The first toy advertised on television (1952), Mr. Potato Head, a dude for 70 years, is now entering a new phase.
Hasbro made the announcement to remove “Mr.” from the toys’ branding, but clarified the move, saying their characters’ will remain separate Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head.
TRANSGENDER DEBATE
In another fruitless day of Congressional hearings, Rand Paul hammered Joe Biden’s transgender nominee to a top post in the Department of Health and Human Services, Rachel Levine, about child surgeries and sterilizations.
“You have permanently changed them… I find it ironic that the left that went nuts over hydroxychloroquine being used possibly for Covid, are not alarmed that these hormones are being used off-label.”
The technique fell out of favor in the 1970s, but experiments at Stanford University and elsewhere have begun testing parabiosis and the effects of young blood on older humans.
So far young blood or plasma has not proven to extend life. Only caloric restriction and rapamycin have been shown to reverse the effects of ageing across human tissue.
The media is obsessed with President Trump’s taxes yet fail to scrutinize Joe Biden, whose returns reveal he dodged the “high income” tax written into the socialist Obamacare program.
Biden’s income skyrocketed from $400,000 to $11 million after leaving office.

The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test, invented in 1985 by Kary Mullis, is one of the methods being used by laboratories to detect SARS CoV-2 in patients, and can deliver various results depending on their use.
The PCR test duplicates a tiny amount of a patient’s DNA or RNA into large detectable quantities, by running samples through amplification “cycles.” Too few cycles eliminate valid results, and too many cycles increases false positives. (Some tests, like those from Thermo Fisher recommend 25-30 cycles.)
Canadian researcher David Crowe, with a degree in biology and mathematics, explains, “So, if you cut off at 20 [cycles], everybody would be negative. If you cut off a 50, you might have everybody positive… In one paper I found 37 cycles. If you didn’t get enough fluorescence by 37 cycles, you are considered negative. In another, paper, the cutoff was 36. Thirty-seven to 40 were considered ‘indeterminate.'”
Laboratories set their own cycle thresholds. The CDC has suggested that above 33 cycles it is difficult to detect any virus. Also, too high a threshold may detect genetic fragments that pose no risk.
The FDA under Obamacare considers Ulipristal Acetate (nicknamed “Ella” to make it seem less murderous) to be a contraceptive. Congressional testimony by Jane Belford of the Archdiocese of Washington described it as “being able to disrupt an already implanted pregnancy by blocking progesterone. This effect, confirmed in various animal studies, would be an abortion by anyone’s definition.” Read more at The Washington Examiner.
