I’m with you. Can’t feel sympathy or support for someone who deliberately and repeatedly lies to us and works only to destroy “crackers” and our Republic.
This was a set up. He goes to the hospital at the same time the poll closed in Louisiana to keep that defeat out of the headlines. The white house has a doctor who could have dealt with this problem. I don’t believe anything that comes out of this White House.
What Are the Symptoms of Esophageal Cancer?
Early on there may be no symptoms. In more advanced cancers, symptoms of esophageal cancer include:
Difficulty or pain when swallowing
Weight loss
Pain in the chest, behind the breastbone
Coughing
Hoarseness
Indigestion and heartburn
What Are Risk Factors for Esophageal Cancer?
There are a number of factors which increase a person’s risk of developing esophageal cancer. They include:
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), in which contents and acid from the stomach back up into the esophagus, significantly increase the risk of adenocarcinoma of the esophagus. It is estimated that about 30% of esophageal cancers are related to GERD.
Smoking or other use of tobacco.
Heavy alcohol use.
Barrett’s esophagus, a condition that affects the lower part of the esophagus and can lead to esophageal cancer. Barrett’s esophagus may be caused by GERD. Over time, stomach acid in the esophagus can cause changes in the cells that increase risk for adenocarcinoma.
In addition, certain groups — men, the elderly, and African-Americans — are at greater risk for esophageal cancer.
C’mon now; where’s your heart, Mate?
I think we ought to pray for our esteemed Caliph, and for my prayer I will use a portion of Holy Scripture...
...to wit; Isaiah 14, Verses 9 - 20.... at least.
Amen?

THE KENNEDY’S........
Rose married into the Kennedy family
Ethel as well married into the family.
So your point is????????
How is it possible to confuse acid reflux with a sore throat?
My point was old leftys with gold plated health care tend to live pretty much forever....it’s a curse on the rest of us.
The discussion started out with me pointing out Soros and Jimmy Carter as long lived leftys with gold plated healthcare.
Then somebody mentioned the Kennedys as not being long lived (of course many were shot or alcoholic) so I threw in some Kennedy affiliates as further examples.
My original point was don’t be shocked if Pelosi is in Congress at age 100 (Italian women tend to have rugged longevity genes too).
OK...got it..thanks.
Can it be fatal?
