Nothing you posted changes medical consensus. It's like taking the few "studies" that claim vaccines cause autism and using that to craft policy or form an opinion.

Suppressed medical consensus? Really?

U.S. Study on Puberty Blockers Goes Unpublished Because of Politics, Doctor Says

The leader of the long-running study said that the drugs did not improve mental health in children with gender distress and that the finding might be weaponized by opponents of the care.

Let's run back the tape.

Ms. Harris has presented herself as new based largely on her biography. But as far as policies and coalition go, she represents more of the same, and not merely of the last four years. Her candidacy is best understood as an attempt to continue the progressive political wave that began in 2006 with the GOP defeat in Congress and rolled ashore as a tsunami amid the financial panic of 2008. She is running for what essentially would be Barack Obama’s fourth progressive term.

On domestic policy, she is offering more Bidenomics without the label. She wants to expand the entitlement state beyond even what Mr. Biden has—for elder and child care, housing, a larger Affordable Care Act, and more. Her proposed tax increases are nearly as extensive as Mr. Biden’s, running past $4 trillion over 10 years. She shows every sign of wanting to expand and accelerate the climate corporate welfare and mandates that distort investment at enormous taxpayer cost but no benefit to global temperatures.

The Rupert Murdoch owned newspaper did not endorse Harris per se, but Stevie Wonder could read between the lines. I hope they enjoy what they endorsed

Elon Musk’s team has gotten access to the Treasury Department’s payments system.

What could go wrong??

That's a potential lynch pin right there; if they stop Treasury payments on things like social security, SHTF expeditiously.

Is Trump signaling possible CIA covert operations against drug cartels?

THERE WERE REPORTS LATE on Monday that United States President Donald Trump was considering authorizing covert operations by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) against drug cartels.

Why are leftists and other anti-capitalists so upset at Trump imploding the economy? Why even have an opinion on it at all?

I think the US is one of the few countries in the world where it's citizens haven't revolted against the government; if things like this keep happening, it's probably going to happen.
