The Genetics Of Coffee
The genetics of coffee is a fascinating and complex field that explores the hereditary and molecular characteristics of coffee plants. Two main species dominate the commercial coffee industry: Coffea arabica (Arabica) and Coffea canephora (Robusta). Here's an overview of the key aspects of coffee genetics:

1. Species and Varieties
Coffea arabica (Arabica):

Genetic Makeup: Arabica coffee is a tetraploid (possesses four sets of chromosomes) with 44 chromosomes. It is a result of a cross between two diploid species, Coffea eugenioides and Coffea canephora.
Varieties: Arabica coffee has numerous varieties such as Bourbon, Typica, Geisha, SL28, and SL34, each with unique genetic traits influencing flavor, yield, and disease resistance.
Coffea canephora (Robusta):

Genetic Makeup: Robusta coffee is a diploid species with 22 chromosomes.
Varieties: Robusta varieties are generally more resistant to pests and diseases compared to Arabica but are often considered less flavorful. Key varieties include Kouillou and Congensis.
2. Genomic Studies
Arabica Genome: Sequencing the genome of Arabica has been challenging due to its tetraploid nature. However, recent advances have made it possible to identify genes associated with disease resistance, caffeine production, and quality traits.
Robusta Genome: The genome of Robusta has been sequenced, providing insights into genes related to stress resistance, yield, and biochemical pathways involved in flavor and aroma.
3. Breeding and Hybridization
Traditional Breeding: Involves selecting plants with desirable traits and cross-breeding them to produce improved varieties. This process is time-consuming and requires several generations to achieve stable traits.
Hybrid Varieties: New hybrids such as Arabusta (a cross between Arabica and Robusta) combine the favorable traits of both species, such as improved disease resistance from Robusta and better flavor profiles from Arabica.
Marker-Assisted Selection (MAS): Uses molecular markers linked to desirable traits to accelerate the breeding process by selecting plants with the desired genes at an early stage.
4. Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology
CRISPR/Cas9: This gene-editing technology holds potential for precise modifications in the coffee genome, such as enhancing disease resistance, improving flavor, and increasing yield.
Transgenic Approaches: Though controversial and subject to regulatory approval, transgenic techniques can introduce new genes into coffee plants to confer desirable traits, such as pest resistance or improved environmental adaptability.
5. Challenges and Future Directions
Climate Change: Rising temperatures and changing rainfall patterns threaten coffee production. Genetic research aims to develop varieties that are more resilient to these changes.
Disease Resistance: Diseases like coffee leaf rust (Hemileia vastatrix) and coffee berry disease (Colletotrichum kahawae) are major threats. Identifying and incorporating resistant genes into new varieties is a priority.
Flavor and Quality: Genetics plays a crucial role in determining the flavor profile of coffee. Research focuses on understanding the genetic basis of flavor compounds and breeding varieties with superior taste.
Conclusion
The genetics of coffee is a rapidly evolving field that combines traditional breeding methods with modern genomic and biotechnological approaches. Advances in this area promise to enhance coffee quality, yield, and sustainability, ensuring the future of one of the world's most beloved beverages.

The only guaranteed way to change this course, supporters argue, is by electing Donald Trump in November.

Insane vs Sane – Demonic vs Divine – Catherine Austin Fitts, Greg Hunter
https://rumble.com/v4ru448-insane-vs-sane-demonic-vs-devine-catherine-austin-fitts.html

Catherine Austin Fitts (CAF), Publisher of The Solari Report, financial expert and former Assistant Secretary of Housing (Bush 41 Admin.), has long said, “The federal government is being run as a criminal enterprise. . . .not just a little criminal, but a lot criminal.” Now, CAF contends what is going on in America is much more than greedy criminals. CAF says, “This has turned into warfare against “We the People” on a spiritual level.”

CAF goes on to point out, “There is so much effort in persuading people to think there is nothing you can do, and it’s hopeless. Let me tell you something . . . the central bankers are telling you what they are going to do, and this is not far away in the future. You have all these merchant codes where you cannot use your credit card to buy a gun or the bank throws you out. That’s the control grid getting built.”

What can you do to fight for freedom? CAF says, “Bring transparency, and the second thing is to use cash. If we can all use cash, build cash back up and keep checks going, if you have cash and checks, they cannot go to an all-digital financial system. Find out who is leading the way in your state, and see what you can do to support them. Above anything, you can pray because this is a spiritual war. The devil wants you to believe it’s hopeless and there is nothing you can do. . . . It’s not true. The sane cannot go along with the insane. The divine cannot go along with the demonic. You have to say NO! I am seeing this all over the country. I am seeing Treasurers and State Attorney Generals, and they are all pushing back because they realize this is insane. You cannot go along with this.”

CAF says not only do the Deep State globalists want control of the financial system, but they also want control of your food. CAF says, “You see at this level when you are trying to protect freedom, they cannot get financial control unless they can control the food supply. People can always start their own currencies as long as they can grow food. If you look at the push for financial control and central bank digital currency, it is the same push. They are pushing to control the food supply.”

CAF thinks Washington is so broken, corrupt and criminal that whoever wins the Presidential Election it will not make much of a difference. CAF points out, “Look at how quickly Speaker Mike Johnson caved. Speaker Johnson caved for Ukraine and war all over the world, but he won’t protect our borders. Mike Johnson, Christian, conservative and not a dime to protect our borders. . . Washington is a criminal enterprise, and there is no electing someone big enough to change this. This is not Trump vs Biden. This is the pro-centralization team in Washington. We have to pull power back from Washington.”

Donald Trump ensures total control of the Republican Party
The resignation of the party president will allow the former president to appoint someone of his trust to the position.

After securing victory in the South Carolina primaries and inching closer to clinching the Republican nomination for the White House, Donald Trump has checked off a crucial item from his to-do list: regaining full control of the Republican Party. The chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC), announced her decision to step down next week, paving the way for Trump to appoint a trusted ally to the position. This strategic move comes in an election year when Trump needs unwavering support from all levels of the party, particularly for fundraising efforts.

In her statement, The chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC), expressed her intention to honor the tradition of change within the RNC once a nominee is selected. She emphasized her commitment to winning back the White House and electing Republicans in the upcoming elections. This decision follows Trump’s resounding victory in South Carolina, where he defeated Haley, his sole remaining rival among the 14 initial contenders. Despite Haley’s South Carolina roots and previous tenure as the state’s governor, Trump secured a commanding 20-point lead

Additionally, Americans for Prosperity Action, an organization backed by a famus billionaire , announced that it will cease supporting Haley after her defeat in her home state. Koch, a powerful figure in American conservatism, had previously made headlines for supporting Haley. However, her loss prompted a shift in their backing, further bolstering Trump’s position.

As Trump continues to exert influence over the GOP, he solidifies his grip on the party through a mix of demagoguery, policy expediency, and anti-liberal sentiment. His control surpasses that of most past presidents, even as he challenges traditional free-market orthodoxy, If chosen as the Republican nominee, Trump will face off against incumbent President Joe Biden in a rematch of the 2020 election.

In this high-stakes political landscape, Trump’s maneuvers underscore his pursuit of complete and total control, leaving little room for dissent within the party. The battle for dominance continues, with the fate of the Republican Party hanging in the balance.

Nevada has both an election and a caucus. The Nevada presidential candidate is selected at the caucus. The election is just for show and nothing more.
Preliminary results from a state-organized Nevada primary election show that, with two-thirds of the ballots tabulated, US presidential candidate Nikki Haley has the backing of slightly more than 30% of Republican voters who are registered voters.

More than 60% of voters selected the "none of these candidates" option as front-runner Donald Trump was not included on the ballot. Even though “none of these candidates” won with a majority of votes, Haley was proclaimed the winner in compliance with state law. On Thursday night, the GOP will separately have a party caucus, where all 26 state delegates are anticipated to support Trump. The Republican leadership said it would stick with the caucus system for selecting nominees and rejected Nevada's 2021 plan to have primary elections for both parties.
Though mostly symbolic, Nevadans' rejection of Haley's candidacy proved to be the most recent setback for the former governor of South Carolina. It was the first time a US presidential contender has ever lost to an unlisted opponent, and it was her third straight defeat in an early-state primary. Haley had placed second in New Hampshire and third in Iowa before. against February 24, she will take against Trump in her own state.
