Fact-checking Judy Mikovits, the controversial virologist attacking Anthony Fauci in a viral conspiracy video

 https://www.science.org/content/article/fact-checking-judy-mikovits-controversial-virologist-attacking-anthony-fauci-viral

Mikovits has not published anything in the scientific literature since 2012. But she soon began to promote the XMRV hypothesis again, and attack the Lipkin study that she agreed had put the issue to rest. She has weighed in on the autism debate with controversial theories about causes and treatments. Her discredited work and her legal travails have made her a martyr in the eyes of some.

GOP votes against Gosar censure, but frustration builds against controversial congressman: 'It's all silly'

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/gosar-republicans-censure-controversial 

 He’s not your mainstream Republican, a lot of people think he’s kooky," a different House GOP aide told Fox News. "He’s the type of Republican that’s far more a liability to the conference than an asset… There’s not much seriousness in his work.

"We can’t just be kicking people off committees… it’s a slippery slope," the GOP aide also said. "No one’s defending — most of the conference is not defending what he did."

A former aide to Gosar, meanwhile, said Gosar is "a smart person" and "a good person" who "just made some bad decisions." 

Gosar is "not a whackado," the former aide told Fox News. "But he represents a very far-right district" and "has made the strategic decision to try to replicate Donald Trump's bombastic style" because it's "what the people want."

"But attempting to replicate Donald Trump is going to get you in trouble," the former aide added. 

Gosar's Twitter header notably is a photo of the former president.

How a Vaguely Worded Wisconsin Law Could Let Rittenhouse Walk

 https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2021/11/17/wisconsin-self-defense-law-rittenhouse-522814

 If Kyle Rittenhouse is acquitted, it’s going to shock a lot of people. But if you’ve been following the case closely, it will be less of a surprise. This trial — and particularly the judge’s instruction to the jury on the concept of “provocation” — has highlighted a key flaw in the way legislatures have written their laws to describe when a person may kill lawfully in self-defense.

In an era in which more and more Americans are carrying guns and invoking their right to self-defense, these flawed laws are going to continue to lead to controversial verdicts. But lawmakers have the ability to clarify them. Here’s how.

Congressman Threatening Violence With Attack on Titan Sees Actual Consequences

 https://news.yahoo.com/congressman-threatening-violence-attack-titan-225500225.html

 In the debate leading up to the censure vote, the Republicans mostly argued that the United States faced more pressing issues than the contents of an anime video. Noted weeb Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona attempted to explain why Gosar’s controversial video was not a death threat by invoking his deep-seated familiarity with Japanese culture and anime:

 I’ve lived in Japan for several years. I speak Japanese. I read and write Japanese. This is an anime, Shingeki no Kyojin. Highly popular, stylized, intended to demonstrate the alienation that people feel, particularly young people feel, in their cultures. Does anime have violence? Yes. It’s highly stylized violence. It is not meant to induce people to violence.

The Bulletproof Diet is everything wrong with eating in America

 Still, Asprey went so far as to say: "There is one best way to help people lose weight, and that is eliminating inflammation." He said people who want to lose weight just need to test out different foods, determine if they cause them to  "feel food cravings and brain fog" and then eliminate those foods from their lives.

To find out about the evidence behind this system, I looked at a bunch of the citations for the claims that he makes about food. What I found was a patchwork of cherry-picked research and bad studies or articles that aren't relevant to humans. He selectively reported on studies that backed up his arguments, and ignored the science that contradicted them. Many of the studies weren't done in humans but in rats and mice. Early studies on animals, especially on something as complex as nutrition, should never be extrapolated to humans. Asprey glorifies coconut oil and demonizes olive oil, ignoring the wealth of randomized trials(the highest quality of evidence) that have demonstrated olive oil is beneficial for health. Some of the research he cites was done on very specific sub-populations, such as diabetics, or on very small groups of people. These findings wouldn't be generalizable to the rest of us.

House votes to censure and remove Gosar from committees over violent video targeting AOC and Biden

 https://edition.cnn.com/2021/11/17/politics/house-vote-censure-gosar-aoc-video/index.html

The House of Representatives voted Wednesday to approve a resolution that censures Rep. Paul Gosar and strips him of his two committee assignments, the first time a sitting House member has been censured in more than 10 years.

The action led by House Democrats represents a major rebuke to the Arizona Republican for posting a photoshopped anime video to social media showing him appearing to kill Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and attacking President Joe Biden.

The final vote was 223 to 207. Republicans Adam Kinzinger of Illinois and Liz Cheney of Wyoming voted with all the Democrats for the censure resolution. Republican Rep. David Joyce of Ohio voted present, meaning he took no position either way.

Gosar took down the video after facing criticism but did not apologize. About an hour after being censured, Gosar retweeted a tweet praising him that also included the video.

Israeli couple accused of spying by Turkey released, sent home

 https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/israeli-couple-released-from-turkey-on-way-home-685317

 Natali and Mordi Oaknin, the Israeli couple jailed in Istanbul after photographing Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s residence, were released from prison and returned to Israel on Thursday morning.

"After joint efforts with Turkey, Mordi and Natali Oaknin were released from custody prison and are on their way home to Israel," Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Foreign Minister Yair Lapid said in a statement. "[We] thanked the President of Turkey and his government for their cooperation and look forward to welcoming the couple back home.

The couple’s release came nine days after their arrest, after a concerted effort from the Foreign Ministry and Prime Minister’s Office, which emphasized that, contrary to the Turkish prosecution’s accusation, the Oaknins are not Israeli spies and have nothing to do with Israeli intelligence. In addition, Mossad chief David Barnea spoke to his counterpart and President Isaac Herzog called senior figures in Turkey.

Knesset approves commission of inquiry into death of Ahuvya Sandak

https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/317113 

The Knesset on Wednesday approved the establishment of a commission of inquiry into the death of Ahuvya Sandak, the 17-year-old boy who was killed in a police chase last year.

Both the coalition and the opposition voted to support the measure, including Prime Minister Naftali Bennett.

Under the measure, a joint committee will be established from the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee and the Internal Security Committee in the next two weeks, to discuss the issue of the response of the police and the IDF to the 'hill-top youth.' The establishment of the joint committee was initiated by MK Nir Orbach (Yamina).

 

Two men convicted of role in Malcolm X assassination to be exonerated on Thursday

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2021/11/17/malcolm-x-killing-exoneration/

Manhattan prosecutors on Thursday will move to vacate the convictions of two men who served decades in prison for their alleged role in the assassination of civil rights icon Malcolm X, officials involved in the case said.

After a Netflix documentary last year raised doubts about the guilt of Muhammad A. Aziz, who previously went by the name Norman 3X Butler, and Khalil Islam (a.k.a. Thomas 15X Johnson), who died in 2009, the office of Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. launched a review of the case.

Vance’s office and the Innocence Project, which is part of Aziz’s legal team, announced on Wednesday that two men would be exonerated on Thursday afternoon in New York State Supreme Court.

While the announcement did not name the men, Aziz is the only living person convicted in the assassination who has tried to clear his name.

Unlikely coalition wants women to register for military draft

 https://www.axios.com/mandatory-draft-registration-women-74f20132-e733-4c90-9c21-07dca512fba0.html

Driving the news: Whether allowing women to serve in combat also means they should have to sign up for the military draft has been a debate for decades. Now, an unlikely coalition of feminists, veterans and conservatives could make it law as part of the Senate's expected passage of the National Defense Authorization Act.

• The House included the change when it passed its version of the NDAA in September. The Senate could act as early as this week.
• A majority on the Senate Armed Services Committee backed the change in a markup over the summer. One group of Republicans now is renewing an effort to block it as the Senate considers amendments before a final vote, but it's not clear they have the numbers to stop it.
• Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has said for years the draft also should apply to women.
