Richard Nixon was a criminal, too.

The reason he never stood for trial is because he was pardoned by then President Gerald Ford. The Robert’s Court has no right to interfere with criminal prosecutions of presidents that turn criminal. 

The DOJ is raising awareness.

U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris (click here) visits the memorial outside a dance studio where a mass shooting took place on Lunar New Year’s Eve on Jan. 25, 2023, in Monterey Park, Calif. 

Attorney General Merrick B. Garland (click here) and Director Steven M. Dettelbach of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) dedicated a new “Faces of Gun Violence” exhibit today at a ceremony hosted during ATF’s Inaugural Gun Violence Survivors’ Summit. The exhibit honors and memorializes those whose lives have been tragically lost to gun violence.

“As we remember those we have lost to gun violence, the Justice Department promises that we will strive every single day to honor their lives in our work,” said Attorney General Merrick B. Garland. “We promise that we will not rest until every family, every law enforcement agent, and every community is safe from the devastation of gun violence. As our dedicated ATF agents pass by the ‘Faces of Gun Violence’ exhibit every day, it will stand as a powerful monument to those they are fighting for.”

Farmers are high tech these days.

Loren Brey, (click here) a poultry grower in Minnesota, walked onto the farm where his egg-laying turkeys nest in November to discover a handful of hens, dead from the highly pathogenic avian flu.

Within a week, he lost nearly half of his entire flock.

So when Mr. Brey’s turkeys began producing eggs again in the spring, he gave a seemingly unconventional prevention method a go: lasers installed atop his barns, firing beams of green light to fend off wild ducks, owls and other possible carriers of the deadly virus....

There are bird flu vaccines for humans, but they aren’t available to the public right now.  (click here)

There are currently several states that not only have some farmers frantic about protecting their flocks, but, also cow herds are experiencing the virus. Out of that comes a concern for the milk produced by these herds. There is a concern. It is legitimate, but, there is a precaution that all Americans can understand and heed.

DO NOT USE RAW MILK PRODUCTS.

That is the concern and the warning. The pasteurized milk does not contain the avian virus.

This is not an "inject bleach" issue. The scientists at the FDA are aware of the problems and are addressing each one. They do not believe any transmission of the avian flu will occur once the milk has been pasturized.

The US Food and Drug Administration (click here) said Tuesday that it had detected viral particles of H5N1 avian influenza in milk purchased at grocery stores, but the agency says it still believes that the milk is safe to drink.

In an update about an ongoing outbreak of bird flu in cattle, the FDA noted that it believes the viral particles were detected by highly sensitive lab tests and are likely to have been remnants of viruses killed during the pasteurization process. The agency said that it does not think it is likely that the particles would able to infect people but it is conducting additional tests to be completely sure....

From the CDC site:

...The best way (click here) to prevent bird flu is to avoid sources of exposure whenever possible. Infected birds shed avian influenza viruses in their saliva, mucous, and feces and other infected animals may shed bird flu viruses in respiratory secretions and other body fluids (e.g., cow milk)....

...Cooking poultry and eggs to an internal temperature of 165˚F kills bacteria and viruses, including bird flu viruses. People should separate uncooked (raw) poultry from cooked foods and foods that won’t be cooked. Cook all poultry and poultry products (including eggs) all the way before eating. More information about safe handling and cooking of poultry can be found here: Chicken and Food Poisoning | CDC...

It is a darn shame.

But, the six consecutive justices value law over human life. The USA is entering into a new phase of oppression as exampled by the incredibly diminishing women’s rights. According to the Washington Post the Robert’s Court is about to state Idaho does not have to save a woman’s life if it means carrying out an abortion.

This court is very dangerous. Women are going to fear pregnancy if this continues. There will be more and more men having vasectomies. Is that the goal of the Robert’s Court? A sterile USA? 

It is difficult to realize a Supreme Court of this country is so immoral in most of its decisions. Letting a woman citizen perish when it is completely unnecessary is anti-American. I guess this is one way to end the Affordable Care Act; make doctors afraid of practicing. 

The Robert’s Court are human rights violators. They see words and not citizens.

Semester closes

The big crush by students at campuses across the country that want to see the end of Israel, is the end of the semester. Why not create encampments that could linger for years? Campus housing can be expensive. 

Perhaps the chancellors of the universities should declare a safety emergency, retreat to online classes for the remaining semester. Exams can be conducted off campus in controlled halls. Even the avian flu can be a reason. Nip it in the bud.
