Concocted...
Gordon Sondland, the Trump-appointed European Union ambassador at the center of the House impeachment inquiry, is facing accusations that he forcibly kissed and exposed himself in front of three women over a decade ago.
In a report published by ProPublica and Portland Monthly, the women alleged in specific detail how Sondland made unwanted sexual advances. All three alleged victims also say Sondland retaliated against them professionally after they rebuffed him.
Sondland vehemently denied the accusations, calling them “concocted.
"He also claimed at least one of the women, Nicole Vogel — the owner and publisher of Portland Monthly — has ulterior motives in accusing him of sexual misconduct.
Every political issue appears to go nationally , there are always a story of sexual misconduct. And I don't think this will help any issue whatsoever.
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.
