President Trump has released a last minute video pleading with the people of Kentucky to stand with his AIPAC backed candidate over Thomas Massie. Trump says Thomas Massie is the worst congressman in the history of the United States. Not Lindsey Graham Not John Thune Not Mitch McConnell Not Nancy Pelosi Not Adam Schiff “I hope you’re going to put him out of business tomorrow.”

A peer-reviewed paper published last year in the journal Bioethics by two professors at Western Michigan University School of Medicine argues that it is "morally obligatory" to genetically engineer ticks to spread alpha-gal syndrome, a permanent condition that makes you violently allergic to red meat. The paper is called "Beneficial Bloodsucking." Their argument: if eating meat is morally wrong, then preventing the spread of a disease that forces people to stop eating meat is also morally wrong. Scientists should gene-edit lone star ticks to enhance their ability to carry alpha-gal syndrome and expand their range into urban environments to infect more people. They call this a "moral bioenhancer." They frame releasing genetically modified disease-carrying ticks as a "vaccination" that only "infringes" on your bodily autonomy rather than "violating" it. The distinction, apparently, is that a tick bit you instead of a government official holding you down. Alpha-gal syndrome is not mild. The CDC estimates up to 450,000 Americans are already affected. Cases have surged 100-fold in the last decade. Symptoms include anaphylaxis. There is no cure. Alpha-gal cases are exploding across the United States. The lone star tick's range is expanding far beyond its historical territory. And two academics at a medical school published a paper arguing this is a good thing that should be accelerated. At what point do we stop treating papers like this as fringe academic exercises and start asking whether anyone is already acting on them?

Islam will always have a place in the United States of America. I don't care what anyone says to the contrary. I'm a proud American Muslim and that will never change.

One tick bite made this man allergic to red meat. Now over 450,000 Americans are allergic to beef & dairy and the number is rising. What’s is going on?

A peer-reviewed paper from two medical school professors literally argues it’s “morally good” to genetically engineer ticks to spread a disease that makes people permanently allergic to red meat. Not joking. The paper says scientists should enhance lone star ticks and spread them into more populated areas so more people develop alpha-gal syndrome — a condition that can cause severe allergic reactions and has no cure.
