Public health officials are grappling with how far to go in advising gay men to alter their sexual behavior as the monkeypox virus spreads mostly through their social networks but is a threat to anyone. The World Health Organization chief specifically advised gay men to reduce their number of sexual partners, but other health officials, including the health commissioner in New York City, have warned that abstinence messages don’t work.(Snip)The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in recent days updated its guidance to say anyone—not just gay men—can limit their exposure to monkeypox by limiting sexual partners and avoiding “spaces like back rooms, saunas, sex clubs,

Comments:

USA is an LGBTQIA+ nation now; we fly the flag of our overlords on our embassies and teach it in our federally managed local public schools, and teach celebration of such to our armed forces. So why pussyfoot around the plain fact that many Gay men have prolific sex with whoever, wherever? That's a central component to the Gay lifestyle we all admire now.

Now they will demand that all research facilities stop all other research on curing/treating diseases and find a cure for Monkeypox this year. If not, the researchers are discriminating against the mulitletter+- whatever group.

It is estimated there were: Nearly 68 million STIs on any given day in 2018 (prevalent STIs). 26 million newly acquired STIs in 2018 (incident STIs). Nearly one in two incident STIs were acquired by people aged 15 to24 years old. Nearly $16 billion in direct lifetime medical costs resulting from STIs acquired in 2018.

Spend a few minutes looking at pictures from "Gay Pride" events in San Francisco where anything goes - public nudity, public homosexual sex acts with multiple partners. All of it going on under the watchful eyes of the SF Police with not a single person arrested for public indecency. That's why monkeypox is spreading like wildfire among the male homosexual communities around the world. Contrary to the pictures you see of lesions on arms, hands and legs, the primary areas of infection in the gay community is the genitals, hind end and to a lesser degree, the throat.

President Biden and his family, including disgraced first son Hunter, are spending their summer vacation at a $20 million beachfront mansion in South Carolina, The Post has learned—and they’re not paying a dime. The president recently asked prominent Democratic donor Maria Allwin—the widow of hedge fund founder James Allwin—if he could stay at her nine-bedroom Kiawah Island estate, a source close to the family told The Post. “They stayed here before and they’re not paying,” the source said. “They’ve never paid. They’re just friends.”(Snip)Maria Allwin has contributed to an array of mostly Democratic political campaigns, but her most recent donations are to Rep. Liz Cheney

Stabbings are on a rise in the Big Apple amid a citywide surge in major crime, according to the latest figures obtained by The Post. The statistics, which cover the period through Aug. 7, show that stabbings have risen by 11% compared to the same span last year–from 2,465 to 2,756. Fatal stabbings have jumped a whopping 43%–from 48 to 69–during the same period, the data shows. “People aren’t afraid to carry guns, so obviously they are not worried [about carrying] knives,” a Manhattan cop told The Post. “Plus it is a lot easier to get a hold of a knife.”

If Donald Trump was going to run again, we assumed that the media would once again be the former president's largest pool of support, unwittingly, of course, with the nonstop negative coverage that would have only pushed more voters into his corner. Matt Taibbi noted that they're the "kingmakers of suck," arrogant, and more concerned with expounding on their moral superiority than covering the elections properly. Post-Russian collusion hoax, no one believes them, as evidenced by the appalling trust numbers the American public has given this industry over the past five or so years. That all ended last night.

Biden met with a group of scholars last week on August 4, the same day a fierce lightning storm raged across Washington D.C., where they told him it a perilous moment in modern day political history, the Washington Post reported.

When the FBI raided Trump’s home in Mar-a-Lago, it didn’t just senselessly root through the former President’s files, crack open his safe, and snatch up boxes of documents to confiscate for whatever anti-Trump investigation they have going on. Though all that seems to have happened during the banana republic-like raid, the FBI did something else, something even more horrific: it rooted through Melania Trump’s clothes, rifling through her outfits and underwear in what can be interpreted as nothing other than a gross attempt at humiliating the former president and his family.

Of all agencies in the government, this one probably has the most accurate and up-to-date files on every taxpayer, which is no surprise. It was seen as the most hated agency in America for legitimate purposes, though the FBI and DOJ might have supplanted them given the recent raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago. Still, the IRS becoming secret police might no longer be a joke. The page was taken down for problematic copy regarding the special agent positions,

On its jobs page is a listing of vacancies for special agents to be placed around the country to root out financial fraud. But these are opening for more than just financial experts: They will also be armed. Among the job requirements listed: “Carry a firearm and be willing to use deadly force, if necessary.”
