MPox/Monkeypox: Summer 2024 Update
Posted By: earlybird, 8/19/2024 1:24:55 PM
So here we go again. Having once again convened and received guidance from his hand-selected advisory board (snip), WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has declared a Mpox outbreak to be a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC)” for the second time in two years.(snip)Please keep in mind that Tedros is not a physician, not a virologist, not a trained public health officer, not an immunologist, and most definitely not an expert in any of the above. He sort of just plays one on TV. He most definitely is a well-connected African political operator of the CCP/Marxist/Bill Gates

Former President Donald Trump suggested on the evening of Aug. 25 that he may skip a Sept. 10 ABC News debate with Vice President Kamala Harris amid dueling statements issued by both campaigns about whether the microphone should be muted.
Trump wrote on Truth Social that he did not like how the network’s Jonathan Karl handled an interview with Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) on Aug. 25, questioning ABC’s capacity to be impartial.
Trump then wrote, “Why would I do the debate against Kamala Harris on that network?”
The Supreme Court on Aug. 28 turned down President Joe Biden’s request to reinstate a $475 billion student loan relief plan weeks after an appeals court blocked the program.
Justice Brett Kavanaugh referred the application to the full court which denied it. No dissents were recorded.
The Supreme Court said it “expects that the Court of Appeals will render its decision with appropriate dispatch.” The case remains pending in the lower courts.

High LDL (otherwise known as ‘bad’) cholesterol is considered a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke, which together claim over 850,000 lives each year in the United States.
Hence, great efforts are expended in identifying high LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol in patients, and in lowering their levels.
But is cholesterol—and LDL cholesterol in particular—really the arch enemy of health that we’ve been led to believe?
“A person that has good, healthy levels of cholesterol means that their biochemical system is working in this particular spot—in terms of cholesterol regulation and (cholesterol) transport,” says biochemical researcher, Dr. Dayan Goodenowe.
Gov. Katie Hobbs’, D-Ariz., unilateral designation of state agencies as voter registration and ballot drop-off locations is unconstitutional, a lawsuit filed Thursday alleges.
Brought by Arizona GOP Chair Gina Swoboda and two state voters, the suit challenges the legality of two executive orders issued by Hobbs in November 2023 that authorized “certain new state agencies [to serve] as locations where a person can register to vote and drop off completed ballots.” Among the agencies directed to “make voter registration forms” and other election-related information available are the Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation, and Reentry and Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections.
CTH has expressed our concerns previously. I always hope to be wrong about intelligence community connected politicians. That said, I shall be a good team player and hope/pray to be wrong about RFK JR.
Robert F Kennedy Jr is introduced by President Trump at a MAGA rally in Arizona. According to RFK Jr earlier in the day, President Trump promised a position in the Trump administration. From the remarks tonight, I suspect that position offered is FDA Commissioner.
(snip) President Trump heaped effusive praise on Robert F Kennedy as the crowd chanted, “Bobby, Bobby, Bobby!” It was quite an exciting moment in an auditorium filled
The bodies of a British tech tycoon, a Morgan Stanley executive, and five others, including a teenager, have been recovered after the superyacht Bayesian sank off the coast of Sicily on Aug. 19.
What happened, and how could such a huge vessel suddenly go down within sight of the shore?
Who Was on Board and Why?
When a storm struck the superyacht Bayesian, off Porticello, near Palermo, around 5 a.m. on Aug. 19, there were 22 people on board: 12 passengers and a crew of 10.
The passengers included Mike Lynch, the founder and former CEO of software firm Autonomy, his wife Angela Bacares—who was the Bayesian’s legal owner—and their 18-year-old daughter Hannah.
Larry Kudlow delivered a monologue outlining his pragmatic and positive perspective on the Robert F Kennedy endorsement of President Trump.
Mr Kudlow sees a net positive from the RFK JR endorsement and is optimistic that support from a Kennedy can tilt a tight race. WATCH:

From the Twitter: “I can’t tell whether it’s good or bad, but I firmly believe you have to be willing to play the cards your dealt. Maybe it was the Army, I dunno, but I can’t stand to sacrifice momentum for purity and perfection. You want that? Go to church. This is politics. It’s war. We fight with the team we’ve got, and that means sending
According to the Trump campaign, there will now be a special guest attending the Glendale, Arizona MAGA rally tomorrow (7:00pm ET). A lot of speculation has centered around Robert F Kennedy Jr, likely endorsing President Trump.
Many people within the MAGA community, mostly those associated with the financial benefits of the movement, have been advocating for RFK Jr to be placed in a prominent Trump administration position.
I am taking a wait-and-see approach; however, I do not see any benefit from any RFK endorsement. The same Republicans who voted for Evan McMullin, are the same Republicans currently supporting RFK Jr. That group will not change their anti-Trump position

Of FACE Act Violations For Preventing

The Department of Justice (DOJ) continues to hound pro-life activists who go to abortion businesses and try to convince pregnant women not to kill their babies.
A Detroit, Michigan, jury found seven pro-lifers guilty Tuesday of engaging in a civil rights conspiracy and violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act for standing and sitting in front of the door of the Northland Family Planning Clinic in Sterling Heights, Michigan, Aug. 27, 2020.
The 1994 Clinton-era FACE Act makes it a federal crime to intimidate or interfere with someone getting an abortion. Combined with the conspiracy charge the DOJ has added to recent FACE charges, the combined convictions

The “never let a crisis go to waste” narrative continues advancing today with Congressman Mike Waltz.(snp)If you do not choose to give up some private communication tools in order to make the USA a safer place, then you don’t care about the security of President Trump or something.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has unveiled a new rule that the government estimates will protect about 550,000 illegal immigrants from being deported.
A federal law called the Immigration and Nationality Act gives federal officials the ability to grant parole to illegal immigrants who are already in the United States. DHS officials are using the powers to grant protection to some illegal immigrants who are married to U.S. citizens, as directed by President Joe Biden.
The DHS said that the government is trying to keep families together and that “granting parole in place, on a case-by-case basis,

Left-Wing Salon Attacks MAGA Over Refusal

to Admit Ella Emhoff Is ‘Cute’ —
‘Unapologetic Misogyny’ 45 replies
MAGA’s attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris’s stepdaughter, Ella Emhoff, stem from “unapologetic misogyny” and “toxic masculinity,” as well as a refusal to “admit to themselves that she’s cute,” according to a left-wing Salon piece that accuses Trump’s team of seeking to “win over the worst men in the nation by appealing directly to their controlling, misogynist desires.”
The Tuesday essay, titled “MAGA attacks on Kamala Harris’ stepdaughter threaten to backfire on Donald Trump,” was penned by Salon senior politics writer Amanda Marcotte, who accused leading voices within the MAGA movement of “proving that they are weird” for their ongoing obsession with Kamala Harris’s stepdaughter.
A Tennessee 10-year-old was expelled from school for a full year after he pointed his finger in the shape of a gun and made mock "machine gun" noises, according to a ProPublica investigation.The boy was expelled as part of a "zero tolerance" law in Tennessee that mandates any student who makes a threat of "mass violence" be expelled for at least one year. While the law, originally signed in 2023—following a shooting by a former student at a private school in Nashville—was recently amended to direct schools to expel students only for "valid" threats, the provisions of the law are still vague, and schools have considerable enforcement leeway.
Democrat presidential and vice presidential nominees Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz are set to engage in their first sit-down interview on Thursday with CNN, more than a month after Harris became the presumptive nominee.
Here are 31 questions, broken down by larger themes, that CNN’s Dana Bash could and should ask the duo during the joint interview:
ECONOMY:
1. Price controls typically result in shortages. Are your price control proposals for groceries not going to just create empty aisles and shelves?
2. Will providing every first-time home buyer with $25,000 cause the prices of homes to soar by a similar amount, rendering such an effort futile?
A conservative-backed push for stricter proof-of-citizenship requirements for voting could complicate efforts to avert a government shutdown next month.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have acknowledged a stopgap of some kind, also known as a continuing resolution (CR), will be necessary to keep the government funded past Sept. 30. But calls are growing among House conservatives to use that must-pass measure to force consideration of a partisan bill aimed at barring noncitizens from voting — laying the groundwork for a clash with the Democratic-led Senate, which would likely reject such a package.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation held a call with reporters Wednesday and detailed new information about the man, Thomas Crooks, who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024.
According to officials, who are still unwilling to confirm a motive, Crooks searched for both Biden and Trump events prior to attending the rally where he shot Trump in the ear, killed 50-year-old Corey Comperatore and severely wounded two more attendees. Investigators say they are certain Crooks acted alone and that
Kamala Harris has yet to give a press conference or sit down with any journalist to discuss the construct of a campaign around her. The media has largely tried to cover for this lack of openness, but even hardcore narrative engineers are starting to become twitchy at the extreme handling of Hawk Tuah Harris.
To deflect attention from the absence of questioning, HT Harris primary handler Brian Fallon, has arranged a scripted interview with CNN. Together with her sketchy running mate, Tim Walz, Mrs Harris will be questioned by Dana Bash in a taped interview which will be edited, smoothed and broadcast on CNN fake news tomorrow at 9pm ET.
On Wednesday’s broadcast of “CNN News Central,” former Defense Secretary and former CIA Director Leon Panetta, who has endorsed 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris, stated that Harris was in the room when decisions about the Afghanistan withdrawal were made, but she was there “to listen” and doesn’t “bear the same responsibility that the President bears with regards to the final decision.”
Co-host Brianna Keilar asked, “So, Harris is going to be giving this interview on the eve of what is the third anniversary of America’s total withdrawal from Afghanistan. You spoke last week at the DNC, forcefully making the case for Harris as commander-in-chief.
Home Depot partnered with an LGBTQ program that provided elementary students with information on "pansexual" identities and being "nonbinary."
In 2022, Home Depot announced one of its "Diversity Partnerships" was the Human Rights Campaign's "Welcoming Schools" program, which is a program to educate students on transgender and LGBTQ terms. The Welcoming Schools program offers K-12 lesson plans and other LGBTQ resources on its website – which were available before Home Depot announced the partnership.
The California legislature passed a bill banning local governments from adopting voter identification laws for local elections. California does not require identification to vote, but earlier this year, the City of Huntington Beach approved a voter ID requirement for municipal elections starting in 2026. This bill would override Huntington Beach’s policy.
“An overwhelming body of evidence proves that voter ID laws only subvert voter turnout and create barriers to law abiding voters,” wrote bill author State Sen. Dave Min, D-Irvine.
President Joe Biden appeared in public for the first time in three days, joining his wife Jill Biden on the beach near their vacation home in Rehoboth, Delaware.
The first lady’s two sisters and her senior adviser Anthony Bernal joined them on the hot, sunny day.
The group sat under two blue umbrellas. Some passers-by waved at them as they walked the beach. It's day nine of the president's two-week vacation. He often sits on the beach when he's in Rehoboth.
He had a blue bag with him and was seen removing a file folder stacked with papers.
Vice President Kamala Harris will give her first interview as the Democrats’ presidential nominee Thursday to CNN — in a high-stakes test of her ability to defend her record and policies after weeks of avoiding such an exchange.
But Harris, 59, won’t be on her own — with CNN promoting it as a “joint interview” featuring both Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. Network anchor Dana Bash will conduct the interview — set to air at 9 p.m. ET— in Georgia, where Harris and Walz will be engaged in a bus tour of the battleground state.
Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign now claims she “does not support” Electric Vehicle (EV) mandates after years of supporting such mandates as a Senator and in her role in President Joe Biden’s administration.
According to The Spectator‘s Amber Duke, Harris’s campaign sent an email to supporters on Tuesday claiming “Vice President Harris does not support an electric vehicle mandate.”
The statement comes after years of Harris campaigning, championing, and supporting EV mandates that require automakers to produce and sell a certain percentage of EVs to American consumers.
