Biden is afraid if he attends, they would mistake him for a corpse & put him in a pine box.
Yes, I forgot about that little gem. Kamal is going to work out well for us.
That’s great!
We really have some incredible inventions and new procedures and research going on. To benefit the entire world. They bash our Healthcare System and yet they will unashamedly steal the byproduct of it.
But I don’t get just the many many people on Facebook Health groups that I have run into that just love their NHS, their free medical, brag about it nonstop. And then in the next sentence complain that their doctors don’t know how to deal with corneal neuropathy, they can’t get the dry eye procedures or medications in their country, etc. Cause and effect is obviously not taught in their schools.
Kamala Harris Laughs At Marijuana Use Despite Putting 1,560 People Away For It
In the 2020 presidential race, the disproportionate imprisonment of African American men has become a major issue, and it’s posing an especially big challenge for Harris, California’s first black U.S. senator. She is counting on strong support from African Americans. But many black voters are wary of her 27 years as a prosecutor enforcing laws that sent African Americans to prison.

Kamala Harris laughed about jailing parents over truancy. But it’s not funny
Harris’s record as a prosecutor has already been criticized heavily. As Lara Bazelon wrote in the New York Times, “when progressives urged her to embrace criminal justice reforms … Ms Harris opposed them or stayed silent,” and she “fought tooth and nail to uphold wrongful convictions that had been secured through official misconduct”.

ESPN investigation finds coaches at NBA China academies complained of player abuse, lack of schooling

LONG BEFORE AN October tweet in support of Hong Kong protesters spotlighted the NBA’s complicated relationship with China, the league faced complaints from its own employees over human rights concerns inside an NBA youth-development program in that country, an ESPN investigation has found.
American coaches at three NBA training academies in China told league officials their Chinese partners were physically abusing young players and failing to provide schooling, even though commissioner Adam Silver had said that education would be central to the program, according to multiple sources with direct knowledge of the complaints.
The NBA ran into myriad problems by opening one of the academies in Xinjiang, a police state in western China where more than a million Uighur Muslims are now held in barbed-wire camps. American coaches were frequently harassed and surveilled in Xinjiang, the sources said. One American coach was detained three times without cause; he and others were unable to obtain housing because of their status as foreigners.
A former league employee compared the atmosphere when he worked in Xinjiang to “World War II Germany.”
In an interview with ESPN about its findings, NBA deputy commissioner and chief operating officer Mark Tatum, who oversees international operations, said the NBA is “reevaluating” and “considering other opportunities” for the academy program, which operates out of sports facilities run by the Chinese government. Last week, the league acknowledged for the first time it had closed the Xinjiang academy, but, when pressed, Tatum declined to say whether human rights were a factor.
“We were somewhat humbled,” Tatum said of the academy project in China. “One of the lessons that we’ve learned here is that we do need to have more direct oversight and the ability to make staffing changes when appropriate.”
In October, Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey’s tweet in support of pro-democracy protesters led the Chinese government to pull the NBA from state television, costing the league hundreds of millions of dollars. The controversy continues to reverberate, as the NBA prepares to resume play this week after a 4 1/2-month hiatus because of the coronavirus pandemic. China Central TV recently said it still won’t air NBA games, and U.S. lawmakers have raised questions about the league’s business ties to China.
The ESPN investigation, which began after Morey’s tweet, sheds new light on the lucrative NBA-China relationship and the costs of doing business with a government that suppresses free expression and is accused of cultural genocide. It illustrates the challenges of operating in a society with markedly different approaches to issues such as discipline, education and security. The reporting is based on interviews with several former NBA employees with direct knowledge of the league’s activities in China, particularly the player-development program.
The program, launched in 2016, is part of the NBA’s strategy to develop local players in a basketball-obsessed market that has made NBA China a $5 billion enterprise. Most of the former employees spoke on the condition of anonymity because they feared damaging their chances for future employment. NBA officials asked current and former employees not to speak with ESPN for this story. In an email to one former coach, a public relations official added: “Please don’t mention that you have been advised by the NBA not to respond.”
That’s why Trump said she would be a “good pick” for Slo Joe.

THREAD: We organized a group of practicing physicians, many of whom have personally treated COVID-19 patients, and we spoke directly to the American people about our experience and understanding of the virus and it’s treatment options
As a result: -Facebook removed the livestream of our conference that had 15 million+ views -Twitter forced us to delete video testimonials from our physicians -Our web host removed our website and claimed a “violation of their TOS” -The media smeared us with lies & falsehoods
Why are social media company employees with no medical degree or clinical experience censoring the perspectives of practicing physicians? Why are journalists claiming hydroxychloroquine is ineffective when there are numerous studies showcasing its efficacy against COVID-19?
Why are state governors restricting physicians from prescribing an FDA approved medication for 65 years and empowering pharmacies to over-rule your doctor? These actions are unprecedented and have never happened before in medicine.

Quite simply put, it is all politics.
Most if not all of the COVID-19 contagion and particularly the US response was a stage in the ongoing program to erase the 2016 election results and remove Donald Trump from office.
This is an attempt to overthrow the government of the United States; your experience and the assault on the practice of medicine is just the latest in a long list of collateral damage.
Agree 100%
