Insects? Lab-Grown Meat? Are You Ready For Lab-Grown Insect Meat?

Nuclear Insect Sterilization and Other Biocides - Are We Immune?
Over the weekend I read an interesting news article (below) about using gamma radiation to bring down the population of the tsetse fly.

Why is Immigration a “Contentious Issue in Classical Liberalism”?

Alan Dershowitz Is Wrong About Impeachments
Dershowitz suggests that President Trump could appeal to the judiciary to overturn an impeachment conviction. (Photo: Matthew Kahn) President Trump has suggested periodically that the Supreme Court would intervene to block a hypothetical impeachment and trial since (he argues) he has not committed a high crime or misdemeanor. Of course, Trump does not just make this stuff up. He has actual lawyers advising him who tell him these things—among them, Rudy Giuliani, who recently tweeted that the “Supreme Court could overrule an unconstitutional impeachment.” Giuliani, in turn, was amp... more »

By Backing Al-Qaeda, Trump Continues Obama's Horrible Syria Policy
Over the weekend, President Trump tweeted a condemnation of Syria and Russia's assault on the Idlib province.

Out of 196 nations, only 24 have any fluoridation, and only 10, like the U.S., for more […] The post The World-Wide Movement Against Water Fluoridation appeared first on Children's Health Defense.

Trump fixer Alexis Tsipras faces second poll blow in a week, trounced in local elections
From The Times Conservatives triumphed in 12 out of 13 Greek regions last night and captured the majority of cities in local elections held only a month before voters are expected to elect a new parliament. The results were a devastating blow to the leftist Syriza party led by Alexis Tsipras, who became prime minister in 2015 promising to end the biting austerity demanded by Greece’s international creditors. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/alexis-tsiprass-party-trounced-in-greek-local-elections-khblswn5n

How Are Cancer Cells Like HeLA Able To Survive Evolution?
Cancer starts as a single rogue cell whose mutations then trigger aggressive growth, damaging the health of the organism. But if cancer cells were accumulating harmful mutations faster than they could be purged, wouldn't the population eventually die out? How do cancer cells avoid complete genetic meltdown? To try and find answers, researchers in a recent study probed the most famous cultured cancer cells, HeLa cells, isolated from cervical cancer victim Henrietta Lacks in 1951 and becoming the first immortalized cell line. read more
Dog Walkers: Because It Makes Them Happy
Some will say that walking a dog is a conversation starter and the fitness benefits of walking are well-known, but most who walk their dog simply enjoy it, not because of health or social benefits. Using 26 interviews combined with personal written reflections of dog walking experiences, the authors of a *International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health* paper found that while owners may say the reason they go walking is to benefit the dog, the importance of their own improved happiness and wellbeing is clear. read more
The Biggest Risk Factor For Type 2 Diabetes Is Lack Of Fitness
Though some diet book authors want to suggest certain food types have magical power - trans fats, non-nutritive sweeteners, corn syrup, sugar, etc. - the rise in type 2 diabetes does not have anything to do with soda and everything to do with energy balance. People who eat more calories than they burn on a consistent basis gain weight, and that eventually begins to hinder insulin production, which can mean type 2 diabetes. read more

Nevertheless, I'll give credit where credit is due; and I think her recent column about immigration and its implications is spot-on. (Bold, underlined text is my emphasis.)

More Evidence of the Russian Meddling Lie
[image: undefined] The American public, with the enthusiastic support of most of the media, have been sold a big lie about Russian meddling in the 2016 Presidential election. As I have noted in previous pieces, there was nothing new nor special nor unique about Russian espionage activities inside the United States, including information and computer network operations, in 2016. Russian espionage and covert action against the United States has been a matter of fact since 1919. And the United States has been similarly engaged in such activities inside Russia.

The unlearned have often rushed in where the learned feared to tread, and it is the credulous who are tempted to attempt the impossible. Where you see a revolution taking place without revolutionaries there the vulgar and the ignorant are at work. They know not whither they are going, and give chance a chance.

Want to Kill Facebook and Google? Preserving Section 230 Is Your Best Hope
Eric Goldman You probably feel antipathy towards Facebook and Google. Most people do. Yet, as incumbents with extraordinary amounts of wealth, it sometimes feels like Facebook and Google are impervious both to competition and regulation. Indeed, regulators have limited tools to corral Facebook and Google in part due to 47 U.S.C. §230 (Section 230), which immunizes online services from many types of liability for third-party content they republish. This immunity supplements the First Amendment’s speech and press protections, but Section 230 does more than promote free speech. The im... more »

This Is Not A Secret Military Base Near Area 51 (It Is An Art Project)
Area 51 *Warzone/The Drive*:* No, This Bizarre Installation Near Area 51 Is Not A Secret Military Base* It may not be hiding aliens or flying saucers, but the extremely unique project is highly intriguing and culturally relevant in its own right. The sprawling Nevada Test And Training Range is an incredibly intriguing place full of strange man-made oddities that has long been a canvas for individuals to paint their wildest dreams and biggest fears upon due to the classified nature of much of what goes on there. But not everything within its bounds or in its vicinity is some milit... more »
Mr Impartiality

WHY IS THE NEW YORK TIMES HELPING FOX WOO ADVERTISERS?
Fox News has been lobbying Democratic primary candidates to try to persuade them to appear on the channel. It's also been lobbying the rest of the media -- you know, the folks its core audience regards as "fake news" -- in the hope of obtaining favorable coverage. I understand why a Democratic candidate might want to appear on Fox, even though I wouldn't if I were running. I *don't* understand why a rival news organization would want to help a competitor build its audience and increase its ad revenue. Under the rules of capitalism, that makes no sense. But "liberal media" self-hate ... more »

*Save your money on private school – DNA will decide whether your child does well at school not quality of education, leading geneticist claims* *Plomin is basically right. But a disorderly school can prevent a child from acquiring the knowledge he needs to pass exams. So that would normally require either a move to an area with better government schools or sending the kid to a private school.But for many people top exam results are not sought. Medium achievement may be more socially acceptable and a pleasant, safe and peaceful school environment may be the aim. But again... more »

blow: t seems to me that Trump is feeling especially vulnerable whenever he folds his arms defensively across his chest. And he does it a lot. Like, constantly. Why Trump is the way he is matters only about a millionth as much as what he does and gets away with. His alleged promise to pardon any border patrol agent caught abusing a migrant is grounds enough for his immediate impeachment. In a recent interview, psychologist Gabe Mate said that as traumatized as many (or most) of us are by Trump's election, "Donald Trump is a clearest example of a traumatized politician one could eve... more »

1 Shootout Made the Glock 22 the Most Popular Police Handgun in America
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * One of Glock’s more controversial pistols, the Glock 22, was the direct result of lessons learned during an infamous gun battle. *The major difference sprung from the different calibers and was largely internal. The Glock 22, with its larger .40 S&W rounds, could carry just fifteen of the heavier, fatter rounds—two less than the nine-millimeter Glock 17. Although the rounds were larger there were fewer of them, resulting in a fully loaded net weight difference of only about an ounce. Within a few short years, the Glock 22 was the most popular police h... more »
The List: 6 Top .22 Pistols of 2019 (And Sig Sauer Made the Cut)
*Gun News Daily* *Security, * Let the debate begin. *If you are fed up of your .22 pistol jamming every time you go down the range, it is probably time to get a new one, and this Walther is one of the best.* The .22 round is now 159 years old, and shows no sign of becoming any less popular with age. *(This first appeared last month.)* Shooters have been relying on it for over a century, and it is now older than many of the weapons we have handled, let alone owned. There are many reasons to own a few good .22 caliber weapons. Preppers swear by them, if only because .22 rounds ... more »
Best Subcompact Gun Ever?: Meet the Smith & Wesson M&P Bodyguard
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * What do you think? *The Smith & Wesson M&P Bodyguard comes in three color schemes: two-tone silver and black, flat dark earth and black, and all black. In each case the slide is treated with Armornite finish to resist rust and corrosion. The pistol also comes with several safety features, including a manual safety that prevents the trigger from being pulled and a loaded trigger indicator, which pops up when a round is in the chamber and ready to fire. Each single column magazine holds six rounds, plus an additional round in the gun’s action. The pis... more »

FROM THE SAVING CANDIDATE HARRIS FILE: Digest of reports!

South of Fallujah’s Route Fran were hundreds of insurgents who’d spent months digging trench lines, emplacing roadside bombs, barricading streets, training with their weapons, reading the Koran, and watching videos of suicide bombers to inspire them for the fight to come. North of Route Fran were the roughly 1,000 men of 1st Battalion, 8th Mar... more »
