Why do some people blink frequently? – It is possible that the differences in findings for blink rate and mental/visual workload reflect the different types of task. One can easily envisage, for example, a situation where blinks are infrequent owing to maintained concentration when visual (and cognitive) demands are high. However, when the requirements of the task exceed available cognitive resources, the concentration may falter, and blink rate may increase due to mental workload.
Normal blink rate is about 15 to 20 times per minute. I’m getting around 35 blinks from Pelosi in the last 30 seconds.
Look at the virgins in white. I’ll bet that’s just a small sample of what a suicide bomber gets to look forward to in the next life.

Just a bit off topic.
I just finished reading a WASHINGTON POST article from 2014 about national Health insurance (ACA). Our host Gerard VanderLuen was the first commenter.

It was blinking, twitching in the mouth/or chewing/or sucking something, and shuffling through papers, while trying to seem engaged, or silently enraged. There was a great deal of thought as to how to react to each line, each idea, or when to decide to clap or cease clapping in front of millions of viewers. This was high level acting for Nancy and probably extremely stressful, too much to process. The world saw it. Wonder who decided on white. They just looked like the stupid conformists that they are.

rabbit’s right
The eyes are the windows to the soul, the intellect, and blinking is an involuntary reflex based at times on what one is thinking. Frequent blinking is a subconscious attempt to shield from others what that blob at the rear of the ocular glands is thinking. Brains, without a material connection to the conscience, are pretty stupid and are unaware that their subconscious responses are detectable by others.
IOW, that communist’s own eyes blew her cover.
Would it be wrong of me to wish her a horribly painful death, and soon?
Just askin’.

Pelosi’s blinks don’t mean a thing. She’s had so many face lifts they had to install a pacemaker to make her eyes blink, and it was acting up Tuesday night.

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

?
Side effect of ever increasing doses of Botox?
We flatter Pelosi too much by discussing her available intelligence.
I, for one, look forward to the day that she blinketh no more…
we use to have a sheriff who blinked a lot when he was lying. Everybody knew it but him.

Interesting. The vice-principal at my high school did that. One time, I counted – he blinked on every syllable, over 60 times in one minute.
I think the term “Trump Denier” should come into vouge.
