#8 Harris Campaign Recruits Foreign Volunteers, Tells Noncitizens How to Skirt Donation Rules - Reddit Lies, Mollie, Amuse, and Dr. Jake Baker on X

In the previous installments of this investigation into how the Harris-Walz presidential campaign is dishonestly manipulating online platforms, I noted the existence of a Discord server where campaign employees coordinate with a volunteer army to flood social media sites with campaign propaganda. The volunteers also vote en masse on social media to artificially boost Harris-Walz content or downvote content that is harmful to their campaign. Not only is this deceptive and misleading to voters, it’s a clear violation of these websites’ Terms of Service. In part one and part two of the investigation, I noted this strategy had been successful at manipulating both Reddit and X. Over the past month, one out of every eight of the top stories in the eight-million-member Politics subreddit was planted by the campaign. On X, the campaign appears to have successfully voted down Community Notes accurately calling out the Harris campaign for tweeting out brazen lies...

#5 Biden-Harris Medicare Cuts Are Harming Seniors With Coverage Losses, Premium Hikes: Former Congresswoman - Jamie Joseph for FOXBusiness, Yolanda Whyte MD, Mel, and Insurrection Barbie on X
Cuts to Medicare Advantage by the Biden-Harris administration could lead to fewer options and higher costs for 33 million seniors, former Rep. Ann Marie Buerkle, R-N.Y., warns. In an interview with FOX Business, the former New York congresswoman urged her fellow Republicans to formulate a "coherent health care agenda" that tackles issues like drug approval processes and billing transparency to avoid a socialized medicine model. "And one of the pieces of that is to look at what's driving up the cost of health care," Buerkle, who worked as a nurse prior to practicing law and entering politics, told FOX Business. "Certainly, drugs are modernizing and streamlining the FDA, getting more generics and bioidenticals available in the marketplace — that would help the cost of things, looking at any dishonest billing, because we've seen that so many times."

Johanna Olson-Kennedy, MD—the medical director of the most prominent transgender youth clinic in the United States—is considered a national expert in trans youth health. For the past sixteen years, she has made a career out of helping gender non-conforming and transgender kids “emerge into themselves” using puberty suppression and cross-sex hormones.

Tupperware is getting a new lease on life after a bankruptcy judge approved a deal to save the beloved food-storage company. It will allow the iconic brand known the world over for its plastic food containers to exit from Chapter 11. It is also a boost for the army 300,000 army of local agents who sell Tupperware to friends and family. The direct sales are a key source of sales in addition to sales at stores like Walmart and Target.  But it is understood the plan to close Tupperware's final factory in the Midwest will still shut, with production moved to Mexico.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said earlier this week that former President Donald Trump has "promised" him "control of the public health agencies" should Trump win back the White House in November.Kennedy, who suspended his independent presidential campaign in August and endorsed Trump, made the remarks on a Zoom call with supporters on Monday night. The agencies Kennedy would reportedly oversee in that case include the federal Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Agriculture. "The key, which President Trump has promised me, is control of the public health agencies, which is HHS and its sub-agencies, CDC, FDA, NIH and a few others. And also the USDA, which is, you know, key to making America healthy, because we've got to get off of seed oils and we've got to get off of pesticides … and we need to make that transition to regenerative agriculture," Kennedy said...

Daylight Saving Time 2024: When Does the Time Change? Catherine Boeckmann for Almanac.com
Daylight Saving Time will be over before you know it! In November, we “fall back” one hour! So, why DO we observe DST? Here’s the surprising history of this clock-changing practice. (No, it’s not due to farmers!). And why is Daylight “Saving” Time—not “Savings” Time? Daylight Saving Time (“DST”) is the practice of moving the clocks forward one hour from Standard Time during the summer months and changing the time back again in the fall. The general idea is that this allows us all to use natural daylight better: moving the clocks forward one hour in the spring grants us more daylight during summer evenings, while moving clocks back one hour in the fall grants us more daylight during winter mornings...
