Instead Of Whining About “Russian Election Interference”, Democrats Should Be Searching For A Winning Nominee

Here we go again .

Unfortunately , this old narrative @ @ @ @ @ @ @ congressional briefing , and the mainstream media has taken this story and run with it… Needless to say , the Republican lawmakers that were at this briefing were not pleased with what they were hearing at all… Of course we should all be in favor of election security .
Personally , I have been advocating a return to 100 percent paper ballots in all elections for many years .
But there has never been an allegation that the Russians changed even a single vote .
Instead , it is has always been alleged @ @ @ @ @ @ @ American voters during the 2016 election using social media and other means , and many Democrats still believe that this is the reason why Trump won .
Unfortunately , the truth is that all sorts of interested parties all over the globe work very hard to try to influence our elections .

But the Democrats will never agree to that .
Look , instead of coming up with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lose the upcoming election in advance , what the Democrats should really be doing is coming up with a winning nominee .

But the idea that Russian social media accounts could swing the outcome of the U.S. presidential election is absolutely ludicrous.
Unfortunately, this old narrative was given new life during a recent congressional briefing, and the mainstream media has taken this story and run with it…
Election intelligence officials warned lawmakers that Russia was interfering in the 2020 campaign with a goal of getting President Donald Trump re-elected, according to several media reports. First reported by the New York Times, the February 13 briefing led to Trump reprimanding Acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire, and accused him of being disloyal after aide Shelby Pierson told lawmakers aggressive Russian actors were continuing election-intrusion from 2016.
Needless to say, the Republican lawmakers that were at this briefing were not pleased with what they were hearing at all…
“The Republicans [on the committee] went nuts,” over Pierson’s presentation, the member told The Daily Beast. A second source familiar with the briefing said that Republicans didn’t understand why the Kremlin would try to boost Trump, since he had been so tough on Russia, in their view. Reps. Brad Wenstrup (R-OH), Will Hurd (R-TX) and Chris Stewart (R-UT)—who according to The Times, has been a Trump favorite to replace Maguire—were particularly vocal in their skepticism, the member said.
Of course we should all be in favor of election security. Personally, I have been advocating a return to 100 percent paper ballots in all elections for many years.
But there has never been an allegation that the Russians changed even a single vote. Instead, it is has always been alleged that they attempted to “influence” American voters during the 2016 election using social media and other means, and many Democrats still believe that this is the reason why Trump won.

Some of those interested parties favor the Democrats and some of those interested parties favor the Republicans. In the Internet age we will never be able to eliminate foreign influence entirely, and that is a reality that we are just going to have to live with.
And far more important than a few Russian social media accounts is the fact that foreign ownership of U.S. media outlets has grown substantially in recent years, and the way that those media outlets slant their election coverage has a tremendous influence over how Americans ultimately vote.
So if we really wanted to get serious about foreign influence in our elections, we would completely ban all foreign ownership of our media companies.

Joe Biden was supposed to be the nominee, but he keeps putting his foot in his mouth, and there are way too many videos out there of him acting very creepy. His campaign is absolutely imploding at this point, but there is still a chance that he could grab a few hundred delegates.
Of course the Democratic establishment is absolutely desperate to keep a full-blown socialist from being nominated, because they know that Trump would definitely win in that case.
So the DNC has gone out of their way to help Michael Bloomberg, because it appears very unlikely that either Pete Buttigieg or Amy Klobuchar will be able to stop Bernie Sanders.
But Bloomberg’s candidacy was doomed from the start. Even though he can throw billions of dollars at this race, the Democrats simply are not going to nominate a racist, sexist billionaire that was still a registered Republican just a few years ago.
Yes, Bloomberg had surged in the polls recently due to all the ads he was buying, but he was absolutely eviscerated during Wednesday night’s debate. It was such a brutal affair that the New York Post is calling it “the greatest debate in human history”…
Oh, was it glorious — the sheer raging hostility spraying across the stage as every campaign besides the Bernie Sanders and Michael Bloomberg bids faces the desperate possibility that each might fade into the woodwork against the Bernie surge and the Bloomberg billions. It’s not that the gloves were off. No, my friends, everybody was wearing steel-tipped boots and going right for the crotch. Those weren’t snowflakes. They were nunchucks.
The primary target of the attacks was Bloomberg, and he seemed entirely unprepared for the relentless onslaught…
Former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg wilted under a barrage of withering criticism from his much taller Democratic rivals during his first appearance at a primary debate. “Mini Mike,” as the billionaire candidate is sometimes called, was attacked 10 times in the first 10 minutes of Wednesday’s debate in Nevada. The gloves finally came off in what was by far the most exhilarating contest of the 2020 election cycle. “It was the Roman Coliseum, it was boxing in the 1950s,” said MSNBC’s Chris Matthews following the debate. “[Bloomberg] had no way to stop it.”
It is being reported that Bloomberg spoke for about 13 minutes during the two hour debate, and during that time he was attacked by his opponents 45 times.
Ouch.
In particular, one absolutely perfect zinger from Elizabeth Warren will never be forgotten…
“I’d like to talk about who we’re running against, a billionaire who calls women ‘fat broads’ and ‘horse-faced lesbians,’” she said from the Paris Theater. “And, no, I’m not talking about Donald Trump. I’m talking about Mayor Bloomberg.”
Bloomberg might as well pack up and go home, because he doesn’t have a prayer of winning now.
But he isn’t going to do that. Instead, he actually tried to joke about the debate on Thursday…
Mike Bloomberg got right back on the campaign trail Thursday morning, holding a rally where he joked about his abysmal Democratic debate performance. ‘So how was your night last night?’ he asked a crowd of supporters in Salt Lake City, Utah, alluding to the throttling he took by his 2020 rivals, starting off with a gutting courtesy of Sen. Elizabeth Warren. ‘Look the real winner of the debate last night was Donald Trump,’ Bloomberg said.
What the Democratic Party has on their hands is a giant mess.
None of the current candidates can beat Trump, and they know it.
Their only hope is to divide the delegates enough ways so that Bernie Sanders cannot secure the nomination before the convention.
And then at the convention they need to try to convince someone that can actually win to step in and become the nominee. At the same time, they will need to somehow convince Sanders and his supporters that they are being fair.
Of course that may not be possible, and that is very good news for President Trump.
Because right now things are looking brighter than ever for the Trump campaign, and the Democrats only have themselves to blame.


newswars--2020-02-21--Biden Promises Far Reaching Gun Ban

Biden Promises Far Reaching Gun Ban

Democratic candidate ‘ Sleepy ’ Joe Biden raised eyebrows Thursday evening when he told a gathering at a CNN sponsored town hall that if elected he would seek to implement a ban on all semi-automatic firearms , as well as “ clips that have multiple bullets in them.
” That description encompasses most guns in America .
“ I ’ m going to do everything in my power in office or out of office to get those assault weapons off the street , which I have done once already , ” Biden claimed .
“ And to get those clips @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for sale , not be able to sell silencers , all those things.
” he added .
The comments came following an earlier campaign stop in Las Vegas , the site of the deadliest mass shooting in American history , where Biden surrounded himself with signs that read “ Beat the NRA with Biden , ” and vowed to “ go after ” gun manufacturers .

Not likely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Public Health , which released a study this week that “ did not find an independent association between assault weapon bans and the incidence of fatal mass shootings after controlling for the effects of bans on large-capacity magazines .
”

Democratic candidate ‘Sleepy’ Joe Biden raised eyebrows Thursday evening when he told a gathering at a CNN sponsored town hall that if elected he would seek to implement a ban on all semi-automatic firearms, as well as “clips that have multiple bullets in them.”
That description encompasses most guns in America.
Joe Biden ratcheted up the Democrat Party’s attacks on the Second Amendment: Biden: ban “assault weapons” & “get those clips that have multiple bullets in them not for sale, not be able to sell silencers, all those things.” This is a broadside on every law abiding American. pic.twitter.com/NDA0YYVlQv — Steve Guest (@SteveGuest) February 21, 2020
“I’m going to do everything in my power in office or out of office to get those assault weapons off the street, which I have done once already,” Biden claimed.
“And to get those clips that have multiple bullets in them not for sale, not be able to sell silencers, all those things.” he added.
The comments came following an earlier campaign stop in Las Vegas, the site of the deadliest mass shooting in American history, where Biden surrounded himself with signs that read “Beat the NRA with Biden,” and vowed to “go after” gun manufacturers.
“You know, any one of you and the people behind me should be able to walk into a court of law and demand that gun manufacturers with their enormous profits be held accountable for the carnage they’re responsible for inflicting on society,” Biden said, adding “I promise you, if I’m our next president, they’re going to be held accountable, because I’m coming after them.”

Would Biden’s extreme ban do anything to prevent mass shootings in America? Not likely according to Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, which released a study this week that “did not find an independent association between assault weapon bans and the incidence of fatal mass shootings after controlling for the effects of bans on large-capacity magazines.”

newswars--2020-02-21--Bill Would Hold “Gun Free Zones” Liable for Losses Suffered by Gun Owners

A Minnesota House rep. has introduced a new bill intended to hold “ gun free zones ” responsible for their patrons ’ safety .
The new bill , House File 3051 introduced on Feb. 11 by District 23B Rep. Jeremy Munson , would make businesses that post “ gun free zone ” signs liable in the event a gun owner suffers a loss which could have been prevented by having their firearm .
“ So this law simply says if you ’ re going to make people give up their right to self defense , then you must defend them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them , ” Rep. Munson stated in an interview describing his bill .
Under the bill , property owners would “ assume absolute custodial responsibility for the safety and defense of the unarmed person while the person is located on the owner ’ s or entity ’ s property that is posted with a sign prohibiting firearms.
” “ The responsibility of the property owner or entity for the safety and defense of any person who is otherwise authorized to carry a firearm or who is not otherwise prohibited from carrying a firearm @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , trespassers , employees of the person or entity , vicious animals , wild animals , and defensible man-made and natural hazards , ” reads a subsection of the bill .
Rep. Munson says the bill is necessary since businesses with “ gun free zone ” signs are basically advertising the fact that patrons are soft targets .
“ A lot of people carry a gun for self defense , ” says Munson , “ and more and more businesses are putting ‘ gun free zone ’ signs on their business really as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ don ’ t like guns .
But in saying that it ’ s a gun free zone , they ’ re not actually creating a ‘ gun free zone ’ – they ’ re saying if you ’ re a law abiding citizen leave your gun in your car – but what they ’ re really creating is an environment where people can be targeted , because you ’ re giving up your right to self defense when you enter that building.
” Munson says while the bill may not pass all the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ legislators should still look at doing something about the lack of safety in gun free zones .
“ This really is a discussion we need to have in Minnesota about what gun free zones mean and how it ’ s really a false sense of security , and it ’ s actually in my opinion attracting bad actors to commit crimes in areas where they know the law abiding people aren ’ t able to defend themselves , ” Munson says .

A Minnesota House rep. has introduced a new bill intended to hold “gun free zones” responsible for their patrons’ safety.
The new bill, House File 3051 introduced on Feb. 11 by District 23B Rep. Jeremy Munson, would make businesses that post “gun free zone” signs liable in the event a gun owner suffers a loss which could have been prevented by having their firearm.
“So this law simply says if you’re going to make people give up their right to self defense, then you must defend them and you must provide security and protect them,” Rep. Munson stated in an interview describing his bill.
Under the bill, property owners would “assume absolute custodial responsibility for the safety and defense of the unarmed person while the person is located on the owner’s or entity’s property that is posted with a sign prohibiting firearms.”
“The responsibility of the property owner or entity for the safety and defense of any person who is otherwise authorized to carry a firearm or who is not otherwise prohibited from carrying a firearm extends to the conduct of other invitees, trespassers, employees of the person or entity, vicious animals, wild animals, and defensible man-made and natural hazards,” reads a subsection of the bill.
Rep. Munson says the bill is necessary since businesses with “gun free zone” signs are basically advertising the fact that patrons are soft targets.
“A lot of people carry a gun for self defense,” says Munson, “and more and more businesses are putting ‘gun free zone’ signs on their business really as a way to market to people who don’t like guns. But in saying that it’s a gun free zone, they’re not actually creating a ‘gun free zone’ – they’re saying if you’re a law abiding citizen leave your gun in your car – but what they’re really creating is an environment where people can be targeted, because you’re giving up your right to self defense when you enter that building.”
Munson says while the bill may not pass all the legal hurdles required to become law, legislators should still look at doing something about the lack of safety in gun free zones.
“This really is a discussion we need to have in Minnesota about what gun free zones mean and how it’s really a false sense of security, and it’s actually in my opinion attracting bad actors to commit crimes in areas where they know the law abiding people aren’t able to defend themselves,” Munson says.

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced Friday that the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) military air base in Tindal, Australia, will receive a major upgrade over the next several years in an effort to provide both Canberra and Washington a leg-up in the region.
Previous reports that Australia’s strategic Northern Territory air base would be undergoing an extensive upgrade were confirmed on Friday as the prime minister spoke with reporters in Katherine, Australia, some 15 kilometers from the base.
“It will be integral to our alliance with the United States, and [will] increase the reach of Air Force capabilities in the Indo-Pacific,” Morrison said, as reported by Australian Aviation. The outlet noted that RAAF Base Tindal is expected to be the home of 72 F-35 Joint Strike Fighter jets, as well as long-range bomber jets.
“As part of these upgrades, RAAF Base Tindal will be able to deliver enhanced air-to-air refueling and air support capabilities, ensuring we can support critical ADF [Australian Defense Force] operations — everything from air combat missions through to responding to natural disasters both at home and throughout our region,” the prime minister asserted on February 21.
This upgrade, slated for completion by 2027, would be RAAF Base Tindal’s first since 1984.
It was previously noted in an October 2019 news release by Australian Defense Minister Linda Reynolds that the Pentagon had pledged to invest billions of dollars in efforts to make significant upgrades to the facilities in the Northern Territory.

newswars--2020-02-21--Drug Cocktail Holds Promise For Spinal Injuries

The early-stage research in rats , by a group of scientists led by Imperial College London , revealed two existing medications can boost the body ’ s own repair machinery , by triggering the release of stem cells from the bone marrow .
The scientists published their research in the journal npj Regenerative Medicine .
The team say the two drugs ( currently used for bone marrow transplants and bladder control ) could be used for different types of bone fractures , including to the spine , hip and leg , to aid healing after surgery or fractures .
When @ @ @ @ @ @ @ injury , the bone marrow ( the spongy tissue within bone ) mobilises different types of stem cells to help repair and regenerate tissue .
The new research , involving scientists from Beaumont Health in the U.S , suggests it may be possible to boost the body ’ s ability to repair itself and speed repair , by using new drug combinations to put the bone marrow into a state of ‘ red alert ’ and send specific kinds of stem cells into action .
In the new study , funded by Wellcome @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the bone marrow of healthy rats to release mesenchymal stem cells , a type of adult stem cell that can turn into bone , and help repair bone fractures .
Professor Sara Rankin , corresponding author of the study from the National Heart and Lung Institute at Imperial College London , said : “ The body repairs itself all the time .
We know that when bones break they will heal , and this requires the activation of stem cells in the bone .
However , when the damage is severe , there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do of its own accord .
We hope that by using these existing medications to mobilise stem cells , as we were able to do in rats in our new study , we could potentially call up extra numbers of these stem cells , in order to boost our bodies own ability to mend itself and accelerate the repair process .

newswars--2020-02-21--World First: Physicists Use Laser ‘Tweezers’ to Grab, Merge Individual Atoms

While we vaguely understand how atoms unite to form molecules , we ’ ve never been able to directly witness exactly how this happens… until now .
The breakthrough could pave the way for humans to build at the atomic level .
Physicists from the University of Otago recently managed to ‘ grab ’ two isolated atoms with a pair of laser ‘ tweezers , ’ hold them still and then push them together .
Previously , scientists could only calculate and theorize how these atomic hook-ups took place , based on observations of groups of atoms cooled down to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ didn ’ t yield much insight into the mechanics of individual interactions .
Made from polarized light , these laser tweezers can act as traps for tiny objects , but the atoms must be cooled way down first and then separated from other atoms in empty space .
The process is a lot more complicated than it sounds , consider it akin to putting a ship in a bottle , but millions of times smaller .
“ Our method involves the individual trapping and cooling of three atoms to a temperature of about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ focused laser beams in a [ vacuum ] chamber , around the size of a toaster , ” says physicist Mikkel F. Andersen .
The Otago team took atoms of rubidium , which usually bond to form molecules of dirubidium , as the test subjects for their experiment .

Previously, scientists could only calculate and theorize how these atomic hook-ups took place, based on observations of groups of atoms cooled down to an extreme degree, but crowd observations didn’t yield much insight into the mechanics of individual interactions.
Made from polarized light, these laser tweezers can act as traps for tiny objects, but the atoms must be cooled way down first and then separated from other atoms in empty space. The process is a lot more complicated than it sounds, consider it akin to putting a ship in a bottle, but millions of times smaller.
“Our method involves the individual trapping and cooling of three atoms to a temperature of about a millionth of a Kelvin using highly focused laser beams in a [vacuum] chamber, around the size of a toaster,” says physicist Mikkel F. Andersen.
The Otago team took atoms of rubidium, which usually bond to form molecules of dirubidium, as the test subjects for their experiment.
As we surely all remember from high school chemistry, molecules require at least three atoms to form. So, while the researchers could get a pair of rubidium atoms to interact, they needed a third to make the bond hold.
Using a camera to magnify the changes in the atoms, when all three were brought together the team caught the moment the rubidium particles interacted, and it showed that they didn’t unite as nearly as quickly as existing models could explain. For now, the researchers have put the exact moment of bonding down to short-range quantum effects, that headache-inducing realm of physics we’ve yet to fully grasp.
“With development, this technique could provide a way to build and control single molecules of particular chemicals,” said physicist and team member Marvin Weyland, hinting at technologies like microscopic circuits and advanced medicines that we could one day construct atom by atom.

newswars--2020-02-21--Did The Fed Just Reveal Its Plans For A Digital Dollar Replacement?

Thanks to the Federal Reserve , the idea that you can go into a store and anonymously purchase something with cash might soon be obsolete .
Why ?
Because they ’ re developing something called Fedcoin , which would be based on blockchain technology .
If you ’ re unfamiliar with blockchain technology , you ’ re not alone .
Here ’ s how a piece on Motley Fool describes it : Right now , Bitcoin is a popular form of cryptocurrency that operates using blockchain technology .
Like the description above , Bitcoin is decentralized , its transactions are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ involved .
But the irony is , the blockchain tech behind the Fed ’ s idea isn ’ t likely to be used the way Bitcoin uses it .
Not even close .
Originally , the “ Fedcoin ” idea appeared to be a security enhancement to a century-old system used for clearing checks and cash transactions called Fedwire .
According to NASDAQ in 2017 : The idea didn ’ t seem to move very much three years ago , but now the idea of a central bank-controlled “ Fedcoin ” seems like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , according to a Reuters report from February 5 .
According to the report , “ Dozens of central banks globally are also doing such work , ” including China .
Of course , there is risk , according to Federal Reserve Governor Lael Brainard .
For example , there is the potential for a country-wide run on banks if panic ensued while the Fed “ flipped a switch ” and made Fedcoin the primary currency for the United States .
But blogger Robert Wenzel warns the risks of the Federal Reserve issuing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deeper than that .
Lawmakers try to package and sell whatever ideas they come up with , no matter how intrusive or ineffective they might be .
According to Brainard , Fedcoin has the potential to provide “ greater value at a lower cost ” for monetary transactions .
Sounds reasonable , if taken at face value .
But no matter how the Fed may try to “ sell ” the idea of utilizing Fedcoin in the future , Wenzel ’ s warning is pretty clear : A Federal Reserve created digital coin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ steps ever taken by a government agency .
It would put in the hands of the government the potential to create a digital currency with the ability to track all transactions in an economy—and prohibit transactions for any reason .
In terms of future individual freedom , this would be a nightmare .
If you use cash at a grocery store , no one will know who you are or what you bought unless it was caught on video or you use a reward card .
In the rare instance a store accepts @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
But if you were to use a centrally-controlled digital currency like Fedcoin , who knows what the Fed will decide to track now or in the future ?
Or what meddling they could come up with to deny your transaction ?
If the Federal Reserve wanted to outlaw cash , and your only choice was to use Fedcoin to make purchases , then your financial life would be tracked under their watchful eye .
Protect your retirement by maintaining your financial freedom Who knows if the Federal Reserve will move closer to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
Perhaps Fedcoin will add to the number of ways the Fed can meddle with your retirement ?
Until that gets sorted out , you can consider other options to protect your retirement with a tangible asset that can ’ t be converted into digital form .
Precious metals like gold and silver continue to hold value , and have for thousands of years .
And because they are physical assets , you can ’ t be tracked as you could if Fedcoin moves from being a bad idea to reality .

Thanks to the Federal Reserve, the idea that you can go into a store and anonymously purchase something with cash might soon be obsolete.
Why? Because they’re developing something called Fedcoin, which would be based on blockchain technology.
If you’re unfamiliar with blockchain technology, you’re not alone. Here’s how a piece on Motley Fool describes it:
The digital and decentralized ledger that records all transactions. Every time someone buys digital coins on a decentralized exchange, sells coins, transfers coins, or buys a good or service with virtual coins, a ledger records that transaction, often in an encrypted fashion, to protect it from cybercriminals. These transactions are also recorded and processed without a third-party provider, which is usually a bank.
Right now, Bitcoin is a popular form of cryptocurrency that operates using blockchain technology. Like the description above, Bitcoin is decentralized, its transactions are anonymous, and no central bank is involved.
But the irony is, the blockchain tech behind the Fed’s idea isn’t likely to be used the way Bitcoin uses it. Not even close.
Originally, the “Fedcoin” idea appeared to be a security enhancement to a century-old system used for clearing checks and cash transactions called Fedwire. According to NASDAQ in 2017:
This technology will bring Fedwire into the 21st Century. Tentatively called Fedcoin, this Federal Reserve cryptocurrency could replace the dollar as we know it.
The idea didn’t seem to move very much three years ago, but now the idea of a central bank-controlled “Fedcoin” seems like it could be moving closer to reality, according to a Reuters report from February 5.
According to the report, “Dozens of central banks globally are also doing such work,” including China.

But blogger Robert Wenzel warns the risks of the Federal Reserve issuing its own cyber currency may run even deeper than that.
“This is not good.”
Lawmakers try to package and sell whatever ideas they come up with, no matter how intrusive or ineffective they might be.
According to Brainard, Fedcoin has the potential to provide “greater value at a lower cost” for monetary transactions. Sounds reasonable, if taken at face value.
But no matter how the Fed may try to “sell” the idea of utilizing Fedcoin in the future, Wenzel’s warning is pretty clear:
A Federal Reserve created digital coin could be one of the most dangerous steps ever taken by a government agency. It would put in the hands of the government the potential to create a digital currency with the ability to track all transactions in an economy—and prohibit transactions for any reason. In terms of future individual freedom, this would be a nightmare.
If you use cash at a grocery store, no one will know who you are or what you bought unless it was caught on video or you use a reward card. In the rare instance a store accepts Bitcoin, the same would be true.
But if you were to use a centrally-controlled digital currency like Fedcoin, who knows what the Fed will decide to track now or in the future? Or what meddling they could come up with to deny your transaction?
If the Federal Reserve wanted to outlaw cash, and your only choice was to use Fedcoin to make purchases, then your financial life would be tracked under their watchful eye.
“Not good” indeed.
Protect your retirement by maintaining your financial freedom
Who knows if the Federal Reserve will move closer to making cash a thing of the past? Perhaps Fedcoin will add to the number of ways the Fed can meddle with your retirement?
Until that gets sorted out, you can consider other options to protect your retirement with a tangible asset that can’t be converted into digital form.
Precious metals like gold and silver continue to hold value, and have for thousands of years. And because they are physical assets, you can’t be tracked as you could if Fedcoin moves from being a bad idea to reality.
