In the deeply Democratic Silicon Valley, there are some defectors. They're setting their sights — and their money — on Trump in the 2024 election.

Some Silicon Valley investors are vocally backing Trump due to concerns about how the government is regulating cryptocurrency, its policies on AI and the threat of an increase in capital gains taxes.

The CIA from the very first days of the Trump administration, even before he was inaugurated, devoted themselves to sabotaging the administration because Donald Trump questioned just a few of their pieties. And that can't be done in Washington. Whoever does that must be destroyed. And so the CIA and the Deep State operatives became heroes of the liberal left, the people who support the Democratic party. They're now in a full union with the neocons, the Bush Cheney operatives, the CIA, Silicon Valley, and Wall Street. That is the union of power along with mainstream media outlets that are fully behind the Democratic party, which is likely to at least take over one branch of government, if not all of them, with the coming election, and that is a very alarming proposition because they're authoritarian, they believe in censorship, and they believe in suppression of information that exposes them in any kind of a critical light.

The 10q11.22 chromosomal region is a duplication-rich interval of the human genome and one of the last to be fully assembled. It carries copy number–variable genes associated with intellectual disability, bipolar disorder, and obesity. In this study, we characterized the structural diversity at this locus by analyzing 64 haploid assemblies produced by the Human Pangenome Reference Consortium. We identified 11 alternative haplotypes that differ in the copy number and/or orientation of large genomic segments, ranging from hundreds of kilobase pairs (kbp) to over one megabase pair (Mbp). We uncovered a 2.4 Mbp size difference between the shortest and longest haplotypes. Breakpoint analysis revealed that genomic instability results from nonallelic homologous recombination between segmental duplication (SD) pairs with varying similarity (94.4%–99.6%). Nonetheless, these pairs generally recombine at positions where their identity is higher (>99.6%). Recurrent inversions occur with different breakpoints within the same inverted SD pair. Inversion polymorphisms shuffle the entire SD arrangement, creating new predispositions to copy-number variations. The SD architecture is associated with a catarrhine-specific subgroup of the AGAP gene family, which likely triggered the accumulation of SDs at this locus over the past 25 million years of human evolution. Our results reveal extensive structural diversity and genomic instability at the 10q11.22 locus, and expand the general understanding of the mutational mechanisms behind SD-mediated rearrangements.
