Good morning, lysie!
Sausage is a welcome change and the omelet looks yummy, thanks.
Praying for the court to grant your SIL and DD custody of his children, innocent children who deserve a loving and stable home, in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, Amen.
Good morning, Gran. You are welcome. Prayers are greatly appreciated.
I can't answer that.
I will be going with my daughter that will make the arrangements to get it done, all she told me was to be sure and have my insurance cards.
Maybe you could ask your doctor.
Backing down on requiring vax, that is good news.
Companies are “cutting off their nose to spite their face” as the saying goes, can’t fill positions now and fire the ones they have for no vax.
Can we all shout STUPID?
I’m thinking McTurtle is CCP compromised just like Bye-done.
Of course, he won’t do the RIGHT thing and call for Impeachment of Bye-done.
I hope Trump announces SOON.
This nation needs some GOOD news to focus on after the H3LL of a last 8 months.
McConnell is the leader of the complicit party and demonstrates how almost all Republicans in Congress are not on the side of ordinary American citizens. Even so, he can do nothing about impeachment. It can only happen in the house of representatives which, as we have seen, operates as a pure democracy. A majority of one vote can do anything it wants. After the house of representatives votes to impeach, then it is up to the Senate to either convict or not convict.
Why all the fuss about Ivermectin?
By Brian C. Joondeph
September 3, 2021First hydroxychloroquine, now ivermectin, is the hated deadly drug de jour, castigated by the medical establishment and regulatory authorities. Both drugs have been around for a long time as FDA-approved prescription medications. Yet now we are told they are as deadly as arsenic.
As a physician, I am certainly aware of ivermectin but don’t recall ever writing a prescription for it in my 30+ years’ medical career. Ivermectin is an anthelmintic, meaning it cures parasitic infections. In my world of ophthalmology, it is used on occasion for rare parasitic or worm infections in the eye.
Ivermectin was FDA approved in 1998 under brand name Stromectol, produced by pharmaceutical giant Merck, approved for several parasitic infections. The product label described it having a “unique mode of action,” which “leads to an increase in the permeability of the cell membrane to chloride ions.” This suggests that ivermectin acts as an ionophore, making cell membranes permeable to ions that enter the cell for therapeutic effect.
Ivermectin is one of several ionophores, others including hydroxychloroquine, quercetin, and resveratrol, the latter two available over the counter. These ionophores simply open a cellular door, allowing zinc to enter the cell, where it then interferes with viral replication, providing potential therapeutic benefit in viral and other infections.
This scientific paper reviews and references other studies demonstrating antibacterial, antiviral, and anticancer properties of ivermectin. This explains the interest in this drug as having potential use in treating COVID.
Does ivermectin work in COVID? I am not attempting to answer that question, instead looking at readily available information because this drug has been the focus of much recent media attention. For the benefit of any reader eager to report this article and author to the medical licensing boards for pushing misleading information, I am not offering medical advice or prescribing anything. Rather, I am only offering commentary on this newsworthy and controversial drug.
What’s newsworthy about ivermectin? A simple Google search of most medications describes uses and side effects. A similar search of ivermectin provides headlines of why it shouldn’t be taken and how dangerous it is.
The Guardian describes ivermectin as horse medicine reminding readers considering taking the drug, “You are not a horse. You are not a cow”, saying it’s a medicine meant for farm animals. The FDA echoed that sentiment in a recent tweet, adding “Seriously, y’all. Stop it”, their word choice making it obvious who the tweet was directed to.
Perhaps the FDA didn’t realize that Barack and Michelle Obama often used the term “y’all” and that some might construe the FDA tweet as racist.
The FDA says ivermectin “can be dangerous and even lethal,” yet they approved it in 1998 and have not pulled it from the market despite it being “dangerous and lethal.” Any medication can be “dangerous and lethal” if misused. People have even overdosed on water.
It is true that ivermectin is also used in animals, as are many drugs approved for human use. This is a list of veterinary drugs with many familiar names of antibiotics, antihypertensives, and anesthetics commonly used by humans. Since these drugs are used in farm animals, should humans stop taking them? That seems a rather unscientific argument against ivermectin, especially coming from the FDA.
And healthcare professionals are not recommending or prescribing animal versions of ivermectin as there is an FDA approved human formulation.
Does ivermectin work against COVID? That is the bigger question and worthy of investigation, rather than reminding people that they are not cows.

I know all that.
My point was is he can use his voice and CALL for Impeachment just like Chuckie Schmucky did.
He won’t even entertain the idea, why?
If the latest egregious things of botching the withdrawal of Afghanistan, lying and leaving Americans STRANDED, telling the Afghan Pres. to lie for him and that support will be withheld if he doesn’t lie, are not Impeachable offenses what is?
I know we don’t control Congress and an Impeachment would not likely pass but it is the principle, not doing it makes the pubbies look so weak, heck they are WEAK.
Ironically, for all their fear mongering about ivermectin, the CDC recommends giving ivermectin to refugees for parasites:
“All Middle Eastern, Asian, North African, Latin American, and Caribbean refugees should receive presumptive therapy with:
Albendazole, single dose of 400 mg (200 mg for children 12-23 months)
AND
Ivermectin, two doses 200 mcg/Kg orally once a day for 2 days before departure to the United States.
All African refugees who did not originate from or reside in countries where Loa loa infection is endemic (Box 1) should receive presumptive therapy with:
Albendazole, single dose of 400 mg (200 mg for children 12-23 months)
AND
Ivermectin, two doses 200 mcg/Kg orally once a day for 2 days
AND
Praziquantel, 40 mg/kg, which may be divided in two doses before refugees depart for the United States.”

I don't know if those are all the same, but I had one of those tests about a month ago and it wasn't bad. It was more like a little wand with absorbent material on the tip; you stick it up in the nose just as far as you can put your finger, jiggle it around for 15 seconds, then do the other side the same way.
Mine looked like the one on the far left. It was the rapid test; not sure if that made a difference. None of this tilting your head back so they could ram it back in your nose. In fact, I administered the test myself at the pharmacy drive-thru window at Walgreens!
It's a tickling sensation like when you get pepper up your nose and it makes you sneeze. It makes your nose run so they can get the sample on the wand.

Apparently Jim Jordan's spokesperson has claimed he did not tell me tonight that Trump is imminently announcing his run for 2024. We can't both be right. See for yourself, video coming tomorrow... stay tuned 🤠
Prayers up Lysie.
I don’t know if this was mentioned last week (article says the story came out last week) but found this story from yesterday when I searched for Ivermectin pills. I didn’t go digging for a better source, either.
Inmates Weren’t Told They Were Given An Anti-Parasite Drug Instead Of COVID-19 Meds
Several inmates at a northwest Arkansas jail said they weren’t told a medication they were given to treat COVID-19 was actually an anti-parasite drug that federal health officials have warned should not be used to treat the coronavirus.
Three inmates at the Washington County jail told The Associated Press they didn’t know they were being given ivermectin until its use at the facility was revealed last week. The American Civil Liberties Union of Arkansas, which on Wednesday repeated its call for the practice to end, said it’s also heard similar complaints from inmates.
The inmates’ comments contradict assertions by the sheriff and the jail’s physician that the use of the drug was voluntary. The drug’s use at the jail has prompted an investigation by the state Medical Board.
“They were pretty much testing us in here is all they were doing, seeing if it would work,” said William Evans, an inmate who said he was given the drug for two weeks after he tested positive for COVID-19.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved ivermectin for use by people and animals for some parasitic worms and for head lice and skin conditions. The FDA has not approved its use in treating or preventing COVID-19 in humans.
The drug’s manufacturer, Merck, said in February that it had found no evidence that ivermectin is an effective treatment for patients with COVID-19.
The American Medical Association, the American Pharmacists Association and the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists on Wednesday called for an immediate end to prescribing and using the drug to treat the coronavirus outside clinical trials.
Washington County Sheriff Tim Helder, a spokesperson for his office and jail physician Dr. Rob Karas did not respond to calls or emails on Wednesday. Karas last week released a lengthy statement defending the use of ivermectin, saying he had been prescribing the drug to inmates and patients at his clinics since late last year.
Edrick Floreal-Wooten, an inmate, said he was given ivermectin at the jail after he tested positive on Aug. 21.
“I asked what are they, and they’d just tell me vitamins,” Floreal-Wooten said. “With me being sick and all of us being sick, we thought that they were there to help us. I never thought they would do something shady.”

Good morning, lysie!
Thanks for this great breakfast!
A prayer for your daughter and SIL for today’s hearing.
Family Court is always unpredictable.
Thanks!
I think we make a run for Post 1,000 today.

The CDC now estimates that 83% of the American public is protected from COVID-19, whether through vaccination or natural immunity.
The pandemic is basically over.
He said as long as the democrats have the majority in both Houses they wouldn’t vote for it.
