President Kamala Harris
It happened today. President Biden transferred power to VP Harris.
True, that the transfer of power was only temporary, while President Biden
underwent a routine colonoscopy, 85 minutes to be exact.
But, perhaps it will portend a victory in 2024.
Who knows.
It would be terrific if the US finally opened it's collective mind to
elect a woman president. Certainly something for the ladies to celebrate especially.
I think Harris would make a good president. Tough enough to stand against enemies and warm enough to support allies. She may not do as good as Bernie nor Warren on domestic issues, but overall, she'd probably do fine.
I think she would for the most part make good judgements after carefully weighing the information. That's certainly better than what I have seen out of most of the loonie Republican party recently and way better than the worst "co-called" president loser that got voted out in the last election, Mr. Two Time Impeachment.
So, congrats President Harris. No issues during that trial run.

Covid Is Declining Worldwide - Is The Surge Over? - OMICRON UPDATE 2/4/22!
Is Herd Immunity Pushing Covid From Pandemic to Endemic?
Note - That was posted over a Month ago ... It's been observed for awhile
I recently hear it reported on News, which prompted me to search it.
Apparently the observation it Valid & the trend is Ongoing.
This is all the More Remarkable as it's occurring as the Northern Hemisphere is approaching Winter, folks are spending time together Indoors, which would be expected to cause rate to INCREASE.

The most Dangerous Tree in the World, resides in Florida
Just 'great' !
If the venomous snakes, Trumpers, gators, fire ants, anti-vaccers, sharks, horrible governor decisions, moray eels, and gun toting residents don't get you, Florida has a tree that can.

Innocent-Looking Tree in Florida Is 'The Most Dangerous' in the World
By Rebecca Flood

An innocent-looking tree in Florida is thought to be the deadliest in the world, with every part of it—from the fruit to the sap—potentially fatal to humans.
The Manchineel tree looks like any other, with lean branches giving way to waxy green leaves and small apple-like fruit.
But eat anything from the tree, stand under it during rain, use its wood to make a fire, or merely touch its sap, and its poison could kill.
The Manchineel was hailed as the most dangerous tree in the world by the Guinness Book of World Records in 2011.
It can be found in only one location in the U.S.—Florida.
More precisely, in the Everglades. So if you thought gators are the most dangerous thing in the sunshine state, think again.
Revealing why the tree gets the prestigious accolade from the record-breakers, the Guinness Book of World Records said: "The sap that its trunk exudes is so poisonous and acidic that the merest contact with human skin causes a breakout of blisters, and blindness can occur if it touches a person's eyes.
"Even standing under it in the rain is enough to cause blistering if the skin is wetted by raindrops containing any sap. In addition, a single bite of its small green apple-like fruit causes blistering and severe pain, and can prove fatal.
"And if one of these deadly trees is burned, the resulting smoke can cause blindness if it reaches a person's eyes."
As its fruit bears an uncanny resemblance to delicious apples, the Manchineel is also nicknamed the "beach apple."
Its botanical name is Hippomane mancinella, derived from the Spanish word "manzanilla," meaning "little apple." The University of Florida claims the tree was referred to as "manzanilla de la muerte" by the conquistadors, meaning "little apple of death."
The existence of Florida's dangerous inhabitant was noted by The Weather Channel's Instagram page, which shared a snap of the tree on Sunday.
It posted a clip detailing the tree's horrifying properties, saying: "A tree growing in coastal Florida is considered the most dangerous in the world. Here's why you never want to go anywhere near the manchineel tree."
The captions echoed the record-breaking entry, citing toxic fruit, "painful burns" from rain mixed with sap, blisters from touching leaves, and blindness caused by smoke should the wood be burned.
The video also revealed that most trees carry warning signs on them, or are painted red, to ward off unsuspecting ramblers.
"Caution the fruits of this manchineel tree are poisonous. Do not stand beneath tree when it is raining," one sign featured in the footage read.

PolitiFact: Persistent, Bellicose, Shameless Liars
... and people who *use* Poltifact to support their own lies.
Tucker Carlson juxtaposed the persistent, shameless, bellicose lies of the Leftist media and notably, POLITIFACT, with the facts that came out as a result of the Kyle Rittenhouse trial.
[video not available]
Tucker systematically catalogs and destroys the lies of the Left.
Which brings us to the Yapping Denialists here on CS, who ***use*** POLITIFACT to bolster their own lies.
These too are bellicose, shameless and persistent liars, who have the utter, unmitigated gall, to accuse those who tell the truth, of lying.
Another CS contributor suggested that, this persistent, bellicose and systematic lying might be here for a reason. They noted that the Left has deployed trolls in social media in order to control the dialog.
Before we had the Internet, the government had COINTELPRO, which was a Dirty Tricks program used by the US government, so this stuff has been used for a long time:
FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover issued directives governing COINTELPRO, ordering FBI agents to "expose, disrupt, misdirect, discredit, or otherwise neutralize" the activities of these movements and especially their leaders.
(A) 1968 FBI memo (stated) : “Through counter-intelligence it should be possible to pinpoint potential trouble-makers and neutralize them.”
@staceyann.uy/cointelpro-how-the-us-government-dissected-dissent-1956-1977-1f2a88920587
With the advent of the Internet and folks using it to find information and communicate with one another, the Left deployed paid and directed trolls to disrupt American communications and to control the dialog.
Political leftists play for keeps. They are willing to lie, perform deceptive acts in a coordinated fashion and do so in a wicked way - all in the pursuit of victory. Moral relativism is alive and well in the land of Hope and Change and its Web-savvy youth brigade expresses its “idealism” in a most cynical fashion. ...
Much of Mr. Obama’s vaunted online strategy involved utilizing “Internet trolls” to invade enemy lines under false names and trying to derail discussion. In the real world, that’s called “vandalism.” But in a political movement that embraces “graffiti” as avant-garde art , that’s business as usual. It relishes the ability to destroy other people’s property in pursuit of electoral victory.
It was successful, there was no punishment for it, and so they kept on doing it, even more.
Unlike Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump, Hillary does not enjoy an enthusiastic following even among those who support her, so she does not have the army of online people voluntarily engaged in defending her against attacks from both the left and the right.
The solution? A vast network of highly paid online pro-Hillary trolls funded by a David Brock super PAC, “Correct the Record,” that will be coordinating with the Hillary campaign. The plan, apparently, was to hire a bunch of people to do what other candidates’ supporters do for free . . . and to make it look grassroots and organic.
So, when you wonder at the apparent impenetrable stupidity of the resident Leftists, their persistent and bellicose lies, their conclusory and defamatory denunciations of real sources like frontline doctors, virologists, immunologists and the like, it makes you wonder... are they here because it's their job?

Alex Jones - Guilty 4 times over !
Today from The Associated Press;
Hopefully, these findings will make others think twice before spreading fake news from right wing b.s. ers.

Alex Jones found liable for defamation in Sandy Hook 'hoax' case
November 15, 20212:07 PM ET
Infowars host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones was found liable Monday for damages in lawsuits brought by parents of children killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting over Jones' claims that the massacre was a hoax.
Judge Barbara Bellis took the rare step of defaulting Jones in the defamation lawsuits for his and his companies' "failure to produce critical material information that the plaintiffs needed to prove their claims." The default means the judge found in favor of the parents and will hold a hearing on how much damages he should pay.
Lawyers for the parents claimed Jones and his companies, including Infowars and Free Speech Systems, violated court rules by failing to turn over documents to them, including internal company documents showing how, and if, Jones and Infowars profited from talking about the school shooting and other mass shootings.
"Their pattern of defying and ignoring court orders to produce responsive information is well established," lawyers for the family wrote in a court brief in July.
Jones' lawyers have denied violating court rules on document disclosure and have asked that Bellis be removed from the case, alleging she has not been impartial.
A Texas judge recently issued similar rulings against Jones in three defamation lawsuits brought by Sandy Hook families in that state, finding Jones liable for damages after defaulting him and his companies for not turning over documents. Hearings on damages also were ordered.

Gaetzgate - It will take some time. But it appears that Matt G. will be spending a long time in jail
There hasn't been a lot published on the progress of the prosecution of Matt Gaetz for his alleged s*xual crimes.
However, this doesn't mean there hasn't been a lot of progress. Indeed, quite the contrary.
The mass of evidence provided by his crony has been unexpected and requires a lot of follow-up.

Report: Matt Gaetz Is Screwed Six Ways From Sunday
If you’ve been keeping tabs on the legal drama surrounding Matt Gaetz, you probably noticed that the last month seemingly brought a lull in headlines concerning the Justice Department investigation into whether he paid women for sex and, separately, slept with a minor and transported her across state lines. Some might have taken that pause to mean the Republican congressman was in the clear, and that the only thing he had to worry about was how deeply awkward Thanksgiving with the in-laws would be this year. But unfortunately for the Florida representative, that does not appear to be the case. In fact, multiple developments in the scandal that he has asked us to refer to as “Gaetzgate” suggest the guy should be extremely worried about his future as a free man.
The most worrisome, if one is worried about Gaetz potentially doing a decade in prison, is a report from The New York Times that the Department of Justice has added a pair of top prosecutors to its investigation, “a sign of the complex and high-stakes nature of the inquiry.” According to Pulitzer Prize–winning reporters Katie Benner and Michael Schmidt, one of the prosecutors is a public corruption investigator who specializes in child exploitation crimes. The other, Todd Gee, is a deputy chief of the Public Integrity Section, which is part of the DOJ’s Criminal Division, a department that is “involved in nearly all major criminal investigations into alleged misconduct by federal, state, and local officials.” Among other cases, Gee served as a lead prosecutor on the 2020 conviction of an ex-Navy commander at Guantánamo Bay, who was found guilty of covering up a fight with a commissary worker who was subsequently found dead.
Meanwhile, the addition of the two prosecutors is far from the only thing Gaetz should be soiling himself over at the moment. During a hearing in Orlando federal court on Monday, a judge granted a request for a delay in the sentencing of Gaetz’s former wingman, Joel Greenberg, who has apparently been providing the department with so much dirt that it could use extra time to go through it all. In a hint of just how uniquely horrifying said dirt may be, Roger Handberg, an assistant U.S. attorney, told the judge that Greenberg has made allegations to investigators that “take us to some places we did not anticipate.” Greenberg himself had originally been hit with a whopping 33 charges, but ended up pleading guilty to just six, including sex trafficking of a child, which seemingly suggests prosecutors believe he will be able to prove uniquely helpful to them. Per CNN:
As part of his plea agreement, was required to give “substantial assistance” to investigators as they build out related cases. His lawyer has said that Greenberg has held a series of proffers, or meetings, with the Justice Department. Handberg did not say what investigations Greenberg was providing new information to authorities about, although CNN has reported that Greenberg has told the Justice Department about encounters he and Gaetz had with women who were given cash or gifts in exchange for sex.
According to the Times, Greenberg has told investigators that he saw Gaetz and others have sex with the same 17-year-old he pleaded guilty to sex trafficking. In court on Monday, Handberg called Greenberg a “prolific criminal,” ominously adding, “Mr. Greenberg was not alone.”

‘Coward’ BLM leader clashes with Dan Bongino, refuses to condemn riots
The Black Lives Matter leader who threatened “bloodshed” if there wasn’t police reform in New York City stormed out of an interview with Fox News’ Dan Bongino Saturday night after being called a “coward” for refusing to condemn riots.
New York BLM co-founder Hawk Newsome clashed with the conservative commentator during a heated exchange about rioting and vandalism in the Big Apple linked to his group in the wake of police use-of-force incidents.
Bongino, who is a former NYPD cop, asked the BLM leader if he condemned the “riots and burning down buildings” that have taken place after police-involved incidents, which escalated in New York last year.
“No. What I’ll say is, I understand when a police officer unjustifiably kills someone, why people lash out. I understand that completely,” Newsome said, adding: “I’m not going to condemn, nor am I going to condone it.”
Bongino hit back accusing him of being “cowardly” and not being able to answer questions when put on the spot — despite talking a “lot of junk.”
“Do you condone violence or you condemn violence? You’re all over the place. Just condemn violence and burning of buildings down. How hard is it?” the Fox host said.
After complaining that Bongino wasn’t giving him a chance to answer, Newsome compared BLM protests to the response from US authorities after 9/11.
“OK, so when Osama bin Laden attacked the World Trade Center, did you say America should deal with it peacefully?” Newsome said, prompting Bongino to argue the terrorist attacks had nothing to do with rioting in NYC.
Newsome responded: “OK, I’ll give you this. I don’t condone it, I don’t promote it, but I will not condemn it.”
He then cut the interview short, telling Bongino: “You’re trying to bait me.”
The fiery exchange came in the wake of Newsome’s comments last week in which he vowed there’ll be “riots,” “fire” and “bloodshed” if Mayor-elect Eric Adams follows through with his promise to bring back plainclothes anti-crime cops to battle the surge in violent crimes.
“If they think they are going back to the old ways of policing then we’re going to take to the streets again,” Newsome had said. “There will be riots. There will be fire, and there will be bloodshed.”

COVID-19 mRNA vaccines' Spike protein inside nucleus enhancing DNA damage?
(H/T: Patti)
This video discusses new surprise discovery (yet to be confirmed by other scientists) that SARS-CoV-2 full length spike protein can enter human cell nuclei and interfere with fixing of broken DNA damage. Authors of the study propose this might have been evolved in order to prevent genetic recombination required to produce antibody variety to successfully attack the virus. If true, and if this could have important implications for potential negative health outcomes and might require reconfiguration of vaccine design.

00:00 Dr Mikolaj Raszek, Phd from Merogenomics
00:09 The latest widest news in Molecular Microbiology
00:33 WHO? Swedish research shows spike protein enters nucleus in human cells (in vitro)
00:57 this is of course, biologically verboten (*German for STRICTLY FORBIDDEN)
01:04 WHAT? *Discovery* Spike protein inhibits proper fixing of broken DNA
01:18 Specifics: double stranded breaks where both strands are broken
01:33 HOW? *Mechanism 1* suspected interference with BRCA1 gene product’s ability to repair DNA
01:48 Consequence: if BRCA1 is mutated though, then you have highest predisposition for Cancer development precisely because BRCA1 gene codes for proteins that fix DNA damage when sheared in half
02:14 Significance: Consequences are so great if true that it should be double checked, verified and reinvestigated
2:42 Call for a lot more studies: Revalidation
2:51 HOW? *Mechanism 2* Spike also interferes with mysterious nuclear protein 53BP1 which may serve to prevent DNA breaks from re-ligating to other DNA sources ensuring 2 chromosomes don’t link together that aren’t supposed to.
4:21 HOW? *Mechanism 3* Perhaps spike in Nuclei interferes with Immune cells’ mechanisms (eg.BRCA1 and 53BP1) and diversity of response to infections.
4:42 *TAKEAWAY* What if Spike protein evolved as a mutagen for DNA – what would implications be for a vaccine that’s primary focus was to produce Spike?
5:32 CONTEXT: Recent discovery that Spikes may circulate for months on end in Exosomes to different parts of the body and in theory enter cells well after the point of vaccination as COVID-19 mRNA vaccines update 16 discussed
06:15 CONTEXT: DNA gets 70k lesions/day /cell! But only 25 are double stranded shearing damages
07:25 IMPLICATIONS: So within this context, what are the chances circulating spike proteins could enter and damage DNA and predispose to cancer? In cancer, it takes months for damage to accumulate and cause symptoms. Therefore…
7:45 IMPLICATION: *Vaccine Safety* Are vaccines “SAFE”? What is vaccine “Safety”? Only Time can/will tell.

01:04 WHAT? *Discovery* Spike protein inhibits proper fixing of broken DNA
01:18 Specifics: double stranded breaks where both strands are broken
01:33 HOW? *Mechanism 1* suspected interference with BRCA1 gene product’s ability to repair DNA
01:48 Consequence: if BRCA1 is mutated though, then you have highest predisposition for Cancer development precisely because BRCA1 gene codes for proteins that fix DNA damage when sheared in half
02:14 Significance: Consequences are so great if true that it should be double checked, verified and reinvestigated
2:42 Call for a lot more studies: Revalidation
2:51 HOW? *Mechanism 2* Spike also interferes with mysterious nuclear protein 53BP1 which may serve to prevent DNA breaks from re-ligating to other DNA sources ensuring 2 chromosomes don’t link together that aren’t supposed to.
4:21 HOW? *Mechanism 3* Perhaps spike in Nuclei interferes with Immune cells’ mechanisms (eg.BRCA1 and 53BP1) and diversity of response to infections.
4:42 *TAKEAWAY* What if Spike protein evolved as a mutagen for DNA – what would implications be for a vaccine that’s primary focus was to produce Spike?
5:32 CONTEXT: Recent discovery that Spikes may circulate for months on end in Exosomes to different parts of the body and in theory enter cells well after the point of vaccination as COVID-19 mRNA vaccines update 16 discussed
06:15 CONTEXT: DNA gets 70k lesions/day /cell! But only 25 are double stranded shearing damages
07:25 IMPLICATIONS: So within this context, what are the chances circulating spike proteins could enter and damage DNA and predispose to cancer? In cancer, it takes months for damage to accumulate and cause symptoms. Therefore…
7:45 IMPLICATION: *Vaccine Safety* Are vaccines “SAFE”? What is vaccine “Safety”? Only Time can/will tell.
