UFO..

 

The coming debate will be anything but the inflation, the economy, Migrants, and the war everywhere.  Just a thought.

Access..

The Supreme Court on Thursday unanimously preserved access to a medication that was used in nearly two-thirds of all abortions in the U.S. last year, in the court’s first abortion decision since conservative justices overturned Roe v. Wade two years ago.

The nine justices ruled that abortion opponents lacked the legal right to sue over the federal Food and Drug Administration’s approval of the medication, mifepristone, and the FDA’s subsequent actions to ease access to it. The case had threatened to restrict access to mifepristone across the country, including in states where abortion remains legal.

The high court is separately considering another abortion case, about whether a federal law on emergency treatment at hospitals overrides state abortion bans in rare emergency cases in which a pregnant patient’s health is at serious risk.

Koshary..

Koshary is to Egyptian cuisine as the pyramids are to its culture. Emblematic. Iconic. Beloved.

Also spelled koshari or kushari (those pesky transliterations from Arabic script!), it is widely considered Egypt's national dish. Rice, lentils (black or brown), chickpeas and pasta are cooked individually, then tossed together and topped with cumin-scented tomato sauce and crunchy fried onions. 

Things get kicked up a notch with condiments of garlicky vinegar and a peppery hot sauce called shatta. Heavily laden with carbs, fiber, and calories, a plate of koshary fills up even the hungriest of stomachs for just a few Egyptian pounds.  

 While no one can say for sure where koshary came from, everyone has an opinion on where to eat it.  Just a thought.

Yahu..

 The White House reportedly canceled a high-level meeting with Israeli officials in rebuke to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after he accused the U.S. of withholding military aid in a video released.

According to Axios, the meeting, set up for a strategic discussion on Iran, was axed after Netanyahu’s protest angered President Joe Biden’s top advisers.

 Some Israeli officials were already en route to Washington when the decision was made.

“This decision makes it clear that there are consequences for pulling such stunts,” a U.S. official told Axios.

 Privately, according to sources, Biden’s team was incensed by what they saw as Netanyahu’s ingratitude.

Still the killing continues in Gaza.  Just a thought. 

You too..

 

Memory..

 

Conservative media outlets selectively used a camera angle that left out important context to spread a claim Thursday and Friday that President Joe Biden wandered off from a meeting of world leaders, but the full video at another angle captured by NBC News tells a different story.

Instead of wandering off, Biden was walking toward a group of parachutists who had just landed in an Italian clearing and gave them two thumbs-up. 

Comment:
The DOJ special counsel  Robert Hur's politically damaging suggestion that, in deciding whether to prosecute, he had considered that Biden would likely present himself to a jury as a "sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory." Just a thought.

Hur..

 

Seized on by the news media in the immediate scramble to report was the sentence: "Our investigation uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen."

And then came Hur's politically damaging suggestion that, in deciding whether to prosecute, he had considered that Biden would likely present himself to a jury as a "sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory."

A closer look at the rest of the report, though, shows despite Hur's "willfully retained and disclosed" assertion there were other innocent explanations that couldn't be ruled out.

However Biden keeps saying no one is above the law. So if he has poor memory not to be charged, however for the same thing Donald Trump is being charged.

Does this mean that Biden is an elderly man with poor memory, No charges- but Trump is not an elderly man and has a better memory?

 What are we saying here? Just a thought.

Nuts..

Whether you prefer peanuts, almonds or cashews, nuts are generally a nutritious snack choice.

According to Healthline, they are a great source of:

• Antioxidants, Fiber, Healthy fats, Protein.

 Almonds are rich in vitamin E and aid with cellular communication and immune function.  

• Brazil nuts are a great source of selenium — a mineral used to support metabolism and thyroid function, per Healthline.
• Pecans are rich in zinc, which helps support immune function and DNA synthesis. In addition, they significantly reduced LDL cholesterol.
• Walnuts are a significant source of copper, which is used in the body for energy production and blood vessel development.

The bottom line: Most nuts are healthy — but it’s advised to eat them in moderation.

Fruits..

 

We know that people who consume more fruits and vegetables, or eat more plant-based or entirely plant-based, have much better cardiovascular outcomes, meaning that they have fewer heart attacks and strokes,” Dr. Andrew Freeman, director of cardiovascular prevention and wellness at National Jewish Health in Denver, tells TODAY.com.

“People just really need to load up, and every single meal should be containing fruits and vegetables.”

All the risk factors for atherosclerosis, the plaque build-up that hardens and narrows arteries are improved when a person’s diet is full of fruits and vegetables, adds Dr. Sean Heffron, a cardiologist in the Center for the Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease at NYU Langone Health in New York.

“It’s beneficial from a blood pressure standpoint, but also a weight maintenance standpoint and cholesterol standpoint,” Heffron says.  Just a thought.

Intense..

 

The U.S.-led campaign against the Houthi rebels, overshadowed by the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip, has turned into the most intense running sea battle the Navy has faced since World War II, its leaders and experts told The Associated Press.

The combat pits the Navy's mission to keep international waterways open against a group whose former arsenal of assault rifles and pickup trucks has grown into a seemingly inexhaustible supply of drones, missiles and other weaponry. 

Near-daily attacks by the Houthis since November have seen more than 50 vessels clearly targeted, while shipping volume has dropped in the vital Red Sea corridor that leads to the Suez Canal and into the Mediterranean.

 Comment:

So whatever the US campaign against the Houthis is a high cost and is not working    Can we use a different methodology.   Just a thought.
