"'Every day is a good day when you're floating,' (astronaut Lt. Colonel Anne McClain) said. 'Your whole life you spend walking around Earth and then all of a sudden you get to fly like you've dreamed of.'"
"Nearly a year in space put astronaut Scott Kelly's immune system on high alert and changed the activity of some of his genes compared to his Earth-bound identical twin, researchers said Friday."
"'And that's when Dr. Vink told us that, you know, rare diseases are being cured in this day and age, but we don't know what triggers full-term labor,' Crystal recalls. 'That just collectively blew away everyone in the room.'"
"'It is probable that human cases of chronic wasting disease associated with consumption with contaminated meat will be documented in the years ahead,' (Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota) told the Minnesota legislature last week. 'It’s possible the number of human cases will be substantial, and will not be isolated events.'" Remember when we didn't really have to worry about Mad Cow because it could never infect humans? Yeah, not so much anymore. In humans it's known as Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (although CJD covers a wide range of disease vectors and is diagnosed by the affects these diseases have on the human brain).
"The boy was arrested for causing a disruption and refusing repeated instructions from school staff and law enforcement, Polk County Public Schools spokesperson Kyle Kennedy said in a statement. He was not arrested for refusing to participate in the pledge – even though students have the right to do so by Florida law and district policy."
"When asked if that support would continue if (the YPG) aligned themselves with Assad, LaCamera said: 'No… Once that relationship is severed, because they go back to the regime, which we don’t have a relationship with, (or) the Russians ... when that happens then we will no longer be partners with them,' LaCamera told a small group of reporters." The wicked webs we weave.
"Australia's Prime Minister Scott Morrison has said the country's major political parties were hacked earlier this month alongside the federal parliament by a 'sophisticated state actor'." Whom might it be?
"Vice President Mike Pence left room for applause. But no one clapped. At a security conference in Munich on Saturday, Pence mentioned President Donald Trump, noting he was there 'on behalf of a champion of freedom and of a strong national defense.' The vice president went on: 'I bring greetings from the 45th President of the United States of America, President Donald Trump.' Pence then paused for applause but no one in the room clapped. After what seem like a very long five seconds, Pence continues with his speech." Awkward.
"'I don't know that we have ever seen in all of history an example of the number, the volume and the significance of the contacts between people in and around the president, his campaign, with our most serious, our existential international enemy: the government of Russia,' McCabe told NPR's Morning Edition. 'That's just remarkable to me.'" Or as I put it, there sure are a lotta Russians hanging around.
Another day when Trump again declares his fellow Americans and American institutions to be enemies of the people… This has become our norm. Just another day in America. Jim Wright on the president's assault on our liberties. And here I will note that the 1st amendment is a restriction on the government censoring speech and freedom of religion, not incumbent on us citizens. Just wanted that noted before someone decides do to the "put you have to print my comment on your blog because of the 1st amendment." No. I do not, because I am not the government, or in government (any longer - see CV).
"Baldwin is asking if Trump's tweet 'constitutes a threat' to his family's safety." President Snowflake tweets his disapproval.
"A federal court will likely first analyze whether the president had the statutory authority to act, and whether he exceeded the limits of that authority."
