Limiting online discussion to a civilized tone…

…is policy elsewhere as exampled by “Starlinks” own policies (click here). I dare say excluding communication via social media of violence and hate is not censorship, it is civil behavior.

Find the BATS that infected the animals.

I have yet to find a study that goes into the habitat of the animals at the market. I have a strong suspicion there are bats that share the same habitat. If that is the case, then these animals may be eating the bats, but, the more likely answer is that the bats are biting the animals. Bat guano can be a very toxic substance. If these animals are walking through it or exposed to it in any way, they can contract the virus in the feces. 

If the bats are found to be infected with the virus found in the animals then it is an open and shut case.

This market was where SARS-CoV-1 began in the 2002-2004 outbreak.

Many of the first COVID-19 cases (click here) to be identified were linked to Wuhan’s Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market. Some studies have reasoned that people brought the virus to the market, where they passed it on to others, while other studies have suggested that the market was the site of the first spillover events, in which animals with the virus first infected people1. Although these earlier studies established the presence of animals susceptible to the virus that causes COVID-19, and the virus itself, at the market, they were not able to confirm that the animals were infected with the virus2.

“The missing link in the whole zoonotic story has been the animal,” says Edward Holmes, a virologist at the University of Sydney in Australia. “If you can show there are infected animals at the market, then the story is complete,” he says, referring specifically to animals infected with a progenitor of SARS-CoV-2.

The latest analysis suggests that infected animals were at the market at the same time that early cases of COVID-19 emerged there. “This is one more piece of indirect evidence that suggests a connection of the origin of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic with the Huanan market,” says Christian Drosten, a virologist at the Charité University Hospital in Berlin....

Growth and Development of a child is to lead to an adult body or otherwise known as secondary sex characteristics.

(click here for image)

Why do children not show secondary sex characteristics until after a decade of life? The reason for that is a gland no one ever discusses. The pineal gland is located in the central regions of the brain and for most of it's active life, it suppresses secondary sex characteristics of male and female. When the child starts to show secondary sex characteristics they will have begun to produce hormones that provide for growth and change in the body of a human being.

...The pineal gland (click here) inhibits gonadal development and regulates menstruation, adrenal function, and thyroid function. It is innervated by sympathetic nerves from the superior cervical ganglion that release norepinephrine to increase the pineal gland’s melatonin secretion. Light stimuli thereby reach the pineal gland from the retina via a polysynaptic pathway and affect the production of the neuroendocrine substance, melatonin. Melatonin, a derivative of serotonin, is essential in regulating circadian rhythms in endocrine gland activity and produces an antigonadal effect through the hypothalamic-hypophyseal axis. The production of melatonin is inhibited by light. Apparently, in many animals the major function of the pineal gland is to regulate the reproductive cycle; in fall and winter when days are short, more melatonin is produced, causing a gonad-suppressing effect....

There is basically little difference in male and female gender traits until the hormones start to be secreted. Associate Justice Clarence Thomas wants to know what occurs when a child is transgender and given hormones. Realizing that children are gonadally suppressed for their first decade of life and only have overt organ differences the hormones introduced to the child will begin to build their understanding of their sexuality. 

For transgender children it is important to begin their secondary sex characteristics at the time cisgender children are beginning theirs. There is no reason to delay their growth and development as the gender they identify with for very good cause. They want to be feeling normal for the way they identify. There is nothing wrong with wanting to feel like a boy if that is how a child identifies. As a matter of fact, for healthy adulthood a child should be growing into their adult bodies from the time the hormones tell them so. In the case of transgender children they need assistance in achieving the goal their genetics tell them is right and healthy.

So, while Justice Thomas is confused about the effects of hormones on children of different gender, what he doesn't get is the fact late childhood and early adolescence is the perfect time to start the hormones for that child. It matters a great deal that the children grow up knowing their bodies as they identify. 

This is not a valid point of view for any practice of law.

To say, introducing hormones to a transgender child that will allow them to begin their NORMAL growth and development of their secondary sex characteristics is wrong is COMPLETE AND ABSOLUTE ignorance of the natural state of the human body. 

Here again, the political right wing is sticking their nose into business that is exclusively the practice of medicine. They pull the same stunt with abortion.

The law will never change a transgender child into a cisgender child. It is correct and prudent the transgender child receive their hormones when they need them. Human beings grow into their adult bodies all along the path of elementary school, junior high school, and high school. It is abusive to IMPOSE a female body on a transgender child that identifies as male.  

Targeted. That is not good.

The USA hasn’t had business leaders targeted since Ted Kaczynski.

I am wondering who died that UnitedHealthcare didn’t cover? 

There is no excuse for murder. It is just that civility seems to have disappeared in some ways in the USA. It seems at times like this there is a clear motive involved which acts through the righteous self-decisions of being a judge, jury, and executioner.

The MAGA folks are all about the “Larkin Riley Act.” They think that an undocumented person should be deported immediately. Before a trial I suppose. But, shoplifting? 

The Big Reveal

The dysfunctional Trumpers are anticipating “The Big Reveal” by every appointed federal employee. See, the deep state has been hiding its true workings for centuries and finally with this Trump presidency the real truth will be known. 

It is a rewrite of history.

Any person making testimony before the USA House or Senate needs to have rock solid proof of any statement they make, should never provide opinion outside of that proof and must use the 5th Amendment at every opportunity.

The USA House and Senate Committees will have their own facts. In the case of someone like Hunter Biden they will state he is perjuring himself and look to issue warrants and make arrests for factless reasons. 

No one should ever compromise themselves under the returning Trump administration. It is and will be perilous.

Nothing is allowed to be this cute.

Congratulations, Nebraska. Just in time for the holidays.

Hunter Biden is a human being and not a strategy. This is a bit of a “hate Biden” phenomenon that needs to stop.

When Hunter Biden was ridiculously charged nearly every prosecutor in the country said it was excessive. And it was. All the MAGA Bozos screamed “unfair and privileged” in unison. The charges were rearranged for the convenience of politics. President Biden has no choice but to remove Hunter from the fraying political stability of the USA. Politics under Trump is about powerful hubris that is bad for the country.

The Biden family has sacrificed their retirement and private life to save this country of the ravages of four years of corruption and incompetency. President Biden wasn’t appreciated because Wall Street hates the Middle Class. They love exploiting the Middle Class for their hard earned money, but, worker’s rights, family and medical leave, unions, and healthcare are expenses Wall Street rather not have.

Joe was a huge proponent for policy that would help the climate crisis. The petroleum industry was not his favorite constituent or crony.

Joe Biden improved the solidarity and tenacity of unions. Unions and the people did better with Joe Biden in office. 

Hunter Biden was a political pawn on trumped up charges that were allowed to exist for too long. As soon as normal lawyering discontinued, the president should have pardoned him. 

The prisoners Trump is about to unleash into civilized society are those responsible for the damage to the Capital, the assault against Congress with intention to kill its leaders, the deaths of police officers, and interruption of a lawful and Constitutional meeting to the peaceful transition of the power of the president.

The pardoning of Hunter Biden is a relief to Americans in knowing he will not be harmed by revenge politics any longer.

There is nothing wrong with President Biden’s legacy. He had a historic presidency. There has never been nor any promise of a Presidential Cabinet so diverse with so many accomplishments. Native Americans were recognized in their leadership and speaking in their native language at formal, official ceremonies. That is only the beginning to the accomplishments of the Biden administration.

AGAIN.

I wish Jill and Joe and their family happiness

and peace.

Honestly. Where is the dignity of this country valued?

Jerks!

Trump’s nominees…

… how blatantly corrupt he is and how incompetent a president he will be. Trump is a figure head for MAGA and nothing more. He is dangerous to the people and allies. 

He is not a president, but, a vehicle for anyone in his favor be it friend or enemy. He is strange to world order as he treats enemies as friends and friends as enemies.

The Biden Family should know peace.

(Click here)

I am happy for the family, but, especially Hunter. He has recovered from terrible loss in his life. He has earned the right to have a life without political harassment. I wish him and the Biden family well.

Don’t think twice about it, Joe. There is another president-elect that will harm the country using that same power of the president to release those that hate. No one has ever proven that Hunter hurt anyone but himself.

I have no doubt Trump will try to plot against Hunter for pure sport. President Biden is doing the right and best thing for the country.

Otherwise known as anarchy.

Cancel Culture started long before 2010. It is a social media phenomena that began almost immediately with “My Space” and “Facebook.” 

Cancel Culture is synonymous with the word discipline. It is the precursor to bullying.

Isn’t the right rather prejudiced in labeling issues and people as cancelled?

I think so.

What do they call their movement of conversation therapy to reverse gender identity of the LGBTQ community? That is not cancel culture? It most definitely is exactly cancel culture. So why is it okay to cancel out a human beings gender identity, but, not anything else?

Nepotism is viewed as a catalyst to hostile work environments.

Patel? Very political. He kissed the ring.

Patel was the ghost writer for the Nunes Memo. He tried to discredit a 22 year career veteran of M16. 

Patel is Anti-Mueller. Bob Mueller? Cutting edge anti-terrorism FBI Director. Patel cut his teeth under Mueller’s leadership. Then he became political for whatever reason he did.

It is royalty, you understand?

(Click here)

That is the delusion Trump operates under. If one looks to British royals they serve as international liaisons for the sovereign. Trump takes example from that lineage to pretend to be the equivalent to the Royals. 

Trump is very delusional with many things. Believing he is more than a president, but, the dictatorial equivalent to a sovereign. 

The Brits (click here) had it figured out. Trump’s first trip to the UK was a complete disaster. He disrespected protocol and made a laughing stock of the USA. So, Charles and Camilla went to great lengths the next time to hem Trump in by treating him, not as a president, but, as a king. And it worked. Trump and Melanie behaved themselves. 

If the people of the USA are expecting a “normal” presidency from Trump they are in for a surprise. He has many personality disorders and the nepotism is all part of it.

It is just a shame Trump has to be interrupted to rubber stamp outrageous demands of his donors through his cabinet staff. He much rather eat his hamburger and watch FOX News than have to keep everyone happy with him. Everyone is supposed to be making him happy.

It is all a bunch more of tough talkin’ bullshit.

Lies, corruption, and monopolies

(Click here) If the loan to Rivian was a political strategy it would have delivered Georgia to the Democrats. President Biden and the DOJ have been targeting monopolies and Rivian is a healthy addition to the EV market. Rivian is as much a competitor to the major automakers as well. The only sea is to get the American people up and running on affordable EVs. Rivian is a welcome part of that. 

That said, it appears as though the czars of government spending aren’t interested in trimming pork or consolidating agencies that might have too much middle management. They are interested in putting their thumbs on the scale to serve their own interests. That is obvious corruption, and very illegal. I do believe it is racketeering. That is where the Trump presidency is headed. Self serving use of the budget belonging to the people, not Trump.

It would be vital for Trump to control the FBI by loyalty in order to carry out the level of corruption he intends, including those by corrupt Congressmen like Zinke. 

Whatever happened to childhood?

Elon Musk is such a jerk.

It is hard to believe such a talented and gifted man can be a jerk, but, Musk is. 

He would let Grimes not see one of her children while being divorced. He not only hurt her, but, three children. Grimes has three lovely babies, two with surrogates. Those children were hurt by him during some of their most formative years, 0-5.

Grimes was so cute about the children, she said, “Babies are like ten thousand philosophy classes… (Click here)” And they are. A parent can prepare all they want, but, it isn’t until the baby is born does the responsibility make itself real along with the personality of each child.

But, Grimes was so correct in her awakening to parenthood there are entire philosophies valued today recognizing the changes an adult goes through when deciding to be a parent (Click here). 

If that wasn’t enough Musk is trying to turn the tables on a national hero to benefit Putin. Alexander Vindman (Click here). Alexander Vindman came forward as a whistleblower to protect national security as well as the security of allies. Now, Musk is having a temper tantrum to silence Vindman. 

Alexander Vindman, whose brother is a recently elected member of the U.S. House, believes Musk has already passed on classified documents to iRIussia. I would not be the least bit surprised as he flys machines to and from the ISS.

DC

President Biden should have a special list of whistleblowers to pardon from the Trump years. Vindman wasn’t alone, I think there one or two from the FDA regarding drug price gouging, and there are most certainly others.

While on the subject of flying machines, Musk has never flown in his own or anyone else’s either. I don’t know what he is afraid of, drinking recycled urine, organ damage fromHk solar radiation that requires dialysis, or a loss in cognitive ability in space. 

It is easy for the pot to call the kettle black when an American oligarch is guilty as sin of being a USA national security threat. 

Donald John Trump cares about nothing but personal greed.

(Click here)

Please get this right if you don’t get anything else right. Trump does not love this country and worry about national security. He will put our worst enemy in power if he can get what he wants.

THE USA IS A VEHICLE FOR TRUMP AND ABSOLUTELY NOTHING MORE.

What does Trump expect?

(Click here)

Trump is a nasty talking man making all kinds of threats himself. He is not making friends, that’s for sure. 

These are mostly nuisance issues. Death threats should always be checked out and people apprehended that carried out the threat.

Trump and his minions need to behave and stop making threats themselves. They need to prepare for the nomination hearings. The campaign is over. Time to govern.

There are people fleeing this country in fear of their lives and happiness after Trump won the election.

Ellen DeGeneres (click here) and wife Portia de Rossi have reportedly left the US and settled down in Cotswolds in the UK.

Trump has an adverse effect on people. This is Cher Bono's statement about her past experience with Trump in office.

The iconic singer (click here) Cher had previously wanted to leave US if Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump gets reelected in the year 2024 while citing the toll his previous presidency took on her health. According to Blast, Cher asserted in an interview that, ‘I almost got an ulcer the last time’ while indicating her serious intent to flee if Donald Trump returns to power....

On her Facebook account Cher appearing in a picture with her son Chaz stated they were considering moving out of the USA. Chaz is getting married and purchased a home. That may stem Cher's point of view.

Cher's son Chaz Bono (click here) is moving to a new house in Hollywood with his fiancée as moving trucks arrived to pack up their home.

Chaz, 55, and his longtime partner Shara Blue Mathes were spotted directing movers at their soon-to-be-former home in West Hollywood on September 7.

The pair are moving to a $2.5 million house just a few miles away as they prepare to live as a married couple after their upcoming wedding....

There are many famous people considering leaving the USA because of Trump and his bad attitude. These are not mentally unstable people. They are loved stars that has brought the people of the USA a lot of entertainment and good times.

There is no excuse for anyone in this country feeling so very threatened with the loss of freedom and potential abuse by authority. But, because Trump has ideology that is Anti-American people are leaving. 

There are average people leaving as well. 

Trump is a terrifying figure and there is no doubt about it. So, if his nominees to office are experiencing unpleasantness on their way to power, they should not be surprised at all. Donald John Trump is mostly hated. The MAGA people may laugh at that reality, but, there is nothing to say Trump won't turn against them, too.

After Donald Trump's victory (click here) over Kamala Harris in the US elections, several high-profile Hollywood celebrities have expressed their intentions to leave the US.
