Having a few students of my own, I realize this is a special time of year.

I think it is time to look toward the holidays.

Students will begin their winter break this week. Perhaps everyone should be enjoying a break to prepare for a happy couple of weeks. 

I will write some opinions tomorrow. 

This was a year of revisiting Kyoto. I will review what is left of Appendix A. I am fairly certain it is time to move on to Appendix B. That being the case; after the New Year seems right. Why cloud the holidays with new material. Togetherness and reaffirming our love of family and values is a good union of friends and neighbors.

So, until later.

The CDC has turned to pablum and stupidity.

"vulnerable" - synonyms, pick one - helpless, defenseless, powerless, impotent, weak and susceptible

"entitlement" - synonyms - Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid

"diversity" - racist

"transgender" - bigotry

"fetus" - synonym - embryo, unborn baby or child - hatred of science

"evidence-based" - bigoted against practices of law

"science-based" - "C.D.C. bases its recommendations on science in consideration with community standards and wishes.’

...With community standards and wishes is a Russian principle. 

Here's the Russian translation: 

научный - C.D.C. основывает свои рекомендации на науке с учетом стандартов и пожеланий сообщества ».

Matt Lloyd - “H.H.S. will continue to use the best scientific evidence available to improve the health of all Americans. H.H.S. also strongly encourages the use of outcome and evidence data in program evaluations and budget decisions.”

I demand the firing of Matt Lloyd on Monday because he said, "Best Scientific Evidence. Outcome. Evidence data. None of those are allowed. Budget decisions. Hm. What does that sound like in Russia?

Horrors, there are leaks from the Trump White House. This is news?

Leaks (if you can call them that) coming from the Trump White House is common knowledge. It happens all the time and continuously since Trump took office.

The Department of Justice (click here) acknowledged in a statement on Thursday night that copies of private text messages exchanged between two former special-counsel investigators were disclosed to certain members of the media before they were given to Congress, even though those disclosures "were not authorized."

Sarah Isgur Flores, a DOJ spokeswoman, told Politico that the text messages exchanged between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page were given to key members of the House Judiciary Committee the night before Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein's public testimony on Wednesday.

The DOJ's Public Affairs division shared the same messages with a group of reporters after they were shared with the lawmakers, Flores said. But some members of the media "had already received copies."
"As we understand now, some members of the media had already received copies of the texts before that — but those disclosures were not authorized by the department," she said....

While President Trump (click here) seems to suggest that a conspiracy of deep-state opponents exists throughout the national security establishment, an astounding tweet revealed who he really believes is the source of leaks that continue to plague him.

On May 28, Trump tweeted, "It is my opinion that many of the leaks coming out of the White House are fabricated lies made up by the #FakeNews media."...

...It is no secret that from the moment Trump was first elected, there has been a virtual civil war among his inside advisors. It is commonly assumed that the internal White House battle involves the "Kushner wing" versus the "Bannon wing." However, there are also leaks from individuals wise to the ways of Washington, who know that if they leak derogatory information about Trump, they will be portrayed by reporters as "moderating influences”....
