Opinion: Menopausal women have a lot at stake in this election – Los Angeles Times

There are legions of us, 75 million strong in the U.S., in some stage of perimenopause, menopause or post menopause.

Here are three issues critical to menopause care that we urge voters to consider.

First, equity in federal funding for medical research. The National Institutes of Health allocates only 10.8% of its $45-billion budget to women’s health, according to the most recent tally (2020), although women make up more than half of the U.S. population. Of that, only a tiny fraction goes to research targeting midlife and menopause — an amount so small it can’t even be computed, given that menopause-specific research is part of a “subcategory of a subcategory,” according to neuroscientist Lisa Mosconi.

JD Vance falsely claims Donald Trump didn’t lose 2020 election | US elections 2024 | The Guardian (Me: Vance vying to win “greased pig” contest to slither out of a straight answer to his belief about 2020 election.)

“Did Donald Trump lose the election? Not by the words that I would use,” Vance said in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. “But look, I really couldn’t care less if you agree with me or disagree with me on this issue.”

He was pressed on his response by a reporter later in the day on another campaign stop in Wilmington, North Carolina, saying: “I think that big tech rigged the election in 2020. That’s my view. And if you disagree with me, that’s fine.”

The response comes in the wake of a non-response earlier this month, when during an interview with the New York Times, Vance was reportedly given five opportunities to “acknowledge that Trump did not win in 2020” and he “refused to say so”…

Poll: South Asian voters highly motivated to support Harris – AsAmNews

A new poll conducted in battleground states of 600 South Asian American voters revealed the community enthusiastically supports Kamala Harris over Donald Trump.

The Indian American Impact Fund (IAIF) commissioned the survey conducted by GBAO, a public opinion research and political strategy firm.

The poll conducted in September asked if the election were held today, who would you vote for?

68% said they would vote for Harris and 20% said they would vote for Trump.

80% ranked their motivation to vote for Harris at a 10 with 10 being the highest while only 66% of Trump’s supporters said the same.

The goal of the poll according to IAIF, was to understand the voting preference of South Asian voters, understand their motivations to vote and understand what issues matter the most to these voters.

“We called voters off the voter file and screened for ethnicity,” Nisha Jain of GBAO said during the briefing attended by AsAmNews.

Jain said South Asian voters “are overwhelmingly Democratic leaning” with 46% saying they were Democrats and 9% saying they were Republicans.

Jain added that according to the polling, the top two issues for the South Asian community are inflation and abortion with abortion being a top issue for the Democratic party.

Polling also found that 71% of South Asian voters’ view Harris favorably while only 22% view Trump favorably.

Chintan Patel, the Executive Director of IAIF said there are over 400,000 eligible South Asian voters in Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania and North Carolina

“In a state like Georgia, where in 2020, the president and vice president won the state with just about 11,000 votes, there are nearly 100,000 South Asian voters in the state and they’re going to be the critical margin of victory,” Patel said at the briefing.

According to Patel, IAIF is doing what it can to reach as many South Asian and Asian Pacific Islander voters in these battleground states by launching a $3.5 million ad campaign.

“We’re communicating on channels and platforms, TV stations and radio stations where we know our community goes to consume media, so we can reach voters where they are,” Patel said. “And in messaging that is culturally resonant to them and on issues that are going to move them to vote.”

Songs I Like (77)

‘Get Here’.

I first heard this song by the American singer Oleta Adams, in 1990. She has a great voice that suited the song, and it was a big hit in Britain.

Some time later, I discovered that hers was a cover version of the original, which was written and recorded by Brenda Russell, a Canadian songwriter, two years earlier.

It’s still a great song, and I remain undecided whether or not I prefer Oleta’s power ballad version, or Brenda’s more plaintive original. I think I will just say that both versions work for different reasons, so will feature them both. Oleta first.

You can reach me by railway
You can reach me by trailway
You can reach me on an airplane
You can reach me with your mind
You can reach me by caravan
Cross the desert like an Arab man
I don`t care how you get here
Just get here if you can

You can reach me by sailboat
Climb a tree and swing rope to rope
Take a sled and slide down slope
Into these arms of mine
You can jump on a speedcote
Cross the border in a blaze of hope
I don`t care how you get here
Just get here if you can

There are hills and mountains between us
Always something to get over
If I had the way
Surely you`d be closer
I need you closer

You can windsurf into my life
Take me up on a carpet ride
You can make it in a big balloon
But you`d better make it soon
You can reach me by caravan
Cross the desert like an Arab man
I don`t care how you get here
Just get here if you can

I don`t care, I don`t care
I need you right here right now
I need you right here right now right by my side yeah
I don`t care how you get here
Just get here if you can
