RFK Jr’s Running Mate Shares His Skepticism Towards Vaccines | Diane Ravitch’s blog

Nicole Shanahan, the billionaire selected by Robert Kennedy Jr. as his running mate, suspects that childhood vaccines may have caused her daughter’s autism. Glenn Kessler, the Fact Checker for the Washington Post, asked for the reactions of several autism experts, who disagreed with Shanahan. Kessler gives her four Pinnochios, the highest ranking for falsehood.

नमी / Moisture  – Kaushal Kishore

 

कुछ नमी 

तो जरूरी है 

होना आंखों में, 

लेकिन इतनी भी नहीं 

कि बहने लगे 

आंसू बनकर…

👀 👀 👀

A certain level of 

moisture in the eyes 

is essential, 

but not so much 

that it starts flowing 

like tears…

NO, NOT AN ECLIPSE… | NANMYKEL.COM

DO YOU REMEMBER ?  It was recently mentioned that the U.S. military has an agreement with a private corporation (Lake City Army Ammunition Plant in Missouri) dating back to 1941 to supply ammunition or guns when needed, and this particular company has recently been a source for several AK 47’s in private hands being used in mass shootings in the U.S.  At one point President Biden determined to sever the connection, but opposition apparently stalled that intent.

The AK-47 is the deadliest weapon ever built, on the whole. Its kill count even tops nuclear weapons in sheer numbers (https://www.military.com), and although illegal, you can still buy a fully automatic AK-47. But when more ammunition or guns are needed by the Army, they become rapidly available via this US-owned, contracted-out enterprise. Check me out on Google–it is rather complicated.

The comparison I’m making is between facilitating a potentially dangerous enterprise for the country and extending almost limitless power to Elon Musk and his giant for-profit space enterprise, with the backing of NASA.  It just occurred to me how much power his outfit will have over…earthlings? 

Over the internet I was mistaken for a company, and received an advertisement from someone  to make my computer connections work with less interference.  With that, I realized who holds the cards in this, our self-made card game.  I hate to mention it, but Mr. Musk does not appear to be a very nice man.  (And A.I. is on the loose).

♫ Up Around The Bend ♫ | Filosofa’s Word

Written by lead singer John Fogerty, this is a very upbeat Creedence Clearwater Revival, giving a hint that, as bad as things were in the early ’70s, there might be some hope for the future: Things would improve “Around The Bend.” Bass player Stu Cook described the song as “Kind of the opposite of ‘Run Through The Jungle.’”

This song required a bit of translation for British audiences. In England, if you go “around the bend” it means you go crazy. Then the band toured the UK, they had to explain to the British press that the song was not about dementia or mental problems.

In his memoir “Fortunate Son: My Life, My Music”, John Fogerty said that this song came to him when he was riding his motorcycle though the California hills.

Elton John covered this song, but as much as I love Elton, his version just didn’t work for me.   It sounded too much like he was trying to be somebody he wasn’t.

This song charted well … it was in Australia, Canada, and the Netherlands, in the UK, and in the U.S.
