To those reacting to this buffoon re: Vaccines (or "sorcery" as he says): @RepStickland is one who believes lack of knowledge makes him smarter than experts. He runs a termite biz, earned a GED after dropping out of high school & dropped out of community college. Ignore him.
@RepStickland ...in fact, I have to say, as a resident of the DFW Metroplex, I am horrified that my friends in Tarrant County elected this idiot @RepStickland . Ill make sure every sane person I know is aware not only of this buffoon's dangerous idiocy, but his willingness to reject expertise.
@RepStickland ...and by the way, before propagandists come running in to say I am condemning GED's and community college (even for those who dropout) I am not. I am saying that people with little education should not be listened to over epidemiologists, infectious disease experts, and doctors.

1. Whenever I hear the forced birthers talk about their moral superiority, I can only think of the time they tortured a child to death, then bragged about it.

It involved a woman with other children who was pregnant. She wanted another child. She was anti-abortion (no more.)....
2...then, in the third trimester, the doctor discovered that the fetus had an abnormality that would lead it to suffocate to death in the first few minutes of life. As doctors have told me, few types of death they have seen are on par with the horror and torture of suffocation...
3...the mother - like a mother who wanted to protect a child from harm - decided they needed to about the fetus so that it would not live a few minutes of life in abject torment.

But too late. The state (Indiana?) had adopted a law that took that decision away from the mother..

1. Hearing from an ornithologist raging about Trump's @POTUS latest lie, seeing "piles of bald eagles" next to wind farms. While, like most scientists, this guy knows that @GOP lie with abandon about science, this one is about something Trump lies that he "saw"...
@POTUS @GOP 2...Bald Eagles are territorial. In other words, they do not all fly in the same place, they keep their own territory. The only way there could be "piles" of bald eagles is if Trump carried dead carcasses from around many places and piled them up at the foot of a turbine....
@POTUS @GOP 3...on the other hand, in the texted words of this ornithologist, "You know why it’s illegal to kill bald eagles? Cause his people were MURDERING THEM. WITH GUNS." So why does Trump attack wind turbines? Same as always. Personal profit....

1. In true RW Christian way, faux Christian @JerryFalwellJr has blocked me.

So now I'll tell you what I really think of Mr. @LibertyU.

Hes the essence of whats undermining Christianity, an Elmer Gantry who uses lies for riches & political power, a Madoff in Biblical clothing..
@JerryFalwellJr @LibertyU 2...even before attending seminary classes, I knew there were people like Falwell out there, using the Bible to amass power and money. His dad, while deeply flawed, evolved into a huckster - didn't start out as one like Jr. But that these frauds could become the symbols....
@JerryFalwellJr @LibertyU 3...for so many people of the essence of Christianity underscores the Biblical illiteracy of the evangelical movement, a problem that has been commented on by many religious figures and publications. These people see the devil in those outside their movement, not realizing that..

🔥@RobertKennedyJr “is part of this campaign to attack the institutions committed to reducing the tragedy of preventable infectious diseases. He’s helped spread dangerous misinformation over social media & is complicit in sowing distrust of the science.”

Just as important as the message is WHO wrote this piece: RFK Jr’s own brother (Joe II) and sister (Kathleen @KKT_EPI, whom I’m fortunate to know), and his niece (Maeve).

A few years ago, I discussed #vaccines with RFK Jr, but unfortunately, he wouldn’t accept the factual evidence as truth. He has championed numerous good causes of significance, and I sincerely hope that he soon will do the same with regards to vaccines.

Knowledge they say is power and from all indication, the Government have deliberately deprived the masses of the required information to enable them demand good governance through the right channel. No wonder the Bible says “my people people die for lack of Knowledge.”
Since they have failed in educating us on the basics of politics, we would do well to educate ourselves.
If you reside in Amuwo Odofin Local Government or Oriade Local Council Development area as the case may be, this information concerns you and i implore you to spread the message to all residents so we can collectively start demanding good governance from our elected Gov officials

Tonight I attended the inaugural "Whale School" public lecture at #DalhousieU in Halifax, given by Canadian wildlife pathologist Dr. Pierre-Yves Daoust on the 2017 #RightWhale Mortality Crisis. Thread:
For context, 2017 was a year of unprecedented North Atlantic right whale mortality, with 12 confirmed deaths in Canada and an additional 5 in the USA. Most of these deaths were known or assumed to have been caused by human activity, namely entanglement and ship strikes.
For such a small population (about 450 animals), losing 17 individuals is a huge blow. Especially when there were no calves born in the 2017 calving season. In response, there has been a huge increase in conservation efforts in 2018.

@VanTaylorTX @TexasGOP @GregAbbott_TX @candynoble @MattShaheen @Susan_Fletcher @leachfortexas @CollinCtyVotes @CollinGOP @Scott_SanfordTX Let's see, Van ... We're presently #5 in teen birth rate (per @HHSGov), & the state ed #abstinenceonly policy seems tailor-made to make us #1 there. In fact, the stats say almost one-in-five of US births to girls <15 were right here in Texas. #winning 1/
@VanTaylorTX @TexasGOP @GregAbbott_TX @candynoble @MattShaheen @Susan_Fletcher @leachfortexas @CollinCtyVotes @CollinGOP @Scott_SanfordTX @HHSGov In your quest for first, Van, you'll be glad to know we're #1 already for #uninsured people AND #1 when it comes to least #HealthcareAccess (incl. DC!). We do have a little ways to go on cost; we're only 6th #mostexpensive. Keep denying that expansion! 2/

Texas is almost there! According to the Annie E. Casey Foundation #KidsCount assessment, we're the 3rd-worst for family and community (#47/50) & 9th-worst for #childhealth. Isn't that exciting? /3

This is a beautiful example (on multiple levels) of how CUTTING THE CABLE is the way to END SCHOOL SHOOTINGS. This shows how DECENTRALIZATION of knowledge makes us SMARTER and LESS CONTROLLED by forces that cannot be trusted.

CUT the cycle of school shootings and SAVE MONEY.
By CUTTING THE CABLE, you will get LOCAL BROADCAST NEWS if anything. Yes, this still leaks a lot of TOXIC JUNK, but just look at this example, to see that you may actually get SOME better news, that is FAR LESS CONTROLLED from Washington DC, New York, and Los Angeles.
However, by CUTTING THE CABLE, you will NOT be sending money to CNN, MSNBC, and the rest of the MSM, which is FUNDED by cable TV money moving through all sorts of SNAKE CHANNELS tied to "bundling" that FEED YOU THE PROPAGANDA. They push the TV PLANS very hard for a reason.
