The night before she almost ruined her life, Melissa Rein Lively couldn’t sleep.

She had gotten into a fight with her husband, Jared, and though they had never spent more than a few nights apart during their nine-and-a-half-year marriage, they both needed space. It had been a difficult few months. So here she was, alone in a hotel room on the night before July 4, her favorite holiday, one she and Jared traditionally spent in Greece. She felt trapped. And she couldn’t sleep. Continue reading “She fell into QAnon and went viral for destroying a Target mask display. Now she’s rebuilding her life.”

“It seems gene editing is going to eliminate all disease,” said HBO’s John Oliver, “Or kill every last one of us.”¹ He’s referring to gene-editing tools such as CRISPR, or Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeat, and TALEN (Transcription Activator-Like Effector Nuclease), which are being used for everything from disease treatment to agriculture.

With Joe Biden declared president-elect by a chorus of major networks in unison on Saturday, the same mainstream media has suddenly dropped any notion of ‘Russian interference’ in the election which for years had received wall to wall coverage.

Over the weekend an MSNBC host went so far as to declare without evidence “This might be the cleanest election we have ever had.” And conveniently apart from the ‘sudden’ unprecedented leap in vaccine development and with markets soaring on the news, the foreign policy “wins” are conveniently pouring in even before Biden enters the White House on January 20.
