AMERICA’S TOP YOUNG SCIENTIST: Heman Bekele (14) is a ninth grader from Annandale, Virginia. He won the prestigious 3M and Discovery Education award in the middle school science competitions for his soap that treats skin cancer. The bar of soap costs about $.50 to make.
The second place winner was Shripriya Kalbhavi, a 9th grader from San Jose, CA, who invented a cost-effective microneedle patch that allows for self-automated drug delivery without pills or needles.
The third place winner was Sarah Wang, a 7th grader at The Pike School in Andover, MA. Sarah developed the Spring Epilepsy Detection Glove, a glove that can detect tonic-clonic and myoclonic epileptic seizures with common hand movements and tracks seizure statistics through a smart phone application.
The fourth through tenth place winners were Anisha Dhoot, Ishaan Iyer, Sean Jiang, Annie Katz, Anish Kosaraju, Adhip Maitra, and Shruti Sivaraman. I think I see a theme here….
ABOLISHING GOD: In the UK, a Christian pastor from South Wales has been arrested and may face jail time for holding up a sign with a Bible verse on it outside an abortion clinic in London.
In Canada, the Minister of National Defence has instructed military chaplains not to use “God” during public prayers.
CALIFORNICATION: Ever since Gov. Newsom signed the misnamed Safer Streets for All Act into law, California’s streets have become even worse than ever. Prostitutes, some barely out of their teens, walk around in broad daylight, barely clothed, because the new laws make it nearly impossible for cops to get them off the streets.
COVID-19: A study entitled “Effects of tea, catechins and catechin derivatives on Omicron subvariants of SARS-CoV-2” was published on October 3, 2023, in Scientific Reports. In it, Japanese resarchers at Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine report how they learned that drinking green tea, matcha, and black tea or sucking on candy containing one of these substances can effectively inactivate certain Omicron subvariants in the saliva of infected individuals, including asymptomatic carriers.
The COVID-19 virus primarily spreads through saliva, which is released when talking, sneezing, or coughing, forming droplets and aerosols that disperse into the air. Inactivating the virus in saliva is crucial for preventing COVID-19. It is believed that the polyphenols in tea can bind to the spike protein of the virus, preventing it from infecting cells.
GEORGIA: In the 6-1 decision, the state’s supreme court has upheld the constitutionality of the Living Infants Fairness and Equality (LIFE) Act. This is one of the so-called heartbeat laws that bans abortion once the unborn have a “detectable human heartbeat,” which usually begins around six weeks of gestation. At this point, the fetus’ rudimentary heart is beating around 160 times a minute. Its arms and legs are like tiny paddles that will lengthen and grow into limbs. Its eyes, ears, nostrils, mouth, tongue, and vocal cords are also beginning to develop.
N.b., “gestation” refers to the time since conception, which is generally about 2 weeks longer than “pregnant.” The latter is measured by the time since the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP). In women who have regular cycles, ovulation occurs about 14 days after LMP with conception occurring withing 24 hours or so, after which the egg is no longer viable. Most women have no idea they’re pregnant until they are 2 or more weeks into gestation, allowing only a very narrow window for aborting.
GLAMOUR: The magazine’s all-female honorees included actresses Millie Bobby Brown, America Ferrera, Ariana DeBose, Lily Allen, and Hannah Waddingham; singers Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Halle Bailey, and Olivia Dean; influencer Fats Timbo, reality star Georgia Harrison, and a group of female soccer players.
ILLINOIS: Billionaire, Democrat, and Global Elite Progressive, Governor J.B. Pritzker, announced that he has created a new group named “Think Big America.” It’s purpose is to promote the Democrat abortion agenda across the country. I.e., any and all abortions should be legal for any reason right up until birth and paid for by taxpayers.
LIBS of TIKTOK: I’m sorry about the graphic, but you have to see it to believe it. This conservative social media activist has succeeded in getting five pornographic books removed from the school library shelves of the Northeast Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas. The district serves about 60,000 students.
OREGON: Woke education officials have extended their ban on requiring that students demonstrate basic competency in reading, writing, and math in order to get a high school diploma.
PFIZER LIED, PEOPLE DIED: A paper entitled “Forensic Analysis of the 38 Subject Deaths in the 6-Month Interim Report of the Pfizer/BioNTech BNT162b2 mRNA Vaccine Clinical Trial” was published on October 17, 2023 in the International Journal of Vaccine Theory, Practice, and Research.
This analysis showed that Pfizer altered the COVID-19 “vaccine” data in order to gain Emergency Use Authorization. Specifically, they reported four deaths in the placebo arm of its clinical trial versus only two deaths in the vaccine arm. In reality, the vaccine test subjects experienced a 3.7 times increase in cardiovascular deaths compared to placebo controls.
S&G: I’ve wondered where trannies got the term “cis-gendered” to refer to heterosexuals. Today I was reading about resveratrol at Consumer Lab and saw, “Resveratrol exists in either the cis- or trans- form.” So I googled and learned these are terms used in molecular biology to describe genes that … uhhh yeah, no. They lost me after that. Anyhoops, it occurs to me that this might be where trannies got “cis-” to describe (and demean) those of us who do not have a gender-disordered sexuality.
SHEILA JACKSON LEE: CLICK https://rumble.com/v3rdojj-wackjob-democrat-sheila-jackson-lee-loses-it-on-staffer.html [2:00] to hear the offensive and demeaning language Rep. Jackson Lee (D-TX-18) used while ripping a staffer a new one. Since the audio started making headlines, Jackson Lee has sort of apologized. She didn’t say sorry to the staffer she yelled at; she just said “oops, got caught” then blamed Republicans for leaking the video. Jesse Waters said the leak came from within her own office.
SPEAKER of the HOUSE: After 22 days of wrangling, the GOP conference has finally banded together to replace the failed speaker and Trump-hating RINO, Kevin McCarthy. The new speaker, attorney Mike Johnson (R-LA), used to work for Alliance Defending Freedom; he has a 100% voting rating on critical pro-life and pro-family issues and has been deeply involved in holding the FBI accountable for investigating Catholics. In 2022, Rep. Johnson introduced the Stop the Sexualization of Children Act, which if enacted would prohibit federally funded institutions like public libraries and schools from promoting gender ideology.
VAXXX: The following was posted to X by Archbishop Viganò: “Three years ago I was among the first – and certainly the first Bishop – to denounce pandemic and vaccination fraud. Expressed with arguments that today emerge as true and well-founded are the critical issues and immorality of an experimental gene treatment, which aborted fetuses were and are used to produce. I also wrote two open letters to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which remain unanswered.
“There were those in conservative circles who went so far as to attack me personally and resorted to the unproven and clearly false statements of a doctor who worked with her husband for BigPharma.
“I expressed my dismay at the silence of the bishops, priests, and parish pastors, of many religious workers involved in hospitals, and at the servile zeal with which the Catholic Hierarchy conformed to the crazy and criminal health regulations and Bergoglio’s promotion of the serum. I was publicly insulted on television and in the media, while my brother bishops were silent. Faced with a crime against humanity that has continued to take place before our eyes for three years with the approval and encouragement of Bergoglio, I would have thought that many Pastors would have found the courage to raise their voices and join in my denunciation of the plan of world depopulation implemented by the Word Economic Forum, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, the WHO, and the UN, while the funds of these criminals were also given to the Vatican, transforming Bergoglio into a vaccine salesman and a supporter of climate fraud, which has now become “magisterium” with Laudate Deum and with the “Amazonian and synodal church.”
“Nemo propheta in sua patria. [CtH: no man is a prophet in his own land.] But if today some priests surrender to the evidence and ask Catholic journalists to tell the truth about the adverse effects, I wonder with what serenity they have so far silenced their conscience, and if their silence and fearful silence – like that of the doctors, police forces, magistrates, teachers and governors – has not turned into a timid protest today just because they see the showdown approaching and fear for their own reputation more than for the health of the billions of people subjected to the inoculation of a product that was known from the beginning to be dangerous and even lethal. Their silence on the pandemic fraud is identical to that on the apostasy of the Catholic Hierarchy. And the moral responsibility that weighs on them will remain as an indelible stain for which they will have to answer to God, to men, and to History.”
GRAMMY NOTES: This graphic makes me sad. I can count on my fingers the number of times either of my parents said any of these things to me. And I don’t need both hands. I hope and pray I did a lot better job of parenting our girls than they did parenting me.
