San Francisco International Airport welcomes the world to the City by the Bay, but the airport said homeless people have discovered the airport as a temporary shelter; especially in the early morning hours after the last BART train has pulled into the airport.
An airport official said they're working on a short term and long-term solution
..."Ultimately we want to develop advocacy that finds the proper channels for these individuals," said Yakel.
...A former airport worker told us she walked everywhere with a buddy in the early morning hours because she frequently encountered homeless in the airport, especially in the early morning hours on cold or rainy days.

Brain stimulation reverses age-related memory loss - Neuroscience News"Summary:
Transcranial magnetic stimulation applied to the parietal lobe improves the function of brain areas important for memory which are disrupted by aging.
The study reports TMS helps improve memory in older adults experiencing memory loss to the level of younger adults.

My Simple, Effective Comprehensive Illegal Immigration Reform Plan: Go Home
My Simple, Effective Comprehensive Illegal Immigration Reform Plan: Go Home"Get out, illegals.
Go home.
Or don’t go home – I don’t care where you go.
You just can’t stay here in America.
This is my elegant, uncomplicated comprehensive immigration reform plan.
If we did not invite you in – if you didn’t have the basic courtesy and respect for this country to ask to come here, then get out.
And don’t come back – if you snuck into America, you don’t get to come back.
It’s simple and fair.
The fair part is important, because it’s about time that our immigration laws be fair to the only people who should matter when we make our policies – American citizens.

Camille Paglia vs the trans-Taliban | Spectator USA:
"Camille Paglia has joined the ever-growing list of women in the metaphorical stocks being pelted with accusations of transphobia.
A number of blue-fringed students at her university are demanding she be fired for her statements criticizing some women who bring charges of sexual assault, and because of her comments about transgender people.
‘I am highly skeptical about the current transgender wave, which I think has been produced by far more complicated psychological and sociological factors than current gender discourse allows’, she said in 2017.
Why are they bringing this up now, you may ask?
Why ever not?
I am still hounded and bullied by the cabal for a comment piece I wrote in 2004.

This is the deliberate and coordinated big lie, the latest attempt to keep this coup together.
All the left united in the latest lie.
It is aimed at people so ignorant of their own nation’s affairs they don’t even realize that the Obama Administration actually spied on an opponent’s campaign and Nixon never did.”
Flashback: Was Obama administration illegal spying worse than Watergate?

Flashback: Was Obama administration illegal spying worse than Watergate?
It’s now become much clearer what happened.In 1972, some employees of President Nixon’sre-election committee were caught when they broke into the Democratic National Committee headquarters to plant a bug. This led to Nixon’s resignation and probably would have led to his felony prosecution had he not been pardoned by his successor, Gerald Ford.But if a single bugging of the political opposition is enough to bring down a presidency — and maybe lead to an unprecedented criminal prosecution of a former president — then what are we to make of the recently unveiled Obama administration program of massively spying on political opponents in violation of clearly established law?
Because that’s what was unveiled last week.
And yes, it was much worse than Watergate, since it involved the perversion of existing government agencies into political spying and persecution.

Medicare for All Hides Obamacare’s Flaws | National Review- And the Democrats are rallying behind it
Instead, they try to change the subject.
A decade ago, Democrats insisted that the Affordable Care Act would reduce the health-care costs of Americans and give the nation universal coverage.
A decade ago, Democrats insisted that the Affordable Care Act would reduce the health-care costs of Americans and give the nation universal coverage.
But the legislation has fallen so far short of its objectives that the party’s new generation is eager to sweep it aside in favor of Medicare for All.
...When campaigning for the White House in 2008, Barack Obama claimed that his health-care-reform proposals would “lower premiums by up to $2,500 for a typical family per year . . . by the end of [his] first term as president of the United States.”
Instead, the opposite proved to be true.
...health-insurance premiums for individual purchasers more than doubled in the first three years following the legislation’s enactment.
Premiums for ACA-compliant plans now average $4,700 per year, and deductibles also typically exceed $3,900 — a level far beyond the median health spending of $709 per year..."

Mueller Report Directly Contradicts Bombshell BuzzFeed Story | The Daily Caller:
Special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on the Russia investigation directly contradicts an explosive BuzzFeed story that claimed Mueller had evidence President Donald Trump directed Michael Cohen, his former attorney, to lie to Congress about a potential Moscow real estate deal.
The Jan. 18 BuzzFeed story claimed that Cohen “told the special counsel that after the election, the president personally instructed him to lie — by claiming that negotiations ended months earlier than they actually did — in order to obscure Trump’s involvement.”

Criminal child abuse!!-----Trans activists are promoting fake penises for girls under five to "pack" in their underwear if they identify as boys | The Bridgehead
Trans activists are promoting fake penises for girls under five to "pack" in their underwear if they identify as boys | The Bridgehead
"As the phenomenon of “transgender children” spikes right across the Western world, there has been a boom in websites, instructional videos, and products marketed towards young children to help them pose as the opposite sex.
“Packers,” for example, are prosthetic penises marketed to “trans girls”–some under five years of age–to put in their underwear in order to give them a “bulge” that helps them to appear as if they are male.
...One site even offers prosthetics for pre-pubescent girls that come with a harness so they can urinate while standing up, just like a boy.
Again, these products were designed for children.
They also offer underwear that helps young boys who identify as girls “tuck” their genitalia in such a way that they appear smooth, thus appearing more female. In case anyone thinks I am exaggerating–and this is a graphic material warning, as it deals with prosthetic genitalia–here is an instructional video for kids or “youth” who might want to use a “packer”:

"This is a must read although just a synopsis of a VDH article.
The important thing here is to start documenting the damage that the has been laid onto the country in money spent, opportunities lost, organizations and institutions damaged, personal lives turned upside down as well as quite a few intangibles.
That we need a reckoning is an understatement.
The institutions such as the FSA Courts, FBI, DOJ etc. will never be the same because they can never regain their reputations no matter how much the rank and file try to burnish them.
In truth, the people who work in these institutions have been badly treated by their superiors who believed that collateral damage was ok as long as it did not splatter onto them.
There is a long hard slog to go through ahead.
Hopefully the AG, the Presidents, the DOJ professionals, the IG, and others can start - barely start- to regain some sense of honor and try to at least stop the hemorrhaging.
We will see.
If there is not a full and open investigation, they might as well shutter those institutions because they will never be trusted by the people again."

There are so many flaws with 'Medicare for all' | TheHill
There are so many flaws with 'Medicare for all' | TheHill:
Under "Medicare for all," gynecologists or nurses who refused to perform an abortion — to end a human life — would have their employment agreements revoked. In other words, they would no longer be able to work for the only medical employer in the whole country: the government.
"Medicare for all" also strikes at medical conscience in the case of controversial treatments for gender dysphoria. Most liberals have decided that the only possible therapy for children who feel uncomfortable with their biological sex is puberty blocking, followed by life-long injections of opposite sex hormones and, eventually, mutilating surgeries.
Many physicians and therapists believe, however, that these are unethical experimental treatments. Unethical because children can’t consent to life-altering therapies whose extraordinary effects they cannot begin to understand.
