COLOR VISION: I came across this test. It says at the bottom, “There are 1 in 255 women and 1 in 12 men who are suffering from color vision deficiency.” I did not know this! A score of 1 to 16 is “superior.” I got a 2. This goes a long way toward explaining my passion for color!
DRUG TRIALS: A new report published in the Journal of Political Economy on Oct. 7 says drug studies sponsored by drug manufacturers not only report higher drug efficacy than studies not sponsored by the drug company (no surprise there), but that the effect can be as much as 50%. Now that surprises me.
FEELINGS: I saw this on FB, with the following excellent comment – “I mean… many times, yes, especially if you have a well-formed faith and a developed sense of discernment. BUT, as Fr. Chad Ripperger often says, ‘the Holy Spirit isn’t the only one transmitting on that channel.’ Demons can have access to influence our emotions, and so using them as a definitive sense check can be a VERY dangerous standard. “Don’t completely ignore your emotions, but don’t be so prideful to think they can’t be influenced into leading you astray.”
KAMALA: This is worth watching. [5:06] – Harris also appeared on The View and said that, despite the fact she’s been campaigning on undoing everything Biden screwed up “on Day 1” of her (please God never) presidency, she would not “have done anything differently than President Biden during the past four years.” Moreover, “I’ve been a part of most of the decisions that have had an impact.” ::smh:: Anybody who votes for her is either complicit or stupid.
MAGA: I voted! I was holding off on returning my absentee ballot until I heard J.D. Vance say we should do them early to prevent cheaters from using our names. Dearest is delivering it by hand today. He needs to do his too; he’s a poll worker and won’t have time to vote on election day.
MELANIA: [10:56] – I really enjoyed this interview. She looked so comfortable and relaxed, laughing and just glowing with good health and love. Marrying her may have been the best thing Donald ever did!
TELEPROMPTERS: When his went out, Trump made jokes. [6:03] – CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-Q_bj7S7QH4 to see how Harris handled it when hers went out.
THE VIEW: [8:04] – The first part is an interesting clip from the show. I noticed they were eager to check, check, check for Trump, but they could have checked all the same boxes for Harris. If you’re not interested in that (can’t blame you), skip past The View to see some wonderful clips of The Donald and folks he has helped.
WALK AWAY: [4:03] – Cancer patient lost his insurance, then was fined for not having insurance. Under Trump, his life improved. He’s now a former Democrat.
GRAMMY NOTES: My pinky toe is so talented that it can also find furniture in the day time. In other news, it is purple and so swollen that I can barely see the nail. Ouch.
