Thanksgiving...

 

On January 6, 1941, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt delivered a speech before Congress, articulating his vision for a postwar world founded on four basic human freedoms: freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom from want, and freedom from fear.
So remember those who don't have as much as you do. You have been lucky.
Happy Thanksgiving

Free...

There’s been a growing global movement to “Free the Nipple” and get society, social media and the law to treat men and women’s chests equally.    

 The movement has clocked up several victories; six states (Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico, Kansas or Oklahoma) recently got rid of their bans on women being topless in public.         

The movement is bigger than breasts: it’s about treating female bodies like human bodies, not sex objects. It’s about bodily autonomy.

In Utah, which has some of the most permissive firearm laws in America, you can buy a handgun without a background check. You can openly carry a handgun without a permit. You can go grocery shopping with a pistol on your hip. But god forbid anyone see a woman’s nipples.

It depends.                Just a thought.

Fall...

Elizabeth Warren is free, free falling.

The 2020 Democratic primary candidate’s poll numbers have collapsed in recent weeks, inciting panicky headlines like, “What happened to Elizabeth Warren?” from newsrooms that have all but formally endorsed her campaign.

A new Quinnipiac survey of Democrats and “Democratic-leaners” released this week shows Warren in third place with 14% of support. She registers just behind South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg (16%), and front-runner Joe Biden (24%).

The latest Quinnipiac survey, which was conducted between Nov. 21 and 25 and surveyed 1,355 self-identified registered voters nationwide, shows a substantial and sudden decline in support compared to the polling group's previous surveys of self-identified Democrat and Democratic-leaning voters.

Support for Warren's White House bid has fallen off in surveys conducted by competing polling groups.

Vascepa...

It's long been known that eating fish — especially cold-water fish such as salmon that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids — is good for heart health.

But, for the millions of Americans who are at high risk of heart disease, eating enough fish to make a difference isn't likely to be realistic for most.

There's growing evidence that taking a very high dose of purified fish oil, delivered in a prescription pill, can help prevent heart attacks and strokes among people who have elevated risks. The amount of fish oil in the daily recommended dose of the pill is the equivalent of eating about eight to 10 servings of salmon a day.

In early November, an advisory panel to the FDA voted unanimously to approve expanded use of the prescription drug, Vascepa, which is made from one type of omega-3 fatty acid, called eicosapentaenoic acid, or EPA for short. The oil is extracted from sardines and anchovies, and then purified.

Relocate...

More than 2,000 people are expected at the Orthodox Union’s (OU) Seventh International Jewish Community Home & Job Relocation Fair that will showcase a record-breaking 63 communities from the U.S. and Israel on Sunday, Nov. 24th at the Metropolitan Pavilion at 125 West 18th Street in Manhattan from 12-6 p.m.

Families and individuals interested in relocating can learn about the amenities, schools, local infrastructure and potential employment opportunities of the participating communities. Special workshops will be available for first-time homebuyers and for those contemplating Aliyah, which will be facilitated by Nefesh b’Nefesh.

This program needs to include all New Yorkers, or may be need to relocate the politicians who are running the city and State to the ground with huge taxes.

Just a thought.

Flu...

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says flu season is starting to ramp up — and it's not too late to reduce your risk with a vaccine.

But scientists have come to realize that flu vaccines are less effective for people who are overweight or obese. Considering that excess weight affects more than two-thirds of the U.S. adult population, that's a significant shortcoming.

Disrupter...

Earlier,  Bloomberg signaled he's "still looking at" running for president, but people close to him say that the only way he could even go down that path is if Biden's fortunes suffer so much that he drops out before or during the early stages of the primary.   

Bloomberg could then enter the race as one of the rare moderates with enough name recognition and campaign funding to make a run.    

Forbes estimates his net worth at $51 billion, and he was planning to spend over $100 million on a campaign for president if he ran.

Biden didn't drop out, but he really felt the burn. The issue of Ukraine and Hunter Biden, will occupy his time and energy all through. The Democrats Impeachment process against Trump will hurt Biden's chances much more.

While Elizabeth Warren enjoyed the weakness of Biden, then she felt the burn from Bloomberg.

No wonder the great welcoming  from Elizabeth to Mike.

Just a thought.

Curley...

“People always say the longer it is, the sluttier it is." 

Specifically, referring to the sheitels, or wigs, that married Orthodox women wear as mandated by Jewish law, so as to not entice men who aren’t their husbands.

 Now a heated debate is brewing over hair that some in the community view as being too sexy.

While many are constantly battling to get the hair exactly the way they want it to look.  Most of the time, its a  fight for hours  and never seem to be satisfied

There is always that ever-looming question: to straighten it or to curl it?  Well according to men and women, curly hair is the better choice.

Choice...

• Michael R. Bloomberg formally entered the 2020 race, offering voters a “new choice.” His wealth is an advantage, but he also has political baggage. 
• The issues that led battleground-state polls to miss the mark in the last election could reappear next year, experts warn. 
• Already the other Democratic candidates are attacking Bloomberg for being rich. In reality, he will take over the first spot with speed.
• He has been independent, Republican and now Democrats. 
• Again, the Democrats  want  to defeat Trump by any means. That may be a difficult task to achieve as Bloomberg may expose how the process being conducted.

Just a thought.

Since...

And crying since.
