If Trump won in 24 he would want as many of his supporters in Congress starting in 22 and he does have supporters . The economy will be a disaster for the 22 elections. Biden followed the squad/progressive agenda so the Democrats will have hell to pay in coming elections. As a moderate I hate the pendulum swing from one extreme to the other.

Democracy’s Fiery Ordeal: The War in Ukraine 🇺🇦

Putin plans to 'starve much of the developing world,' Yale historian says Putin could generate a wave of refugees into the EU Russian President Vladimir Putin is planning to force the West to end its sanctions by causing a widespread famine, Yale historian Timothy Snyder argues. Snyder, a Levin professor of history at Yale University, pointed to Russia's ongoing blockade of Ukrainian grain, which shows no signs of stopping. Ukraine is a major global producer of grain, supplying mainly Middle Eastern and Asian countries. Snyder argues that Putin's plan is not only to destabilize Ukraine by cutting off exports but also destabilize the European Union by generating "refugees from North Africa and the Middle East, areas usually fed by Ukraine." https://www.foxnews.com/world/putin-starve-world-ukraine-grain -

Putin carries poop case when he travels outside Moscow to hide possible health problems: Report Putin reportedly collects his fecal matter and urine to dispose of in Moscow "Putin fears the possibility of any information about his health getting into the hands of foreign intelligence services," Rebekah Koffler, president of Doctrine & Strategy Consulting and a former DIA intelligence officer, told Fox News Digital. Putin has an 81% approval rating despite scattered protests since the start of the invasion of Ukraine. https://www.foxnews.com/world/putin-poop-case-moscow-health-problems -

Barnett Abba Slepian (April 23, 1946 – October 23, 1998) was an American physician and abortion provider who was murdered in his home by James Charles Kopp, a militant member of the US anti-abortion movement. Slepian worked at Buffalo Women Services in Buffalo, New York, providing abortion for members of the local and surrounding communities.[3] He also ran his own private OB-GYN practice in Amherst, New York, where he also resided. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barnett_Slepian I'm pro life but that made me profoundly sad. -

Still, oil companies could use their excess profits to expand their production, and they aren’t. Instead Exxon, Chevron, BP, and Shell spent more than $44 billion on stock buybacks and dividends in 2021. https://fortune.com/2022/06/08/why-are-gas-prices-so-high-is-joe-biden-to-blame/ Planning, designing, permitting and building a new medium-sized refinery is a 5-7 year process with costs ranging from $7-10 billion, not including land acquisition. US oil companies exporting oil and less refining capacity today is a big problem. Does the US still export oil? In 2021, the United States exported about 8.63 million b/d of petroleum to 176 countries and 4 U.S. territories. Crude oil exports of about 2.98 million b/d accounted for 35% of total U.S. gross petroleum exports in 2021. https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=727&t=6 -

Poland's president says calls with Russia's Putin are like speaking to Hitler: report Duda made the remark late Wednesday after French President Emmanuel Macron – who has kept up a dialogue with Putin during the Ukraine war – said over the weekend that "we must not humiliate Russia so that the day when the fighting stops we can build an exit ramp through diplomatic means," according to Reuters. "Did anyone speak like this with Adolf Hitler during World War Two?" Duda reportedly told the German newspaper Bild. "Did anyone say that Adolf Hitler must save face? That we should proceed in such a way that it is not humiliating for Adolf Hitler? I have not heard such voices." https://www.foxnews.com/world/poland-russia-ukraine-war-putin-hitler-comparison -
Who is Nick Quested? A British filmmaker, Quested was embedded with the Proud Boys for a significant period of time leading up to January 6 and is considered a firsthand fact witness because of the amount of time he spent with the group. He has already been deposed by the committee and Justice Department officials about his experience on January 6 and has provided the committee and the department with video footage from the filming of his documentary. https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/09/politics/nick-quested-january-6-committee-public-hearing-explainer/index.html WOW: Tomorrow's “star”@January6thCmte “witness” is Nick Quested.

Born this way? Researchers explore the science of gender identity SCIENCE & SPACE August 3 ,2017 NEW YORK (Reuters) - While President Donald Trump has thrust transgender people back into the conflict between conservative and liberal values in the United States, geneticists are quietly working on a major research effort to unlock the secrets of gender identity. A consortium of five research institutions in Europe and the United States, including Vanderbilt University Medical Center, George Washington University and Boston Children’s Hospital, is looking to the genome, a person’s complete set of DNA, for clues about whether transgender people are born that way. Two decades of brain research have provided hints of a biological origin to being transgender, but no irrefutable conclusions. Now scientists in the consortium have embarked on what they call the largest-ever study of its kind, searching for a genetic component to explain why people assigned one gender at birth so persistently identify as the other, often from very early childhood. (reut.rs/2w3Ozg9) Researchers have extracted DNA from the blood samples of 10,000 people, 3,000 of them transgender and the rest non-transgender, or cisgender. The project is awaiting grant funding to begin the next phase: testing about 3 million markers, or variations, across the genome for all of the samples. Knowing what variations transgender people have in common, and comparing those patterns to those of cisgender people in the study, may help investigators understand what role the genome plays in everyone’s gender identity. “If the trait is strongly genetic, then people who identify as trans will share more of their genome, not because they are related in nuclear families but because they are more anciently related,” said Lea Davis, leader of the study and an assistant professor of medicine at the Vanderbilt Genetics Institute. The search for the biological underpinnings is taking on new relevance as the battle for transgender rights plays out in the U.S. political arena. Currently, the only way to determine whether people are transgender is for them to self-identify as such. While civil rights activists contend that should be sufficient, scientists have taken their search to the lab. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-lgbt-biology/born-this-way-researchers-explore-the-science-of-gender-identity-idUSKBN1AJ0F0 -

Each person normally has one pair of sex chromosomes in each cell. The Y chromosome is present in males, who have one X and one Y chromosome, while females have two X chromosomes. Identifying genes on each chromosome is an active area of genetic research. What is happening in someone's brain is still a big mystery. -
