sickening. But, Trump squeaked out of impeachment for his crimes getting elected, and then turned around and did the same thing all over again, only worse. And a little break-in is not nearly as fatal a crime as acting like a mafia boss with the PM of Ukraine, strong-arming him to force illegal campaign assistance. It would be like, if after coming to grips with the Watergate break-in, we then found out Nixon had subsequently held up Fort Knox.

  4042. Of course the police should monitor social media, and look for those criminals posting their crimes, or potential crimes. The only people who would be hurt by this are criminals. The idea that black or muslim people would be hurt by this, pre-supposes that they are the all criminals, which is rather racist. Considering the huge bandwidth of social media, this is a perfect application for AI to monitor all postings. And the idea that monitoring public posts would hurt privacy is ludicrous, as they are not private to begin with. Just as preventing Trump from posting threats does not chill free speech, having AI monitor public posts, plotting crimes, is not an invasion of privacy.

  4053. This is nothing new. Twenty five years ago my then husband and I were visiting friends in Crown Heights. He decided we should take our young daughters to the Children's Museum in Jamaica Queens, which was only a half mile away. Walking back from the museum, three young black guys started following us saying things like "Do you thing they are Jews. Should we kill them?" At that time both he an I were serious weight lifters, and although only 5' 6", we were heavily muscled. So we told our 10 year old to look after her 6 year old sister. Then, pumping blood into our muscles to make them bigger, we turned back towards the thugs shadowing us and gave them a dead eyed stare. One guy said "No, they're not Jews", and they peeled off. That happened in front of a former synagogue that had been turned into a black church. So the argument that Jews are taking over black neighborhoods could not apply. I'm quite sure, if we hadn't had gym bodies, they would have beaten us just for instance.

  4059. And those in the military are under strict control. In other words, they are well regulated. They are the ones the second amendment requires to be armed.

  4060. Typical misogynist. A woman earns her position through intelligence and hard work, and an uneducated male attributes it to giving sexual favors.

  4061. Yeah sure, it's RobinHood's fault, not the parents who raised him. Always looking to blame someone else. A margin call? That means he was trading in futures, something I told my children they shouldn't do unless they were willing to lose much more than they bet. Why didn't his parents teach him a little financial responsibility?

  4062. An athletic supporter for unichs.

  4063. We all knew that Trump was deluded, power mad and corrupt. But, the committee has brought the receipts against all the goons who aided his attempt to install himself as dictator.
    2
  4064. He has a huge castle, with an enormous underground complex, on the Black Sea.

  4065.  cj p  Trump wants them to privatize the NHS even more. It's bad enough he's trying to take away Americans' health care, why does he have to jack the Brits as well?

  4066. Oh man, I used to dive off of Pismo. I'm glad I didn't run into the detritus you dumped into the ocean. Pity you weren't caught and arrested.
    2
  4067. As much as Trump seems to be guilty of many felonies, Mueller demonstrating his guilt won't put him in jail. It will be up to Congress to impeach and remove him. Once out of office, he can be tried and jailed for his many crimes.

  4068. I'd trust CNN over Putin or Trump any day. So would anyone with any functioning intellect.

  4069.  @izzy6o839  So was the criminal blind, because the officer was clearly motioning to get back in the car? And how does a language problem make it fine to grab the taser?

  4074.  @zoso2850  It is happening because Putin lost his stooge in the White House. Remember, he only attacked Ukraine after his Russian oligarch was kicked out of the presidency by Maidan protestors.

  4075. OK, You've given the correct pronunciation of Oregon. Now, how will you pronounce Willamette?

  4076. So they are both Conservative Jews? So am I, and I loathe Trump.
    2
  4077.  @daveatkins3568  He's senile enough his own physicians and staff questioned his mental faculties. Hence the "person woman man camera TV" moment. Trump is so impaired that he didn't realize the words, on the senility assessment he took, were random.
    2
  4078. A normal DOJ does not announce investigations until indictments are made. It was breach of those norms that saddled us with Trump. We will find out exactly what DOJ has on Trump, when he is indicted. It may not come until a year from now, but it will come.
    2
  4079. It is not US policy that is causing Pakistan's problems, it is their population increase. Their population has grown 3.75 times from what it was in 1972, while ours would have shrunk, if not for immigration. The status of Pakistani women needs to be raised, and all the girls educated, to reduce family size and poverty.
    2
  4080. What a sad party the GOP has become. Even with evidence of an impeachable offense, they will not remove a corrupt, treasonous president. Yet, they were gleeful about the prospect of impeaching and removing a Democratic president for a legal, although tacky, affair.

  4081.  @fandomvault4901  CNN did not show the part where they broke into a gate, in a high wall, marked private property.

  4082. Like all baby powder made with talc, it contained asbestos. The product came out in the 1890s, and we didn't know there were problems till the 1980s. It isn't on the market now, yet, even though we knew of the cancer risk of cigarettes in the 1940s, they are still on the market.

  4085. It's an international shortage. Pay attention.
    2
  4086. So, you expected Obama to pay for the forces to protect the embassies out of his own pocket, after the Republican Congress cut funding? Republicans caused the Benghazi disaster, then scapegoated Hillary Clinton. Now, they ignore the obvious fact that the main reason Trump is in power, is because of Russian propaganda and meddling, and attack the justice department investigating the perversion of the election. Nice.
    2
  4087. Richard Patton A joke is funny. There is nothing funny about what Trump is doing. Remember how America's economy tanking hit the world economy like a bomb? The US economy is heavy and requires a lot of torque to move in any direction. It is still doing well because of the momentum of the previous administration. But, soon all the stupid tariffs and bank regulation removal will cause our economy to tank again. You won't be laughing when the resulting tsunami hits your economic shores.
    2
  4088. There a lot of people who aren't saying anything hateful being shouted down. I'm a liberal, but even I find some of the far-left as hateful and racist as the far-right. They have a right to speak, even if you or I don't agree with them.
    2
  4089.  @calkelpdiver  Even states with a lot of wind don't have constant wind or sunshine. Our storage capacity may improve, with time, but until it does we need a constant energy source. Nuclear power emits no carbon, and is constant. Modern plants are very safe.
    2
  4090.  @calkelpdiver  Sure the sun comes up every morning, of course places with a lot of cloud cover see less energy during the day, and none at all at night when power requirements rise in cold climates. At least spent nuclear fuel is reburied, not shot into the sky.
    2
  4091. Frankly, it is more likely this one term idea was floated by another candidate's campaign, to hurt Biden.
    2
  4092. Trump avoided respecting our veterans because he knew no amount of product could keep his hair in place. He should just shave off those last dozen hairs, that he arranges on his scalp, and get a wig.

  4093. Such a wonderful family man, he was willing to blow his family up.

  4094.  Federal Reserve WOLF TheFedWolf  Polio is not as contagious as Covid-19. Also, people changed their lives for decades, because of polio. Many people, who were children before vaccines were available, did not learn to swim, because public swimming pools were often a place children contracted polio.

  4097. Really? It's been 167 years since the Civil War ended, yet many still dispute its result. Despite the fact, the war was fought over slavery, there are many who still claim it was over state's rights, and that the Confederates were the righteous cause. Why, when many still fly rebel colors, are you surprised?
    2
  4098.  @gleidsonmarinho3607  Oooh, "decadence", the old Soviet insult for people living a better life than they could dream of. Problem with you scare tactics is, Ukrainians remember what living under Soviet domination led to, Holodomor.
    2
  4099. Katie Porter would be much better.

  4100.  @boracay12  So de Blasio is an idiot. That doesn't excuse all the terrible things Trump has said and done, including calling this pandemic a hoax rather than preparing the nation for it.
    2
  4101.  @vietnamvet4533  Prior to Zelensky becoming Ukraine's PM, Putin had no need to conquer the entire country, as long as he had his warm water port in Sevastopol and a loyal oligarch in charge of the country. Further, he did not want to lose his puppet in the White House, so played no power games to weaken him.
    2
  4102. Remember, this is one of the few Republican Senators, with enough courage and honesty, to vote to remove Trump. I would not be surprised if the kooks, remaining in the party, primary him out of office. I do hope he is correct about the direction of his party, but I doubt it.
    2
  4103.  @williamnaman3570  Those hostages were taken in 1979, while Carter was still president. You're claiming Reagan sold missiles to Iran, and made secret deals with them, while Carter was president? How? He held no public office, at that time, and had no access to an arsenal to sell to anyone, nor had he any political power to make deals with foreign terrorists.

  4104.  @aubreyarchives  And yet she chose to go to a historically black college, to discover black culture.
    2
  4105. Things Liberals Say Yes, just like in 2016, while Russia was engaging in espionage to help Trump, Trump claimed it was rigged against him, when it was clearly rigged for him. The only way Republicans can win is by cheating. Which is why they gerrymander, rig voting machines and suppress minority votes with voter ID nonsense.

  4106. Do you also believe the earth is flat?

  4107. What exactly is "Israel National News"? I follow all the Israeli news, in both English and Hebrew, and have never heard of this source. Ichilov is now called Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center. Further, the head of that hospital is Aviv Shoher, not this Jerris fellow. Jerris isn't even a Hebrew name. You probably mean Prof. Giris, and all he said was the vaccines are less significant in extremely old or immunocompromised patients, as their immune systems can't respond to the vaccines. Here is the full quote of what he actually said, "היי, כאן פרופ׳ גריס יעקוב, מנהל מחלקה פנימית ו׳ קורונה. הצוות שלי ואני נמצאים בחזית המאבק לקורונה מאז הגל השני ברציפות. אני קורא את הידיעות על שיאי התחלואה, המחלקות שמפוצצות בחולים והתראות מומחים לדחות את ביטול הבידודים לילדים ואני מבקש לתת תמונת מצב מהמחלקה שלי כאן באיכילוב. הגל הזה אמרו לפניי ואחזור גם כעת, שונה מכל הגלים. החולים שמגיעים הינם עם מחלות רקע רבות ולא בגלל האומיקרון. קצב התחלופה במחלקה הוא של סרט נע – כל יום מתקבלים ומשתחררים עשרה חולים בממוצע. רובם באים לקבל טיפול למחלה המקורית ממנה הם סובלים. אחוז התמותה מאוד נמוך וגם כשכן האומיקרון זו לא סיבת המוות. למעשה, אני זוכר חורפים הרבה יותר סוערים אז סבלנו משפעות אלימות במיוחד כמו לפני 4 שנים. החורף הזה, הדבר ששונה עבורי זה שאני מטפל במגוון רחב יותר של מחלות פנימיות ושכולנו סובלים מהבידודים. הרגשתי חובה לשקף תמונת מצב אמיתית מהשטח כדי לתת בטחון לציבור ולמנוע פחד מיותר. השינוי צריך להיות בחיזוק הרפואה הפנימית לא רק בחודשי החורף או כשיש מגיפה אלא כחלק מתוכנית לאומית. עד אז, תהנו עם הילדים שזקוקים לזה כל כך ממראות השלג המרהיבים ותנשמו את האוויר הצח בחוץ של ארצנו היפה. סוף שבוע רגוע ומלא לבן"

  4108. It is still rather kludgy. I looked at it, but with the groups you have to join, it probably won't replace twitter.
    2
  4109. Both India and Israel relaxed Covid restrictions about the same time. The difference, only 2% of India was fully vaccinated, and over 70% of Israelis over 12 were. Consequently, no Israeli has died if Covid in weeks, India has far too many deaths.
    2
  4110. First, it's well known that coronaviruses, like rhinoviruses, don't induce a strong immune response. Second, the initial Covid-19 vaccines were spaced too closely together. Don't think of this as a booster, but the third shot in a series of three.
    2
  4111. This is about restoring justice, democracy and equality. Right wing in Israel is not fascist, but for defending the people. You really should visit Israel before you make another such ignorant statement.

  4114. Avoiding Chinese made products is a good idea anyway. They haven't yet mastered the concept of quality control. If we bought electronic subcomponents from them, we had to test them before we soldered then to a board. A third were useless. The same with Chinese produced gene products and cell lines. Half the time they weren't right.

  4115. The Swiss and Israeli companies, sent the US, millions of doses for free.

  4116.  Yung_KW#2  I saw footage from early in the protest. They were armed from the beginning, and shot at people in their homes. Then the people shot back. Iranian armed Hezbollah are the terrorists. Pissed that their blowing up the port is being investigated.
    2
  4117.  Yung_KW#2  This was started when the port blew up last year. That is on Hezbollah. If they weren't at fault, why are they killing people to prevent the explosions being investigated?

  4120. Kent Balzer, it is not yet against the law to speak the truth or be an opponent of the president. Let's look into the family that has laundered money for Russian mobsters and Oligarchs, has worked hand in hand with the Jersey mob, and has defrauded contractors and clients. There's your crime family.

  4121. Orangutan, A majority of Americans want fully socialized medicine (62%). Most feel that the only problem with the ACA is that it did not give us a true single-payer plan, it wasn't socialized enough. Why shouldn't the will of the majority be implemented?

  4123. She is a dangerous crackpot, pushing dangerous ideas. I'm glad that Cooper is exposing just how insane her ideas are.

  4124. Hutchinson was very clear that Ornato told her about Trump's behavior. If he lied, or embellished the story, that is on him, and does not discredit any of Hutchinson's testimony.

  4125. Nope. Take a look a a picture of a 6 month embryo. You can't distinguish it from the embryo of any chordate, be in mammal, bird, reptile or fish. It is not human at all. And, since it sucks the life and vitality of its host, it is indeed a parasite.
    2
  4126.  @jadelilly420  I'm not sure about the masses, but this driver was able to scare other biracial children off his bus. Terrorists try to change the behavior of groups through fear. Blow up discos and pizza places, and maybe people will stop going out. Blow up a few churches, maybe people will stop attending. Abuse the biracial kids, maybe they won't ride your bus. That is exactly what this driver did, even if it was a small group.
    2
  4127. That's false. There was no cyclone in Los Angeles, where I had just moved to at the time. I was born in Southern California, 65 years ago, and spent the first thirty years of my life there. We never had a hurricane or cyclone in that time.

  4128. Yes, when dealing with a pregnancy, but not vaccination against an infectious disease, the decision should be made by the individual. Unless you are a hermit, who never comes in contact with others, get vaccinated.

  4137. In the 1950s everyone got healthcare because of the general hospital system. Internists, fresh out of medical school, were on staff, and specialists volunteered their time. But a two tiered system of medicine was deemed discriminatory, and Medicaid was introduced. As physicians had to add staff to deal with more paperwork, the cost of medicine rose. Lawyers began suing over everything, and unnecessary tests were ordered to CYA. As malpractice insurance became more than a physicians salary, medical costs rose. One of the major reasons medicine became so expensive, if not the main reason, was the insurance industry; lawyers also contributed.

  4138.  @op3129  Sykes doesn't support either of those fellows. He was talking about how divorced from reality they are, just this week. And, Sykes also voted for Biden. So your point is nasty and untrue.

  4139. They did use fact checkers on the debates, but since the Democrats were all honest, they found no errors. However, whenever Trump speaks, he can't help but lie.

  4140. Her emotional experience is identical to that of other sexual assault victims. When she tells her story, it resonates with their's. They, too, suppressed the memory for years. That is why they believe her. If you had been a victim, you would too.

  4141. Funny how all the data shows that blood clots are much more common (>100x) from infection, than vaccination, yet all the trolls claim to know one of the very few people who got clots from vaccination. They probability that you're lying, is far greater than the miniscule probability of any serious side effect from vaccination.

  4144. Cancel culture can be seen, when speakers and entertainers are uninvited to colleges, because they have ideas that are contrary to that of some students. If you can't take a joke, don't laugh. But, don't try to silence the comedian. But, when someone, using social media, breaks the rules of conduct they agreed to, that is not cancel culture. Is cancel culture bad? Of course. Universities and colleges should be a place where ideas are explored, not shut down. But, deplatforming those who are pushing a dangerous agenda and disinformation, and have broken the rules, is not cancel culture.
    2
  4145.  @RemoteViewer1  Coronaviruses have been around a long time, but not the virus that is causing the pandemic. It only hit the human population in 2019. Viruses were here long before mammals. But, intelligent people get the vaccines we have, to prevent them causing disease. You're still here, so what? Are you the only person, in the whole world, who matters? So far, 5,827,629 have died because of Covid-19. Their lives were just as dear, to them, as yours is to you. Stop being such a selfish git, and get over yourself.
    2
  4146.  @RemoteViewer1  I've known about coronaviruses since the late 1970s, so what? This is a novel coronavirus. It is unique, among other diseases, because most transmission occurs before a person is symptomatic. That is why it is so damned difficult to control, especially when morons refuse to be vaccinated.
    2
  4147. Why should people only have bad choices? Rather than force us to vote for one shit sandwich or the other, why can't we have someone who we feel good about voting for. Third parties allow one to vote for someone we actually like, not the better of two evils.
    2

  4152.  @alexxela9502  The whole world knows Russia already has troops within Ukrainian borders, as they are occupying Crimea. And, Russia would not have so many troops surrounding Ukraine, complete with blood supplies, if it were not intending war.
    2
  4153.  @alexxela9502  The last thing Biden wants, is a war. It is Putin, who is worried about losing power, and trying to distract his people with another war of conquest. There was no genocide perpetrated by Ukraine, on Donbas. But, I'm sure Ukrainians remember the genocide Russia perpetrated on them, when all their food was stolen by the Kremlin, Holodomor.
    2
  4154.  @real_lostinthefogofwar  No, NATO is not surrounding Russia. Due to Russian aggression, and illegal seizure of parts of Ukraine and Georgia, more countries are requesting NATO membership. It would be easy for Russia to stop NATO's expansion, just stop bullying its neighbors. Russia is like the rapist, complaining that more and more women are carrying rape whistles and pepper spray.

  4158. How many would be killed if the KKK marched through a black neighborhood with guns, to 'protest' an investigation of their blowing something up?

  4159. Violence surrounding the drug trade is the result of prohibition. If you really want that problem gone, you'll have to legalize drugs. It isn't like we don't have crazy violence on our side of the border. And, as far a smuggling of drugs, don't you know about tunnels and secret vehicular compartments? The wall will solve nothing, cost the taxpayers money better spent on infrastructure, imminent domain people out of their land and cause havoc in wildlife populations. Half of illegal aliens just overstay visas. No wall will stop that. You want to get rid of illegal aliens in this country, impose stiff fines on those who employ them. Trump is against that simple solution, because he employs illegals.

  4164. TexasBrown He might have won in 08 with a different running mate. If he had run with Joe Libermann, I would have voted for him. But Sarah Palin is a few bricks short of a load, and McCain had already had a brush with cancer. Many of us, who would have voted for him, were thrown off by the idea that a complete nutcase would be a heartbeat away from the presidency.

  4166.  @Beantastrophe  Replacement theory is racist, and was used by Hitler as an excuse to kill Jews. To repeat it is just revolting, as well as racist. And noting that the Proud Boys founder is Latino, doesn't stop it from being racist. Mexico has a very racist culture, a strict caste system with Hildagos at the top, and Indios at the bottom. Which if you spoke Spanish, and ever travel beyond TJ, you'd know.

  4167. People believe the congresswoman because Trump has repetitively displayed this sort of disrespect and disregard for the feelings of others. He he had been a decent person in the past, nobody would believe her. Also, your immature name calling makes your comments of no import, but rather like a especially stinky fart, empty and disgusting.

If you mean the Apollo manned flight to the moon, remember staying up for that, with my mom nudging me awake every few minutes, then being too tired to go to grade school the next day. Everybody always says the first words were "One small step for man,...." But, I remember them being more like, "There's a lot of soft stuff, and you can kick it."

  4186.  @thetaexali9550  Black people didn't come to the UK, in significant numbers, until after WW II, and still account for only 3% of the population. So what, that a black MP wasn't elected until 1986? The first Welsh MP wasn't elected until 1966, and they have always accounted for a much more significant amount of the population.

  4187. If so many people look at these nuts, and think they are the lesser evil, how crazy is our side? If our response to rampant inflation, is to pass even more inflationary bills, who can blame people for voting for Republicans? If our response to some kids doing poorly in school, is to remove all metrics of academic ability, and take away programs for better students, who can blame parents for voting Republican? The correct response is not to call the other side crazy, but to promote programs that really will help the majority, or at least not harm them.

  4192. So, say you get both doses and are immune. How are any of the people you pass going to know that? You know you're relatively safe to be around, without a mask, but they don't Why cause them needless anxiety? And, if a lot of people see you, and other immune people, walking around without masks, they'll go maskless too, even if they can still infect people. Unless we start putting a big "I" tattoo on immunized people's foreheads, just wear a mask in public, until the virus is under control.

  4198.  @DoSe420  More people had died of Covid-19, under Trump, than under Biden, but let's leave that lie to the side. How did Trump mishandle the pandemic? 1. Both Bush and Obama realized some emergent disease would hit the US, and did their best to prepare against it, including a national security group, to constantly be alert to new outbreaks, and sending experts overseas, to ward off any emergent epidemic. Trump ended or defunded every group or policy those two president had established, to prevent an epidemic. 2. PCR reagents have a limited shelf life, and should be periodically replaced. Because Trump had drastically cut funding to the CDC, they could no longer afford to keep those reagents current. Consequently, PCR test kits the CDC prepared, to detect Covid-19 infections, did not work. When the WHO offered the US functional test kits, Trump refused them. Thus, early in the pandemic, when test and trace could have prevented the spread of the virus, we could not adequately test. 3. Other developed countries prevented some spread by requiring any residents, returning to their home country, to quarantine for two weeks upon return, especially from China. When it was obvious that other countries had the virus, all returnees had to quarantine. Trump instituted a travel ban, only of Chinese citizens, and never required any quarantine of people returning to the country. This allowed the virus to enter west coast cities, especially those with a lot of high tech employees, from China, and to enter the east coast from Europe. 4. When it became obvious that several cruise liners were centers of infection, Trump did not want passengers tested, because he didn't want "bad numbers", and instead sent passengers to military facilities. Homeland security agents were sent, by Trump, to meet them without wearing any protective gear and those agents then spread the virus throughout rural central California. Those are just some of his mishandling in the first couple of months of the pandemic. He nixed a plan to send masks to every home in the US, despite the masks already being purchased. He coopted the information briefings, spouting dangerous disinformation, and promoting ineffective and dangerous treatments, just because he couldn't abide Pence getting any limelight. He treated federal stockpiles of protective gear, as his own personal property. He never made inexpensive test kits available to US citizens, as all the European and east Asian countries have done. And when pharmaceutical companies produced vaccines, he took credit for them, but did absolutely nothing to see them distributed to the residents of this country, leaving each state to its own limited devices. Frankly, I could easily write a 50 page paper on everything Trump did to mishandle this pandemic, but those were the highlights for me.

  4200. Your scientist attitude was true in the 70's. (Although I knew one atmospheric scientist at UCLA, who was already in panic mode in 1977.) But seeing the new droughts, wildfires, floods, etc. we are now facing, most scientists are a bit less sanguine than you portray them. Not only do they think we need to drastically slow down the amount of carbon we pump into the atmosphere now they are trying to develop methods of removing carbon.

The spike protein has a super-antigen, that can pass the blood-brain barrier and cause neurological damage, and can evoke an autoimmune type of response. That section of the spike protein is not in any of the vaccines so vaccines are much safer than infection.

  4230. Neither side did well, in the candidates they nominated. Admittedly, where Trump endorsed a candidate, truly bad ones were chosen. But then, his metric is whether or not they support the Big Lie, not competence or sanity. In Senate races, the Republicans put up a truly particularly candidate in Georgia, but so did Democrats in Wisconsin.

Even though India is a vaccine producer, and has one of the largest supplies in the world, people thought that Covid had been defeated, by a drastic lockdown, and chose not to be vaccinated. Less than 2% of the Indian population is fully vaccinated, and less than 10% has received one dose. Despite all these deaths, there are over ten million doses just lying around, and there has been a lot of vaccine wastage, especially in Lakshadweep and Tamil Nadu

If people had listened in the 60's, and only had enough children to replace themselves, we wouldn't have the crisis on our hands that we do. Every extra person on this planet produces more carbon, eats more animals that cause more carbon, uses more things that produce carbon in manufacturing them. Sure, first world countries may produce a bit more carbon per person, but we produce a lot less people per person. Improve the status of women, so they aren't just baby factories.

(Of course Obama had no problem with breaking Israeli campaign finance law, by illegally donating money to Netanyahu's opponents. But the US's crime is not Israel's.) You're confusing AIPAC, a US lobbying group, that receives money from US citizens, with Israel. If you don't like lobbying groups, see about changing campaign finance laws. But, don't claim Jews have no right to make political contributions, that is discriminatory, and disgusting.

  4284.  @Mark-db8id  I don't know what others wrote, The figure of 11% comes from a broad study by an medical insurance company. And long term disability means loss of cognitive function, heart function or lung function. The company knows how many people are still unable to work due to disability from Covid-19. Do listen to TWiV. No matter how many times I debunk your lies, you don't change.

  4289. It was wiped out in the developed countries long before it was wiped out in poor countries. The last US smallpox case was in 1949, the last case in the world was in 1977. When every US citizen is vaccinated, then we can think about helping other countries, not before. Why should a country that buys vaccines, with tax dollars from its citizens, give those vaccines away to someone who did not pay for them? There are people in Africa who do not have a house. Are you going to sell your home, and send the money to Africa?

When they gave a large number of doses to China for testing, the first thing Wuhan labs was try to patent the medication as their own, even though they had nothing to do with its development. Other countries have not yet approved the drug for sale in their countries. And, after China's attempts to steal the drug, I can see why the company might be leery of foreign countries. Second, even the BBC article admits that the US is buying most, not all of the labs limited production. From the BBC article is this bit, "Under US law, export of drugs considered essential to treatment of patients in a public health emergency can be banned - and many other countries, including the UK, have similar legal provisions." This is definitely a public health emergency, and the UK and EU have openly bragged about how they have gotten it under control. The US is still suffering, and needs the drug more than EU or UK hospitals do.

  4312. I was raised in a rural environment, yet got a science degree. My rural background has never prevented me from understanding how an experiment works. Why don't you get it? The variable here was the amount of CO2 in the plant's environment. Results: more carbon dioxide grows less nutritious food. The problem is not more urban folk are gullible, it is that some people are too dense to understand the scientific method.

  4313. I've always voted for the best candidate on the ballot. Sadly, that has rarely been the Republican. If all candidates suck, as they have recently, I write in a family member. As he's a fiscally conservative, socially moderate black man, that person has been my son-in-law, of late.

  4320. The reason Iowa has caucuses is New Hampshire. New Hampshire insists on being the first primary in the nation. But, Iowa wants to precede them, so has caucuses. We need to change the order of primaries, preferably rotating them using random selection. This nonsense, where tiny white states get to decide everything has to end. As to the Electoral College, yes it should go. But, I doubt the states, who have out-sized power because of it, would be willing to ratify the necessary Constitutional Amendment.

With each topping, he asked if I was sure, tomato, lettuce, spinach, peppers, and on and on. When I responded yes to each query, he told me nobody ever gets the vegetables. He was also put off by my choice of whole grain bread, and refusal of mayo and ketchup. I looked around at the other patrons, who all overfilled their chairs, and believed him. A lot of the mouths, chomping on their vegetable free sandwiches, didn't have all the teeth they should. And this was in a college town.

  4355.  @frankt9156  China did develop vaccines. But, they decided the western mRNA vaccines or vectored vaccines, would not be as good, as a more traditional attenuated vaccine. They ignored the fact such vaccines seldom evoke a strong adaptive immune response to respiratory viruses. So, their vaccines did not evoke a good immune response. They then tried different delivery systems, of those attenuated or killed vaccines, like a nasal mist. But, those too evoked a poor response. So, finally they have decided to develop mRNA vaccines, but are about two years behind the rest of the world.

It is good it is going. The next biggest problem is sports scholarships, which also admit completely unqualified students, who have to be coddled and given special classes. All sports scholarships should go. Legacy admissions are only the third biggest problem, and should be eliminated after sports scholarships are all axed.

Only one witness went off into flights of fancy, and the changes he wanted to make to the Constitution, and that was the witness the Republicans brought. The three cogent law professors spoke, factually, of the fears of those that wrote the Constitution, that there would arise a president as corrupt and self-dealing as Trump, and what to do about it. and that is the reason that impeachment was written into the Constitution, as a remedy for a president like Trump, who would, with foreign help, pervert our elections.

  4375. Yes, there is a lot of propaganda, from both sides. I'm sure you've been through these attacks, hearing the siren, heading to basement shelters or your mamad. I have too many friends who went through the chemical attacks by scuds. Ukraine isn't the first country to suffer war crimes, constant attacks on civilian targets. I'm waiting for the media to blame Ukraine, and claim the attacks are justified, because they took Russian land, even though it is Ukrainian. Then this would feel totally familiar.

But, this 'woke' stupidity is falling out of favor, as normal liberal realize how destruction 'progressive' ideas are.

They aren't the same person. And Trump had far more contact with Epstein than Bill Clinton ever did. The Trump Foundation was found to be such a corrupt enterprise (mostly because of Trump's misuse of funds) that it has been disbanded. He was not found not guilty, he individual guilt or innocence was not adjudicated. As to brown people being violent in Trump's eyes, he doesn't say it directly, but every time he has called a group of people violent, or "bad hombres" they have a dark complexion. I bet if the hurricane victims in the Bahamas were white, he'd grant them special protection status.

  4413. You're portrayal, of what is happening in Israel, is tainted by racism and lies. When Israel originally became a country again, it was dominated by soviet leaning European Jews. As Arab dominated countries drove out Jews, the majority of the country became Mitzrachi (oriental) and religious. After darker skinned Jews began to rile against the tyranny of the left leaning government, the Likud came to power. This upset the left leaning courts, that were dominated and nominated by communist sympathizing Jews of privilege. They took power, that they were never legally granted, to overturn any law they did not agree with, based upon their personal idea of "reasonableness". Any law, that helped the majority, and might have made Israel a more just country, were overturned. The privileged still think religious and Mitzrachi Jews don't know enough to be able to vote intelligently, and all these protests are like when white parents protested against school integration. They say they are for democracy, while fighting for autocracy and racism.

They both yelled at me, that other parents don't do that, to which my ex replied, "Other mothers can't write code, and don't understand Linux. If they could, they would." My point is, it is nearly impossible to control what your children access, once they are post pubescent.

Sure, it's easier to deal with one government, one army, but not realistic. Instead we should have sent liaisons to every tribal leader, and coordinated with local militias. Then those who fought with us would have been fed, armed and paid.

Sure gay and homosexual are not found in the bill that passed, but were in the original bill. And it was that original bill, that riled up Disney workers, to demand action from their employer. When the state supersedes local district decisions, how can that be anything but big government? The GOP used to be for local control, not micromanaging by state government.

  4429. The Jewish day of fasting and repentance is Yom Kippur. We do not wear ashes, but white clothing, and no leather. To mourn, we tear our clothing and do not shave or cut our hair. I don't know where the ash thing comes from, but it isn't a Jewish custom at all.

  4439.  JohnPaul Jones  Expanding the court is not the only answer to that problem. Justices have been impeached, or forced to resign because of the fear of impeachment, in the past. If it turns out that any of Trump's appointments perjured themselves, they could be impeached, removed and replaced. I think that would be a better way to deal with the court imbalance, if Ossoff and Warnock win. Otherwise, the number of justices might increase to a ridiculous level.

  4441. Abortion does not kill a baby, as a baby is a neonate. So, you don't like abortion, then don't have one. Don't force other women to suffer because of you misconceptions. As to preventing pregnancy, contraceptives can fail, and BCP have severe side effects. Whether or not a woman continues a pregnancy is nobody's business but hers. I'm fortunate, to have never needed an abortion, but not so selfish and smug, to think others might not need one. I'm not so self centered and self righteous to think every female is as lucky as I've been.

  4442. No, Hezbollah is saying you don't dare investigate who is responsible for the explosions, that blew up the port of Beirut, killing numerous people. They've already forced the removal of one judge, investigating this horrible event. They don't want the blasts investigated, because they are responsible. Why do you think they marched, with weapons, through a neighborhood that is not aligned with Hezbollah or AMAL. This was pure intimidation.

  4443. The vaccines already developed don't protect against the variant from Manaus. As to "vaccine coding", China made the original gene sequence public information, over a year ago. Also, those pharmaceutical companies are setting up production in many more countries, it just doesn't happen instantly. A vaccine is not a cure, it is a preventative, just like mask. I saw pictures of Brazil last week, nobody was wearing a mask. Why aren't they wearing masks?

  4469. Ricky Spanish, there has been climate change just in my lifetime. I've seen the little California city I grew up in go from never hitting 90F, to have temperatures over 105F every year. I've seen the wildfire season, in the west, going from just 3 months to year round. I've seen the water-table drop precipitously. This is a sudden change, unlike any the world ever saw before, and the correlation between CO2 levels and temperature rises is undeniable. You'd have to be intentionally oblivious not to see this rapid climate change is caused by man. As to illegal immigration, to stop it take away the jobs. I remember when Reagan decided to stop punishing the scofflaws that hire illegals. That is when illegal immigration became a problem. If Trump really wanted to stop the problem, he'd start imposing large fines on their employers. But, he won't because he is one of those scofflaws.

  4470. No, polling does not show that such a large, and expensive bill is popular. If those polled are shown how much the reconciliation bill will cost, it is very unpopular. And elections are a far better barometer of the American public than polling. In case you hadn't noticed, polls got the last few elections very wrong. Biden only won because good people, on both sides, were sick of Trump. How else do you explain the number of split tickets, Biden for president, Republicans for everything else. Democrats lost seats in the House, and only hold the Senate through the VP. And we wouldn't have won Georgia, if Trump hadn't convinced Republicans their vote didn't count. Democrats hardly got a 'progressive" mandate, but are holding onto control of Congress by the skin of their teeth. If this bill really were popular, it could be broken into its components, and passed. The fact House Democrats don't do that, proves they know how unpopular this bill is.

  4494. As much as I despise Trump, it is a mistake to go on a fishing expedition against him and his family. If there is evidence of crimes, no matter who that evidence implicates, those crimes should be investigated. But, one of the things Trump did in office, that was so against our Rule of Law, was investigate his political opponents, in an attempt to punish them for being opponents. That is the action of a tyrannical regime, the sort of thing Putin and Erdogan do. As satisfying as it might seem, Biden's administration should not follow the same path.

One week after my guy and I spent a couple of weeks in Ashkelon, the apartment building we'd been in was shelled, and one guy killed. I have a good friend who lives in a moshav near Sderot, and every time Gaza attacks, I worry about her and her two small children. But, it is politically incorrect to make people in the US aware of all the attacks Israeli civilians face. They don't know the constant blare of air raid sirens.

  4516. No, he's a genuine Republican. The Trumpers are RINOs. They are not true conservatives. The Republican party is the party of small government and individual rights. The "moral majority" infiltrated and corrupted it. That left it open for a take-over by a amoral populist.

  4517. We can stop illegals from coming into this country by fining those who hire them. Give ICE a bigger budget, which will be replenished by the revenue from those fines.

  4522.  @OhioOwns  Trump's cult didn't just ask for recounts, they asked for repeated recounts, when the results were against them. They tried to submit phony slates of electors, and overrule the will of the people. They filed 63 lawsuits, of which they only won one partial victory. Despite their constant allegations of fraud, the only fraud found was illegal votes for Trump. Further, Republican run legislatures, in several states, have passed laws allowing them to substitute whatever slate of electors they want, in place of those chosen by the people. This is a threat to democracy, and must be countered by reforming the Electoral Count Act, so only the people's chosen electors count.
    2
  4523.  @OhioOwns  "Against the U.S. military"? I only saw vastly outnumbered Capitol Police fighting the insurrectionists, armed with more than poles, but also bear spray and clubs. There was a plan to ferry numerous semi-automatic weapons to the insurrectionists. It's a good thing they were so bad at planning, that they had no stealthy boat. Trump made sure the military would not get involved, and the only reason National Guard troops finally cleared out the seditionist rioters, was Pence called them out.

But then, anyone capable of critical thinking already thought that. So, nothing new.

  4559.  @strangewayfaringstranger  The virus required two receptors, for membrane fusion, neither of which shows any different distribution in different races. One, TMPRSS2, is expressed more in males, which explains why the disease killed three times as many males, in the beginning. After the Omicron variant, which is so immune evasive because of a change that prevents it binding to TMPRSS2, this sex difference disappeared.

  4565.  @SMS2884  Yes, crime is higher in the inner city. But, if there were fewer guns on the street, there would be less shootings, and the cops would be less jumpy. It doesn't matter the color of the victim, dead is dead.
    2
  4566.  @SMS2884  No, it would still be higher in the US. And you know other countries have crime ridden inner cities too. It's just their thugs have less access to guns.

My daughter got a BA in criminal justice, then realized the police force was no place for a small Jewish woman married to a black man, and became a para-legal. Her degree gave her a good enough understanding of the law that she did her job as well, if not better, as those who had gone to law school.

This issue could very well break up the EU. It certainly led to Brexit. Which will be the next country that decides to leave, because of unwanted "migrants".

  4590. The House will impeach. The Senate will hold a very short trial. Democratic members of the House, acting as stewards, will bring forth the evidence, while Republican members will continue to deflect with Russian conspiracy theories. And the GOP led Senate will fail to remove or censure Trump. Trump will run, claiming to be exonerated. Since the Electoral College stacks the odds in his favor, he will probably win, although losing the popular vote by 5 million this time. Seeing the impotence of the USA, the world will turn to Russia and China. Trump will feel emboldened, and follow in the tryrannical footsteps of Putin and Erdogan, and the USA will cease to have free elections.

  4595.  @IExpectedBSJustNotThisMuchBS  You know, what is sad about your statement is, the original conservationists were conservatives. U.S. Grant established the National Weather Service.

  4601.  @DaleHartley  You think Putin is bad, do read about Stalin. In fact, read about how Stalin caused Holodomor, the starvation death of between one and two million Ukrainians. Read how productive farms, throughout the USSR, were collectivized, and stopped producing much food. Read how intellectuals were sent to gulags in Siberia, just in case they had any contrary ideas. Read about how determined the Soviets were, to wipe out any minority culture, and prevented Jewish education or practice. (It was much like the what the Chinese are doing to the Uighurs today.) Read how science was set back a century, in the USSR, because Stalin decided Lamarck's theory of evolution was better than Darwin's. I had friends, whose families had escaped the USSR, during Brezhnev's rule. It was a far worse police state than Russia today. Nobody was allowed to talk about anything, because one of the few ways of advancement was informing on friends and family, who might entertain dissident ideas.
    2
  4602. No, I guess some people have a problem with understanding. What the CDC, WHO and numerous scientific journals have demonstrated is, those people who recovered from infection and then got vaccinated have the strongest, broadest immunity. While an infection alone can give you some immunity, it is neither as consistent, broad or strong as immunity from vaccination.

  4604.  @JohnOhkumaThiel  University was still rigorous in the 1970s, at least in the sciences at UCLA. As for it being only for the rich, UC universities were inexpensive, and very selective, only the brightest got in. Things have changed. You don't need to be a stellar student to get into college. I looked at my daughters' college text books last decade. They were more like high school books. And dorms are much more posh. The ignoramus, who called you an idiot, would never have survived college in our day. We weren't pampered, like today's college students. We certainly didn't have emotional therapy animals, to get us through finals; and we didn't feel someone expressing a viewpoint different than ours was a micro-aggression.

Studies, using the correct cell lines, animal models, and patient observation all prove ivermectin has absolutely no effect on infection, but does have some very nasty side effects.

Instead of "what makes you so confident" she should have said "what leads you to believe", then it would have been less in your face. But, yes, her tone was off as well.

Halfway through, they'll be screaming for an abortion themselves. If you've never given birth, you have no right to try and stop other people from having an abortion. Thank god that there are non-misogynistic men who aren't going all Handmaid's Tale. The rest of you, don't talk about what you don't know.

  4623. It is just as evil to force a woman to continue a pregnancy against her will, as it is to force her to terminate it against her will. One could easily argue that impotence is god's will. Therefore it is morally wrong to take drugs to allow a man to have sex, when god has ordained he should not. If laws against Cialis and Viagra were passed for those reasons, I'm sure many of these anti-abortion thugs would be screaming that religion shouldn't dictate medicine. If you think abortion is wrong, don't have one. But don't try to impose your idiocy on others.

They engage in simplifications and magical thinking. That is why they are so hostile, when confronted with logic. A real conservative will try to refute your ideas and policies, plank by plank; a member of Trump's cult will demonize you with childish names, and spout lies.

  4631. Why are you afraid of the truth? What this actually does is make sure that justice is done, by preventing the witnesses from hiding behind the fifth amendment. This is fair and is often done. The only reason to against it is the fear of Manafort getting a fair trial, that convicts him.

As long as nobody was being killed, he didn't care.

Also, if you read other tehilim, you'll see David Hamelech was a major horn dog, always writing poetry about how beautiful women's body parts were. How you lot extrapolated the idea that sex is bad, from his poetry, is beyond comprehension. But that is the basic problem. Your death cult makes sex, for pleasure, a bad thing. That is why you want people punished for sexual congress.

  4647. People were voting in this country before television or radio existed. Clearly, it is possible to be elected without big ads. If the amount of air time any candidate could use were limited by law, less money could be spend on such ads. If social media were also treated the same as other media, there would be less disinformation. If the amount of money any candidate could spend was severely limited, money would be less important. If the amount of money any one person or institution could donate to campaigns was greatly restricted, no person or corporation would be able to buy candidates. Yes, now that candidates spend a lot of money, their opponents must also spend. But if all candidates' spending was curtailed, the playing field would be more level and money would have less power to influence everything.

  4648. One major reason people are so disgusted with politicians, is their seeming inability to state an obvious truth, how they can speak for five or ten minutes, without uttering anything definitive. Maybe his people felt a need to walk back Biden's heartfelt statement, but the people welcomed his putting into words what we all feel. That his underlings felt they had a right to undo his statement of fact, is what is wrong with his administration. He was elected president, not them, and they should not lose their minds when he actually says something. If he got off the script more often, and said what he thinks, his approval ratings would be higher.

I'm at risk because my heart was damaged by chemo for cancer, that I did everything possible to prevent. You aren't the only person at risk of dying, financially damaged, and tired of isolating. Romney wasn't one of the Republicans telling people this was a hoax, or pretending that requiring masks was taking away freedom. He's the only one of his party to vote to remove Trump.

You know, if Comey had not tanked Clinton's chance of winning, by disobeying DOJ rules about discussing an investigation, and she'd won then, this all would have happened four years sooner. He was shocked he won then. He'd always planned on taking the White House by force.

  4664. Wow, look at all the hatred a logical comment caused. Most gun owners are in favor of sensible gun laws.I grew in an area where most had guns for hunting, mostly shotguns and 22s. My mother only let me hunt during bow season because she was afraid of idiots getting liquored up and killing me by accident. If a 12 year old girl can bring down a deer with a bow, why do big strong men need powerful semiautomatic weapons to bring down prey? Yet if anyone suggests a reasonable limit on the power and firing speed of weapons and ammo, a small segment of the population goes ape shit. If someone suggests that mentally unstable people should not be allowed to arm themselves, a minority screams "You're not taking my guns!" How crazy are you that you are afraid of losing your weapons?

  4681. What Americans don't know, is reform is needed to return to balance, to restore democracy, and to achieve equality. The objection to needed court reform is due to the fact the Ashkenazi, well connected left does not want to lose their unfair advantages over darker skinned and religious Jews. All the protests are based upon bigotry, and the attitude that democracy, that gives Mitzrachi and religious Jews an equal voice is wrong. If you agree with these protestors, you also must have supported the parents marching against school integration. Just like the Jan. 6 insurrectionists, the protestors hate democracy when it doesn't go their way. Just leave out the part that Israel's judges are appointed by other judges, and neither the people or the Knesset has any say in the matter. And since they only appoint their friends and family, if you're born to the wrong family (ie. dark skinned or religious) you'll never be a judge. Omit the fact that nowhere, in Israeli law, are the courts given the power to overturn anything, they just took it, when darker skinned Jews started electing Likud. Leave out the part that the courts overturn any law they want, not because it is unconstitutional, but because they don't like it. Leave out the fact, other countries without constitutions, don't allow judges to overturn any law. Leave out the fact the courts have even overturned Basic Law, despite it being the closest thing to a constitution Israel has. Omit the fact most businesses have to add a clause, stating any arbitration will take place in foreign courts, because they don't trust Israeli courts.

  4683.  @natalijaasbjornsen8827  Why are you repeating Russian lies? When Ukraine first got its freedom, from being a Russian vassal state, Russia made sure their oligarchs ruled. Reform minded Ukrainians threw the corrupt Russian backed oligarchs out. That was not a nationalistic push, just one to get rid of corruption. Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014, and held a phony referendum. Only Russian speakers were allowed to vote. Then Putin used this rigged referendum as a fig leaf for his land grab, that gave him a much needed warm water port. This invasion, under the pretense of a common language is the same lie he used to justify stealing parts of Moldova and Georgia, before his invasion of Ukraine. This is the same pretense Hitler used to conquer Sudetenland. He is still illegally occupying, with troops, sections of those countries. If not stopped, he will retake all the FSU countries. His goal is to rebuild the Soviet Union.

If the family size, in these countries, was as small as the average family in the US, they'd not need to send their excess children here.

Does, the fact people are willing to vote for a mentally impaired, mendacious, promiscuous Texan, like Walker, mean Georgians are thick, or that we have enough crazies, in our party, to make Walker look like the lesser evil? Why, when people bring up crime, do our politicians shift to gun violence. People are mostly concerned about property crime, and not having to deal with crazies, living on the street. If we could come up with a message, that dealt with all crime, especially the petty crime that makes life miserable, and how to get the homeless off the streets, without just bussing them to another state, Democrats would have no problem winning. And pretending inflation is not a problem, just makes voters angry.

Sure, when people vote, in a different way than you'd like, you can call them names, like stupid, racist or corporate. But, do you think insults will change their votes? Instead, listen to what their concerns are, they differ from yours, but are just as legitimate. Their children, and how they are educated and socialized, in school is their number one concern. They felt only one of the gubernatorial candidates listened to them, and was addressing their concerns, so voted for him. Belittling them may make you feel better, but it will also turn people, with similar concerns away. By not listening, not responding with a pittance of empathy, you guarantee they will continue to vote for the Republicans. You'll never change anyone's mind with an insult.

If you had the virus previously, and then were fully vaccinated, or if you got the booster, you'll be fine.

It emerged in Africa around the 1960s, was brought to Cuba after 1975 (by soldiers fighting in Angola) then circulated through the Caribbean, and was brought to the US in the late 1970s. We saw the first cases in LA around 1977, and patient zero was a gay flight attendant. Scientific politics wanted the disease (GRID) to be genetic, so nobody got research grants to find the retrovirus until around 1980. As to the current pandemic, Israel found this variant rapidly, as they test everyone flying into the country, and sequence samples from suspect countries.

  4755. America did well prior to the Civil War because of slave labor. It was Lincoln who instituted the first income tax to pay for that war. Just because we had some rich robber barons, in the 19th century, does not mean the average American was well off. Until labor unions and granges instituted collective bargaining, workers and farmers barely got by. The prosperity for all, and a strong middle class, were positive outcomes of WWII, which was paid for by income tax. This is 2018, not 1818. Today, tariffs hurt a country's ability to compete in the global market. Look how Harley-Davidson has already sent manufacturing jobs to Europe, due to Trump's moronic trade war.

After the muslim invasion of the rest of the Middle East, arab occupiers in Syria lived such debauched lives, they were not allowed to make hadj to Mecca. They saw the Jews making pilgrimage to Jerusalem, so decided to make their hadj there. That is why they built that mosque, on a site they were forbidden to build. You don't believe the writings of the Jews, the Greeks, the ancient Egyptians, or the Romans, which say Israel and Jerusalem are Jewish, and the Jewish Temple was on the Temple Mount, then believe what the first muslim wrote.

  4759. What are his qualifications again? He doesn't have a degree in microbiology, virology, immunology, or anything that would make him an expert! His very first statement was absolutely false! The latest variants are not more transmissible. (He said transmissive, which is both wrong and the wrong terminology.) Omicron, BA.2 and the like are more immune evasive not more transmissible. They are also not milder, as some ignoramuses have claimed. Those with immunity still can be infected, but they are protected against severe disease. And while vaccinated people, shed less virus, there is no known vaccine that blocks transmission or infection. Unless you're really immunodeficient, there isn't much need to be boosted more often than yearly. The reason that the first booster was needed was, the first two vaccines were given too close together to allow somatic hypermutation (which protects against variants not yet experienced), so a third dose was needed. Much of what he spoke of just shows his ignorance. No vaccine can prevent infection. The mRNA vaccines are amazing, for the breadth and strength of the immunity they produce, much more so than any previous against any respiratory disease. Usually, unless a virus causes a viremia (blood infection) such a strong immune response is not produced. That is why the mRNA vaccines evoke an even better immune response than infection. Also, even when your humoral adaptive immune response contracts, and you have less circulating IgG, you still have memory B and T cells, and that immunity persists for years, not months. So much of what Gates said is just wrong. Please, please, please, bring on real experts, not these uninformed twits, no matter how well meaning. I would suggest Vincent Racaniello, who has a PhD in virology, and teaches at Columbia. If you contact him, he'll come on your show and give you accurate information.

That is the same reason attempts to discover the HIV virus were suppressed. In 1978, a group of students at UCLA went to the head of virology and explained why they thought it had to be a retrovirus, not genetic as was being taught. We hoped to get into grad school on the strength of the plan we presented to discover that retrovirus. The head of the department yelled at us, saying "Do you think you are the first to realize this is a retrovirus? You cannot get funding for this research, it is politically proscribed! The gay lobby wants this to be linked to the gene for homosexuality. You will never get a grant." I know, because I led that group of students.

She didn't die directly from Covid, but it certainly hastened her decline.

  4800. I had to, eons ago, when I in my 20s and lived in Van Nuys. The poll workers decide how strict they want to be. I was pregnant, rushing home from work to vote before the polls closed, and they just waved their friends in, ahead of me, and made me stop and show ID. That is the problem with ID, it's always arbitrary.

The five fastest growing cities, according to an Axios article last month, in order, were Las Vegas, NV, Austin, TX, Raleigh, NC, Bend, OR, and Boise, ID. Nevada is a swing state. North Carolina, Texas, and Idaho are solidly red. Only Oregon is blue.

  4807. You think that you are being ironic, but sadly you are not. We have been experiencing more and more extreme weather because of climate change. I'm not saying we have more hurricanes because we are pumping too much carbon into the atmosphere, but rather that the extra heat in the ocean makes them more severe. Every serious Democratic candidate wants to tackle the climate change problem, while Trump just pretends it doesn't exist. Therefore, a vote for a Democratic president would ultimately address the extreme hurricane problem.

  4808. It all starts with the Supreme Court. It was that court that decided, in 2000, that "W" Bush would be president, and stopped the recount of Florida votes. In 2008, they reversed US v Miller, in Columbia v Heller, and said that the right to bear arms extended to the individual, despite the wording of the second amendment. It was that court that decided campaign funding limits were unconstitutional, and guaranteed that elected officials would work for lobbyists, not their constituents. Imagine the horrible judgements that will come out the current court.

  4809. This strain of potato, FC5, is patented. (It differs from other potatoes by having less moisture.) Lays gave it to Indian potato farmers working under contract for them. Part of the contract was not giving seed potatoes to anyone. The farmer growing the potatoes without contract, Patel, was unwilling to say how he had gotten the seed potatoes. Pepsico said Patel could continue growing the potatoes under contract or pay them $142,840 for the patent infringement. As long as companies can patent plant varieties, corporations have a right to sue for patent infringement. This case is not as bad as farmers being sued because their crops were pollenated by Monsanto crops. The real problem is contract farming, which does not adequately reward the farmer for their efforts.

  4818.  @springsummer7138  This whole NATO 'expansion' thing is total BS. NATO is an alliance, not a country, it cannot expand its borders, as Russia has done, by annexing other countries. It has allowed more countries to become members, and it doesn't have to coerce any country to join. They look at Russian imperialism, expanding its borders, taking over parts of sovereign countries, and want the protection NATO provides. If Russia was not acting so imperialistically, Baltic states wouldn't have felt the need to join NATO.

  4822. As long as you have the paper ballots, they can be counted by machine, but checked if there is a question. The 2000 ballot problem was due to hanging chads. If you used a scantron method, filling circles like on the SAT, this problem does not occur. The reason that people want more ID checking is to suppress the vote of poor people, this is just evil. The best answer is to have vote-by-mail. You have paper ballots, no racist ballot official will turn away people of the 'wrong' color, there are no long lines at the polls, and people need not take time off of work to vote. It has worked very well in Oregon.

What's really sad is the US had good, electric powered mass transit, until a consortium of an oil company, tire company, and auto manufacturer bought up most of the streetcar lines, and dismantled them. Friends who lived in LA, in the 1940s, remember taking the red car line everywhere, from Pasadena to the beach, to the SF valley. In NYC, the electric street cars were replaced with smelly diesel busses. In Albuquerque and Portland, nothing replaced the streetcars for decades.

  4827. So far, this is the first big mistake. And much of it is due to the mess Trump left him. Trump was the one who made a peace deal with terrorists, while keeping the government for the negotiating table, forced the release of thousands of Taliban fighters and leaders, and withdrew most of the troops. Yes, Biden messed this up, but he was dealt a bad hand to begin with.

  4828. When I was a small child, I visited Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and was horrified at what we had done. But, an old Japanese man took me aside, and told me that those bombs, as horrific as they were actually saved lives. He told me more people were dying every day, than died in Hiroshima, and that only the horror of the atomic bombs made his people surrender. Then the Japanese people were amazed, considering how they had treated the people they conquered, that Americans came in, and rebuilt Japan to be greater than it had before. My father taught urology at Tokyo Army General, and one of his students, Dr. Ikazano, became the head urologist of that country. He told me that Japan owed the US a great debt, that no other country ever rebuilt those they defeated to be better than before. Meanwhile, I should have a large extended family in Germany. But, they were all murdered in those extermination camps.

  4832. No, the big story is not the miniscule number of people with protected status, it is all the people, in Europe, North America, and the middle east, who book flights, and get stranded due to a lack of pilots. The big story is, the airlines took in billions and billions of euros, dollars, pounds, riyals and shekels, from their respective governments, to see them over the pandemic, and they still let most of their employees go. Now that air travel has resumed, they don't have enough pilots, flight attendants, or crew on the ground, for the airlines to run efficiently. What happened to all the money, that was supposed to prevent this?

  4840. Testing is all messed up. Early in the pandemic, Dr. Michael Mina was advocating rapid strip tests, like the ones used to test urine for sugar and occult blood. They had been developed, and would cost pennies apiece to produce. Sadly, they never got FDA approval. Instead, the best rapid tests we have are lateral flow tests, like a pregnancy test, which cost a few dollars to produce, and cost the consumer about $12 apiece. They are better than the PCR tests, which have too great a turnaround time, and are overly sensitive. A PCR positive, with a CT value of over 30 is meaningless, ask any biochemist. And positive PCR tests only indicate the presence of viral RNA. They demonstrate exposure, not infection. The US needs to stop treating PCR as the gold standard, and provide everyone with less expensive tests, with immediate results. We need inexpensive strip tests.

But, we also need to punish those who hire illegal workers.

There have always been observers, from both parties, where the vote is counted. There are cameras on all drop boxes. These self appointed poll watchers are there for one reason, to intimidate voters and poll workers. They make elections less secure, and drive down voter turnout. I thought it was disgusting, when armed Black Panthers, intimidated voters at the polls. Armed drop box watchers are no different. If there are some people, who question how elections are conducted, offer them a civics class. Teach them how elections are carried out, and why they are fair and secure. Don't encourage wingnuts to intimidate voters.

Sure, if you are a working mother, it is less convenient, but both my daughter and I pumped at work. There are rare instances, where the infant doesn't latch well, so you pump, and put breast milk in a bottle. Not only does breastfeeding help the mother lose weight, but it is much better for the infant. No formula has immunoglobulins to protect the infant from disease, like breastmilk does. Why are so many using baby formula, when it is not good for the infant?

  4891. Having traveled to Canada, Europe and Israel, I've experienced VATs. They are sales taxes, and unlike tariffs, are applied to all goods, domestic and imported. If you save your sales receipts, in most countries you can get the VAT back as you leave. That doesn't occur with tariffs. Israel also puts a tariff on imported goods, you don't get that back at the border. Any economist who confuses tariffs with VATs is not credible.

  4895.  @wsoxman5375  Not correct. While the humoral immunity induced by the vaccines is only partially effective against omicron, T cell epitopes are more highly conserved, so cellular immunity, due to vaccination, is still quite effective. That is why vaccinated people, infected with Covid, has such a mild course of illness. All the variants are the same size, and are propagated in droplets, so masks are equally effective against all variants. You rail against someone giving false information, yet that is exactly what you did.

And we got rid of tracking in the 1970s, as too many bitter parents were upset their little prince wasn't in the top track. We need to return to tracking, and flunking those who don't master their grade, so good students are no longer held back by lesser ones.

  4921. That's because chickenpox isn't caused by a poxvirus, but a herpesvirus, herpes varicella zoster. Herpesvirus has an unfortunate tendency to take up residence in nerve ganglia, and reinfect when adaptive immunity drops, either because of stress or age. Hence cold sores and shingles. Shingrex does a fantastic job of increasing adaptive immunity against varicella zoster.

  4934. Court reform is needed to make Israel more democratic, not less. Nowhere in Israeli law is the court allowed to overturn laws, as Israel has no constitution by which to measure laws. But, about 30 years ago, the courts, seeing the country was moving away from its Ashkenazi controlled, soviet style government, towards a fairer, more equal society. This would not do, for the far left, self appointing courts. So, they started overturning laws, based upon their own ideas of "reasonableness", and enacting laws, without legislation. Since the chief justice gets to pick which five justices, out of eleven, that sit on any panel reviewing a law, they can opt for the justices they know will overturn it. Currently, judges and prosecutors are appointed by a panel of other judges, and members of the Israeli bar association. These are always people who side with the left, and usually are children of other judges. It is a very nepotistic system. Democratically elected officials, and the people, have no say in who is a judge or prosecutor. All the court reform, the nepo babies with connections, are fighting against would do is let democratically members of the Knesset, from both the government and opposition, choose who is on the committee choosing judges and prosecutors. Require the full panel of the high court be seated (not just a select five), to overturn a law, and give the Knesset the right to override the overturning, with a majority of the Knesset.

  4936.  @11Nosferatu11  Wow, did you not see all those huge maskless Trump rallies. I seem to remember you lot dinging Biden for campaigning in his basement. As to blocking flights from China, Trump never did that. Trump blocked Chinese nationals from entering the country. He let US citizens and residents return from China, but unlike countries with sane leaders, did require those people to quarantine. I returned from an Asian country, where Covid had not hit, on February 3, 2020, and had to wait in line for 2 1/2 hours in the border and customs line, with people returning from China. And when I began to feel ill, five days later, due to extreme test shortages, could not get a Covid test because I'd not been to China. If I'd returned to any other civilized country, I would have been tested. But, because Trump didn't want bad numbers, we didn't have enough tests.

  4940. Admittedly, your degree in microbiology might be more recent than mine, but I don't remember any classes in forensic science. Yes, I took lots of chemistry and biochemistry courses, including the biochemistry of bacterial growth, and a good number of medical classes, and countless laboratory classes. But UCLA did not require forensic science for a microbiology degree, and that is quite a different science. I too have worked in medical labs, and therefore know that they are equipped to discover what ails a person, not the manufacturing source of a toxin. Also, nobody is implying that Putin personally poisoned this couple. But to assume that he did not order it is naive. If a victim is strangled, the police don't look for a gun. If someone is poisoned by a nerve agent, developed and manufactured in Russia, it would be absurd to first suspect France. This fits a pattern of attack that Russian agents have employed in the past, so they are the prime suspect.

  4941. Israeli TV was discussing this call up of reservists. The first thing each commenter said was "It's not like here, where everyone is in milulim (the reserves) until 35, and has to train <for a month> each year." The point they made was a reservist, whose training is allowed to lapse, is almost as useless, as a raw recruit. Of course wives, mothers and sisters, are distressed. Those they love, are being sent to their certain deaths, for nothing but the ego of a cruel dictator.

  4945. It was not just Texas and Arizona, that faced problems resulting from massive illegal immigration, for years. I grew up in Southern California, and we had massive problems, from the moment Reagan stopped fining companies that hired illegal workers. My father, his mother, and her father, all came from New Mexico, and that state had a lot of problems too, dating from Reagan. But, since those states are run by Democrats. Abbott doesn't even consider the problems they face, despite being greater than Texas's. But then, Texas has been bussing their homegrown problems, like those who are homeless, due to addiction problems, to other western states for years. The Texas government doesn't give a damn about the problems of other states, even those Texas has caused.

  4953. Do you realize that a mortgage is not the only cost involved? Property taxes have shot up, in many cities. Because property values have gone up, and because cities have spent so much on useless projects, they always find a way to jack up property taxes. And, the cost of maintaining a property has also shot up. Both labor and supplies cost much more. If there is any gouging, it is by governments, who keep raising the taxes.

  4954. Didn't Trump make a mountain out of Obama playing golf during the Ebola epidemic, that only killed two Americans? Why was the US Ebola death toll so small? Because Obama nipped the problem in the bud, while it was still in Africa. Too bad Trump wasn't as proactive for this pandemic. Too bad he spent January and February downplaying its danger, rather than ramping up production of the PPE and respirators we would need, by invoking the DPA. He can do it for pork, but not needed supplies.

When I was finally able to get vaccinated, April 2021, the brain fog cleared up. But, I still have a cough left from the syncytia caused lung damage, but it's improving. I'm assuming, as a medical professional, you've been vaccinated and boosted. If not, try it. It might clear the brain fog.

This sport was developed by the English and fans getting pissed (drunk) is part of the long standing football traditions. Allowing beer to be sold, was one of the concessions Qatar had to make, to hold the games, and right before them, they ban alcohol? Of course there is anger! Infantino has no right to complain about justifiable anger. Return FIFA to British control, football is their game.

Unless the viral epitope mutates so much IgA and IgG can't bind to it, and T cells can't recognize it, it doesn't matter that the virus mutates. Due to V(D)J recombination, our adaptive immune system can recognize any epitope thrown against it, given time. Data proves that vaccinated individuals are usually protected against hospitalization, permanent damage and death, but unimmunized individuals are not.

  5018.  @claire221287  Many of the countries you cite have nationalized health insurance, not healthcare. One huge reason medicine costs so much here are malpractice suits, doctors order many unnecessary tests, sometimes delaying needed treatment, just to ward off a suit. And of course, malpractice insurance is very costly. That could be rectified with tort reform. Another huge cost is medication, which costs three to ten times as much in the US, due to deals Congress has made with big pharma. And, it is absurd that pharmaceutical companies pay more for advertising than research. The US is one of three countries that allow the advertisement of prescription drugs, and we didn't always allow it. That should end.

Or how about reparations to the Irish, for being driven off their land by the British lords, who wanted to raise sheep, not food? Or how about reparations for the Slavs? So many of them were captured and sold into bondage, mostly to Arabs by Turks, that the word 'slave' comes from Slav.

And talk is cheap.

  5040.  @generalali7609  Yes, arab citizens of Israel, have the same rights the native people do. They attend college, have whatever profession they want, vote, and are members of the Knesset. How are Jews treated in Jordan, Gaza, and the parts of Samaria and Judea, that the arabs control? They are forced from their homes, which are then taken over by arabs.

  5041.  @generalali7609  Fatach and Hamas make all the laws, in the areas which they control. You can't blame Israel, if they don't treat their fellow arabs well. And, in the parts of Israel, controlled by the Jews, arabs are full citizens, with the same rights as the native people. How many times do you need to be told the same thing?

This idea of only allowing Ukraine to defend themselves, but not strike back, is absurd. We should have learned that a limited war cannot be won, from our blunders in Korea and Vietnam. Russia will only stop their murderous attacks on Ukrainian civilians, if they fear for their own people. And also, let's shell Putin's palace on the Black Sea. Dictators tend to be less aggressive, when worried their cushy palaces might be destroyed.

Rather than contrast vaccination rates over various states, it would be wiser to contrast those rates as urban vs. rural. In my own state, in urban counties, the rate of vaccination is over 80%, in rural counties it varies from about 60% to less than 40%.

  5088. How many of those separated children were murdered? How many of their families were? Were they good US citizens? There is no comparison to people being hauled out of their homes, and sent to death camps. To even make the comparison is racist. My great grandfather was a German war hero, yet the Nazis murdered him and his family.

  5089. The right, just like the left, is a continuous spectra, not a discrete grouping. You cannot say the all Conservatives are evil or all Liberals are evil. Those on the extreme edges forget that other humans have feelings and rights. When you treat the other as inhuman, you become inhumane, and are evil. People whose ideas you regard as crazy, also think you are crazy. Many would benefit from engaging in speech and debate. When you do, you never know when you enter a contest if you'll have to be pro or con. Having to support both sides of an argument makes you realize that nothing is back and white. Even the far right people who I have listened to aren't against all immigrants, just the illegal aliens. But in your diatribe, you say they are against immigrants, that is not the same as wanting secure borders. Listen to them if you want to counter their arguments.

  5091. If Biden wants his poll numbers to rise, he should govern as a moderate, and stop trying to push an unpopular "progressive" agenda. There were two dozen "progressive" candidates, in the primary, but Biden was selected because he was a moderate. Biden won the general, because many moderates and conservatives were sick of Trump. It wasn't "progressives" voting for him, and straight Republican ticket for all other offices. He needs to stop pandering to the "progressives". If he doesn't really address inflation, and start acting like a moderate, he'll find he's dealing with both houses of Congress under Republican control, after the midterms.

Second, Ukraine, as a sovereign country, can join any alliance it wants, especially a purely defensive alliance like NATO.

It really angers me that Fetterman put his own ego, over what was good for Pennsylvania and the country. Write in Conor Lamb. And, as to the blue collar branding, it is a fraud. Fetterman was born to money, worked for his daddy's firm, in New York, until his family's money all but bought him the position of mayor. Tattoos and a hoodie don't change his privileged upbringing.

  5112. @Super Jefe First, the Pfizer vaccine was actually developed by BioNTech, using German tax marks, not US dollars. Second, all the vaccines were just piggybacked onto platforms that had already been developed for other diseases. Third, the vaccines developed by Moderna and Astrazeneca (Oxford) seem much more promising than the Pfizer vaccine, as they do not require a ultra-subzero freezer. Fourth, project warp speed was supposed to make production faster, and it doesn't seem to have. There won't be enough for everyone to get vaccinated until the middle of next year. But, the name has scared people away from taking the vaccine.

  5113. First, there is a difference between stupidity and ignorance. Second, US schools don't aim to truly educate children. Every since the 1960s, there has been this idea that schools are meant to equalize intelligence. Instead of teaching to the brightest children, and holding back those who cannot master grade level information, they cater to the stupidest children, in a class. This leaves intelligent children bored, and under taught. Also, too many US schools act like this is some giant sociology experiment, whereby they can instill their ideas and beliefs, rather than teach children what they should be learning. This is no different from the missionary schools, that forced christianity down children's throats. And, lastly, the US puts far too much emphasis on useless competitive sports. Rather than teaching skills, that can produce fit citizens, it's all about beating the other team. Status in school, is derived from athletic prowess, rather than scholastic excellence. And colleges waste class space on students, on athletic scholarships, who don't have the intellectual capacity to benefit from college. If all schools, from kindergarten to college, focused only on academic achievement, and college slots were given to the best students, with no legacy spots, racial set-asides or sports scholarships, US education would be less of a joke.

His dogmatic attitude makes me think he is another tin god in a cheap suit. Yes, some parents are truly pains. I volunteered as an art teacher, and often had just enough material for each student. One little boy never listened to instructions and his projects turned out horribly. His mother always insisted he have a "do over" and the said other teachers let him. After I twice refused, he learned to follow directions.

  5116.  @stonkr  Actually, vaccination can prevent any infection. And if an infection does occur, a vaccinated person has a much lower viral load, and is far less likely to spread the virus to others. And, vaccination does not just provide a humoral (Ab) response, but a cellular one as well. There are memory T cells, as well as memory B cells. And, killer T cells, macrophages, eosinophils, and dendritic cells are a little more effective against this virus than Ab. We usually talk about the Ab response, because it is easier to measure IgG.

  5117. Israel cannot "give back" the land stolen, and occupied by Arab invaders. Look what happened when Israel withdrew from Gaza, historically Jewish land, with a Jewish majority until the British took over. How about instead, the Arab occupiers content themselves with the 70% of Jewish land taken, and turned into the Arab state of Jordan?
    2
  5118.  @Jake-li7ih  Every four years? There are major elections every two years. And there are always the elections for local candidates, and all the propositions. Of course, if you state votes only by mail, like mine does, having to vote every other month is not onerous.

  5119.  @mathman43  The Hong Kong flu did not kill as many people as Covid has. And if the schools had not closed down, there would have been many more deaths from Covid. If you want to consider a flu epidemic that comes close to being as deadly, you have to go back to the Spanish flu, and schools did shut down then. As to attending service during the Blitz, bombs are not contagious, you point is meaningless. The real problem today is stupid people, who scoff at those better educated than they are. And you are a case in point.

  5120.  @dougthomson5544  Being asked to wait until 65, to retire with a full pension, is hardly draconian. Frankly, more are upset by loss of extensive mass transit, and banking at local post offices, due to EU regulations, than a reasonable change in the age of retirement. But, losing the French soul, to the EU hegemony, doesn't sound as civic minded, as bitching about retirement pensions. Perhaps, France needs a FREXIT, but they'd never follow the British lead.

The practice of stock buybacks was illegal until 1982, many think it should be made illegal again because they hurt the US economy.

We might have actually kept both houses, if Biden had tried to do anything to address inflation, instead of initiating a spending program, that only benefits an entitled, deadbeat few. Instead of forgiving student loans, he should have tried some form of price control on bread, eggs, milk and vegetables, where the government made up the difference, so that farmers didn't suffer. It would have cost less, and would have benefitted everyone.

Prior to 2008, no decent lawyer or justice thought the right to bear arms pertained to the individual. It is very obvious, from the wording of the amendment, that the right to be armed was only for members of a well regulated militia, protecting the security of the state, the National Guard. That is how it was interpreted in 1938. That is how it should still be interpreted.

And there is that telling bit, when the insurrectionists were storming the capitol, and his security detail tried to get him in a car, to whisk him away. He wouldn't get in the car, because he was afraid they had orders to not allow him to continue the count. It would have been so easy to just comply, but he refused. There isn't a lot I admire about Pence, but I admire that.

  5159. What geographic or demographic diversity?! All the early states are still in the eastern third of the country. Not one western state is in that group. And black people are not the only minority, in this country. What about Hispanics, Asians and Native Americans? Have the first primary in California, the state with the most voters, and most diverse range of voters. Only a third of that state is white. Too long have western states been taken for grated.

  5160.  @shanealan2168  A casino, unaffiliated with any campaign, offered gift cards to those who proved they voted, the people didn't have to be tribal members, and how people voted was immaterial. It was a publicity stunt to get people to gamble, much like free chips.

  5164. If Biden had governed as the centrist he ran as, there would be no threat coming from No Labels. It is the fact he ran as one thing, and is governing as another, that angers the majority of the party.

  5172.  @AS-vq3wt  Why would a judge in PA be afraid of the mobs in WA? Judges in very red states, judges that Trump had appointed, ruled that there was no evidence of fraud. I've never like Cheney's politics, but I admire her willingness to stand down the rabid Trump cult, and stand up for "truth, justice and the American way."

  5173. No, when the nursing home scandal arose, he bullied other lawmakers, to keep them quiet. One of those lawmakers reported the bullying, and Cuomo tried to act like that wasn't his way of doing things. So, a woman he had harassed and bullied came forward. Cuomo tried to act like it was just a joke, and more women came forward, to tell of his harassment of them. If he hadn't tried to cover up the nursing home deaths, we'd probably never heard about the sexual harassment.

  5174. Yes, every candidate should lay out their policy proposals, what the problems facing the country are, and how they would deal with them. They need to build their case, for why they should be president the next four years, plank by plank.

  5175. If I remember correctly, Bragg didn't run on "targeting Trump", but on not suppressing cases against the rich and powerful. The people of NYC were tired of seeing those with wealth and connections, like Trump skate, and voted for him. Whining about moving back towards impartial justice, is a bit rich.
    2
  5176. So, it's Democrats' fault for not allowing the Republicans to adjourn. I'd think it is the fault of Republicans, especially McCarthy, for not ensuring there were enough votes, to put him over the top, before calling for the vote. If McCarthy can't whip his party well enough, that he can become Speaker, what makes him think he could caucus them into passing laws?

  5179. Hillary was investigated for over 2 years, and nothing was found, because nothing criminal was done, by her or her staff. There have already been indictments for the crimes of Trump's staff, in less than half the time. After the midterms, if an honest Congress is sitting, impeachment for Trump's crimes can begin.
    2
  5180.  @jackderipper2233  I hope you include Mitt Romney, who always found Trump to be a nasty, undemocratic aberration. He is the only Republican to twice vote for removal, after impeachment. Cheney strongly supported Trump, in the first impeachment. She is to be commended for changing sides, to the patriotic one, after the failed insurrection. But, Romney was always a patriot.

  5206. Clinton's dalliance was tacky, but not illegal. Trump paying off his sexual partners, in the way he did it, was a violation of campaign finance laws, and he knew it. Starr had no right to question Clinton about a legal affair. He was impeached for nothing. Besides the campaign finance infractions, Trump as openly asked for illegal help from Russia and constantly tries to impede the investigations into his crimes. Starr's judgement is of no import because he would never impeach a Republican, even if they commit a crime on national TV.

  5207.  Hate Speech  You live in an alternate universe. In the past hundred years, the economy usually thrives under Democrats, and tanks under Republicans. The only exception to this was Nixon, but then he was a Republican who tried to give us a guaranteed annual income and began the socialization of medicine (dialysis).
    2
  5208. That is an absolute lie. This happened because Israel unwisely gave up the Jewish land of Gaza, to the Arab invaders, hoping for peace. But Arab occupiers want to completely annihilate the native people, and have continued their reign of terror, with attacks almost every day. The Falestinians are brutal occupiers and terrorists, and have no right to live on stolen land.

  5212. melodk is correct. Technological answers are much better, and cheaper, than a wall. The stupid wall is unpopular with those who live along the border, because of the disruption it causes in their lives without actually stopping the problem. We have examples in the portions of wall Obama built. Additionally, half of the people here illegally, just came legally, but overstayed their visa. A wall won't stop them. People come here illegally to work. Prevent them from working, they won't come. Enact laws that severely fine any employer who hires an undocumented worker, be it cleaner, nanny, gardener, meat processing plant worker, sweat shop worker, or construction worker. Provide every citizen with a SS photo id, just like a green card. Not only will that make it easier for employers to vet employees, but this will stop the constant suppression of minority voters.

  5215. Whether a system is communist or socialist has nothing to do with arms. Socialism makes sure the worst off are cared for, it provides education, health care and pensions for all its citizens with tax money. Communism is the idea that each contributes according to their ability, and each takes according to their needs. If you want to see how communism works without coercion, look to the old kibbutzim of Israel. If you want to see socialism at work, look to western Europe. I would hazard to guess, most Americans would rather see their tax money go to education, health care, and elder care, than the military, which now consumes over half of our discretionary spending.

  5216. Slavery in the US was a horrible thing, but it was legal prior to the 13th amendment. Rape is not legal, nor was it when Cosby was doing it. Sure, in some Arab countries slavery is still legally practiced, but what should the US do about it? We do not rule the world.

  5219. For the same reason Manchin and Sinema remain Democrats, despite uncalled for harassment from their party, and censure by unelected idiots. They believe in what their party has traditionally stood for, and hold its core values in their hearts. Cheney and Kinzinger are true Republicans. They are social conservatives, who believe in the Constitution, national security, fiscal responsibility and small government. While they no longer fit in Trump's populist, demagogic party, which puts that vile man ahead of the Constitution, they would find the Democratic party an even worse fit.

But, Trump tried to hold up that aid, unless they did him a political favor. That is why he was impeached the first time. Or don't you remember?

  5230. Since their stories all had a very obvious bias, and they often threw in completely bogus 'facts', yes they were nothing but raw propaganda. It's not that I can't handle a different point of view, but I really hate being lied to. And they lied consistently.

  5231. And when were they asked, before or after Russia invaded, drove out the native Ukrainians, and replaced them with Russians?

  5232. If you condemn Israel for things you don't condemn other countries for, you are antisemitic. It would be fine to criticize the corrupt, self-appointing judiciary, that acts like a dictator. But, to condemn the government trying to restore democracy would be to support tyranny. And to condemn Israeli Jews, for living in their own homeland is racist, as it denies indigenous rights.

  5236. I would say that the Pentagon Papers had a lot more to do with the lose of trust in government than Watergate. People found out LBJ and the Pentagon knew we couldn't win Vietnam, yet we didn't change our tactics or stop spending the treasure of our young men's lives. College students were saying "Don't trust anyone over 30 before Nixon was elected. (This confused me because I was a small child, and thought a 21 year old was old ).

  5242.  @ComradeOgilvy1984  Gerrymandering has increased the problem of safe seats. Politicians chose their voters, not the other way around. Politicians fear being primaried, more than losing a general election, so move more and more to the extremes. Computer programs exist that can draw district lines fairly, without political bias. Many of our problems could be remedied by using only unbiased AI to draw district boundaries.

  5254.  @flipnotrab  Come visit my city of Portland. As a response to complaints about police harassing 'protesters' as they burned down parts of the city, including a synagogue, the mayor told them to have a hands-off attitude towards crime, including homeless encampments on city streets and people's backyards. All the shop windows downtown are still boarded up, most businesses have folded, because who will shop in a war zone? Even the food truck owners have given up, because each day, when they try to open up, they find much of their equipment was stolen.

  5261.  @danieldougan269  Why should teachers be allowed to decide what is true for other people's children. I remember parent-teacher meetings, and what impressed me was how ignorant and stupid most teachers are. I had to teach my daughters stoichiometry, because their chemistry teacher was an idiot. I taught my children how to read before they went to school. And I had to teach them math, because the moronic way the school went about it, just confused them. Mathematics is a language unto itself, but the idiot teachers made my kids write out an explanation, in English, in each step. That is backwards, an elegant proof needs no explanation. We taught our children how to use, and program, computers, because the teachers had no clue. My husband taught them math theory, a subject most teachers can't comprehend. We gave them Barbara Tuchman books to read, because the history they learned in school was simple minded and inadequate. Why should such stupid, ignorant people, as most teachers are, get to make any decisions regarding curriculum? Remember, their salary is paid by taxpayers.

  5262.  @davidguelette7036  Well said. Both parties have moved towards the extremes, although at least far-left Democrats aren't fixated on undoing our tradition of a peaceful transfer of power. It is time there was a moderate third party, the represents the political leanings of the majority of voters.

  5263. And like so many comments that start with, "meaning no disrespect" are always disrespectful, she did infer he was a racist. Also the California bussing programs she like so much ruined the public schools there, and was ended in five years. Nobody liked it. Not the parents, and not the kids that were bussed. She's such a BS artist, and there were several women, who would have been much better VPs, Klobuchar for example.

  5264. So you claim that anyone who isn't a traitor to their country can't be a Republican? You are as insane as the fools who call good moderate Democrats GOP-lite. There was a Republican Party before Trump, and men like McCain were the best of it. Hopefully, after Trump it can purge itself of the lunatics who have infiltrated. Trumpists are not true Republicans, SE Cupp, Max Boot, Steve Schmitt and George Conway are..

If there is no centrist candidate running (and although Biden ran as a centrist, he isn't governing like one) I'll write one in. I cannot vote for either Biden or Trump.

Qatar invited the world, and promised to abide by certain rules, like allowing alcohol at the games, and respecting women's rights and gay people. Instead, they continued in their medieval mindset, and harassed people. If this journalist had been having sex, with another guy, in the street, that would have been disrespectful, and merit detention. But, merely wearing a rainbow shirt is not. Qatar has shown no respect to those they invited. Such an inhospitable host deserves no respect in return.

  5279.  @martincopeland8153  The fact you refer to the electorate choosing judges, in a democratic fashion, as a "popularity contest" is disturbing. Are you one of those privileged elitists, who think democracy is wrong? Also, federal judges are appointed and approved, by those the people elect to office, which is far more democratic, than having some committee of elitists making the appointments, and therefore, better.
    2
  5280.  @AkPacerPilot  I agree on the first sentence, and disagree with the rest. The difference between a lifetime appointment, and being in an elected position for a long time is, the elected official must be reelected, ie. get the people's approval. Expertise is important. It takes time to learn the ropes, of government. Why keep tossing people out, just when they get good at the job.

Or, if they were still a little drunk or drugged, and out of it, and couldn't think straight. I can imagine several scenarios, where the police would not be the first call.

  5293. There won't be a coalition wall because the Republican ranchers of southern Texas don't want a wall. Obama built some segments of bollard fencing, and it shows the problems of building a wall. Much of the border is a river. You can't build wall in a river, so the wall has be built on private lane. Due to geography, the wall had to bisect that private land. So ranchers have to drive to a crossing to get from one side of their land to the other. In those areas with a physical border, smugglers just tunnel under it. Illegals are smuggled in in secret compartments of vehicles. A wall doesn't stop them. Additionally, half of the people here illegally, just came legally, but overstayed their visa. A wall won't stop them either. People come here illegally to work. Prevent them from working, they won't come. Enact laws that severely fine any employer who hires an undocumented worker, be it cleaner, nanny, gardener, meat processing plant worker, sweat shop worker, or construction worker. Provide every citizen with a SS photo id, just like a green card. Not only will that make it easier for employers to vet employees, but this will stop the constant suppression of minority voters.

  5295. Hearst had an additional reason to want hemp outlawed. He had purchased a huge amount of pulp timber lands. Hemp makes a superior paper to wood pulp (less acidic, better lasting). The existence of hemp fiber made his timber lands less valuable. So he had an economic interest is outlawing hemp growth unrelated to its use a a drug. Also, NIxon started the war on drugs, but it was Carter who began dropping paraquat on Mexican hemp fields, forcing Americans to grow their own.

I'd like to see these positive lecanemab results be duplicated, since previous studies, on the same MAb showed it next to useless. Although the original treatment cost, of $56K/year, is now halved, because of recent legislation, that's still a lot of money.

A person with such terrible judgement, should not have been put on the highest court in the land.

Listening to the Judiciary Committee impeachment hearing was like getting a really good lecture on why our founding fathers wrote the Constitution the way they did.

I don't know about where you are, but in Portland, the army is funning the show, and it's fairly efficient. The only real inefficiency is, they have you do a pre-appointment check-in, where you give all your pertinent data, then make you fill out a form with the same data, even though the people checking you in have scanners, and most of us printed out the QR code.

Was Trey Goudy impartial? Was Ken Starr? They were both out to get them in a very political fashion. In fact when Ken Starr couldn't find anything on White Water, he got impeached by asking Bill Clinton about a tacky, but legal affair.

  5364. Other countries with a House of Lords, or a Senate modeled upon that undemocratic body, have taken all power from it. eg. UK Lords and Canadian Senate only let their nondemocratic body advise and suggest. It's long past time the Senates power was decreased in the same way, and confirmation of presidential appointments either moved to the House, or given to a House judicial committee, or even better given to the people. This country needs a national initiative process, where the people, not elected representatives, make some of the decision. If the right to abortion were decided by a national initiative, such a heinous abrogation of human rights would never happen.

Tuesday's elections should have been a wakeup call, that the people are sick of "progressive" ideas and inflation. But, the people who gave us this nonsense think it means we want more. It's long past time to pass the genuine infrastructure bill, that already passed in the Senate, in the House, pare the reconciliation bill down to undoing Trump's tax cuts and restoring SALT deductions, and moving on to things that would help the American people. How about reforming the Electoral Count Act, so their is no chance the people's voice is replaced by state legislatures? How about addressing this rampant inflation, not introducing bills that will make it worse? You want the minimum wage raised, raise it to $12/hour, with an incremental raise to match inflation each year, in a standalone bill. Then, if Republicans shoot it down, it can be an issue to campaign on.

You gave desultory coverage of the millions forced to flee their homes, but nothing about the tens of millions, who dared not go outside for weeks, due to the smoke filled air. But, a hurricane happens, and that's it, no news, just weather. You ignore important international news. What about the Ukraine war, and the Russians fleeing conscription? What about the fact the Russians put another hole in a pipeline? How about the hijab protests in Iran, and 76 protesters murdered over them? How about how the CIA failed to protect its Iranian informants? Report on the military junta in Myanmar sending Suu Kyi to jail again, and the numerous civilians they've killed. Report on the plummeting pound, due to Truss's tax cuts. Report on the state of the Brazilian presidential elections, where Lulu is taking the lead, and Bolsanaro is acting as if he'll follow Trump's insurrectionist playbook. Or report on the six red states, suing the Biden administration over his student loan forgiveness. Report on Ginni Thomas meeting with the January 6 committee today. How about Trump's pushing back against the special master he wanted appointed? Enough with the east coast weather report!

But, the USSR not only collectivized Ukrainian farms, but sent soldiers to take any food, Ukrainian families might have stored for the winter. Because all their food was stolen from them, Ukrainians did die in the millions. And then, Russia sent Russians, to occupy Ukrainian homes left empty by that genocide.

It was a potato blight, not human action, that caused the Irish Famine.

I lived in LA at the time, and it was astounding how many people suddenly appeared, who could not speak English. Another stupid thing, the US did, that has led to this crisis, was the Mexico City convention, that does not allow US tax dollars to go to help fund family planning in Latin America. When a region has more people than it can support, what will those people do? Move somewhere where the population pressure is not as great. We could end this border crisis if we just undid the Mexico City convention, resumed punishing fine on the scofflaw employers who hire illegal workers, and realized that prohibition does not work, and ended the "War on Drugs".

Many more people are murdered because of domestic violence, in a year, than the police have ever killed, but that's no big deal. Is it because the victims are usually women? Or is it because the killer and the victims were Hispanic? A lot of people have misplaced priorities.

The hole in the ozone layer was real, but getting rid of fluorocarbons allowed the hole to close. Acid rain was also a real thing, but requiring sulfur scrubbing fixed the problem. And global cooling in the 70s. That was when I was a science student at UCLA, nobody there was worried about global cooling, just warming. There was one man who feared all the carbon we were pumping into the atmosphere would block out the sun. The rest of climate scientists were sure that global warming was the problem, and they were right. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XB3S0fnOr0M&feature=BFa&list=PL029130BFDC78FA33&index=37

  5475. Historically, Virginia has elected a governor from a different party of the president. The only time recently, that has not held was when McAuliffe was elected last time. His Republican opponent was Ken Cuccinelli, who was virulently homophobic. Then McAuliffe might have only won because Cuccinelli was so vile, as the difference in votes was much less than the number of votes that went to the Libertarian, Sarvis. Several pundits have stated that Sarvis got the votes of those who would have voted Republican, but could not pull the lever for Cuccinelli. I'm not certain that conservatives and moderates, disgusted by Youngkin would vote for Princess Blanding, as she is more a police reform candidate, and not your typical Libertarian candidate, but more left than McAuliffe. So, McAuliffe will have a difficult time winning, and that was only made harder when he stated that parents shouldn't interfere with what their children are taught in school. Maybe, considering Biden's tanking poll numbers, McAuliffe would be better served distancing himself.

But, most of all, we need to address the human overpopulation problem. Even if we did not change our energy sources, climate change would not be dramatic, if the number of humans, on this planet, had not more than doubled in the last fifty years.

  5495. Other Muslim nations allow music, even the source of Islam, Saudi Arabia. However, according to Wikipedia, "Music is considered "sinful" or "haram" by Wahhabi Muslims, including Salah Al Budair who is the Imam of the Grand mosque in Medina. This is based in part on certain Ahadith which speak negatively of non-percussion musical instruments and the idea that music and art are distractions from God. Some Muslims also believe it is sinful for songs to make any mention of women and for women to be involved in the composition of music. Particularly in the early days of the current Saudi state, religious authorities were quick to repress music other than the rhythmic percussion that still dominates contemporary Saudi music." Has the Taliban also been destroying drums?

We're both liberals, from minority groups, and would like better government for our taxes. She's another vote for Johnson. Of five neighbors, that I've talked to, four are voting for Johnson.

  5529. Right wing news is so stupid. The epidemic wasn't started by eating a bat, but a pangolin. They are an endangered species, and so expensive that eating them is a form of conspicuous consumption. Was it horrible that Chinese people were willing to traffic these animals to extinction? Yes, but it wasn't out of a lack of food. Pangolin have been hunted in Asia, so that very few are left. Now, African pangolin are being trafficked, and 78% of them are gone. The Chinese government has now banned the sale of wild meat. Yet, they still allow the trade in pangolin scales for traditional medicine, as does Viet Nam. They are still putting the existence of nature's gardener at risk.

Therefore, your calling liberals 'groomers' is deflection from your party member's activities. Can you name the Democratic president, who told a pre-pubescent girl he'd be dating her soon, or walked into a teen dressing room, to ogle the young girls, like Trump did? (Bill Clinton was gross, but at least his dating pool was over 21.) Which Democratic Representative is being investigated, for transporting a minor over state lines, for the purpose of sex, as Matt Gaetz is? Which Democratic Senatorial candidate married a girl so young, her parents had to give permission, like Roy Moore did?

  5539.  steve119md  For the nth time, Trump did not close travel to or from China. He stopped Chinese nationals from coming into the country, but allowed US citizens and residents to enter without requiring any quarantine, as the 39 countries that truly closed travel before us did. With the virus already in the US, by the time Trump acted, it was too late. The virus was already in Europe, so it was incomplete. And since no two week quarantine was required, it was useless.

There was no talk of building an expensive, useless wall because there was not a problem. Reagan wanted businesses to have cheap labor, so quit punishing those scofflaw employers. Despite his political start as head of SAG, he was a union buster. A lot of the disparity of wealth, in this country, is his fault. He is really not the right person to glorify.

Erdogan wants to rebuild the Ottoman Empire, and the existence of Kurds, and the possible formation of a free Kurdistan, stands in his way. Russia has aligned with Syria, in their genocide against Kurds and Sunni Muslims, and controls Syrian airspace. Iran is backing the Shiite terrorist militias, they have stationed in Syria, that aid in killing Kurds and Sunnis. Meanwhile, Turkey has given asylum to many of the Sunni Muslims fleeing genocide. By forming an alliance with Russia and Iran, Erdogan is hoping to kill remaining Kurds, and return Sunni Syrians to Syria.

In other words, saying this woman's actions were bad because of how it affected the country is different than calling her an ape.

Second, not collecting all that revenue was bad, and congress should reverse many of the tax cuts for corporations, but that doesn't mean they should enact limitless spending bills. Let them first, change the tax code, so there are lot less loopholes, for corporations and the very rich, better fund the IRS, so all revenue owed is collected, pass the much needed bipartisan infrastructure bill, and spend the money already allocated. Then, when revenues start to increase, they can take a look at what social spending we can actually afford.

The Democratic party avoided being hijacked by another populist demagogue, Sanders, but the worst populist elements, the "progressives", are still trying to take it over. Biden was elected because he purported to be a moderate, who could calm everyone down, and return consensus, but is allowing himself to be ruled by the populists. Most voters do not like the agenda being pushed on them, and will react by voting for the other side. The only reason Trump could be reelected would be, if Biden continues to be a "progressive" puppet. If he stands firm against their agenda, and governs as he promised, as a sane moderate, Trump doesn't stand a chance.

  5618. A lot of the chalutzim, from Europe, had socialist or communists beliefs. In fact, the kibbutz system, agricultural communes, were the only time communism has succeeded, without coercion. Many of the banks originated as workers' collectives, that's why they have names like Hapoelim (the workers). Sports teams have the name hapoelim, as well. The main workers' collective, hahistradrut, was the framework of all social services. In the contest between middle-eastern Jews, Mitzrachim, of the Etzel and the Haganah of European Ashkenazim, Haganah won. It was the communist Ashkenazim, who formed the original government. Why wouldn't an essentially communist Israel have a close tie with the USSR? Of course, Israel got tired of the over 300% inflation they suffered, because of the strong power of the histradrut, and Mitzrachi and Sephardi Jews got tired of the discrimination they faced. That is when the Likud party came to power, and thanks to the economic principles of Nissim Baruch (z"l), managed to bring inflation down to reasonable levels, and make the country the powerhouse it is today.

Unfortunately, this cellular immunity is often over stimulated, and the resulting cytokine storm causes much of the damage Covid-19 patients experience.

  5658. Have they done a study about children who are now facing less stress, because they aren't being bullied at school? I have a couple of friends, with school age children, who are thriving learning away from school. Not only are they no longer held back, by the dummies in their class, but they don't have to worry about being beaten up by school thugs. I've noticed that sociological studies always find what they were meant to find. And, I bet, if a study was done, looking for children who are less stressed out, staying away from school, they'd find as many as those who are doing poorly. Maybe the bullies are suffering, because they can't pass their unhappiness onto their victims. This study was probably done for the benefit of employers, whose low paid female workers are at home, caring for children.

This is an imposition of Catholic dogma, on every woman in the country, regardless of her religion, which is supposed to be prevented by the First Amendment. Since parents can evade vaccination requirements, by citing religious objection, women should be able to have a religious objection against any restriction on abortion.

It is easier for Fox because rather than report the news, all they do is try to confuse their (easily confused) audience with bogus conspiracy theories about the past president and the woman the majority of Americans wanted for president. Which one of Trump's many lies and misdeeds should CNN focus on? Conspiring with the Russians, breaking campaign finance laws, appointing inept and/or corrupt people, constantly lying to the public, money laundering for mobsters both American and Russian, cheating most of the people he has done business with are a few of the illegal acts evidence suggest he has done.. The proposition that Trump took the presidency just so he couldn't be charged has merit.

The problem is, most teachers are too stupid to understand math, so they try to turn a proof into an essay. I do remember becoming so exasperated I said "If she always gets the right answer, she clearly understands it. Math is a language, you shouldn't need to explain it in English."

Since police had responded to domestic violence calls in the past, he knew they would come, if a false call were made.

  5894. The US need not reinvent the wheel, to lessen gun deaths, but look to the sensible laws of our neighbor to the north. Canada has 0.5 gun deaths per 100,000 residents, while the US has 4.12, so Canada is obviously handling the situation better, with their sane federal laws. In order to purchase a gun, in Canada, you need a PAL (possession and acquisition license), which is a photo ID like a driver's license. In order to get this license, you need to pass a CFSC (Canadian Firearms Safety Course). One if fifteen Canadians have a PAL. If you intend to own a handgun or semi-automatic rifle, you need to pass the CRFSC (Canadian Restricted Firearm Safety Course) and prove that you have adequate storage. You cannot conceal carry without am ATC (authorization to carry) issued by a CFO (chief firearms officer). And, there are red flag laws, so if you are deemed a danger to yourself, or others, your PAL is revoked, just like someone with too many DUIs lose their driver's license.

  5920.  @robertjohnson1681  They do push for that, and in some states they succeeded. In others, Republicans have too much control. Since IDs are issued by states, not the federal government, Democrats can't do anything in deep red states. In the 1970s and 1980s, many people were pushing for a free federal ID, they wanted to make social security a picture ID. But, there were people worried they could not longer 'live off the grid' if there was a national photo ID. And even more, with money, afraid if proof of identity were universal, they could not longer hire cheap, illegal labor (ie. illegal aliens). So we never got our national ID.

That is why Jews were so active in the civil rights movement. That is why we try to help refugees. Since liberal beliefs are much more in tune with Jewish beliefs, most Jews are liberal. The few who stray to the conservative side do so because they have better foreign policy, and aren't as hateful to Israel as liberals tend to be. I find it ironic that someone, who knows so little of us, is telling a Jew how we are.

  6049. The reason that abortion was made illegal, in the first place, was to put midwives out of business. As the outcome of having a baby delivered by midwife was usually better than being delivered by a doctor, in the days before germ theory and antiseptics, most women used midwives. But, more than half of a midwife's business was not delivering, but terminating a pregnancy. So doctors (male) decided to cut the midwives (women) out of their business, and lobbied law makers to make abortion illegal. One of my great grandmothers was a midwife from East Prussia. She continued her practice after emigrating to the US, and even after abortion was made illegal. I'm proud to come from a long line of abortionists.

  6053.  @City_Pige0n  Was the "president" of Syria elected, by the people? Is it apt to call a hereditary dictator a president? What about the Sunni majority and the Kurds, that al Assad has been killing? Why are there so many Syrians fleeing the country? They aren't running from US troops, but from genocidal Alawites, Russians and Iranian proxies.

  6056. There are far better Congresspeople, ones who have law degrees and some intellectual prowess. The problem is not who asks the questions, but the 5 minute back and forth prevents a fruitful line of questioning. The whole idea of having staff ask the questions is to prevent grandstanding. AOC can do nothing but grandstand, she would be a terrible choice to ask questions.

  6057. In my city, Portland, it is so bad, most downtown businesses have gone bust. The city tried to house the homeless (after jacking up property taxes to pay for shelters), but most don't want to have to quit using drugs, as the shelters require. Some of the homeless are just people who've fallen on hard times, but most, like the woman who got the unwanted shower, belong in a mental institution or substance abuse clinic. I don't feel sorry for her, she had been harassing people, and should have been arrested for that. I do feel sorry for this art dealer, who might soon lose his business because of people's overreaction to his justifiable response to an impossible problem.

When everyone was saying Muller would be done in 2017, I knew he would wait until the House was firmly in Democratic control so that investigations could continue. and he did. Nadler is ready and waiting to take the baton from Mueller. And he now has the power.

  6060.  @pdoylemi  So, you're saying they should stay because they'd lose their case in immigration court? That means they aren't qualified to be immigrants to this country. They aren't fleeing genocide, like my family members, who were not allowed to enter this country, and were murdered in Nazi death camps. If my family, all well educated, and an asset to any country, were not allowed in, why should these people, who don't really need asylum and have nothing to offer, be allowed to steal in?

  6062. The anchor says Trump supported Moore "until the bitter end". But Trump supported (weakly) Moore's opponent in the primaries, and only switched to Moore after he won those. This is a problem we often see in the US, the more extreme candidate wins the primaries, but cannot win in the general elections. Even Trump can see that Blankenship will have a hard time against Manchin.

While I applaud his philanthropy, I am disgusted he puts himself out as an expert, when he is not.

When compared to the average US citizen, who uses 909 kWh a month, you can see how energy costly Bitcoin is. There are cryptocurrencies that waste less. A hundred million Nano transactions use the same energy as one Bitcoin transaction. If we were to ban all the energy wasteful cryptocurrencies, the world would use a lot less energy.

  6076.  @Dean4511  Intelligent people can hold two thoughts, in their minds, simultaneously. One can agree that cancel culture is pathetic, if one has good ideas, they should be able to defend them, not demand a safe space free of opposition; yet also realize that Trump was trying to subvert democracy, and expunge the votes of numerous citizens. But, it is rich to hear conservatives, who always espouse the rights of corporations, complaining that social media companies have banned lies which lead to violence. And reading you call, those who disagree with you 'sheeple', as you parrot the lies you've been fed, is quite hysterical. You don't seem to be an independent thinker at all, but another member of a demagogic cult. You want a true independent thinker, listen to Sam Harris. He pisses off both the left and right.

And rather than work for the good of the middle class, both parties just try to generate hatred against the other, and serve the will of special interest groups. But really, do you think the current coalition, in the Knesset, is any better? How are they working for the people, when all their effort is spent appeasing Ra'am? When government does not work to benefit the populace, and the high court goes against the wishes of the majority, unrest follows.

  6084. Good. Even back in the 1980s, working as programmers, my husband and I felt we needed to unionize. Programmers are paid better now, but sometimes a high salary makes one more vulnerable. Companies are always worried about the next quarter, and will move all the highest paid programmers to one division, then axe that division. It screws up product development, two years down the line, but US companies are very short sighted.

  6095. It was a different time. Obama was very weak, when it came to international affairs, and the US was still bogged down in Afghanistan. Other NATO nations saw no reason to expend money on defense. And Russia had not truly begun to mess with other countries' elections. Now, the US is out of Afghanistan, with egg on our face. And, we suffered four years under rule of an incompetent, corrupt, authoritarian nincompoop, that Putin had gotten into office. Britain is suffering from the effects of Brexit, another Russian disinformation campaign win. We see authoritarian jerks, who also cozy up to Putin, running Turkey, Hungary and Brazil. Putin has fowled everyone's nest, so the free world is angry. We're constantly warned, 'Don't poke the bear'. Well, the bear has poked a sleeping giant, complacent and rich democracies, and it has risen. The bear is no match to what it has awoken.

  6096. 31 % of registered voters are Democrat, while only only 24% are Republican, thus more of the people are Democrats.

And as to not staying on 911, why would he, after he knew police were on their way? It accomplishes nothing.

WWII helped pull the US out of the Great Depression, but Vietnam sent us into a recession, at the same time it caused inflation. That 'stagflation' lasted more than a decade. The main reason Israel is one of the most expensive places to live in the world, is the high taxes required to defend the country. War is expensive. But, better now than later, when the price will be higher.

If the legislature would do its job, and pass meaningful reform, that allows border agents to instantly deport any not coming directly (without passing through another safe country) from a place they are experiencing genocide, Biden wouldn't need to act.

All enterprise is controlled by the state, which does not happen in capitalist countries. In a truly capitalist country, enterprise controls the state, not the other way around. Mainland China has a communist government, one party that controls everything. They have experimented with limited capitalism, with strict governmental overview, to bring in money, but remain a totalitarian communist country, governed by the communist party, where there is no freedom. They are, and without revolution will remain, a communist country.

They could not escape, because they were physically locked into their apartment, and the fire department could not reach them, because of Covid road blocks. Chinese students, have studied in the US for at least 60 years, but that hasn't led to a demand for freedom before. Chinese complained about the draconian measures, taken to fight Covid-19, before, but always backed down because they went meant to save lives. But, now they have cost lives, they will no longer be silent. A dam has broken, and all the pent up rage, resulting from no personal freedom, has burst loose.

But he also claims he read the Mueller Report, and it contained no crimes.

  6180. Previous judgements, by higher courts, have found none of Trump's goons have executive privilege, and that was while he was still president. Later rulings, after Biden was president, have found only Biden, and his administration, now have executive privilege. Could that be the reason the judge did not allow Bannon, to make the bogus claim, that he was protected by executive privilege?

The total of recovered patients and deaths (ie. resolved cases) is 1,187,295. So the percentage of deaths (mortality rate) is a little over 10%. (127,343 / 1,187,295 *100) You need to learn math.

  6188. At least we are being honest about our deaths. We aren't digging mass graves so huge that they can be seen from space, then claiming few have died, like in Iran. Doctors here, who warn the public about the rise in infections, aren't being punished, like in Russia. And no church is continuing to give the sacrament with a communal spoon, like in Belarus. With the way the stats are climbing in Brazil, they may soon surpass us. Ghana has stopped all reporting, even though many are dying from Covid. We aren't doing well, and we should have done better, but we are not the ONLY country that has botched their response.

  6190.  @jgroovy1973  Close. But when a virus is not hijacking a host cell (and that cell can be in an animal, plant, fungus or bacteria) it is called a virion. A virion is not alive, it cannot do the things something must to be considered alive, like reproduce. So, it is not that a virion "can't live long without people", they are not alive at all without a host.

  6201. It's nice to know both sides lie, to increase their power. So, Republicans lie about the results of extremely secure elections, and blame Biden for global inflation, because their orange god lost. And Sanders (who has always lied about economic matters), and his cult, lie about the causes of inflation. Inflation was caused by an overcorrection during the pandemic. Too much money was just created, and given out, and people started spending. There was good reason for governments to make all these payments, to allow people and companies to survive what would have been a serious economic downturn, that could have been like the Great Depression. But, now all that money has overheated the economic system, and we have bad inflation. Those who don't want to admit the real cause of inflation create a convenient villain, corporations. They forget that the reason companies raise prices is, their own costs have skyrocketed. Fools and liars, on the left blame price gouging, and on the left blame the president. Now that the Fed has acted to the result of this overcorrection, and raised the prime rate, spending is down, as intended. Most corporations are posting record quarterly losses, and the stock market has crashed, due to that. To act as the Marxist fraud wants, would only make the situation worse. He wants to damage corporations, because he wants them to fail. He has always advocated a Soviet system, where the state controls all production and banks, and by causing another Great Depression, he hopes to achieve his lifelong goal.

The way to do that is to get the Arabian peninsula on our side, by ending Iran's support for the Houthi terrorists lobbing missiles on their oil refineries and civilians. We need to put the Houthis back on our terror watch list, and stop negotiating with Iran, until they've stopped funding, training and arming terrorist militias. That would not only get us more short term oil, but would help with world peace.

Turkey (which is half in Europe) sells drones to both sides of this war. Syria and Iran actively support Russia's invasion. Israel has taken in more Ukrainian refugees, in proportion to their population, than any other country, even Poland. Russia has warned Israel they will let Iranian proxies, in Syria, attack Israeli civilians, if Israel support Ukraine. So why is Israel's former PM, who wasn't even the head of the country during this current invasion, the one facing questions about Ukrainian aid?

This is just the minority, imposing their beliefs and agenda, on the majority. Thank goodness, for people like Manchin and Sinema, who are standing up for what the voters really want. If the "progressives" get their way, the Democratic party will be severely punished in the midterms, and Congress will, again, be in Republican hands.

  6229.  Josh Edmonds  Wow, so many lies. First, the virion doesn't have a receptor, but it does latch onto the ACE-2 receptor. That is how it enters a host cell. Second, for those with a weak immune response, it overwhelms the host and kills them. It enters the host cell, takes it over and kills it. If too many cells in the lungs are killed, you can't get enough oxygen and die. So it is not just the cellular immune response setting off a cytokine storm. Yes, that happens, but even without it, this virus can kill. And if you have excess adipose tissue, the inflammation is even worse, which is why it kills the obese more than the thin. And people who take ACE-2 inhibitors, for many heart conditions, develop more ACE-2 receptors on their cells. So, the virus has more routes to enter host cells. That is why those with heart conditions get sicker.

The beauty of this new oral medication, is it can be given to those infected with Covid, as soon as they test positive, outside of a hospital setting. All the monoclonal antibodies must be given IV, so can't be administered at home. Of course, with any antiviral, resistance will soon develop, which is why it might be wise to wait for the other oral antivirals in development, so they can be given in conjunction, like the AIDS cocktail.

When there was a famine, due to drought in the US, Russia and middle east, he could have fed his people. He didn't, and as they starved, they protested.

Anyone, with even a HS education, understands the difference between an authoritarian country invading and occupying a democratic country, and economic migrants illegally crossing into a prosperous country. By equating the two, MTG is spreading Russian disinformation. So, how much are they paying her, or is she just a moronic dupe?

  6310. While I agree with your definition of socialism, the Democratic party has never espoused that doctrine. Sure, Sanders, who tried to hijack the Democratic party, the same way Trump succeeded in perverting the Republican party, is an avowed Marxist. But, Democratic voters rejected that old fraud twice . 89% of the party is comprised of sane moderates, only 11% is 'progressive'. You don't want the Republican party defined by the few fascists, who are members, don't define the Democratic party by its tiny number of nutcase socialists.

  6314. Most of us are descended from immigrants, but for the most part, those were legal immigrants. If we Democrats don't want to lose seats in Congress, we have to stop conflating illegal aliens with immigrants, and economic migrants with genuine asylum seekers. When my grandfather tried to save members of his family, from the Nazi's genocide, he ran into a hard quota on Jews. No amount of bond, or promise of employment, or education of the person he wished to save, could shift it, and they all died, murdered by the Nazis. The US felt shame about its complicity in this genocide, and decided to take in those fleeing genocide in future. But, none of the people coming to our southern border are facing genocide. A violent spouse, or gang violence, is not a legitimate reason to be granted asylum. (We have those problems here.) Even a war, unless you are a member of a persecuted minority, is not a just reason to be granted asylum. Every since Reagan decided to stop fining employers of illegal workers, because his rich friends and donors preferred workers who dared not complain, the illegal immigration issue has gotten worse and worse. (I don't blame illegals, they are only looking for a better life, even if the make the lives of workers here much worse. I blame those who hire them. ) When Democrats pretend the illegal alien problem is not a thing, or make asinine statements like 'no human is illegal', we just prove how clueless and callous we are. If we want to win, in border states especially, we have to avow to do something about this real problem. We need to show some empathy for American workers and taxpayers, not those who illegally enter our country. Everyone lauds Canada, for how liberal they are, yet if we were as strict about illegal aliens, as they are, we'd not have a problem. We are the only country that grants citizenship to anyone born here, regardless of the immigration status of the parents. And then those parents use this new citizen as a wedge into our country. This justifiably angers people, as no other country allows this sort of graft. If only Democrats would vow to change our immigration laws, to something more like Canada's, and only let in those people we need, we could get back blue collar workers, and those living near the border. The minimum wage, in 1980, was $3.10/hour, which adjusted for inflation would be $11.27. It isn't surprising the minimum wage stopped keeping up with inflation, as soon as Reagan stopped fining those who employed illegal workers. Without a steady supply of illegal workers, US employers would be forced to offer a living wage. If we continue being stupidly woke, we will continue to hemorrhage support from ,the very people we claim to represent. The US should, at the very least, return to levying hefty fines, on those who hire illegal aliens.

My kids didn't study either, and while they didn't get perfect scores, they were in the 98th percentile. Their friends all took special prep classes, and got lower scores. If you're smart, you do well, without studying; if you're not, no amount of studying is going to change that.

Perhaps that is because the quake was felt there as well, or perhaps it is because Israel was the first country to respond, not just with medical aid, but with earthmovers. (That Cat, shown removing rubble was probably one of many, sent from Israel. And they are also reporting on helping Syrians, as well. So are BBC (UK), CBC (Canada) and DW (Germany).

Perhaps the Democratic candidates should start saying that Republicans want to castrate every man with an IQ under 120. It would be as truthful.

  6423. It seems cool, but this 'ghost heart' is composed of an extracellular matrix (collagen, enzymes, glycoproteins and hydroxyapatite), proteins and sugars. All of which could be seen as foreign by the graft recipient. (Arthritis is often due to antibodies against one's own collagen.) That means the patient would still have to be immunosuppressed, perhaps not as much as someone receiving a complete allograft, but still suppressed. I thought the idea behind using lab grown organs, from stem cells, was that they'd be seen as self, and no immunosuppression would be needed.

No. He is completely dishonest, and the last one anyone should ask about anything.

  6456. The wealthy should not be the only ones paying taxes, but they should pay a greater share. Trump said he was going to get rid of loopholes, then only got rid of the one preventing people from being taxed twice. A lot of the wealth inequality developed when Reagan collapsed the tax brackets. The entire tax structure needs to be changed, so that money made through work is not taxed at a higher rate, than that made through investments.

But, without an interview to establish intent, a charge cannot be made. Since a sitting president cannot be charged, the lack of an interview was determined to be moot. In other words, Trump seems to have obstructed justice, but they were not allowed to prove it.

His contribution was bragging about how great he was, asking moronic questions to prove his intelligence, and obstructing the message. I'm sure Drs. Fauci and Birx still have nightmares about them. Preventing the wearing of masks, and suppressing testing, were Trump's main actions.

  6486. India, as a country with a lot of pharmaceutical manufacturing, decided to produce their own vaccine. They chose two platforms, one using the methods developed by Astrazeneca, a chimp adenovirus vectored vaccine, and the other an attenuated virus vaccine. They ramped up everything, except for several imported supplies, like the biobags for growing cell cultures. Their European and American suppliers are sending all their output to European and American vaccine manufacturers, and cannot send India the supplies they need. Modi contacted Biden, and asked for supplies, and Biden told him that the DPA required those supplies to stay here. They got a similar response from the EU. India was shortsighted, in not developing all the infrastructure they needed to manufacture vaccines, and think that they could get vital ingredients from countries that also need them. This is the downside to an international supply chain, as the US found, early in the pandemic, when we couldn't get PPE from China. And, unlike the P1 variant from Brazil, the Indian variant doesn't seem to be more infectious or evade vaccine immunity. The problem is just a lack of vaccination.

The atomic bomb made him realize he could never beat the Americans, so he finally surrendered. After WWII, the US did something no country had ever done before, we rebuilt the nations we had conquered, rather than extract their resources. Look at the economic strength of Japan and Germany today, and tell me how terrible we are.

  6509. This report left out an important fact. The Covid mutation, found in these minks, is in one of the spike proteins. Of all the mutations of this virus so far, the others are not in these external antigens. This is probably because most mutations in spike protein would ruin the virus's ability to enter a host cell. But, this spike protein mutation can still infect. All of the vaccines being developed are against spike protein. Any immunity developed from those vaccines would be against that antigen. if the protein is changed enough that the immune system no longer recognizes it, vaccine induced immunity is worthless.

One of the big problems is when the cops were allowed to confiscate and sell anything a drug pusher had, starting in the 80s, the police stopped looking the other way, and arresting anyone they could. There was money in it for them. The war on drugs has become increasingly harsh, so many more people are starting to notice.

  6576. Please don't equate being overly PC or peacefully protesting with mass killings. Yes, harassing someone for quoting Churchill is annoying, but it killed nobody. People should stop freaking out over micro-aggressions, and bugging someone out to dinner is rude, but neither kills anyone. We all should be a bit more tolerant, but only right-wing intolerance ends up with people dying. Here in Portland, we have right-wing nuts coming over from Washington to march in our city. They have stored weapon caches around downtown. I've had to deal with BDS creeps annoying me as I tried to attend events, shop or go to synagogue. But, as evil as they are, they never killed any of us. Both sides are not equal.

Further, it is hardly difficult to get that BA in education. Our high school students would be much better served, if their teachers had a degree in the subject they are teaching. Math teachers should have math degrees, chemistry teacher should have a chemistry degree. That the curriculum is set by the ignoramuses, most teachers are, is most unsettling. The studies I've seen show that children, with well educated parents, actually thrived academically during lockdown, only the poor students, did worse.

And while we do have antivirals, to use against Covid, they are less effective and more costly, than just getting vaccinated.

They should be readily available and cheap. If we all had access to those, schools could reopen more easily. We could test people before they enter a restaurant or event. Sure, they would miss some of the very early cases, but they would catch those who are shedding a heavy viral load. With really cheap, fast test strips, we could get back to close to normal, with much less risk.

And when one speaks of mental health, having to stay away from others for a bit, is a lot less damaging than being orphaned.

  6619. The woman, who used to be the minority whip in the California state house, once told me that the Republican party keeps compromising material on its elected members. Being a woman, and thus not a client of prostitutes, and a real straight arrow, they had nothing on her. Thus they could not force her to obey the party, if it went against what was good for her constituents, like they did other law makers. That was in the early 1970s, and I doubt it has changed today. Remember, the GRU didn't just hack the DNC, but the RNC. Imagine the wealth of compromising material Putin got, which he probably gave to Trump. That is probably how the cult of the orange god king is keeping Lindsey Graham in line.

Will food become more or less expensive for the common Brit? What about the people who had worked in finance?

  6623. Both my daughter and I pumped our breast milk, so we could give our children breastmilk and return to work. It was much easier for my daughter, than it was for me, because now law require employers to give mothers a nice, private place to pump. Educated mothers are more likely to make the effort, to do what is best for their children, and breastfeed. Instead of lame excuses, all mothers should be encouraged to breastfeed.

  6624.  @marshamarshamarsha4567  Many can't? Only between 1% to 3% cannot produce enough milk. Very, very, very few can't. It is a choice, do what is best for your child, or not. I pumped. My older daughter pumped. Breast pumps, today, are so much better than what I had to use, which was like a fish tank pump, with a funnel on it. Now, there are wearable breast pumps, that are much easier on the mother's breasts.

But they are fed up. Even putting up a high fence, around their yard, they still find homeless camped out on their property sometimes. It just isn't safe.

  6710. US government employees are not a foreign power. Why would we care about the action of government employees while determining how a foreign power perverted our elections, unless those employees were working for that foreign power? Imagine if the police were investigating a robbery, and found credible evidence of who committed the crime. But, instead of prosecuting the perps, there were three investigations of why the cops arrested them. The FBI was investigating criminal conspiracy and hostile foreign espionage. But, Barr wants to investigate the cops a third time instead of going after the real criminal.

This is severely stressing the economy and the people. How is that good for anyone, children included?

It infuriates me that Republicans would even run Walker, based only on skin color and past athletic glory, despite his clear inability to function. It also infuriates me, that Fetterman did not inform voters of his condition, before the primary, so they could have opted for a more capable candidate.

Syria is in a civil war, with the majority of the people fighting against the forces the genocidal dictator has brought in, Russia and Iran. The US is in Syria for two reasons: 1. Stopping genocide. 2. Assisting our allies, the Kurds, in their fight against Da'ash (ISIS).

Other HS friends tried to survive science in the UC system, and all flunked out. Until the Democratic party starts recognizing that rural schools are worse than inner-city schools, that a lot of inequity is not due to race but location, and tries to address that disparity, rural voters will continue to vote Republican. But, keep insulting them, because that strategy has worked so well.

Sadly, it was Eisenhower who started the party down the wrong road. In his fear of the USSR, he added religious trappings. While the motto "In God We Trust" was added to Union coins, during the Civil War, it was removed later. But, in his desire to destroy the "godless communists" Eisenhower had that motto put on all coins and paper bills in 1956. He also started the infamous national prayer breakfast. And, despite the constant urgings, of VP Nixon, he refused to do anything to improve civil rights. It used to be the Democrats who were against equality and reproductive freedom, but thanks to Eisenhower, those roles have flipped.

Coronavirus cannot replicate in T cells, so it is an easier problem.

  6802. In order to get a full immune response, complete with somatic hypermutation, the first two vaccine doses should have been spaced two to four months apart. (Just like with Shingrex.) But, just one dose of the vaccine didn't give good enough protection, and public health officials wanted to slow the pandemic down, so the doses were spaced a few weeks apart. The booster was to compensate for the too short time period between the doses, and give a broader humoral immunity, which can recognize novel, if similar, epitopes. As to bribes, liars, like you, cast doubt on the vaccines. Whether this was done for economic gain, or just contrary stupidity, it slowed down the effort to vaccinate the country. So vaccination was incentivized. As to the liability waivers, those were instituted in the 1980s, because even then, liars had hurt public health, and measles outbreaks had occurred.

Many formulas in the US contain more iron than their European counterparts do; the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends a higher iron level to prevent iron deficiency, which can have lasting neurodevelopmental effects." "Based on the findings of the latest scientific and nutritional research, the EU has decided that all formulas for babies up to a year old should contain the omega-3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which is derived from fish oil." But breast is still best as no formula has the IgA breast milk does. Formula fed babies are more likely to have allergies, become type 1 diabetics, and become obese as adults. Giving an infant formula is neglectful.

But true liberals realize that economic migrants are not refugees. Sadly, Trumps's action, separating families, pushes compassionate people further to the left.

Nixon started socialized medicine, when he decided the government would pay for all renal dialysis. Nixon wanted to give us a guaranteed annual income. Nixon opened relations with China and Russia. Nixon improved the economy. In fact, if not for Watergate, he would have been remembered as a great president. He won reelection in a landslide, taking all but McGovern's home state and DC. Trump should be flattered by being compared to Nixon, as Nixon was a great president, and Trump is a bum.

  7012. Those 40 year old predictions were based on us continuing on the same path. Some people made minor changes to improve things, which lengthened the time frame. But, the glaciers and ice caps are shrinking, not growing. The global temperature is rising, and that rise is accelerating. You can be an ostrich, and try semi-clever arguments to nay-say the evidence. But, that does not change things. We have had longer droughts, many more wildfires, more extreme tornadoes, more extreme hurricanes, more extreme monsoons, etc. etc, etc, in the last decade. I'm old enough to remember what it was like in the 70s, and even the place that I've lived have far more extreme temperature ranges. IN the town I grew up in, the temperature never went over 85F. People whose ranches had been in their families for over 200 years said it was always like that. Now, not a summer passes that doesn't see 105F. Los Angeles had snow last year. This is exactly what the climate scientist you poo poo predicted, extremes.

  7014. ​ @brianholloway6205  Why do you have to "talk about skin color"? Isn't the idea to develop into a color-blind community, where all are treated equally? Dividing up a class, according to skin and eye color, then teaching that those with lighter skin and eyes are oppressors, is racist. You can claim that CRT is not taught in lower grades, but take a look at the curriculum of our local Portland schools, and there certainly an effort to shame children, for the color of their skin. They are also teaching that, prior to Europeans arriving in the New World, all was sweetness in light, living in harmony with nature, in the Americans. This brown washes the fact that native Americans kept slaves, seldom practiced female empowerment, engaged in slash and burn agriculture, warred with neighboring tribes, and sometimes engaged in human sacrifice. Teaching children, that native American culture was completely beneficent is just as wrong, as teaching that native Americans were all murderous savages. Dividing humans up, into oppressors and the oppressed, is wrong. Teach true history, but don't demonize one group, based upon physical characteristics, while you pretend the other was perfect. And, since teachers are often very ignorant, if earnest, perhaps they shouldn't try to impose their simplistic belief system on other people's children.

He told us he was going to pursue this like a RICO case, bottom up. And we've seen lower level conspirators charged and convicted.

The older the patient, the less likely they were to develop antibodies, even though they eventually recovered. It was assumed they beat off the disease through cellular immunity (macrophages). With the previous SARS outbreak, the first vaccine developed decreased the body's ability to fight off the disease, by giving the virus a pathway to infect macrophages.

I have never voted for a candidate for their personality, but always for their professional history and voting record. And there is no difference between the ACA and Romneycare. It is hypocritical to like one, but not the other. I voted for Hillary because I've been following her since she was a governor's wife.

  7068. The whole Neanderthal thing is just due to Biden being an old guy, with old outdated ideas. Sure, when he was growing up, people commonly thought of Neanderthals as crude, brutish creatures, who went extinct because they could not compete. Of course, that idea is as outdated as the phrase "the cat's pajamas". Neanderthals left evidence that they cared for their sick and aged, and that they had some sort of religious beliefs, They created art, and lived together in clans. Geneticists have shown us the Neanderthals live on in our genes, so clearly there was some interbreeding between our species and theirs. In many places, there is evidence of them living successfully for hundreds of thousands of years, only disappearing when H. sapiens came into the area. And archeological evidence has shown us several sites of mass murder of Neanderthals, with the broken weapons of H. sapiens, so it is fairly obvious that we killed them off. It turns out that we were the brutes, and calling stupidity "Neanderthal thinking" is as clueless, and insulting to our victims, as the term "Indian giver". It's not that Blackburn and her ilk are truly sensitive types, but in this one small case, maybe they are correct. There's a first time for everything.

  7072.  @oracleofraelor9141 First off, it's herd immunity. Secondly, the virus isn't evolving that rapidly, you are confusing it with influenza, which can switch around its genetic sub-units with another influenza virus, during co-infection. That is why the antigens expressed by influenza change season to season, and we need a different flu shot each year. Coronaviruses don't do that. The problem with developing vaccines to coronaviruses is, they often don't evoke a strong or lasting immune response. Another problem, often a vaccine against a coronavirus allows the virus to enter, and kill, T lymphocytes, worsening a patient's prognosis. That is why the antigen used is often just a section of the spike molecule.
    1
  7073. So, is the vaccine the mRNA for the surface protein, or do they produce the gene product, or a partial gene product (peptide sequences)? Does the lipid bubble help transport the vaccine across the cell membrane? And how is the vaccine delivered, IV, IM or with an electric charge? I had a friend who had good results with DNA vaccines only by using an electric current to disrupt the cellular membrane.

He was impeached, for corruptly blackmailing Ukraine, with monies authorized by Congress, in an attempt to start a corrupt investigation. He corruptly raised the rates for hotel rooms, for the secret service. He corruptly defied the emoluments clause. His "university" had to cease operations, because it was found to be corrupt. He laundered money for the Russians. He did business with the mob, in NY and NJ. He corruptly had someone else take his SAT for him. From the minute he was born, he has been a corrupt, entitled, dishonest individual. He loves nobody but himself, and his entire presidency has been the definition of self serving and corrupt. He is the most corrupt individual, ever to serve in any governmental role, even more than Boss Tweed.

It is well known that diplomacy is much cheaper than fighting wars, yet he has gutted the State Dept.. Don't try to claim he is saving the taxpayers with his muddled foreign policy. The problem with Trump is he doesn't use the military to hold tyrants and genocidal maniacs in line, but to protect his money. Why did he let Erdogan murder our ally, the Kurds? Because he has a hotel in Turkey. He didn't remove the troops from Syria, just from Kurdish areas to the oil fields. He doesn't give a damn about peace and democracy, just his money.

  7091.  @ruthdepew7212  Actually, a lot more Americans are qualified than you realize. But, many companies would rather hire an H1 than a US programmer, because we cost more. They advertise for a job with impossible qualifications, like 5 years experience in a language that came out 4 years ago, then hire a cheap H1 programmer who produces inferior code. And the American programmers are stuck trying to debug the commentless garbage.

He wants to get the public option passed into law, and address climate change in a sensible way that will work, and improve education. And, unlike Sanders, he has proved he can get legislation passed. And in the one area a president has complete power, foreign policy, we'd be replacing an isolationist with someone who has proven diplomatic experience. Sanders is another isolationist. Electing Sanders would change nothing from Trump.

There used to be public bomb shelters, throughout the US, often in parking garages, subways, and converted mine shafts. "The United States ended federal funding for the shelters in the 1970s. In 2017, New York City began removing the yellow signs since members of the public are unlikely to find viable food and medicine inside those rooms."

If Labour had run a decent candidate, the results would have been different. If the Democrats run a far left candidate, you could be right. But, Klobuchar is not far left, she is an intelligent moderate with doable policies. She would be good for farmers and ranchers, and not impose crippling tariffs. She would make sure everyone has healthcare, without disrupting the entire system. She would restore our reputation with our allies and address climate change. The country would fare far better under her than the Russian controlled idiot we have now.

  7117. Is this really more like pre-WWII Germany, or East Germany when it was controlled by the USSR? I had acquaintances who escaped, from behind the Iron Curtain, and the Stasi were so pervasive, people were afraid to talk in front of their children, because they might turn them in for speaking against the state. That is where Putin got his start, as he was stationed in East Germany.

  7120. A little over a year ago, as countries were rolling out their vaccines, China bragged that Sinovac, an inactivated virus vaccine, would be much better than the mRNA vaccines, which only code for the spike protein. In a twist of fate, it has turned out that, for reasons science cannot fully explain, the mRNA vaccines are much more effective, at evoking a lasting immune response, than any previous type of vaccine platform. It might be due to the modifications that must be made, so that the body does not recognize the mRNA as foreign, but instead translates it into protein. Whatever the serendipitous reason, Sinovac only seems to induce a B cell response, which can be evaded by mutation, while the mRNA vaccines induce both B and T cell memory. So, while the developed world (especially those countries with better vaccine compliance than the US) has sufficient population immunity to recover, China is really suffering from the newer, immune evasive, variants. This is what happens when science is dictated by the state, rather than just being funded to flourish. China is now developing its own mRNA vaccine, which they claim will be much better than either Pfizer or Moderna.

After SARS, virologists wisely studied many strains of coronaviruses common in wild bat populations. And since there is a huge bat colony, close to Wuhan, that is where they set the lab up. What I don't understand, is how people like you, who clearly are ignorant of the facts, still opine.

If the US and UK could convince the other countries, to let Ukraine into the alliance, we'd be there, protecting them from further Russian incursions. It isn't just gas, oil and rare earth mineral that Putin wants. He took Crimea to have a warm water port.

Meanwhile, the population of Pakistan increased 3.75 times. It is not the US social structure and safety net that needs change. Pakistan needs to raise the status of women, and work to prevent girls marrying before age 18, as India has done. (Look up the Apni Beti Apna Dhan program.) Pakistani girls should be encouraged to stay in school, and get an education. Delaying marriage and reproduction reduces family size and poverty.

  7163. Yes, both parties were hurt by the extremists, putting forward out-of-touch candidates. A lot of the Republican election deniers lost. Good. But, if Democrats hadn't nominated their own out-of-touch 'progressive', in Wisconsin, we could have gotten rid of Ron Johnson. And, if we lose the house, you can look at New York. The people there have been complaining about rising crime rates, yet Democrats, when asked about how they'd address crime, always deflected to gun control. People aren't just concerned about shootings. They want property crimes, and petty crime, that negatively effects their quality of life, to be addressed as well. Pretending the rise in crime is solely due to guns, cost Democrats three Representative seats, and probably control of the House.

And, looking at the genomic mapping, the virus is most likely to have arisen in Botswana. Southeast Asia is also doing a lot of sequencing, and when you compare the genome, of this new variant, to the genomes circulating in Asia, the idea it arose there is absurd. It clearly arose in southern Africa, although probably not South Africa.

Republicans not not only accept this money with glee, the do favors to get it.

I don't agree with all the causes Soros donates to, but it is his right to spend his money, as he sees fit, unless he breaks campaign finance law. And you don't hear the GOP suggesting that he broke any law.

It isn't a matter of whether there are more intelligent, democracy loving citizens, than autocrat loving fools, but where those populations are distributed. Due to the mechanism of the Electoral College, those living in poorly educated states have greater power, than those living in better educated states. And to make matters worse, in many GOP governed states, state legislature has passed laws which will allow those legislators to substitute their will, in place of the people's vote. And don't count of the Supreme Court preventing such substitutions. Remember, they took Al Gore's win away from him, and gave it to Bush II. You can stridently avow that we won't let him win again, in all caps, but have no way of preventing it.

Profits were zero in most of the service and entertainment industries. But now all that excess spending, with money just created out of thin air, is driving high inflation, and lending rates are being raised, spending is at a serious low, and the same companies that did well, are now suffering extreme losses. There were super rich people before the pandemic, that hasn't changed. If you want to address that anomaly, look at how IRS tax brackets were changed under Reagan.

I was told, by the former minority whip of the California statehouse, the Republican party uses evidence of affairs, and other improprieties, to keep members in line.

  7257. Sotomayor is the most senior liberal justice, only because the sole male Jewish justice was strong-armed into resigning early, to unjustly give the female black justice his spot.

  7267. It was obviously a decision based upon religion. Notice that every single justice, who voted to strip away a woman's right to control her own uterus, was a victim of Jesuit indoctrination from grade school through college. This is an imposition of Catholic dogma, on every woman in the country, regardless of her religion, which is supposed to be prevented by the First Amendment. Since parents can evade vaccination requirements, by citing religious objection, women should be able to have a religious objection against any restriction on abortion.

If Democratic Senators really wanted to protect voting rights, they would pass HR4. Instead they keep hammering on HR1, knowing they can't win, to make a statement.

Are there members of Congress I'd prefer weren't there, yes, mainly the racist ones, but my disgust with them is not a reason for their resignation, I am not among their constituents. The people who elected this turd have the right to vote, and their votes should not be denied.

Isn't claiming to be trans, gender appropriation?

  7307. Let's compare the two 'leaders' reaction to getting Covid themselves. Johnson got care similar to any Englishman, and seemed to have a change of heart, and praised the nurses of the NHS for saving his life. Trump received expensive care that most Americans could never afford, then bragged about how strong he was, and continued belittling the threat of the pandemic. Johnson was clearly the better man. Johnson just pretends to be a blithering idiot, while Trump was the real deal.

  7318. Trump is all about appearance, no matter how much it costs the country. If instead of this useless boondoggle, he pushed for stronger laws preventing employers from hiring illegals, he could stop people from coming here illegally to work. If large fines were put on employers who employ illegal aliens, revenue would be generated, instead of tax dollars being spent to no avail. But Trump's hotels employ illegals, so that would hurt him.

  7321.  @Deborahmarie1217  Untrue. Our founding fathers were experimenting with democracy, in a time that all other countries were ruled by monarchs. They didn't know that democracy didn't work, but knew that the few historical examples, like Rome, had devolved into dictatorships. That is why they designed Congress to have more power than the president, and addressed that body in Article I of the Constitution. We were established as a democratic republic, even if all adults did not have the vote at that time.

  7323.  @JDOTVegas  Since the results of the 2020 election were clearly not a tie, the whole question is moot. All the Electoral College votes have been certified, Biden won, the presentation of the results in Congress are purely pro forma. While some idiots can caper like court jesters, to impress the supporters of the would-be orange king, they will not change anything.

  7325.  @JDOTVegas  It is you that does not understand. If there is a clear majority in the Electoral College, and there is one, the representatives of each state are not required to vote.

  7326. Not political science, mathematical modeling. And what they said was without precautions like universal masking two million could die by the end of next year.

  7327. No, these Catholic justices are not conservative, but activist. Conservatives are for less government interference, not more.

  7328.  @eshoras  Half of America didn't vote for 'them', they voted for their father, who is a consummate salesman. The only thing he has ever done well, is sell himself and his name. It was more like 40% of voters, who voted for Trump, he never received the popular vote. Look at other strong men, in history, and around the world, they are also excellent at selling their brand. They tell the people what they want to hear, that none of their problems are their doing, that the other doesn't understand them and demonizes them. If you cannot believe that anyone voted for this demagogue, and thinks the election was stolen from him, ask yourself how people could have voted for the demagogue on the left, Sanders, and still falsely claim any primary was 'stolen' from him.

  7338. Putin is holding the world hostage, with the threat of nuclear war. While it is true, no sane person would intentionally start WWIII, everyone is saying how insane he has been acting. I'm not sure if he really has lost his mind, or has calculatingly assumed the affect of a madman, just to frighten world leaders.

  7339.  @2d_enjoyer  Ah yes, the isolationist rant, "We owe the world nothing, Europe's problems are not ours, we should stay out of it." Such refrains were common prior to both world wars. It would be so nice, if the US could just hole up in our cave, and wish the rest of the world away. Every time we've reverted to isolationism, the world has almost destroyed itself. Nobody appointed us the world's police, but sadly we are.

A much better comparison would be if Canada decided it was going to launch a new set of Crusades. And we would handle it, the same way Canada handled us, when we had a mad president, with diplomacy. We would not invade them, and use the tactics of terrorists, intentionally targeting civilians.

My grandfather tried desperately to get any member of his family into to the US. But, despite offering to post large bonds for them, he could not get around the extreme quota on Jewish immigrants. Two of his brother (he had 9) survived the camps. One was so broken (his wife and all his children were gone), he had to be committed. The other died in Flushing, NY. All of his children and grandchildren had been murdered by the Nazis. Miller should be gratified that his family got out.

  7373. Considering the fact Russian trolls are constantly bombarding us with their firehose of falsehoods, and such falsehoods led to the election of a would-be tyrant, has greatly damaged the US's efforts to protect citizens from Covid-19, and muddied the water about the Russian invasion of Ukraine, I can see the need to combat foreign disinformation. As long as it is only foreigners, and foreign agents, being silenced, the first amendment is not breached. I hope that homeland security addresses all disinformation, even that which is more leftist, such as disinformation coming from Malaysia, Pakistan and several foreign based NGOs. Many people have deeply held beliefs, that are based upon lies. Will those, in charge of the truth, examine their own beliefs, before they determine what is false?

  7379.  @henningstedtfeld7121  Actually, if you look back at the history of why hemp was outlawed, it has more to do with profit than racism. RW Hearst owned many newspapers, and bought up huge swatches of forest, and paper mills, to supply him with wood pulp. But, hemp paper is a superior product, as acid is not needed to treat its fibers, the paper lasts longer and does not yellow. Hemp paper threatened to cut into Hearst's wood pulp paper products, so he began a campaign against all hemp. After the repeal of Prohibition, Harry Anslinger had an organization of law enforcement officers, with no place to apply them, so pushed for the Marijuana Tax Act, that require a stamp to sell any cannabis product (even rope). Of course, no stamps were ever granted. Auslinger was a racist, who saw addiction in whites as a personal problem, but in blacks, as a crime. He is the person responsible for much of our draconian drug enforcement policies, but it was Hearst's papers, which sold the public on the idea that cannabis use was a serious problem.

  7392.  @faub3282  Long before germ theory was proposed. it was know that isolation and quarantine would stop the spread of a disease. Your contention, that it does not work, is belied by thousands of years of human knowledge. It used to be our only weapon in the fight against infectious disease. Since Koch, we've understood microbes cause infectious disease, we have added hygiene to that arsenal. And we will develop a vaccine, maybe not this year, but by next year. Vaccine development used to be hit and miss attempts to attenuate a pathogen. But, now we can recreate sections of surface antigens of a virus, or the nucleic acids that code for them, in the lab. That speeds up vaccine development. It is only the testing that must take time, to ensure that the vaccine does not have unintended deleterious consequences.

  7415. She starts out the piece with WWJD. Well, according to the stories he was an Israeli Jew. And right now Israel is in total lock-down because of Covid-19. The Pesach Seder has always been a time when extended families got together, to reenact the story of our delivery from slavery in Egypt, and a family meal. Worried that this practice would really spread the virus, authorities banned all travel between cities and neighborhoods. Synagogue services and the Pesach ritual was broadcast on TV. Families were encouraged to use Zoom or Facetime to hold Seders. A friend in Kiryat Gat needed minor surgery, so his daughter from Jerusalem stayed with him three days to help him with recovery. She returned to her home on the first day of Pesach, and was stopped 7 times in that 45 minute trip, by cops wanting to know why she was out during quarantine.

I have an orthodox friend, who was put in the hospital by some of that scum, and the same scum burned down Chabad. Brown should have sent in the National Guard.

He wants to ban circumcision, which would prevent my people from keeping their covenant with g_d, so is unconstitutional as well as unhygienic.

We all started as British colonies, have English as an official language (except Quebec), are democracies, have diverse populations, are prosperous, and have a strong history of self reliance. If mass shootings only occurred at schools, your solution might protect children, although it would makes schools seem even more like prisons. But what does your suggestion do for all the other places Americans get slaughtered, restaurants, places of worship, grocery stores, shopping malls, nightclubs, bars, concerts, factories, warehouses, post offices, walking down the street, etc. etc. etc. ? Rather than turning every place we study, work, pray, eat, shop or recreate into a fortress, why not address all the guns in the hands of lunatics?

  7522. What these demographic projections leave out is the effect of intermarriage. When I was growing up, I knew only two interracial couples, and only one had children. Now, when I look at the people on my street, the majority of families are interracial, asian/white, black/white, jewish/white, arab/white. None of their children are considered white, even though one of their parents is. So, it isn't that there really are fewer European genes in the gene pool, they just are mixed in with genes from Africa and Asia. My own grandsons are a mix of Jewish genes (Asian), European genes and African genes. While they are predominantly Jewish, it is impossible to determine their origins from appearance. And one's genetic makeup has little to do with one's political views. Much better indicators are, level of education, field of education, and income level. Maybe, we should stop pretending the amount of melanin in one's skin, is an indicator of voting preference. And hopefully, someday, we'll stop making any assumptions from physical appearance.

In fact, the only cases where someone has been impeached and removed, have been officials who were not president. According to Wikipedia, presidential pardons do not apply to cases of impeachment. They cite a book by Akhil Amar, America's Constitution: A Biography, for that info.

  7547. No offense, but that chapter and verse has David Hamelech sending the husband of Bathsheba, Uriah the Hittite, to the front to be killed. Then David married Uriah's widow, and she bore him a child. The prophet Nathan then cursed David, not because he'd impregnated another man's wife, but because he had caused that man's death. It isn't until chapter 12: 15 -18 that the curse was fulfilled, and the already living child became ill and died. That is not abortion. Abortion does not kill a living, breathing child.

Be truthful, the riots were terrible, all the rioters were either far left wing or opportunistic criminals with no political affiliation.

    1
  7557. @Yuki Sapphira The January 6 insurrection was awful. But, you cannot honestly claim that the BLM riots were "mostly peaceful" because they were all violent. The minute any person is hurt by a "protestor", or any property, either public or personal is damaged or stolen, it ceases to be a protest, and becomes a riot. I live in Portland, where the bogus BLM movement is still fueling destruction and violence. Our city looks like a war zone, with boarded up windows. Since the mayor told the police to not arrest, or even take a report, of violence or assaults committed by rioters, most of the crimes never made it to the news agencies. I'm sure my city is not unique, in treating the racist rioters with kid gloves. I do know that several synagogues were burned down during the riots, one in my city, and several others, and that never made the news. The fire department classified it as arson, but nobody was ever arrested, even though neighbors had video of the evil deed.

But, I do remember the Republicans impeaching Clinton over a blowjob. Not accepting election interference, not leaning on a client nation to induce such interference, not trying to cover up all this mafia behavior with false classification of data, but lying in response to question that was not germane to the disposition. And Trump has lied in response to written questions every bit as binding as Clinton's disposition, Mueller testified to that. Not impeaching Trump for his flagrant disregard for the law is what I find hard to imagine.

And I too, think this is completely inappropriate because sociological data is too prone to manipulation to be used in valid statistical analysis. If textbook manufacturers wish to include real world data, they should look at more concrete data, like what percentage of those hospitalized with Covid-19 are unvaccinated, or how many plaque forming units are produced by unvaccinated vs. vaccinated across all age groups. That would upset DeSantis as much as highly biased, and unprovable, racial statistics, but be true data, not fabricated BS.

Biden's win was not due to "progressives" voting for him, but right leaning Independents and Republicans, sick of Trump. A three seat lead in the House, and an evenly split Senate is not a mandate for a progressive agenda but more a demand for moderation and centrism.

When he see a political opponent, first he tries to discredit them, by making up scandalous lies, like they are a white supremacist, and disseminating that information, often on social media. If that fails, he has his operatives poison them. If that fails, he throws them in jail. Trump tried to do the first, against Biden, by strong-arming Ukraine. US operatives are only allowed to collect information, not engage in the sort of activities the FSK does, so Trump failed in his bid to remain in power.

  7656. I don't know why people keep acting like "late term abortions" are a thing. If you've ever been pregnant, you know you aren't going to endure six or seven months of fatigue, pain and immunocompromise, to suddenly decide you don't want a baby. People only seek out abortions, in the last trimester, if the pregnancy is killing the mother, or if the fetus is so defective it cannot live. It is never a capricious decision.

And the most moderate Democrat running, is the one who became the Democratic candidate. If you look at the split tickets, that elected Biden, it is clear that he won due to moderates and conservative, not far-left liberals. To then claim a mandate for a progressive agenda exists, is to ignore all facts. Biden should fulfill his campaign promise, to get bipartisan legislation passed, and lean on the progressives, who are obstructing passage of the bipartisan infrastructure bill. The reconciliation bill should not even be considered, until it is more in line with what most of the country wants, moderation.

We got along fine with just a border patrol in the past century. Nor do Democrats do anything but support the Bill of Rights. In fact they are more for personal liberty, for all, than the GOP. Or do you consider the ACLU a conservative organization? Those higher taxes would mostly be on the super rich, which judging by you grasp of English, would not affect you. Lastly, better educated Americans are more likely to be Democrats. And, it is the Republican president who puts Russia over America.

Third, if everyone wore a mask properly, there would be no need for eye protection, as the virus loaded droplets wouldn't spread. You don't wear a mask to protect yourself, you wear it to protect others if you have the virus and don't know it.

  7754. First, South Africa is a younger nation than the US and Europe. Second, much of South Africa's population has already had Covid-19 before, so the most vulnerable people are already dead. Look at the data, most of the people, who caught omicron, had one or two previous Covid-19 infections, so had some immunity. Of course the disease is milder in those with some immunity. Even though antibodies, either from infection or vaccination, aren't a great match with omicron epitopes, T cell epitopes are much more conserved. Cellular immunity, not humoral, was why the disease was so mild. And this variant hasn't been proven to be more infectious, just highly immune evasive.

  7762. It is very clear that Trump did not "ace" that cognitive function test. He demonstrated that by telling us the words, he was given to memorize, were "person, woman, man, camera, tv", when the could not have been. That section of the test has five random and unrelated words. Person, woman and man are related to each other, and camera is related to tv. Thus, Trump could neither remember the words he was given, nor was he aware enough to comprehend they were all random words. Massive fail.

  7773. @Jacob Pierre The BLM/antifa riots were not peaceful in Portland even before federal troops came in. When the federal troops came in, they actually quelled a lot of the crap happening here. It got worse when they left. What the press reported was not all that happened. The police refused to take any reports from people assaulted by the rioters, or who had property stolen or damaged by them. You obviously don't live here, and don't know how terrible these riots were. These anti-Semitic a-holes came into the Jewish part of town, and assaulted anyone who looked Jewish. They vandalized our synagogues, and burned down our Chabad. But, the news never reported the racist elements of the "peaceful protesters". And, don't try to claim it was right wing haters. The people who were attacked know who did it.

Normally, mRNA is quickly broken down by the numerous ribonucleases found in nature. He kept going on about CD4 cells, but CD8 cells have been shown to give a better immune response to this virus, CD4 cells are just helper cells for B cells. In other words, killer T cells seem more effective in killing the virus than antibody production. I've seen data on CD8 cells from the Oxford vaccine, which evokes a good cellular response.

When the so call moral majority came into the party, their support of civil rights weakened, and they gradually went from a pro-choice party, to anti-abortion. But still, real Republicans are conservatives, who stress ethical behavior, not lewd, promiscuous, prevaricating, populist demagogues, willing to betray the country and the Constitution. That is why real Republicans, like Cheney, Kitzinger, Charlie Sykes, and all the former GOP strategists of the Lincoln Project, are doing their best to keep Trump from forever corrupting the country, like he's done their former party.

If the Senate chooses, they could institute a test for mental acuity for all Senators. But, an age cutoff would be both unfair, and would not address the real problem of mental competency.

That is why most Israeli businesses have a clause, in any contract, that any dispute will be settled in European or American courts. Court reform will only help to stabilize the current shaky situation. But, if court reform is passed, those who've always enjoyed privilege, like this man, will have to contend with a bit more equality, and a more just system. The whole reform vs. status quo question is about allowing the privileged to continue to have an unfair advantage, over their darker skinned brothers. We may all be one people, but some are more equal than others.

There are many who get angry when one accurately calls the violence, theft, destruction and racist attacks of 2020, BLM riots. Many still falsely insist they were peaceful protests. If you can't get a consensus on that, how do you expect to get a consensus on January 6? And gauging from the disinformation and nonsense surrounding the vaccines, for many, up is down.

And, as a previous commenter noted, if dealing with a variant, that number could be higher. So, until we have herd immunity (70% of the population immune) it's wiser to continue to wear a mask inside among crowds, even if fully vaccinated. Church is one of those high risk activities, because singing really projects the virus.

Some areas of the country might not be affected, or they might be in the calm before the storm. Testing with both PCR to determine if the virus is present, and serological testing (for antibodies) to determine if someone has had the virus, is important to determine this.

  7978. My reproduction days are behind me as well. But, I have two adult daughters, and two lovely little grandsons. Watching they ordeal pregnancy was for my older daughter has reinforced my belief that women need the right to terminate unwanted pregnancies. I hated the sickness and pain of pregnancy, but mine were easy compared to my daughter's. She and her husband really wanted children, and they are wonderful parents. But, if her pregnancies had not occurred when they were financially and emotionally stable, it would have been a crime to force her to endure the gestational diabetes she did. I have never had to consider an abortion, nor have either of my daughters. But, I'm not so self centered to think every woman is as lucky, as we have been. I would never condone forced abortion, as I would never condone forced pregnancy. Every person should have the right to control their own body. Abortion must remain safe and legal, in order to have a just world. BTW My younger daughter is a Tay Sachs carrier, and it would be a sin, to force her to continue a pregnancy, if one ever happened, if her fetus had the trait.

No need for people to take time off work. Our state saves a lot of money voting this way.

It was difficult to slip reality past the orange tyrant, but you did it. It is a shame that, by making sure the idiot Trump couldn't understand you, your timely warnings also slipped past much of the US populace. Most of what you said went right of the majority of their heads. Your only fault was overestimating the intelligence of most people. Those fools think you were siding with Trump.

  8014. Kennedy repeats the lie that the US pays for 70% of NATO. We do not. It is false to claim that our entire defense expenditures are used to defend NATO, as the majority of the money we spend goes to military action in the Pacific and the middle east. A more realistic figure is we cover 22% of NATO expenditures. Also, Trump did not want to sanction Russia, and only signed them into law after Congress passed the bill with a veto-proof majority. Kennedy says we should evaluate a politician by their actions, not words. Yet, he seems to be noting but words, and his actions in Russia (when he went with that GOP only group) did not show strength. Therefore, his words are moot.

  8025. If Trump had not been showing visitors, to his club, top secret documents, his possession of stolen documents would not have been discovered. It was only because this flagrantly dangerous behavior was reported, that the National Archives requested their return. If, upon that request, Trump had returned them, it would never have become a story. Instead of returning them, he lied and said he didn't have them, returned a few, and had lawyers lie, and say that was everything, moved boxes of documents to other locations, including an easily breached storage facility, then ranted when a search warrant was served, claimed that he had declassified them with his mind, that they were his documents, and also that they were planted. In contrast, Biden did not know he had classified documents, and when his lawyers found them, returned them without needing to be asked. He then opened up his homes for search, without a warrant being needed. I'd not be surprised, if this inadvertent removal of documents happened all the time. The only reason Biden's goof is news, is idiots falsely claim it is just like Trump's purposeful theft and obstruction.

I only met one, and she was gerrymandered out of her district, through collusion of the Democratic and Republican parties. (She had been the minority leader of the California state house.) Yes, Santos lied even more than Walker, and should never have been elected. But, his Democratic opponent, Zimmerman, knew of his lies, and his campaign didn't advertise them. Why? Zimmerman's campaign spent $3,130,015 of the $3,148,912 they had raised. Why was none of that money used to inform voters of Santo's fabricated resume. All it would have taken was a few appearances, at local synagogues or JCCs, to let Jewish voters know of Santo's false claims, and word of mouth would have gotten the message out. The false claims, of Holocaust surviving grandparents alone, would have driven such outrage, Santos would have lost. What was Zimmerman's campaign thinking?

And the girls whose parents try that, end up the most screwed up, with no idea how to get along in college.

I had neighbors who could not understand how my tiny garbage bin was never full, when they filled two much larger ones, until I showed them that the kitchen waste could go in the compost bins. Now they put out three compost bins each week, for only four people. They order out a lot.

When I had to heel stick infants, for bilirubin levels, I could unswaddle the infant, prick its heel, draw a little blood, rewrap it and place it gently back into its bassinette, and be out the door, well before it could begin to cry. With my own babies, I noticed they really didn't experience pain, the same way we do, until around six weeks. So, while its still in utero, there is no way it feels pain, as a human being does.

That is not lying, it is just being pragmatic. The problem lies in oversimplification, with attitudes like "all black people were victims, and all white people are oppressors". Not only is that utterly false and extremely racist, but does nothing to help people coexist.

We should place similar limits on them. As to CCTV and Al Jezeera, the fact they can broadcast here is wrong. Like RTV, they are nothing but propaganda, and disinformation, and should also be banned. A law that prevents all hostile foreign powers, spreading misinformation here, would be a good one.

They found a guy who had committed rape, and dropped all charges for him to testify against Netanyahu. Does that sound above board to you? They accuse Netanyahu of offering a good deal to Walla, in return for favorable coverage. Yet Walla has always dumped on Netanyahu, and he didn't handle that portfolio. The left complains Netanyahu accepted expensive cigars from a rich American friend, yet look the other way ate how Gantz defrauded the police fifty million shekels. The charges are bogus.

  8228. Strzok's assertion that he made have had a personal (and perceptive) bias against someone with a web of Russian connections, yet did not act on it, is proven by the fact he did not break FBI rules and report the investigation to the public. Comey's breaking of those rules to report that the investigation of Senator Clinton's emails was reopened, by finding duplicate emails on Weiner's laptop, may have been the action that defeated Hillary Clinton. Trump and his cabinet continue the use of private email, yet that is what tarnished her candidacy. However, if the FBI had treated Trump equally, and revealed the investigation of his Russia assistance, we might now have a competent head of state who does not distress our allies.

Blasey-Ford's brother works for BakerHostetler, a law firm that has retained Fusion GPS on a case in which her brother was not involved. She spoke of this to her husband and a therapist long before Kavanaugh was appointed. And she wrote her representative about his sick behavior even before he was appointed. You want to tar her because other people in her High School were wild. Look at the pages of his yearbook. Not only are there wild parties, but he was a member of a drinking club and he wrote of striking a woman like a gong, every day. You think that she should have said "No". How,? She was grabbed trying to head to the bathroom, and he put his hand over her mouth so she could not scream. There is absolutely no excuse for what he did. There are other people that could be appointed, that are not sexual predators. One of those on the Supreme Court is more than enough.

  8271. I remember the Covid briefings, and how she constantly put out information that took intelligence to digest, bioinformatics and statistical predictions. I always assumed it was because Trump was too lazy and stupid, to understand she was contradicting him, and was amazed by how clever she was, getting out information he would have hated. But now, with all the venom being directed towards her, I realize most of the public is as stupid as Trump.

  8272. Why no investigation? What are you afraid of the FBI finding? A second woman has already come forward, if history of sexual abuse proves true, more are out there. Why not wait a bit to find out if there are more victims? The only answer is that the GOP knows he has abused more women. This candidate will not be a good justice. We already have one misogynistic conservative on the court. We don't need another.

  8273. And if such an investigation proves what we already know, that he is unfit, what then? The only way to remove him, is through impeachment and removal. And after the failures to get rid of Trump through impeachment, whose unfitness for office was even more egregious, do you expect Thomas to be removed?

All the selfish little brats, that put Trump in office, because they didn't like Hillary, are the reason we have a 6-3 majority conservative court, instead of a 6-3 majority liberal court. It will take about twenty or thirty years, for the country to recover from the damage their little temper tantrum caused.

  8353. @The Great Gazoo Well put. Funny how there wasn't a huge problem with people coming here illegally, back when employers got massive fines for employing illegal workers. Reagan did away with that program, and boom, the crisis began. I was living in LA in 1981, and noticed a sudden influx of people who could not speak English. He then renewed the program, in name only, in the Immigration Reform Act of 1986, (at the same time he gave amnesty to the three million illegals already here,) but gave no means of enforcement. This works well for corporations, they hire cheap, exploitable labor, and if they get deported, there are always more.

It is brought to the endoplasmic reticulum through signaling, where ribosomes have tRNA bring amino acids to the proper codons. I had to learn this from books and lectures. But, here is a simple video that can teach you the basics. Note, that once mRNA is transcribed, DNA is not involved at all, and certainly is not modified. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDIJexTT9j0

  8387. Zakaria is not a computer engineer and does not have the capability to understand what cutting China off from existing technology does. China has always relied on development by others, often stealing the result of that expensive development. But, by cutting Huawei off from all of this American, European and Israeli technology, they are stopping this Chinese ability. Huawei knew they might be cut off from Google Play, and had prepared their own alternate app store. But, they had not realized they would also be banned from using Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp. They do not have viable alternatives, and will not develop them in 90 days. They will no longer be able to use the newest versions of Android. Of course, Linux is free, but all the work google has done to make a cell platform will be off limits. They are also cut off from using ARM, which allows chip development using VHDL or Verilog. There is no alternate chip design platform, and this platform took about 20 years to optimize. They can no longer use Intel, Xilinx or Atmel chips, or any of the chips the Israelis have developed. Israeli engineers who were doing development of Huawei, who also have US citizenship, were all fired Monday. That really hurts Huawei much more than it hurts them since Israel is the world leader in security. Huawei no longer has the use of any development platform, the best engineers, a robust O/S, or any of the apps that have changed our lives. They have been thrown into an technological stone age. This death blow to China's biggest tech firm may change its behavior.

However, it is illegal to pay off that person to keep the voters from finding out about the affair. It is also illegal to let another person pay them for you. I can find no record of Clinton, LBJ, JFK, FDR, Harding, Taft or any other philandering president having such a payment made for them. In this illegal matter Trump is a first.

As a chemo patient, I avoided getting hooked on the oxycontin my oncologist kept writing scripts for, by eating the cannabis cookies my wonderful daughter baked me. Oxycontin makes one nauseous and constipated, and is physically addictive. Cannabis is not physically addictive, doesn't block you up and helps with nausea. They should hand a big bag of edibles to every patient in the infusion room.

  8414.  @diegoalaris  Nobody ever claimed vaccination would "stop covid in its tracks", that is utter BS. This insane distrust of expertise existed long before this century began. The problem is too many people think their uneducated opinion holds the same value as that of a real expert, like an immunologist or virologist. Some ignorant goober claims an antiparasitical can cure a viral disease, and all the other fools jump on the stupid bandwagon. Many assumed, once a way to prevent deaths, disability and continued spread of the disease was available, everyone would avail themselves of it. They did not account for how blindingly stupid some people are. Too many ignoramuses are "concerned" about the negligible risks of vaccination, while ignoring the infinitely greater risk of infection. They lack the intellect needed for a real risk analysis, but will not trust the experts, who can make such an assessment. We cannot eliminate the pandemic if we don't have sufficient vaccination coverage, and stupidity is preventing that. That is why mandates are necessary.

  8416. @Holly Golightly The reason some need a booster is, the two doses were space too closely together to get a solid immune response. Don't think of it as a booster, but the third shot in a series of three. As far as being a guinea pig, millions have been vaccinated already, and observed for half a year to a year. This is not an experimental vaccine, in any way. If you're worried about the mRNA vaccines, even though they evoke a good immune response without adjuvants, get a vectored vaccine. But, stop lying and claiming you're worried about the novelty, when most vaccine, administered to broad swatches of the public today, had a lot less testing, before they were mandated for all children.

Most of the so-called side effects turn out to be fictitious, and the known results of infection are much, much worse. And none of the vaccines have been "recalled". Stop spreading lies and fears.
    1
  8421.  @onenationunderground2360  How ignorant are you? The purpose of a vaccine is prevention, by inducing an immune response, and memory against pathogenic epitopes. The mRNA vaccines, and adenovirus vectored vaccines, are vaccines by the very definition of what a vaccine is. Aspirin is an anti-inflamatory, a treatment given to reduce symptoms, HCQ and ivermectin are antiparisiticals, useless against viruses. HCQ is no longer used to treat malaria, as most Plasmodium are resistant. It can be deadly, in certain individuals, as it so raises oxidative stress, that the RBCs lyse.

  8422. @TQM If you're vaccinated, you shed much less virus, for a lot shorter period, thus greatly reducing you chance of giving it to others. There are several good papers in Nature, Immunology, Cell Science, etc. that demonstrate this. But, I doubt you could understand them.

  8427. If you've recovered, you should test negative using a lateral flow test. If you recovered less than six months ago, there could still be circulating IgG against the nucleocapsid protein in your blood. Of course, that would depend on whether you mounted an adaptive immune response.

Nor did he sing the praises of the Sandanista, as they murdered their people. Nor has he sent a letter of support to Maduro, this year, as Sanders did. Obama has spoken against the party drifting too far left. Saying communism is bad is not fear mongering, it is honesty.

It's been almost two months since Pelosi announced the start of impeachment proceedings. As to partisan, the partisanship of Clinton's impeachment was clearly partisan, as they impeached him over not fessing up to a bj. And Johnson's impeachment was with only Republicans in power. If you kick anyone who agrees with impeachment out of your party, don't bitch that it isn't bipartisan. The GOP presented video testimony of Clinton's accusers, yet Trump is preventing any form of testimony of the fact witnesses, and McConnell goes along. McConnell blocked Obama's court appointments. He is blocking all legislation coming from the House, including bills to address gun violence and lower the cost of medicine. And now, McConnell plans to break his oath of running a fair and impartial proceeding. The man is an impediment to democracy. Help Amy McGrath take his seat in 2020.

If you live in a bubble, where you never come in contact with the Covid-19 virus, it might be safer to avoid vaccination.

But, I still think McAuliffe did his own candidacy in, with that stupid comment about parents not having any say, in what their children are taught. It is long past time that teachers, and school administrators, realized they are employed (by the taxpaying parents) to serve the best interests of the children, the children are not there to give them a sinecure.

Further, many members of Congress, considerably older than Fetterman, are in much better health. It is not his age people are worried about, but his crappy health. Having a stroke, at his age, is worse than having one in your 70s. And, by not revealing his stroke, before the primaries, was extremely dishonest. If he really were a good guy, he'd have given Democrats the option of picking a healthier candidate.

  8547. In swing states, Democrats slightly outnumber Republicans, but most voters don't belong to either party. This is because the are moderate, and the far left and far right are unappealing to them. If Democrats want to push those moderate independents, to vote for Republicans, they are on the right track, letting their far left members dominate the agenda. If they want to control Congress, after 2022, they need to change course. If they really want to win, they need to drop the 'progressive' agenda, stop with the social engineering, and do what Biden promised, at least try to get bipartisan legislature passed. There already is a very popular infrastructure bill, that has passed the Senate. That would be a good start. Remove the temporary, inflationary social spending, from the reconciliation bill, and just reverse the tax changes made under Trump, return the corporate rate to its previous level, and restore SALT deductions, so home owners aren't taxed twice on the same money. If Democrats don't do that, they can plan on losing in every high tax state.

  8548.  @mariekastler5391  Sorry, that is wrong. First, educated people used to be more likely to vote Republican, than Democrat. That only began to change in this century. Second, US education has been on a downhill spiral, since the 1960s, starting with Johnson's Great Society. That is when the idea, that everyone should have equal opportunity, began to be replaced by the false notion, that everyone has equal ability. That is when people began to sue school districts, that had tracking (where the best students were not held back by the poor students), because their child wasn't smart enough to be included in the top track. That is when assets ceased being given to talented children, who might do great things, and instead given to ESL and special education. The degradation of education is much more a result of ill-applied liberal ideology, than a conservative desire to hold people down.

  8549. It is galling, that Trump is not already on trial, but understandable. Under Barr, Trump's AG, DOJ was used as a tool against Trump's enemies. Those who opposed him were investigated for anything and everything, despite turning up no crimes. And, his cronies got away with all sorts of crimes. Biden, and his AG, wanted to go back to a time when US justice was blind, when it did not matter who the accused was. So, Garland is proceeding slowly, silently and cautiously, building up a strong case against Trump. The problem is, his crimes are so many, this is taking a lot of time. Look at how the orange idiot blustered and accused, when his compound was legally searched for stolen documents. Look at how his cult responded, calling a legal search, a "raid", and acting like the criminal is a victim. When Trump gets charged, do expect violent riots to erupt, as his followers do not understand the law.

  8597. So many comment here demonstrate people do not understand what is happening. Israeli judges are appointed by a committee made up of current and former judges, and members of the bar association. The people and the people's elected representatives, unlike in most countries, have no input about who becomes a judge or justice. Unlike in the US, where the president appoints the chief justice, this undemocratic, oligarchical committee appoints the chief justice. All this court reform would do, is allow elected representatives, of both the government and the opposition, to appoint some of the members of the judicial appointment committee. While this will not totally restore democracy, it is a small move away from all control of the country being in the hands of self appointing tyrants. Israel, like the UK, has no constitution. Most countries, that lack a constitution by which to measure laws, don't allow their courts to overturn laws passed by the democratically elected parliament. And that is how Israel used to be. But, as the citizens of the country moved away from her communist beginnings, the courts kept to their soviet like ideology, and decided they would just take the power to overturn any law they didn't like, based upon their own ideology. Further, as the judicial appointment committee also appoints all governmental legal advisors, and the attorney general, they used that to strengthen their control over the government. They ruled that the advise of these illiberally appointed advisors was binding. So, if the country elects leaders to accomplish a certain task, the unelected advisors block them. This effectively makes the vote of the people moot. The country is controlled by a very nepotistic, partisan and corrupt appointment process, that means you may only advance if you have the "correct" (ie. communist) ideology, are not religious, and are from the "correct" background (ie. Ashkenazim from Russia). If you are a Likud member, or a darker skinned Israeli (Mitzrachi) you can never advance. What underlies this whole debacle is a desire of the entitled, light skinned elites, to keep a monopoly on well paying jobs, and exclude darker Israelis living in the periphery. Those against the reform have the same attitude as those southern parents, who march against school integration. If you're for equality, if you're for justice, if you're for the Rule of Law, you have to be for the judicial reform.

Before legalization, my kids had an easier time finding weed than I did. I went through chemo, for cancer, and even though cancer patients were supposed to get legal weed, my oncologist didn't agree with the idea. So my kids bought it for me, on the black market. Now, that cannabis is legal for all, the black market has dried up. One side effect of legalization is, it's harder for minors to buy weed. We also can buy cannabis with no pesticides and other dangerous residue. Good luck getting black market pot, with a chemical analysis. Since we've now decriminalized all drugs, we'll see what happens.

If they had been honest, and admitted they would not allow alcohol, they would never have gotten the games, despite billions in bribes. Instead, they said beer could be sold, then reneged the day before the first match. Football was invented by the Brits, and is often called "the English game", and British football fans expect to be able to drink beer.

  8616. Much less water content, which allows it to fry without splatter. The farmer grew, and sold, a patented strain of potato. The question is: how did he obtain the seed? Only contract farmers, which he was not, were given them and their contract specified that they could not give seed potatoes to others. So either he stole the seed, or it was given to him illegally. It seems harsh, but actually is legal and justified.

I'm not a Republican, but feel a small bit of sympathy for the quandary McConnell found himself in. Trump had been siphoning off many of the funds, the RNC used to rely on. Then Trump backed absolute dogs, because he only cares about himself. And now he's being blamed for the damage Trump caused? However, my sympathy is someone lessened, by remembering McConnell could have backed removal of Trump, and a ban on him ever running for office again, which would have made him immaterial.

  8639. Within the Internal Revenue tax law is this section: (3) Corporations, and any community chest, fund, or foundation, organized and operated exclusively for religious, charitable, scientific, testing for public safety, literary, or educational purposes, or to foster national or international amateur sports competition (but only if no part of its activities involve the provision of athletic facilities or equipment), or for the prevention of cruelty to children or animals, no part of the net earnings of which inures to the benefit of any private shareholder or individual, no substantial part of the activities of which is carrying on propaganda, or otherwise attempting, to influence legislation (except as otherwise provided in subsection (h)), and which does not participate in, or intervene in (including the publishing or distributing of statements), any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for public office. Thus, any church that has tried to change any law, especially those regarding a woman's right to control her own body, should be taxed for every penny they bring in. If the IRS started enforcing this with vigor, a lot of our country's problems would melt away. This should make all the profits, from healthcare and insurance, the Catholic church makes, taxable. And they should have to pay property taxes too, as the largest landholder in the country. Not only might this curtail their mendacious activity, it would bring in a lot of needed revenue.

Oh yeah, and one who wasn't a narcissistic lunatic, who thinks he can rape or molest anyone he fancies. And doesn't want to engage is isolationism. And doesn't have a lot of side deals with Russia, Turkey and China, like TFG did. And doesn't idolize brutal dictators, like Trump and Sanders do. Are there any in either party, besides Haley and Bolton, who realize how beneficial it would be to help the Iranian people get free of their brutal theocratic tyrants? Are there any in the Democratic party, who are willing to automatically deport every single person, who crosses illegally into this country? Are there any in the GOP who will insist the government stays out of women's health care? Having now suffered both Trump's and Biden's presidencies, all I can say is Biden is better than Trump, but not by a lot. I'm not sure who I'll vote for, but it won't be Trump, Biden or DeSantis.

If you can't wrap your mind around the fact that others have the same rights you do, consider this. You cannot counter the ideas of others if you do not know what they are. Conservatives should be allowed to speak on campuses, even if just to give their opponents the ability to politely disagree.

Remember that the Russians hacked both the DNC and RNC in 2016, but only weaponized the DNC data, by releasing it through Wikileaks with false data added. (A California Republican state congressperson told me, in the 1970s, that the party kept information on affairs members of their party had. They disliked her because she didn't always tread the party line, and had no skeletons in her closet, that they could blackmail her with.) What was in the RNC data? How many dirty little secrets did it contain? And who has that data now?

I find each point reasonable. Which do you disagree with, and why? And if you can't come up with a intelligible response, maybe it is your intelligence that is weak.

Rather, they had a long conversation about which countries make the best baklava, coffee turkit, etc. And about which part of Lebanon is the nicest, and how to win at shesh besh.

He looked at long bread lines, in the USSR, and claimed that was still better than the USA. He said illegal immigration was a Wall St. plot, and supporting deporting any illegal worker, until he realized that was politically a winning attitude. He was against any form of gun control, then changed his outward stance for the same reason. The man is just like Trump, a deceitful, populist demagogue, willing to say anything for power. Yet he had never, despite his many years in Congress, gotten a single law passed to help the people.

When terrible, destructive riots occur, and crime is on the rise, and we call them peaceful protests, and talk about defunding the police, many voters think we are both deluded and dangerous. When inflation just keeps getting worse, and our answer is to pump more money into the system, with big spending bills that only help a small segment of the population, voters think we don't care. It's all very good, to point out the lunacy of the other side, but not if we ignore the lunacy on ours. And a comment full of all caps, and spelling errors, doesn't make anything we say seem thoughtful. (hint credible, not creditable)

That idea is belied by actual voter turnout, where the majority do vote. And by the fact that voter turnout drops in non-presidential years. It isn't easier to vote every four years, people are just more motivated. I live where we've voted only by mail, since 1998, and yet in several critical elections, my younger daughter chose not to bother to vote.

Because she was hard working and popular, she became the minority whip of the California State House. But, the Democrats disliked her popularity, and her own party hated the fact she put her constituents' needs before those of big donors. Her party refused her funds for reelection, and ran a far right goon against her in the primaries, she still won. So, the California DNC and RNC drew the districts lines to exclude her family ranch from her district. She had the option of leaving a ranch that had been in her family for over 150 years, or not running. She chose to retire from politics. Her name was Carol Hallett. It is not easy to go against one's party.

  8756.  @jjtighe8628  I went to Hiroshima and Nagasaki, at the age of ten. I was horrified at the photos in a museum there, and began to cry. An elderly Japanese gentleman told me not to cry, while it was very sad those people died, more Japanese were dying each day, in futile attacks against US forces, and that only the nuclear bomb was able to convince Hirohito to sue for peace. He was very impressed with the way the US built Japan back up, after they surrendered. My father was part of that effort, as a professor of medicine at Tokyo Army General.

While there was always a town drunk or two, there weren't huge encampments of homeless people, self medicating themselves.

  8776. The only way we can fix the problem of people who are here illegally is by penalizing those who hire illegal workers. Don't blame poor people for exploiting a system. I had a friend who crossed the border illegally. He said he had no problem working as a janitor, used a fake SS card and split whenever he heard identities were being checked. If we had a national photo identity card, he would not have been able to exploit the system. But that will never happen, big companies like hiring illegals, they work cheap and are afraid to complain. Also, wealthy people like hiring cheap nannies, maids and gardeners. Even if a national id cleared up the problem of corporations hiring illegal workers, it would be hard to deal with the problem of illegal "help" who are paid under the table in cash. These workers also have to put up with crummy employers who underpay and threaten the workers with ICE if they dare complain. But the rich people don't face any penalty for hiring them. Take the onus off of the illegal workers and put it on their employers. Institute jail time for those who hire workers without a legal status.

  8803. It's funny how the US is willing to throw trillions, at Ukraine, so they can drive out those who invaded them, but expect Israel to cede more and more land to those who invaded their land. Oslo, which was flawed at best, set aside Area C for Jewish development. Yet, the US complains whenever the native people, the Jews, build in Area C. They say nothing about the constant arab settlement development in Areas A and B, and even C. But the Jews are not allowed to build in their homeland. Such clear racism is obscene. Remember, the only reason why there are so many arabs in Judea and Samaria is, the Jordanian army invaded, and ethnically cleansed the land of the native people, the Jews. They then brought in arabs, from other lands, to fill those homes, farms, and orchards, from which they had driven the Jews. These Jordanian invaders only started calling themselves "palastinians" in the 1960s. They murder innocent people, and celebrate their deaths. Two young women, and their mother, were recently gunned down, as they were driving home from friends. And the evil invaders celebrated their deaths with parties and sweets.

Even if you made good money, had children fighting in the US Army, and were trying to sponsor family members to get them into the US, you could not. My grandfather tried to save members of his family, but could not get around the quota. All were killed. Claiming we have a history of helping asylum seekers is a lie.

People like Manchin and Murkowski represent the country better than the wack jobs on the far left or far right. Notice that Congress's biggest accomplishment last year was the bipartisan infrastructure bill, written by Manchin. The "progressives" and the Q crazies tried to kill it, but the sane members, of both parties, passed it into law. Only moderates get anything done to help the people.

  8888. In the 1970s, Carroll Hallett was a family friend. She had been the minority whip of the California state house, for decades. She lived on, and worked, the ranch that had been in her family for well over a hundred years. She was very popular with her constituents, because she always voted their interests. That made her unpopular with the party leaders, because she often didn't vote the party line. She told me that party leaders often kept disobedient members in line with blackmail, but a a moral, happily married woman, they had nothing on her. Remember, the Russians hacked both the DNC and RNC, but only weaponized Democratic data. If Carroll was correct, I bet the Russians have a lot of juicy secrets, which they probably gave to their boy, Trump.

Is he giving huge tax breaks to the rich and corporations, while taking away programs that help the poor? Does he constantly enrich himself at the expense of his taxpayers? Does he ignore the devastation of a natural disaster if the citizens affected are brown? So, as a young man Trudeau wore overly dark makeup as part of a costume.

So far, no vaccinated person has suffered from long Covid, after infection.

  8969. Since the two party system in nowhere in any of our laws, how would you do that? The last time, a third party rose to any real power, was just before the Civil War, when the Republicans arose from abolitionist minded Whigs and Democrats. With the Republican party being coopted by Trump, and the Democratic party becoming coopted by the 'progressive' minority, we need a new, moderate party for sane people, who believe in the common good and constitutional freedoms. A recent poll showed 62% of Americans believe we need a new party, because current parties do not represent the interests of a majority of people. There recently was a zoom meeting of 120 Republicans, thinking of forming their own conservative, anti-trump party. But, the most popular attempt to do so, under Ross Perot, only got 19% of the popular vote. So, even if the Electoral College was undone, it would be hard for a third party to succeed, no matter how badly it is needed.

The US said, until it was a true democracy, not a kleptocracy, it could not join. (That was under Obama.) And sadly, when the Ukraine elected an honest reformer, who was not controlled by Russia, the US had a president who was controlled by Russia. Russia is still trying to replace reformers with more Russian backed stooges. Hopefully, Ukraine will be invited to join soon. And many Ukrainians are willingly preparing to stave off the Russian invaders. They've been conquered by Russia before, and have experienced the genocide Russia inflicts.

Garland told us he would work his way up the chain of conspiracy, to prevent the peaceful transfer of power. The indictments, made so far, show that is exactly what he's doing.

The secondary mission was to help Afghanistan become a functional democracy, with freedom for all, Trump screwed that up, by negotiating with the terrorists, without having the Afghan government at the table, and having their evil fighters released from prison. The US wasn't beaten by goat herders, but by a Russian puppet.

Sure, you can blame the Chinese, for not keeping their wet markets closed, and for continuing to engage in the trafficking of endangered species. But, they were hurt as badly, as other countries, by the resultant pandemic. You can't blame either this administration, or the last, for pumping money into the market, to prevent another Great Depression, because the results of not doing so would have been much worse. And, despite any nonsense Warren wants to spout, the only way to counter the resultant inflation, is to raise interest rates, to discourage spending. And really, we have had absurdly low rates for a long time. With higher interest rates, savings accounts should finally generate a decent return, so saving should be encouraged. And if you think interest rates are high now, take a look at what they were in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. It isn't so bad now. And sure fuel costs have soared. (Guess you shouldn't have purchased that gas guzzler.) But, Putin's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, not any action by any part of the US government, is to blame for that. Go ahead, blame Powell for having to do what he had to, and replace him. The next Fed chair will also have to raise interest rates, or we might face triple digit inflation.

But the destruction has been indiscriminate, and statues of founding fathers, explorers, those who fought on the Union side, and even forest wildlife have been willfully destroyed. Their actions have been less those of people wanting justice, and much more like that of the Nazis. When the "demonstrators" marched through the Jewish part of Los Angeles, and specifically destroyed stores owned by Jews and defaced synagogues, it was like Kristalnacht. People who are truly fighting racism do not use racist tactics, as many of the rioters have. This willful destruction and evil behavior will give Trump all the ammunition he needs to win. If we really want the orange tyrant gone. we have to be better. No more violence, no more destruction of public or private property.

It culminated in Wilberforce's Slavery Abolition Act of 1833, that outlawed slavery throughout the British Empire. Certainly, those in our country, must have thought about, the problems of slavery, when a slave rebellion, in Gloucester County, Virginia, occurred in 1663. But, the US abolitionist movement began in earnest, after all English slaves were already freed. This is not an area where the US has anything to brag about.

Some children are thriving with online education. They can work at their own pace, and are no longer being held back by the dummies in their class. Keeping children at home doesn't just protect adults. It also protects younger siblings, who cannot yet be vaccinated. And the idea that children aren't sickened, by this virus, is so last variant. Pediatric wings of hospitals are filling up with Covid patients. It is a lot more distressing to be ventilated, than to learn at home. So, some kids are falling behind on socialization. That's a lot better than experiencing neural damage from Covid, which will impede that ability to learn anything. This, send kids back to school at any cost, perspective is both selfish and ignorant. At least wait until all children over 6 months can be protected, before forcing children back into a giant petri dish.

While it should be obvious that better mass transit, and high speed rail, would ultimately be better for the environment, any attempt for that improvement is stopped by a wealth of environmental regulations, used by property owners because of NIMBY. Take a look at all the regulations, making it nearly impossible for California property owners to add solar panels to their home, then connect them to the grid. There is always a sweet spot to regulations, enough to prevent industry from stomping on individuals and the environment, but not so many that positive change is impeded.

  9141.  @arceusthomas2447  So Trump lied? So what? If he's talking, he's lying. There was no such standing order, and there was no record any of the documents, that Trump purposely stole, were declassified. Sure a lot of the documents, that Trump illegally took, had implications about his illegal foreign dealing. But, what is more important, they revealed intelligence sources and methods, so were a threat to national security, especially as hostile foreign nationals had breached storage areas.

I did not vote for Obama, nor did I like a lot of his foreign affairs policies, BUT in no way was Obama's administration the fouled up, corrupt mess, filled with incompetents, that Trump's is.

And those you deem the deep state are the conscientious, dedicated, hard working, nonpartisan bureaucrats, who make our country work. They could make more money in the private sector, but serve in government out of a sense of duty. I find your disparagement of these remarkable public servants truly repulsive.

  9146. Saudis aren't upping their oil production out of spite, but because they have been under fire, from Iranian backed terrorists, the Houthis, who have destroyed some of Saudi oil refineries. And what has been the US's response, but to take the very terrorists attacking them, off the terrorist watch list. All to make nice with Iran, the biggest sponsor of terror. This is a lot like when Obama made the DEA stop an operation, to identify and arrest drug smugglers, when it turned out Hezbollah, also funded by Iran, was the major player in drug smuggling. Rather than allowing the DEA doing its job, and addressing the real problem of terrorism, the US looks the other way, to make Iran happy, to make a deal that only benefits Iran. If the US wants Saudi Arabia and the UAE, to up their oil production, all we need do is return the terrorist Houthis to the terrorist list, and promise that no deal will be made with Iran, that does not curb their support, funding, arming and training of terrorists.

Trump has lied in a written deposition, attempted bribery, bribed a porn star into silence, accepted foreign campaign help, extorted a foreign country for more campaign help, attempted to fire a special prosecutor for illicit reasons, obstructed justice, obstructed Congress, illegally held foreign aid, and intimidated witnesses to his crimes.

There have been many clinical trials, in many countries, and they all show that the vaccines produce longer lasting, broader immunity. Of course, those who recover from a Covid infection, and then get vaccinated, have the best immunity. (Also, there is a lot more to the immune system than just T cells and B cells. There are a whole battery of different white cells, with unique functions, not just lymphocytes. Don't discount cellular immunity. Humoral immunity is not the totality.)

A lot of the cars parked around the parks, where the BLM rioters are camped out, have out of state plates. They are the outsiders, not people from Clackamas. Why hasn't Wheeler done anything about the attacks on Jewish people and institutions? Why has he told the Fire Dept. to not issue a report of the the two arson attacks on Chabad? Why has he told the cops to not take reports about antisemitic attacks? Why didn't he keep the curfew in place? His actions and inaction is responsible for this violence. He should stop trying to deflect his failings on Trump. Trump has done many, many things wrong, but this is all Wheeler's fault. I voted for Wheeler in May, but never again.

Other countries either modeled themselves on us, or altered their monarchies into constitutional monarchies. The US Senate, like the Australian and Canadian Senates, were modeled on the British House of Lords. But, the UK, Canada and Australia have all gradually removed power from their non-democratically chosen house, so all they have is advisory power. They can slow down the passage of a law, but not prevent it. If we also reduce our Senate's power, in the same way, and shift their confirmation power to the House of Representatives, we will have a far more democratic country.

That always cools down the monetary system. There's no need for price controls, higher interest rates will do the job.

Obama wants to save the planet, so Trump must see it burn.

  9269. Because RNA is single stranded, it is less stable than double stranded DNA. That is why the vaccine the UK is using is a DNA vaccine, even though this is an RNA virus. The beauty of an RNA virus, if it can get to the endoplasmic reticulum of cells, the gene product produced is the antigen. Nucleases are everywhere in nature, which would cleave any vaccine made of nucleic acids.That is why this company has wrapped their vaccine in a lipsome. There is a German company and an Israeli startup that are taking a similar approach. One problem some previous vaccines against SARS and MERS had, was they actually allowed the virus easier entry to T cells, to kill those lymphocytes. Using RNA that just coded for a portion of the spike molecule fixed that deadly problem. I just hope that the vaccine produced is safe and stable, and can be produced in large quantities.

The second time, he failed to win the Electoral College, even though the odds are heavily stacked, in favor of Republicans. His coup attempt failed badly. Mainly because he assumed all Republicans were as corrupt as he was, willing to use the Constitution as toilet paper, as he did. And they weren't, yet. But his failure, to override the will of the American people, rankles him the most. So he brags about how many fools, he duped into a failed coup attempt.

  9281. Yes, inflation is bad. But, Trump's profligate spending, while cutting taxes, played a big part in today's inflation. Israel used to be the same, people bought everything on credit, because if they waited until they received their wage, it had less value. If you put your money in the bank, you were a freyer, a sucker. Inflation was never that bad in the US, not in the 80s, and not now. But, the problem is the result of the government handing out money it didn't have. And that occurred in the previous administration, as well as Biden's. Many more people think the previous administration was the epic disaster, not this one.

  9294. Zakaria missed an important point. The reason that the police are militarized is the war on drugs. As the black market in illicit drugs became more and more lucrative, those engaged in that black market armed themselves with more powerful weapons and acquired better security. The police responded by establishing SWAT teams, employing rigs with battering rams, and obtaining military grade transport and weapons. The war on drugs is also the main reason so many people are in jail, especially those of color. More people are jailed for nonviolent drug offences than violent offences. The 1920s proved that prohibition of alcohol only resulted in gangs and violence. We should end all prohibition and treat drug addiction as a medical, not criminal, problem. And we need intelligent gun control, like they have in Canada. If there were fewer high powered weapons on the street, the police would be less jumpy and prone to violence themselves.

Yet, if all guns were required to have such locks, only the registered owner could use them. And why aren't gun owners required to keep their guns locked up, so nobody can steal them?

If he behaved this badly when drunk, he should have stopped drinking. We can feel bad for him for being a drinking and gambling addict. But, that does not excuse the way he has treated girls and women. So he shows poor character traits with these addictions. He has also taken advantage of stolen materials, and then perjured himself before the Senate when asked about the theft. He has helped cover up for a predatory judge he worked for. All in all, he is not a good person. His bad character means he should not be seated on the Supreme Court, and probably be removed from his present bench.

Only Congress has the constitutional power to tax or spend, not the president, so he really exceeded his power. But, this is more of a matter to be settled in civil lawsuits, not a criminal trial. It certainly doesn't come close to, using monies authorized by Congress, to blackmail a foreign nation, to get them to illegally investigate a political opponent, or raising a mob to prevent the peaceful transition of power, or stealing documents, some classified, from the government. All of these felonies are well beyond exceeding the power of the executive branch, which Trump also did.

  9384. Santorum repeated a constant NRA talking point that is clearly nonsensical. The claim that areas with strict gun control still have lots of gun violence is absurd. It is due to the fact that there are no borders between places with gun control and places without. Chicago is a prime example. Sure, the city itself has very strict gun control, but there is nothing stopping would-be criminals from going to Indiana or Wisconsin, which have law gun laws, to buy a weapon. In fact the majority of guns used to commit crimes in Illinois come from those two states. Don't believe me?

Clearly, a a fetus relies on the host body for its energy, oxygen and warmth, it is not a discrete individual. Therefore, it is not a being, human or otherwise. It is, rather, a parasite that relies on the host body. People have the right to remove parasites, like fetuses or tumors, even though they have different DNA from the host.

Is safety, from disturbed people toting guns, no longer an issue? CNN has print (well text) about this disturbing event, so they know about it. Why the news blackout on violent gun deaths?

You are confused by influenza, which has its genetic components in 7 or 8 interchangable subunits. That is why influenza constantly presents new antigens. It's not really mutation, just mix and match during coinfection. And vaccinating someone, who is already infected, sometimes is very beneficial. Think of Rabies. I suggest you actually learn something, take a class or two, before your spout out more nonsense. Everything you said is wrong.

  9443. Trump's rant about other Republicans, in charge of elections, being "stupid people" is really indicative of how stupid Trump is. Signature verification must be done before the envelope containing a ballot is opened. Only after the signature is verified, and it has been determined the voter has not already voted, is the envelope opened, and the ballot put into the bin of ballots to be counted. Once that has occurred, you can no longer do a signature verification, because the ballot has been removed from the envelope. Even if a single envelope, in a thousand, was found to have a faulty signature upon reexamining all the envelopes, what would the recourse be? Toss out the thousand good ballots, to eliminate the one bad one? I'm sure that is want Trump wanted, which is just further proof of how stupid, and ignorant of citizen's rights, that he is.

  9494. So what exactly did Nixon or Trump do? Nixon spied on his opponent, McGovern, who admitted that he also spied on Nixon's campaign. What Nixon did wrong, was cover up that he did something all politicians did. That was wrong, but is small potatoes when compared to trying to change the results of an election, that already occurred. Most of you commenting, weren't even alive then. But, I remember Nixon did a lot of good for the country, including the EPA, which he proposed , subsidizing basic foods, got us out of Vietnam, insisting the government pay for renal dialysis, and proposing a guaranteed annual income (which Congress nixed). He did not encourage propaganda assistance and theft, from a hostile foreign government, as Trump did. He did not encourage bribes from foreign leaders, like Trump did, or fill his staff with family members and corrupt hangers on. He actually worked hard at his job,. and like all presidents but Trump, the office aged him. His foreign policy was the best I've ever experienced. And when it appeared he'd be impeached, resigned from office, to spare the country. Clinton was more corrupt, than Nixon, and Clinton was also a good president. Trump was not only twice impeached, but when he lost reelection, tried to prevent the peaceful transition of power. Any comparison, of the two men, is baseless.

  9527. Why do newscasters keep asking how it could be a close race in Virginia? Have they never been to Virginia? Sure, there is the beltway part, where most are well educated and work for government institutions, and are very well off. But, there is also the hillbilly type part where people live in homes so old, an indoor toilet had to be added, or in trailer parks, where the owner keeps raising the fees. Go down to the southern part of the state, and you meet the salt-of-the earth people, with only one tooth in their head. (I don't know if it is due to bad dental care or meth use, but there are a lot of toothless 20 and 30 somethings down there.) They don't have educations, they don't have good jobs, and they want someone to blame. Autocrats don't often rise to power, in countries where everyone is doing well. If you want to defeat Trump and his cult, you have to do something to give hope to the bubbas. Dis former president Clinton all you want, he knew how to do that.

Don't forget he is the one who wrote all the bills, that got passed in the last couple of years, that Biden is falsely taking credit for. He lives a much less lavish lifestyle than most politicians, especially those who claim to be 'progressive', living in a crummy houseboat, when Congress is in session, not a fancy townhouse like most. It's funny how you support those who spend other people's money, to live well, but accuse Manchin falsely.

All of those momentous events happened in the 21st century. Nothing will arise from this photo op moment, it is quite unimportant.

If it were not for the First Amendment, he would probably ban all of them from the White House. Have we ever had a president that called the Fourth Estate the enemy of the people before?

  9568. Sure, populations came back somewhat after the plague, but not to the levels of today. Florence in the Renaissance held about 70,000 people, today it holds around 383,000. Since the city is about the same size, it is clearly more densely packed today. The more densely packed a city is, the more susceptible it is to a pandemic. And there was no teleconferencing in the Renaissance, so you had to live near one another to take part in trade and commerce, or the arts. Vaccination, modern plumbing, sanitation and modern transportation allow us to pack people more tightly, but cannot totally prevent infectious disease or difficulty obtaining food. If you like living cheek to jowl, huge cities are fine. But, a lot more people prefer less dense locales. And with the internet, they can live in a more affordable area, and go into the office once a week. When a commuter train was established between Los Angeles and San Luis Obispo, the smaller city doubled in size with all the people using the train to commute into their office once or twice a week. A lack of decent transport into large cities is probably the only thing preventing those cities from emptying out. If a subway tunnel were built under the Hudson, many more people would live in New Jersey. If better transportation is put into place, watch Zakaria be proven wrong.

Funny that the White House is claiming, the money released to the corrupt and brutal Iranian regime, will only be used for humanitarian needs, as the Qataris have already reported that the Iranian government, and IRGC, has already taken all the money, and can spend it on whatever they want. And the Iranians have said they'll use the money for whatever they want, including support of terror. If it had just been a hostage for criminal exchange, that would have been bad enough..

  9671. Some of the occupation began much earlier, when the British were in control. They forced out the native people, and replaced them with arabs. If the imported arabs instituted a genocidal attack, on the native people, the Brits solved it by removing even more Jews. Of course, the most heinous occupation of Jewish land occurred in 1948, when the Jordanian army invaded, and ethnically cleansed parts of Judea and Samaria. But yes, it is weird how people pretend the occupying arabs are native, and the indigenous people, the Jews, are wrong to live on their own land.

California is not homogeneous. I grew up in rural California, where everyone had guns and went hunting. Then I moved to LA, were decent people didn't have guns. I've also worked in Thousand Oaks, where the population is a mix of rural and urban types. There's also a mix in attitudes towards guns. Plenty of people regard laws as suggestions.

People can still be smuggled in, they can use tunnels, and half of illegals just overstay their visa. The only real way to solve this problem is to severely punish those who hire illegals. Grant a few more temporary worker visas for seasonal workers, no dependents. But investigate every business that hires workers and make them prove all of their workers' immigration status. Impose massive fines on those who don't vet their workers properly and the jobs will dry up.

  9695. Many countries are suffering inflation, because many countries pumped money into their economies, by giving out money to make up for job loss. If you heat up an economy, by pumping in unsecured money, inflation always follows. Government expenditures can't be infinite, as revenue isn't infinite. There is a lot more agreement among virologists, than economists, because real scientists don't torture math the way economists do. Nissim Baruch (z"l) was the Israeli economist, who brought that country's inflation under control. He did it by reducing the automatic wage adjustments of civil servants, and raising the interest rate. After inflation was brought under control, their economy soared. The US has tamped down inflation by raising the prime lending rate. It works, and needs to be done.

Some of this human carnage is on Biden's head, for withdrawing in a way he was warned against and closing Bagram AFB before removing all civilians, more lies on Trump's head, for negotiating a surrender with the Taliban, without the Afghan government at the table, forcing that government to release 6,000 Taliban fighters and beginning the troop withdrawal. But, most of the blame lies in a mindset that revels in the mass murder of civilians, the younger the better. A way of thinking that allows the bombing or shelling of civilian targets, without warning, or uses their own children as human shields, from which to launch attacks on civilian population centers. And even worse is, thinking such pure, unadulterated evil is permissible in furtherance of the subjugation of others to your misogynistic, repressive idea of your religion.

  9712. Justin Jehoshaphat, thank you for pointing out the truth. I'm old enough to remember when the Egyptian, Arafat, appropriated the name Palestinian for the Arabs. Most of the Arabs in Israel are from Egypt, Syria, and Iraq and have no connection to the land. There has to be a reason that the UN changed the definition of refugee, just for the Arabs who claim to have lived in Israel, from someone who has lived in a country at least 20 years to 5. The real question is why, when far more Jews were kicked out of Arab countries like Yemen, Jordan, Iraq, Algeria and Tunis, they were absorbed into the Israeli population; yet 70 years later the Arabs are still considered refugees. I also wonder why our news never covers the countless Israelis killed while working, shopping, eating out or taking a walk in a forest, yet if a terrorist is shot it is a cause celeb.

  9720. That's not how the immune system works, it doesn't overreact because of antibodies. In fact, by scouring out the antigens, antibodies quell the cellular immunity that produces the cytokine storm. That is why they give Rh negative women anti-Rh plasma when they give birth. It prevents her immune system from reacting to the Rh factor in a subsequent pregnancy, which would cause blue baby syndrome (erythroblastosis fatalis) . But, you're correct that giving plasma in conjunction with other treatments, you cannot have valid results. There are too many variables to draw a legitimate conclusion.

We cannot label every disease that originates in China the "Chinese virus" because it would just be too confusing, too many viruses emerge there.

  9725. Actually, if Covid-19 were like SARS, we wouldn't have had a pandemic. We were incredibly unlucky. The problem is SARS-CoV-2 is primarily transmitted before symptoms appear. With SARS, symptoms appeared before transmission, so patients could be isolated. And SARS didn't cause disability. There was no Long Sars, if you survived, you were fine. But, the rate of disability lasting years, is well over that 10%. An insurance company released their data, showing 12% of those sick enough to stay home, (not be hospitalized, just stay home) were still not recovered enough to return to work, over two years later. And that was over a year ago. Death is not the only negative outcome of infection, and Covid-19 has both a higher mortality rate, but also a higher disability rate, than polio.

The Jordanian Waqf (which claims control of the Temple Mount) refused to do anything about the terrorists, That is why the police had to enter, and of course, the terrorists attacked. Yet the police managed to arrest them without killing a single terrorist. It's time Israel took back control of Har Habayit. Jordan is not doing a good job at all.

Health officials were pleasantly surprised when the Covid vaccines prevented infection from many of the early strains, but that was never the intent. The vaccines are supposed to protect against severe disease, disability (long Covid) and death. If we tested everyone for influenza, measles, polio, or any of the other viruses we are vaccinate for, we'd find lots of breakthrough infections for those viruses too. Since fully vaccinated individuals hardly shed any infectious virus (as measured by plaque formation, not PCR), and are protected from serious infection, breakthrough infections don't matter.

  9824.  @Wolfnotsheep1  If you understood anything about cell growth, viral replication, immunology, basic biochemistry, you'd not make this asinine statement. The whole virus is not contained in these vaccines, only a portion of a single protein. There is not logical reason to assume this could possible affect the neurological system or insert itself into any cell, let alone its DNA. And this isn't a retrovirus, even if there were. There is not enough of the viral RNA to replicate, just the code for a small portion of one of the spike proteins. There is no viral polymerase at all. It simply cannot replicate. G_d, I hate ignorant people who throw out buzz words they don't comprehend.
    1
  9825.  @Wolfnotsheep1  That's simple, the virus is either detected through RT-PCR (reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction) or through antigen to the virus. The first finds even the smallest viral load, but takes time. The second is quick (like a home pregnancy test) but cannot detect low levels of the virus.
    1
  9826.  Ficki Fiona  It's not that simple. There are some people who do not have fully functioning immune systems, like those with a genetic deficiency, or undergoing chemotherapy, or taking anti-graft rejection drugs. The vaccine cannot work for them. The only way they are protected is through herd immunity. By every member of the population, who is healthy enough to take the vaccine, doing so, we achieve herd immunity.

The Chinese government was trying to suppress that information, which is why it ended up on Discord.

The person being checked gives them references and they question those people. They check the criminal record. But since his victims didn't come forward until now, he didn't have one. Until he swore, under oath, that he wasn't a drunk, they wouldn't have thought to interview college friends to find he was lying. His victims coming forward gave them leads to pursue, which the FBI didn't have in previous investigations.

  9831. Stimulants and depressives often have a reverse effect on those with ADHD. Real pseudoephedrine has no effect, up or down. But after three days of use, gives many migraines. It is a good decongestant, as it doesn't have a rebound effect. Today though, Sudafed is phenylephrine, which can cause one's heart to race. In fact, it was so dangerous, it was once taken off the market. But, since pseudoephedrine can be used to make meth, that safe and effective drug is no longer sold, in many states. And we are stuck with the rebound prone, heart damaging phenylephrine.

We'd not be saddled with this orange bladder of wind if he had not substituted his judgement for his superior's in a bid for the limelight. Strzok used his company phone for personal communication. That is all. He didn't want Trump to win? That just shows he's sane. The man has been a Russians spy hunter for decades, which explains a rational bias against a Russian tool. He didn't like Hillary either, but knew she was honest (for a pol) and would work for the American people, not a Russian tyrant.

I disagree with the previous writer that we thought there would be more connectivity in the 70's. That belief really didn't develop until the 90's and the rise of the internet. Yes, we had PCs in the mid 80's, but they were seldom connected. As a programmer in the early 80's, I only had access to intranet (within the business). In the 70's (and early 80's) computers were only found in businesses and colleges. Even in the 90's .edu and .org address far outnumbered the .com addresses.

The father set such a marvelous example, kicking a woman who was already down, in the head. It does not matter why those other females were there, if she really felt threatened, why didn't she go inside the house, and wait for the police? Why did she come out with a knife, and try to murder others? If she were truly afraid, why didn't she just drop the knife when the officer arrived? She was clearly in a violent rage, the reason why does not matter, she was trying to kill somebody. Stop blaming the police for parental misconduct. Anyone protesting this shooting, is blaming the wrong people.

They are economic migrants, without the skills that Canada requires. We do have a problem in the US. Just because I strongly dislike the way Trump's administration has gone about solving the problem, does not make it go away. If we had as strict an immigration policy as Canada has, we'd probably not have this problem.

They wanted to give him a potassium sparing diuretic, to bring his levels up, but it had nasty side effects. So I just brought him some KCl, and we brought his levels up the easy way. If 16 hours of fasting can bring down K levels, imagine what a few days of fasting, with kidneys damaged by poison, can do.

But, no longer. Next election, I'm voting for the most conservative person running. I'm tired of this terror. Violence was not "way down", it had just worked it's way out into the suburbs, especially the Jewish part of the city. You needed to do something, get the creeps out of the parks, where they set up camp, so that law abiding citizens can go outside safely. This is not the first time you've let thugs take over the city, and thought you needed to "negotiate" with them. Most of them don't even live in Portland, they just came in to cause damage. Our property taxes go up and up, in your efforts to appease these violent criminals. I'm thankful the federal government took action, after 50 days of your inaction.

  10012. The Oxford Dictionary defines a proxy war as "a war instigated by a major power which does not itself become involved." The US instigated nothing. Russia invaded Ukraine, unprovoked. Sure it made up a bunch of bogus excuses, such as we felt threatened that more countries joined a defensive alliance, and the country, with a Jewish president, and several Jewish cabinet members, are all a bunch of Nazis, or we're helping the Russian soldiers we placed in Ukraine the first time we invaded, but it was still unprovoked. The instigating party was Russia, and they are certainly involved.

After the defeat of Axis powers, in WWII, would you have predicted that Japan and Germany would become the economic and political powerhouses, they both became by the 1980s? I noticed that other countries are quite happy with the US's manufacturing capacity, when it comes to vaccine production, just as they were with our ability to produce antibiotics in WWII. China may be a production juggernaut, when quality doesn't count. But, their manufacturers propensity of cutting corners, makes any product they produce of suspect quality, be it electronic components or monoclonal antibodies.

  10041. @Andrew Warther Agriculture is not the problem, California produces more agricultural product than any other state, yet is hurt by the Electoral College. The problem is a lack of decent education in rural areas. I grew up in rural California, and was the first person, from my town, to graduate with a pure science degree, from the UC system. I was not adequately prepared for university, and made it through on determination and intelligence. Students from LA or SF had already taken AP calculus and science. Not only did my high school not offer any AP classes, but we didn't have any calculus at all. If I had wanted to study crop science, I'd have been well prepared, but only that field had decent classes. Rural schools are insufficient, and mostly produce resentful individuals. Improve education in rural areas, and people will be less resentful, with no desire to stick it to urban folk.

  10042.  @OneEyedJack1970  We are the first modern democracy. The problem is, when our Constitution was written, there really was no blueprint on how to do it. The Founding Fathers were enlightened, educated and intelligent, but had no real examples to go by, so made mistakes, The four biggest mistakes were, establishing a presidency, slavery, lack of universal suffrage for adults, and the Electoral College. If they'd had more examples, they probably would have gone with a parliamentary system, but in their day, there was always a supreme ruler. It took a while to eliminate many of those problems, and develop into a true country, rather than a loose affiliation of states, which we no longer are.

Russia took Comey's bad behavior and ran with it to disparage Hillary Clinton. It turned enough people to give Trump a thin margin of victory. We would not need to be investigating the Trump campaign's illegal activity to remove the worst president in US history.

  10064. If FDR had said Hitler needs to go, would the news have discussed such an utterance of truth, as a gaffe? These talking heads need to get over themselves. What Biden said, has much more of the country behind him, than he has ever experienced. People hate politicians and diplomats because they can talk for fifteen minutes and never answer a simple question. Biden spoke plainly, told an obvious truth, and rallied much of the free world. That is not a mistake or gaffe.

I find calling such criminals "mostly peaceful protestors" disingenuous. As soon as any property was stolen or damaged, as soon as any assault occurred, BLM lost all credibility. No truly just cause, endorses such criminal behavior.

  10073. Some of the nomenclature can be confusing. I remember reading, late January 2020, that this disease could be transmitted by asymptomatic individuals, and warning everyone I knew that this was going to be very, very bad. Later, the CDC decided to distinguish between asymptomatic and presymptomatic, and said the asymptomatic were not as infectious (that 75% you cite). But, that distinction is misleading, because you don't know that a presymptomatic person is ill at the time they are spreading the virus. And that is why it was so difficult to isolate the infectious, without adequate testing. And, we tested stupidly, only testing those with symptoms, when it was those not yet showing symptoms, who were busy spreading the disease.

  10094.  @rtorres4132  If you knew anything about epidemiology, you'd know population density is a major factor in disease spread. With the largest, most dense, population in the country, and so much travel from the origin, California was destined to have problems. If Trump had really closed all travel into the country, and required returning citizens to quarantine, we would not have the worst pandemic numbers in the world. If Trump had put the DPA into effect, to manufacture PPE, so many of our healthcare personnel would not have been exposed, and died. Closing travel during a pandemic is not a "dictator move", but public health common sense; but denying the result of an election, and trying to continue in office, even when voted out, is a very dictatorial move.

  10095.  @Hollywude2011  Testing and contact tracing does not work when infection numbers are as high, as they are here. But, simply requiring a two week quarantine, for returning citizens, like most countries did, would have kept our numbers low enough to do contact tracing.

He fervently supported the BBB bill, even though polling showed a majority of the country was against it. Why isn't he promoting a reproductive rights bill? Most US citizens feel a woman's right to choose must be protected, even if they are personally against abortion. If Democrats, in Congress, don't immediately draft a bill, protecting reproductive rights, it is obvious they are leaving this right unprotected as a cynical means of obtaining blue votes. Congress needs to act now!

We called the police, to report a hate crime, and the officer they sent out told us not to worry, because Jews don't live in Hillsboro. My husband said we were Jewish, and had children, so were worried, and this idiot told us we should probably move, but refused to take a report. I can imagine, when this good man wanted to turn in his guns, the local police being flummoxed.

He's monetarily punish any who employ illegal workers. But, he won't because he employs illegals.

Admit you made a mistake, learn from it, and in the future, don't be so sure you know better than the experts.

Differing points of view should be presented on college campuses, but today, rather than debating an issue, dissenters are cancelled or shouted down by the mob. People of college age shouldn't need a safe space, they should experience new ideas. Why should the twitter mob's feeling be understood, when they refuse to listen to the opinions of others?

  10206. I lived in LA as the war on drugs escalated and Carter dumped paraquat on Mexican pot fields. I lived there as cocaine became so prevalent that at every party, there was a glass table with a bowl of white powder on it. Our first house was in a Hispanic neighborhood, where the gang members carried knives and chains, and as cocaine more and more common, they began carrying guns and driving fancy cars. I watched as the cops started using military tactics to take down drug houses, and the cops became jumpier and jumpier. Prohibition causes gang violence (just like in the 1920s) and gang violence makes cops avoid certain neighborhoods and react with more force. You can pass all the draconian laws against the police you want; if you don't get the guns off the street and quit drug prohibition, the police will overreact.

This policy of separating families is reminiscent of the practices of slave owners. It will only hurt the GOP.

  10258. So let's see. She gets elected Senator, in a state that leans red, because she isn't a party loyalist. She gets harassed by woke activists, from other states, for not caving into their demands, for fulfilling her promise not to be a knee-jerk party loyalist. This included men, who followed her into the restroom, invading her privacy, and that of other women. She is censured by unelected officials of the miniscule state party. People lie about her and call her names. And yet, rather than announce her switch to Independent before the Georgia runoff, which would have allowed Walker to win, she waits. Yet fools still castigate her for waiting. Why don't the woke idiots, who make up on 11% of our party, see she was being loyal. If she'd announced before the runoff, Republicans would have seen that the balance of power, in the Senate, might have been affected by their vote. Then, all the Republicans, who voted for Walker in the general, but stayed home in the runoff, would have voted, and elected Walker. She could have really screwed Democrats over, by switching before the runoff, or deciding to caucus with Republicans. Instead, despite all the grief she's received, she did not.

There is no conceivable way you can blame that moronic decision on Reagan. All Reagan did was point out how bad Carter's policies were.

Let's not forget that around 2010, Facebook was facing the threat a lawsuit for discrimination from Infowars and other far right groups. Facebook used to have a human panel that tried to remove falsehoods and inflammatory rhetoric from their site. Because conservative groups post BS more often than liberal groups, it appeared that the panel had a bias. In order to avoid that lawsuit, Facebook disbanded the panel. Think how different 2016 would have been if that panel had still been moderating Facebook, and removing falsehoods.

What they are meant to do is prevent severe disease, hospitalization and death, which they have proven to do very well. Also, vaccination greatly reduces transmission if infected, by over ten fold. It is the unvaccinated who are filling the hospitals, and doing most of the disease transmission. Immunization mandates have been a part of this country, since before we were a country. It is absurd to pretend this is a novel assault on liberty. You never had the freedom to endanger others.

And, since this variant is immune evasive, a previous infection doesn't prevent it. There is no reasonable idea to think that any new variant that arises, will be prevented by a previous omicron infection. There is no logical reason to chose an omicron infection over vaccination, not one !

Second, there were armed guards at that Louisville bank, and at that New Jersey supermarket. The armed guards did not prevent people being killed ! The answer is tough red flag laws, preventing straw purchases (which is how criminals get most of their guns), and requiring a background check to finish before any gun sale. Too many places just sell a weapon, if the background check has not finished before a set waiting period. Remember, most of the weapons, used in mass shootings were purchased legally.

In an evenly split Congress, only moderates, who can reach across the aisle, can get anything done.

  10377. Racism is treating people as inferior because they are different. Racism from a person with power may affect people more. But, an ignorant, powerless person stating racist comments is still racism. I am sick of the attitude that only white people can be racist. I had a Chinese American roommate whose brother was an absolute bigot. He came into our room, then said "Hey can't you get a roommate who isn't a round-eye?" He then preceded to make snarky comments about how white people aren't into education and hard work like Chinese. I told him that I was a Jew, and we are known to stress education and hard work, and that I was doing research with a NSF grant. His response, "Oh, Jews are from Asia, so you aren't really white." He was a racist, even if he wasn't white. I get the same sort of nonsense from my (black) son-in-laws family. They feel free to make racist comments about whites in front of my daughter, because Jews aren't really white. Racists come in all colors, and Jeong is a racist.

  10380. The freedom to associate does not include those trying to overthrow lawful government. And the fourteenth amendment precludes those, who've tried to overthrow the government or a legal election, from holding office. Thus, if Cawthorn was part of the insurrection, as his actions have demonstrated, it would be unconstitutional to allow him to run for federal office again. This is section three of the fourteenth amendment: "No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof." That little fist bump, Cawthorn gave the insurrectionists, sure seemed supportive.

I especially loved how he stung all you craven would-be Nazis with his comment about this not being a country of 'blood and soil'.

Trump just gave them a target, democracy.

As a moderate, McAuliffe stood a slim chance of bucking that trend again, until he inserted his whole foot, into his mouth, with that idiotic comment about <taxpaying> parents having no say in school curriculum. As to demographics having swung blue, how many times did we hear that about Texas? The well educated and employed people, the Democrats are counting on, are mostly parents, for whom safe schools are important, but so is school curriculum. McAuliffe should have apologized to parents, and said he misspoke. By not doing so, he's kissed any chance of winning goodbye.

Comey breaking with Justice protocol, and 3. Russian interference with theft and propaganda. Now that the nation is aware of what is happening, such propaganda will no longer suppress the vote, and someone like Hillary would win. I am a Democrat, but would never vote for Bernie or any similar crazy. Any demagogue is bad for the country. I would hold my nose and vote for Kasich over Sanders. Sanders is a traitor to his own people and cannot be trusted.

Her feeling is, if it takes three or four injections for full immunity, let's at least get the first one. Then researchers can work out how many vaccinations are required, for full immunity, at their leisure. But, at least her son will have some protection. She also wants the schools to require Covid-19 vaccines, just as they do MMR and DPT. I agree with her. You might disagree with her, but then, you probably don't have a degree in microbiology, like I do.

They even help clear up long Covid, if you were unfortunate enough to get Covid before vaccines were available. Infection produces a inferior, spotty immunity, compared to the vaccines. The third dose, the booster, produces a greater breath of immunity, due to somatic hypermutation. You'd be an idiot, to try to gain immunity through infection.

Ultimately, the fault is the police's for not arresting the rioters the minute they ceased being peaceful protestors, on the sidewalks. But, if the police don't do their job, don't expect a citizen to abide having a gun pointed at them by a violent rioter. I'm a liberal, and a Democrat. But, I realize the BLM riots were violent and wrong. Where I live, they were used as an excuse to vandalize and burn down synagogues. These rioters were evil racists.

  10576. The people coming to the border are not facing genocide or persecution, which is what asylum is supposed to be for. Most are coming to make more money, and claim to be escaping gang violence. Those gangs exist mainly because of our war on drugs. This useless attempt to stop the flow of drugs to US users has been going on since the early 1970s. All it has resulted in is rich gangs and the incarceration of far too many of our citizens. It has destabilized many Central American countries and Mexico. Alcohol prohibition did not work, and gave rise to gangs. Why do we expect drug prohibition to do otherwise? Rather than continuing to treat drug use as a criminal problem, we should treat it as a medical problem. If we stop arresting people, and instead treat their addiction, we will have fewer people in jail and stop causing unrest in Central American countries, and lower the rate of injected drug users contracting diseases such as AIDS.

  10577. A Reddit thread said the protesters are carrying bags of water. If you pop a canister in water, it neutralizes it. I don't know this from my own experience, but I do know an onion can serve as an impromptu gas mask. Cut the onion in half, and breathe through several skins. The moist skins absorb the tear gas. It's smelly, but better than being blinded by the tear gas.

Until indictments are made, none of us have any idea who is being investigated, and for which crimes. And that is how it's should be.

I lived in Southern California when Carter started dropping paraquat on the marijuana fields in Mexico. At that time, the pot you bought was cheap, weak and seedy. But when cheap Mexican weed was no longer available, California and Oregon took up the slack and improved it. American growers culled all the male plants, et voila, more potent pot. Now we have all these feminized strains and you can get high on a much smaller amount. Good job, war on drugs.

  10616. Portland, Oregon did the same thing to Jewish families in the 1950s. The Jewish community was in southwest Portland, near the Willamette River. There were six synagogues, Kosher butchers, a community center, a settlement house, and numerous homes. Using Interstate 5, as an excuse, the entire Jewish neighborhood became the victim of imminent domain. While only a handful of these seized structures were torn down, to build the freeway, the entire Jewish part of town was gone. Most of the properties were then sold to wealthy white developers, for a song. And, there were several other routes the freeway could have taken, that would not have required any demolition. But, the freeway was just an excuse.

  10626.  @jimbob3030  Protest never involves vandalism, arson, theft and assault. Please stop calling a full-on riot, a protest. You make our side look stupid. Riots only turn people against a cause. As soon as the first rock or brick was thrown, it ceased being a protest. Also, you are too loose with the term fascist. Just as every liberal is not a socialist, every conservative, or Trump supporter, is not a fascist. Many of those, who follow Trump, have grievances as legitimate as those you espouse. Rural schools are worse than inner-city ones, and they suffer from poverty as much, or more, than urban dwellers. Whether rightly or wrongly, they feel that they are oppressed, and insulting them only confirms this. We will never resolve our differences with name calling. Go ahead, and hate Trump, but don't hate those who think he is the only politician who speaks for them.

  10631. The real fly in the ointment is the Senate. It is obscene that such a nondemocratic body, where a state that has 39,185,605 people has the same number of senators as one with only 581,348, has so much control. The Senate is based upon the House of Lords, and the UK, and other countries with a representative house based upon the Lords, have stripped these bodies of most of their power. They can now only advise, but not prevent laws being enacted. The US Senate should also be stripped of such power, and confirmations should either be done by the House, or a committee appointed by them. Then, the US should reform the method of electing the president, and go to a popular vote. Then you would not have a president the majority disapproved of, making such consequential nominations.

We did it before Reagan got rid of the program, and we didn't have a illegal alien problem. Let's return to sanity and start fining the creeps who employ illegal aliens again.

  10645. ​ @zanderstone2898  In Europe, back in the 1200s, the discipline of science did not exist. Sure, there were quacks bleeding people, bases upon faulty Galenic principles, and alchemists trying to practice magic, but they did not follow the rules of science. What was "true" was dictated by the church. There were plenty of people, especially seafarers, who knew the world had to be round, but they kept quiet to avoid a painful death. Science, as we know it, did not begin until the Enlightenment, and was called Physical Philosophy. While it is true that in modern science, research is not accepted until it has proved reproducible, and other experts review it, only experts are allowed that review, not any uneducated numbskull. Today, too many ignoramuses, without a relevant science degree to their name, think can question everything. These fools are extremely critical of any research, that disproves their ill-formed ideas, and accept anything that confirms them. Scientific papers are only published, in reputable journals, after exhaustive peer review.

Yet, he'd just let Russia keep Ukraine, and just hope they wouldn't invade a NATO country, forcing us to go to war and lose not just money, but American lives. Twice before, we tried isolationism, both times the result was a world war.

There will be, in order of most seats to least: Kachol Lavan, Likud, United Arab List, Yisrael Beteinu, Shas, United Torah Judaism, Yamina and Labor. I might have forgotten a few, but that is eight parties. Please note that the furthest right party, Otzma'a Yehudit, has no seats. Israel is much further left than the US. All the parties, even Likud, support a social safety net much more like western European countries. When Israelis speak of left or right, they are discussing security, not social programs. A right wing Israeli would seem like a flaming liberal to most of you.

When the Pfizer vaccine got EUA, there was data showing the advantages of IgA in mother's milk, it was approved for pregnant and nursing mothers.

They are so full of themselves, that they think their right, to do whatever they want, outweighs the rights of others, to continue living. These selfish pricks cannot comprehend, with rights, comes responsibility, and no right is absolute. They are unwilling to be inconvenienced, in the smallest way, to protect their community. It's a true shame, that some people reach adulthood, with the emotional maturity of a child of two.

He even voted against every bill to give citizenship, and for throwing illegal aliens in jail. Then suddenly, to get the Hispanic vote, he was all for open borders. He was always against any form of intelligent gun control, then suddenly was for it. He'll say anything for power, and will change sides whenever convenient.

  10757. So Stephens reason, that Biden should announce he won't run for reelection, is that it will give other Democrats the go ahead, to start campaigning now? How stupid is that? That would mean all the top contenders would stop doing their job, of getting legislation through, or running a state, and instead spend their time sucking up to donors, and building their brand. I'd much rather everyone focused on the jobs they were elected to do. (Sometimes I wish we had a parliamentary system, which would greatly reduce the amount of time politicians have to campaign.) And saying Biden should quit, because Harris is so bad, is silly. It would be better for Biden to run for reelection, with a better VP at his side.

But, I can't get rid of the nagging echo, of how we got involved in Vietnam. For those who've forgotten, the US wanted to help the Vietnamese drive back the Viet Kong invasion, of south Vietnam. We sent weapons, and unarmed advisors. Some of those advisors were shot and killed, so we armed them. From that point, it just kept escalating. But then, we've never won, or helped our allies win, a limited war. It's either all or nothing.

  10784.  @EpicAlcatraz99  This virus obtains about one mutation per replication cycle. The unvaccinated allow the virus to replicate freely, while the vaccinated do not. Therefore, vaccination prevents mutation that could give rise to a variant even more immune evasive than omicron. Plus, many of us have children and grandchildren under the age of five. They can't be vaccinated yet. Two children die of Covid-19, in the US, every day. We don't want your selfishness to kill our babies.

  10852. Death is not the only negative outcome of a Covid-19 infection. About 11% have permanent damage to heart, lung or brain tissue. Being disabled, at an early age, is not good for children. And, there are cases where a child has infected their parents, and both have died. Becoming an orphan is not a good outcome either. So, instead of trivializing the dangers of Covid-19 infections, in children, focus on vaccinating them. Yes, good ventilation would be very nice. It would certainly help asthmatic children. But, be realistic, that takes a lot of time and money. Vaccination requirements, for Covid-19, like all the other vaccine requirements for school children, is a better answer.

  10859. Israel was having a problem with vaccine hesitancy, so initiated a green passport system. Since the vaccine were administered through their kupat cholim, it was easy for citizens and residents to get vaccinated. Then, they had to download an app, which showed they were fully vaccinated. Only if they had that green pass could people attend concerts, sporting event, or go to malls or the gym. There also was a problem with the Haredi population, so they set up vaccination sites in religious neighborhoods, on Fridays, and gave cholent to anyone who got vaccinated. It was much more a carrot approach, you want to have a normal life again get vaccinated, and it worked. Israelis love their kanyonim (malls), it's like the US used to be in the 1980s.

Just like Russia invaded and occupied Ukrainian lands, then called themselves natives, the Arabs invaded and occupied Jewish land, then called themselves "palestinian". In every Arab controlled area, you find apartheid. If a Jew dares go there, he is killed. Yet, Arabs can freely walk around Jewish neighborhoods, unmolested. The Brits carved of 70% of Israel, to form Jordan, and brought in Arabs to fill it. Then those same Arab settlers invaded Israel, in 1948, ethnically cleansing Jewish homes of their inhabitants. And the occupiers keep killing the indigenous people, to drive them off the last vestige of their homeland.

  10886. We need to reinstate the program to severely fine those who hire illegal workers.

And, people working for equal rights don't vandalize, and burn down, synagogues, like happened here during the BLM riots. This was the purge, people doing whatever they wanted, because they could get away with it. It looked a lot more like a Nazi rally, from 1930s Germany, than a protest for equal rights.

If all arms had to be registered, and we had a searchable database, when a gun is used in a crime, it could be traced back to the person who originally bought it.

  10919.  @wilhelm4321  So now I understand how dangerous learning an alternate history is. Yes the Versailles Treaty was overly onerous, but your country badly hurt the French when you invaded. As far as who started it, most histories show that Kaiser Wilhelm was itching for war, in an attempt to demonstrate the might of his newly united Germany. (Maybe to prove his manhood, despite his withered arm.) The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand (of the Austro-Hungarian Empire) by a Serb, was used as a rationale for that war. Both France and England were attempting to ward off Wilhelm, with diplomatic entreaties, but failed.

You get used to your phone app warning you to seek cover. You get used to everyone cramming into the mamad, usually at night, listening to the distance "boom" as kipat barzel blows up another missile. But, some slip through. And sometimes, if there is a direct hit, even the mamad can't keep you safe.

  10942.  @mcostagirl123  Biden was only elected the Democratic nominee, because he ran as a moderate, who could reach across the aisle, and get bipartisan bills passed. That is the agenda he ran on, and that is what he should do. If he had told the people he would try to push a "progressive" agenda, all those moderates and Republicans, who split their ticket to elect him, would have done otherwise. He needs to fulfill his promise to America, to end the division, and demand the House pass the bipartisan infrastructure bill, that already passed the Senate. The reconciliation bill should only address the tax code, and restoring SALT deductions. That would give Democrats, in split states, a fighting chance of keeping their seats in the midterms.

After all, we believe what one does is what matters, not any profession of faith. And rabbis relish questions, they don't call the questioner blasphemous, like christians do. I grew up in a predominately catholic town, and all my friends hated CCD and catechism. Many became atheists, or just left the church.

But CEO kept the fancy house and a million dollar pension as well. (1981)

And all the money our society puts into arresting, trying and incarcerating, those who buy and sell drugs, could be redirected towards dealing with what makes people want to tune out of life.

Obama castigated Romney, in 2012, for saying Putin was a threat. Clearly Romney was correct, and Obama very wrong. It wasn't so much power that emboldened Putin, but the realization Obama was all talk, and no action. And, look how pathetically our government responded, in 2016, when Russia messed with our election. One might think Obama just didn't want a woman to become president.

When the only images of others you see, have all been upgraded, it's going to make you feel worse about yourself. Yeah, I know, you could load the image onto a computer, and alter it there, then upload. But, honestly, how many teens are going to go through that much effort.

  11106.  @nocause5395  Math actually involves focusing, and concentrating on the provable. Math is an elegant language, that can manipulate ideas words cannot. One of the reasons American children do so badly at math, is they are taught by idiots who don't understand it, and try to explain it with words. Math builds on itself. You can prove things, by first building and proving lemmas, then using those lemmas in a proof. Math is a tool to understand real scientific data. But when you throw sociological garbage in, math chokes. Sociology makes too many false assumptions to be a useful tool in exploring statistical modeling.

  11157.  @Gymshoe93  So, clearly you aren't a science grad. First, all studies show the immunity derived from vaccination for Covid-19, both humoral and cellular, is more uniform, broader, and more lasting than natural immunity. Second, the vaccines don't prevent infection, in all cases, but do in most. Third, if infected, a vaccinated person sheds less virus (as measured by PFU) for a much shorter time, so infects fewer people. Fourth, not only do vaccines prevent death, but disability from the virus, while 11% of those who experience the infection are disabled by it. Do listen to more reputable sources, as you're severely misinformed. I suggest TWiV.

  11177. And when Trump is convicted, not merely indicted, on insurrection charges, he will still not be barred from office, because the office of president is not considered a "triggering office". Read the 14th amendment again, there is fine print about which offices a person must have held, at some time, to be excluded. And president is not one of them. This is the disadvantage of electing a president who has never before been an office holder. There is an excellent article, on Lawfare, about this. I suggest you read it. BTW Even if he had held a triggering office, Congress can override the ban.

Since the investigation was supposed to be about real estate improprieties, once the public saw it was really about Clinton's sex life interest waned. We all knew many presidents couldn't keep it in their pants, and as long as it was consensual could hardly care less. The public's disgust with Starr's prurient discussion of private details raised Clinton in the polls. This is not about Trump's sex life. It is about the possibility he broke the law. Since the Justice Department cannot charge, it is vital that Congress sees all the details in order to determine if impeachment required.

Most mass shooters are men between the age of 18 and 21, who are able to pass a background check because their scary juvenile record is expunged. By expanding background checks, for this age group, to include juvenile records, the past two gun sprees killing a multitude of innocents, would have been prevented. Most guns used by criminals are obtained through straw purchases. By a federal law, preventing straw purchases, a lot of gang related shootings can be eliminated. Two thirds of women, killed by a domestic partner, are shot to death. By preventing domestic abusers guns, many innocent lives will be saved. The only impact this law will have on truly law abiding citizens is, saving their lives.

And sure, there is some humoral immunity evasion, with all the variants arising in the unvaccinated. But, T cell epitopes are highly conserved, due to the differences in HLA types in the population. And, as Peter S mentions, due to somatic hypermutation, the B cells produce a lot of variation in IgG and IgA.

You want to cu the cost of health care, without costing the American taxpayer? Index the cost of US prescription drugs to the costs of Canada and western Europe. Big Pharma often claims they have to charge those in the US more because they have to spend money of advertisements here. Simple, change the laws back, so that they may not advertise, except in medical journals, again.

Wilson (who was indeed a terrible racist and antisemite) wanted to enter sooner, but Hearst's newspaper empire was pushing for isolationism. (Which was funny, as he was the impetus behind the Spanish-American War.) The sinking of the Lusitania changed the mood of the public.

Gas prices are an international problem, not any president's fault. (Why do you continue to drive a gas guzzler?) CRT is a local issue, not a national one. And if so many idiots didn't behave like selfish babies, and just get vaccinated, nobody would be fired because they are a health hazard.

  11269. The same happened to my older daughter. Vaccines are hard to come by, in the city of Portland, but readily available in less populated areas. She got an appointment in a rural area, but they made the announcement the day before her appointment, so she couldn't get it. She then scheduled an appointment, for 2 weeks later, at the city mass vaccination site. Is there somewhere near you that is giving one of the mRNA vaccines? Can you get an appointment?

  11271. Scientific American used to be a respectable journal, which differed from journals like Science or Cell only in that they had really good illustrations. In the 1970s, UCLA used their reprints for classes, on subjects so cutting edge they were not in any textbook. But, then they changed formats, and became more pedestrian. The last really good issue was the one in 1985, about McCloskey's jumping genes (transposons), and I stopped subscribing, as I had lost respect for them. This endorsement revives some of the respect I once held for the magazine. Trump does not respect science, so why should science respect him?

  11272. Illegal border crossings by Mexicans is now almost null. (Do not confuse those from Central America with Mexicans.)

  11273.  @amicableenmity9820  AIDS was handled poorly from the get go. I was studying microbiology, at UCLA, in the late 1970s, and we started to read reports on this new immunopathy, that seemed to only strike homosexual males. Some tool decided that it had to be a genetic disease, and that it was linked to, the yet undiscovered, gene for homosexuality. A few days study of historical records, in the bio-med library, showed this could not be a genetic disease, it had to be a newly emergent infections disease. From its behavior, a retrovirus seemed the likely culprit. But, due to the prevailing political winds, nobody in the US could get a grant to study it as an infectious disease, or to isolate the virus. This stupidity set the virology community back a decade, and the virus was first isolated in France. None of that was Faucci's fault.

  11274.  @lovejoy1738  Accusations are not always true. If gay activists had not actively interfered with the isolation of the HIV virus, then testing of the blood supply, and identification of infected patients before surgery, a lot fewer blood recipients and medical staff would have died of AIDS.

  11275.  @ktraglin  Do you think the monuments to Jefferson exist because he owned slaves or because he wrote the Declaration of Independence, helped form our country, and was an early president? If the former, you are correct. If the latter, your argument is truly moronic. Most people would say it is the latter. By the way, most slave owners purchased them from someone who purchased them from the Arabs. I really doubt any of the slave owners in this country did the actual enslavement.

However, many people in jail, awaiting trial, were released a couple months ago. While correlation does not prove causality, it is far more likely that the rise in shootings is due to the release of prisoners than access to guns. Don't mistake me for someone against intelligent gun control, like background checks and red flag laws, it is just your statement made no sense.

Iran is now the source of terrorism around the world, backing militias making hell holes of other countries, while the Iranian people starve.

But, if you heat it, the vitamin E is converted to a toxin. When someone fills a cartridge with oil meant to be rubbed on the skin, it has proven to be fatal.

  11366. This Kelly Ford woman is a real piece of ___ claiming that the emotional distress, of wearing a mask, is worse than her child getting infected. If her precious little snowflake can't handle wearing a mask at school, she should homeschool them. Other students shouldn't face a health risk because of her stupidity. Notice that she doesn't answer the question, just spins BS. IN Israel, last year, they almost had the pandemic under control through isolation measures. Then they reopened schools, with mask mandates. All was fine, until an unseasonal heat wave hit, and parents whined that their little darlings couldn't wear a mask in the heat. Rather than just close schools, until the heat wave was over, the education minister waved the mask mandate. Two weeks later, a huge wave of Covid hit the country, and everything had to shuttered again. Oh, and btw, the guy saying governors can't issue mask or vaccination mandates, hasn't read the Supreme Court's Jacobson v Massachusetts decision in 1905.

  11367. The majority of Israel voted for judicial reform, but the privileged elite don't want to be equal to those dark Mitzrachim, or the observant. The arabs, as usual, decided to attack Jew during Pesach, and stockpiled arms, to attack innocent people at prayer. Decent muslims, not wanting trouble, asked the Waqf to remove the trouble makers, Jordan refused. So they turned to the Israeli police to remove them, and the terrorists attacked, not just the police, but muslims just trying to pray. Now liars on social media, are spinning it so up is down, and black is white.

And black and Latino police are more likely to shoot a suspect resisting an arrest, than white cops are. I understand you truly believe what you said, but everything you wrote is false. Perhaps you should not be denigrating the education and intelligence of others, when you are so woefully misinformed.

  11373. Blitzer is very uninformed. First, Israel is reeling from the destructive riots and illegal road blockages committed by the elite, to prevent a return to democracy and equality. They got used to being privileged, and really don't want to have to compete with darker (Mitzrachi, Ethiopian) and more religious Jews, on an equal footing. Of course, those fighting to prevent equality and justice, can't say that, so they claim that allowing Israel to be a real democracy again would hurt the very minorities that the left is currently oppressing. The current system is a judicial tyranny, because the courts don't answer to the people in any way. New judges and justices are selected by old ones, and they always opt for cronies and their children, so the people have no say in who rules them. The courts have granted themselves to overturn any law, stop any government action, decide who may be in government, not for legal reasons, but for ideological ones. The current jurists act like hereditary monarchs, and the people are tired of their tyranny. All the majority in Israel want is a more balanced government, more like what Canada has.

A wall does nothing to fix the problem of those who overstay visas, which is half of the illegal aliens in this country.

And nobody, advocating for sensible gun control, wants to take your gun away from you, even though it poses a risk to you. But certain weapons are meant for rapid firing, and are good only for war and terrorism, not self defense. You don't need a semi-automatic weapon to protect yourself. And if you are mentally unstable, have anger issues, or have threatened other people, you should not have a gun. As to non-gun weapons causing greater damage, we now go through security theater, in order to fly, and no more terrorists will be using jet liners as weapons.

China should have shut down the wet markets, for good, in 2003. Then the world wouldn't have been hit by the current pandemic. And, since traditional medicine, using animal parts, is completely ineffectual, the Chinese government could have an education program highlighting this fact. If they were able to stamp out religion, they can stamp out traditional medicine.

  11475. We'll see, it's doubtful that McAuliffe will win. Youngkin is an old school country club Republican, who is spouting the Trump line to win. McAuliffe might have stood a chance, if he hadn't tried to curry favor with the teacher's union, by stating parents should have no say, in what their children are taught. That stupid statement made him drop in the polls. Typically, Virginia votes for the governor from the opposite party of the president. The only recent time that didn't happen, was when McAuliffe won last time. But, Cuccinelli was a terrible, homophobic candidate, which is probably why there were four times as many votes for the Libertarian, as votes separating the two main party candidates. This time, there is no real Libertarian candidate, to siphon off the votes of those conservatives, who can not abide Youngkin. I'd be surprised if Youngkin did not win.

  11493. If you read McCabe's book, you'll find that the FBI was demoralized by Comey's firing. He wrote that the staff was depressed, some even wept. Trump kept telling him that the FBI was happy about the firing, and McCabe tried to tell him that was wrong, as tactfully as possible. But, Trump kept repeating that lie. It is not surprise that Sanders parroted him.

The only answer that I have heard was that the government did not want to upset the Muslim citizens. But, that can't be right, can it? Isn't human life worth protecting, even if those humans are Christians? Why does the world scream in outrage when Muslims are killed, but is quiet when those murdered are Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus or Animists? We never hear of the near daily killings of Jews by Muslims in Israel, or the mass killings of Christians by Muslims in Africa, or the constant terrorist attacks on Hindus in Kashmir. Why not?

  11515. The FBI received credible evidence that members of Trump's team were committing crimes. They legally surveilled the suspects, as law enforcement is required to with suspected criminals, after obtaining the proper warrants. There was no "mole" planted in Trump's team, but informants, seeing illegalities occurring, did report on them. In other words, justice officials behaved as they are supposed to. All improprieties and illegalities were committed by Trump, and those who surround him. I am amused by criminals bitching about law enforcement acting as it should. Calling people, concerned about criminals in the White House, nasty names and trying to deflect, doesn't change facts.

While the uneducated tend to be Republicans. Secondly, Democrats are sticking to the truth, what can be demonstrated, while Republicans are more likely to wander off into unproven conspiracy theories. Republicans are more likely to be the ones who feel cheated, as those with better education, regardless of race, pass them by. And, Republicans tend to project, accusing others of doing what they do. For example, Republicans looked into voter fraud in 2016, and every instance discovered was a fraudulent vote for Trump. So, keep on deflecting your weaknesses and crimes on others. We will stick to the truth.

Also, blue collar workers, of all races, used to be solidly Democratic, but now are becoming Republican. It is focusing only on race, not financial status, that is hurting the Democrats.

It wasn't till after he was elected that they began to pick on his stupid long tie. Can you imagine a female politician as obese as Christy being elected to any office?

  11583. A lot of our inflationary woes were exacerbated by the Ukraine War. Did Summers anticipate Russia's invasion? The government is trying to balance between tamping down inflation, and not causing a recession. He is arrogant, and has made far more mistakes than Yellen. According to The Atlantic "he helped to ensure that millions of desperate mortgage-holders would stay underwater by failing to support a "cramdown" that would have allowed federal bankruptcy judges to have banks reduce mortgage balances, cut interest rates, and lengthen the terms of loans. At the same time, he supported every bailout of financial firms." We have him to thank for the depression of 2008 lasting as long as it did. He wanted Biden to appoint him to the position Yellen holds. His complaints are nothing but sour grapes.

  11591. It's less a condemnation of the GOP, and more proof why it is intelligent for the Democrats to have special delegates. The Republican party has no special delegates, and that left it open to usurpation by a populous demagogue. Responsible Republicans were beside themselves, when Trump hijacked their party, but could do nothing to stop him. The Democratic party avoided this problem. First, Democratic voters overwhelmingly rejected the populace demagogue, who tried to hijack our party. (Only the young, ignorant of the perils of a soviet system, and the very stupid, voted for him.) But, even if the voters had failed to reject him, there were still special delegates available, to prevent his nomination. If only the GOP had special delegates, would never have been rules by this orange, would-be dictator.

  11599. Gerrymandering, by both parties, has made politics more extreme. Most politicians are far more worried about being primaried by an extremist, in their own party, than losing reelection to the other side. That makes politicians move towards the crazy fringe. And sane moderates, who would otherwise be willing to pass bipartisan bills, are afraid of angering an extremist base. If you don't believe me, look at the vitriol directed at Cheney, for daring to acknowledge that Biden won, or Manchin, for daring to vote against an inflationary bill. Both stuck by their convictions, rather than toe the party line, and are being pilloried for it.

He had turncoat senators giving him bogus slates of electors, and refused them. Despite the violent mob, screaming they were going to kill him, and the gallows they erected to do so, he refused the secret service urgings, to go somewhere safe, because he feared they would not let him return to declare Biden/Harris the winners. He may have been an devoted toady, up to that point, but when it really mattered he was brave and patriotic. Imagine how bad it would have been, if he'd sent the slates of electors back to swing states. His bravery staved off a civil war.

  11631. Well, there is actually a lot of truth in that. There are a lot more guns on the streets of America, than in other developed countries. US police get murdered, in the performance of their duty more than in those other developed countries. That makes US cops jumpy, and more prone to overreact in situations, especially when dealing with the people who do most of the killing. So, the police were told they were being racist (even though the data does not support that claim) and to step back. Is it any surprise that crime has increased?

And people have died, from the lockdown, which was meant to prevent deaths. So, it seems, only the Chinese people must follow rules, not their leader, and only the Chinese people must suffer quarantine, not the rest of the world. And that is intolerable.

  11753. Chip Roy wanted Andy Biggs. Do you really find him preferable to McCarthy? Let me give you a little quote from the Jan. 6 committee: “Representative Biggs was involved in numerous elements of President Trump’s efforts to contest the election results,” the introduction said. “As early as November 6, 2020, Representative Biggs texted (White House Chief of Staff) Mark Meadows, urging him to ‘encourage the state legislatures to appoint [electors].’ In the following days, Representative Biggs told Meadows not to let President Trump concede his loss. Between then and January 6th, Representative Biggs coordinated with Arizona State Representative Mark Finchem to gather signatures from Arizona lawmakers endorsing fake Trump electors. He also contacted fake Trump electors in at least one State seeking evidence related to voter fraud.”

  11759. I'm not so sure Walker is lying, he might not know any better. When my mother got into her 80s, and became senile, she told some whoppers, about what she or other members of the family had done. Many of her lies were hurtful. Then, I realized she didn't really remember what had happened, in her own life, and was just creating a fantasy world, to live in. Maybe Walker truly believes he graduated college, or was the head of his class, or was in law enforcement, ran several hospitals or was a good father and husband. Maybe, in his concussion addled brain, he even thinks he's a werewolf. That should earn him sympathy, but not a vote.

The ACA is more due to the work of Pelosi, than Obama, she is the one who pushed it through, he just happened to be president when it was passed. So my dislike of Obama does not color the way I feel about the ACA.

  11834.  @davidhardwick3816  Do not demand that people vote a straight party ticket, while the party is in delusion of the ideological makeup of the electorate. We cannot expect to win, with an unpopular agenda being driven by a tiny, far left fraction of the party. Only 6% of the nation's electorate, 11% of the Democratic party, identifies as "progressive", yet Biden pissed away his first year in office trying to force a "progressive" agenda with an evenly split Congress. The bipartisan infrastructure bill passing, was a good achievement, and Democrats can run on it this year. Yet, the "progressive" members of the party tried to kill it, so they could pass the extremely unpopular BBB bill. Democrats think their only problem is messaging, but it really is we try to do things most of the country hates. We keep being told that individual parts of BBB were super popular, yet the bill as a whole polls very poorly, and the CBO score proves it will make inflation worse. Biden ran as a moderate, that is why he won. Yet, he lets the unpopular left flank dictate what he does. eg. He insists he'll only consider a black woman for the next justice, when only 27% of the country is in favor of excluding other candidates. And then, despite the fact it was obvious it would fail, the party tried to push through a voting rights bill, that has serious constitutional flaws. In order to try and do that, the party demonized Senators crucial to passing any bill. This only makes the party look even more disconnected from reality. NYC's city council has passed a rule, allowing illegal aliens to vote. It doesn't matter they can only vote in local elections, the very fact they passed such a rule makes all liberal look insane. Biden was wise to support NYC's new, tough-on-crime mayor, but it was too late. He should have spoken strongly against the whole 'defund the police' stupidity, while still on the campaign trail. The party's problem is not messaging, but an inability to understand most of the nation, even registered Democrats, are strongly opposed to a "progressive" agenda.

  11836.  @louistully3831  What overwhelming evidence? There is plenty of evidence, from sequencing wild bat coronaviruses, to demonstrate the virus is more likely to have arisen in the wild, then jumped to humans. Mapping all the primary cases in Wuhan, show they are all clustered around two wet markets, on the opposite of the river from where the coronavirus lab. There are no initial cases anywhere near the lab, or in anyone who worked in the lab. Also, the lab uses rodents as animal models, and Covid-19 does not attach well to mouse or rat ACE-2 receptors, so it is highly unlikely the virus came from the lab. All the evidence points to a wild bat virus making the species jump, not a lab origin.

  11849. If Democrats want to win, they need to stop nominating far left candidates, who turn the majority of the electorate off. Moderation is the key to success. Admit that we need to stop letting people, who enter the country illegally, to claim asylum, because that turns off Hispanic voters near the border. Focus more on combating crime, than the rights of criminals, and those who try to evade arrest. Stop threatening/promising to pay off student debt. For every vote that bribe garners, there are three or four votes lost. Stop promoting trans rights, when it actually takes away hard earned women's rights. And when it comes to schools, focus on the needs of students and parents, not on what the teachers' union wants. Focus on the needs of the country, like combating inflation, not the desires of special interest groups, on either the far right or far left. The majority of the country is centrist, appeal to the majority, not a select minority.

But, a new conservative party can arise, that would give a home to all those former Republicans, who hold with the values that party used to espouse.

If a new moderate party arose, that didn't get into identity politics or election denialism and Q conspiracies, it could become bigger than either main party today.

His idiotic idea, that government is the problem, is why we have so many homeless. Why the man is lionized to this day, is beyond me. We went from Nixon, who may have had honesty defects, but wanted to give the people socialized medicine and a guaranteed annual income, to Reagan, a man who thought everyone needed to pull themselves up by their bootstraps unaided. What a fall.

  11879. The storming of government offices in Portland, by antifa and BLM, have been much worse than this piddling breach in Salem. Funny thing, the National Guard was brought out to protect lawmakers in Salem, but in Portland, taxpayers were left unprotected. And when those who had been assaulted by antifa, or had property damaged or stolen, tried to report it, the police wouldn't even take the report.

  11882. Sure, but there are more conservative approaches to reversing climate change, that actually would reverse climate change, rather than being a socialist job program. Why not institute a carbon tax, as our neighbor to the north has done, rather than piss away billions on a plan that doesn't really address climate change? We also need to change the tax code, so that it does not favor fossil fuels over renewable energy. Those things would not have the multi-trillion dollar price tag this "progressives'" unpopular bill has. Most Democrats do not support the type of bill, the racist squad champions. They do not speak for the majority of the party. Let's do the compromise infrastructure bill, then address climate change with a bill designed to do that, not accomplish a socialist pipe-dream that will cost generations to come.

  11887. Everyone, with a lick of sense, knows global warming refers to rise temperatures of the globe, not a particular region. This results in rising sea temperatures and increase of extremes in every area. Wet areas get wetter, hot areas get hotter, etc.. To say that there is no global warming because an area that usually gets snow gets more snow shows extreme ignorance of the model. As a school child, in the 60's, we were told that, unless population growth rates slowed, we would go beyond the world's holding capacity. We were told humans were destroying the environment. Air pollution was a real problem. People in the US had fewer children. The government took action; fluorocarbons were banned, pollution controls were put into effect. The air in southern California gradually improved and the ozone layer repaired itself. This took time. In order to slow and reverse global warming we must act *now*. You don't like illegal aliens, get prepared. A the global temperature rises more and more, equatorial will no longer produce crops. If the area around the equator become uninhabitable, they're coming here in enormous numbers.

In Oregon, the signature is verified by the same sort of machine banks have used for checks for decades. And we don't have ballot harvesting, because nobody else may collect your ballot, just the postal and elections board employees. There is less voter fraud, voting by mail, than there is using easily hacked voting machines. There is no difference what-so-ever between absentee voting and voting by mail. If Trump has no problem with voting by mail, if it is secure, why did he have his toady in the Post Office rip out our mail boxes, especially in the parts of my city where minority citizens live.

  11906. Yeah, xeriscape. I did that with my first house in LA. I had little money, so all the labor was mine. Went back to look at it two weeks after I'd sold it, all the careful landscaping was again lawn. I like the fact you assume many can afford food to go and coffee to go. I brew my own coffee and drink it out of a ceramic mug. Not only is there no waste (the old grounds go in the compost) but I don't waste gas going to Starbucks (burnt beans). And my current lawn, I mow myself with an electric mower. Since my electricity comes from a hydro-electric plant, no emissions. Why don't you grow your own food? That saves transport emissions. And sew your own clothes? I have a spinning wheel you can buy, and a treddle sewing machine. Unless you are living off the land, and totally self sufficient, don't preach.

Infection in thousands of times more likely to cause blood clots, than vaccination. Vaccines do not harm the immune system in any way. Everything you wrote is false, and I do hope your lies get removed.

That means, 1 in 20 fully vaccinated people, can still transmit the virus. For the J&J, that is more like 3 in 10 people, can still pass the virus on. That is why, even the vaccinated, should continue wearing masks in public, until we reach herd immunity.

You know that you are probably not going to get, and pass on, the virus, but people coming into contact with you, don't know that by looking at you. It isn't as if immunization will change your appearance. There are a lot of jerks out there, looking for any excuse to not wear a mask, if they see a lot of bare faced immunized folk, they'll think it is fine for them to go out without a mask. If, we do as Israel has done, and only allow those fully immunized into certain venues, people can feel safe going maskless, in those places. But, until we have reached herd immunity, wear a mask in public, even if you can't get the virus.

  11970. When your culture pushes for education, you'll do better in an educational environment. When I went to UCLA in 1976, I noticed most of the southern campus students (where STEM disciplines were taught) were Asian and Jewish. We were self selecting for those more difficult majors. Other groups took softer majors. It didn't take much money to get into UCLA, it took intelligence. There were a few members of other minorities at the start, but because half of the freshman class was flunked out, most of them weren't around by the second year. I've been told much of that has changed, in order to promote equality. But, it doesn't seem fair. If parents work with their children from an early age, and those children then do well in academics, all that hard work should be rewarded. The loss of our meritocracy hurts our ability to compete in the world. Equality should mean all have the chance to do well, but they must put in the work. It should not mean students who do badly should be given a pass because of their color. You don't see a bunch of short Asian guys on a basketball court . Why should schools for excellent students take mediocre ones?

If the company decides, what right does another group have to override their decision? If one of these groups is banned, and not the other, how is that fair or just? I'm angry too, about how SOS tried to institute a coup. But, I'm even angrier about the racists, in BLM, burning down my local Chabad. Anger should not be the motivation for censorship.

Let's not conflate this with what Trump did, purposely taking documents, then refusing to return them. There are clearly procedural problems, with document retention. Maybe all classified documents should be glued into such a huge, heavy folder, that they don't fit nicely into packing boxes.

And yet, now, he has stood firm, against Trump's efforts to change the result's of Georgia's election. Despite being staunch Republicans, he and Raffensperger have sided with the voice of the people, and the Constitution, rather than their party. Well done gentlemen.

The more education a girl gets, the later she starts having babies, and the smaller her family size.

Even if the DNC had just appointed her as their candidate, it would not have been illegal. Laws concerning parties are all about finance, not selection. In the past candidates were selected by high ranking members and party caucuses. The DNC worked in favor of Hillary Clinton in 2016 in the same way they worked against her, and for Obama, in 2008. You may not like it, but it is not illegal. The news is focusing on Trump's activities because they were illegal and traitorous.

  12052. In the 1970s, the major driver of US inflation, were constant union strikes, and rising worker wages. Perhaps, at a time we are already dealing with inflation, Biden doesn't want to make it worse, and that is why he's quashing rail worker demands. He was an adult, when the 1970s strikes were happening. I was just a child, and remember those strikes, and how it made costs climb. Biden knows, better than most, what comes of this. In addition, unlike in the 1970s, we could automate away most rail worker jobs. In Japan, freight is loaded and unloaded by robots, and AI can easily replace the engineer. If human workers become too expensive, they might lose all pay, not just sick pay.

Both sides are xenophobic and nationalistic. The only real difference is Orban is pro-Putin and Marki-Zay is pro-Europe. That's it. Next time, do a little internet research, before you blast someone for being honest about their country.

This is the sort of cynical political maneuvering we've come to expect from the Republicans. I expected better from my party.

  12064. You're wrong as well as racist. When Israel is accused of things that they don't do, but are done to them, that is antisemitic. When real humans rights crimes are ignored, like the genocide in Syria, but Israel is blamed for what the PA does, that is antisemitism. And, your condemnation of Netanyhu is based upon a lie. What has happened in Israel, is the self appointing judges and legal advisors have taken all the power. They overturn any law they don't like, and create a law they want, without having to compare it to a constitution, or tell the government the many not take any action they don't like. Currently there is no balance of power, the courts hold all of it. The reform the majority of the people want, is a way to restore a little balance.

The first documented racism was not based upon skin color, but being from a different people. Long before black people were enslaved, brought to the Americans, and treated poorly, Jews were enslaved by the Romans, brought to Europe, and treated poorly. In the ensuing thousands of years after that, we were the victims of racism, being murdered again and again, just because we were different. Even today, a greater majority of racist attacks in the US, are not directed against blacks, but Jews.

  12083. Yes, and two thirds of the change from 1880 has occurred since 1975. So half a degree from 1880 to 1975 and a whole degree between 1975 and now. That shows a rapid escalation of the temperature increase. Measurement in 1880, as now, are always taken in the shade. Also, it wasn't like one guy one place who measured the temperature. There were countless reading in many places, and the average was taken. That increase in sample size drastically lowers the deviation. Even by 1880 they had developed extremely accurate thermometers. For pity's sake, the laws of thermodynamics were produced in 1850. Charles Law was developed in 1780. You need decent thermometers to do that work.

Do you not realize that Russian forces are currently moving in on Ukraine, mainly because Ukraine has voted out most of those puppets? As long as Russia continues its imperialistic activities, the need for NATO remains.

  12111. Of course, now that medical schools realize the pathetic caliber of NYU students, they will look at NYU transcripts with a jaundiced eye. All the young adults, saying baby boomers had it made, because state schools were more affordable (not free as many mistakenly thing) should realize the flip side of the equation. Because state college used to be somewhat more affordable, every good student applied, and only the best of the best were admitted. When I went to UCLA, in 1976, there was no grade inflation, at least not on south campus (science, math, engineering). In the first two years, all classes were graded on a strict curve, where Bs equaled Ds, and As equaled Fs. Half the freshman class flunked out. The same with the second year. If you survived to your junior year, the curve eased up a bit, but people still flunked out. Organic chemistry was a sophomore year class, and was very difficult. Your chemistry and calculus had to be solid, to get a passing grade. You had to diligently study the course work, and do well in the labs. Organic chemistry turned a lot of pre-med majors into pre-law. But, nobody even considered complaining about it. We were students, not clients, we took what we were given without complaint. These pathetic students should have just switched majors. I fear for the patients they will eventually treat.

  12133. Why is the news about Adams' response to a poll, that shows so many black people hate white people, and not about the poll itself? Imagine the situation flipped, and a survey of white people resulted in only half being fine with black people existing, and the other half were either unsure if it was OK to be black or sure it was wrong to be black. Would we be castigating the black person, who said stay away from those white people, they're racist, or be upset so many white people were racist? Would that black person be cancelled, as Adams was? Hating people, for being different from you, is wrong. And having more melanin in your skin, doesn't make it right.

You let the rioters come into SW Portland, where they attacked anyone who looked Jewish, yet the police refused to take any report. You've let Chabad twice be set on fire, but put your thumb on the Fire Dept. so they won't issue a report. Put the damned curfew in place, and arrest anyone out past it.

  12156. I love how Jennings acknowledges all of Walker's misdeeds and hypocrisy, by saying "He's not a perfect vessel." Then implies Warnock is the same. How is Warnock a hypocrite? Has he shot a bunch of people, despite being a staunch advocate for sensible gun laws? Has tried to prevent anyone access, to the polls, despite being an advocate for voting rights? About the only things Warnock and Walker have in common is, they are both black, native sons of Georgia. Warnock has not left a trail of unacknowledged children, and abortions, behind him. Not always having sufficient money, to pay child support, for children born in wedlock, is very, very different from knocking up anything that moves, and then not even visiting the resulting offspring. Warnock is neither a hypocrite or a libertine. Walker is both.

Food costs have more than doubled, Osem keeps upping the price of bread and flour. Tnuva keeps upping the cost of milk and yogurt. We can hardly even afford to shop at Victory any more, let alone Mega Hair. The strength of the shekel, which only increased under Netanyahu, has dropped to $0.30. Try and sell those lies, to those who don't have anyone in Israel. This government has only caused more and more inflation, and does nothing to stop terror attacks. I'm hoping the chametz scandal will cause this terrible government to fold. Nobody will ever vote for Yamina again, as the only thing Bennet has done was get 50 million NIS worth of renovation, for his home in Raanana, at taxpayers' expense.

  12161. Tribalism is not confined to the right, and Trump supporters are not real conservatives. There is plenty of tribalism on both sides. As soon as one side demonizes the other, rather than engaging in policy debate, they are being tribal. When liberals call conservatives fascists or racist, just for disagreeing on, for example, border policy, they are acting in a tribal fashion. There has never been a shortage of knee-jerk responses, on the left, what is surprising is how so many on the right now engage in the same tactics.

The data is online. eg. the mRNA vaccines contain mRNA (something you body already makes), cholesterol (ditto), and phospholipids (ditto). They are not grown in eggs, so there is no allergy problem. They don't contain PEG. They are very safe and natural. There is nothing immoral, illegal or unethical in requiring vaccines. In fact, vaccines, that were a lot more problematic, have been required since vaccines existed.

  12178.  @freddieventham3120  An embryo is termed a fetus at 11 weeks, but still has no organized brain, or nervous system. Even neonates (babies) don't feel pain the same way humans do. I used to be a phlebotomist, and noticed, if I did a heel stick, to draw the blood of infants, they didn't even begin to cry until five or ten minutes later. I could stick them, draw the blood up little capillary tubes, bandage them, wrap them back up, and place them gently in their bassinet, and get out the door before they began to cry. And that was several months after they were born. If neonates don't feel pain, like we do, clearly a fetus doesn't.

  12181. The east coast outbreak can mostly be traced to travelers from Europe, but the first outbreak, on the west coast, came from travelers returning from China. Despite Trump's porous travel ban, they were allowed to return from China, and not required to quarantine. Throughout the tech industry, marketing, production, sales people and engineers, traveled from China, and brought the virus to companies they worked at and tech conferences. And, the US was not the first country to institute a partial travel ban, but the 40th country to do so. And those other countries instituted a two week quarantine for returnees.

The rioting is all over, including my city of Portland, and down in LA. It will win nothing for anyone. And the calls to arrest the other officers, who were fired, is a call to rushed justice. Minneapolis waited 4 months to charge an officer who shot a barefoot, innocent woman for no reason. After 2 years he received 12 1/2 years in prison. But, you probably don't care, since the cop was black and the victim white.

Even though most find Trump odious, it is not his vile personality we oppose, but his illiberal and dictatorial ideas. And DeSantis seems to suffer from the same thin skin, where he takes umbrage if anyone thwarts even one piece of his agenda. His new crusade against Disney is a case in point. I really doubt he holds the Constitution is any higher regard, than Trump does. He just isn't as easily distracted, so could produce even more damage. And while Trump seemed driven by enriching himself, like any oligarch, DeSantis seems more into the attainment of power. If he ever got into the Oval Office, even the longest crowbar could not pry him loose.

Whenever he or Trump talk about all the revenue the tariffs have raised, I hear taxes paid by the people who can least afford them.

  12249. I still like SWA. I was screwed over much worse by the late NW Airlines, and was stranded for over 24 hours in the Minneapolis airport, not for bad weather, but because a bridge collapsed. They held our plane in PDX, on the tarmac for 3 hours, so that I missed my connection. They rebooked me on the next flight to Philly, then cleared all the seat assignments, so I had to wait for the next flight, 24 hours later.

  12251. Let's not forget that "progressives" make up only 11% of the the Democratic party, and are only about 4% of the nation. Also, don't forget, if the bernie brats, who twice whined that Democrats preferred a genuine Democratic candidate to an aged, demagogic Marxist, hadn't been such spoiled jerks, and voted for Hillary Clinton, there would be six liberals, and only three 'conservative' on the Supreme Court. When you voted for Trump, or just stayed home, in 2016, you lost any right to complain about the results of a Trump presidency!

  12259. You posted the same BS above. Two thirds of the change from 1880 has occurred since 1975. So half a degree from 1880 to 1975 and a whole degree between 1975 and now. That shows a rapid escalation of the temperature increase. Measurement in 1880, as now, are always taken in the shade. Also, it wasn't like one guy one place who measured the temperature. There were countless reading in many places, and the average was taken. That increase in sample size drastically lowers the deviation. Even by 1880 they had developed extremely accurate thermometers. For pity's sake, the laws of thermodynamics were produced in 1850. Charles Law was developed in 1780. You need decent thermometers to do that work.

  12260. I'm a Democrat, but never would vote a straight Democratic ticket. I weigh my vote carefully and research the candidates. Recently, I've found I cannot vote for any of the candidates on my ballot, so I write in one of my daughters or my son-in-law. The more both parties move to the extremes, the more often I'll have to do that. The problem with this country is too few parties, not too many. What we really need is a third, moderate party, for those disgusted with the fringe takeover of both parties.

  12261. Which countries in the Middle East do you think pose a greater kidnapping risk, than travel to Canada or Belgium? There are more kidnappings in the UK, than in Israel, more in the Barbados than in Morocco. And more kidnappings in Canada or Belgium, than any of the other countries I noted. So, should we have to sign away any help, from the US government, if we travel to Canada? Such a waiver should only be required if traveling to a hostile foreign country, that might be the kidnapper.

I've had google maps tell me to make a turn onto a non-existing road. Rather than drive onto someone else's property, I turned onto an existing road, and let google recalculate the route. To assume that google is infallible is inane. To sue Alphabet for her husband's bad driving is revolting. I would have felt sorry for her loss, if not for her sickening greed. All I feel for her is disgust and revulsion.

Why is it that it is illegal to maintain a searchable database of registered guns? Why is there no national law requiring background checks and waiting periods? As it is now, if you live in a city or state with intelligent gun regulation, you can take a quick trip to a neighboring city or state, that has no requirements.

Learn the history of the country, most of the founding fathers were agnostic, and hated organized religion. They made sure, in the first 10 amendments to the Constitution, that we would never be a christian country and rhat the press could report freely. The Constitution also limited the power of the president, so he is not a boss, but the servant of the people, answerable to Congress and the judiciary. Trump and his supporters must hate the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, as they are constantly trying to undermine them.

  12297. If you stopped and thought about it, you wouldn't make this stupid observation. Usually, while you are walking to your table, you pass other people seated and eating. So, it's a good idea to be masked. Once seated, you aren't near anyone but the servers, as tables are supposed to be space six feet apart. So, then it is relatively safe to be unmasked.

Perhaps this guy makes enough money, and lives in a state with low SALT, so he actually benefitted from the egregious tax cuts. He said that he won't vote for him again, after the Jan 6 insurrection, so is clearly more open minded than you are.

  12332. No, you're the one who has swallowed a line. These women had their lives severely disrupted, and much of that was due to teachers unions, claiming an unsafe work environment during a pandemic. The same unions, that now we have safe vaccines, fight against requiring all teachers to be vaccinated. So, teachers demanded a safe work environment, for themselves, but refuse to give children a safe learning environment. And then, one gubernatorial, kowtowing to the teachers, said parents should have no say in what children are taught. After a year of hell, just to keep teachers safe, that was too much.

But, those who recovered, and then were vaccinated, have the longest lasting, broadest, immunity. And there is absolutely no harm from being vaccinated post Covid-19 infection. Having studied epidemiology, I doubt that any epidemiologist has said what you claim. I suggest you listen to TWiV or some of the videos from the Mayo Clinic. They all strongly recommend those who've had the virus also get vaccinated.

His cult is religious in fervor and faith. It's like talking to a believer, prior to the Enlightenment. You show them the facts, and they just deny them, and claim they are fabricated. There is no reasoning with those people. And, many on our side are just as bad. Show most a video, of a city burning, during the BLM race riots, and they will continue to affirm, that it was a peaceful protest. So, can we condemn his deluded followers, for claiming the Jan. 6 insurrection was just a group of patriots, upset about a stolen election? Until we all get out of our information silos, this country will not agree on facts.

On the Canadian government website it states: "The publicly-funded drug programs generally provide drug plan coverage for those most in need, based on age, income, and medical condition. Many Canadians and their family members have drug coverage linked to employment and some Canadians may have no effective drug coverage and pay the full cost of prescription drugs." Get your facts straight before you make an assertion that something is free, when it isn't.

It used to be possible to survive on a single minimum wage job. But the minimum wage has not kept up with inflation. Also, most employers only give those low wage employees part time hours in order to deny them benefits.

A good number of Israeli pilots, familiar with flying F-15s, F-16s and F-35s, have gone to Ukraine, and volunteered to fight for Ukraine. I'm sure they are experienced fighter pilots, from many other countries, who've volunteered as well. We won't send in US troops, fine. But, give them up-to-date aircraft! There are pilots there, who can fly them.

Trump didn't stop travel from China, he just stopped Chinese from coming in. Lots of Americans came back from China, but there was not quarantine. And we were the 40th country to put in a travel ban, so Trump wasn't even early with his porous, racist ban.

  12462.  @glowormrdr6183  If not for the illegal aliens working on the cheap, US wages would have risen. Historically the minimum wage kept up with the cost of living until the 1980s. Then, as a favor to his rich industrialist buddies, Reagan got rid of the program to impose steep fines on those companies employing illegal aliens. Cheap illegal workers flooded the country, and while costs rose, minimum wage stayed stagnant. There is a clear cause and effect here, wake up and see it.

But, most of the homeless, pitching tents blocking the sidewalk, and taking over public parks and playgrounds, don't want to be housed, because sobriety is required. They make many public spaces too dangerous, for those who pay for them, to be able to use them. Little kids are attacked in parks, and people trying to park their car, or access their own property, are shot. It's not just about human feces and needles, making public places too disgusting, it is about public safety.

Younger Russians have been trickling out of the country since the beginning of the war, Turkey and Israel are full of newly arrived Russians. This mass conscription just turned the trickle to a flood.

Because the threat of another coronavirus epidemic was so obvious, samples were collected from wild bats, so that labs would have a library of virus, in case a new epidemic emerged. These viruses were either stored, or passaged in mice, which does not lead to "gain of function". And, if you look at where the first cases of Covid-19 were located, they were mostly near open air meat markets. The labs were on the other side of a river from the first cases.

If she had made this announcement before last Tuesday, it would have encouraged Republican voters to go to the polls, as a Walker election could have changed the control of the Senate, if she decides to caucus with Republicans. This means that the Senate will be Republicans: 49, Democrats: 48, Independents: 3. The Independents can caucus with either party. If she decides to caucus with Republicans now, it will mean an evenly split Senate, again. If she had announced her switch earlier, and caused Walker to win, then caucused with Republicans, McConnell would be in power again.

If they were not so, impeachment proceedings for Trump would have been underway last year.

Do you think that the Senate, having confirmed Barr with his dubious background, would remove him? If you do, listen to the unctuous praise Cruz piles on Barr. (No honor in that man.) The only answer is the ballot box of 2020.

The polls were constantly wrong about how people vote, they predicted the Democrats would take, not lose seats. Rely on how people vote, which is center-right.

A fetus is not a child, and does not have rights. There is no such thing as an unborn baby, that is the same stupidity as calling a living person an undead corpse. Just like a malignant tumor, a fetus is a mass of human cells, but not a human. How would all these creeps, forcing a woman to risk her life, feel if they were told they could not have their testicular cancer removed? If your religion erroneously states a abortion is murder, then don't have an abortion. I don't have the right to force you to make an intelligent decision. But, my religion is less crazy, and allows abortion. Keep your religious stupidity to yourself. You don't have the right to impose it on saner people.

  12646. After the most brutal and inhumane terrorist attack, in living history, it is both interesting and revolting how some people attempt to justify evil, by deflecting it unto the victims. Right wing racists are honest about their hatred, left wing racists want to pretend they aren't evil, so while they cry over innocent Jews who are murdered, they are infuriated when Jews dare protect themselves. Like the Kurds, we are murdered for wanting a small piece of our native land. Some of the racists lie, and say the Jews really aren't from Judea, despite the literature, historical records, archeological and genetic evidence proving all of Israel, both banks of the Jordan, is Jewish land. Racists lie, and say the falestinians are just protecting their land. But, it was never their land, as their homeland is Arabia. The Arab occupation of Jewish land in Judea, Samaria and Gaza began in 1948, when Arab armies, from surrounding countries, tried to kill the Jewish nation at its rebirth. They raped, tortured, murdered and drove the Jewish people from their homes. Those who started calling themselves Falestinian in the 1960s were invaders, ethnic cleansers who stole the homes and history of the Jewish people. And yet, there are many who blame the Jews, for daring to live in the small portion of their homeland, left after the Brits carved off 70%, to form Jordan for the foreign Arabs. Racists lie, and say that Israel oppresses the occupiers, when the opposite is true. On a near daily basis, an Arab terrorist kills an innocent civilian, or at least attempts killing. And rather than condemn the culture, that produces 14 or 16 year olds who murder innocents, or the PA that pays them for each Jew they murder, these racists condemn Israel for daring to incarcerate murderers. Israeli Arabs enjoy all the same rights and benefits of Jewish citizens, something Jews never experienced in Arab controlled countries, and yet while the Arabs occupiers prevent Jews from living near, or even visiting ancient Jewish shrines, in the areas they rule, racists call Israel apartheid. The IDF tries harder than any other army, to avoid civilian deaths, when they are forced to deal with terrorists, yet racists lie, and claim Israel is purposely killing falestinian children. No, it is the Arab occupiers who blow up restaurants, schools and school busses, who drive cars into children and elderly, waiting at bus stops. And yet, racists deflect the war crimes, committed, against innocent Israelis, unto the victims, and engage in Medieval blood libel. Racists seem to find the continued existence, of a Jewish state, in the Jewish homeland, abhorant. Every single person, who falsely states, "criticism of the Israeli government is not antisemitism" is a racist liar, who spouts blood libel. They are an antisemite, who in their heart believes the problem is we weren't all murdered, yet. racists call Israel apartheid.

And will steal the limelight from superiors, especially if that superior is female. While I admire him for standing up to Trump's efforts to subvert him, I despise him for substituting his judgement for his superior's and going to the press about Clinton. He many not have broken the law, but he did break a long standing rule of behavior. And his explanation of why he did so is more proof of his vanity. I also find it suspicious that he would tar Clinton, but not Trump, by telling of the investigation of Trump's ties to Russians. After reading the book, I doubt he would have outed Clinton if she were not a woman.

He felt the station did not do the viewers right, by allowing lies to be aired, and wanted it all stopped. He actually warned the station, that they could be sued, if they kept putting those lies out there. He felt it his fiduciary duty to warn against spreading something they knew to be false. He did not vote for Trump, in 2020, and doesn't want him to be the nominee in 2024. He actually sounds a lot like Kinzinger, when discussing the big lie.

If Comey had not broken DOJ protocol, and wrongly discussed an investigation into Hillary Clinton, then discussed reopening the case, the again closing the case, she would probably be president. The fact he did so, without mentioning a more serious investigation into Trump, biased the country. It is a good thing that DOJ has learned the error of such a discussion, prior to indictment. From the indictments already made, and the people whose homes have been searched, it is clear that DOJ is working its way up the chain of criminal conspiracy. This is how the convict mob bosses. This is how they will convict Trump, who always behaved like a mob boss.

Maybe, rather than dividing the whole world into the oppressed and the oppressor, we should judge people by what they do? But, no, this liberal concept is contrary to wokeism, that requires everyone to be pigeon holed. And when advocacy for trans people means women lose their hard won rights, that advocacy is evil.

But, before he was allowed to 'donate' in Israel, his genome was examined, and he has no genetic defects. He has a high IQ, and is a professor of mathematics, so he isn't passing along feeble-mindedness. Nevertheless, after his 12th child in Israel, he was banned from donating any more sperm there. He's made a point of disseminating his seed widely, to women of many races and faiths, and all his children know who he is, so it's not like that fertility doctor, who substituted his own sperm. There will be no surprise marriages of siblings. But still, it's disquieting, especially the part where he prefers to naturally inseminate the mother.

In Israel, judges and justice appoint their own replacements, all prosecutors, and judicial 'advisors', who can block any government action they want, needing no reason. Also, if the courts find a law "unreasonable" they can overturn it, and anything right of communism is unreasonable to them.

The whole Mandate, under Ottoman rule had a Jewish majority, but under the British, the Arabs became a majority. They then used that as an excuse to carve off two thirds of the land to form Jordan.

First, mail in voting has been demonstrated to be more secure than voting machines, and much of the insane conspiracy about a stolen election, involved Dominion voting machines, whose use is lessened by allowing more absentee voting. Second, the virus creation conspiracy requires some shadowy group, with access to a BSL-4 lab, to create a variant of a coronavirus found only in wild Chinese bats, with the ability to bind to both human ACE-2 receptors and TMPRSS2 receptors, without the US government discovering it, despite the incredibly strict security around BSL-4 labs, and the specific knowledge-set required to do so.

Also, why are work vehicles only deductible if they weigh at least 3 tons? That's a scam and bad for the environment. Make the write off inversely proportional to the vehicles weight instead.

Today, many Americans actually think January 6 was righteous, just as many think the BLM riots were righteous. We don't know all the facts yet about January 6. Frankly, the behind the scenes machinations, to substitute different slates of electors, are a lot scarier than a bunch of mouth breathers, unable to accept their loss, engaging in another riot.

That is why first world countries have more allergies. But, except for the normal decline that occurs with age, everyone's immune system is just fine. The only difference is, modern medicine keeps us alive long enough for the immune system to age. You'd prefer we all had an average lifespan of 30 again?

On another note, wouldn't it be wiser and more humane, to legalize all drugs, and use the money we normally waste on investigating, arresting, prosecuting, and incarcerating drug users, on programs to help them overcome their addiction? Why didn't we learn our lesson from Prohibition?

And when confronted with what an incredibly corrupt, inept president Trump is, his people also lie and say Clinton is worse. The observable truth is no, she is not as corrupt. She does not lie whenever she speaks. She has not had countless tawdry affairs with tacky people. She would not be destroying our relationships with our allies, whilst sucking up to an enemy. No, Clinton would have been a much better president. Thinking Republicans would not be fleeing from the party. It would have been a normal presidency, with a normal cabinet, not this embarrassing crap show. And to deny that is to deny truth.

In a way, you're lucky, because those who survive an infection, then get vaccinated, get the strongest immunity.

And yet, he still does Trump's bidding. What compromat is Trump holding over his head? Or is he just worried that a few nasty remarks, from Trump, will tank his career? Trump wields his cult, like a club, to beat to death any Republican that dares cross him. Having a working relationship with Trump requires not contradicting the Big Lie. If any Republican, no matter how conservative, dares speak the truth, Trump insults them, and has his goons primary them. Graham was correct in 2015, Trump has ruined the party, and turned it from conservatism to populist thuggery.

Having been laid out when receiving a cholera vaccine, after I'd had cholera, I'll vouch it is no fun. But, those effects are counted with an epi-pen. And, the risk of not being immune is much greater.

  12868.  @McLKeith  No, it is not mitochondrial RNA, it is messenger RNA. (You are probably thinking of mitochondrial DNA. That's different.) During protein synthesis, in a cell, a portion of the DNA unzips, and an mRNA template is made from it. The that mRNA then goes to the endoplasmic reticulum, where tRNA (transfer RNA) brings the appropriate amino acids for each codon, to form an amino acid chain. Then there is a bunch of secondary, tertiary and quaternary folding, to form the protein.

  12869.  @DB-sm6eu  Since a virion (virus outside of a host cell) is not considered alive, it could last quite a while in the freezer; there are no life systems to disrupt. The reason that the mRNA vaccines must be kept very cold, is to keep them from being degraded by the myriad of ribonucleases in our environment. Because the Moderna vaccine is somewhat protected by a liposome coating, it does not require temperatures as low as the Pfizer vaccine does.

  12870.  @Emagick77  Newer Covid tests do use saliva. Cancer is not one disease, there are countless forms of cancers, with countless causes. A cancer caused by a virus, HPV which causes cervical cancer, has a preventative vaccine. Diagnostic tests and treatments for different cancers are constantly being developed. What does that have to do with a vaccine against a specific virus?

  12872.  @Emagick77  Your children did not have childhood illnesses because better parents made sure that their children immunized, which gave us herd immunity. Enough bad parents, like you, gave rise to several measles outbreaks.

  12873.  cervellone  Influenza viruses are different from coronaviruses. The influenza genes are broken into 7 (type C) or 8 (types A and B) subunits. Each subunit codes for a different antigen. During co-infection, two different influenza strains can swap subunits, creating a new strain with a novel set of antigens. That is why so many new flu strains arise each year, and we need to be vaccinated against these new strains. Coronavirus is a single, single stranded, positive-sense RNA virus. It cannot swap around subunits. Yes, there arose a spike protein mutation, on those mink farms, which could have caused problems. That is why all those mink were destroyed, so it would not get into the human population. There has been only one other mutation in the spike proteins in humans, and that has not affected the efficacy of any of the vaccines. If the spike protein were to mutate too much, the virus would no longer be able to attach to the ACE-2 receptor, and enter a host cell.

  12874.  @andrewstevens2658  The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines contain no virus only mRNA for a section of one of the spike proteins. The Oxford/Astrazeneca vaccine uses a modified chimp adenovirus as a vector, not HIV. There was a vaccine developed in Australia, that used a portion of HIV for a vector, nobody is going to receive that vaccine, so don't worry about it. I've also survived cancer, and the chemo used to treat it, which is why I want the vaccine. Chemo causes organ damage that can make one more susceptible to death from Covid.

And if you're a conservative living in California, your vote would finally matter.

We need some politicians who are grounded in reality, who won't pretend the pandemic isn't a thing, don't impose a religious agenda, but can bring down both the crime rate and taxes, and clean up our cities.

  12910.  @Ed_Warrior  Sorry, but when the mRNA vaccines prevent replication in 95% of the people, who are fully immunized with them, how can you "still be contagious with a vaccine and immunity"? And studies have shown that the Pfizer and J&J vaccines are still effective against all strains, and the Moderna moderately effective. You clearly have never taken an immunology or virology course, or looked at any scientific papers. The problem is not that immunized individuals will spread the virus, but without a green passport type program, unvaccinated individuals are allowed in public places. Once we exclude unvaccinated individuals, from public spaces, we will be safe going unmasked.

GND is just too expensive, and it is socialist. In fact it was dreamed up by a socialist as a way of putting one over on us. Far better to really address climate change and have a carbon tax, like Canada does. And a carbon tax bill stands a decent chance of being passed. GND is a loser. We can't afford to lose the chance to save the world.

  12919. Ukraine was indeed splendid, before Putin bombed it to smithereens. But, due to ingrained Russian corruption, a remnant from Soviet control, it was hardly prosperous. Just as in the comedy series, the real Zelensky battled against corruption, and corruption won. Things were changing, just too slowly for the people, and Zelensky's popularity had been waning, before Putin invaded. However, the flip side is, nobody was even trying to weed out corruption, in Russia, and due to officers selling off assets, like gasoline, munitions and even tank parts, on the black market, the Russian army was not nearly as powerful, as it had appeared on paper. I bet one of the reasons, this berated official will not be able to deliver on Putin's demand, is corruption.

  12921. Of course the horrendous deficit is due to the tax cut. It doesn't spur economic growth, since most companies used them for stock buy-backs not hiring. When poorer people have more money they spend, when rich people have more money they stash it off-shore. If you want to stimulate the economy, the best thing is not to see that the rich have even more money, but see that those with the least have a little more. I'm glad that the super wealthy Koch brothers see that tariffs are bad for the economy. Too bad their enormous pocket book blinds them to the fact that the tax cuts are bad.

  12930. If Russia does use a nuclear bomb, in Ukraine, the winds will carry radioactivity into Russia. And, Putin's comparison to the US using nuclear bombs in Japan, is inapt.

  12937. The proximity of the outbreak was to two wet markets. The lab, in Wuhan, was on the other side of the river, from all of the initial cases. Those primary cases all clustered around those wet markets. The reason that the lab existed, in Wuhan, is that there are many bat caves, with wild bat colonies, in that area. The genetics, of the strains of coronavirus, being studied in that lab, could not have evolved into SARS-CoV-2, but several coronavirus strains, isolated by Shi Zhengli, from wild bat colonies, but not grown in the lab, were very similar, and could have easily made the species jump. It is impossible to prove a negative, but factually, it is far more likely the outbreak was due to wet markets, as was the original SARS outbreak. Please note, Mr. Wray is a lawyer, with no training in microbiology at all, and no knowledge of viral genetics. He is not qualified to make any pronouncements about the origins of the pandemic. Nor are evolutionary biologists, who study such large, slowly mutating eukaryotes. Viral genetics are much different, from the genetics of living organisms.

If he had gone into a graceful retirement, like most former presidents, nobody would still be talking about him. Instead he holds court at Maralardo, and eviscerates any Republican who dares speak the truth. Solid conservatives are being primaried by shady sex offenders, and winning. A Republican's voting record mean nothing, just whether they support Trump's lies. Look at what has happened to Liz Cheney. Look at Gonzales and Kitzinger, realizing they've no chance of reelection. Trump remains a clear and present danger to democracy.

  13014. john jeffries You were not paying attention. 1. The Steele dossier was started by a conservative group, not the DNC. 2. Investigations were not begun, nor were warrants issued, because of that dossier, but because an Australian was informed about the collusion with Russia by a drunk Papadopoulos, and he passed the information on to the US. Carter Page was being watched even before he worked for Trump because of his shady dealings with FSU states. 3. Trump did intend to fire Mueller as soon as the investigation started, but was warned that to do so would guarantee impeachment. McGahn then threatened to quit if, which caused Trump to back off. You have no right to chastise another for lack of comprehension when it is clearly not your forte. Of course, if you are just another Russian troll, you are just doing your job to sow disinformation.

Fortunately, the brain fog, due to white matter deterioration, seems to be prevented by vaccination. And, the earlier variants, like the original Wuhan through Delta, appear to have caused more long Covid than Omicron and its variants. But, that might be due to vaccination, and less time to study the long term results of infection. This really isn't the channel for academic studies. I suggest you try the Vincent Racaniello channel, especially the clinical updates with Dr. Daniel Griffin.

Since it has been shown young men actually take much longer to mature, perhaps it should be 30 for males. And while some people begin cognitive decline in their 40s, some are still much sharper than you clearly are at 80. If their constituents want to keep senators in office, in what you consider their dotage, they should have the right to. Since SCOTUS is not reconfirmed by voters, I could agree with term limits, but who are you to say who people are allowed to vote for. Senators are supposed to cooperate with each other, friendships form over time, those friendships are valuable in getting legislature passed.

  13074. If the Ukrainians assassinated a person, who had been actively promoting this invasion of their land, so what? Russia reaches out and kills people, living in other countries, all the time. If a Russian speaks up, against Putin's regime, they have to be carefully guarded, against Putin's assassins. This is one way they try to silence criticism. They let everyone know their long arm can reach you, wherever you run to. Skripal and Navalny survived the attempts to poison them, but many other of Putin's assassins were more successful. It's funny how lately, a lot of Putin's critics have fallen out of windows, or been shot to death with their families. It's about time a Putin supporter met the same fate. The news is reporting Putin has survived three assassination attempts. Here's hoping the next one succeeds.

Voting rights won't stop Trump from taking power again. That will take the reform of the Electoral Count Act. Why is everyone focusing on the wrong thing? First reform the Electoral Count Act, so only the will of the people, not the legislature, selects the president.

  13125. As a person, who knows there are still some sane Republicans left, and hope they can purge their party of the lunatics, I find calling the whole party names counterproductive. Disparage the kooks, but realize that people like Romney, Flake, Cheney and Kitzinger are decent people, despite having different political goals. It isn't as if the Democratic party doesn't have its own lunatics. Sure, the 'progressives' only make up 11% of the party, but they are just as delusional as the Republicans, who claim Biden didn't win. Either a new, centrist party arises, so the majority of voters, who no longer want to be part of either party, have a party they don't despise, or the two current main parties will have to restore their own sanity, by purging the lunatic fringe. Eventually, sane people are going to have to learn to get along again, and name calling doesn't aid that endeavor.

China knew the version they released here, is bad for children and teens. Their motives are nefarious. Banning Tiktok is a very good idea. And then all social media needs to be restrained. We need laws protecting our data, like the EU has.

  13133. Do you seriously think only Republican politicians lie? It's not like no Democrat ever lied, cheated, enriched himself, or voted against the interests of his constituents. Stop the reflexive bashing of the opposition.

  13141. He never mentions the main culprit in climate change, too many people. All the things that drive climate change are less, if there are less people needed food and manufactured goods, and transportation. People always point a finger at developed nations, yet they are the ones that have gotten their populations under control, where a family has 2 or fewer children. It is in the countries that have increasing populations, where deforestation is occurring. And the more mouths to be fed, the more carbon is produced. In 1920, the world population was 1.9 billion, now it is 7.9 billion. That is six billion more mouths eating food, the production of which emits carbon, and requires more land cut out of forests. Unless the overpopulation crisis is address, climate change cannot be.

  13142. What it says is Canada has never had race riots. You've had riots where the whites attacked others, basically pogroms, the last one being in 1918, but never riots where one minority decided to burn and loot as much of a city as they could, often ruining the homes and businesses of other minorities, as well as their own. But, these have occurred periodically, in the US, since the beginning of the 20th century. This young man would not have been armed, if such a riot had not been occurring, and if the powers-that-be hadn't decided to just let the city burn. It really doesn't speak of the values of the whole country, but a certain violent subsegment, who think might makes right, and are willing to set their own people back.

  13147. When I was getting a BA in microbiology from UCLA, over half the students in my virology, hematology, immunology, mycology, and epidemiology classes were medical students. Since they had very arduous studies, they could opt to take these classes pass/fail. Some were planning on going into research or specializing in infectious disease. They paid close attention and asked good questions. But, those planning on going into surgery, or other specialties, where infection wasn't so important, did the bare minimum. I bet this woman was one of the latter. Otherwise, she is just evil, willing to say anything for money, even if it cost others their lives.

Trump failed because our military stayed true to their oath to the Constitution. All Trump had was a pathetic band of mouth breathers. It is more akin to the yellow vest rioters than tried, and failed, to unseat Macron.

And for those who think it is unfair, that an 18 year old could not own a gun, without any supervision, but can serve in the military, the military is the very "well regulated militia" that the second amendment says must be armed.

But, Russia has threated Israel, if she sends obvious military help, and since Russia controls Syrian airspace, that threat is genuine. Russia has also threatened the many Jews, living in Russia, and forced out the Jewish Agency helping them. Israel has also taken in more Ukrainian refugees, per capita, than any nation. If you look in Wikipedia, Israel is the only middle eastern nation, to send any military aid at all. As to Germany, who knows, there is no real Russian threat against them.

  13262.  @markplows2198  How could biogas be carbon neutral? You are burning a hydrocarbon, releasing the carbon into the atmosphere. And if you ever were stuck at a stop light, behind a bus burning biogas, you wouldn't be a fan. It reeks. Solar and wind are intermittent, so you'd need storage capacity we lack. It's funny how nobody mentions nuclear power. Modern nuclear power is clean and safe. People always point to accidents, but in all of the three incidents that ever happened, with outdated powerplants, fewer people died, than die every week due to global warming and air pollution.

  13265. But, Trump is not running for Congress, so that is not applicable. Impeachment, and Senate removal, should have made him ineligible to run for president again, but McConnell screwed himself and the country, by being against removal. Frankly, I just don't understand his thinking. Trump had already lost, and despite nominating judges and justices, that McConnell loved, his utility was over, and he was nothing but a millstone. Unless Trump had some dirt, on McConnell or his wife, removing and barring Trump, was in McConnell's best interests. If he had done so, Trump could not have pushed GOP dogs in primaries, and the Republicans would have retaken the Senate, restoring McConnell to leader of that body.

  13266. Cool, and how will this work out, in a pink state like Arizona? Sinema only won because she wasn't party line toeing Democrat. So, she runs as Independent, the Republicans put up a candidate, and Gallego is the Democratic candidate. Most Arizonians are centrist Independents, and will vote for Sinema. If the Republican is any good, they'll get all the R vote, and some I vote. Even if Gallego gets the vote of the miniscule number of Arizona Democrats, he cannot win the general. So it will either be Sinema or the Republican who wins.

He also neglected to tell the whole truth about what is happening in Portland. It has not been mostly peaceful, it has been mostly destructive. There are people that flood into our city for any reason. They camp out in the public parks, so the actual citizens of the city dare not use them. They rove the nearby neighborhoods, stealing and vandalizing homes, and throwing fireworks at people trying to just go about their lives. Sure, there are some misguided locals, who have joined in. But, most of the people destroying our city are outsiders, who treat this like Burning Man, and don't give a damn about the local people.

They are offering to help countries in the Arabian peninsula, fight against Iranian backed militias, if those countries side with Russia, rather than NATO. At the same time, it aids Syria and Iranian backed militias, fight against the native Sunni and Kurdish population. Turkey stays in NATO, but also buys systems from Russia, and sides with them in Syria. It feels like the world has reverted to Soviet days, with US vs USSR power plays, and no clear idea who is on our side.

  13285. Other countries don't piss away massive amounts of money on sports. My children went to a high school, built in 1869. The structure is crumbling, and really needs renovation to make it safe. Yet, when the PTO was raising money, it wasn't to repair the school, but renovate the 'football' field. Universities, in other countries, don't serve as farm teams for professional sports. When I went to UCLA, in the late 1970's, we really needed better computer labs and a molecular biology building. Yet, money raised went for a fancier basketball stadium. If schools stopped wasting money on competitive sports, and spent the money on academics, there would be enough.

Which would make their parents around 90 years old or older. He bitches that working with the Koreans and Japanese "costs us a lot of money" when those countries foot most of the bill. He claims that separating illegal alien parents from their children is due to the Democrats, when it is a new method Jeff Sessions came up with. He sympathizes with criminals.

  13313.  @aurora_occidentalis2248  Sure there were daily briefings, and when Trump saw how large the viewing audience was, he jumped in on them. But ramp up of PPE production, absolutely not. A medical supplies manufacturer contacted the government, early in the pandemic, and said he could bring two mask and gown assembly lines back into production, but needed a commitment from the government to purchase what he produced. He never got it. States were forced to find sources of PPE on their own, and had to bid against each other and FEMA. Healthcare workers had to rely on handmade masks from good hearted citizens, and wear garbage bags as gowns. Hospital ships were deployed, but as they were not allowed to take Covid patients, did no good. The stupidly named Operation Warp Speed did nothing to speed up vaccine development, it was merely a talking point. And, Trump did absolutely nothing to ensure that shots got into arms. He did belittle the use of masks, and then later vaccines, even though he got the vaccine as soon as it was available. Biden had the army assist in mass vaccination centers, where many of us got our first vaccines. He actually got those who wanted to be vaccinated, vaccinated. Pity that Trump only recently has encouraged vaccination. And let's not forget how his mad desire to downplay the pandemic meant, while the rest of the world was able to test, and take intelligent precautions, the US was flying blind.

The hard part was developing the right ionizable lipid coating, to protect them from nucleases. And the thing about "flu technology" is it relies on a committee making the correct educated guess about which strains will be the biggest problem in the coming year. Sometimes they guess wrong. We know what coronavirus strain is the biggest problem now. That is a certainty.

  13346. "Potential crimes" are not necessarily convictable, in a court of law, rather than the court of public opinion. When Trump is finally charged with some of his crimes, the evidence had better be airtight. We all know Trump has accepted $250 million, in donations, for legal defense. So far, he hasn't spent it on a single insurrectionist, but you know he'll spend it to defend himself. We've all seen a team of expensive lawyers get obviously guilty men acquitted, or given the most trivial of sentences. (Simpson, Epstein) Garland has stated nobody, and that includes Trump, is above the law. But, the law had best be backed up by irrefutable evidence before it indicts. We've seen lower level coup plotters charged. We've seen high level coup plotters have their homes and offices searched. DOJ is clearly on the case. Cupp needs to stop pretending not discussing investigations, is the same as not investigating. Wittes is brilliant, as usual, in his presentation. But then, he is a real lawyer, unlike Cupp, and knows the subject matter.

We'd become like Israel, where unelected, self-appointing judges not only overrule laws, based upon feelings, but can block any government action, because the don't feel it is OK. We have a constitution, and no law, regulation or approval, should be overturned, unless it is unconstitutional.

  13370. Both parties gerrymander. Look at Illinois or California, and you'll see Democratic gerrymandering. And, while I dream of not having an electoral college, it is unrealistic to think such an amendment could ever be ratified. So, instead, Democrats need to stop pushing wildly unpopular agendas, lying and saying they are popular, and thinking their problem is messaging. Right now the three biggest concerns are crime, inflation and the pandemic. Biden has been pretty good at the pandemic, but many Democratic states have been making matters worse, by throwing race into the mix. He needs to bring them into line, and let them know all citizens lives are equally important. Crime needs to be addressed, and criminals need to be imprisoned for their crimes, not let free without bail. The race of the criminal should not matter. Justice should be blind, and no allowance should be made for being a minority. And third, the fed needs to raise the prime lending rate, to bring inflation into line. No inflationary bill should even be considered until that is done.

Remember, Mueller demonstrated that Trump's election team, and the Russians, were in communication, exchanging data, and the Russians provided support, yet the right still refers to this as a "Russian hoax". It doesn't matter if you prove Trump's people are talking to the enemy, or assisting the rioters, they will pretend it didn't happen, and gaslight you when you bring it up.

As to drug effectiveness, I assume you aren't talking about the Pfizer vaccine, as that is not a drug. And Pfizer's protease inhibitor decreases the need for hospitalization by 89%. I call that effective.

  13392. A lot of people are writing there is a problem with document control, that the documents Biden inadvertently walked off with should have been noticed missing much sooner. In Trump's case, the new administration realized many important documents were missing, and requested their return almost as soon as Trump scurried off to Florida. It just took a year and a half to realize he wouldn't comply. What was wrong with the administration, that replaced Obama/Biden, that they never requested the documents be returned?

Next time, before you opine, look at people's congressional voting record.

  13402. Trump's utter hypocrisy makes sense, when you realize Trump thought he was elected king. In an absolute monarchy or autocracy, the king is the state, and any "betrayal" of him is treason. By telling the truth, Comey and Bolton "betrayed" information Trump wanted kept secret. It wasn't classified material, but it damaged Trump somewhat. But, truly classified material, information that could actually hurt the country, is a different matter. As absolute ruler, it all belonged to him, and he could do with it what he wanted. He is a delusional and dangerous man, and must never be allowed to hold the reins of government again.

  13417.  @PursuingJesuswithChristy  The whole idea of using antiparasiticals against Covid is based upon in vivo studies in monkey kidney cells. Kidney cells lack the receptor site utilized by the virus to invade respiratory epithelial cells, so those in vivo studies are flawed. Studies using epithelial cells, and all clinical studies, show ivermectin has no effect on coronavirus infection.

  13426. A wall can't work. First, the border is too large. Second, much of it is either in the Rio Grande or in mountainous terrain, where a wall can't be built. Better to change the laws, so that we identify all countries where genocide is occurring, and anyone from somewhere else is instantly denied asylum and deported. Also return to levying hefty fines on any person or company that employs illegal workers. Some of those illegals are Canadians, and a southern wall won't stop them.

Another mother and I had brought our daughters to the park, and her daughter just fell off the the monkey bars. She only dropped a foot, but landed so badly she broke her leg. It was weird. I'd seen my daughters jump from much higher heights, and land completely unharmed numerous times. (Perhaps it was because this girl was quite obese.) Since this was the second time this child had broken bones, in a couple of months, I had to sign an affidavit that nobody had struck or pushed the child. Otherwise CPS was going to foster the kid. Frankly, if I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't have believed it either.

Interestingly enough, the protein that allows the placenta to invade the uterine wall, was acquired from viruses. Mammals that lack the DNA, for this viral protein, can't form a placenta, and are marsupials or monotremes.

  13517. @Hambubger Wiles Stop accusing the majority of genuine liberals, the ones who want rights for everyone, for the inanities of the woke. Most of us defined a woman as an adult, with natural female secondary sexual characteristics. Obviously, a man, even one surgically altered to appear more like a female, doesn't have a uterus, and cannot get pregnant. Draconic anti-abortion laws only affect women and girls who menstruate.

  13519. So, why exactly, are we not allowing Ukraine, to attack targets in Russia proper? The west arms Ukraine with weapons meant for defensive use only, and wags its collective finger at the Ukrainians, "Don't you dare attack any Russian cities". The US should have learned, from its failures in Korea and Vietnam, you cannot win a limited war. Russia is now attacking the Ukrainian capitol city. Why should Russia continue to be be immune, to the devastation, of the war they started?

  13522. We know that Russia invaded Ukraine, in 2014, after they tossed out the Russian installed puppet, Yanukovych. We know that they then pretended Russians were Ukrainian citizens of the Donbas and Crimea, and held a bogus referendum, where only Russian speakers could vote. We know that after the US voted out our own Russian installed puppet, the people of Belarus rose up, after the people voted for the wife of an imprisoned opposition leader, but the dictator stayed in power. (Much like Trump tried to do.) We know that Putin sent the Russian army to put down the Belarusian people. We know that the next year (this one) Russia furthered its invasion of Ukraine, intending to take the entire country, and was repulsed by brave Ukrainians. We know that Russia used all sorts of lame excuses for their violation of the Budapest agreement. They claimed they were threatened by nations joining a defensive pact. They claimed the Ukrainians, who had elected a Jewish president, were all Nazis. We heard that Russia was just liberating those Russians they had installed in Ukraine in 2014. All the Russian claims were lies, and the Russian army committed numerous war crimes. So now, Putin is claiming the atrocities his army committed, were really done by his victims.

  13536. Since I don't trust non-scientists to understand scientific studies, I looked for the paper, which was published in Nature. First, they saw a linkage between erythritol consumption and cardiac events, but did not demonstrate causality, just correlation. It would not be surprising if those who are overweight, both had more heart attacks, and tried to remedy that through use of non-nutrative sweeteners. There was some evidence, that higher erythritol blood levels also correlated to higher platelet activity. But, once again, it was just correlation, not proof of causation, and the sample size of that study was only eight individuals.

  13558. I don't understand why everyone is so upset about a possible pardon. Since the DA illegally withheld exculpatory evidence, this case would never withstand appeal. Why isn't this channel interviewing the family of the real victim, the man who was found guilty for merely protecting himself? Of course many of us were also victims, as we were held hostage by violent rioters, and our cities ruined. Protest is a right, but the minute one window gets broken, one pair of shoes stolen, or a street is blocked, it ceases to be peaceful protest. And in these violent race riots, not only were businesses destroyed and people killed, but every synagogue was vandalized, and some burned down. Rioters should be arrested, no matter what they cause is. And no cause, that burns down synagogues, is just. That's Nazi behavior. This rioter's family should ask themselves where they went wrong, that they would raise a horrible person, who would riot and threaten innocent people with a gun.

  13563. Trump doesn't really want to stop the problem of illegal aliens. His hotels hire them. If he really did, he'd push legislation to punish those who hire them, not a useless wall. Much of the border is the Rio Grande. You can't build wall in a river, so the wall ends up bisecting private land. That wall disrupts the lives of those whose land is bisected, and the migration of endangered species. In those areas with a physical border, smugglers just tunnel under it, or they smuggle people and drugs in secret compartments of vehicles. A wall doesn't stop them. Additionally, half of the people here illegally, just came legally, but overstayed their visa. A wall won't stop them either. People come here illegally to work. Prevent them from working, they won't come. Enact laws that severely fine any employer who hires an undocumented worker, be it cleaner, nanny, gardener, meat processing plant worker, sweat shop worker, or construction worker. Provide every citizen with a SS photo id, just like a green card. Not only will that make it easier for employers to vet employees, but this will stop the constant suppression of minority voters.

  13574. First many illegal guns in our cities come from outside the city or state, often through straw purchases. Banning straw purchases would not disarm law abiding citizens, but prevent those who should not have a gun, from having one. Second, since many states do not have universal background checks, for all weapons, such checks should be mandated federally, for all purchases. Once again, that will not take guns away from good citizens.

Would they say, that despite the danger from that white mob, he should not have protected himself, should not have been armed? Was Rittenhouse an idiot, for going into that riotous mob? Yes. But the men he killed were hardly model citizens, and if he'd been a young black man, attacked by the KKK, he would not have been charged. Even a white idiot has rights.

People, who already had immunity to the original strain, are becoming sick and dying from it. I cannot find results of in vitro tests against the Manaus variant, which makes me think that they are not good. Brazil needs to vaccinate its people specifically against this new strain. If not, the world needs to put the entire country in quarantine.

  13661. Do you realize that the people at our border are not Mexican? Or do you just lump all Hispanics together? A more intelligent solution to the problem is not taking over a foreign country or trying to police them. If we stopped treating drug addiction as a criminal problem, and started treating it like an illness we would have more success. All my life, I've watched the "war on drugs" ramp up. It has resulted in the DEA messing up other countries and more people (mostly minority) thrown in prison. And our problems with addiction only get worse. Portugal and other countries have had good results from legalization and treatment. We should try the same.

This caused the price of bread (wheat) to rise to the point the Syrian population began to starve. They begged Assad for help, and then protested the lack of aid. Assad's response was to start killing the Sunnis (as he is Shiite). Thus, the crisis was the result of the industrial revolution pumping carbon into the atmosphere, and the Shiite vs. Sunni rift that has existed since the death of Mohammed. The causes of this conflict predate the USA.

  13674. Justin Clary, Have you seen the wall on the Israeli southern border? It sits in a flat desert. It does not have to contend with rivers or mountains. It is also much shorter than our US border. You are right that we should control who comes into this country in order to maintain sovereignty. But the wall will not address the bulk of the problem. We had no problem when those who hired illegal aliens were stiffly fines. Reagan got rid of that sensible practice. We should return to it. Rather than cost taxpayers money, it will bring in revenue, and it worked in the past.

  13675. Gee, if Trump had raised the national gas tax and used the extra revenue to repair the transport infrastructure, we would not only have better roads and bridges, but the gas efficient cars manufactured, in those plants GM is closing, would have sold better. Keeping Obama era emission standards would have also helped those smaller sedans to sell. Instead he put tariffs on steel, which made the cars more expensive to build. Plus, retaliation tariffs make the cars harder to sell abroad.

  13699.  @generalali7609  Apartheid fits the definition of what the arabs do. It is when the occupiers, from another region, prevent the native people the right to live certain places, and curtail their rights. That is exactly what the arabs have done. Meanwhile, Israel give full rights to any arab, who isn't trying to actively murder the native people, even if those arabs live on land they stole.

Is it just, that even after the Jordanian army was driven out, the occupying arabs were allowed to remain in homes they had stolen? No. It is unjust. And that injustice is further compounded, with the fact these squatters, use the land they stole, as a base to continue to attack the indigenous people. If you really cared about justice, you'd be lobbying for the arabs to return what they had stolen, not abusing and lying about their victims.

In fact, with Omicron, death counts more than quadrupled. The only reason things are a little better, is due to vaccination. But, too many fools refuse to be protected, so many will continue to be disabled or die.

  13761. Do you understand that the reason Covid-19 was impossible to control, using normal public health measures, is it is spread by pre-symptomatic individuals? With most infectious diseases, the infected feels symptoms, or sees signs of the disease, by the time they are infectious. That makes isolation of the ill easier. But, with Covid-19, people were merrily spreading the virus, long before the first symptom. Monkeypox has rather obvious pustules, as well as fever and rash. You know you are sick by the time you're infectious. Monkeypox is seldom fatal, does not cause disability, is prevented by smallpox vaccination, and can be treated with antivirals.

  13766. I'm amazed to find that you do not consider Jews to be white. But, I guess that's just the racist in you coming out. Klebold's mother said he was 1/4 or 1/8 Jewish. And he certainly wasn't raised as a Jew. The idea that Loughner was Jewish was created by racists like David Duke and has been discredited. Her maiden name (Tottman) and her mother's maiden name are both Irish, not Jewish, names. I really doubt that anyone whose favorite book is Mein Kampf would be considered a devotee of Judaism. So your racist screed can be ignored as it is a lie.

Taiwan relies on US invented technology, and has to lease the patent from the US. It doesn't matter how well educated their workers are. It takes a lot water and power, to produce Si wafers and chips, and there can be a good deal of pollution resulting. The reason a lot of chip production moved to China is they have a lot of cheap, unskilled workers, and don't worry about pollution.

Pointing at a place with sensible gun control, where an atrocity has been committed with a gun purchased elsewhere, is completely disingenuous. We need strong national gun control and background checks. And, we need a searchable database of guns, and the CDC must be allowed to compile gun damage statistics.

Even though the Arabs have a thousand times as much land, they still act as if those few Arabs descendants are refugees, and refuse to let them work and integrate into society. Meanwhile, the Jewish refugees, and their children and grandchildren, are just Israelis, indistinguishable from the Jews that always lived there. If the Arabs, who falsely claim to be Palestinian, are mistreated, it is by other Arabs, not Jews.

It was the injustice of the Electoral College that foisted Trump (and Bush II) upon us. Even with the undemocratic way we select our president, if those who chose not to vote, because of Russian disinformation, had voted, or if minority voters had not been disenfranchised in NC, PA, WI, SC, MD and FL, we would have had our first female president.

  13827. During 2015 and 2016, Maher was warning people that Trump might win, that we all had to vote to prevent that. The talking heads in the pundit class pooh-poohed him, saying a clown like Trump couldn't win. Yet, to their surprise, he won. In 2019 and 2020, Maher warned that Trump would do anything, without regard to legality or constitutionality, to hold onto power. The talking heads in the pundit class pooh-poohed him. Yet, Trump refused to concede his loss, did everything he could to change the results, tried to get Pence to refuse to certify Biden's election, and is still pressuring official to give him the win. The pundits are still aghast at stop-the-steal movement and the resulting insurrection, as well as Trump's actions. Now, Maher is warning that Republicans have changed the way elections are done, enough to throw the 2024 election to Trump, who will run again. And, once again, the talking heads in the pundit class are pooh-poohing him. Some people never learn.

  13828.  @dino9395  If you live in a society, you have to follow the rules. Some rules are written, some unwritten. When enough people don't follow the unwritten rules, that it becomes a problem, they get legislated, and you're forced to obey them. An example, prior to antibiotics, TB was a big problem, and there was an unwritten rule that you did not spit on the street. When enough people did so, risking the health of the community, an anti-spitting law was passed in many communities, and not spitting on the street was enforced. We are in another public health emergency, and the unwritten rule was all who could get vaccinated, would get vaccinated. There are enough selfish cretins, who continue to risk the lives of others, by being unvaccinated, that requiring vaccination is slowly becoming the rule. If they had been responsible citizens, and gotten vaccinated voluntarily, it wouldn't need to be a written rule.

  13838. The nominee that fits the ideas of the majority of the party is democratic, not the one that gets the most votes. If the majority of voters choose a moderate candidate, the nominee must be a moderate. Using a plurality vote thwarts the will of party members. Frankly, I think the DNC is wrong to let independents vote on their ticket. And, in order to run in the Democratic presidential primary, a person should have won at least one office as a Democrat. Letting non-Democrats run in, or vote on, this race is the cause of all the disunity and discord.

  13839. For all you who say racism is what the Republican party has always been about, you're wrong. I remember a time, when all white southern bigots were staunch Democrats, Dixicrats, and black people (although it was rude to refer to them that way) mostly voted for the party of Lincoln. When Richard Nixon was VP, he was a good friend of Dr. King, but could not convince Eisenhower to push forward civil rights. So instead, that fell to a southern Democrat, LBJ, a well known bigot, who pushed forward civil rights for purely political reasons. He knew, if he did so, he could secure the black vote for Democrats. Even after that event had the results LBJ foresaw, the Republican party tried to suppress the racists, who donned the cloak of religious piety, from taking over the party. Buckley and Goldwater fought against the John Birch society, and kept them from gaining power in their party. They were not pleased with Reagan, who also was a bigot, due to the influence of his second wife. (Her father was a prominent member of the John Birchers.) Now that they, and good decent men like McCain, are gone, their party has slipped into the abyss of bigotry and religious intolerance.

  13887. Considering Russia's unprovoked attack on Ukraine, and the atrocities Russian troops have committed, this American would not shed a single tear, if Ukraine launched a few missiles into Russia proper. Why should all the pain and suffering be experienced by Ukrainian civilians? We had no qualms about bombing Germany, after it began an unprovoked war of aggression, bombing Dresden into smithereens. Giving Russia a taste of their own medicine is fine with me. Who else feels the same?

Maybe Republicans impeached Clinton because they hated him, or were jealous, but Trump is being impeach for a small sample of his criminal behavior. He cheated to win, and is cheating to win again.

  13901. Untrue. While about half the population thought Bush II was a fool, he wasn't despised. While a small minority people hated Clinton, that was more because he seemed impossible to defeat. Prior to Trump, the last president who was despised, by over half the country, was Carter. If fact, this strong antipathy, to the those not in one's own party, for partisan reasons, is a very recent development.

  13902. Kavanaugh perjured himself when he said the people asked about the allegation said it didn't happen. What they said (and not under oath) was they did not remember. The deposition of Mark Judge did not occur, instead his lawyers sent a letter which would not result in perjury if wrong. That lifelong friend says she wan't in the room, but believes Ford. Many of the people who knew Kavanaugh in those days say that he was a belligerent, aggressive drunk who blacked out. There have been too many questions about his character raised to confirm him without further impartial investigation.

  13908. I assume Barnette's tweet, is based on Mohammed taking a little nine year old child as one of his wives. Or, it might be based on the continuing practice of selling young girls, as additional wives, to old men, in Muslim countries. But, Islam is not the only religion that forces little girls into the marriage bed. Look at the original principles of LDS. Fundamentalist Mormons still take multiple wives, many just girls. Child marriages are common throughout the south. In Pennsylvania, a girl as young as 15 can marry with parental consent. If she really is against children being forced into marriage, she could promise to bring legislation, to prevent girls younger than 18 marrying, regardless of parental consent.

  13909. This is what happens when you don't have free and fair elections. I just listened to a Kazakh journalist who said the government figures for how many voted, and who they voted for, are wrong. The government said 80% voted, outside observers said it was less than 30%. The government said 60% of votes went to them, observers said it was more like 20%. That is why the Big Lie is so dangerous. If people don't believe they can exercise their right to vote, this is what happens.

Part of Reagan's undoing of the New Deal was to close all public mental health clinics. If we can't discuss intelligent background checks, like they have in Canada, can we at least discuss federal funding for free mental health clinics. Currently, the people who need a mental health care the most, can least afford it.

So, if you're young and healthy, great, but you should still get vaccinated.

Also, when the Supreme Court decided that the second amendment referred to individuals, the number and lethality of weapons on the street grew. And police departments responded with body armor and military tactics. Put in place intelligent gun control, and end drug prohibition, and the problem will resolve.

Remember his insane claim that he only lost the popular vote because millions of illegals voted in California? Fear of Trump claiming he was cheated is not reason to avoid vote by mail. Study after study has shown how easily voting machines can be hacked, and how only an easily read paper ballot can be audited. A mail in ballot leaves that needed paper trail, so is more secure than voting machines. Not only is mail in voting safer in the time of an epidemic, but it allows everyone to vote, without taking time off of work. It prevents voter suppression, which occurs when polling places in minority neighborhoods are closed, which is the real reason Republicans are against it.

  14011. I don't why Zakaria thinks the newer variants are more transmissible and less lethal, as they have been neither. Omicron, BA.2, and the rest of that lineage, aren't more transmissible, they are more immune evasive, which are two different things. And if you look at the hospitalizations and deaths of unvaccinated people, they appear slightly more lethal. The difference is that many more hosts have immune memory, mostly because of vaccination, so even if infected, do not become as ill. Also, when looking at death rates, you have to remember, previous variants have already killed the most vulnerable, so only the fitter hosts are left. I do wish people, without a degree in a field of microbiology, would stop opining about something, they are not equipped to understand.

Sure, as prices of what companies buy go up, and they had to raise employee wages, they raised the price of what they sell, as everyone predicted. But, the real cause of inflation is all the extra money in the system, pumped in by the government, and the low lending rate. Raise interest on borrowed money, and inflation will ease.

Three US children die each day, from Covid-19. Most were perfectly healthy before infection, and of a normal weight. Three children, lost each day, may seem a small number to you, but not to their parents.

I loved taking the tram to the Sandia mountains, and visiting my grandfather's friends on the rez. (A charming old Navaho man told me that my grandfather spoke the best Navaho of any white man, but with a strong German accent.) There is a lot of beauty in New Mexico. The culture of the native people, Hopi, Navaho and Pueblo, is uplifting. But, like any state with a lot of empty land, nut cases come to be out of others' view. We have had a good number of these weird compounds here in Oregon. They have them in Utah and Montana as well.

Pappas ran unopposed, which shows less Republican interest. She will probably win the seat.

  14150.  @ericbarros1818  It was obviously a decision based upon religion. Notice that every single justice, who voted to strip away a woman's right to control her own uterus, was a victim of Jesuit indoctrination from grade school through college. This is an imposition of Catholic dogma, on every woman in the country, regardless of her religion, which is supposed to be prevented by the First Amendment. Since parents can evade vaccination requirements, by citing religious objection, women should be able to have a religious objection against any restriction on abortion.

  14151.  @Tony-723  The bible also commands husbands to give their wife an aborticide, if he suspects she is pregnant with a child not of his making.

His motive is as obvious as the guy who opened fire on people in that Tops market in Buffalo, racism, just with a different target group.

One woman was seriously burned, when rioters threw fireworks at her because she was an observant Jew, and the cops wouldn't even take a report.

  14236. The physicians answer was rather vague, so I looked this monoclonal up. It is anti-PD-1. PD-1 (programmed death) receptors, are found on T cells, and when activated, prevents the T cell sending tumor cells the signal to self destruct. Many tumor cells overexpress these ligands, that bind to these receptors, and turn off the T cell activity, that would kill the tumor cells. By removing these ligands, through anti-PD-1 antibodies, the T cells can kill the tumor cells. As breast cancer, gastric cancer, glioblastoma multiforme, NSCLC, and some hematologic malignancies, all produce these PD-1 ligands, this new MAb might work to treat them all. As a breast cancer survivor, who endured chemotherapy, I wish this MAb had been around ten years ago. It would have been a preferable treatment.

  14237. The Republicans kept telling us how they would make Trump Speaker, that one needs not be a House member to be Speaker.

Sure, the bat sh1t crazies, in both parties, would never go along with this. But, there have to be enough patriotic House members, of both parties, impressed with Cheney's patriotism, to do this.

There have been multiple parties in the past.

That past would support the premise that a three party system is more durable than a four party one.

  14289. There is even more footage of violence, perpetrated by these thugs, against innocents. France needs to properly punish the murders they commit. But, no, they bend over backwards to go soft of them, because they are afraid of the violent riots that arise. Look at the case of the Holocaust victim, murdered by one of these thugs, who threw off of her balcony, after invading her home, and torturing her for hours. He got off because he'd been smoking cannabis prior to the attack.

  14290. The only papers on Covid-19, that I've read, where the methods and materials were garbage were the ones pushing hydorychloroquine or herd immunity. I had med students in my epidemiology, virology and immunology classes, and was not impressed by their understanding of the subjects. The ones who were going to go into internal medicine paid attention, but the future surgeons, radiologists, etc. didn't really care. I doubt this guy has expertise in public health, it is not related to radiology. Vaccines are administered to develop herd immunity without the deaths that would occur if people actually had to suffer the disease to develop immunity . Also, the reason the healthdata.org model was changed was, the original models assumed proper public health measures would be observed, and they were not. When adjusted for American stupidity, they were spot on.

  14312. How ignorant are you? The vaccine platform, used for the mRNA vaccines, has been in development for over two decades. They already had experience with a coronavirus mRNA vaccine from 2003.

  14330.  @petermarks4595  No, there are plenty of totally innocent animals killed every day, for meat, leather, fur, etc. So we clearly don't agree on that. One thing that those in the biological science can agree upon is, a fetus is not a human being.
    1
  14331.  @joboygbpedwards  What you are falsely calling a heartbeat is merely a bunch of undifferentiated muscle cells contracting in unison. If you remove heart tissue, from an animal, and put it in medium, they will continue to contract. The fetus has no real heart, until late in the pregnancy, and pumps no blood. That is not a heartbeat.

  14334. Since he had been involved in a drive-by shooting, the cops assumed he was armed. Black or white, cops shoot armed suspects with a kill shot if they move a muscle. However, if he had complied, stayed still and put his hands up, a black kid might still be shot, and a white one probably won't.

  14337.  @youngheart17  I think Gantz, with his Qatar connections, and Lapid, with his illegal deals with Lebanon, are the real dangers. But, you're correct about the constant terrorism. That's what happens when you include members of the muslim brotherhood, in your government. And when the response to people defending themselves, from lynchings, is to arrest the victim, people are going to vote the bums out. Time to reform the courts, so they can no longer appoint their cronies, and overturn legitimate laws, on a whim. Time to make the police patrol the streets, and keep the people safe. The only cop cars I ever see, in Kiryat Gat, are border patrol, not regular police. Also time for the government to release more land, so people can afford homes.

  14344.  @donaldwest8130  There are things I dislike about Warnock, but that slum lord story is BS. The church he works for, developed low income housing. Then, because they didn't want to deal with the financial aspect of it, brought in a property management company, to run it. That company, after the pandemic was over, began to insist people pay the $129/month rent, and evicted those who made no effort to pay even a fraction, of that extremely low rent. Since the deadbeats were the ones, who often caused other problems, that doesn't seem excessive. Yet, Warnock himself, had no input to the decisions to evict.
    1
  14345.  @donaldwest8130  I rally hate to be the one debunking your libel, but here goes. Warnock's ex-wife wanted to leave the state, and since they had joint custody, she could not do so. So, in order to get sole custody of their children, she created an incident, then called the police, saying Warnock had run over her foot, as he tried to away from her brand of crazy. She would not let EMTs examine her foot, and a later xray showed no damage, yet she tried to press charges anyway. The courts tossed them out, because they were clearly fabricated.

Also, while we are looking at Trump's treason, Congress is working on draconian 'tax reform' that would only benefit the extremely wealthy, while screwing over the working poor and raising the deficit.

  14348. He was one of the few Republicans who spoke up, and said Biden had won. He was one of the few Republicans to vote to impeach Trump. He's not resigning in protest, he not trying to be reelected, because standing up for the truth has cost him his political career. He could have gone along, like most Republicans, and kissed the ring at Maralago. Instead, he sacrificed his career in support of the Constitution.

You can write more code, run more scientific experiments, design more hardware, test more, and basically be a lot more productive, without wasting time on meetings. As for metrics, when I took a project management class in grad school, the only conclusion I came to is metrics are another waste of time, utterly useless, and really can't predict anything. The idea of metrics was invented by people who can't do anything useful, as an excuse to harass productive types.

Claiming, that because Japan was a part owner of one of ships destroyed and Japan was trying to talk to Iran, means it couldn't be Iran ignores the fact that Iran was totally hostile to everything the Japanese envoy said. Iran has been threatening for weeks to do this very thing. We should have believed them and acted to prevent this.

  14425. He might be experiencing senile dementia. Anyone, who has dealt with a parent with Altzheimers, knows they cannot handle the truth, when it goes against what they think they know. My late mother told me that she did not like my sig. other, and neither did my father, that she had just spoken to him, and he didn't like him either. When I pointed out my father was dead, long before I met this man, she claimed I was wrong, and he was still alive, standing right there. When I reminded her that my father's ashes were on the tonsu, with the date of his death inscribed on the urn. She looked, and then she claimed they belonged to another person, with the same name. Hardly likely, as we have a very unusual family name. Logic and reality cannot penetrate dementia.

And it wasn't just the US that recognized Guaido, but most civilized countries. And what do you mean "Netanyahu was supposed to step down"? Rivlin gave the mandate to form a new coalition to him, because more seats proposed him for PM. That is the way a parliamentary government works when no one party has a clear majority. Who are you to tell another country how their democracy works? Maybe you should learn something before you opine again.

The countries, that handled the pandemic the best, were all run by women. We could have been one of them, not the pathetic disaster we were, with over a million dead.

  14438. It is illegal to fence stolen goods. It was well known that material had been hacked, stolen, from the DNC. So, when Trump, and his people, coordinated with Wikileaks to release that stolen material they knowingly broke the law. Stone is going to be tried for that coordination, and probably found guilty. They only reason that Trump is not being tried for coordinating the release of stolen material, the only reason he could not be questioned about his intent in obstruction, was his office protects him. The only recourse left is impeachment. But, it is doubtful that the Republicans in the Senate would put country over party, and remove him from office.

  14439. There was a Hero's Act, that only had Covid relief, passed in May. McConnell wouldn't bring it before the Senate. So, some parts of it were shoved into an omnibus spending bill, to make sure it passed. If they took the Covid stuff back out, they would never get past McConnell.

He didn't think Trump should be impeached, for blackmailing a foreign country, with money Congress had authorized. He didn't think his attempt at a soft coup should have seen him impeached. In fact recently, he has demonstrated a real contempt for the voice of the people, and the Rule of Law.

  14448. A decade or so ago, all the Democratic candidates seemed acceptable, but there were a few lunatics running as Republicans. So, I reregistered Republican for a few months, just to vote for the sane Republicans, in the primaries. Most states, that have not yet held their primaries this year, are more liberal New England states, and Louisiana has a jungle primary. But, this is a strategy we might keep in mind in 2024. If the Republicans seem too crazy, register as a Republican temporarily, and vote for the sane ones. Imagine Trump's apoplexy, if Cheney became the Republican presidential candidate.

  14449. We can just go back to the interpretation before 2008. In 1938, the Supreme Court decided that there was no way you could misconstrue the second amendment applied to individuals, that it clearly referred only to the military. That was the logical interpretation, if you read the text.

  14462. He'll probably stop at most of Ukraine's western borders. I feel certain, he will finish the invasions of Moldova and Georgia, and then turn south and east, rather than attack NATO countries. I assume he'll take Armenia and Azerbaijan, as they are busy fighting each other, and are not in NATO. That will give him a land bridge to his ally, Iran. With their help, he'll next subdue eastern, majority Muslim FSU countries. He'll probably make a pact with the tyrant Erdogan, so NATO will lose its bases in that country, and he'll have a connection to Syria, which he already controls through al Assad. Then, it will be a question if he continues taking middle eastern countries, or 'reunites' western FSU countries with Russia (ie. Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Hungary, etc.) Both middle eastern countries and the Baltic states would be easy to pick off, due to constant infighting.

Religion has no place in the school, but neither does political indoctrination. History should be taught in a dry, unbiased fashion; this happened at a certain time, and this is why it happened. No child should be made to feel they are the wrong color. And teachers should teach that every people, has at some time, been enslaved. The black experience is not unique, slavery, and the transport of enslaved people, has happened throughout recorded human history, and is still occurring in the Arab world today.

Unlike Trump, who left vaccination roll out up to the states, and let some state's supplies fall off the truck in New Jersey, Biden employed the military to vaccinate the populace. Unlike Trump, who used needed military supplies to extort a favor from Ukraine, Biden has assisted Ukraine by providing munitions. While Trump made sure most Covid relief money went to his rich cronies, Biden got it to the people.

The idea that companies, who have spent 15 to 25 years developing a vaccine platform, would give away the fruits of that labor, is incredibly unfair.

The revolution had already happened, and the Shah deposed in absentia. There was a government or normal Iranians, who would had formed a mildly anti-west government, but a government of the people and intellectuals who believed in democracy. They disbanded when Ayatollah Khomeni seized power. If Carter had not allowed Khomeni to return, Iran may not have had the most stable government, after all it is made up of a disparate group of peoples, but it would not have become a theocracy. It probably would not have become the major support of terrorism throughout the world, as it has. The IRGC would probably not steal the bulk of everything, as they do now, so the people would have more water and food. At least, the people of Iran, especially the women, would not be so oppressed.

  14516. Having the states lead the roll out was a big mistake. Some states were intelligent, and seeing that 95% of deaths were in those over 50, started with the oldest first, and moved through the over 50 age range. My state was stupid. After vaccinating healthcare people (which is fine) they vaccinated teachers, of any age, and people of target races, and rural areas before the cities. It is moronic to vaccinate teachers, when parents and grandparents of students are not vaccinated. Much of childcare is provided by grandparents. Any state that didn't base vaccination qualifications on age, did it wrong.

  14541. So, you claim that the rise in carbon in the atmosphere, which started rising just as the Industrial Revolution took hold, was due to the planet heating. Do you also claim that the Industrial Revolution itself was caused by the planet heating? And when you light a campfire, and the area around that fire becomes warm, do you think that the warmth caused the campfire to ignite? And why did the planet warm oh so gradually prior to the Industrial Revolution, and rapidly pick up pace the more we burned fossil fuels? Did we start burning more coal because it got warmer? Did warmth make up build more factories? Then why were they mostly built in colder lands?

  14552. Trump's lawyers didn't lose, all but one, election case because they were terrible lawyers, they lost because they had absolutely no evidence of fraud. And I'm so tired of the lie that mail in ballots are fraudulent. Here in Oregon, we've been voting exclusively by mail since 1998, and the amount of election fraud is practically nil, much less than in states that use voting machines. And we have the cleanest voting rolls in the country. What we also don't have is voter suppression, because nobody is turned away from the polls, due to their color; and people don't have to take time off work, to wait in line. And that is the real reason Schlapp dislikes mail-in ballots, they give every citizen a chance to vote. Republicans know they can only win by suppressing the vote of some people. Look what happened in Georgia, when the rules were relaxed, due to Covid, and it was harder to suppress the black vote, Democrats won.

What is happening in Latin America is so much worse than anything you can imagine. There really is no justice. Break a law, don't worry, you can bribe your way out of it. This is a long time problem, not just four years ole. My family went to Mexico every year, in the 1960s and 1970s. My father carried a roll of $20 bills, and if we ever ran into problems, just kept pealing off one after the other, until the official was satisfied. And the problem went away. It was already corrupt then, and has only gotten worse.

The antigenic changes, we see in influenza each year, are most likely due to reassortment than mutation. But, yes, as a single stranded RNA virus, coronavirus mutates easily, and we will all probably need a booster each year, to keep up with the more infectious strains that develop.

It will certainly mutate a bit, but not so much that it will be considered a new virus.

Experts look at all the reports, and sift out the obvious false reports, then follow up on the side effects that could be real, and weed out the false reports in those. The verified side effects are then reported to the CDC. And, big surprise, that is a small fraction of what is in VAERS.

  14604. Short answer: SCOTUS made it thus. Long answer: We used to have laws that limited how much a candidate could spend, and also make PACs (political action committees) more transparent, and limit how much they could spend. But, our Supreme Court decided 1. Money is speech. 2. Corporations have the same rights as citizens, therefore they have the same right to free speech. Therefore, any limit on what a person or corporation gives a candidate or PAC, and how much money that candidate or PAC spends, is a limitation on free speech, and forbidden by the first amendment. Further, as citizens have a right to privacy, so do corporations, so it is unconstitutional to require PACs to show who is giving to them, and how much they get.

What they actually said was that N95 masks, the kind that protect the wearer, are difficult to use and the limited supply should be left to medical personnel. Simple cloth masks are very effective in protecting everyone from the wearer, they prevent the broadcasting of infectious droplets. You don't wear a mask to protect yourself from others, but to protect others from you. This virus is something good people do not want to share with others. Only a truly heinous person refuses to protect others.

And many of those who do need them, for hunting and protection from varmints, could easily get by with a single shot rifle or shotgun, as they do in Canada. But, because of a very bad Supreme Court decision, in 2008, adults have the right to own them, subject to regulation. It is that regulation being discussed today.

  14677.  Nathaniel Anderson  It is utterly absurd that we make victimless activities crimes. In Australia, prostitution is legal, and sex workers are protected from violence and VD. In many states, cannabis is legal. We have legal weed in Oregon, and now all drugs are decriminalized. For several years we've had access to legal cannabis, where the THC and CBD content is clearly labeled, and no pesticides are allowed. And the taxes generated pay for a myriad of programs. The black market in weed is almost gone, and teenagers have less access than they did before legalization. I went through chemo, eight years back, and my oncologist prescribed oxycontin for the pain. Rather than use that, I ate cannabis cookies, and came through the torture, without becoming an addict. It is better to help people with the problems, that turn them to drugs, than to throw them in jail. Not only is it better for the addict, is is less of a burden on the tax payer.

  14678.  @elmosweed4985  Cocaine hits receptors in the body, and it is still a drug. If you don't want to say cannabis is a drug, you must admit it contains drugs. But, so what, the caffeine in coffee is a drug. Many drugs are of a natural origin. Digitalis originally came from the common foxglove, aspirin was derived from willow bark. Being natural and being a drug are not mutually exclusive.

  14680. korre Half Blood Princess Speaking as an old white person (if the bigots still count Jews as white) we need to watch out for further Russian perversion of the election. They are trying to hack vulnerable Democrats and have deployed attempts to suppress the liberal vote. When thinking people regain the Congress, it is time to get rid of the Electoral College. Twice in this century alone, we have been saddled with a president the people didn't want. Both times the people's choice was a much better qualified candidate, but we got stuck with the choice of the ignorant. The country, and world, would have been much better off if the people's choices, Gore and Hillary Clinton, had taken the White House.

And, Poles were not sent to the camps, just for being Polish, nor were Jazz musicians. Further, of nine million Jews, living in Europe before WWII, six million were murdered. There is no other group of people where 2/3 of them were killed by the Nazis.

  14699. Everything coming from the Republicans about the impeachment of Trump is deflection of what they did to Clinton. They say Democrats were always out to get Trump, when Clinton's impeachment derived from a constant attempt to get something on him. First it was White Water (real estate), they they tried to find campaign finance improprieties, then the said he harassed Paula Jones. All failed, but when the found out he'd had a legal, if gross, dalliance, they got him on that. With Trump, Pelosi has let many other reasons to impeach pass by, put finally had to act, as this one threatens the next election. The Republicans say the process is rushed, Yet they spent half as much time on Clinton's proceedings. As to when presidents were impeached: Johnson was not elected, but the impeachment came in his only term, so Clinton is the outlier having been impeached in his second term.

I got the same sort of answer to a lot of questions, like about atomic bonds, and where do the electrons go. I had to wait until college, to get the answer to many of my questions, and these children can wait until college, as well.

It is more than a coincidence that the pastor Turkey was holding was released as soon as this incident was reported by Turkey. The story that recordings were transmitted by Khashoggi's watch is not credible; the range of Bluetooth is not that great. Saudi Arabia's motives are not that strong. The Turkish government is not trustworthy, its story is full of holes. The Turks align with, our enemy, Iran. The Saudis do not. Both Saudi Arabia and Turkey want to be the dominant power of the middle east. Erdogan has good reason to tar the Saudi's reputation. The Turkish economy was tanking, they needed to end the sanctions while saving face. The Turk's motive to create this incident is very strong. Unless we have evidence from a different source confirming the Saudis did this, we should not act.

  14725. MaAuliffe is being a typical politician, blaming someone else for his own mistake. He was polling well before he was foolish on a call. Don't blame Biden for the fact nothing is passing, he's not in the legislature, blame the far left flank of the party. They act like they got a mandate, when the most moderate person in the primary won. And the pundit who said, with great authority, "They don't teach critical race theory anywhere in the country" is dead wrong. In my city, of Portland, they may not call it that, but that is exactly what they are doing, dividing the class into oppressed and oppressors, on the basis of skin color, for certain exercises. That is wrong, no matter what label you slap on it. My biracial neighbors put their children in private school, because of this crap. My daughter is worried about what this will do to her triracial son, when he's old enough to go to school. Maybe primary school teachers, who aren't all that bright, should leave this sort of thing for the college years.

Chloroquine should not be given to patients with any kind of heart disease, diabetes, thyroid disease, G6PD deficiency, porphyria, psoriasis, neurological conditions, seizures, alcoholism or liver disease. Since the two groups of people most susceptible to Covid-19 are those with diabetes and heart disease, that rather limits its usefulness.

  14792.  @andersonmcbride29  If you don't have a scientific education, so you really don't understand what the science is, yet you still question it, yes you're anti-science. Or to be more exact, anti-expertise. You didn't bother to spend the time needed to get a science degree, or are just too stupid to be admitted into a college, to get that degree, yet think you can have the credentials to question those who did. You grab onto the opinion of an outlier, or the results of one well debunked study, and use that as a weapon against real experts. Whether you do so because you don't really understand how science works, or because you are angry that others are more qualified than you, matters not. Your sort of science denial proves dangerous.

  14809. Collins is the Representative of NY 27. This district is overwhelmingly white. It's one of those places that went for Obama, then Trump. As an incumbent, he's twice captured 2/3 of the vote. He is probably very secure in his seat, but maybe a stench of treason could unseat him.

Vaccination greatly decreases transmission. Your attitude is like saying, because seatbelts don't completely prevent death, even though greatly reduce them, we shouldn't wear seatbelts.

  14824.  @markwarren5644  Untrue. First only antibody production was measured, and anyone who understands how the adaptive immune system matures, knows younger children often recover through T cells and the innate immune system. Second 33% is not 0%, and that was only in prevention of symptomatic Covid. The data I saw, showed the vaccines, for children under five, greatly reduced chances of severe infection.

  14850. If anyone, who shows symptoms, was being tested for monkeypox, that 99% gay men statistic would be a lot smaller. If you only test gay men, you'll only find it in gay men. Physicians need to start testing everyone, who shows symptoms of the disease. This is not an STD, and we need to stop treating it as such. The straight people, and children, who contract this disease, are just as deserving of prophylactic measures and antiviral treatment, as gay men. I'm so sick of political agendas driving public health! Test everyone, regardless of orientation!

  14851. The court system is very corrupt and nepotistic. It seized power it was never supposed to have. It overturns laws based upon whim, as Israel has no constitution. And it refuses to act on crimes committed by the left (like Gantz and Lapid), while persecuting the right on fabricated charges. The Israeli courts need more reform than Yariv Levin has put forward. Without pulling the teeth of the soviet loving, self appointing, nepotistic, authoritarian courts, Israel in not a democracy.

  14852. @PoWer to the sHeepLe No, they have separated asymptomatic from presymptomatic. They now claim that truly asymptomatic individuals have a low viral load and aren't quite as infectious. But, presymptomatic individuals have a heavy viral load and are the most infectious, even more than symptomatic individuals. Since these people show no symptoms, yet, and can infect a lot of people, they are quite dangerous. Which is why everyone, regardless of symptoms, should wear a mask and avoid spreading the virus.

  14853.  Yashar'el in Captivity  So, when would a person have the RNA of this virus in their system? When they are infected. So PCR does detect infection. And because you count the number of cycles needed before the viral RNA is detectable, it is quantitative, not qualitative.

  14868. Maybe if everyone who shows symptoms had the same access to tests, phlebotomists would willingly draw everyone's blood. But, as long as non-gay people, who have symptoms of monkeypox, are being denied testing, and only gay people are given access to the limited vaccine supply, I can understand their reticence. We need to stop pretending this is an STD confined to gay men, and give the same access to testing, vaccination and treatment to everyone, regardless of sexual preferences. The amount of genetic variation, in samples of monkeypox virus collected in the US, demonstrates that this virus has been in circulation here for several months. As this is often transmitted by fomites, everyone is at risk, so our resources should not be given only to one small demographic group. Phlebotomists, and other heathcare professionals, who come into contact with patients and their bodily fluids, should be given priority access to vaccination, not gay men. If the entire population were being tested, as the gay community is, we'd not see any population preference for infection. When only a few are allowed testing, of course cases are only found in the privileged few.

They have been bombarding pregnant women with free samples of Enfamil, coupons, and disinformation. Only between 1% to 4% of women cannot produce enough milk to feed their baby, but the advertisements try and make mothers feel like most of us cannot do what is best. This sort of deceptive advertisement should be illegal. Especially in a time of pandemic, mothers should be encouraged to breastfeed, and give their infants protective IgA.
