AI Overview

The Trump administration has not directly "closed" disease control research, but it has drastically defunded and reorganized federal health agencies. The government has enacted *sweeping cuts to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH)*, dismantling broad public health programs and restricting international research collaborations.

Science | AAAS +2

The administration's approach to plague and disease control includes specific, large-scale shifts:

• International Restrictions:
• Slashing Federal Grants:
• Targeting Non-Infectious Diseases:

Under the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) initiative led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the administration attempted to eliminate the CDC's chronic disease and injury prevention programs, proposing drastic budget cuts that would reduce the CDC's staffing and overall funding.

Question: Quabalah: the thousand-year reign

🔹AI Overview

• 1. Kabbalistic Perspective (The Seventh Millennium)

In Kabbalah, human history is structured as a 7,000-year "cosmic week" that mirrors the seven days of creation.

• The First 6,000 Years: These represent the six weekdays. They are a period of spiritual struggle, human labor, and the refinement of the world.

Kabbalah 1000-year reign:

The Seventh Millennium:

The Messianic Era According to Rabbinic tradition, the seventh millennium is often referred to as the cosmic Shabbat. In Kabbalah and Hasidic thought, this era marks a transition from the physical realm of "doing" to the spiritual realm of "being."

The Return to Eden:

This era represents the restoration of the world to its perfected, Edenic state before Adam's sin.

Trump’s name removed from Kennedy Center after losing court fight

The president’s takeover of the storied cultural arts institution sparked furious criticism, including from members of the Kennedy family.

The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts has been restored to its proper name.

President Donald Trump’s name was officially cleared from the marble facade of the storied cultural institution on Saturday, the Kennedy Center said, after last-minute attempts by the Trump administration to delay a federal judge’s ruling that the name cannot be changed.

The center’s executive director, Chris Matthew Flocka, said in court documents filed Saturday that the organization has “removed all physical signage on the Kennedy Center building and grounds, including the front portico, that purports to rename the Kennedy Center after President Trump or any other individual besides President Kennedy.”

Flocka also said that the center has withdrawn trademark applications officially referring to the organization as the “Trump Kennedy Center,” removed references to Trump from all paperwork...

Canada vows to restrict social media for kids under 16. Teens say they'll 'always find a way'

Parents welcome setting safety guidelines, while students mixed on social media pros and cons

Canadian high schoolers have mixed feelings about the Safe Social Media Act (Bill C-34), introduced Wednesday by the federal government.

Key elements of the bill include establishing a new Digital Safety Commission and setting safety criteria and guidelines for social media and AI chatbots, but the element causing the most chatter is a ban on social accounts for kids under 16 (with the potential for exemption for services deemed who've put "adequate safeguards" in place).

Teens shared with CBC News their thoughts about a social media ban, while parents expressed guarded optimism moving forward. Here's what they said this week...

Ottawa has struggled to increase grocery competition. Will the new food strategy help?

Federal government says 75 per cent of grocery industry held by five top grocers

Could food terminals, more domestic food production and tougher enforcement against anticompetitive behaviour finally bring more competition to Canada's grocery sector? Maybe, say independent grocers and industry experts — depending on how the strategy rolls out.

Prime Minister Mark Carney announced a $3.2-billion food security strategy Thursday, with several measures aimed at increasing competition in the grocery sector.

That includes a $1-billion investment to create and expand food terminals and hubs, like Toronto's Ontario Food Terminal, to help independent grocers buy food at more competitive prices. The government aims to expand the Ontario Food Terminal by the end of this year. By 2028, it plans to start construction on two new terminals and establish or expand 10 food hubs...

Wow! What a morning! First of all, when I got up at 5:30 AM, I noticed the sky was a brownish-orange color. I recall seeing the sky like that only twice in my life. Once, when I was very young, when we lived in a lumber camp, there was a forest fire, and the second time was when I was about ten years old, the tail end of Hurricane Hazel, October of 1954. Thank G-d this mess, wherever it was, just quietly went on by; I'm sure we'll hear about it on the TV news. Then the sky cleared up again, and here I am, sitting in my green space, as usual, sipping my coffee once more.

Until the sky cleared up, I busied myself making room for our portable air conditioner in the living room, which meant moving a bit of furniture around. When I was done, the sun was shining brightly, and now here I am at the kitchen table making another late start at working on the News.

At the moment, I am busy living my daily soap opera, "As The Stomach Churns," starring my grossly sick, dum-dum stomach, acting like a spoiled child, throwing tantrums for nothing. It may have been from the tension of the possibility of a bad storm brewing out there. But then, I am only human, and I have my anxious and tense moments, so my dam--d stomach has to 'FESS UP TO the possibility of my getting tense and anxious and still be able to eat my bologna sandwich 🥪 and drink a glass of milk. I suppose I'll have to put up with the background rumbling in my stomach trying to make up its mind between being nauseous and experiencing short periods of relief. That's enough about my health.

Question: Stress-induced nausea

🔹AI Overview

Stress-induced nausea occurs because your brain and gut are deeply connected. When stressed, your body triggers a "fight-or-flight" response, releasing hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. This diverts blood flow away from your digestive system, slowing digestion and causing that familiar queasy, churning feeling.

*Read More - Google Search -*

Question: Stress-induced nausea and GERD

🔹AI Overview

Stress-induced nausea and GERD are driven by the gut-brain axis, where the central nervous system responds to stress by releasing hormones that disrupt digestion. This response slows stomach emptying, increases gastric acid, and causes the lower esophageal sphincter to relax, allowing acid to backflow and causing severe nausea.

IT'S A B--CH!

On the brighter side, I know I need to come to terms with everything. Every day of one's life will bring resistance, failure, and stress. THAT MAY BE LIFE, but it's not necessarily right. There's something wrong with this whole picture, something that's way out of sync with the space-time continuum.

_*That is why I think the existence of our world has only been here a short time compared to the rest of the galaxy, just as there are primordial worlds out there that you can only observe with a special telescope like the Webb, even to detect them. The farther one looks towards the central point of our universe, the more primordial the worlds will be, and the better chance of finding a fully evolved planet that will support life as we know it.

Albanian protests over Kushner-linked resort project grow into anti-government rallies

Activists say the projects — linked to Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner — threaten sensitive ecosystems, including beloved Mediterranean flamingo habitats.

Police in Tirana, Albania, use water cannons against people protesting the construction of a massive coastal development project linked to Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump on June 3, 2026.

TIRANA, Albania — Tens of thousands of people took to the streets again Thursday for the 12th consecutive day of protests in a movement initially sparked by a controversial luxury resort project linked to Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner. The protests have since evolved into a broader public outcry against corruption and the government of Prime Minister Edi Rama.

“I really think we need a big change right now because our country doesn’t feel like it’s protecting us or serving its own people,” protester Estela Ujka told MS NOW.

The demonstrations began over plans to develop on Albania’s protected Vjosa-Narta lagoon and the nearby island of Sazan, a pristine former military base off the country’s southern coast. Environmental activists say the projects threaten sensitive ecosystems, including one of the Mediterranean’s largest flamingo habitats. As a result, the protests have been dubbed the “Flamingo Revolution.” ...

Ontario spent $465M more on OSAP last year. 95% of that went to private career college students, docs show

Critics say new figures show unsustainable costs cited by premier were problem of government's own making

When Ontario Premier Doug Ford's government drastically cut student assistance grants earlier this year, it cited "unsustainable" costs, but new figures show nearly all of the recent growth was among private career college students.

Data obtained by The Canadian Press through a freedom of information request shows that between the 2023-24 and 2024-25 academic years, the province spent $465 million more on Ontario Student Assistance Program grants, and 95 per cent of that went to private career college students.

That points to a problem of the government's own making and the solution did not have to penalize students at universities and publicly funded colleges, opposition critics said...

Trump warns the US will seize key Iranian oil export hub Kharg Island

• Trump threatens to take key Iranian island: President Donald Trump warned Thursday morning the US will hit Iran "VERY HARD TONIGHT" and threatened to take Kharg Island, which handles roughly 90% of Iran's crude exports.

If that's what you envision, that's the way it will be. We reap what we sow, and what good can come from planting and living in things as dark and negative as hatred and paranoia?

Question: HOPE.

Hope is a Discipline - Pioneer Bible Translators. Hope is an optimistic state of mind that combines a desire for a certain outcome with the expectation or belief that it is attainable. It is a powerful human emotion that drives motivation, resilience, and the pursuit of future goals.

• Beyond the psychological and dictionary definition, "Hope" refers to several well-known subjects, LIKE:
• Religion & Philosophy
• Biblical Hope:

In a theological context, hope is often defined not as wishful thinking, but as a confident expectation and an unwavering certainty.

🔹AI Overview

Hope:

Hope is the desire for a specific outcome paired with the belief or expectation that it is possible. It acts as a mental anchor and a powerful motivator, driving you to imagine and reach for a better future, even when facing current challenges

• How Hope Works:
• Hope vs. Optimism:
• Common Expressions & Idioms:

I quite agree with what most people are thinking right now: it's difficult to have hope in your heart while all else around you is falling apart at the seams. Well, sometimes you have to let the stuffing out and sort out all the other junk that doesn't belong in your stuffing, like screws, glass, and razor blades, then restuff the doll with GOOD STUFFING. Suppose you are that stuffed doll. In a human, we should be stuffed with what is GOOD STUFFING: caring, supportive, nurturing, what should be natural caring for one another, EMPATHY.
