Dr Judy Mikovits is a discredited scientist who has been proven to lie and fake research.
Dr Judy Mikovits is a discredited scientist who has been proven to lie and fake research (sacked for a research position for falsifying a report), why anyone would use her as a source of information is mind-boggling.
A simple search online comes up with pages of information from both left and right political bias showing that Mikovits is a discredited scientist using lies to gain financial assistance from the likes of QAnon.
In late 2008, a graduate student, who subsequently was hired by Mikovits as her technician, obtained two positive results from a group of twenty samples. He and Mikovits successively altered the experimental conditions until all samples gave a positive signal.
So a proven liar is yet again used as a means to spread more lies and false information on social media.

Online Dating: Risky, Dangerous, and Deadly...
This great article serves as a warning for all who may consider online dating to be safe.
Risky business: The dangers of online dating and how to protect yourself
By Diana Falzone Published April 12, 2016 FoxNews.com
Police believe Ingrid Lyne, a Seattle-area mother of three, was the victim of homicide after dismembered remains were found a day after her disappearance.
Unlike singles in the '70s, who cruised bars and discos and risked looking for love in all the wrong places, tens of millions of singles each day join and log on to online dating sites with the belief that their efforts to find love and companionship are safe and secure.
But the apparent murder and dismemberment of Ingrid Lyne, a 40-year-old Seattle-area mother of three, has sent shockwaves throughout the cyber-romance world, with many begging the question: Is anyone safe?
Lyne disappeared last Friday after leaving to meet a date, who police identified as John Robert Charlton, 37. Her ex-husband reported her missing on Saturday — and a dismembered body, including a severed head and foot tentatively identified as Lyne's, were discovered Monday in a recycling bin in Seattle’s Central District. Friends said Lyne met Charlton a few months earlier through an as-yet-unnamed online dating site. Charlton reportedly has a lengthy rap sheet, including misdemeanor assaults — but it’s unlikely his dating profile mentioned that detail.
So, how do you protect yourself when you try online dating?
Bruce Anderson, director of Cyber Intelligence & Investigations, encourages cyber-daters to conduct a background check.
“You should always do a background check on the person that you are dating,” Anderson told FoxNews.com. “You should consider hiring a [private investigator] to run a background check and criminal check on the person, as well as a deep dive (OSINT) Open Source Intelligence Search. If this person has been around or successful, there will be a lot of information on them.”
A background check could be a wise move considering most dating websites do not conduct one. Under Match.com's "Terms of Use Agreement," it clearly states that the company is not liable should you have a date with death. Similar warnings exist on popular sites eHarmony, Farmers Only, and OKCupid, among others.
Here is an excerpt from Match.com under the subcategory "Your Interactions with Other Members."
“YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER MEMBERS. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THE COMPANY CURRENTLY DOES NOT CONDUCT CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS OR SCREENINGS ON ITS MEMBERS. THE COMPANY ALSO DOES NOT INQUIRE INTO THE BACKGROUNDS OF ALL OF ITS MEMBERS OR ATTEMPT TO VERIFY THE STATEMENTS OF ITS MEMBERS. THE COMPANY MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AS TO THE CONDUCT OF MEMBERS OR THEIR COMPATIBILITY WITH ANY CURRENT OR FUTURE MEMBERS. THE COMPANY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CONDUCT ANY CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK OR OTHER SCREENINGS (SUCH AS SEX OFFENDER REGISTER SEARCHES), AT ANY TIME AND USING AVAILABLE PUBLIC RECORDS."
Still, clinical psychologist Dr. Chloe Carmichael said even Charlton's criminal background was not enough to make an assertion he was a real threat — and that the public shouldn't be quick to point the finger at online dating.
“It's easy to focus on the online dating aspect here, but really this could have happened to the victim if she had met Charlton at a bar or anywhere else," Carmichael said. "They had apparently been dating for one or two months, so it's not as if she broke the obvious safety rules like going somewhere alone with him on a first date. It's unclear whether she knew about his criminal history of misdemeanor violence, but even if she did, it would not be reasonable to think that would be a tip-off that he's a depraved killer.”

Wow ! From a senior Trump official published yesterday in The NY Times
In response to:
I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration
I work for the president but like-minded colleagues and I have vowed to thwart parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations
.
Sept. 5, 2018
The Times today is taking the rare step of publishing an anonymous Op-Ed essay. We have done so at the request of the author, a senior official in the Trump administration whose identity is known to us and whose job would be jeopardized by its disclosure. We believe publishing this essay anonymously is the only way to deliver an important perspective to our readers. We invite you to submit a question about the essay or our vetting process here.
President Trump is facing a test to his presidency unlike any faced by a modern American leader.
It’s not just that the special counsel looms large. Or that the country is bitterly divided over Mr. Trump’s leadership. Or even that his party might well lose the House to an opposition hellbent on his downfall.
The dilemma — which he does not fully grasp — is that many of the senior officials in his own administration are working diligently from within to frustrate parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations.
I would know. I am one of them.
To be clear, ours is not the popular “resistance” of the left. We want the administration to succeed and think that many of its policies have already made America safer and more prosperous.
But we believe our first duty is to this country, and the president continues to act in a manner that is detrimental to the health of our republic.
That is why many Trump appointees have vowed to do what we can to preserve our democratic institutions while thwarting Mr. Trump’s more misguided impulses until he is out of office.
The root of the problem is the president’s amorality. Anyone who works with him knows he is not moored to any discernible first principles that guide his decision making.
Although he was elected as a Republican, the president shows little affinity for ideals long espoused by conservatives: free minds, free markets and free people. At best, he has invoked these ideals in scripted settings. At worst, he has attacked them outright.
In addition to his mass-marketing of the notion that the press is the “enemy of the people,” President Trump’s impulses are generally anti-trade and anti-democratic.
Don’t get me wrong. There are bright spots that the near-ceaseless negative coverage of the administration fails to capture: effective deregulation, historic tax reform, a more robust military and more.
But these successes have come despite — not because of — the president’s leadership style, which is impetuous, adversarial, petty and ineffective.
From the White House to executive branch departments and agencies, senior officials will privately admit their daily disbelief at the commander in chief’s comments and actions. Most are working to insulate their operations from his whims.
Meetings with him veer off topic and off the rails, he engages in repetitive rants, and his impulsiveness results in half-baked, ill-informed and occasionally reckless decisions that have to be walked back.
“There is literally no telling whether he might change his mind from one minute to the next,” a top official complained to me recently, exasperated by an Oval Office meeting at which the president flip-flopped on a major policy decision he’d made only a week earlier.
The erratic behavior would be more concerning if it weren’t for unsung heroes in and around the White House. Some of his aides have been cast as villains by the media. But in private, they have gone to great lengths to keep bad decisions contained to the West Wing, though they are clearly not always successful.

In response to: New Jersey Woman on Oxygen Dies After Electric Company Shuts Off Her Power

New Jersey officials said on Monday they were investigating why a utility company shut off power last week at the Newark home of a woman in hospice care who then died after her electric-powered oxygen tank stopped operating.
Family members of the woman, Linda Daniels, said she gasped for air for hours on Thursday until she died of congestive heart failure. The company, Public Service Electric and Gas Company, had cut off power to her home that morning because of overdue bills.
The family said they pleaded with the company to restore electricity, telling customer service representatives that Ms. Daniels, 68, depended on oxygen equipment in order to breathe. Power was eventually returned to the home on Friday.
“She was scared, and she was holding our hands tightly,” said Desiree Washington, Ms. Daniels’s daughter. “She was horrified. We were all horrified.”
The case has caught the attention of regulatory officials in New Jersey, where utilities are prohibited from shutting off power to people with medical emergencies. The company said Monday that it was not aware that Ms. Daniels had a medical condition, though her relatives said it had been notified.
The state’s Board of Public Utilities said it had opened an investigation.
“BPU is investigating the circumstances surrounding the tragic death of Linda Daniels last week at her home in Newark,” a spokesman said. “As part of our investigation, we are in the process of gathering all appropriate information in order to determine how this could have occurred.”
Ms. Washington said her mother’s home lost power around 10 a.m. on Thursday. When she arrived later that morning, the heat was suffocating. The high temperature on Thursday in Newark was 91 degrees.
Family members repeatedly called the utility company, she said.
“We kept calling, and they said to stop calling,” Ms. Washington said. “What kind of customer service is that?”
The family also called 911 to have paramedics bring a portable oxygen tank so Ms. Daniels could breathe. Even with the aid of the portable tank, Ms. Daniels’s health continued to decline and she died shortly before
4:00 pm.
John Sharpe James, a Newark City Council member who represents the area where Ms. Daniels lived, said he was concerned about what had transpired and had asked the utility company for an explanation.
He said he planned to meet with the family on Tuesday.
“I will give them time, but ultimately it’s a very sad day and it’s an unfortunate incident,” Mr. James said. “We want to ensure it doesn’t happen again, and we cannot have our senior population in jeopardy like that.”
Officials at Public Service Electric and Gas Company said Monday that they had started an internal investigation into the case. But so far, they have uncovered no indication of a medical condition on Ms. Daniels’s account, which was past due $1,500 as of last week.
“This account was severely in arrears, and we made at least 26 attempts to notify the customer since January 2018, including two visits to the residence prior to the disconnection,” the company said in a statement.
Workers would not have shut off power if they were notified of her medical condition, the company said, adding, “We are carefully reviewing everything that happened around this terrible incident.”
Relatives of Ms. Daniels said that both her family and hospice nurses had informed Public Service Electric and Gas Company long before Thursday about her medical condition.

How to raise $454 Million...
Like him or not, Micheal Cohen brought up some interesting discussion about how Trump could raise money to post bond for the New York civil fraud trial. Trump had claimed to have the cash. He doesn't or he would have posted bond and stop the accruing interest.
If he liquidates properties, it won't be soon and he will have to pay taxes on the long-term capital gains, as high as 40% and pay off mortgages too.
Chubb already fronted money for the defamation case against E. Jean Carroll. What corporation or billionaire will front him money knowing there's a chance it won't be repaid?
There's always a suspicion he will back channel money from a foreign government... Saudi or Russian. That would put him in a compromising position of favoritism should he make it to the White House. Other suspicions are he's holding on to some of the classified documents that could be a negotiating tool. Cohen states our national security is at risk.
As he says... it's No Joke.

The Verdict
$364 Million disgorgement fine and a three-year ban on doing business in New York state for Trump, his company and his associates.
The economy is roaring back!
Great news for the economy and true Americans, but bad news for the libs! 
Stocks are rushing higher in early trading Friday after a stunningly good report on the U.S. job market gave Wall Street's recent rally another shot of adrenaline.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 756 points, or 2.9 percent, at 27,037, as of 9.45am. The Nasdaq was up 1.6 percent and the S&P 500 was up 2.2 percent within the first 15 minutes of trading.
It came after the government said that U.S. employers added 2.5 million workers to their payrolls last month. Economists were expecting them instead to slash another 8 million jobs amid the ongoing fallout from the response to the coronavirus pandemic.
While economists cautioned that it's just one month of data and could be giving false hope, the report gives credence to the building optimism among stock investors that the economy can recover relatively quickly from its current hole.
That hope has been a big reason for the better than 40 percent rally for the S&P 500 since late March.
The S&P 500 is now down only about 6.3 percent from its record set in February after earlier being down nearly 34 percent.
'It looks like the healing process is underway in the jobs market and it looks like it´s happening sooner than expected,' said Todd Lowenstein, equity strategy executive of The Private Bank at Union Bank. 'It looks like the worst is behind us.'
In another show of increased confidence, the yield on the 10-year Treasury zoomed up to 0.90 percent from 0.82 percent late Thursday.
This area of the market was much earlier than stocks to give warning about the coming economic devastation from the coronavirus outbreak. It had also been much slower to rise than stocks recently, but the 10-year yield is now close to its highest level since late March.
Stocks began their tremendous rally in late March after the Federal Reserve came to the rescue once again with promises of immense aid to keep markets running smoothly.
Capitol Hill also agreed on unprecedented amounts of aid for the economy, which helped eliminate the worst-case scenario for many investors of a full-blown financial crisis.
