Italian company sees US citizenship applicants quadruple since 2016
Amid the Covid-19 pandemic and a turbulent few years in American politics, many US citizens are now seeking Italian citizenship in a bid for free healthcare, affordable university education and a less frenetic lifestyle. CNN's Ben Wedeman reports.

Interesting note ... - They mention in the video, Italy was once politically unstable. Now they seem to be more stable politically and people are leaving America to live in Italy for that reason.
What Does Artificial Intelligence, Jeff Bezos and Plant-Based Milk Have in Common?
What Does Artificial Intelligence, Jeff Bezos and Plant-Based Milk Have in Common?
Appropriately launched on World Vegan Day (November 1), their innovative plant-based milk called NotMilk made it’s debut in the U.S., in Whole Foods locations nationwide.
How did they do it?
With the help of their fascinating proprietary artificial intelligence (A.I.) technology called Giuseppe.
Founded in 2015 by biotech engineer Matías Muchnick, biochemist Pablo Zamora, and computer scientist Karim Pichara, NotCo’s Giuseppe is able to (in extremely simple terms) use machine-learning algorithms that replicate animal-based products.
Giuseppe does this by deep learning animal products on a molecular level. Using this knowledge, it sweeps through its database of extensive plant-based ingredients to select the closest matches to recreate the animal-products. Pretty cool, right?
Giuseppe worked its big data magic to formulate NotMilk with a blend of plant-based ingredients including pea protein, chicory root fiber, pineapple juice, coconut oil, sunflower oil and cabbage juice.

I tried it, and shockingly, it does taste like milk
Welcome to the Matriarchy: The Manosphere Is Freaking Out Over a Kamala Harris Presidency
Welcome to the Matriarchy: The Manosphere Is Freaking Out Over a Kamala Harris Presidency
A storyline is gaining traction in the manosphere, one that seems likely to explode once Biden is sworn in: that Democrats are calculatedly sneaking in our first woman president. The theory holds that either Biden will die and Harris will take over power, or she will be his puppet master from behind the scenes. It is all part of a paranoid fantasy about gynocentric “pinkout” of “femoid” political control, which will usher in matriarchy and feminist control.
This anti-feminist conspiracy theory is only buoyed by the baseless claims of mail-in voter fraud that currently dominate the manosphere. This loose network of anti-feminist online communities, known for its divisive fractures, is now overwhelmingly united in the false claim of a stolen election. Of course, it’s the same plotline seeded many months ago by President Donald Trump, one that’s perfectly tailored for the manosphere’s conspiratorial, disenfranchised mindset—a world where mainstream “illusions” are punctured, turning the oppressed into oppressors, losers into winners. Even those who consider themselves apolitical—because all politicians are “manginas,” because real men make their own reality, because a new POTUS shouldn’t hurt your chances of getting laid, bro—are now railing against the legitimacy of a Biden presidency.
Here, in the pairing of these two conspiracy theories, is the alternate reality in which the manosphere will be living for the next four years: a stolen election that brings men under a woman’s rule. Four years ago, the Red Pill forum, and the broader manosphere, identified the presidential runoff between Trump and Hillary Clinton as a “war on men” and celebrated the former candidate as “an alpha male who would fight for men’s political fortune,” as scholars have put it. Now, as Trump contests the election results, a more extreme version of that narrative is taking hold, one in which the war on men has been fought and unfairly won. It’s probable that a Biden/Harris administration will only fuel this conviction.
SNIP --------
Others spent last week questioning women’s right to vote. Anthony “Dream” Johnson, an antagonist of Tomassi, a vocal Trump supporter, and the self-described “president of the manosphere,” RTed a tweet suggesting that women voting goes against “God’s ordained order of men being the leaders” and “has only caused chaos in our country.” (Previously, Johnson has suggested that “all women should vote how their husbands tell them.”)
Yeah, tell me again why I'm supposed to understand these folks? 
Trump supporters are fueled by hate, one way or the other.

R&B Singer Jeremih hospitalized with Covid - in ICU on a ventilator
He's only 33 yrs old. According to TMZ, it doesn't look good.
1:04 PM PT -- Sources close to the situation tell TMZ ... Jeremih is currently on a breathing ventilator within the ICU he's being treated at, and we're told his condition has recently gotten worse.
Jeremih is fighting for his life, battling COVID-19 -- he's currently hospitalized in the ICU and the prognosis is bleak ... sources tell TMZ.
Sources with direct knowledge tell us the R&B singer is being treated at a hospital for COVID-19. It's unclear how long he's been admitted, or how long he's had the virus ... but he is not doing well.
Word that he was seriously ill started percolating online Saturday -- with rappers like 50 Cent, Chance the Rapper, producer Hitmaka and others asking for prayers on Jeremih's behalf, but not necessarily saying what exactly was wrong with him at first.

Georgia short of intensive care nurses as winter threatens surge of coronavirus cases
Meanwhile asshole Kemp is still against masks. Tell me why these republicans should not be sued for negligence? at minimum?
And another reason why the herd immunity plan is so dumb and dangerous. We don't have the manpower to take care of the number of people that will get sick.
Snip----------
Now, with the coronavirus widespread in Georgia and across the nation, hospitals are competing for a shrinking pool of nurses.
“Right now, it’s just a national market, because I think all the hospitals across the country are recruiting the same nurses,” said Richard Lamphier, a pediatric registered nurse and president of the Georgia Nurses Association.
For Augusta University, newly minted nurses from local schools are crucial. But to also get experienced nurses, the health system has begun hiring from the Philippines, part of a plan set in motion last year. “The demand is just greater than the supply” said Laura Brower, chief nursing officer of AU.
‘They’re scared’
The pandemic has taken a heavy toll on the profession. Some nurses have died. Others fell sick and recovered but spent weeks off work. Others decided they’d just had enough.
Dana Horton, a radiology registered nurse at the Atlanta VA Medical Center and the local union director for National Nurses United, said that after a long lull at the hospital, COVID-19 numbers are ticking back up, creating new fears about adequate personal protective equipment and staffing.

Brad Parscale is trying to stop Florida from obtaining his psychiatric records to keep his 11 guns
Ex-Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale is trying to stop Florida from obtaining his psychiatric records so they could take his guns away
Attorneys for Brad Parscale argued in court Thursday morning that the city of Ft. Lauderdale had no right to take his guns away after his wife told police in September he was "ranting and raving" with a handgun.
The hearing, over Zoom, was to determine whether Ft. Lauderdale has the right to obtain Parscale's psychiatric records and use them to make a decision. Florida's "red flag" law could allow the city to hold on to his 11 guns for one year if authorities determine he poses a significant threat to himself or others.
In late September, Parscale, who was then the manager of President Donald Trump's reelection campaign, was involuntarily detained by police outside of his Ft. Lauderdale home and hospitalized. His wife, Candice Parscale, called 911 after he pulled out a gun and threatened to harm himself.
She also told a responding officer at the time that she had "several large-sized contusions on both of her arms, her cheek, and forehead" because he "hits her," according to the police report. She later told news outlets that her husband didn't hit her. Brad Parscale was ultimately released without charges.

Did Hell Freeze Over?? Robert Jeffries breaks rank, says Biden is President Elect
Trump-Supporting Pastor Breaks Ranks, Calls Biden President-Elect
Trump-Supporting Pastor Breaks Ranks, Calls Biden President-Elect
Evangelical Christian leader Robert Jeffress calls Biden’s victory “a bitter pill to swallow,” but, unlike Trump and other Republicans, he isn’t calling it a fraud.
An evangelical Christian leader who has been one of Donald Trump’s biggest supporters is breaking ranks with the president over who won the election.
In an op-ed for Fox News, Robert Jeffress said “it appears that former Vice President Joe Biden will become the 46th president of the United States on Jan. 20, unless President Trump succeeds in legal challenges to the counting of votes in several states.”
He calls Biden’s victory “a bitter pill to swallow” for “millions of Christians across our nation.” But, unlike Trump and other Republicans, he isn’t calling the election a fraud.
Jeffress admits it’s “always easier to submit and to pray for someone when he was our preferred candidate,” but added that Christians should welcome the chance to show ”[we] are not hypocrites.”
He wrote:
“When Joe Biden becomes president, we should commend him for the things he does right. We should condemn the things he does wrong. And above all, we must pray fervently for our president.
“If President Biden succeeds, we all succeed. May God bless Joe Biden, and may God bless the United States of America.”

Did trump super spreader event kill one of his evangelical advisers?
https://twitter.com/yoyobeatty/status/1326002864343425024Jackson was a frequent White House visitor who served as an unofficial evangelical adviser to Trump and attended a number of high-profile events this year, including the Republican National Convention and the ceremony where Justice Amy Coney Barrett was officially announced as Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Religion News reported. According to the Hope Christian Church’s website, Jackson has been the senior pastor at the ministry since 1988, when he transferred from Corning, New York.
Jackson was not only a pastor but also a political activist who frequently made appearances at White House events or more recently on the campaign trail with Republicans. On April 10, Jackson appeared in the Oval Office at a Good Friday gathering to offer a prayer. He said, “Once again, give this great man, our president, and give the vice president wisdom beyond their natural limitations. Give them insights so they can cover us, lead us and bless us,” Religion News reported.
Jackson also appeared at the White House ceremony for Trump’s official announcement nominating Justice Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court and also appeared alongside Vice President Mike Pence at a town hall on November 1, the outlet wrote. Jackson’s church confirmed to the outlet in October that the pastor had tested negative for coronavirus after the White House event at which many attendees tested positive.

Texas Kindergartener dies from Covid 19 within 15 hrs after she was diagnosed and sent home
[link:
|Lastassija White first noticed something was wrong on October 27. That's when her 5-year-old daughter, Tagan Drone, began acting lethargic. In the days that followed, the child's symptoms only worsened, until the Texas mother became so worried, she rushed her daughter to the ER. It was there on October 29 that the 5-year-old was diagnosed with the coronavirus. Little did the mom know that less than a day later, her daughter would be dead.
At first, Tagan's symptoms seemed benign.
"She was just sleeping, sleeping, sleeping," her mother told KAMR. "That went on until Tuesday and Wednesday. She was still eating and drinking, and then Wednesday night she started throwing up."
ER doctors quickly diagnosed the little girl with the novel coronavirus but told her mother she had nothing to worry about. In fact, they even sent her home, telling White that "she would be fine."
Tagan was found unresponsive in bed the next morning.
Though she was still breathing and her mother immediately called 911, there was nothing doctors could do. She was pronounced dead later that morning, leaving her family absolutely devastated.
White still can't believe what happened.
"My daughter was perfectly healthy," she told KAMR. "Perfectly healthy. There's no way that should have happened. And [the doctor] came in, they discharged us and just told me that she would be fine. It doesn't affect kids, not to have her around anybody older."
