The Humor Divide

I agree with Batya Ungar-Sargon's observation that the main divide in the United States is not race, but economic class. I also agree with Jonathan Haidt's observation that those who have lost touch can be identified by their lack of humor:

Intellectual life used to be fun," Mr. Haidt said. "There's an emergent community, from center left to center right, of people who feel politically homeless and are recognizing that the big division is no longer between left and right, but between people who are on the extremes, who are humorless and aggressive and deluded by their passion and tribalism, versus the middle 70 percent of the country.

Andrew Sullivan Pulls Aside the Curtain to Expose the “Transqueer” Movement

Andrew Sullivan, a gay man who was a courageous leader of the movement to legalize gay marriage, has written a thoughtful article about the "transqueer" movement. Here's an excerpt:

"The truth is: we have come a long way in understanding and respecting the unique human experience of being transgender. In the US, trans people are protected by the gold standard of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. They are everywhere in our popular culture. An entire generation has even been told that being trans is the most glamorous thing you could possibly be. But none of this is sufficient for the transqueers. What they want is an abolition of biological sex for everyone; the end of men and of women as separate categories; the sex reassignment of children on demand; the destruction of the nuclear family; an end to the Hippocratic Oath; the abolition of homosexuality; the presence of male bodies in women’s showers, prisons and shelter; the creation of fantastical post-everything genders and pronouns; and the criminalization of anyone who would ever question this cultural revolution.

They are not winning, but it is not for lack of trying. The pseudoscience behind child transition is beginning to be exposed and puberty blockers are now banned in the UK outside clinical trials. A new lawsuit is being filed against the NCAA for destroying women’s sports. Public opinion has responded to the transqueer ideology by moving in the opposite direction, and now gay people are being caught in the queer crossfire."

How Corporate Media is Trying to Turn Free Speech into a “Right Wing” Position

More Medical Studies Needed Explore Dr. Paul Thomas’ Findings Regarding Vaccination

Dr. Paul Thomas gathered data from his patients over many years. 2,700 vaccinated and 560 unvaccinated. You can see Dr. Paul's data here.. He explains his findings below. I have no expertise in this area and I am not making any medical claims, except for this: This data is disturbing, arguably terrifying. More studies are needed to confirm or dispel Dr. Paul's findings and concerns.

I gathered information from 2,700+ vaccinated children and 500+ unvaccinated children in MY OWN CLINIC. The findings are remarkable: asthma, allergic rhinitis, eczema, sinusitis, gastroenteritis, respiratory infections, behavioral issues, ADD, ADHD, conjunctivitis, and breathing issues are all SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE in the #Vaccinated children.

Wait a minute, I thought that vaccines were supposed to prevent infections. What's going on here?"

Also, he shares an eye-opening observation: "In my 10 years of practice, I have had ZERO kids with ADHD that were unvaccinated! That's UNBELIEVABLE, folks!" - Do you know that NO AMISH person has ever been diagnosed with ADD or ADHD? What do the Amish and unvaccinated children have in common?

Wouldn’t it be beneficial to further understand the potential implications on the health of children who receive childhood vaccines? It seems like a NO-BRAINER to me
