    I wonder how many Democrats realise President Trump once again set them up to do exactly what he wants.

    Their outrage at his tweet on delaying the November election means they can no longer use the COVID scare as a reason to delay the election. What happens when Biden is finally forced into a candidates’ debate and shows how incompetent he is and the Democrats want a delay to raise up an alternative? http://falfn.com/CrusaderRabbit/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_cool.gif

    A post by Glenn Reynolds at Instapundit on the latest media hysteria about impeaching Trump on the day after his election for his tweet.

    The Constitution places in Congress the power to set the date for choosing electors. (Art. II, Sec. 1, 4th para.). Congress has, by statute, set that date as the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. 3 U.S. Code § 1. Congress can amend that statute at any time (subject to filibuster, veto, override, and all the usual legislative hurdles). [NOTE: Each state can begin the process earlier than that First Tuesday, and many do – allowing early absentee or mail voting to begin quite a bit earlier. More recently, other state-governed election schedules have already been changed and/or litigated due to Covid-19 concerns. I don’t know of anyone who has suggested that those actual or proposed modifications to election schedules are either fascistic or impeachable.]

    The Constitution not only allows, but requires, that the President “shall from time to time . . . recommend to [the Congress’s] Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient.” (Art. II, Sec. 3.)

    Moreover, the President does not, upon taking office, lose his rights under the First Amendment either to “the freedom of speech” or “to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

    Neither performing his Constitutional duty (Art. II, Sec. 3) nor exercising his Constitutional rights (1st Amend.) constitutes “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors” (the sole basis for impeachment). (Art. II, 4.) Nor is either one of those “fascistic,” by any rational definition of that over-used term.

    News you can use!

    In the UK the daily death rate from dementia is currently 4x that from Covid 19!

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-8583371/The-simple-tweaks-prevent-dementia-plus-delicious-recipes-help-beat-it.html

    About 40% of cases can be prevented or delayed by lifestyle changes.

    Known associated factors are -: Obesity, Type 2 Diabetes, Hypertension (the 3 tend to go together), smoking, untreated hearing loss, depression, too little exercise, social isolation, lack of education, traumatic head injury, air pollution and heavy alcohol consumption. (Lancet’s Commission on Dementia).

    A recent Swedish study found that being a healthy weight, keeping blood pressure in check and staying fit and active were three key factors found to significantly improve mental performance. Their recommendations are to eat lots of fruit and vegetables, whole grains, fish and low-fat dairy, while exercise plans involved strength training at a gym plus group exercises to improve aerobic fitness.

    In other studies strength training ie lifting weights, even into your 80’s and 90’s, has been shown to improve mental acuity and balance. Socialisation is another factor that is of utmost importance. http://falfn.com/CrusaderRabbit/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_mail.gif

      I wonder if a study has even been done comparing the cognitive ability of people who reached retirement age and kept working versus those that retired and stopped working? From what I have witnessed, those that stay engaged in challenging work activity fair much better than those that don’t.

        I think it would be quite hard to get equal populations in the two arms of such a study. A lot of people with declining mental capabilities would self select themselves into the retired arm…. and not report their fears. That said there have been studies about keeping mentally active, usually crosswords, etc. but they seem to sway one way or another as to whether it actually does work or not. Socialisation is one factor that keeps on coming up – people who have large groups of friends and interact frequently do well. A lot of retirees go home and sit in front of a TV and don’t seem to know what to do with themselves.
