Revenge...

Image result for paintings of  scorned woman


When somebody betrays you, resist the urge to retaliate: Getting revenge probably won’t make you feel better in the end, new research from Washington University suggests.
That’s because revenge seems to spark a whole host of contradictory emotions—and not all of them good.

In the study, the participants read a story in which someone sought revenge. Afterwards, they reported feeling positive emotions like satisfied, pleased, and calm.  That’s likely because people believe that an important goal has been accomplished—someone had been punished for doing something wrong,  .
But the story also triggered some negative feelings just as strongly as it did positive ones. People often don’t anticipate having negative reactions to getting revenge. They think it will lead strictly to satisfaction, but it doesn’t.
These negative feelings likely arise because the act of revenge serves as a reminder of the harm the person caused in the first place which makes you feel lousy all over again.
The problem is, that awesome feeling fades quickly, leaving you potentially feeling even worse than before. 
So fight the urge to punch your ex-buddy in the face for steeling your girlfriend.  Both may have been not worth it, Move on.

Poison...

“What does Professor Christine  Blasey Ford gain by bringing forth her accusations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanauagh?”  .
She becomes a feminist icon, her professorship is burnished, she makes a fortune writing a book, enjoys lucrative lecture tours and is hailed a #MeToo heroine
It is wrong to wait over 35 years to denigrate anyone who attended that alcohol-fueled event. If Professor Ford, the alleged victim, is victorious and Judge Kavanaugh’s career and reputation go down in flames, it will hurt women in general. Christine would then epitomize the female predator waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Throughout history, starting with Eve in the Bible, women have been branded dangerous, destructive and scheming. Even the ancient Greeks, the most enlightened, intellectual people of all time, refused to teach women to read, claiming it would be “like giving poison to a snake.”
"The method Professor Ford is using to destroy a man adds credence to the opinion all females are hazardous."[Roz Heid, Baltimore- The Baltimore Sun]
When you seek vengeance, you hurt yourself as well, if not more. You are not going to feel good about hurting someone regardless if it is warranted or not. Your anger toward this person will only increase if you preoccupy yourself with revenge. ... “The best revenge is just moving on and getting over it.

The State Department says the U.S. consulate in the southern Iraqi city of Basra is being evacuated following attacks blamed on Iran-backed militias.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tweeted that Iran-supported militias "recently" launched rocket attacks against the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad and the consulate in Basra. 
Basra is Iraq's main port and one of its largest cities. Earlier this month, three Katyusha rockets were fired at the city's airport following a chaotic and violent night that saw hundreds of protesters burning tires on main streets and highways and setting ablaze the Iranian consulate in the city.
Protesters called for an end to endemic corruption, soaring joblessness and poor public services and have turned their rage on neighboring Iran, blaming its outsized influence in Iraq's political affairs for their misery.

Bob Harper 51-year-old trainer and host of The Biggest Loser was reportedly working out at a New York City gym when he collapsed. Harper was moved to a nearby hospital, where he remained unconscious for two days, according to TMZ. He was released  eight days later.
The personal trainer, who has a series of workout DVDs and online programs on Daily Burn, said that his heart attack was due to genetics.

The fitness trainer switched his diet from high in protein and fat to a more balanced approach. He stopped stressing about missing a gym day.
Most importantly, he learned he has a hereditary condition involving high levels of lipoprotein (a) in his blood, a particle that contributes to plaque in the arteries and blood clots, and can increase the risk of heart attacks.

Two years ago Gretchen, 78, had a “mini stroke”, her doctor prescribed a generic medication called telmisartan to help manage her blood pressure.
Gretchen and her husband  are insured through an Anthem Medicare plan. She ordered the telmisartan and the copay for a 90-day supply was $285.
So during a trip to Costco, she asked the pharmacist how much it would cost if paid cash.  The pharmacist told her it would cost about $40.
Insurance copays are higher than the cost of the drug about 25 percent of the time, according to a study published by the University of Southern California’s Schaeffer Center.

Squareness...

Image result for Kavanaugh cartoon
Democrats want to keep Judge Kavanaugh off the high court by any means necessary. Their modus operandi is to bring up alleged sexual assault charges late in the game to delay or derail the nomination process. 
They see it as a win-win: they either destroy Kavanaugh, discourage the Republican voter base, and deal a significant blow to the Trump presidency; or Republicans hang together in the face of this political monsoon, confirm Kavanaugh, and alienate women voters in the process, leading to Democratic victories in the midterm election.
By most accounts, Brett Kavanaugh is a straight arrow guy. He has lived an exemplary and successful life. Yet his very squareness is the foundation for the Democratic story line, the contrasting idea that Kavanaugh has a malevolent hidden history. With the new and bizarre “gang rape” claims put forward by “total lowlife” porn lawyer Michael Avenatti, the story could become the Duke Lacrosse case 2.0. It’s the Lifetime movie version of a Supreme Court confirmation hearing.
Democrats seem to think this political game won’t cost them. But they have left the reaction of men out of the equation.   [James S. Robbins, ColumnistPublished 7:07 p.m. ET Sept. 26, 2018]

Timing is every thing. The story of Ms. Ford appeared at this time with one purpose to derail the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh. This of course is supported by the democrats.

The Dems have been humiliated repeatedly in the past.
In this process, it will expose the accuser and the accused and at the end, no one will win, not even the Democrats.

A Con Game...

With Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh facing accusations of sexual assault and misconduct, President Donald Trump finds himself in a familiar place.
“Judge Brett Kavanaugh is a fine man, with an impeccable reputation, who is under assault by radical left wing politicians who don’t want to know the answers, they just want to destroy and delay. Facts don’t matter.” the president tweeted.
