Your 'foods' can be killing you! Synthetic foods produced in labs using the latest imprecise technology of gene-editing is discussed -- which Mr. Smith calls “GMO 2.0.” Resulting mutant microbes and toxic foods can threaten our health and that of the planet.

Joe Biden and a new era begin this afternoon. This poem was written Jan 18, 2021. May we all unite and love one another again. There's reason. Even if the major factor in the vacuum is the negative of Donald departing from any significant power over 330 Million Americans.

And he does have a job for which he is responsible to all of us Americans. Shedding ruination on our nation as he throws his garbage all over the floor as he slowly heads out the door. In spite.

And with his administration doing as bad as it is with Covid, he lies to his followers over and over again, lately telling them "We're rounding the corner." Do these people read or watch the news?

Trump & Co. seem to welcome this, at the same time denying it is happening. One word here: Helsinki. The photo on the left features Valery Gerasimov, Chief of Russia's Armed Forces - he is the man with the headphones on. He and Putin have decided to wage cyberwarfare at a 4 to 1 ration to physical warfare.

How will he co-opt it? While he still brings his followers together en masse packed together no masks. After just about everyone has heard the Bob Woodward [RAGE] tapes where Trump told that he knew the virus was 5X worse than the flu, and was more worrisome because it was contracted thru the air. And there he is with his sacrificial followers. His base. Whom he cares not a whit for. Including the evangelicals. A minute of silence please for the victims and their families of 9/11 day. And...

It's a kind of thievery. But we don't want him stealing the country and giving it to Putin, do we? Election Day 2020 arrives Nov 3. Russia is already at work with her hacking teams influencing our social media minds for their better outcome. Manipulating Democrats, Republicans, and Independents. Don't be oblivious! Trump wants to be President for Life! Michael Cohen told us that. Putin's got something on him. Compromised says Peter Strzok (pronounced Strock) in his new book. About Trump. And maybe our country too.

That's why he can't deal with Covid-19, to start with. Science doesn't often flow on a straight line when you are dealing with the unknown. It's trial and error. Assumption and theory. Experiments and studies are devised. Some bring revelation. Some bring disappointment. Adjustments have to be made. As mistakes are realized. One must be adaptable. It also helps to be intelligent. And perhaps not showing what a conman you are to your all-in followers. Who make little demand on...

The 20,000 threshold for false claims/lies made/said was crossed as President by our Commander-in-Cheat in July, as tolled by the Washington Post since Trump took office in 2017. That phrase Commander-in-Cheat, btw, is the title of a book about Trump cheating in golf, a game of honor. Which is missing in action in this President's character. Then follows a haiku which is 17 syllables in total. This Trump haiku addresses his secret police he h...

Yes, the President says vote twice. William Barr, the Attorney General, who is supposed to be defending the constitution for the people of America, when Trump says vote twice, Barr says I don't know what the law is in North Carolina. . . . Who is working for whom?

Going amoral, as is his m.o., now he suggests his voters cheat for him, as he cheats for himself - suggesting they should vote twice in the Nov 3 election. What kind of model for decency and justice do we have for President right now? This currently is his America. Shaped by his ruthless unscrupulous nature, while his dedicated 'base' takes whatever he dishes out. Impunity goes unpunished . . .

As tabulated by the Washington Post. That number has increased since that ignominious milestone was reached in July of 2020.

Now he has fallen like a Falwell will, partying and sinning on yachts with young women-not-his-wife. Not setting a very good example for the students at the religious university - where prohibited premarital sex and extramarital sex will not get you closer to Christ. The latest is: the young pool boy the Falwells met in Florida, and then flew around with them in their jet and received $1.8 million in support money for a project of his, has been interviewed...
