We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾♀️.
Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!
Don't leave anything for later.
Later, the coffee gets cold.
Later, you lose interest.

Ohio site identified for oil, gas leasing, development
The U.S. Bureau of Land Management is preparing for additional oil and gas leasing in southeast Ohio's Wayne National Forest, the BLM recently announced.
"A supplemental environmental assessment recently released supports the restart of development on 65 existing leases and new competi…
Great discussions
Join the most interesting and insightful discussions.
I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period
You very briefly mention that the incompatible insect technique (IIT, i.e., the release of male mosquitoes infected with Wolbachia) has been used before, but go on to imply that this is a highly risky, experimental technology that is being used on a much larger scale than ever before in Hawaii, with its people as unwilling test subjects.
IIT has been used many times all over the world, including China, Australia, and the mainland United States (Fresno, CA, in 2018 was a particularly notable exam…
This project is an experiment. The southern house mosquito used in the Maui project is a species that has never been used before for Wolbachia IIT stand-alone field release. At 64,666 acres, the East Maui project area is the largest Wolbachia mosquito release of any kind globally to date. Peer-reviewed studies have shown Wolbachia bacteria to cause mosquitoes to become more capable of transmitting avian malaria ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/ar… and West Nile virus (bird and human) journals.plos.org/plosn…
Thanks for this. I thought Birds not Mosquitos might have been an industry front group (it had the appearance of one but I didn't research it in detail).
I just found this in one of the CHD articles on this:
"Birds, Not Mosquitoes states that the project is funded through a mix of public and private donors, including anonymous donors, including the American Bird Conservancy, Hawaiʻi Department of Land and Natural Resources, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the National Park Service, The Nature Conservancy, and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation.
Previous funders included “the Hawaiʻi Invasive Species Council and anonymous private donors.”
Another organization that partners in the project, the Kauai Forest Bird Recovery Project, lists Corteva Agriscience as one of its partners. Corteva Agriscience is a conglomerate formed via the merger of Dow AgroSciences and DuPont/Pioneer and owns many patents for the CRISPR gene-editing technology."
