I've researched red light therapy. It seems you need a different tool for each situation. I already have one for the face. Little tiny thing and now they have come out with one for the eyes and another one for the woke face and another for the arms. It is so confusing and the reviews I feel like are all generated by the same group of indiduals or AI.  I'll continue my research.

The one I use has been discontinued, it is a plug-in model instead of cordless.  Most of the new ones are cordless.  The one shown below is like the one I have.  It is for shoulders, but my wife used it on her knee before she had knee replacement, she had to wait 6 weeks for knee replacement so used the red-light therapy on it to help with the pain. It did bring temporary relief for her.  I bought her one made for the knee, which didn’t work that well for her.  The shoulder wrap is flat, so I was able to use it on my back and knee also.

The one listed below is on Amazon and is like the one I use but is cordless.  They are priced all over the place, I bought an inexpensive one to see if I liked it before investing a lot of money in it.  I am happy with the one I use. 

 

Comfytemp Cordless Red Light Therapy for Shoulder, 94 LEDs Wearable Near Infrared Light Wrap, 3D Portable Flexible Wrap with Timer, 660nm & 850nm (No Massage,One Size)  It is made by Comftytemp US and is on Amazon.

A government policy initially justified as a response to a torrent of unlawful immigrants can wind up creating problems unrelated to that initial motivation.  I personally know brilliant, successful, patent-holding scientists and engineers who are responding to recruitments from other countries.  Some of these were once eagerly recruited immigrants.  Others are U.S.-born citizens.  I know a grandson of Edward Teller's Los Alamos team who helps run the research labs of two different Nobel laureates in California; some leading European research labs are courting him.

The following appears to be quoted from a recent Wall Street Journal article:

"The United States experienced negative net migration in 2025, with more people leaving than arriving for the first time in 90 years – and the trend is expected to continue, according to a report.

The last time the phenomenon occurred was in 1935 at the height of the Great Depression, when more than 100,000 Americans struggling to make ends meet applied to emigrate to the Soviet Union to work in its factories, manufacturing plants and mills in pursuit of a fairer way of life.

Now history is repeating itself: according toThe Wall Street Journal, which cites data from the Brookings Institution, the U.S. headcount showed a 150,000 deficit last year, while the country recorded a total in-migration of between 2.6 and 2.7 million, down from a recent high of 6 million in 2023.

Although it is difficult to measure the precise extent of the exodus as the U.S. has not kept comprehensive emigration statistics since the Dwight D Eisenhower era in the 1950s, the WSJ calculates there is currently anywhere between 4 and 9 million Americans living abroad, basing its findings on residence permits, foreign home purchases, student enrollments and other available metrics.

There are an estimated 1.6 million people of U.S. origin living in Mexico, the newspaper reports, another 1.5 million in Europe, 325,000 of whom are in the U.K. and 250,000 in Canada."

Thank you Nova for the information. It gives me a starting point to actually research an item that I know has been used by someone I actually know.

Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon’s recent update should wake every patriot up: federal reviews of state voter rolls have turned up massive inaccuracies, including roughly 260,000 deceased people still listed as potential voters and what investigators describe as widespread registration errors across millions of records. This is not a trivial clerical quibble — it is evidence that our election system has been allowed to rot while officials look the other way.

Shanaka Anslem Perera: Seven clocks are running.

 
Seven clocks are running. None of them negotiable. All of them counting down to the same weeks.
 
The planting clock. Mid-April is the biological deadline for corn and soybean planting across the US Midwest. Every day that passes without nitrogen becoming affordable and available narrows the window for corn. USDA projects corn falling to 94 million acres from 98.8 million. Soybeans rising to 85 million from 81.2 million. The seeds that go into the ground in the next three weeks determine America’s grain harvest in October. The decision is irreversible.
 
The USDA clock. March 31. Prospective Plantings. The report that converts farmer intentions into official data. Every acreage number, every corn-soy ratio, every nitrogen-dependent calculation becomes a published fact that traders, governments, and food agencies will use to model global supply for the next twelve months. The number arrives in twelve days.
 
The FAO clock. April 3. The Food Price Index. The first global reading that captures post-Hormuz commodity prices across cereals, vegetable oils, dairy, meat, and sugar. The 2022 peak was 159.7 in March 2022 after Ukraine. This reading will incorporate oil above $100, urea at $610, LNG halted, packaging repriced, and freight surcharges of $500 to $1,500 per container. The number that determines whether the UN declares a food emergency arrives in fifteen days.
 
The pharmaceutical clock. India’s API inventory buffers are two to three months, measured from the war’s onset on February 28. Late May is the depletion window. Methanol at 87.7 percent Hormuz exposure feeds the solvent chain for paracetamol, ibuprofen, metformin, and antibiotics. Once buffers deplete, the shortage becomes a patient access crisis for the 47 percent of US generics that originate in India.
 
The China crude clock. FGE NexantECA confirmed China is drawing commercial reserves at up to one million barrels per day. The draw sustains refinery operations for four to six weeks from March 19. Mid-April to late April is the exhaustion window. After that, China faces three options: accelerate Russian pipeline imports, reroute at massive premium, or crack open the strategic petroleum reserve. The third option reprices every commodity on the planet.
 
The helium clock. SK Hynix and Samsung hold two to three months of helium inventory. Late May to early June is the depletion window. South Korea imports 64.7 percent of its helium from Qatar. Ras Laffan is offline. If helium buffers deplete before alternative supply arrives, semiconductor fabrication faces rationing. The AI hardware supply chain hits a physical wall measured in months, not quarters.
 
The insurance clock. Solvency II requires 30 to 60 days of zero incidents before P&I clubs can reinstate war risk coverage. Even after a ceasefire, the insurance normalisation takes six to sixteen months based on the Red Sea precedent of 26 months and counting. The logistics system lags the financial relief rally by the longest duration of any clock in this crisis.
 
Seven clocks. The shortest expires in twelve days. The longest runs for over a year. The planting window, the USDA report, the FAO index, the drug buffers, the Chinese crude draw, the helium inventory, and the insurance cycle are all counting down simultaneously. None of them pause for diplomacy. None of them respond to presidential directives. None of them read sealed packets.
 
The calendar is the only actor in this war that has never lost a negotiation.

Spot on Gary.

Of course, soybeans and other legume crops have the genetic potential to fix nitrogen in a usable form from the N in air. But fertilizing with nitrogen inhibits fixation. Still, we all  do it, including us on our little alfalfa farm.

We discussed this over dinner with some friends tonight, Dick.

Organic farmers in our area won't be affected much (except for transportation costs, pharnaceutical costs, etc.).  Locally here in Wisconsin, non-organic farmers seem likely to plant more soybeans in coming weeks.  With a resulting surplus next fall in soybeans, their economic returns seem likely to suffer (especially with disruption of their access to export markets).

--------------------

Source US Dept of justice (aka Dept. of Revenge) website

Harmeet K. Dhillon is the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Justice. She was nominated by President Donald Trump in December 2024. She was confirmed by the U.S. Senate on April 3, 2025, and sworn in as AAG by Attorney General Pam Bondi on April 7, 2025.

Wikipedia

She is the former vice chair of the California Republican Party and a former Republican National Committeewoman for California.

She was a legal adviser on the Trump 2020 campaign. While the Trump campaign was making claims of voter fraud during the 2020 election (as the ballots were being counted), Dhillon said the campaign was hoping that the U.S. Supreme Court, including Trump-appointed justices such as Amy Coney Barrett, would help Trump win the presidency.

A fervent supporter of Donald Trump, Dhillon gave a speech at his "Social Media Summit" on July 11, 2019,[47][6] and she was a co-chair of Women for Trump.[4] In early 2017, Dhillon interviewed to be the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights in the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ).[48] She was not nominated for the position in Trump's first term.

From several web searches:

As of March 2026, the U.S. population is estimated to be over 342 million, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The number Bill cited is roughly 600,000 deceased people on US voting rolls. There are about 342 million living in the US and 600,000 is just about 0.18 % of the population.

Now, there are about 173,854,000 registered voters in the US while 600,000 is about 0.35 % of registered voters.

Massive inaccuracies? My college statistics prof. would say no.

Question: How many of the roughly 600,000 “voted"?

Of course none, but how many actually used a dead persons name to vote? How many false, illegial votes were cast from the ~600,000? 

Was there any data on this Bill?  Just curious.  :- )

Good question, Cheryl!

Actually, many things filled all those years.  

But the elapsed time, looking back, does seem sudden.

Of everyone still alive today, fewer than 25% are old enough to have memories of these monumental moments in history: when humanity traveled to and landed on the Moon in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Unsurprisingly, some people — most of them too young to have experienced those moments for themselves — are skeptical that the Moon landings ever happened. Thankfully, in science, we don’t need to be there ourselves to have proof. Here are four different pieces of evidence we can point to that demonstrate the Moon landings actually occurred.

Gary, my neighbor Bill, shown above, assured me that the moon landing did happen and showed me a couple of pictures he took of it. I believe a couple of the pictures are shown on the site you posted.

Thank you, Nova.  Perhaps that had been your neighbor Bill paddleboarding in western Hungary's Lake Balaton on July 21, 2015.  He might find it safer to return there now.
