To what extent modern Italians are (genetically) ancient Romans, I've wondered.
But according to this, modern Greeks are descended from Myceneans.
Not shocking but still interesting.

Wow, they musta been special, ICE military wannabes rappelling from Blackhawks onto that Chicago apartment complex, busting down hundreds of doors to contain the "Tren" members.

And, while terrorizing, traumatizing and financially distressing US citizens, they caught 2 Tren people.

Whoopee.

Enjoy your country's response to pandemic, food-borne, respiratory plagues.
The smartest and most experienced fuck this up, the scientists- at times.

Wait til you see what THIS idiot does.

I don't know which of your dear friends, your maybe future lovers, the biz partners who would have made you rich, won't be here because we abandoned public health.
And they died.

Have a great life without #CDC.

You don't have to travel far, but if you did, you'll get the same answer: MANY worldwide have aped the brilliance of the #CDC model of aggressive, pre-emptive disease control.
Like when then trundled into Zaire and Sudan to fight Ebola in '76.
Risking lives.

None owned it like CDC.

Between S Carolina bars and Mississippi homecoming festivities, 10 people were shot dead this weekend.

Every one of the dead was as valuable as was Charlie Kirk.

#CDC helped eradicate smallpox.
Their vaccine planning has spared untold numbers from fatal childhood diseases.
They helped reduce worldwide polio by 99%.

Many people you love, wouldn't be here today, but for CDC.

CDC was your friend.

Many have imitated its miracle.

In 1981, young men were found dying of mysterious immunodeficiency, later linked to HIV.

Not in a mood to pretend #CDC was destroyed only last week.

Founded in the 40s to combat US malaria, CDC became a crucial voice on much more than infectious disease.
It had tentacles everywhere from cancer to violence, and regulating pathogen containment.

There is no reason at all that long-successful polyvalent vaccine MMR should be converted to monovalent vaccines vs measles mumps or rubella.

Why are nonsensical science policies just pulled out of the asses of idiots and pretended real?

There'd be no reason to break MMR vaccine, which has live attenuated versions of measles, mumps and rubella (sometimes zoster) in 1 shot. They don't interfere with one another. Do you really prefer giving 4 shots to 1?

In my dreams, the president of my august country is NOT a virtually certain pedophile covering up his all too tight bonds with the most prominent pedophile and sex trafficker ever known.

But, as they say, dreams aren't worth shit.

No question that congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva is going to be the deciding vote in releasing the Epstein files, so Johnson won't swear the Arizonan in.

She's THE MOST DANGEROUS WOMAN IN AMERICA.

Hope she has life insurance.

BFF, don't you LOVE it when Mike Johnson says he's keeping the House closed because of something something shutdown?

We know better, both of us.

Pity poor Mike Johnson. He can't keep House closed forever, will lose his gig.
But if you call it back, they'll get the Epstein files, and he could face the trump guillotine.

No idea who the Venezuelan (?) fishing people were, falsely and posthumously enjoined with the gang Tren de Aragua.

Will we ever know what people in faraway lands know about the murder victims?

Will anybody be held accountable for their slaying?

The Nobel Peace Prize has suffered some hits, eg when the peacenik winner turns devil in later career.
But I think they won't suffer much prestige hit for failing to entertain last minute lobbying by social media tantrum from a guy who murders boaters in far off lands for political props.

If the NFL thought a flamboyant cross-dressing Puerto Rican superstar dude appropriate for Superbowl halftime, it's because they thought he'd make a fuckload more money than most, and I'll wager they never contemplated Lee Greenwood.

Let's say you want to immediately find the most vile antisemitism on the web.
Pro tip: don't search mentions of antisemitism.

Search mentions of "Soros".
