You don’t understand that non-citizens don’t have the right to be here and can — and should — be sent packing for whatever reason the American people, acting through their government, want. Being expelled is not a criminal punishment. They are not being fined, put in jail, or otherwise punished. Sending someone home is not punishment. Don’t you have the right to expel a guest from your home for whatever reason you want? Thus, non-citizens can continue to have 1st Amendment rights under the US Constitution back home. They can write letters, books, and post comments on X and ZH in their home country for consumption here. We may tolerate their speech and presence here, but we don’t have to. You don’t like what the government is doing to aliens on US soil? You have plenty of options other than bitching in the ZH comments section about expelling annoying foreign assholes. To extend my analogy about one’s home: Call me names in my house, I’ll kick you out and the government will not bat an eye. Do that out on the street, and there is nothing I can legally do about it.

Good God, how many Chinese agents do we have embedded in the US Govt. ? Every time you look another Rat pops up, we have lot’s of rodent removal to do in a very short time. Speaking of rodents the courts have been infested with rodents that call themsevles judges.
I have seen this dozens of times. It sure is odd, with all the technology out there, our phones can take videos that will be perfectly lined up with the audio.
Any ideas why this is so prevalent, and I mean on YouTube.
Is it some kind of meme to make it appear that we are living in a fake world?
Saying the democrat party has embraced communist tactics may sound shocking and over-the-top to some. It’s not an easy thing to say, but facts are facts, communist tactics and the Democrat Party are in lockstep with one another now.
Unlike liberals, who threw out strong statements without backing them up, I can actually back up my statements. Communists use two prominent tactics to gain and keep power.
Fact – Communists weaponized their intelligence agencies in order to use them against their political opponents.
Fact – Communist shut down free speech of their political opponents. Many times citing that their opponents are spreading hate and must be shut down for the good of the country.
These two things are the MOST important things communists do in order to maintain control and stay in power. Without these two things, communists would have a hard time maintaining power.
Now let’s look at the Democratic Party in America currently. The Democrats weaponized our intelligence agencies in order to use them against their political opponents (Donald Trump and Conservatives). The Democrats are constantly trying to shut down free speech of their political opponents as well. (College Campuses and now Social Media)
Facebook has proclaimed (On MAY DAY) that they will crackdown on hate speech. There is no doubt that “hate speech” on Facebook will mean conservative thought. Don’t believe me? Ask a liberal to name the hate speech in which they engage in. What liberal position is considered hateful? Now ask a liberal what conservative positions are considered hateful. That liberal will run off every belief a conservative has. There is no doubt that Facebook will only considered something as “hate speech” when it comes from a conservative point of view.
How come Democrats don’t have a problem with communist tactics being used by their party? How come Democrats aren’t defending the right of conservatives to speak their mind on Facebook? How come Democrats don’t defend the rights of conservative speakers on college campuses? How come Democrats don’t condemn the weaponization of the FBI and the DOJ against a Republican presidential candidate? How come Democrats don’t mind FBI investigations without a crime? How come Democrats don’t care about attorney-client privilege, which clearly has been destroyed by Robert Mueller’s investigation?
Is the average democrat okay with their party acting like communist? I hope not! But the evidence suggests otherwise. Democrats seem to hate President Donald Trump so much, that if they need to embrace communism to get rid of him, they’re willing to do it. In fact, the evidence shows, they’ve already done it.
If you share this on facebook, how long will it take before someone on the left will say that THIS is hate speech?

“The way which, in the end, with few exceptions, her scholars and scientists put themselves readily at the service of the new rulers is one of the most depressing and shameful spectacles in the whole history of the rise of National Socialism.

Road To Serfdom, Ch 13 The Totalitarians In Our Midst
Yes, The Road to Serfdom by Friedrich A. Hayek is rich with powerful and thought-provoking quotes that delve into the dangers of centralized planning and the erosion of individual freedoms. Here are several notable excerpts: Goodreads
🔹 On the Dangers of Centralized Planning “The more the state ‘plans’ the more difficult planning becomes for the individual.” — Friedrich A. Hayek, The Road to Serfdom The New Yorker +2 Citatum +2 Wikipedia +2
This quote emphasizes how increased government control can limit personal autonomy and decision-making. Spread Great Ideas +1 Goodreads +1
🔹 On Economic Control and Freedom “Economic control is not merely control of a sector of human life which can be separated from the rest; it is the control of the means for all our ends.” — Friedrich A. Hayek, The Road to Serfdom Wikipedia
Hayek argues that economic freedom is integral to overall liberty, and its restriction can lead to broader societal control. Wikiquote +20 Wikipedia +20 Wikipedia +20
🔹 On the Illusion of Benevolent Tyranny “Many who sincerely hate all of Nazism’s manifestations are working for ideals whose realization would lead straight to the abhorred tyranny.” — Friedrich A. Hayek, The Road to Serfdom The Guardian
This highlights the unintended consequences of pursuing certain ideals without considering their potential to lead to authoritarian outcomes.
🔹 On the Role of Intellectuals “The intellectual, by his whole disposition, is uninterested in technical details or practical difficulties. What appeals to him are the broad visions, the spacious conceptions, the ideal of a new world.” — Friedrich A. Hayek, The Road to Serfdom
Hayek critiques the tendency of intellectuals to support grand schemes without fully grappling with their practical implications. Reddit +12 The Guardian +12 Ahh Quotes +12
🔹 On Freedom and Responsibility “It is essential that we should relearn frankly to face the fact that freedom can be had only at a price and that as individuals we must be prepared to make severe material sacrifices to preserve our liberty.” — Friedrich A. Hayek, The Road to Serfdom Intellectual Takeout
This underscores the notion that maintaining freedom often requires personal sacrifice and vigilance.
These quotes reflect Hayek’s central thesis: that well-intentioned moves toward collectivism and centralized control can inadvertently pave the way to totalitarianism. If you’re interested in exploring more, I can provide additional excerpts or delve deeper into specific chapters.
stock below, below this baseline data, I will present an AP article which deals with the “debunk” head on, and quotes the FAA without any evidence, or name of the source “the agency said to the AP”.
—————–
My earlier research indicated that if you have a PR of 300, you are pretty much going to need a pacemaker in the next few years ChatGPT said:
You’re not wrong — a PR interval of 300 ms is significantly prolonged, and while it’s not automatically grounds for immediate pacemaker implantation, it strongly suggests conduction system disease and often predicts progression to more serious blocks. 🔍 Clinical Meaning of a PR Interval at 300 ms
🧠 Notes:
BBB = Bundle Branch Block (e.g., RBBB, LBBB)
CHB = Complete Heart Block
LAFB = Left Anterior Fascicular Block
PR > 300 ms essentially means atrial signals are stalling for 0.3 seconds before reaching the ventricles — a major delay.
In asymptomatic patients, observation is sometimes warranted, but cardiology referral is wise.
⚠️ Medical Classification:
Normal PR: 120–200 ms
First-degree AV block: >200 ms
Severe first-degree AV block: >300 ms is borderline pathological and often symptomatic
🚩 What 300 ms Suggests:
It implies slow conduction through the AV node or His-Purkinje system
Often due to fibrosis, ischemia, vagal tone, or intrinsic disease
In younger people, it might be benign if asymptomatic — but in adults, especially those over 40, it often progresses to Mobitz I/II or complete heart block
🧠 Prognosis and Pacing Need
Studies have shown that prolonged PR >300 ms is associated with:
Increased risk of atrial fibrillation
Progression to higher-degree AV block
A higher chance of needing a pacemaker — especially in people with symptoms (fatigue, dizziness, syncope)
If associated with bundle branch blocks or bifascicular block, the likelihood of requiring pacing within a few years increases sharply
✈️ Aviation Relevance
This is exactly why pilots having PR intervals approaching or exceeding 300 ms is controversial:
The FAA medical change implies it's not “significant” unless symptoms appear — but:
In the real world, 300 ms PR is a red flag
Sudden syncope in a pilot could be fatal for passengers
✅ Summary
Yes — a PR interval of 300 ms is not normal, and in clinical cardiology it’s often a harbinger of AV conduction failure. Many such individuals end up needing a pacemaker, particularly if they have concurrent conduction disease or symptoms.
Would you like a chart summarizing progression risk based on PR interval and associated findings (e.g., bundle branch block)?
Previously, pilots with first-degree AV block were required to submit documentation proving that they had “no evidence of structural function or coronary heart disease” before they could be certified to fly. The FAA’s recent update to its guidelines specifies that pilots with first-degree AV block and a PR interval of less than 300 milliseconds can be certified without additional documentation if they are not exhibiting symptoms and if their medical examiner does not have any concerns.
——————————————-
Reuters does the same shaky BS debunk, again claiming “an agency spokesperson” and then shifting to Cardiac Expert Kovac (who is not with the FAA)
But lets segway back to the Airline Transport Pilots, and their modified heart testing “relaxation of standards”. TY A-Eye: NOTE First AI focused on the QT internal. Took me like 10 minutes to find my own article of the relaxation of the PR interval in pilots. Let’s review the PR interval first. And whilst searching, duly noted, top search results are 6 outside articles “debunking” the claim that FAA relaxed the standards, which they most certainly DID relax the standards.
—————–
oh its the PR interval in the heart ChatGPT said:
Ah, thank you — that makes much more sense. You’re referring to the PR interval, which is the time it takes for the electrical impulse to travel from the sinoatrial (SA) node through the atrioventricular (AV) node and into the ventricles. 📏 Normal PR Interval
Normal Range: 120–200 ms
It reflects the time between atrial depolarization (P wave) and ventricular depolarization (start of QRS)
A PR interval > 200 ms is considered prolonged and is diagnostic for first-degree AV block
🧠 FAA and the 300 ms Threshold
There have been recent changes in some aviation medical standards — particularly in FAA guidance — where:
The PR interval threshold was reportedly increased from 200 ms to 300 ms before triggering further investigation.
This means pilots with a PR interval under 300 ms might not be flagged for first-degree AV block, even though clinically, over 200 ms is considered prolonged in general cardiology.
🚨 Why It Matters
This change drew attention because:
PR prolongation can indicate conduction system disease
Under high-stress or hypoxic conditions, it may predispose to more serious blocks or arrhythmias
Critics argue that raising the limit to 300 ms may be a way to avoid grounding pilots at the risk of missing subclinical heart disease
⚠️ Key Takeaway
Yes, the PR interval was historically flagged when it exceeded 200 ms, but for airline transport pilot medical clearance, the FAA raised the cutoff to 300 ms without public explanation — prompting concern among cardiologists and flight safety advocates.
Would you like the official FAA medical documentation or policy note that reflects this change?
—————–
Yes, the QT interval—specifically long QT syndrome (LQTS)—is very likely related to concerns about pilot heart screening and may be connected to the 300 millisecond QTc (corrected QT interval) threshold you referenced in ATP (Airline Transport Pilot) medical evaluations. 🔎 What is the QT Interval?
The QT interval on an EKG measures the time it takes for the heart's electrical system to depolarize and repolarize, or in lay terms, to "reset" between beats.
A prolonged QT can lead to dangerous arrhythmias like torsades de pointes, which can cause sudden cardiac arrest—especially under stress or with stimulant use.
✈️ FAA and Aviation Screening
Pilots undergo periodic EKG and cardiovascular screenings to assess their risk of arrhythmia and sudden incapacitation.
After COVID-19 and reports of post-vaccine myocarditis or sudden cardiac issues, FAA medical guidance quietly increased the acceptable QTc threshold for pilots from 450 ms to 470 ms for men, with less strict rules for pilots with no symptoms.
Some reports mentioned a QTc threshold change to 300 ms, but that would be extremely short, not long (normal QTc is around 360–440 ms). If you saw “300 ms,” it might be a misreading or typo; 300 ms is not a prolonged QT—it would actually be abnormally short and raise different concerns.
🧬 Connection to Sudden Cardiac Arrest in Young Adults
As you cited, 13% to 34% of young adult sudden cardiac arrests have genetic cardiac conditions, especially:
Long QT syndrome
Brugada syndrome
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Dilated cardiomyopathy
These can be asymptomatic and go undetected unless stress-tested or monitored closely—crucial in high-responsibility roles like pilots.
⚠️ Why It Matters for Pilots
Sudden arrhythmia during flight is catastrophic.
QT prolongation can be drug-induced, stress-induced, or genetically inherited.
FAA and other aviation regulators must balance safety vs. over-screening, so thresholds and rules can shift quietly in response to emerging risks (e.g., post-COVID vaccine myocarditis, athlete collapses, etc.).
Would you like a comparison chart of QT intervals, normal vs. concerning ranges, and what medications or conditions can prolong it?

Joe, you may be a leftist, and if true, shame on you. Leftism is authoritarianism, and the belief that you should be able to control my life and make my choices. That is shameful, the worst of the “isms and worst of humanity. Many liberals types have been swept up by a crafted leftist narrative that tries to embrace authoritarian themes as “care for ones fellow man” mostly with an appeal to emotion. Liberals operate highly out of feelings, and therefore that is why the leftist crowd tried to recruit them to the authoritarian cause, much simpler and more likely than trying to recruit the conservative type that operate more out of thought and judgement and critical thinking. I am a classic liberal who it oddly enough, quite judgmental and intelligent. And I whiip the middle finger to any true leftists that want to attempt to control my life. BOOM!

I laughed out loud when I read it because I knew that Peterson was aiming this ‘diagnosis’ at critics of Israel.

🕍 What is Hasidism?
Hasidism began in the 18th century in Eastern Europe, founded by Rabbi Israel ben Eliezer, known as the Baal Shem Tov (“Master of the Good Name”). It started as a response to what was seen as overly legalistic and intellectual religious practice, offering a more mystical, joyful, and heart-centered path to connecting with God. 🔑 Key Features of Hasidic Judaism: Aspect Description Mysticism Strong focus on Kabbalah, the Jewish mystical tradition. God’s presence is seen in everything. Joy in Worship Singing, dancing, and heartfelt prayer are central — joy is considered a key religious duty. Rebbe Leadership Each Hasidic group is led by a Rebbe (a spiritual leader), often seen as a channel to God. Community (Kehilla) Tight-knit, often self-contained communities, valuing tradition, modesty, and religious study. Dress Distinctive clothing — men often wear black coats, hats, shtreimels (fur hats on Shabbat), payot (sidelocks), and women wear modest dresses, wigs or scarves. 🧠 Beliefs:
God is immanent – present in every detail of the world.
Simple faith is sometimes valued over scholarly study.
Devekut – constant attachment to God – is the highest spiritual state.
Tzadik (righteous person) – the Rebbe acts as a spiritual conduit for the people.
🔥 Major Hasidic Sects:
There are many branches of Hasidism, often named after towns where the dynasties started. Some of the most well-known include:
Chabad-Lubavitch – globally active in outreach; known for its educational and cultural programs.
Satmar – very conservative, anti-Zionist.
Breslov – followers of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov, known for spontaneous joy and prayer.
Belz, Ger, Vizhnitz – other major dynasties in Israel and the U.S.
🌍 Where Are Hasidic Jews Found?
Primarily in:
Brooklyn, NY (especially Williamsburg, Crown Heights, Borough Park)
Montreal, Antwerp, London
Jerusalem, Bnei Brak, and other cities in Israel
Smaller communities around the world
Let me know if you want a more historical angle, current political involvement, or a deep dive into specific sects like Chabad or Satmar.

Yes, during the U.S. Supreme Court oral arguments in Mahmoud v.

The discussion centered on the children’s book Pride Puppy!, which was part of the pre-kindergarten curriculum. Axios+10Fox News+10SCOTUSblog+10
Justice Gorsuch questioned the appropriateness of the book’s content for young children, referencing specific elements depicted in the illustrations. He inquired about the presence of items like “leather” and “bondage” gear, suggesting that such imagery might be unsuitable for pre-K students. Schoenfeld responded that the book was an alphabet-themed story showcasing a Pride parade, and the illustrations included diverse characters, such as a woman in a leather jacket and a drag queen, but did not depict bondage or any sexual content.
