In 2003 Randy Jirtle at Duke University used 4 B vitamins to block the DNA transcription process of Agouti Mice that were genetically predisposed to cancer, diabetes and obesity. It blocked the transcription of aberrant DNA utilizing a protein sleeve that blocked the replication process. The unusual thing was that the offspring of the pregnant mice who were fed the supplements did not have the negative attributes and neither did the next generation. I have been fighting fatigue and severe cramping ever since my J&J vaccine, after having Covid in January 2020. I started on the mega B vitamins, and...

The city of Los Angeles on Wednesday used its emergency alert system to urge local residents to get vaccinated as officials express growing concern over a new surge in cases due in part to the highly transmissible delta variant. Multiple L.A.-based journalists and local residents share screenshots on Twitter of the Public Safety Alert they received on their phone, reading, “COVID cases are rapidly rising.” “Protect yourself, loved ones, and your community by getting vaccinated now,” the alert from the LA city government continued. “Vaccines are free, safe, and highly effective.”

Police said they were told by the group they had been released by Border Patrol into a local hotel.

From Dallas Justice Now (BLM): To Our White Allies: Talk is not enough. Commit yourself towards taking action and making sacrifices to correct centuries of injustice. Open up spaces for Black and LatinX communities by refusing to send your kids to Ivy League and US News & World Report Top 50 schools and encourage friends, neighbors, and family members to do the same. Imagine if those hundreds of thousands of spots at these institutions were occupied only by marginalized communities. Imagine the opportunities. We can achieve true equity within our lifetimes but only if white folks are willing to sacrifice...

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti announced a new vaccine mandate for city employees on Tuesday. All employees will either have to show proof of vaccination, or be forced to undergo weekly COVID-19 tests, if they want to retain their jobs. The mayor’s announcement came as L.A. County has reported a sharp uptick in the daily average testing positivity rate, which is now over 5%, after dipping to below 1% in June. Many new cases are among the unvaccinated population.

I can't find the answer to this anywhere, so I thought I'd try you smart (sometimes :) ) folks. Are those who have died after taking the vaccine COUNTED in the total COVID deaths? They shouldn't be, and if they are, then the more people that get killed via vaccine, the higher the COVID numbers would go, and the greater case they could make for the vaccine! What a nice little circular system that would make!

Novak Djokovic said “pressure is a privilege” after keeping his Golden Slam bid intact at the Tokyo Olympics, where the decision of gymnast Simone Biles to withdraw from two events over mental health concerns has put the spotlight on athletes’ wellbeing. World number one Novak Djokovic is trying to become the first man to win all four Grand Slams and Olympic gold in the same year, and emulate the feat achieved by Steffi Graf in 1988. The Serb is thriving on the Olympic experience, mingling and posing for pictures with athletes from all walks of life in the village, cutting...

A Springfield hospital announced Tuesday that it expanded its morgue capacity amid an increase in COVID-19 deaths, while the Kansas City mayor announced he would reinstate a mask mandate for indoor spaces. Missouri has the nation’s fourth-worst COVID-19 diagnosis rate over the past week, with one in every 360 people diagnosed with COVID-19. Its seven-day rolling average of daily deaths has nearly doubled over the past two weeks, according to data from John Hopkins. Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas tweeted on Tuesday evening that he would provide details Wednesday morning on his plans to return Kansas City to a mask...

A panel of top cybersecurity officials was briefly left speechless at a congressional hearing Tuesday when Sen. Ted Cruz asked why China had not been sanctioned over a brazen cyber attack on Microsoft Exchange email server software and other attacks. The officials, from Justice Department, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, and the FBI, were testifying at a Judiciary Committee hearing titled 'America Under Siege: Preventing and Responding to Ransomware Attacks.' Much of the conversation centered on Russia, which the U.S. says at a minimum harbors those who have conducted spectacular ransomware attacks. But Cruz, a Texas Republican, pressed officials...

China is building a second huge missile silo base which will allow Beijing to 'significantly' expand its nuclear arsenal, researchers say. The new 300 square-mile base has been uncovered in the desert near the town of Hami, northern Xinjiang province, with 14 silos currently under construction. But researchers believe the site could eventually expand to 110 silos, each one of which can be filled with a missile carrying up to three nuclear warheads.

Just for trusting the Chinese dictatorship Dr. Fauci should retire.

Senate negotiators have reached agreement on the major components of a $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill, clearing the way for a procedural vote on Wednesday to move toward formal debate and passage, a Republican lawmaker said. 'We now have agreement on the major issues. We are prepared to move forward,' Senator Rob Portman, the lead Republican negotiator in infrastructure talks, told reporters after a meeting with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. The deal brings possible action on a major spending priority for the president, who has long touted his decades spent in the Senate and his ability to bring Democrats...

COVID-19 school shutdowns have left K-12 students five months behind in math and four months behind in reading by the end of academic year, damning research has revealed. A new report from McKinsey & Company has shone a light on the toll pandemic-related school closures have taken on children across America as many spent the best part of a year with no in-person teaching. Disadvantaged students faced the hardest setbacks, with children in the lowest household income groups finishing the year seven months behind in math and six months in reading.

Joe Biden signaled to press again on Wednesday that he won't answer questions that stray off topic as he refused to answer a question about potential military vaccine mandates at a 'Buy American' event in Pennsylvania. 'I'm talking about Made in America today, that's all I'm going to talk about,' Biden said as a member of the media yelled questions at the president when he deplaned Air Force One on Wednesday. 'Tomorrow I'll talk about whatever you want to talk about, including COVID,' he added.

If you’re going to sacrifice your career to serve on this panel, you might as well come to play. We cannot leave the violence of January 6th — and its causes — uninvestigated. The American people deserve the full and open testimony of every person with knowledge of the planning and preparation for January 6th. We must know what happened here at the Capitol. We must also know what happened every minute of that day in the White House — every phone call, every conversation, every meeting leading up to, during, and after the attack. Honorable men and women have...

A Washington, D.C. judge has ruled that the conservative think tank the Competitive Enterprise Institute cannot be held responsible for an outside blogger’s 2012 online attack on a prominent climate scientist. At the same time, the judge decided that a jury should decide whether the blogger, Rand Simberg, should be held liable for his post, which excoriated Pennsylvania State University climatologist Michael Mann and suggested that he had engaged in fraud. Mark Steyn, an outside blogger for the National Review, another conservative publication, also should face a trial over his own post, two days after Simberg’s, Superior Court Judge Alfred...
