Technological meditation aid, just attend to your breath, it's cheaper, but whatever works I suppose. It will probably help someone to lower their BP while in use, the practice causes a hypometabolic state of lower heartrate, respiration, oxygen uptake and blood pressure. Won't hurt, but won't help much either and is similar to many other such biofeedback gizmos marketed in the past few decades.

For many taking up a practice has the effect of another tier of hypertension medication, but practice must be consistent for this to work through out the day by regulating emotions and even the feelings that drive them.

1. Dems Control Senate Committees, 2. DOJ Using RICO Laws? 3. Trump's Impeachment "Attorneys""

There were so many legal developments today that this video tackles three quick hits:
1. Given that the Democrats finally control all Senate Committees, here is what must be done to move in the direction of accountability and justice.
2. Reuters reports that the Department of Justice is considering using the RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) laws to prosecute the insurrectionists. Who might fall within the scope of a RICO investigation?
3. Trump's impeachment "attorneys" file a brief in connection with his upcoming impeachment trial that is riddled with mistakes, typos and outright incorrect, offensive and outright absurd arguments. Will it matter?

Reminds me of a blonde joke.

A blonde goes to the salon for a haircut and style. She's wearing headphones and the stylist ask her to take them off as they're in the way.

The blonde refuses, so the stylist goes to work doing the best she can.

Half way through the cut, the blonde falls asleep. The stylist removes the headphones to finish the cut.

When she finishes, she is horrified to find the blonde is dead. She calls the police and tells them everything.

Curious, one of the detectives puts on the headphones. It's a recording that says,"Breath in. Breath out. Breath in. Breath out..."

GOP lawmakers fined $5,000 for bypassing House security screenings | TheHill

GOP lawmakers fined $5,000 for bypassing House security screenings

Two GOP lawmakers are now facing $5,000 fines for bypassing metal detectors while entering the House chamber after Democrats voted this week to impose the punitive measure to enforce compliance.

Republican Reps. Louie Gohmert (Texas) and Andrew Clyde (Ga.) were issued fines by the sergeant-at-arms over incidents that occurred Thursday, according to a senior Democratic aide.

The fines are being issued after House Democrats voted on Tuesday night to establish the fines, which are $5,000 for the first offense and $10,000 for the second.

Lawmakers can appeal the fines to the House Ethics Committee. But if the panel upholds the fines, they will be deducted out of lawmakers' paychecks and cannot be paid with campaign or congressional office budget funds.

The offices of Gohmert and Clyde didn't immediately return requests for comment.

The metal detectors were installed outside the House chamber last month, days after the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol by a violent mob of former President Trump's supporters who were trying to stop Congress from certifying President Biden's electoral victory.

But several Republicans immediately pushed back on the metal detectors and berated Capitol Police officers and sergeant-at-arms staff who asked them to comply. Some Republicans speed-walked past the metal detectors or pushed past security staff to enter the chamber without undergoing screenings.

The metal detectors were installed to enforce longstanding rules that expressly prohibit lawmakers from bringing guns into the House and Senate chambers or adjacent areas.

Members of Congress are typically allowed to skip security screenings that others entering the Capitol complex are required to undergo. Lawmakers are still allowed to bypass metal detectors elsewhere in the Capitol complex, aside from the ones now stationed outside entrances to the House chamber.

Under a 1967 Capitol Police Board regulation, members of Congress have limited exemptions from the prohibition on guns in the Capitol complex. Lawmakers can keep guns in their offices or transport them unloaded and securely wrapped.

But last month, Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.) nearly brought a concealed gun onto the House floor before being stopped by Capitol Police while undergoing a screening outside the chamber.

Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) acknowledged in an interview with the Washington Free Beacon published Friday that some lawmakers have been quietly flouting the rule banning guns in the House chamber.

"The fact of the matter is that, historically speaking, a number of members that carried just kind of didn't really acknowledge or follow that rule but they didn't make a show out of it," Roy said. "No one said anything about it, no one asked."

Roy also told the Free Beacon that he is considering taking legal action against the metal detectors and fines.

"It's an outrage. I believe it deprives us of our Second Amendment right to defend ourselves," Roy said.

Harris's office said that the Maryland Republican has faced security threats recently and indicated that he carries a gun for self-defense.

Democrats also voted last month to impose fines on lawmakers who don't comply with rules requiring masks on the House floor during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Lawmakers who don't wear masks on the House floor are subject to a $500 fine on the first offense and $2,500 on the second.

It's fun to laugh at QAnon, but if you accord religious faith the kind of exalted respect we do here in America, you’ve already lost the argument that mass delusion is bad.
