    I believe there has been developments made that have greatly reduced the effects of electromagnetic interference with pacemakers. Still it is still not 100% known. Electromagnetic radiation is wave radiation ( not particles) so I would think that low levels of electromagnetic radiation is most likely not harmful. Remember that we have been bombarded with electromagnetic radiation since the development of alternating current transmission and since Marconi started propagating RF radiation. We have WIFI , smart phones, smart refrigerators, smart cars, smart instant cookers, and all sorts of electromagnetic radiation all around us. Still most pacemakers are working fine.

    News outlets often say that a certain story has not been confirmed. That is a positive light on their credibility. If a story is negative against a non Trump fan Fox would let it ride. Yes indeed.

    One that doesn't call hearsay "news".

    "citing conversations with sources who heard Trump's comments"

    Just more crapola from the left wing attack machine. Trump has over 50% approval on the economy. Voters vote according to their personal situations...........see you in 2024.

    So, Obama's "you can keep your doctor" and "the average household will save $2,500 a year" are just broken promises, but Trump's "mexico will pay for the wall" is a lie and not just a broken promise?

    If Trump is the lowest IQ and most-ill-informed President in our lifetime, that does not say much for the people that ran against him that could not even beat the "lowest IQ and most-ill-informed President in our lifetime".

    Another bit of fake news. Trump did not say that windmills cause cancer. He said he had heard they causes cancer. Though they do not necessarily cause cancer, there are other documented health risks involving wind generating farms:

    There is a major difference between having a credible story that hasn't been conformed and then having a story that has unnamed, unidentified anonymous sources, and full of hearsay

    Are those risks higher or lower than the health risks associated with living near a coal fired power station?

    Look....it's a squirrel.

    I have no idea, nor do I care (for this discussion). We were not discussing coal fired power stations. We were talking about the mis-quote of what Trump actually said and I provided evidence that there are actual health risks to wind turbine farms. Whether there are risks from coal fired power stations has absolutely no bearing on what was being discussed.

    If the news outlet says that the story has not been confirmed they are being honest. If a news media claims that a story was confirmed and we find out later then they need to be in deep crapadoola.

    Would you believe an official document?

    Trump keeps complaining that he never suggested destroying hurricanes with bombs, but there's reportedly a White House memo that proves he said it

    According to Axios, however, Trump's suggestion that bombs should be used to halt hurricanes was recorded in a memo by National Security Council officials.

    No you weren't. You were displaying your expertise at deflection and "whataboutism'.....something you do in almost every single thread you enter.

    Reportedly it says Trump has a flying unicorn in the basement of the White House too.

    And now the other shoe drops. Apparently Trump created this story to find out the leaker on his staff. Today the leaker got the ax. Trump may not be sharpest knife drawer but he is clearly sharper than his opponents, he can't stop kicking their asses.
