https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/plans-rename-monkeypox-stigmatization-concerns-rcna43012 LONDON — The World Health Organization says it’s holding an open forum to rename the disease monkeypox, after some critics raised concerns the name could be derogatory or have racist connotations. In a statement Friday, the U.N. health agency said it has also renamed two families, or clades, of the virus, using Roman numerals instead of geographic areas, to avoid stigmatization. The version of the disease formerly known as the Congo Basin will now be known as Clade one or I and the West Africa clade will be known as Clade two or II. WHO said the decision was made following a meeting of scientists this week and in line with current best practices for naming diseases, which aims to “avoid causing offense to any cultural, social, national, regional, professional, or ethnic groups, and minimize any negative impact on trade, travel, tourism or animal welfare.” Numerous other diseases, including Japanese encephalitis, Marburg virus, Spanish influenza and Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome have been named after the geographic areas where they first arose or were identified. WHO has not publicly suggested changing any of those names. So since being discovered back in 1958, "Monkeypox" is now "derogatory" or "racist"?

Wait a tick.....POTUS Biden yesterday stated we had 0% inflation last month......(With prices way up and production down) https://slate.com/business/2022/08/biden-zero-inflation-republicans-economy.html https://nypost.com/2022/08/10/with-prices-up-and-output-down-bidens-boast-of-0-inflation-is-beyond-parody/ Sooooo - Then why do we need the Inflation Reduction Act?

"Untouchable" https://nypost.com/2022/08/10/so-fbi-why-no-raid-of-hunter-bidens-house/ The message was unmistakable at Joint Base Andrews Wednesday, two days after former President Donald Trump’s Florida home was raided by the FBI. There, boarding Air Force One at 1:20 p.m., shoulder to shoulder with his father, the president, was Hunter Biden, whose home has never been raided. Despite a snail’s pace grand-jury investigation into his suspect business dealings by the US attorney in Joe Biden’s crony state of Delaware, despite copious documentary evidence that he accepted millions of dollars from America’s adversaries in exchange for influencing his father, the then-vice president, despite actively working with Communist China to extend “belt-and-road” imperialism across the globe to undermine America, Hunter, 52, looked as if he didn’t have a care in the world. Dressed in a suit and tie and accompanied by wife Melissa Cohen and toddler son Beau Biden, he made his way slowly up the stairs of the presidential jet, alongside Joe, exchanging private jokes before stopping at the top to turn and face the waiting cameras, father and son, giving the world a lingering view of their brazen smiles before they jetted off for a seven-day vacation to a favorite family haunt, Kiawah Island, SC. “We are untouchable” was the unspoken message.

(Copied from a friend's post) Do the math my friends. According to IRS records there are 2.8 million tax returns where people earn $400,000 or more. Our newest legislation calls for hiring 87,000 new IRS agents that according to the White House yesterday, WILL NOT BE INVOLVED IN REVIEWING OR AUDTITING any taxpayer who earns less than $400,000 per year. Divide 2.8 million by 87,000 and you will find that each of the "new" agents will only have to deal with 32 taxpayers annually to cover EVERYONE that earns over $400,000. Still believe this is true...hahaha

Typical for this thread. SF existed and contributed to this board dating all the way back to 2005 when NR's FB program was basically nothing more than a PE class after school with Coach Kirkton. It wasn't until Wogomon showed up in 2013 NR had more than 1 winning season in more than a decade or 2, so I'm glad to see that change. Raiders are (and should be) a top team in NLC football just like nearly every other sport. SF just doesn't have kids at NR anymore and my connections to the teams are not what they used to be so I contribute very little. Bu SF always enjoys popping in catching up!

This is nothing new, it has been going on for decades. You are touching on a topic near and dear to SF, coming from the MH/RV capitol of the world where my income has been generated since 1983. Constantly having to work with developers and campgrounds approaching towns, cities, counties to get approvals. I sit on the US and Canadian boards that write the National rules and regulations, but as always, the local municipalities can have the final say. Fortunately the Canadian developments are not as strict and we are one of the few approved to build for Canada.

Tweet from Mike Pompeo Executing a warrant against ex-POTUS is dangerous. The apparent political weaponization of DOJ/FBI is shameful. AG must explain why 250 yrs of practice was upended w/ this raid. I served on Benghazi Com where we proved Hilliary possessed classified info. We didn’t raid her home

It appears the left reeeeeaaaaalllllllyyyy doesn't want to turn Trump's spotlight off. The January 6 committee is coming up empty, so the left uses the FBI to "look" for classified documents. They are hoping all of America today believes Trump broke the law. "Why else would the FBI raid his home - He has to be guilty of something" All the while ignoring that while he was President he had the ultimate authority on what was classified or not. Our “Justice” Department. Loses Hunters laptop. Hides Epstens flight log. Ignores Hillary’s emails. Incites BLM violence. Allows judicial intimidation. But raids Mar a Lago looking for dirt. Wake up America. It’s now or never.

https://nypost.com/2022/08/07/mayor-eric-adams-greets-latest-border-crossers-in-nyc/ Mayor Adams was on hand for the cameras Sunday to greet the city’s latest busload of migrants being dumped here from Texas — only to be stunned to learn that the vast majority had gotten off before they made it. Wow - who would have thought.......illegal immigrants maybe wanting to just escape into the country and fade away safely instead of going to NYC?

https://nypost.com/2022/08/05/first-bus-of-migrants-from-texas-arrives-in-nyc-abbott-says/ “With pledges from Texas and Arizona to continue these abhorrent operations indefinitely, the situation is dire,” the mayor added, “and we consider this a humanitarian crisis – one that could overwhelm our social support network without immediate and sustained federal intervention.” SF wonders if these mayors in DC & NYC realize the slam of humanity that is at the border cities resulting from the BIden administration's open border policy/invitation. 6100 immigrants have been sent to DC (a "Sanctuary city" mind you) since April, now the first busload arrives in NYC (another "sanctuary city) and the Mayor cries foul and calls the practice "abhorrent". SF thinks these liberal mayors should probably get used to it.....
