    IllinoisLady, a good Palmer article saying Biden has the backbone to call out the antivaxxers and demand they get with the program. Even tho he doesn't mention it and the press doesn't report on it, to know Biden is to know before he went public with his latest speech on the vaccine, he already met with and discussed the situation with his top educated, experienced, trusted advisors in the field, and together they arrived at the next best steps to take to get Covid under control. We know former orange blowhard never did such a thing. I shudder to think where we'd be if Biden were not elected.

    About the meme I posted, that's actually child actor Haley Joel Osmet in 1999 who was in the movie “The Sixth Sense." His troubled character whispers the famous line, “I see dead people." So someone created this meme by superimposing his photo over protesting antivaxxers………

    Yes, and I am speaking from the vantage point of Great-grandmother so I am more resentful on that side of things.

    It does have a certain ring to it.

Buttigieg patiently explained that the meeting was called to announce "tailpipe emissions standards" and that electric cars don't have tailpipes'

    Good memes, Jackie. Heather Scott Richardson made similar remarks last week about Republicans wanting Biden's plan to fail and terrified it will succeed:

    Biden's new approach to the pandemic is, as Josh Marshall of Talking Points Memo points out, good politics as well as good for public health. About 65% of the voting age population is already vaccinated, and older people are both more likely to be vaccinated and more likely to vote. With most Americans vaccinated and increasingly frustrated with those who refuse, there is little political risk to requiring vaccines, while Republicans standing in the way of public health measures are increasingly unpopular. Florida, where deaths from coronavirus soared to more than 300 a day in late August, has begun to limit the information about deaths it releases.

    If Biden's new vaccine requirements slow or halt the spread of the coronavirus, the economic recovery that had been taking off before the Delta variant hit will resume its speed, strengthening his popularity. Those Republican lawmakers furious at the new vaccine requirements are possibly less worried that they won't work than that they will. September 9, 2021 (Thursday)

    So, the Trump zombies march on. How incredible and nothing like what I would have expected even with the orange loony having charge of 4 yrs. of all of our lives. I presumed that many of the Reps. that were actually a part of our working government would not debase themselves so badly. Boy, was I ever wrong. I continue to think if they are going to hang onto El Cheeto, they will go over the cliff with him. He loses more for them daily.

    Y'know, when I was a little kid watching those March of Dimes, St. Jude Hospital and childhood-leukemia telethons, I used to daydream that someday in the not-too-distant future someone would discover that something cheap and harmless like tomato or orange juice would be the cure for cancer. Know what happened? I GREW UP.

    The OTC and cheap off-label-use drug-repurposer COVIDiots touting ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, Pepcid, and now Betadine remind me of that little kid--only not innocent. Overnight, the QANut woman who hung banners over highway overpasses, refused to wear a mask or get vaccinated, and upon being hospitalized demanded ivermectin and had her followers harass the hospital (even making death threats), died in the ICU of COVID.

    And stories are pouring in about heart, stroke & trauma patients unable to find an ICU bed in their own states dying because their loco-regional hospitals' ICUs are all occupied by COVID patients--99% of whom are unvaccinated.

    Betadine was once used for treating wounds, etc but fell out of favor when it was discovered to inhibit action of WBC's in the healing process. I cannot remember the last time I used Betadine in the hospital setting but you should be able to tell the users when it stains their teeth and tongues. Hated when I got it on my lab coat because it was a permanent stain resistant even to bleach. If you are iodine sensitive, it is even worse and could cause death. Tired of these "fake" cures when the true cure could be as simple as getting the Covid vaccine. I am so glad I retired from being on the front line in nursing, not because I need to be appreciated but because they have to make too many sacrifices to keep their patients from self-destructing and it is not fair to those patients who do follow the rules and are denied access to necessary care. As Forest Gump said, "stupid is as stupid does".

    My friend's son is a PT at a big hospital in Minneapolis (in the highly vaccinated state of Minnesota). He told her that the hospital is on Code Black....the worst level, and where it has never been before. He is having to see his patients in the hallway. The same friends niece needed emergency gallbladder surgery. Because of the patient overload, they couldn't do the surgery until the next morning. They didn't dare to send her home, so she has to in a bed a hallway overnight. Even if you don't get Covid, if anything else goes wrong or you have an accident, your health care will be compromised.

    Now I understand why poorly informed people are using Betadine. This article appeared in Anesthesiology News in 2020:

    Povidone-Iodine as a Preprocedural Nasal and Mouthrinse Prophylaxis for COVID-19

    They see something untested for the general population and decide to take those rather than treatments approved for human populations. There is no treatment for stupid.

    So, instead of Betadine being used IN douches, it's being used BY douches.

    I never cared for the smell of Betadine. Just yuck.


    Here's some gossipy news and to me, it truly is 100% believable because it's what Melania appeared to be to me:


    The hotly anticipated book, I'll Take Your Questions Now: What I Saw in the Trump White House, by former Trump White House press secretary and Melania Trump's ex-spokesperson, Stephanie Grisham, is causing major waves now that excerpts from the memoir are making rounds. It gives readers insight into what Melania was thinking on Jan. 6, the day of the insurrection on Capitol Hill.

    Grishman recounts how…communication between her and Melania quickly dissolved as protestors breached the security barricades and stormed the Capitol.


    According to the excerpt, via Politico, she texted the first lady, "Do you want to tweet that peaceful protests are the right of every American, but there is no place for lawlessness and violence?"

    "No," Melania wrote back, according to Grisham.


    The first lady was too busy to be bothered with the violence unfolding just down the street in Washington, D.C. because "she was at the White House preparing for a photo shoot of a rug she had selected."

    Grisham resigned from her position hours after that text message.


    That indifference was a continuous theme from Melania as Grisham says she tried to initiate talks about the transition and setting up inauguration tea that has been a tradition since 1952 when the first ladies of the incoming and outgoing administrations meet for a tour of the White House. But the author claims that Melania and Donald believed the election results were fraudulent and no meeting with Dr. Jill Biden ever occurred.

    Whereas Grisham used to defend Melania from accusations of being like Marie Antoinette, Politico wrote that she now sees her as "the doomed French queen. Dismissive. Defeated. Detached."
