Dominance...

 

Speaking at at the Conservative Political Act, Trump’s first major address since the end of his presidency, served as formal notice of his continued dominance over the Republican Party and a return to campaign form for the former president.

For roughly 90 minutes, Trump chastised “top establishment Republicans,” “RINO’s” and other Republicans who have criticized him. Banned from Twitter, he said Big Tech companies “should be punished with major sanctions whenever they silence conservative voices.” And in a wide-ranging critique of Biden’s first month in office.

“None of us even imagined just how bad they would be and how far left they would go,” Trump said, calling the Biden administration “anti-jobs, anti-family, anti-borders, anti-energy, anti-women and anti-science.”

“In just one short month, we have gone from ‘America First’ to ‘America Last,’” Trump said.

Never...

 

Crime...

 

Moderate...

 

Mood...

 

We all have heard details on how exercise improves musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, metabolic and other aspects of health. What you may not know is how this happens within the brain.

Working out regularly really does change the brain biology, and it is not just “go walk and you will just feel better.” Regular exercise, especially cardio, does change the brain. Contrary to what some may think, the brain is a very plastic organ. Not only are new neuronal connections formed every day, but also new cells are generated in important areas of the brain. One key area is the hippocampus, which is involved in learning and memory and regulating negative emotions.

A molecule called brain-derived neurotrophic factor helps the brain produce neurons, or brain cells. A variety of aerobic and high-intensity interval training exercises significantly increase BDNF levels. There is evidence from animal research that these changes are at epigenetic level, which means these behaviors affect how genes are expressed, leading to changes in the neuronal connections and function.

Moderate exercise also seems to have anti-inflammatory effects, regulating the immune system and excessive inflammation. This is important, given the new insight neuroscience is gaining into the potential role of inflammation in anxiety and depression.

Finally, there is evidence for the positive effects of exercise on the neurotransmitters – brain chemicals that send signals between neurons – dopamine and endorphins. Both of these are involved in positive mood and motivation.

Accusation...

 

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is denying allegations from a former aide who accused him of sexual harassment, including an unwanted kiss, in a Medium post on Wednesday.

Lindsey Boylan alleged that in 2018, the Democratic governor kissed her on the lips following a one-on-one briefing in his New York City office.

"As I got up to leave and walk toward an open door, he stepped in front of me and kissed me on the lips," Boylan wrote, describing the encounter. "I was in shock, but I kept walking." Boylan first accused the governor of sexual harassment in a Twitter thread in December.

The Media currently without materials so here it is something they can bounce it back and forth. Just a thought.

I'M...

 

Since Donald Trump left the office. the Media is looking around and finding materials everywhere. This time Governor Cuomo, can't blame the Federal Government or the president.  The Fake Media can't blame President Biden. It is a difficult choice indeed. To report or not to report.  Just a thought.

McConnell...

 

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Thursday he would “absolutely” support former President Donald Trump if he won the GOP’s 2024 presidential nominee.

“Well there’s a lot to happen between now and ’24,” McConnell said in an interview with Fox News. “I’ve got at least four members that I think are planning to run for president plus some governors and others; There’s no incumbent, a wide-open race and should be fun for you all to cover.”

Logic...

 

Iraq...

President Biden celebrates the lives of those Americans who died from Covid 19 Virus- 500.000 Americans so far.. Very sad indeed.

On the other hand, not a tear was shed on any of the 500,000  Iraqi's death as a result of the US invasion of Iraq, nor those who are injured.

 We can put that into the context of the U.S. population, which was more than 10 times as large at the outset of the Iraq war.

• 2004: 4.5 out of every 10,000 Iraqis killed. Equivalent to 130,000 American deaths — the population of McKinney, Tex., in 2010.
• 2005: 6.1 out of every 10,000 Iraqis killed. Equivalent to 181,000 American deaths — like eliminating Tallahassee.
• 2006: 10.7 out of every 10,000 Iraqis. Equivalent to 318,000 American deaths — the population of St. Louis.
• 2007: 9.2 out of every 10,000 Iraqis. Equivalent to 277,000 American deaths — the population of Newark.

We bolded the key phrase: About 400,000 deaths were probably attributable to the conflict from 2003 to 2011, about 240,000 of them a result of violence and 160,000 from war-related causes. The 240,000-death estimate caused by the conflict is about twice the IBC estimate. (That study also estimated an additional 55,000 deaths among Iraqis who fled the country during the conflict.)

That takes us only to 2011. In the seven years since, IBC estimates, there were 82,000 additional deaths resulting from the conflict in Iraq — just among civilians.

It seems likely that the death toll in the past 15 years easily exceeded half a million Iraqis, but how much higher is hard to determine.
