( Natural News ) Conservatives who are livid over the way the deep state and their Democrat and media allies have attempted to oust President Donald Trump and overturn the results of the 2016 election have been waiting — and waiting — for Republicans to get serious about mounting a defense of him .
And we ’ ve heard plenty of Republicans say they are going to do just that , most notable among them Senate Judiciary Committee chair Lindsey Graham of South Carolina .
There is rarely a day that goes by when he isn ’ t appearing on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Fox News , to proclaim how unjust everything has been for the president and how he plans to right the wrongs .
Only , he never actually pulls the trigger on promised investigations .
He talks a great game , but he plays a lousy hand .
Now , as the Senate prepares to acquit the president of two sham articles of impeachment that were passed on partisan lines — no Republicans in the House supported them — Republicans in the upper chamber , led by Graham , are promising once more to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be behind the ongoing coup attempts .
As reported Monday by Zero Hedge , Graham told Fox Business Network ’ s Maria Bartiromo a day earlier that he is interested in understanding how the impeachment process began and why .
In particular , he and other GOP Senate chairmen are focusing in on an alleged CIA employee-turned “ whistleblower ” who claimed that President Trump improperly demanded a “ quid pro quo ” from the Ukrainian president , Volodymyr Zelensky .
“ I want to understand how all this crap started , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , can read the same investigative news reports explaining how it began as we ’ ve seen — told Bartiromo .
He added that the investigation would begin “ within weeks.
” He then claimed that the Senate Intelligence Committee chair , Sen. Richard Burr ( R-N.C. ) , also “ has told us that they will call the whistleblower ” to testify as to what he claimed in his complaint to the Intelligence Community inspector general , Michael Atkinson .
There is much to uncover — and prosecute Prior reporting noted that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ciaramella — said he ‘ heard ’ Trump demand on a phone call to Zelensky that the latter launch corruption investigations into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son , Hunter Biden , in exchange for military aid .

Any mention of an investigation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ made in the context of a suggestion , not a demand .

Senate GOP say they plan three-pronged investigation into origins of Ukraine whistleblower behind Trump impeachment, but will they actually do it?
Conservatives who are livid over the way the deep state and their Democrat and media allies have attempted to oust President Donald Trump and overturn the results of the 2016 election have been waiting — and waiting — for Republicans to get serious about mounting a defense of him.
And we’ve heard plenty of Republicans say they are going to do just that, most notable among them Senate Judiciary Committee chair Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.
There is rarely a day that goes by when he isn’t appearing on some cable news outlet, most often Fox News, to proclaim how unjust everything has been for the president and how he plans to right the wrongs.
Only, he never actually pulls the trigger on promised investigations. He talks a great game, but he plays a lousy hand.
Now, as the Senate prepares to acquit the president of two sham articles of impeachment that were passed on partisan lines — no Republicans in the House supported them — Republicans in the upper chamber, led by Graham, are promising once more to open investigations into actions and persons believed to be behind the ongoing coup attempts.
As reported Monday by Zero Hedge, Graham told Fox Business Network’s Maria Bartiromo a day earlier that he is interested in understanding how the impeachment process began and why.
In particular, he and other GOP Senate chairmen are focusing in on an alleged CIA employee-turned “whistleblower” who claimed that President Trump improperly demanded a “quid pro quo” from the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky.
“I want to understand how all this crap started,” Graham — who, we presume, can read the same investigative news reports explaining how it began as we’ve seen — told Bartiromo. He added that the investigation would begin “within weeks.”
He then claimed that the Senate Intelligence Committee chair, Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.), also “has told us that they will call the whistleblower” to testify as to what he claimed in his complaint to the Intelligence Community inspector general, Michael Atkinson.
There is much to uncover — and prosecute
Prior reporting noted that the whistleblower — believed to be Eric Ciaramella — said he ‘heard’ Trump demand on a phone call to Zelensky that the latter launch corruption investigations into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, in exchange for military aid.
A transcript of that phone call, on July 25 of last year, was released by the White House, and according to the document, at no time did the president make such a demand, nor did Zelensky accede to opening a corruption probe. Any mention of an investigation into alleged activities by the Bidens was made in the context of a suggestion, not a demand.
But beyond that, as Zero Hedge notes, it’s difficult to get excited about this latest pledge to investigate those attempting to bring down the president because Republicans, especially those in the Senate, have been making such promises for years now.
And yet, nothing has come of the threats.
“Whether it's a legitimate search for the truth or a convenient way to assuage frustrated Republican voters who wanted fireworks during the Senate impeachment trial has yet to be seen,” ZH’s Tyler Durden noted, adding, nevertheless:
Let’s recall what Senate Republicans plan to unravel;
The Whistelblower, outed by investigative reporter Paul Sperry, is a registered Democrat who worked for then-VP Joe Biden, former CIA Director John Brennan, and was appointed by former National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster in June, 2017 as his personal aide according to RedState. Ciaramella, who radio host Rush Limbaugh called "essentially a spy for John Brennan," was also a frequent visitor to the Obama White House.
In November the Washington Examiner reported that it is “likely” the whistleblower was aboard Air Force Two on at least one of the half-dozen visits Biden made to Ukraine.
There is more, much more. But the fact is, there is a lot to investigate and get out in the open — and, perhaps, to prosecute.
Will Republicans finally deliver?

Human Rights Campaign renames human genitals to please deranged transgenders
As part of the trendy obsession with going "trans" these days, the LGBTQ Human Rights Campaign (HRC) has launched a "Safer Sex for Trans Bodies" primer that instructs the next generation of youth into the "proper" use of LGBTQ-approved names for trans people's genitalia.
A "strapless," the guide explains, is a term used to describe "the genitals of trans women who have not had genital reconstruction (or 'bottom surgery'), sometimes referred to as a penis." And a "vagina," it further explains, isn't something that a biological woman is born with, but is rather a "word to talk about the genitals of trans women who have had bottom surgery."
So, what is a vagina now called on a biological woman? According to the primer, the proper terminology is front hole, which the guide explains "may self-lubricate, depending on age and hormones." And as far as who has a dick, the guide says "people of all genders" may have one, as a dick is a "word to describe external genitals," which can "come in all shapes and sizes."
There's also a section of the guide that offers tips about masturbation, including a section entitled, "SCREWING, SHAGGING OR MATTRESS DANCING," which explains how this "safe" form of self-pleasure offers trans bodies the opportunity to engage in sex "without barriers."

Transgenderism is a mental disorder, not an identity
As you might expect, Twitter was quick to condemn this Orwellian, and quite frankly disgusting, trans manifesto for basically hijacking the English language. One actual female user called out HRC for stealing the word vagina from real women, and giving them front hole instead.
"Wow, so trans women have a vagina, but us biological women have a 'front hole,'" this user tweeted. "LOL these people are insane," she added, referring to Amir Sariaslan, the guy from the HRC who first tweeted about his organization's language guide.
"What in the fresh politically correct dystopian 1984 language control hell is this?" asked another Twitter user about the HRC's attempted theft of common vernacular to suit a special interest LGBTQ cause that 99 percent of society would prefer not to have to hear about or deal with ever.
"Um, what point is there in downgrading the correct anatomical name for a born female's genitalia to 'front hole.' I can't even," commented another disgusted Twitter user in response to the HRC tweet.
"I'm pretty sure we've arrived at the Singularity now," joked another. Enlightenment has been a total black hole."
Perhaps the most declarative tweet of all was one guy's chastisement about how the HRC foundation "does not own language, fortunately." He concluded this tweet by stating simply, "I have two specific words for them," which you can figure out on your own."
As we've reported in the past, the HRC has been pushing all sorts of lies about transgenders, including the bizarre claim that they're victims of a "murder epidemic" being perpetrated by "transphobes." But the facts show that this is false, and that transgenders aren't being murdered at a rate any different than that of non-transgenders.
So, it's really no wonder that the HRC is now trying to redefine words to make "trans bodies" feel better about their mutilated selves – which of course attempts to put the rest of society in the awkward position of having to play along with this insanity in order to remain politically correct.
"Confusing children about the basics of life is evil," wrote one commenter at The Gateway Pundit. "Kids don't survive leftist lies. Plant the lie. Grow the delusion. Reap the death."
"Transsexuals are mentally ill," wrote another.

The radical Left is so insane that even BOY GEORGE has had enough of the stupid pronouns
Karma Chameleon singer Boy George is stirring the pot on Twitter by declaring transgender pronoun culture to be "as ridiculous as it gets!"
The English pop star had initially tweeted, "Leave your pronoun's (sic) at the door!" to his roughly 468,000 followers, with no further explanation as to the context. When one of his fans tweeted back, "As much as I love you, that does sound quite ridiculous," George responded, "You must refer to me as 'Napoleon' and that's as ridiculous as it gets!" referring to the trend among trans people demanding that people call them by their "preferred gender pronouns."
"I used the ladies (sic) toilet throughout the 80s!" George further tweeted, again referring to the ongoing controversy over bathroom labeling and which one trans people should use.
Another angry Twitter user responded to George by asking him what it would take "to show others respect by using their preferred pronouns?" adding, "I wouldn't not use your name so why would I not use your preferred pronouns? People are too quick to criticise others' lifestyles & identities. If people want attention there's usually a reason. Ask them," to which George retorted back, "Thanks for that but I have eyes and can mostly describe what I see!"
After being repeatedly accused of transphobia, George, a homosexual, emphasized that, "There's nothing 'phobic' about Miss Boy George! Nish! Nada!" George had previously defended singer Marc Almond against similar attacks that accused him of "transphobia" as well.
"I don't believe for a nano second that [Marc Almond] is transphobic!" George added in another tweet. "He ain't tainted love!"
Almond personally responded to the accusations levied against him by claiming that he has "always had Trans friends and been and championed in life and song since the early 80's (sic)." "I've enjoyed playing with Gender long before it was fashionable. Twitter hysteria and drama. I'm sure you know that."
The tweet that first got Almond in trouble with the Twitter mob stated, "WOMEN now have to use a toilet where a MAN has pissed all over the seat," referring to the trans bathroom issue. "Heard so many complaining at venues. But people are scared to complain because of the righteous 'I'm offended' fascists."
Even leftist LGBTQs from previous generations have had it with today's transgender insanity
That Almond would correctly use the word fascists to describe LGBTQ Twitter mob outrage further proves that modern-day LGBTQs have gone certifiably crazy with their demands. When LGBTQ icons like Boy George and Marc Almond are calling out new-wave LGBTQs as fascists, you know the trans mafia has gone completely out of control.
"I'm a bloke, male, who sometimes [likes] to explore a feminine side depending on how I feel, or what kind of show I'm doing, always have, as many did from my Gen – didn't need a label, don't need one now," Almond further added, blasting today's fragile and always-offended LGBTQs who are always angry about something – which is one reason among many why nobody should pander to them.
Keep in mind that both George and Almond are liberals, at least when it comes to LGBTQ acceptance and promotion throughout society. And yet, even they can't stand what's going on in the world today with so-called "cancel culture" and ratcheting-up political correctness.
"Yes, all this PC stuff is giving me a headache too," George tweeted to Almond back in September. "Bring back Julie Burchill. She knew how to dismantle a career!"

naturalnews--2020-02-04--This uncanny AI can guess what you look like by analyzing voice recordings

( Natural News ) Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ( MIT ) are working on an AI project that can accurately map what people look like just by analyzing voice recordings from the internet .
The researchers published their first paper on the project : “ Speech2Face : Learning the Face behind a Voice.
” The researchers trained the AI neural networks using millions of YouTube audio clips taken from the internet .
The clips included voice audio from over 100,000 individuals .
The AI was able to make clever distinctions in voice tone and inflection and could @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ethnicity of the individuals .
Most shocking : The AI attempted to recreate the faces of the people based on the sound of their voice alone .
The computer simulation was able to determine key features on people ’ s faces and then generate lookalike photos of the people — all based on random audio clips .
The researchers did not intervene in the project .
The AI grew smarter on its own .
After analyzing millions of audio clips , the computer was able to recreate faces that closely resembled the original @ @ @ @ @ @ @ AI was not 100 percent accurate and failed to judge some of the ethnicities , especially when a person spoke more than one language .
Researchers attempt to address privacy concerns in the study AFTER using people ’ s likenesses without permission The research does raise privacy concerns .
The MIT researchers intend to address those privacy concerns now that people are speaking out .
A researcher at Cloudfare , Nick Sullivan , was notified by a friend that his face was recreated in the AI research project .
“ I was not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ being used in this research .
I ’ m not sure how concerned I should be about that , ” Sullivan said .
The researchers did not get consent from anyone whose audio , photos and likeness were used in the study .
The researchers said no one should be too worried about privacy violations because the computer can ’ t generate the “ true identity of a person ” and can only create “ average-looking faces.
” The researchers explained their project to Arxiv : “ Our goal in this work is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ infer how a person looks from the way they talk .
Obviously , there is no one-to-one matching between faces and voices .
Thus , our goal is not to predict a recognizable image of the exact face , but rather to capture dominant facial traits of the person that are correlated with the input speech.
” The researchers seek to use the AI for “ useful applications ” such as “ attaching a representative face to phone/video calls based on the speaker ’ s voice.
” The researchers even hinted that the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” correlations in facial patterns .
In future applications , these “ breakthroughs ” could make it easier to map nodal points on a face .
The researchers wrote , “ Our reconstructions reveal non-negligible correlations between craniofacial features ( e.g.
, nose structure ) and voice.
” It will be interesting to see how authorities use this artificial learning in the future .
It could potentially be paired with facial recognition software to single people out of a crowded field or to help further clarify nodal points and recreate an image of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the technology can help authorities hunt someone down based on sounds taken from a random audio clip .

The researchers trained the AI neural networks using millions of YouTube audio clips taken from the internet. The clips included voice audio from over 100,000 individuals. The AI was able to make clever distinctions in voice tone and inflection and could accurately predict the age, gender and ethnicity of the individuals. Most shocking: The AI attempted to recreate the faces of the people based on the sound of their voice alone. The computer simulation was able to determine key features on people’s faces and then generate lookalike photos of the people -- all based on random audio clips.
The researchers did not intervene in the project. The AI grew smarter on its own. After analyzing millions of audio clips, the computer was able to recreate faces that closely resembled the original speaker in the video clip. The AI was not 100 percent accurate and failed to judge some of the ethnicities, especially when a person spoke more than one language.
Researchers attempt to address privacy concerns in the study AFTER using people's likenesses without permission
The research does raise privacy concerns. The MIT researchers intend to address those privacy concerns now that people are speaking out. A researcher at Cloudfare, Nick Sullivan, was notified by a friend that his face was recreated in the AI research project. “I was not informed that my image or likeness was being used in this research. I'm not sure how concerned I should be about that,” Sullivan said. The researchers did not get consent from anyone whose audio, photos and likeness were used in the study. The researchers said no one should be too worried about privacy violations because the computer can’t generate the “true identity of a person” and can only create “average-looking faces.”
The researchers explained their project to Arxiv: “Our goal in this work is to study to what extent we can infer how a person looks from the way they talk. Obviously, there is no one-to-one matching between faces and voices. Thus, our goal is not to predict a recognizable image of the exact face, but rather to capture dominant facial traits of the person that are correlated with the input speech.” The researchers seek to use the AI for “useful applications” such as “attaching a representative face to phone/video calls based on the speaker's voice.”
The researchers even hinted that the AI was able to detect “breakthrough” correlations in facial patterns. In future applications, these "breakthroughs" could make it easier to map nodal points on a face. The researchers wrote, “Our reconstructions reveal non-negligible correlations between craniofacial features (e.g., nose structure) and voice.”
It will be interesting to see how authorities use this artificial learning in the future. It could potentially be paired with facial recognition software to single people out of a crowded field or to help further clarify nodal points and recreate an image of an individual's face. Perhaps the technology can help authorities hunt someone down based on sounds taken from a random audio clip.

( Natural News ) While the northern pitcher plant ( Sarracenia purpurea ) is well-known for consuming insects and other invertebrates as supplementary food , a recent study published in the journal Ecology points out that about one in five pitcher plants in Ontario ’ s Algonquin Provincial Park has upgraded its menu to include juvenile salamanders .

Carnivorous pitcher plants have an occasional taste for vertebrates, study finds
While the northern pitcher plant (Sarracenia purpurea) is well-known for consuming insects and other invertebrates as supplementary food, a recent study published in the journal Ecology points out that about one in five pitcher plants in Ontario's Algonquin Provincial Park has upgraded its menu to include juvenile salamanders
While Asiatic pitcher plants such as the Philippines’ Nepenthes attenboroughii are known to consume small birds and mice, this is the first study showing North American counterparts making vertebrates a regular part of their diets.
In an interview with CBC Radio, Alex Smith, an associate biology professor at the University of Guelph in Ontario, said he encountered the then-undocumented behavior from the plants while conducting field work with a team of undergraduates in the area.
According to Smith, he consulted Patrick Moldowan, an ecologist at the University of Toronto, who, coincidentally, spotted the same behavior a year earlier.
The two researchers then conducted a more extensive survey and sampled the contents of several hundred pitcher plants in a section of the park's wetlands during the late summer, which is when young salamanders metamorphose and leave the water to live on dry land. According to the researchers, they found that roughly 20 percent of the surveyed plants contained at least one salamander, and that numerous pitcher plants had captured more than one salamander at a time.
Smith and Moldowan speculated that the amphibians may have used the plants as refuge once they reached dry land.
“When plants were approached or disturbed, most salamanders rapidly swam to the bottom of the pitcher and tightly wedged themselves out of sight in the narrow, tapered stem of the pitcher,” the researchers noted in their paper. However, they noted that it is also possible that the amphibians were in fact drawn to the pitchers by the insects feeding on the plants’ nectar.
Once trapped in a pitcher, the salamanders survived from anywhere between three and 19 days before they died in the pitcher’s acidic juice. After their deaths, the salamanders decomposed in approximately 10 days. The researchers said the amphibians act as a nutrient boost for the plants, which have evolved to live in food-scarce, highly acidic bogs.
Bog soils are poor in nutrients like nitrogen, so carnivorous plants like venus flytraps, sundews, butterworts and pitcher plants feed on insects to supplement their needs. (Related: Bye, bye, bugs: 12 plants to keep the bugs away.)
Despite the plants’ predation on the small amphibians, the population of the salamanders does not seem to be in decline, as the International Union for Conservation of Nature lists the species as “of least concern.”
In an email to The Smithsonian, Smith said the recent study offers a reminder of “the many secrets that could be hiding in even well-trodden parts of the natural world,” noting that “this crazy discovery” of previously unknown predatory behavior of a plant upon a vertebrate happened in a relatively well-studied area on relatively well-studied plants and animals.
According to Moldowan, he is planning on conducting another survey over a wider period of time, as he wants to find out if the pitchers consume other vertebrates such as frogs and toads. “This is probably a much more widespread phenomenon than we currently recognize,” Moldowan said.
