Is it actually too politically sensitive now to let the people know that the poles have already shifted and continue to do so....and by certain cosmic factors beyond the hyped "man only" cause for these climate events? Wind chills of minus-45 to minus-60 expected in Chicago, much of upper Midwest Brace yourself, Chicago. The Windy City and other areas in the upper Midwest are preparing for historic cold later this week, with some weather projections predicting around -45 to -60 wind chills. When the polar vortex plunges into the U.S., it will be warmer in parts of the Arctic — Greenland, northern Canada and Alaska — than in Chicago and Minneapolis, meteorologists said. Cities such as Fargo, Minneapolis, Green Bay, Milwaukee, Chicago, and Detroit will all see the brunt of the brutally cold temperatures by Wednesday and Thursday. The National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center said Monday that a storm system is bringing heavy snow over the Great Lakes on Monday before ushering in bitter cold air into the region. "Some of the coldest air in decades will pour in across the Northern Plains, Midwest and Great Lakes with windchills in the -40 to -50 degree range and air temperatures below zero for several days," Fox News Senior Meterologist Janice Dean said Monday. "This will be dangerous and potentially deadly for these regions, and people need to stay inside." In Chicago, where temperatures dipped below zero over the weekend, city officials are encouraging residents to check on their neighbors during the bitter snap. "Run faucets overnight," plumber Mark Mitsdarffer told FOX32. Mitsdarffer, who said the number of calls he's been handling this month have doubled compared to last year, said that simple tips can prevent homeowners from avoiding these problems. "Try to run them during the day if you can. Do be aware that you are running water all night, so if you have a slow running drain, it's gonna back up on you. Secondly, open up all the cabinets underneath your sinks and faucets. Get as much warm air into all the areas that you can." The cold weather has claimed 18 people in Cook County so far this winter, according to FOX32. Chicagoans said Sunday even with the heater on, it still feels cold. What is a polar vortex? The polar vortex could sweep across the east coast this winter, bringing with it harsh conditions, climate scientists have warned. "We already did our grocery shopping, so I think we're kind of prepared for it to be really cold and for us to hibernate inside," Erin Antonik told the television station "We might not come back out for like four days from this," said Aaron White. The cold is coming from what is known as the polar vortex, which is a "large area of low pressure and cold air surrounding both of the Earth’s poles," according to the NWS. https://www.foxnews.com/us/wind-chi...-60-expected-in-chicago-much-of-upper-midwest
They think it's bad now....just wait for the proposed "Medicare for All" to attempt to be forced, like Obamacare, on a naive public. There will have to be many more mandated government conditions imposed on doctors (because through health care the socialists get total control over the population) than are now being complained about here: Survey: Half Of Doctors Considering Leaving Medicine — Because Of Health Insurance Headaches WASHINGTON — Are health insurance policies creating nightmares for physicians and hazards for their patients? A new study finds that nearly nine in ten doctors believe barriers set by insurance plans have led to worsened conditions for patients in need of care. Researchers with Aimed Alliance, a non-profit that seeks to protect and enhance the rights of health care consumers and providers, say that doctors are so fed up with the constant headaches caused by insurers, two-thirds would recommend against pursuing a career in medicine, and nearly half (48%) are considering a career change altogether. For the study, the organization polled 600 physicians in the U.S. practicing either family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, or obstetrics/gynecology. The group sought to understand the extent to which insurance policies impact primary care physicians, their practices, and their patients on a day-to-day basis. They also wanted to get a better understanding of mental health issues among providers, as well as the causes behind the national provider shortage. Researchers found that physicians don’t think very highly of health insurance companies, and believe they’re putting patients at risk with policies such as prior authorizations ahead of filling prescriptions. In fact, 87% of doctors say patients’ conditions have grown worse because of such red-tape regulations, and 83% worry the patients will suffer prolonged pain as a result. Prior authorizations are especially bothersome for doctors. More than nine in ten (91%) of those surveyed think the policy delays necessary care for patients. Similarly, the same number of doctors agree insurers engage in “non-medical switching,” which forces patients to take less costly — but potentially less effective — medicines. Such policies are stressing many physicians out. Thirty-seven percent say half or more of their daily stress is caused by insurance issues, and 65% feel they’re facing greater legal risks because of decisions made by insurers. The vast majority (85%) are left frustrated by such issues, and many admit to taking their anger and emotions out on their staff and even family members. “I can understand why many of the respondents reported that they would not recommend this career to anyone else,” Dr. Shannon Ginnan, medical director of Aimed Alliance, tells StudyFinds. “As practitioners, much of our time is spent on burdensome paperwork required from health insurers for our services to be paid for. This prevents us from spending as much time on patient care as we would like, and it doesn’t take much for all this paperwork to interfere with the services that we provide.” Like studies? Follow us on Facebook! To Ginnan’s point, the survey showed that 77% of doctors have had to hire more staffers to handle the heavier administrative load from insurance work. Ninety-percent say they have less time to spend with patients because of the burden. As for the aspect of insurers’ policies that doctors would like to see changed most, the majority (55%) agreed on an insurers’ ability to override the professional judgment of physicians. About nine out of ten (87%) respondents felt that insurer personnel interfere with their ability to provide individualized treatments for each patient. Beyond the harm that doctors say insurance policies cause patients in need of care, they also agree that patients are taking a hit in their bank accounts too. Doctors believe that insurers are contributing to the rising cost of healthcare more than anything else, including pharmaceutical companies, government policies, lawsuits, or hospitals. The organization hope their study will provide lawmakers solid data when attempting to reform health care laws and regulations related to utilization management and provider shortages. The survey was conducted on behalf of Aimed Alliance by David Binder Research. https://www.studyfinds.org/survey-h...leaving-medicine-insurance-company-headaches/ and wouldn't be surprised if this excuse for socialized medicine for all would result in more globalist schemed "population control" via more abortions for any reason, increased euthanasia, and killing of the handicapped for "humanitarian" reasons.
I experienced this first hand with my Doctor of 20+ years. She had a small private practice and the vast majority of her patients were very poor due to having an illness in which the majority will one day no longer be able to work. She drove a Toyota Camry. She was also the most highly recommended specialist in this region. She refused to go to work for a corporation who would dictate to her how many patients she should see in a day, how long she could spend with each one and which treatment protocol she should choose. When the ACA dictated via legislation that private practices must meet the same guidelines in their business operations and administration that large corporations do this placed a huge economic burden on all in private practice. She tried to stay ahead of it and spent a great deal of money to do so but because she refused to turn patients away who had very little her business over the years slowly succumbed and she was no longer able to operate legally. The day she told me that she was no longer able to see me she cried. I wept a bit too later in my car, she had become a very close friend over all those years and it was hard to see her in such anguish. In spite of the image intentionally portrayed of Doctors being megalomaniacs they represent on a whole a class of people who deeply care about the welfare of others. I believe that they have been under attack for decades in the media and various forms of entertainment. Medicine was never meant to be a for profit business. Some "get it" and genuinely wish to help others and others simply wish to make money. They have turned to the legal system to dominate their competition and so far it is working. Welcome to the machine of atheistic for profit health care.
Evil machinations of the deep state masquerading as kindness. And so we are robbed of good ethical doctors.
https://www.upi.com/amp/Top_News/Wo...o-in-Venezuela-oppose-US-claim/1291548331075/ U.S. orders non-emergency embassy employees out of Venezuela By Nicholas Sakelaris and Daniel Uria | Updated Jan. 24, 2019 at 8:42 PM Opponents protest President Nicolas Maduro in Caracas, Venezuela, on Wednesday. China, Russia and Turkey have offered support for the embattled leader. Photo by Cristian Hernandez/EPA-EFE Jan. 24 (UPI) -- The United States ordered all non-emergency diplomatic employees in Venezuela to leave the country and warned against travel amid unrest over its leadership. The U.S. State Department issued a travel advisory warning citizens to reconsider travel to Venezuela due to "crime, civil unrest, poor health infrastructure, and arbitrary arrest and detention of U.S. citizens" after U.S. President Donald Trump and the White House recognized National Assembly President and opposition leader Juan Guaido as interim president and denied the legitimacy of President Nicolas Maduro. "Political rallies and demonstrations occur, often with little notice. Demonstrations typically elicit a strong police and security force response that includes the use of tear gas, pepper spray, water cannons, and rubber bullets against participants and occasionally devolve into looting and vandalism," the advisory stated. The advisory came after Maduro closed Venezuela's embassy and all of its consulates in the United States, calling back its 75 diplomats and other consulate personnel to Venezuela by Saturday, CNN reported. U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Wednesday night the United States will continue diplomatic relations with Venezuela, arguing Maduro does not have the legal authority to break diplomatic relations or to declare diplomats persona non grata. On Wednesday Trump said the United States no longer recognizes Maduro as Venezuela's president. Instead, he said, Guaido is now considered the interim president of Venezuela. Turkey, Russia and China defended Maduro on Thursday, in sharp contrast to the U.S. declaration. "We are with you," Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan told Maduro in a phone call. "Stay strong, we are by your side. As a country that believes in democracy ... wherever in the world there is a coup attempt, we stand against them all without distinction. Everyone has to respect the result of the ballot boxes." The Trump administration argues Maduro's election victory last year wasn't legitimate because opponents boycotted the vote. Trump said Guaido will be considered interim leader until new elections are held. "The United States will take appropriate actions to hold accountable anyone who endangers the safety and security of our mission and its personnel," Pompeo added in a statement. Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu told news channel A Haber Thursday it's "very strange" Guaido declared himself president and was recognized by other countries. "This situation may lead to chaos," he said. Turkey, which refines Venezuelan gold, isn't the only nation supporting Maduro. Russia also offered words of support and a warning for the United States. "We warn against this," Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said. "We believe that this would be a catastrophic scenario that would shake the foundations of the development model we see in the Latin American region." "We consider attempted usurpation of power in Venezuela as ... a breach of the foundations of international law," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said. "Maduro is the legitimate head of state." Alexei Pushkov of the Russia Federation Council's information committee said Guaido's effort is "an attempted coup" backed by the United States. "It's impossible to imagine that this was spontaneous," he said on state-run television. "That was a pre-planned action and it was certainly coordinated by the United States." Russia deployed two bombers to Venezuela last month, prompting Pompeo to accuse the countries of "squandering public funds, and squelching liberty and freedom while their people suffer." Chinese officials said other nations shouldn't interfere in Venezuelan affairs and Beijing supports the country's efforts to be independent and sovereign. U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres encouraged diplomacy on both sides. "What we hope is that dialogue can be possible, and that we avoid an escalation that would lead to the kind of conflict that would be a disaster for the people of Venezuela and for the region," he said.
And the beat goes on.... Engineers translate brain signals directly into speech Advance marks critical step toward brain-computer interfaces that hold immense promise for those with limited or no ability to speak In a scientific first, neuroengineers have created a system that translates thought into intelligible, recognizable speech. This breakthrough, which harnesses the power of speech synthesizers and artificial intelligence, could lead to new ways for computers to communicate directly with the brain. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190129081919.htm =============================================================================== Brain implants, AI, and a speech synthesizer have turned brain activity into robot words Neural networks have been used to turn words that a human has heard into intelligible, recognizable speech. It could be a step toward technology that can one day decode people’s thoughts. A challenge: Thanks to fMRI scanning, we’ve known for decades that when people speak, or hear others, it activates specific parts of their brain. However, it’s proved hugely challenging to translate thoughts into words. A team from Columbia University has developed a system that combines deep learning with a speech synthesizer to do just that. The study: The team temporarily placed electrodes in the brains of five people scheduled to have brain surgery for epilepsy. (People who have this procedure often have implants fitted to learn more about their seizures.) The volunteers were asked to listen to recordings of sentences, and their brain activity was used to train deep-learning-based speech recognition software. Then they listened to 40 numbers being spoken. The AI tried to decode what they had heard on the basis of their brain activity—and then spoke the results out loud in a robotic voice. What the voice synthesizer produced was understandable as the right word 75% of the time, according to volunteers who listened to it. The results were published in Scientific Reports today (and you can listen to the recordings here.) The aim? At the moment the technology can only reproduce words that these five patients have heard—and it wouldn't work on anyone else. But there is the hope that technology like this could one day let people who have been paralyzed communicate with their family and friends, despite losing the ability to speak. https://www.technologyreview.com/th...esizer-have-turned-brain-activity-into-robot/
DEMOCRATS TO REMOVE GOD, GENDER-SPECIFIC LANGUAGE FROM COMMITTEE OATH House Democrats proposed to strike “so help you God” from witnesses’ oaths before a major committee as part of their proposed rules package. The current draft of the proposed House Committee on Natural Resources rules package replaces all gender-specific pronouns with “their,” and substitutes committee “Chair” for “Chairman” in committee documents. The rules package also proposes that witnesses who testify before the committee be administered an oath bereft of any reference to faith or God and that adds the phrase “under penalty of law.” (RELATED: Alabama Planning To Restore ‘In God We Trust’ Motto In Public Schools) “Do you solemnly swear or affirm, under penalty of law, that the testimony that you are about to give is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?” the proposed oath reads, according to the draft obtained by Fox News Tuesday. Republican leadership decried the proposed removal of faith-based language as a sign that the Democratic Party was shifting toward Marxism. “It is incredible, but not surprising, that the Democrats would try to remove God from committee proceedings in one of their first acts in the majority,” House Republican Conference Chairwoman Liz Cheney of Wyoming told Fox News. “They really have become the party of Karl Marx.” Oddly enough, the proposal to remove references to God comes just two months after Democrats proposed to remove a 181-year-old restriction on wearing religious headgear on the House floor in order to accommodate newly-elected Muslim women members. The House Committee on Natural Resources is expected to vote in the coming week on whether to approve the rules proposal which, if adopted, will be immediately implemented. https://dailycaller.com/2019/01/29/democrats-remove-god-oath/

Here in WA the gun control crowd has been incredibly busy passing laws (backed by men like Soro's money) which infringe on the citizens rights to keep and bare arms. So much so that Sheriffs departments are openly refusing to enforce the laws. Now, they are trying to pass a mandatory registration law for all firearms that have detachable magazines and also ban the sale of these magazines. My prediction is that should they pass this into law very few people will comply with it and will in fact protest it with rifles slung to shoulders at the steps of the Capital in the hope of being arrested to fie lawsuits against the state. Canada tried this a few years back nationally and it failed miserably. Thank God for men of courage. https://komonews.com/news/local/yakima-co-sheriff-joins-others-in-refusing-to-enforce-new-gun-law Yakima Co. sheriff joins others in refusing to enforce new gun law by KIMA-TV & KOMO News Staff File photo YAKIMA, Wash. - Yakima County Sheriff Robert Udell says his department is joining the growing movement against enforcement of the new initiative that places stiff requirements on the sale and ownership of semi-automatic rifles. "We will not actively enforce this law," says Udell of Initiative 1639. The new law forbids gun shops to sell semi-automatic rifles to anyone under 21 and requires those gun owners to go through a safety class. The initiative also requires everyone with a firearm keep their guns stored away when they're not using them - one aspect Udell says is nearly impossible to control. "That is one of the components of the law that is going to be so difficult to even enforce if I wanted to. We’re not going to go into people’s homes to check on storage requirements to make sure they're doing it right," said Udell, who is in his first month in office. I-1639 would also subject potential gun owners to background checks, which would look into their mental health history. These checks would fall on the shoulders of the sheriff’s department, which Udell says would pull staff away from responding and preventing crime. "I have an office that is woefully understaffed, and that’s just adding another chunk of work on top of people who already have a difficult time to try to get their things done," he said. Udell joins the Lewis County sheriff and the Klickitat County sheriff in refusing to enforce the new gun law. Republic Police Chief Loren Culp also has said he will not enforce the law. Klickitat County Sheriff Bob Songer says he believes the law is unconstitutional The National Rifle Association and the Second Amendment Foundation have filed a joint lawsuit challenging the initiative.
We just voted in Sheriff Bob Songer in Klickitat County who vowed to appoint deputies who would join him in helping citizens resist arrest and avoid seizure of our weapons.
Yes, clearly the prophesied extreme weather. After 3 days of single digit and subzero temps, we're facing 3 days of a heatwave with rain up near 50 on Monday!! Translation=dense fog, lots of flooding, following by freezing slush on Tuesday. Waiting for the Pope to announce he's heading to Moscow.
6.6 Earthquake Rocks Southern Mexico, Sways Buildings Hundreds of Miles Away in Mexico City A strong earthquake jolted southern Mexico on Friday, rattling nerves and swaying tall buildings hundreds of miles away in the capital, but there were no reports of serious damage, injuries or deaths. The U.S. Geological Survey reported that the quake had a magnitude of 6.6. It was centered about 10 miles (16 kilometers) from the city of Tapachula in Chiapas state and struck at a depth of 40 miles (68 kilometers). Chiapas civil defense official Arturo Barrientos told The Associated Press that there were no reports of serious damage and authorities were monitoring the situation. Barrientos said cracks appeared in a wall at an elementary school in the state capital, Tuxtla Gutierrez, but the children were evacuated safely. “It was felt pretty strongly, but everything is normal. We went out into the street, and that was it,” Enrique Vidal, a lawyer who lives in Tapachula said via text message. “Those with children in schools went to look for them since there are buildings that are still damaged from 2017.” The same region was rocked in September 2017 by a magnitude 8.1 earthquake that killed nearly 100 people and damaged thousands of buildings. A more damaging 7.1 quake in central Mexico later that month left more than 400 dead, including at least 228 in Mexico City. “Fortunately there is no loss of human lives nor injuries that require hospitalization,” Luis Manuel Garcia, Chiapas’ civil defense secretary, told Foro TV. “Only nervousness.” Friday’s quake was also felt in nearby Guatemala and farther away in El Salvador. In Guatemala, the Red Cross reported some mud and rockslides along roads, and a bridge in the city of Quetzaltenango had some minor damage. Along a central boulevard in Mexico City, which lies on lakebed soil that amplifies the effects of even faraway quakes, seismic alarms did not go off but some office workers briefly evacuated buildings. https://ktla.com/2019/02/01/6-6-mag...ico-causes-buildings-to-sway-in-capital-city/

The event sounds like it was pretty dramatic: "We're receiving reports that a meteor was seen in the sky across the Florida Keys," NWS Key West tweeted, adding that the space rock "likely exploded over the province of Pinar del Río." CNN's Havana correspondent, Patrick Oppmann, described the sound of a "large explosion" in the town of Viñales and posted pictures of the fragments: The good news: No injuries were reported. The bad news: Now you have a new worst fear. https://theweek.com/speedreads/821292/meteorite-just-hit-cuba
