And his family!
Good morning, LG!
We missed you!
Christie started life in NJ as a Democrat.
Why he switched to the GOP was probably in the era of Tom Kean, Sr. amnd Christine Todd Whitman as Governor.
He is bought and paid for by the Deep State.
A week before the 2012 election, with NJ brought to its knees by Superstorm Sandy, he was hugging and making out with Barack Obama when BO came to visit the damage.
Hussein didn’t do a damn thing to help NJ anyway.
Yes, we should be able to drive anywhere without fear.
I don’t even like driving the freeway in the valley.
Too much road rage and shooting down there.
Hubby said he didn’t bring his gun on this fast trip just for that reason.
I said you should have brought it just because of that reason.
Hope your DIL made it OK and back in one piece.
My son is NOT liberal nor is his wife who was born and raised in MA.
I was being sarcastic.
DIL’s whole family is conservative.
She says there are more conservatives in MA than you would think, especially up state like where lysie lives.
It’s just in the big cities that the Demonrats have their strongholds.
Color me wrong, but weren’t doctors and pharmacists refusing ivermectin for covid? People had to order from other countries or buy at feed stores?
FDA Drops Ivermectin Bombshell
Doctors are free to prescribe ivermectin to treat COVID-19, a lawyer representing the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said this week.
“FDA explicitly recognizes that doctors do have the authority to prescribe ivermectin to treat COVID,” Ashley Cheung Honold, a Department of Justice lawyer representing the FDA, said during oral arguments on Aug. 8 in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit.
The government is defending the FDA’s repeated exhortations to people to not take ivermectin for COVID-19, including a post that said “Stop it.”
The case was brought by three doctors who allege the FDA unlawfully interfered with their practice of medicine with the statements.
A federal judge dismissed the case in 2022, prompting an appeal.
“The fundamental issue in this case is straightforward. After the FDA approves the human drug for sale, does it then have the authority to interfere with how that drug is used within the doctor-patient relationship? The answer is no,” Jared Kelson, representing the doctors, told the appeals court.
The FDA on Aug. 21, 2021, wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter:
“You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it.”
The post, which linked to an FDA page that says people shouldn’t use ivermectin to prevent or treat COVID-19, went viral.
Command or Not
“FDA made these statements in response to multiple reports of consumers being hospitalized, after self medicating with ivermectin intended for horses, which is available for purchase over the counter without the need for prescription,” Ms. Honold said.
A version of the drug for animals is available, but ivermectin is approved by the FDA for human use against diseases caused by parasites.
Ms. Honold said that the FDA didn’t purport to require anyone to do anything or to prohibit anyone from doing anything.
“What about when it said, ‘No, stop it’?” Circuit Judge Jennifer Walker Elrod, on the panel that is hearing the appeal, asked.
“Why isn’t that a command? If you were in English class, they would say that was a command.”
Ms. Honold described the statements as “merely quips.”
“Can you answer the question, please? Is that a command, ‘Stop it’?” Judge Elrod asked.
“In some contexts, those words could be construed as a command,” Ms. Honold said.
“But in this context, where FDA was simply using these words in the context of a quippy tweet meant to share its informational article, those statements do not rise to the level of a command.”
The statements “don’t prohibit doctors from prescribing ivermectin to treat COVID or for any other purpose” Ms. Honold said. She noted that the FDA, along with the statements, said that people should consult their health care providers about COVID-19 treatments and that they could take medicine if it was prescribed by the provider.
“FDA is clearly acknowledging that doctors have the authority to prescribe human ivermectin to treat COVID. So they are not interfering with the authority of doctors to prescribe drugs or to practice medicine,” she said.
Judge Elrod is on the panel with Circuit Judges Edith Brown Clement and Don Willett. All three were appointed under President Donald Trump.
Federal Law
The plaintiffs are Drs. Paul Marik, Mary Bowden, and Robert Apter. They say they were professionally harmed by the FDA’s statements, including being terminated over efforts to prescribe ivermectin to patients.
Dr. Marik has noted that a number of studies support using ivermectin against COVID-19, as the FDA itself has acknowledged. Some other studies show little to no effect.
Federal law enables the FDA to provide information, such as reports of adverse reactions to drugs, but not medical advice, Mr. Kelson said.
“This is something the FDA has never been able to do. And it’s a bright line,” he told the court, adding later:
“The clearest examples of where they have gone over the line are when they say things like, ‘You are not a horse, you are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it.’”
Judges indicated they agree that the FDA lacks the power to give medical advice; Judge Clement said, “You’re not authorized to give medical advice.”
But Ms. Honold said the government “isn’t conceding that in this case.”
She also argued that Congress has empowered the FDA to protect public health and make sure regulated products are safe and effective, giving it the “inherent authority to further its mission by communicating information to the public about safe uses of drugs.”
A ruling in favor of the doctors would prevent the FDA from reporting on consumers suffering after cooking chicken with NyQuil or that opioid addiction is a problem, she claimed.
Mr. Kelson said that wasn’t accurate. “It’s when they step beyond that [and] start telling people how they should or should not be using approved drugs,” he said.
Ms. Honold also said that the courts can’t hold agencies accountable when they provide false or misleading information: “The FDA is politically accountable, just like all other executive agencies.”

Agreed, Rusty.
I understand the reporting is likely biased, but some of it must be true. Really, quite the immature position for a couple of middle-aged people, especially two who are ardent Trump supporters and supposedly serious news people.
Ed did appear to have deserved the DUI, and what is a 50 year-old woman who likely was wearing a short, tight mini-dress doing out with a married man who had clearly been drinking too much. Then throwing Trump’s name around and talking to the arresting officer about a corrupt society, etc. Just not a good look. I do put this together with both of their pasts and it makes me wonder.
Forgot to preview post. Not enough sleep!
I know, I asked my son if DIL was packing and he said no. I was surprised, maybe it’s because she was working, but I w/h packed anyway.
Thanks. Sometimes with written communication sarcasm is hard to detect.
So, I’d like to know what the people of Massachusetts like your son think of this outlandishness.
It was reported Ed tested under the legal limit of .08, so don’t know if he would be charged with DUI. But having his tire blow off is reckless. And her attitude probably didn’t help.
I’m just sick about what the Demonrats are doing to Trump.
Heard a clip this morning where Karl Rove was saying that all these indictments are bring down Trump’s electability numbers.
I was screaming “In your dreams you @#%!”
And all this evilness by the Demonrats just makes me want to fight even harder.
I am very tired, never sleep much when away from home and we were going from the time we got to our daughters, besides eating and visiting went to Costco and spent too much, but that is so easy to do.
It was 106° and felt humid for a “dry heat.” LOL
Didn’t cool off much at night either.
The heat just zapped me!
How are you feeling, neck pain acting up?
I wish you could find out why you keep having eye problems but if they have ruled out many things that is helpful, could be related to your neck as you think it might be.
My SIL is in chronic back pain and no doctor can figure out why.
It’s a stabbing pain right above her bra, no vertebra damage shows up in x-rays.
This just posted. Explains Ed, not Karyn.

That explains a bunch, thanks.
I remember those photos of Christie with Obummer and how angry conservatives were with him.
Seems to me from that point on Christy went downhill.
He’s only in this race to stick it to Trump.
Most conservatives see through him, the RINOS are cheering him on.
Thanks for posting, MS.BEHAVIN.
I can look.
So many scumbuckets out there.
Don’t stand next to those Barbie designers in a lightning storm.
You are not wrong, that is exactly what happened.
The FDA is really trying to spin their way out of this one, they totally overreached their authority.
The FDA on Aug. 21, 2021, wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter:
“You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it.”
Sounds like a DEMAND to me.
MA son is a rabid Trump supporter like his mama!😁
He thinks what they are doing to Trump is all crapola, only doing it to hurt his chances and possibly knock him out totally.
He thinks what MA did during COVID was extreme and unusual punishment, had to get the clot shot in order to keep his job, no one else in his family got it.
He told me just the other day that if they ever lock down MA again, he is out of there, will not go through the craziness there ever again!
They have a lot of conservative friends in MA who feel the same way he does.
One of the comments, makes me wonder.....
Cindy Johnson
Seriously, that’s a lie! He didn’t resign. You fired him.
Some family atmosphere eh?
Didn’t take long, after that Daily Mail article.
He was at work this past Monday and then gone the next day.
Please

I’m seeing the government do things I’ve never seen in my 40+ years of broadcasting. People have mailed credible threats to presidents for years. They’ve (rightly) been investigated for it, but I’ve never seen the FBI gun anybody down for it. Ever. This is not normal.

Craig Robertson’s family statement in full
‘We, the family of Craig Deeluew Robertson, are shocked and devastated by the senseless and tragic killing of our beloved father and brother, and we fervently mourn the loss of a good and decent man.
The Craig Robertson we knew was a kind and generous person who was always willing to assist another in need, even when advanced age, limited mobility, and other physical challenges made it more difficult and painful for him to do so.
He often used his expert woodworking skills to craft beautiful and creative items for others, including toys such as sleighs, rocking horses, and bubble gum dispensers for the children of friends and neighbors at Christmas time. He was active in his local church congregation and loved the Lord Jesus Christ with all his heart.
He was a devoted dog lover all his life, and he lavished his animals with love and affection. He was a lover of history and an avid reader of every kind of book. In his younger years, he was a sportsman and hunter.
He was a firearm enthusiast, collector and gunsmith, who staunchly supported the constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms for the purposes of providing food and protection for his family and home.
As a safety inspector in the steel industry, he worked diligently and conscientiously to safeguard the lives and well-being of untold thousands who would use, and benefit from, the numerous industrial and public works projects he was responsible for during the course of a decades-long career.
Craig loved this country with all his heart. He saw it as a God-inspired and God-blessed land of liberty. He was understandably frustrated and distraught by the present and on-going erosions to our constitutionally protected freedoms and the rights of free citizens wrought by what he, and many others in this nation, observed to be a corrupt and overreaching government.
As an elderly–and largely homebound–man, there was very little he could do but exercise his First Amendment right to free speech and voice his protest in what has become the public square of our age–the internet and social media. Though his statements were intemperate at times, he has never, and would never, commit any act of violence against another human being over a political or philosophical disagreement.
As our family processes the grief and pain of our loss, we would have it be known that we hold no personal animosity towards those individuals who took part in the ill-fated events of the morning of August 9, 2023, which resulted in Craig’s death.
We ask that the media and public respect our family members’ privacy and give us the time and space needed to come to terms with the sad tragedy of these events.’

LG~~Bannon and Poso are all over this on WR this morning.
What a bunch of lying weasels… I specifically remember doctors being threatened to lose their license and families having to sue hospitals to get this treatment!!
I thought doctors were having their licenses pulled if they provided ivermectin to patients? Somebody was threatening the doctors, I’m not sure who.
Please pass the ketchup, thanks lysie!
