When democrats talk about the support for their candidates, and create bots as influencers, this is path modeling. It’s a scientific method to change the hearts and minds of people to peddle influence over the masses.
This IS the election interference we have been warned about.

It’s also important to note, they are hiring firms to create the divide. This is not exclusive to democrats. You should question all divisive content that aims to manufacture outrage with no balance.

The Supreme Court’s Thursday decision in Students for Fair Admissions v. President and Fellows of Harvard College dealt an overdue blow to race-based college admissions, and some of the best punches were thrown by Justice Clarence Thomas in his concurrence. https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/22pdf/20-1199_hgdj.pdf
The court ruled that so-called “affirmative action” at Harvard and the University of North Carolina were in violation of the 14th Amendment and its application via the Civil Rights Act. Policies that discriminate based on race without demonstrating a compelling public interest, the six justices in the majority agreed, are not compatible with our founding principles of equal rights under the law for every American.
In addition to signing on to the majority opinion authored by Chief Justice John Roberts, Thomas wrote a nearly 60-page concurrence to express his horror at the idea of institutionalized racial discrimination in 21st-century America. Here are 15 of his best lines.
- The best way to fix discrimination is not more discrimination.
Three mosquitoes collected near Sarasota, Florida, have tested positive for malaria amid an unusual cluster of locally acquired cases. It is the first time in two decades that US mosquitoes have tested positive for malaria in connection to US-based cases.
Four cases have so far been confirmed in Florida, all in close geographic proximity, health officials reported on Monday. The Sarasota Herald-Tribune reported Wednesday that officials are investigating a possible fifth case. //
The mosquitoes that transmit the malaria parasite are of the Anopheles genus. There are multiple species of Anopheles mosquitoes in the US, which have been found in at least 32 states. //
The cluster of locally acquired malaria cases around Sarasota—as well as an unrelated case in Texas—marks the first time the parasite is known to have spread in the US since 2003, when there was a cluster of cases in Palm Beach, Florida. In that outbreak, no captured mosquitoes were found to be positive for malaria.
However, an investigation around a cluster of locally acquired cases in Loudon County, Virginia, in 2002 turned up malaria-positive mosquitoes. It was the first time since 1957 that US mosquitoes linked to locally acquired cases had tested positive for a malaria parasite.
