Should we expect a spike in bone spur diagnosisβs from the millionaire and billionaire classes? Or perhaps since transgendered individuals canβt be in the US military there will be a rush for that diagnosis by the wealthy?

US orders 2,500 Marines and an amphibious assault ship to Mideast after almost 2 weeks of war
The American military has ordered 2,500 Marines and an amphibious assault ship to the Middle East. Thatβs according to a U.S. official who spoke Friday to The Associated Press.
Mission creep and the Vietnam War through the eyes of those watching the Iran war. In Vietnam it started with just advisors, then a few thousand soldiers, then eventually 536,000+ U.S. troops. Around 58,000 U.S. soldiers died. The draft for the Vietnam War started soon after fighting escalated.

"But Trumpβs preference of leaning on a tight circle of close advisers in his national security decision making had the effect of sidelining interagency debate over the potential economic fallout if Iran were to respond to US-Israeli strikes by closing the strait."

Iβm an NIH whistleblower. The scientific community cannot afford to avoid politics
βScientists are often encouraged to avoid politics. But this advice is outdated, if it was ever correct in the first place,β writes Jenna Norton, NIH whistleblower.
Everybody should know who @jenna-m-norton.bsky.social is.
In this day and age it is more risky to keep your head down than to be the whistleblower that we needs.
Right now, being called "a radical leftist" is a badge of honor. And imperative.

Bernie Sanders just said the quiet part out loud:
"A lot of US Middle East policy is dictated by Israel. It was Israel who decided they wanted to go to war."
He exposes how Netanyahu has manipulated America into wars for 40 years, from Iraq to Iran.
