The Unforgiving Math That Stops Epidemics | Quanta Magazine

The Unforgiving Math That Stops Epidemics | Quanta Magazine:
"As the annual flu season approaches, medical professionals are again encouraging people to get flu shots.
Perhaps you are among those who rationalize skipping the shot on the grounds that “I never get the flu” or “if I get sick, I get sick” or “I’m healthy, so I’ll get over it.”
What you might not realize is that these vaccination campaigns for flu and other diseases are about much more than your health.
They’re about achieving a collective resistance to disease that goes beyond individual well-being — and that is governed by mathematical principles unforgiving of unwise individual choices.
When talking about vaccination and disease control, health authorities often invoke “herd immunity.” 
This term refers to the level of immunity in a population that’s needed to prevent an outbreak from happening. 
Low levels of herd immunity are often associated with epidemics, such as the measles outbreak in 2014-2015 that was traced to exposures at Disneyland in California.
A study investigating cases from that outbreak demonstrated that measles vaccination rates in the exposed population may have been as low as 50 percent.
This number was far below the threshold needed for herd immunity to measles, and it put the population at risk of disease..."

Most would call it extortion, but the Obama DOJ called them “donations” - NetRight Daily

Most would call it extortion, but the Obama DOJ called them “donations” - NetRight Daily:
"...The Obama administration began suing over 30 banks involved in the mortgage-backed security crisis.
...Bank of America gets the grand prize. Bank of America settled for a whopping $16.65 billion. In total, there would be over $110 billion paid out by banks.
If the money went to the victims, there would be no problem, but the money would find its way to political activist organizations that aligned themselves with the Democrat party.
Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) began investigating the disbarments of the payments by sending a letter in November of 2014 after noticing something strange in the settlement agreements of the banks.
Many of the settlements have a section that describes a minimum donation to HUD-approved housing counseling agencies.
Other segments included minimum donations to housing-related organizations.
The minimum payments were often over $10 million per section.
In total, many settlements required over $40 million in “donations” to various groups.
It gets worse.
The settlements also gave double credit for each dollar “donated,” while money to victims was a one for one exchange.
That means after a bank paid the minimum, a $50 million donation would be treated as a $100 million towards the settlement amount.
If you’re a bank which would you rather pay?"

VICTORY: In Proposed Settlement, IRS Admits Wrongdoing, Apologizes for Targeting Tea Party and Conservative Groups | American Center for Law and Justice:

"We have just obtained a resounding victory in our legal challenge to the IRS’s political targeting of conservative organizations.

In an unprecedented victorious conclusion to our years-long legal battle against the IRS, the bureaucratic agency has just admitted in federal court that it wrongfully targeted Tea Party and conservative groups during the Obama Administration and issued an apology to our clients for doing so. In addition, the IRS is consenting to a court order that would prohibit it from ever engaging in this form of unconstitutional discrimination in the future."

Irony – Rep Frederica Wilson Wrote Legislation Demanding DoD Policy That Framed Lethal Mission of Sgt. Johnson… | The Last Refuge:
Irony – Rep Frederica Wilson Wrote Legislation Demanding DoD Policy That Framed Lethal Mission of Sgt. Johnson…
"Sometimes there’s a level of irony that goes beyond the normal boundaries of ordinary irony and simultaneously creates a tear in the space-time continuum of DC hypocrisy; this is one such example.
Representative Frederica Wilson, a devoted member of the professional grievance club, has been at the epicenter of a story surrounding the death of Sergeant La David Johnson in Niger ever since Wilson politicized the bereavement call of President Trump, and the bereavement of Sgt. Johnson’s widow, her constituent, Myeshia Johnson. 
Representative Wilson had also claimed she was unaware of why we are carrying out military engagements in Niger, and has called the mission “President Trump’s Benghazi“..."

FEC Complaint States Clinton Campaign, DNC Broke Law Over Trump Dossier | Daily Wire

FEC Complaint States Clinton Campaign, DNC Broke Law Over Trump Dossier | Daily Wire:

"The Campaign Legal Center filed the complaint after The Washington Post reported on Tuesday that Mark Elias – a lawyer representing the Clinton campaign and the DNC – hired Fusion GPS to conduct “research” on then-candidate Donald Trump.

Adav Noti, who previously served as the FEC’s Associate General Counsel for Policy, filed the complaint which Law Newz obtained:"

No, The “Russian Dossier” Did Not Begin With GOP it Began With Clinton, The DNC and the FBI… | The Last Refuge

No, The “Russian Dossier” Did Not Begin With GOP it Began With Clinton, The DNC and the FBI… | The Last Refuge:
No, The “Russian Dossier” Did Not Begin With GOP it Began With Clinton, The DNC and the FBI…

"There is a tremendous amount of obfuscation coming from democrats after the revelation that Hillary Clinton and the DNC paid Fusion GPS to contract Christoper Steele to create the now infamous “Dossier”.  

One of the most significant falsehoods is that the dossier origins began with an unknown GOP entity within the primary.  

This narrative is entirely false.

The “Russian Dossier” did not begin assembly until after it was commissioned by Hillary Clinton and the DNC (June 2016).  
Prior to that Fusion GPS was simply doing opposition research on behalf of a Trump opponent (stopped April 2016).

We likely know, with great confidence, exactly who that 2016 originating Trump opponent was. Thanks to: the timing, the originating entities, the associations and the player networks behind the 2015 GOP road map splitter strategy.  
I’ll get to that aspect later..."

Bombshell: Hillary Clinton And The DNC Colluded With Russia In An Attempt To STEAL The Election From Donald Trump

Bombshell: Hillary Clinton And The DNC Colluded With Russia In An Attempt To STEAL The Election From Donald Trump:
"...The Clinton-DNC machine colluded with the Russians to fabricate and spread serious disinformation about Donald Trump in a failed attempt at swaying the election in the favor of Hillary Clinton.
That’s right, in a literal reverse of what the entire mainstream media has fed the American people for over a year, we now have evidence that, either wittingly or unwittingly, the Clinton campaign and the DNC paid for what amounted to disinformation that came directly from “Russian sources”.
Obviously this may seem truly unbelievable to some, but the facts speak for themselves and there is no denying that Democrats paid a shady opposition research company to try and dig up dirt on Donald Trump who then subsequently hired former British spy Christopher Steele. Steele then openly used Russian sources for most of the serious allegations in the “Russia dossier”..."

The DOJ required banks included in the settlement agreement to make "mandatory donations" to non-profits working on housing and property rights policies."

Laptop in Las Vegas shooter's suite was missing hard drive

Laptop in Las Vegas shooter's suite was missing hard drive:
"LAS VEGAS (AP) — A laptop found inside the Las Vegas gunman’s hotel suite after he carried out the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history was missing a hard drive, a federal official told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
Investigators suspect gunman Stephen Paddock removed the hard drive from the laptop after he opened fire from his high-rise suite at the Mandalay Bay hotel-casino into a crowd at a country music concert, killing 58 people and wounded hundreds of others, the official said.
The official wasn’t authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity.
The hard drive hasn’t been found, according to the official, and the absence of digital clues adds yet another puzzling aspect to the investigation as authorities try to figure out what might’ve led the 64-year-old high-stakes gambler to commit the mass killing..."
