newswars--2020-02-11--Science Confirms: “Happy Wife, Happy Life”

Science now supports the saying , “ happy wife , happy life.
” Michigan State University research found that those who are optimistic contribute to the health of their partners , staving off the risk factors leading to Alzheimer ’ s disease , dementia and cognitive decline as they grow old together .
“ We spend a lot of time with our partners , ” said William Chopik , assistant professor of psychology and co-author of the study .
“ They might encourage us to exercise , eat healthier or remind us to take our medicine .
When your partner @ @ @ @ @ @ @ translate to similar outcomes in your own life .
You actually do experience a rosier future by living longer and staving off cognitive illnesses.
” An optimistic partner may encourage eating a salad or work out together to develop healthier lifestyles .
For example , if you quit smoking or start exercising , your partner is close to following suit within a few weeks and months .
“ We found that when you look at the risk factors for what predicts things like Alzheimer ’ s disease or dementia , a lot of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lifestyle , ” Chopik said .
“ Maintaining a healthy weight and physical activity are large predictors .
There are some physiological markers as well .
It looks like people who are married to optimists tend to score better on all of those metrics.
” The study , published in the Journal of Personality and co-authored by MSU graduate student Jeewon Oh and Eric Kim , a research scientist in the Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences at the Harvard T.H .
Chan School of Public Health , followed nearly 4,500 heterosexual couples @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up to eight years .
The researchers found a potential link between being married to an optimistic person and preventing the onset of cognitive decline , thanks to a healthier environment at home .
“ There ’ s a sense where optimists lead by example , and their partners follow their lead , ” Chopik said .
“ While there ’ s some research on people being jealous of their partner ’ s good qualities or on having bad reactions to someone trying to control you , it is balanced with other research @ @ @ @ @ @ @ perceiving your relationship in a positive light.
” The research also indicated that when couples recall shared experiences together , richer details from the memories emerge .
A recent example , Chopik explained , was Google ’ s tearjerker Super Bowl ad , “ Loretta , ” in which an elderly man uses his Google Assistant to help him remember details about his late wife .
“ The things he was recollecting were positive things about his partner , ” Chopik said .
“ There is science behind the Google ad .

newswars--2020-02-11--Scientists Using Immune Cells to Fight Memory Loss

When it comes to memory , immune cells are known as the “ bad cops ” of the brain .

When it comes to memory, immune cells are known as the “bad cops” of the brain. But new research shows they could also be turned into “good cops” to power memory and learning.

Activating memory with activated microglia
In the study, published in Journal of Neuroinflammation, the researchers worked with a unique type of rat to test the effect of microglia on cognitive function.
The study looked how the rats performed memory tasks when the immune cells were present and compared this with their performance when almost all the microglia were knocked out.
They found that removing almost all the microglia made no difference in memory tasks.
But when the microglia regenerated, this led to astounding results: researchers ran the same memory tests on the rats and they performed 25-50% better than normal rats.
Importantly, the regenerated microglia were a different shape – similar to the “activated” shape that these cells have when dealing with inflammation.

newswars--2020-02-11--Senator Cotton Demands Beijing Prove Coronavirus Isn’t a Bioweapon

A little more than one week ago , the mainstream press branded the notion that nCoV might have originated as a bioweapon developed in a secretive Wuhan lab as a deranged conspiracy theory , with zero conclusive evidence to support it ( despite the mountain of coincidences have been reported by Zero Hedge and others ) .
Readers may remember how Buzzfeed was extremely triggered by our coverage .
And they also might be interested to hear that over the last two days , two mainstream financial media organizations and a prominent Republican Senator have all raised questions about the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the bioweapons theory isn ’ t so far-fetched after all .
Is it merely a coincidence that the Canadian scientist at the center of a bio-espionage probe was recently found dead in Africa , as we reported last week ?
Or that a doctor who helped draft a critical international bioweapons convention has said that the virus might be tied to “ biological warfare ?
” Apparently , Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton believes Beijing needs to address these questions , particularly after China ’ s ambassador to the US Cui Tiankai accused him @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by even suggesting that the virus could have been engineered as a bioweapon .
“ I think it ’ s true that a lot is still unknown and our scientists , Chinese scientists , American scientists , scientists of other countries , are doing their best to learn more about the virus , but it ’ s very harmful , it ’ s very dangerous , to stir up suspicion , rumors and spread them among the people , ” he said .
“ For one thing , this will create panic , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ could also foment xenophobia and racist discrimination .
“ There are all kinds of speculation and rumors , ” he added , noting that there were also conspiracy theories about the virus originating in the United States .
“ How can we believe all these crazy things ?
” On another note , when asked about Chen Qiushi , a citizen journalist who disappeared after covering the outbreak in Wuhan , Cui responded “ I have never heard of this guy , so I don ’ t have any information to share with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Cotton first tweeted questions about the virus , pointing out that China ’ s most advanced virus research laboratory , known as the Wuhan Institute of Virology , was situated in Wuhan , near the epicenter of the outbreak .
Replying to the ambassador ’ s interview , Cotton again accused Beijing of lying and trying to cover up the outbreak during its early days .

A little more than one week ago, the mainstream press branded the notion that nCoV might have originated as a bioweapon developed in a secretive Wuhan lab as a deranged conspiracy theory, with zero conclusive evidence to support it (despite the mountain of coincidences have been reported by Zero Hedge and others).
Readers may remember how Buzzfeed was extremely triggered by our coverage.
And they also might be interested to hear that over the last two days, two mainstream financial media organizations and a prominent Republican Senator have all raised questions about the virus’s provenance, suggesting that the bioweapons theory isn’t so far-fetched after all.
Is it merely a coincidence that the Canadian scientist at the center of a bio-espionage probe was recently found dead in Africa, as we reported last week? Or that a doctor who helped draft a critical international bioweapons convention has said that the virus might be tied to “biological warfare?”
Or an Israeli bioweapons expert?
Apparently, Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton believes Beijing needs to address these questions, particularly after China’s ambassador to the US Cui Tiankai accused him of “xenophobia” against Chinese people by even suggesting that the virus could have been engineered as a bioweapon.
“I think it’s true that a lot is still unknown and our scientists, Chinese scientists, American scientists, scientists of other countries, are doing their best to learn more about the virus, but it’s very harmful, it’s very dangerous, to stir up suspicion, rumors and spread them among the people,” he said.
“For one thing, this will create panic,” Cui said, adding that it could also foment xenophobia and racist discrimination.
“There are all kinds of speculation and rumors,” he added, noting that there were also conspiracy theories about the virus originating in the United States. “How can we believe all these crazy things?”
On another note, when asked about Chen Qiushi, a citizen journalist who disappeared after covering the outbreak in Wuhan, Cui responded “I have never heard of this guy, so I don’t have any information to share with you.”
Watch this video:
But back to the virus, Cotton first tweeted questions about the virus, pointing out that China’s most advanced virus research laboratory, known as the Wuhan Institute of Virology, was situated in Wuhan, near the epicenter of the outbreak.
Replying to the ambassador’s interview, Cotton again accused Beijing of lying and trying to cover up the outbreak during its early days.
.@ambcuitianki, here’s what’s not a conspiracy, not a theory: Fact: China lied about virus starting in Wuhan food market https://t.co/Jgpy1Oh75Y — Tom Cotton (@SenTomCotton) February 9, 2020
Later, he tweeted that the “burden of proof” is on “the communists” to explain where this virus came from. He has acknowledged the theory that it originated when a human consumed a wild animal like a snake or a bat, which were sold at a market in Wuhan identified as the epicenter of the outbreak.
Fact: super-lab is just a few miles from that market Where did it start? We don’t know. But burden of proof is on you & fellow communists. Open up now to competent international scientists. — Tom Cotton (@SenTomCotton) February 9, 2020
During a Tuesday morning on CNBC, Cotton sounded as convincing as ever, warning that Beijing has repeatedly lied about the outbreak – particularly during the earliest and most critical stages – while China’s refusal to let American or any other international scientists or researchers to assist in the research on the ground in China is also curious, to say the least.
In response to the ambassador’s accusations of fearmongering that have been directed at him, Cotton argued that “what really spreads fear is China lying about the origins of this disease and about the number of people who have it and excluding American and other western scientists from studying it. As far as racism…the Chinese people are the people are most harmed by the Chinese government’s incompetence and duplicity.”
He added that the virus could be the “single biggest threat to the US and Chinese growth this year.”
Unsurprisingly, the Squawk Box clip published by CNBC edits out Cotton’s responses to questions about the bioweapons.

newswars--2020-02-11--Chris Matthews Fears Bernie’s Socialist Dystopia – Left Loses It

Chris Matthews has managed to enrage the left – loyal supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders ( I-VT ) , in particular – by daring to aim his trademark hyperbole straight at the socialist 2020 hopeful .
A stalwart of that bastion of deep , political thought known as MSNBC , Matthews is famous for maniacal rants about politicians who say and do things of which he does not approve .
He is also famous for his almost creepy adoration of former President Barack Obama .
On Feb. 7 – whether he intended to or not – Matthews held up a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was savage .
In 2008 , Matthews said “ I felt this thrill going up my leg , ” after watching then-candidate Obama speak during the Democratic primary race .
The current president , though , has given him no such erotic sensations .
When Donald Trump used the words “ America First ” during his inaugural speech , Matthews described it as “ Hitlerian.
” Despite the horrors visited upon Europe by Hitler ’ s regime , no-one on the left took issue with such an analogy .
Moments before Trump ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Matthews compared the president to no less a being than Satan himself , saying the president ’ s supporters had made “ a deal with the Devil.
” Consider that : A U.S. president compared to a creature that represents eternal damnation and torture in the afterlife elicits not even a raised eyebrow on the left .
Following the president ’ s address to GOP members of Congress on his impeachment and acquittal , the venerated and vegetating host claimed that Trump was “ calling on his troops to fight to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bureaucracy itself.
” Was Matthews chided by his own side for being too dramatic or hysterical ?
He was not .
Fast forward to the Feb. 7 Democratic primary debate in New Hampshire .
Matthews had the nerve to express some reservations about what a Bernie Sanders presidency could portend .
Referring to the fact that the Vermont senator promotes socialist policies , Matthews said : “ I have an attitude about [ socialists ] .
I remember the Cold War .
I have an attitude towards [ sic ] Castro .
I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ won the Cold War , there would have been executions in Central Park and I might have been one of the ones getting executed.
” It may seem amusing , on its face , but Matthews appeared to have a moment of clarity when he wondered aloud what Sanders thought of the late Cuban socialist dictator .
“ We all thought [ Castro ] was great when he first… I could cheer like mad for him when he first came in and then he became a communist and started shooting every one of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of political media have described Matthews ’ rant as “ unhinged , ” but why ?
With a straight face , these same people will compare Trump to Hitler but are appalled that someone would suggest the presidency of a self-declared socialist might lead to public executions .
For sure , Sanders has more in common with Castro than Trump has in common with Hitler – and Castro did indeed have his political opponents killed .
In fact , every socialist regime in history has imprisoned or slaughtered politicians , thinkers , journalists @ @ @ @ @ @ @ speak out against it .
It is also worth considering , before one shuffles Matthews off to an asylum – or , perhaps , to a “ re-education camp , ” – that campaign staffers for the senator have been recorded , on video , discussing their plans to send Trump supporters to re-education camps to teach them “ how not to be a f***ing Nazi.
” Martin Weissgerber , a paid field organizer for the Sanders campaign and a self-identified communist , was recorded announcing his intentions : “ I ’ ll @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to learn how to shoot and go train .
I ’ m ready for the f***ing revolution , bro.
” He went on to explain how the Senate and the judicial branch should be dissolved “ and just have somebody like Bernie Sanders and a cabinet of people make all the decisions… ” As well as remarking that “ What will help is when we send all the Republicans to the re-education camps , ” Weissgerber went on to say that he considered the Soviet Union to be “ the most progressive place @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” It should be remembered that the wonderfully “ progressive ” Soviet regime murdered or starved to death well over 20 million people .
These are the words of a man who works for the Sanders campaign .
One can make the very reasonable assumption that Weissgerber is not the only Sanders supporter who feels this way because others have been recorded expressing similar sentiments .
Is it unreasonable , then , to put forward the possibility that extreme political violence could follow , if Sanders were to win a presidential election ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Americans vastly outnumber the “ Bernie Bros ” – even on the political left – and so the dreams of Weissgerber and his ilk will not be realized .
Sanders himself likely has no stomach for a Stalinist-style purge of his opponents and has no possible means of orchestrating one even if he did .
Nevertheless , it should not be forgotten that Germans , prior to 1933 , would likely have laughed if anyone predicted to them that Hitler would do the things he did .
Likewise , the Russian people , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ could not have imagined the horrors and deprivations that would befall them over the next seven decades .
More to the point , though , the modern American left should not be all that surprised or shocked when someone raises the specter of a dystopian future : They do it on an almost daily basis – and with far less evidence to back up their predictions .

Matthews On Trump
Moments before Trump’s 2020 State of the Union Address, Matthews compared the president to no less a being than Satan himself, saying the president’s supporters had made “a deal with the Devil.” Consider that: A U.S. president compared to a creature that represents eternal damnation and torture in the afterlife elicits not even a raised eyebrow on the left.

He was not.
Matthews On Socialism
Fast forward to the Feb. 7 Democratic primary debate in New Hampshire. Matthews had the nerve to express some reservations about what a Bernie Sanders presidency could portend. Referring to the fact that the Vermont senator promotes socialist policies, Matthews said:
“I have an attitude about [socialists]. I remember the Cold War. I have an attitude towards [sic] Castro. I believe if Castro and the Reds had won the Cold War, there would have been executions in Central Park and I might have been one of the ones getting executed.”
It may seem amusing, on its face, but Matthews appeared to have a moment of clarity when he wondered aloud what Sanders thought of the late Cuban socialist dictator. “We all thought [Castro] was great when he first… I could cheer like mad for him when he first came in and then he became a communist and started shooting every one of his enemies.”
Journalists and other observers of political media have described Matthews’ rant as “unhinged,” but why? With a straight face, these same people will compare Trump to Hitler but are appalled that someone would suggest the presidency of a self-declared socialist might lead to public executions. For sure, Sanders has more in common with Castro than Trump has in common with Hitler – and Castro did indeed have his political opponents killed. In fact, every socialist regime in history has imprisoned or slaughtered politicians, thinkers, journalists, and even ordinary citizens who dared speak out against it.
Bernie Bros Want You Dead
It is also worth considering, before one shuffles Matthews off to an asylum – or, perhaps, to a “re-education camp,” – that campaign staffers for the senator have been recorded, on video, discussing their plans to send Trump supporters to re-education camps to teach them “how not to be a f***ing Nazi.”
Martin Weissgerber, a paid field organizer for the Sanders campaign and a self-identified communist, was recorded announcing his intentions: “I’ll straight up get armed. I want to learn how to shoot and go train. I’m ready for the f***ing revolution, bro.” He went on to explain how the Senate and the judicial branch should be dissolved “and just have somebody like Bernie Sanders and a cabinet of people make all the decisions…”
As well as remarking that “What will help is when we send all the Republicans to the re-education camps,” Weissgerber went on to say that he considered the Soviet Union to be “the most progressive place, to date, in the world.” It should be remembered that the wonderfully “progressive” Soviet regime murdered or starved to death well over 20 million people.
These are the words of a man who works for the Sanders campaign. One can make the very reasonable assumption that Weissgerber is not the only Sanders supporter who feels this way because others have been recorded expressing similar sentiments. Is it unreasonable, then, to put forward the possibility that extreme political violence could follow, if Sanders were to win a presidential election?
In reality, of course, rational Americans vastly outnumber the “Bernie Bros” – even on the political left – and so the dreams of Weissgerber and his ilk will not be realized. Sanders himself likely has no stomach for a Stalinist-style purge of his opponents and has no possible means of orchestrating one even if he did.
Nevertheless, it should not be forgotten that Germans, prior to 1933, would likely have laughed if anyone predicted to them that Hitler would do the things he did. Likewise, the Russian people, prior to the revolution of 1917, could not have imagined the horrors and deprivations that would befall them over the next seven decades.
More to the point, though, the modern American left should not be all that surprised or shocked when someone raises the specter of a dystopian future: They do it on an almost daily basis – and with far less evidence to back up their predictions.


newswars--2020-02-12--Watch: Trump Slams DOJ’s “Ridiculous” Recommendation in Roger Stone Case

President Trump on Tuesday told reporters he believed the recommendation issued by the Justice Department Monday , seeking 7-9 years imprisonment for his former campaign adviser Roger Stone , was “ an insult to our country.
” On Tuesday , the DOJ announced it would revise its recommendation following widespread condemnation from the president others at the Justice Department .
Asked if he had any part in seeking leniency from the DOJ for Stone , Trump replied he had not , before proceeding to call the nearly decade long sentence recommendation “ ridiculous.
” “ No , I didn ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump stated , adding , “ I ’ d be able to do it if I wanted .
I have the absolute right to do it – I stay out of things to a degree that people wouldn ’ t believe – but I didn ’ t speak to them.
” The president went on to call the entire case against Stone “ ridiculous , ” noting it stemmed from the FBI Special Counsel ’ s phony Russia collusion witch hunt , and described it as an “ insult to our country.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s ] recommendation was ridiculous .
I thought the whole prosecution was ridiculous .
And I look at others that haven ’ t been prosecuted , or I don ’ t know where it is now , but when you see that , I thought it was an insult to our country and it shouldn ’ t happen , and we ’ ll see what goes on there , but that was a horrible aberration , ” the president said .
“ These are , I guess , the same Mueller people that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ think it ’ s a disgrace .
I think it was a disgraceful recommendation .
They ought to be ashamed of themselves.
” The president ’ s latest remarks follow a tweet early Tuesday , calling the case against Stone “ disgraceful ” and a “ miscarriage of justice.
” On Tuesday , four prosecutors who argued the case against Stone last year quit following the Justice Department ’ s announcement it would lower Stone ’ s sentencing recommendation .
Lying to Congress ?
Where ’ s James Clapper ’ s perjury charge @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Where ’ s evidence of Russian interference ?
Where ’ s Trump when Roger & General Flynn are persecuted because Democrats hate the President ?
