• “IT’S INTUITIVE TO BELIEVE THAT ‘YOU CAN BULLSHIT A BULLSHITTER,’ but they are ironically the first to fall for it from someone else. According to Canadian University of Waterloo researchers, ‘BS artists’ – those who “frequently exaggerate & distort the truth, to impress of influence others by using misleading or impressive-sounding misinformation, are actually the most likely persons to be fooled by it coming from someone else. The reason is because they display an inability to distinguish between scientifically accurate facts and impressive-but-meaningless fiction.” This also relates to people who “use embellishments to impress others or help someone fit in, and irrelevant or evasive comments in situations where a blunt answer will likely hurt someone’s feelings.”  [LBN EXAMINER – 3/21/21]

• DOPAMINE IS THE HUMAN BODY’S ‘FEEL GOOD’ COMPOUND produced in our brains, which “enables cognitive performance, body coordination and mood elevation.”  Unfortunately, dopamine levels decline by around 13% per decade starting around age 45, and “as people feel their youth shriveling, they often binge on sugar sweets, alcohol or narcotics to boost the level, particularly smokers… Loss of dopamine function also plays a primary role in development of certain neurodegenerative disorders… The breakdown of dopamine is controlled by enzymes (called MAO-B) which actually increase with aging but can be inhibited by some medicinal plants” that FDA has approved for several decades but aren’t generally prescribed by physicians.  [LIFE EXTENSION – 4/21]
• HR 1, BILLED AS ‘FOR THE PEOPLE ACT,’ WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATELY CALLED THE ‘CORRUPT PRACTICES ACT.’ Designed for the benefit of maintaining permanent control, its major provisions: (1) Replace every State election law with federal rules negotiated by Democrat Party operatives; (2) Mandate Registration of nearly everyone in the country regardless of eligibility including felons – effectively allowing potential for non-citizens & illegal aliens to vote in all federal elections; (3) Prevents removal of dead people from voting lists: (4) Requires universal, no-excuse no-ID mail-in voting without and counted if received up to 10 days after election date; (5) Mandates allowing ballot Harvesting (i.e. collection & delivery) by anyone and virtually precluding signature-match challenge; (6) Providing candidates & campaigns with federal funding at six times their public contributions.
