3 squared is 9. 3x3=9. Sheesh....
Racist!!
Watch - they’re going to retract the 3 Trump balloons story b/c it implicates treasonous acts by Gen. Mattis and other DoD officials and they don’t want Congress exposing DoD’s Pro-China corruption DC_Draino
@DC_Draino
So glad you are available, appreciate your great work.
Close.I don’t know if it’s true.
>>Making room for Hillary et al?????
Given that it’s Biden releasing them, more likely trying to empty Gitmo out and close it down. Forget all those pesky annoyances caused by those poor, demented, already punished, people.
The grammys satan show reminded me of biden making the speech with backround in red. Evil monsters!!
Just a brief de-lurk to thank you for posting that very nice copy of the classic Bloom County cartoon. Between that and Calvin and Hobbes, the 80’s and 90’s were filled with plenty of laughs.
Harvard wants to restrict anesthesia
THIS PARTICULAR STORY NEEDS LEGS AND NEEDS TO WALK.
It isn’t just Harvard.
At the link:
“DR. MOHAMED FAYED, A SENIOR ANESTHETIST AT DETROIT’S HENRY FORD HEALTH, made the suggestion during the American Society of Anesthesiologists’ annual conference last Friday in Orlando, Florida. “Global warming is affecting our daily life more and more, and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions has become crucial,” he said. Dr. Fayed added, “No matter how small each effect is, it will add up. As anesthesiologists, we can contribute significantly to this cause by making little changes in our daily practice — such as lowering the flow of anesthetic gas — without affecting patient care.”
[Climate Depot Note: THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF ANESTHESIOLOGISTS’ WEBSITE APPEARS TO HAVE PULLED THE ARTICLE. But it is available here.]
[LInk to the article is at the above link posted by combat_boots]
Cowards. They are only naming a student waxing eloquent and stupidly about how wonderful it will be for Harvard med to incorporate “climate change” into the curriculum. They do not cite the ones in charge of making the changes. THOSE are the people who need to become famous.
My concern is that even though they are saying that there is no lessening of patient care, do you think that climate religion zealots will see that as the mission or patient care as the mission? I suspect religion in too many cases would win out....and there would be compromise of patient care.
Another piece of info at combat_boot’s link is the factoid that if one uses cannabis to manage pain, and if they are to have surgery, it apparently requires MORE anesthesia to overcome the pain of surgery than if the person was not using cannabis.
Cannabis, as many know, is used by a lot of people with cancer for patient care. If they are to have surgery, do you think the person trained to be stingy with anesthesiology for the climate would take that into account and give appropriate amounts? or just let the poor fart with cancer suffer a little more?
I can praise God that I have not had cancer pain, but I know some who have. ANYONE who would withhold appropriate amounts of anesthesia and perhaps even pain management from such people for dumb reasons such as “climate change” need to have some better education on pain and its implications.
I don’t have time to do a deep dive on Harvard Med, but the ones in charge of the Anesthesia Dept need to become famous if they are truly in favor of this.
Re:Grammies award Satan, and stuff...
No wonder Joe Biden’s RCP Poll numbers are actually UP.
Jill there to endorse the whole affair, in person, fumbled her only line and added nothing to the scenery, while Biden’s stafflings LIONIZE the man all week, and his MANY Accomplishments.
Biden rocks 43 PTS ar RCP.
UNBELIEVABLE.
Russia looks much more like the USA.
USA definitely looks more like the USSR.
Passports up.
I thought maybe General "Thoroughly Modern" Milley may have been in contact with his Chinese Counterpart BFF (ya know, the guy he said he would warn China of any plans for the Bad Orange Man launching nukes) and decide among them to keep Trump in the dark the three other balloons.
Wow, that’s insane. “Climate change” is now the official reason for every kind of evil and tyranny and cruelty they want to force on us. Somehow my intuition says this “no more anesthesia/or not enough” is somehow going to do a mission creep into “maybe we just kill you so you won’t suffer pain any more”.
——Looks suspiciously like Dr Jill’s dress at the award show?
Brazil’s Lula, socialist ally of communist Cuba, set to arrive in Washington
Excerpt:
Lula’s D.C. Visit Could Get Awkward
He’s a utopian socialist, not the democratic champion of Biden’s imagination.
Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio “Lula” da Silva will be a guest at the White House later this week. President Biden proposed the visit on Jan. 9, the day after thousands of vandals stormed federal buildings in Brasília. The incident seemed a weird imitation of the January 2021 riot in Washington, though its more likely precursors are the extreme-left rampages that have become all too common in the region.
The timing of the Biden outreach suggests that the 46th U.S. president isn’t about to let this latest unhappy Latin drama go to waste. A cynic might say that Mr. Biden is worried that the trumpista violence in Washington two years ago is fading from view and a visit from Lula is an opportunity to refresh people’s memories. Lula doesn’t seem to mind being used in this way, perhaps because climate change, a subject which has leaders in the developing world seeing dollar signs, is on the agenda.
The assault in Brasília is still under investigation. But it appears that the perpetrators were mostly supporters of former President Jair Bolsonaro, who ran for re-election in October and lost. They claimed that the election, which put Lula in office for a third (nonconsecutive) term on Jan. 1, was stolen.
The White House says the meeting will reinforce U.S. support for Brazilian democracy. But that’s doubtful. It will be easy to denounce the violence of Jan. 8. It will be much more difficult to confront serious threats to Brazil’s rule of law that start with Lula.
The State Department claims to be worried about corruption in Latin America. But it could be tough to broach that subject with a guest who was convicted in 2017 for bribery and money-laundering. Mr. da Silva’s conviction was vacated by the Supreme Court on a technicality but he was never exonerated. His Workers’ Party and his government were at the center of the findings of the famous Operation Carwash, which unearthed billions in padded contracts, kickbacks and money laundering starting around 2007, when Lula was president.
Another democratic principle at risk in Brazil is free speech. Mr. Biden may have to avoid that topic too. During the presidential campaign last year Mr. da Silva benefited from an electoral tribunal that censored his critics. His new government will use speech police to shut down what it judges to be fake news and misinformation. This is an obvious violation of civil liberties and no way to run a democracy. But it’s also an idea that Mr. Biden tried last year and had to withdraw when it was widely mocked by Americans as a ministry of truth.
Remaining diplomatic is good manners. But Mr. Biden might find it hard to sustain credibility on the democracy front while ignoring Lula’s ideological links to the 800-pound guerrilla in the hemisphere, a radical left that uses violence and drug trafficking to reach political ends.
In the wake of the fall of the Berlin Wall, Lula and his Workers’ Party co-founded the São Paulo Forum, alongside Fidel Castro, to reinvigorate the communist, revolutionary agenda in Latin America. Three decades later the forum’s raison d’être remains the same.
Having successfully reached Brazil’s highest office three times via the ballot box, Lula has distanced himself from support for armed struggle. But his socialist allies have not. Cuba, a corrupt military dictatorship in its 65th year, is the ringleader of antidemocratic violence around the region. Havana operatives and related co-conspirators in the dictatorships of Venezuela, Bolivia and Nicaragua are notorious for their efforts to undermine elected governments. The upheaval in Peru today is an example of the cost of this subversive activity. This hard-left also networks outside the region. The local Workers’ Party in São Paulo is proud of its alliance with anti-Israel Palestinian activists operating in Latin America. These are Lula’s comrades. Are Americans supposed to cheer him as a champion of democracy?
Mr. da Silva won election on a promise to make poor Brazilians better off. But if he cares about making a dent in poverty, he has to care about growth, which he won’t get if he automatically reverses the constructive policies that worked for his predecessor. Mr. Bolsonaro had a recovery going earlier than other developing countries thanks to some deregulation and a partial pension reform that reduced fiscal pressure. Turning those gains back merely for revenge or to show his ideological chops would be a slap in the face of Brazilians. Yet he’s already signaling that reckless spending and an end to privatization will be at the heart of his economic agenda.
Investors are important to Brazil, whether foreign or domestic. But they’re not likely to bet on a country that is making utopian socialism its highest priority. Mr. Biden also might have trouble making that case to Lula.
*********
Article is WSJ globalist publication so mostly blathering globalist nonsense. Interesting due to Lula planned visit this week.
He should ask ChatGPT about rap lyrics that freely use the same word.
He admitted it,don’t have the link.it’s on twitter.
that is scary funny...
