Oh? A cluster of genes that control intelligence was reported in a paper this year.

King in 50 months the Chineese will be engnering super babies.
The cumulative effect of those reported genes was pretty small which means there's probably hundreds/thousands more to be found. But yeah, if anyone is going to reach the engineered baby milestone first it would be the Chinese. Their laws surrounding this are relatively pretty loose. Still, it's a long long way from excising a cleanly defined autosomal recessive disease gene to modifying and editing multigene characteristics.

Seems like conservatives are mounting a revolt against Mcmaster, with Fox News leading the charge. Given how Trump adores military generals and how much smarter they are than him, I'm sure this media revolt is going places.

50 years is a looooong time. Considering that information is doubling twice every year now (last time i checked) and that computing power is about to take another huge leap, communication and collaboration are greater than ever before and only getting better. VR simulations are making it possible for scientists to see what they theorise, and even "touch" it.

A Dr just did a Robotic heart surgery, using VR over the internet. It was a pretty complicated operation too.

Water can be generated from air now.
Electricity efficiently from the sun.
Even human waste is being used to re-fertilize the earth.
The next 50 years will see unprecedented human development and growth. I'm not too worried about a society of designer babies, I'm more worried about a government agency breeding assassins and mind-controlled politicians.
Well, that is if we survive Trump.

So Justin Bieber just cut his tour short because he has found religion.
He joins the ranks of Elijah Wood, Corey Feldman and Corey Haim(deceased) claiming Hollywood and the music industry is run by satanic pedophiles.
He claims he was at a party with the music industry's elite wheb a male child was brought in and Justin was told to rape him. He also claims the child was bleeding and had been raped previously by several adult males. He continues to say that the child would have been killed after he had raped him. He refused to do so and he is haunted by what happened to the child after his departure from the party.
facts I don't like? The article claims Chris Cornelle and Chester Bennington were working on exposing the music industry.
Bieber: you are discredited with "tinfoil hat" accusations when you speak out.

There has been a story I have been following for a while now about a Pakistani family working as IT staffers for any number of Democratic congress members including DWS.

Interestingly enough both the left wing and right wing press have been following it while the MSM mostly has ignored it till RFN.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz and the Pakistani IT Scammers
National Review

Is There Anything to the Conservative Media Story About Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s IT Staffers?

Slate

Basically it looks like these people were scammers as well as knowledgeable IT workers with fingers in many shady pies and making MASSIVE bucks from their work for congress.

The odd part: when they started being investigated every congress critter let them go except one. DWS still retained the head of the scam, Imran Awan, on her payroll until his arrest yesterday.

This whole thing got into rabbit hole territory for me long ago. The rabbit hole has more twists and turns than can be imagined.

Nice how the left wing media is trying to downplay this though.

All it shows is that the corruption from the democrats/liberals go well beyond petty politics, and into the realm of actively trying to destroy this democracy.

But I thought that was pretty obvious since 1960s.

You weren't around in the '60s king.

1968 was a watershed year in American politics. I suggest you familiarize yourself with the history of that election. I lived through it.

It was at as least as interesting times as today, but tragedy rather than comedy.

No, but you know what the best thing about not being from a period of time like that is?

I can be objective and honest about the analysis of the events that occurred during that time, as an outsider. Nearly all of the time, the best judges of events are those who never experienced it.

And I can honestly say that, while looking at the history of that era, the people at the time were anarchists. And those people who are anarchists in the 60s became the liberals/democrats of today.

Anarchists were not part of the mix then.

Seven different flavors of communists, socialists, centrists, anti war activists, civil rights activists, feminists, back to the land types, proto environmentalists, all were represented on the left.

I can't name as many factions on the right.

Only if you take care of the entire problem.

Start with the oldest, and work your way to the youngest. That way, if you skip any, they will not have enough time to procreate.

Kislyak was just caught lying that Russia didn't meddle in the election, directly contradicting the stories from Flynn and Trump. Conservaturds can't get their lies straight and that will cost them dearly in 2018.

Wait, I thought we weren't supposed to listen to the Russians. Isn't that what the liberals/democrats keep telling us?

I guess we should ignore them unless they make Trump look bad, right?

Of course you would. As long as you are the pig.

If you are anything else, it would suck.

Rooks brought up Kayleigh McEnenay today and I was reminded of my lustful fantasies for her...for I love crazy women.

I met her at a book signing at Whole Foods, why there? I dunno but I wanted some exotic cheeses so I just happened to be there. I invited her out for dinner. Both of us thought the food was bad but she argued with me, defended the food with incoherent psycho babble before turning, deflecting, and insulting another restaurant.

After dinner, we went to see a movie. The movie was good, Kayleigh, of course, hated it and called the director a pedophilic communist or something. I couldn't understand the shrieking.

It was time for THE MAIN EVENT we arrived at my place at about 9:30 PM. I won't go into detail but you know what happened.

Pillow talk consisted of how the Russia thing is a witch hunt, how Hillary killed people and ate children, and how her emails would've proved it if they hadn't been deleted.

I woke up to find my cheese missing, Kayleigh was gone, and my bank account was empty but I had like eight shipping confirmation emails from eBay and Amazon.

And that's why I don't take Ambien anymore.

It actually exists. I was once served pizza by a cute teal-haired girl there who was probably a hipster.

I don't believe it.

I'm not saying that there isn't anyone who wants to waste their money on the "latest trend" out there in Oklahoma, I just don't think there's a viable market for that.

Remember, this is a store that sells you the same stuff you can find at any grocery store, just at a 75% market up so you can feel like you are "making a difference" out there. Or whatever those crazies who shop there think.

Uh, Whole Foods actually does make a difference. It makes my evil capitalist wallet cry.

You know... the interesting thing about 1984 is that; constituents of both parties (in today's US political system) accuse each other's ideal government of being the embodiment of IngSoc.
