Missouri and five other states on Thursday threw their support even further behind the Texas lawsuit aiming to prevent Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin's electors from casting their electoral votes by asking the Supreme Court to let them join the Texas suit. 

Missouri led a group of 17 states in filing a brief that supported the Texas lawsuit, which alleges that the four key swing states that voted for President-elect Joe Biden violated the Constitution by having their judicial and executive branches make changes to their presidential elections rather than their legislatures. 

But the Thursday filing led by Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, which also includes Arkansas, Utah, Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina, would make those states parties before the court in the case rather than just outside voices weighing in. President Trump's campaign did the same on Wednesday. 

"The intervening states do not doubt that plaintiff state of Texas will vigorously and effectively litigate this case, but the attorney general of each individual state is best situated to represent the interests of that state and its people," the six states said in their request. 

Vaccines...

 

May be the Pfizer's Vaccines rolling down in major cities would be the help we need, the hope that we have never lost. So... let us keep hope alive.  Just a thought.

Lentils...

 

Beans reign supreme in Blue Zones and are the cornerstone of every longevity diet in the world: Black beans in Nicoya; lentils, garbanzo and white beans in the Mediterranean; and soybeans in Okinawa.

Most centenarians eat at least four times as many beans as Americans do on average  at least a half cup per day. And so should you. 

Beans are packed with more nutrients per gram than any other food on Earth.

On average, they are made up of 21% protein, 77% complex carbohydrates, and only a few percent fat. Because they are fiber-rich and satisfying, they'll likely help to push less healthy foods out of your diet.

Moderna..

 

There was one piece of data in Moderna's late-stage results that just might give it an advantage over BNT162b2. The biotech said that there were 30 severe cases of COVID-19 observed in its clinical study. All of those cases occurred in the group of participants receiving placebo with none in the group receiving mRNA-1273.

Pfizer and BioNTech announced that 10 severe cases of COVID-19 were observed in its late-stage study. Nine of those occurred in the placebo group with one in the group vaccinated with BNT162b2.

Pfizer and BioNTech designed special thermal shippers filled with dry ice that maintain the needed temperature. These shippers can be used as temporary storage units for up to 15 days by refilling with more dry ice as needed.

Moderna's mRNA-1273 is a messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccine like BNT162b2. It also initially required ultracold storage. However, Moderna modified its approach to address this issue. 

Its coronavirus vaccine can now remain stable at temperatures between 36 degrees and 46 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 days. This means that standard refrigerators can be used to store mRNA-1273. The vaccine also will remain stable at minus four degrees Fahrenheit for up to six months and at room temperature for up to 12 hours. 

OnlyFan...

A mom of three who was cleared of knowingly having sex with a boy who was only 14 now plans to capitalize on her notoriety by peddling images and videos on a raunchy website, according to a report.

“I’m thinking about doing an OnlyFans account. People already hate me, so not much to lose,” Teah Vincent announced in an Instagram video, the Sun reported.

OnlyFans is a subscription site where subscribers pay to view content deemed too X-rated for social media.

Vincent, 32, admitted to initiating sex with the teen after inviting him and a pal into her Glousterceshire home.

The mom insisted she thought he was 16, the legal age of consent in the UK.

She said in an online rant that she hopes the teen’s family “gets karma,” The Sun reported.

Lizards...

 

While Tesla has received strong government support for its project to build a massive electric vehicle factory outside of Berlin, Germany, the automaker has run into some issues with local environmentalist groups due to the need to clear a large part of the forest in Brandenburg in order to build the plant.

The automaker already cleared 90 acres, and it is committed to planting three times as many trees as it cuts down throughout the process.

During the first phase of deforestation, Tesla had to move endangered bats in order to proceed..

The Brandenburg Nature Conservation Union (Nabu) have filed a lawsuit to stop the process and the court ordered Tesla to temporarily stop the deforestation until a final decision.

The issue apparently revolves around lizards and snakes in the forest that Tesla were supposed to move before starting to clear trees.

Fund raising...

 

Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., is keeping quiet about his past relationship with a woman suspected of acting as a Chinese spy.

Axios reported that a Chinese national named Christine Fang targeted up-and-coming local politicians, including Swalwell. Fang reportedly helped fundraise for Swalwell's 2014 campaign and helped place at least one intern in his office.

In fact, a former intelligence official told Fox News the Chinese for years have sent spies to “sleep with lesser-known members of Congress and staffers.”

Fang's relationships with at least two Midwestern mayors turned sexual, according to Axios, with at least two incidents being caught by FBI surveillance.  

Fang also volunteered for the 2014 House bid of Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., and a 2013 fundraiser for Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii. Khanna’s office said the congressman saw Fang at several gatherings but had no further contact, while Gabbard’s office told the outlet she "has no recollection of ever meeting or talking with [Fang], nor any recollection of her playing a major role at the fundraiser.”

Too Tall...

 

The search for a serial bank robber dubbed the "Too Tall Bandit," who has eluded law enforcement for at least 11 years, has heated up again after he struck twice in November following an apparent two-year hiatus, according to the FBI.

The menacing criminal, who FBI officials suspect is responsible for holding up 16 banks and a pharmacy since 2009 in South Carolina, Tennessee and, most recently, western North Carolina, has been described by terrorized victims as being up to 6-foot-8-inches tall, weighing 250 pounds, and has a collection of Halloween-type masks.

“We’re just hoping someone can give us that tip we need to identify him before someone gets hurt. It is definitely a concern," Shelley Lynch, spokesperson for the FBI field office in Charlotte, North Carolina, told ABC News.
