1-9-19, Front Page -- Starbucks workers report finding blood and needles in bathrooms, as well as being pricked by improperly disposed-of needles, risking exposure to HIV and hepatitis. Since the 'open bathroom policy' has been in place, the coffee giant is exploring possible remedies after employees expressed fears about being pricked by uncapped discarded used needles and experiencing related health risks. Starbucks is testing solutions including installing sharps-disposal boxes, utilizing heavier-duty trash bags to prevent needle pokes and removing trash cans from certain bathrooms. More here

Starbucks baristas poked by discarded needles from drug users
Oct 2, 2018 - After three Starbucks employees were poked by needles while on the job in Seattle they told local news that hypodermic needles were found on the job nearly every day. They said they had to take antiviral medications to protect themselves from HIV and hepatitis. This is what working for a social justice company looks like.

1-4-19, A federal appeals court upheld President Trump’s military homosexual or  transgender ban, lifting an injunction that prevented the government from limiting their military service.

The appeals judges pointed out that “judges must give deference to military leaders when it comes to policy decisions about standards for service.”
​
Former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis’ review proposed a modified, but official policy to ban those with gender dysphoria diagnoses from serving in the military. Those diagnosed with gender dysphoria experience dangerous side effects such as suicide, anxiety, depression and drug addiction. Also their surgeries and therapies too often were not successful in alleviating these side effects.

The Supreme court is due to consider whether to hear three separate government appeals at its private conference on Jan. 11, 2019 as other federal courts issued injunctions against the policy, which applied nationwide. More here

​Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria Is 'Social Contagion' | More here
1-7-19, Breitbart -- Abigail Shrier writes  that the medical community is far too "affirmative" in its treatment of rapid onset gender dysphoria [ROGD] that's is a psychological affliction that begins in early childhood and is characterized by a severe and persistent feeling that one was born the wrong sex.  ROGD is “a social contagion that comes on suddenly in adolescence, afflicting teens who’d never exhibited any confusion about their sex.”Unlike other social contagions, such as cutting and bulimia, ROGD gets “full support from the medical community” instead of the treatment such contagions deserve, she contends. Shrier said: “The standard for dealing with teens who assert they are transgender is ‘affirmative care’— immediately granting the patient’s stated new identity. When the role of therapists should be to assist their patients in overcoming their unhealthy urges rather than pandering to them." [..snip]

In 2016, the American College of Pediatricians warned educators and legislators that “a life of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex” is dangerous for children, but there warning has gone largely unheeded. A statement by the group said that “a person’s belief that he or she is something they are not is, at best, a sign of confused thinking.” This problem exists in the mind and not the body and “it should be treated as such.”

 1-3-19, Front Page, Daniel Greenfield -- Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos recently visited Orthodox Jewish schools and touted them as models of school choice. There is no word in the English language that the Left hates more than “choice” [unless it's about killing babies in the womb].

The New York State Dept of Education now threatens to shut down Jewish schools and report parents who refuse to send their children to leftist government schools to child protection authorities. As in the Soviet Union, giving a child a Jewish education would be treated as evidence of child abuse. The government would be able to abduct children for the crime of receiving a Jewish education.

Jewish schools aren’t the only targets of this discriminatory campaign by the educational establishment. Catholic schools have also come under attack with the Archdiocese of New York posting an editorial that declares, “Leviathan has now focused its attention on religious schools here in New York, with the clear intention of either forcing them to submit to its authority or face destruction.”

The USA education lobby has gone to war against charter schools too. And Orthodox Jewish schools are seen as even worse than charter schools. They don’t bow to the teachers’ unions. The money their parents spend on education doesn’t end up in the pockets of union bosses and their Democrat political allies. The new "Indian Residential Schools" had arrived. More here

​American Indian Boarding Schools Haunt Many
5-12-08, NPR -- For the government, it was a possible solution to the so-called Indian problem. For the tens of thousands of Indians who went to boarding schools, it's largely remembered as a time of abuse and desecration of culture.

​INDIAN RESIDENTIAL SCHOOLS - Cultural Genocide
Native American boarding schools, also known as Indian Residential Schools were established in the United States during the late 19th and mid 20th centuries with a primary objective of assimilating Native American children and youth into Euro-American culture, while at the same time providing a basic education in Euro-American subject matters.
A cornerstone of the settlement agreement is the Indian residential schools truth and reconciliation commission. This commission presents a unique opportunity to educate all Canadians on the Indian residential schools system.

• 12-30-18, NBC News -- Washington State Democrat Senator Jamie Pedersen said a new method to dispose of dead humans is called “recomposition” that involves placing human bodies in a vessel and hastening their decomposition into a nutrient-dense soil that then may be returned to families. The aim is a less expensive way of dealing with human remains that is better for the environment than: 

 - burial, which can leach chemicals into the ground
- or cremation, which releases earth-warming carbon dioxide.

12-28-18, NaturalNews -- New research proves that while brain aging is inevitable, brain decline is not. Research made on octogenarians who are “superagers” give exciting new evidence to how we perceive geriatric care and mental health.

The elderly are ascribed to pity and ill-concealed contempt; considering them beyond hope in their declining forgetful years. However, a new group of older adults are challenging these assumptions.

Case in point: Donald Tenbrunsel is an 89-year old with the cognitive age of a 25-year-old. Not only is Mr. Tenbrunsel a decade older than the average male life expectancy, his brain is as sharp as a millennial’s. He is part of a new group of “superagers” who assert that “typical” signs of aging — such as being forgetful or not being able to learn new things -- may not be as typical as initially believed.

The super agers aren’t just different on the inside; they also have more energy than most people their age and share a positive, inquisitive outlook. Research has linked a positive attitude with overall health. And some studies have suggested that people who are “cognitively active and socially engaged” have a reduced chance of developing dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.  More here and here

What's the Difference Between Hemp and Marijuana?
According to a 1976 study published by the International Association of Plant Taxonomy concluded “both hemp varieties and marijuana varieties are of the same genus, Cannabis, and the same species. Hemp refers to strains of Cannabis sativa that have been bred [male plants] specifically for fiber used for clothing and construction, oils and topical ointments, nutritional benefits and a wide and growing variety of other purposes that don’t involve intoxication.

Marijuana is a slang term used to describe strains of Cannabis sativa specifically bred [female plants] for the potent resinous glands (trichomes) that grow on the flowers and some leaves (buds). The female cannabis plant grows glands on the leaves of its flowers that contain at least 60 identified and active cannabinoids - drug (among other beneficial compounds) that have a plethora of medical uses. 

Dana Larsen said, “The international definition of hemp as opposed to marijuana was developed by a Canadian researcher in 1971 scientist Ernest Small published a little-known, but very influential book, The Species Problem in Cannabis. Small drew an arbitrary line on the continuum of cannabis types, and decided that 0.3 percent THC in a sifted batch of cannabis flowers was the difference between hemp and marijuana.” Excerpted more here and here www.growweedeasy.com/marijuana-boy-girl

12-17-18, NBCNews -- Hays County Texas's Roxli Doss is back to horseback riding since her inoperable cancerous brain tumor disappeared. Doctors are amazed because medically it just doesn't make sense.

It's hard to imagine that since June 2018 doctors diagnosed Roxli with an inoperable brain tumor called diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, or DIPG [here].

Dr. Virginia Harrod with Dell Children’s Medical Center said, "It is very rare, but when we see it, it is a devastating disease. You have decreased ability to swallow, sometimes vision loss, decreased ability to talk, eventually difficulty with breathing."

Roxli went through weeks of radiation, even though there is no cure. All the family and parents Gena and Scott Doss could do was pray for a miracle; AND THEY GOT ONE! ​More here AND here

7-8-2014, Judicial Watch -- According to a U.S. Congressman, Phil Gingrey who is also medical doctor.he hordes of illegal migrant minors [and adults] entering the U.S. are bringing serious diseases—including swine flu, dengue fever, possibly Ebola virus and tuberculosis—that present a danger to the American public.

There is a “severe and dangerous” crisis, says the Georgia lawmaker, Phil Gingrey. Most of the Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) are coming from Central America and they’re importing infectious diseases considered to be largely eradicated in this country. 

In a hard-hitting letter to the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Congressman Gingrey demands that the agency keep Americans informed about its plan to handle the growing public health crisis posed by the influx of minors. 

Gingrey mentions reports of Border Patrol agents contracting diseases through contact with the infected illegal aliens. A few weeks ago Judicial Watch reported that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is forcing Border Patrol agents to serve as babysitters for the UACs. 

Dr Gingrey demands that the CDC take immediate action to assess the public risk posed by the UACs and their subsequent transfer to different parts of the country. “I would also like information on what is being done to protect border patrol agents who come in contact with these diseases, what decontamination efforts are taking place, and what is included in medical screenings of the children.”

The [Obama] administration has worked hard to keep that information secret, though some of it is slowly leaking out. One major news station reports that tuberculosis is spreading at the camps housing the illegal immigrant minors while the government downplays the severity of the matter. At least half a dozen anonymous sources, including nurses and healthcare providers, treating UAC’s at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio say the government is covering up a very serious health threat. Specifically, tuberculosis has become a dangerous issue at both the border and the camps, according to several sources cited in the story. One source confirms that “the amount of tuberculosis is astonishing.”

12-10-18, NaturalNews -- The onslaught of weapons against healthy humanity began about 100 years ago when chemical warfare was launched by the American Medical Association when they eliminated nutrition classes from medical colleges replacing it with chemical medications. Then came processed foods, vaccines, chemotherapy, and GMOs to fuel the fire of preventable disease epidemics in America.Currently, since 2001 to 2018 we've seen nearly 19 million deaths annually from chemotherapy, not cancer, when only roughly 750,000 Americans are dying from cancer itself. The short-term and long-term side effects of chemotherapy are enough to make any sane person, who is not already brainwashed by mass media and their quack doctors, refuse it and choose other options that prove much better chances at beating cancer, and ones that don’t literally annihilate the human immune system in the process. [..snip]

If you don’t die from the chemotherapy and it’s insane side effects, you’ve still got a high chance of dying from cancers you didn’t even have when you went in for treatment, because the chemotherapy itself is carcinogenic, and causes new cancers to develop and spread throughout the body, as science and research have proven. Why on earth is this even legal, or called “medicine” to begin with? It’s a mind-blowing ordeal (literally) and the medical community is “all in” on the most horrific Ponzi scheme ever.

Supreme Court Voted NOT to Hear Case About Taxpayer Funding Planned Parenthood - The actual legal issue of both cases did not strictly have to do with taxpayer funding of abortions or Planned Parenthood, or the abortion issue at all.
12-10-18, Life News -- On Monday, 12/10/18,  six of the nine justices refused to take the cases out of Kansas and Louisiana where two lower courts split on Planned Parenthood funding issues. These involved the states’ decisions to revoke taxpayer funding from Planned Parenthood after videos exposed the abortion giant allegedly selling the body parts of aborted babies.

The Issue Voted on Was Medicaid Law NOT Abortion

According to the National Review, the actual legal issue of both cases did not strictly have to do with taxpayer funding of abortions or Planned Parenthood, or the abortion issue at all. The justices were asked to consider “whether Medicaid recipients have standing to challenge states’ determination of which groups qualify as Medicaid providers.” More here and  here

Daniel 1:11-13

12-10-18, A good example of the healthy way we should eat is given in the Old Testament. Young Daniel and his friends Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah [later named Belteshazzar, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego] were ordered to dine with King Nebuchadnezzar. Daniel persuaded his handler [chief of the eunuchs Ashpenaz] to allow them to eat what they called ‘PULSE’ [peas, beans and seeds that grow in pods] drinking only water. After ten days the King wanted to gain wisdom and knowledge from the Hebrew boys and Daniel proved their diet was better.

“When King Nebuchadnezzar questioned the boys in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm.” Daniel 1:20

Interesting that until the global flood of Noah, apparently mankind were vegetarians. Then God added meat and fish to our diet:

“God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered. Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.” Genesis 9:1-3

12-9-18, Seven Natural Foods That Have Shown to Reduce Blood Pressure:

1. Bananas are high in potassium, which reduces the effect of salt on your body. Eating bananas can also help you prevent muscle cramps since potassium is a main electrolyte driving your muscle and nerve function, including your heartbeat.
2. Kale is a tall, dark and fibrous vegetable has made its way to mainstream dinner plates over the past few years. Get this leafy green into your diet to get a boost in fiber, magnesium, potassium, and vitamins K and E. Just a cup of kale a day supplements 9% of both the potassium and calcium and 6% of the magnesium your body needs; also vitamin K to keep your artery walls soft and flexible. It’s responsible for diverting calcium away from your arteries and into your bones to prevent artery stiffness.
3. Beets are filled with nitrates that are absorbed and changed into nitric oxide, an important chemical that helps dilate your blood vessels and decreases inflammation in the body.  Most of the nitrates are naturally occurring and are essential to healthy bodily function.
4. Sweet potatoes are high in fiber, they do a great job helping your body absorb other nutrients. They also make digestion easier on your organs by speeding up the process. Also high in magnesium and potassium. Magnesium intake is known as an effective mediator for high blood pressure; it also causes nitric oxide to release. The orange-colored vegetable gets its color from its abundance of beta-carotene—an antioxidant that helps to reduce inflammation, cell damage and oxidation to prevent aging.
5. Mangoes often called the “King of Fruits” originating from southern Asia, specifically eastern India. Rich in magnesium, potassium, fiber, vitamins A and E and selenium. Your body can’t produce selenium on its own, so you must get it from your diet in order to reap its benefits, including improving blood flow and your body’s antioxidant capabilities.
6. Pineapples are the only known natural source for bromelain, a cocktail of protein-digesting enzymes. Though too much bromelain can be harmful for those with significantly high blood pressure, it can be very helpful for those with osteoarthritis by providing joint inflammation relief. It also benefits heart health by preventing blood from clotting.  One cup of fresh pineapple will supply you with 131% of your daily vitamin C needs. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant with the ability to keep your skin healthy, as well as lower blood pressure. Pineapples also contain potassium and magnesium.
7. Sunflower seeds are actually the fruit of the sunflower plant. This fruit is an outstanding source of potassium, magnesium and vitamin E. Vitamin E is a significant player in preventing cholesterol oxidation. When cholesterol is oxidized, it can stick to the walls of your blood vessels, leading to plaque buildup and high blood pressure. ​More here

[Note: clearly eating a natural diet will prevent most illnesses!]

12-3-18, Natural News -- Key to beating cancer is understanding what works for the body — and what doesn’t. Studies show that the following five foods kill cancer cells:

Green tea
A study in the journal Anticancer Research points out that epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), the active ingredient in green tea, could be used to treat certain types of cancer, as it was found to inhibit and suppress tumors, based on cancer stem cell models.

Ginger
A component found in ginger, has been found to perform better than chemotherapy in targeting cancer cells without harming healthy cells around it. The research, published in PLOS, has noted that 6-shogaol promotes programmed cell death (apoptosis) in cancer cells.

Turmeric
Turmeric is revered in Ayurvedic medicine for its multiple health benefits, as well as its ability to treat various diseases — mainly because of its active ingredient curcumin. In a recent issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, an international study has found that curcumin can bind with certain proteins in the body to prevent cancer cells from spreading.

Grapes
The most popular member of the Vitaceae family contains compounds that can effectively treat certain types of cancer. The study, published in BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, suggests that the proanthocyanidins and resveratrol in grapes can be used to colon cancer stem cells.

Blueberries
A study in Pathology and Oncology Research has found that blueberry extract can make cancer cells more vulnerable to radiation therapy. In particular, they found that while blueberries can reduce the number of cancer cells by 25 percent, combining it with radiation therapy increased its efficacy, killing nearly 70 percent of cervical cancer cells. These are just some of the foods that have been found to treat cancer cells.

12-3-18, Surely it's politically incorrect to say that the dangerous ticks, fleas and diseases coming into the USA are being carried across our border by foreign illegal migrants. Nonetheless true. The Asian long horned tick was first discovered on a sheep in New Jersey in August 2017 and has now been found in nine states: Virginia, West Virginia, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Maryland and Arkansas. The Washington Post reported it's the first invasive tick species to reach the U.S. in approximately 80 years.

The Center for Disease Control [CDC] said, "Where this tick exists, it's an important vector of human and animal disease agents. Studies in Asia identified ticks infected with various diseases all of the following pathogen groups circulate zoonotically in the United States: Anaplasma, Babesia, Borrelia, Ehrlichia and Rickettsia."

In 2013 seventeen people in So Korea died from a hemorrhagic fever transmitted from a virus carried by the tick. The CDC said the species is potentially capable of spreading a large number of diseases. More from Newsweek here

​1. We must view our pre-retirement lifestyle with a plan of what can sustain us after we quit the workforce. If not, retirement could mean a sharp drop in our living standards.
2. Remember that Social Security is designed to replace no more than 40% of pre-retirement income—and for many, that 40% is an overestimate, because the benefit calculation is skewed toward lower income Americans.
3. Have a financial and estate plan that provides for your spouse and any others who depend on you financially—and who may outlive you. Income annuities, investment income streams and life insurance.
4. Never forget the non-financial aspects of your retirement; consider possible significant relocation long before you retire—and try it out first. It’s a big mistake to think of retirement purely as leisure time; fun stuff takes money.
5. Pay attention to communications from your employer, Social Security, Medicare, personal advisers and others. What you don’t know can hurt you. A missed deadline and any number of other goofs can do severe financial damage.
6. Put retirement savings ahead of other goals, like college or a vacation home. Unless you have a good pension plus Social Security.
7. Save as much as possible as soon as possible. Load up on savings early in your career and let the money work for you in the decades that follow. 
8. Recognize that your taxes may not be lower during retirement. All the signs point to higher taxes in the future for everyone. 
9. Place health care high on your list of fixed expenses. Medicare plus supplemental insurance can cost a retired couple more than $700 a month. Remember that Medicare has no out-of-pocket limits.
10. Invest in ways that will provide a steady income stream in retirement. In many ways, retirement is no different from your working years: Do not be totally exposed to stock market fluctuations. You don’t want to worry about where that 4% withdrawal rate will come from each year.

None of those was enough to exempt her from being on the receiving end of a full-fledged campaign to get her fired. Apparently her vast experience, knowledge and credentials are beside the point. Prof Wax doesn’t fear being called racist, sexist or xenophobic; probably because she’s been called many of those names before.

Solution: She wants and demands debate, evidence and accountability.

The straw that broke the camel’s back happened when student activists searching for dirt on Wax unearthed a 2017 podcast interview she did with economist and Brown University professor Glenn Loury [1] when she said about the issue of affirmative action: “I don’t think I’ve ever seen a black student graduate in the top quarter of (my) class, and rarely, rarely, in the top half. I can think of one or two students who scored in the first half of my required first-year Civil Procedure course.” More here

11-15-18, Doug Crowder, pastor of Magalia Pines Baptist Church, risked his life to save others as he gathered up 30 desperate residents and four church members, helping them take refuge at his church building. Church Pastor Doug Crowder reports that as the group loaded up into a convoy of vehicles and attempted to escape the clutches of this monstrous fire, the whole place “exploded.” We were in the driveway planning to leave,” he told Baptist Press, choked up with tears, “and the entire world erupted. The woods exploded. The Subway restaurant across the street exploded and on all sides of us was fire.”
With nowhere to run for escape, the group sprinted back inside the church building, huddled together and prayed. They could hear the roaring sound of flames ripping through buildings and the deafening blast of propane canisters detonating at a neighboring hardware store.

"We cried out to God for protection and He answered."

Despite the fury of the wildfire, the church building remained unscathed, and the group huddled inside endured the entire night without suffering any injury whatsoever. The Pastor said, “We were totally unscathed — totally; the fall leaves were still on the trees on the church’s property."

Despite the entire town of Magalia being leveled to the ground, and most of Paradise that is five miles away, staggeringly the church building remains unscathed. The entire group huddled inside praying the entire night without suffering any injury whatsoever. Pastor Crowder said, "It'll be years before Magalia is a town again, but all through that, our church will be standing and our church will be ministering as a beacon of hope as this small town community attempts to rebuild from the ashes."

The building of Magalia Baptist is being used as shelter to many who lost their homes. The members will feed and help people clean up as soon as possible sharing the love of Christ to everyone. More here
