Fact. Iowa entrance polls gave Bernie Sanders 91 percent support of people under 30. For New Hampshire it was 80%. Not bad for a 74 year-old white Jewish socialist from Brooklyn. This blows away and the lid off of those hoary theories that suggest millennial attraction applies only to the hip and inadvertent parvenu.
To vote implies a valid selection for an election. We have none. Vote #LionelNation in a write in. The horror that faces this country and world for that matter is incomprehensible. That is all. And vote. For me. What do you have to lose?

Here’s another story that adds another piece to the jigsaw puzzle of our past.
Watch a video of this report here:
A controversial fertility treatment requiring 3 genetic parents was recently approved by an elite panel of U.S. scientists and ethicists.
The 12-member panel, assembled by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, released a 164-page report outlining how scientists could ethically carry out such genetic engineering for the purpose of eliminating rare mitochondrial diseases – a process that would exclude girls.
The imponderable. Fellow lover of sapience and reasonable liberty, I provide this to you but warn you that this is problematic. The state of our country, the criminal justice system and our political matrix are decrepit. These are very troubling times with little hope for improvement. You’re welcome.
He’s guilty! Of being the most incompetent, inept, bungling murderer in the history and annals of American crime. Or the victim of one of the greatest and most intricate conspiracies in the history of setups and frames. His main defense is “How could anyone be that obvious?” And the travesty of Brendan Dassey is incomprehensible. Truly. But warning, this is anything but open and shut. This is a case that is most vexing and troubling on a variety of levels and dimensions.
This country is going right to hell. And if there’s a party to blame it’s the electorate, the citizens. The disentangled and disengaged. Untethered and unbelievable. The clueless, vapid, insipid and various. More interested in bogus viral videos of rats pulling pizza slices down subway steps or the interminable stories about Powerball dreamers and incongruous ideations. Listen. You’re welcome.
Chinese scientists say they won’t be cloning humans anytime in the immediate future. But that doesn’t mean it won’t happen ever, and it doesn’t mean they don’t want to clone animals like cattle.
Monsanto has been looking for something to replace its best-selling Round Up chemicals in light of weeds becoming resistant to the chemical concoction. Now, Monsanto and Round Up are the targets of an international campaign ‘outing’ the herbicide for causing cancer (something which has actually been known for years).
On Monday, a group of U.S. scientists, The Center for Genetics and Society (CGS), and the activist group Friends of the Earth called for a global ban on gene editing of human embryos just a day before a major international meeting in Washington, D.C., to tackle the policy and ethical issues surrounding the technology.
