Outrageous and continuing judicial abuse of both @GenFlynn and @RealDonaldTrump. The President should grant General Flynn an immediate pardon. https://t.co/1CM79bx0Ew— Tom Fitton (@TomFitton) July 30, 2020

You may notice an increase in helicopter activity in and around the Pentagon and the National Capital Region today. This activity is due to a regularly scheduled exercise.
RE: Writing their obituaries...
Sounds like the “death education” class that was foisted upon Jr. High public school students in the early 90s.
Hope this destructive class will not be resurrected.
This is very sad news. Herman Cain was one of the best.
It looks like they are still kidnapping his gun.
Excellent talk with Charlie Kirk. I highly recommend. Start around the 22:00 minute mark.
Ohio pharmacy board reverses ban on hydroxychloroquine as a coronavirus treatment after DeWine’s request
The State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy has changed course on its ban of hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine as coronavirus treatments following the governor’s urging to do so.
Beginning Thursday, pharmacies, clinics and other medical institutions were to be prohibited from dispensing or selling the drugs to treat COVID-19, according to regulations issued by the State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy. They could still be used in clinical trials, said Cameron McNamee, director of policy and communications for the board.
That regulation change has since been pulled back by the board though. Instead, the board now plans to re-examine the issue with the assistance of the State Medical Board of Ohio, clinical experts, and other stakeholders to determine its next steps, according to an announcement.
The board’s shift came after Gov. Mike DeWine asked the state pharmacy board on Thursday morning to rescind its plan to ban hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine as treatments for the virus.
DeWine said the decision of how to treat COVID-19 should instead be between patients and their doctors.
“The Board of Pharmacy and the State Medical Board of Ohio should revisit the issue, listen to the best medical science, and open the process up for comment and testimony from experts,” DeWine said in a prepared statement.
Hydroxychloroquine has been touted by President Donald Trump despite medical studies showing the drug to be ineffective at treating the disease. The drug may also cause serious cardiac side effects, according to the Food and Drug Administration.
This isn’t the first time the state pharmacy board has stepped in to regulate the use of the drug during the pandemic.
In March, the Ohio Board of Pharmacy cracked down on doctors who were hoarding hydroxychloroquine for themselves, family and friends in case it was needed. At that time, the board implemented restrictions that said the drug could be prescribed only for those who had tested positive for COVID-19.
Hydroxychloroquine is typically used to treat malaria, a mosquito-borne illness that causes fever, chills and influenza-like symptoms, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The drug is also used to treat conditions that cause inflammation, such as lupus and forms of arthritis.
In the early days of the pandemic, the Ohio Department of Health stockpiled the drug in case it turned out to be a good treatment.
The state purchased more than 2 million hydroxychloroquine pills for $602,629 on April 9, Melanie Amato, spokeswoman for the Ohio Department of Health, said via email in June. On April 20, Capital Wholesale Drug in Columbus donated 2 million hydroxychloroquine pills — worth about $680,000 — from drug maker Prasco, which is based in Mason, Ohio.
The amount of pills stockpiled by the state is equivalent to nearly two years’ worth of prescriptions that the state typically would use for its managed-care programs, according to data provided by the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
“The company that donated the 2 million pills is taking them back,” Amato said via email Wednesday. “The ones we purchased we are still looking at options at donating them to foundations that can use them to treat lupus and malaria.”

Gohmert says he’ll take hydroxychloroquine to treat his coronavirus infection
‘My doctor and I are all in’ - Texas GOP Rep. Louie Gohmert

Rep. Louie Gohmert says he’ll take hydroxychloroquine to treat his coronavirus infection for which he tested positive Wednesday.
“My doctor and I are all in,” the Texas Republican told Fox News host Sean Hannity hours after his diagnosis.
The drug, which has for years been approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat Malaria and other diseases, received emergency agency approval early in the pandemic to treat virus patients.
The drug has proven effective in some cases. President Trump says he takes hydroxychloroquine as part of a preventive regiment, but the drug has also been criticized as ineffective.
Gohmert told Hannity that he received a text Wednesday evening, just before appearing on his show, from a doctor friend saying he had the drug and was using it as part of a virus drug regime.
“So zinc, erythromycin, and hydroxychloroquine,” Gohmert said, “and that will start just in the next day or two.”
