If I were asked to give what I consider the most useful bit of advice for all humanity it would be this: Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life and when it comes, hold your head high, look it squarely in the eye and say, "I will be bigger than you. You cannot defeat me."

President Biden has absolutely had it with these fools

Shirley Kennedy

...

The post President Biden has absolutely had it with these fools appeared first on Palmer Report.

Read on »

I don't usually put in the " Palmer " articles I get every day. Divine's meme with the lady and her "land of the free" sign and the car with the little boy with his nervous and very perplexed look just inspired me to share it. We are all so tired of the 1/4th. minority dictating to 3/4ths. of us that we must face illness and possible death so that they can have their precious freedoms while ignoring all of our freedoms to the max. Like Pres. Biden I very much feel that these people have lost the right to their freedom of choice when it kills others and even more so, our precious children, grand children and great grandchildren. These people have lost their way for whatever the reason and are endangering themselves which is okay if that is what they want, but only if they ONLY endanger themselves. They can go ahead and die for their belief if they so insist -- but no right to take others with them, child or adult.

IllinoisLady, a good Palmer article saying Biden has the backbone to call out the antivaxxers and demand they get with the program. Even tho he doesn't mention it and the press doesn't report on it, to know Biden is to know before he went public with his latest speech on the vaccine, he already met with and discussed the situation with his top educated, experienced, trusted advisors in the field, and together they arrived at the next best steps to take to get Covid under control. We know former orange blowhard never did such a thing. I shudder to think where we'd be if Biden were not elected.

About the meme I posted, that's actually child actor Haley Joel Osmet in 1999 who was in the movie “The Sixth Sense." His troubled character whispers the famous line, “I see dead people." So someone created this meme by superimposing his photo over protesting antivaxxers………

Oops. I think I replied to the wrong thread.

IllinoisLady

Yes, and I am speaking from the vantage point of Great-grandmother so I am more resentful on that side of things.

While he was President Dubya was often hard for me to take, but I have to say on this item we are in absolute agreement:

It does have a certain ring to it.

This is why Fox News really isn't:

For starters, you have to have a whole lot of lunatic inside yourself to want to go see either one of these dudes -- and together. No dice what-so-ever. They ate loony.

Caption words could not be truer.

How many times we have heard this !!! How many times have we seen any verified evidence. I'll be glad to wait.

Good memes, Jackie. Heather Scott Richardson made similar remarks last week about Republicans wanting Biden's plan to fail and terrified it will succeed:

Biden's new approach to the pandemic is, as Josh Marshall of Talking Points Memo points out, good politics as well as good for public health. About 65% of the voting age population is already vaccinated, and older people are both more likely to be vaccinated and more likely to vote. With most Americans vaccinated and increasingly frustrated with those who refuse, there is little political risk to requiring vaccines, while Republicans standing in the way of public health measures are increasingly unpopular. Florida, where deaths from coronavirus soared to more than 300 a day in late August, has begun to limit the information about deaths it releases.

If Biden's new vaccine requirements slow or halt the spread of the coronavirus, the economic recovery that had been taking off before the Delta variant hit will resume its speed, strengthening his popularity. Those Republican lawmakers furious at the new vaccine requirements are possibly less worried that they won't work than that they will. September 9, 2021 (Thursday)

So, the Trump zombies march on. How incredible and nothing like what I would have expected even with the orange loony having charge of 4 yrs. of all of our lives. I presumed that many of the Reps. that were actually a part of our working government would not debase themselves so badly. Boy, was I ever wrong. I continue to think if they are going to hang onto El Cheeto, they will go over the cliff with him. He loses more for them daily.

A thought for them, and the hill they are on.

OMG. Is this true?

ChiSandy

Y'know, when I was a little kid watching those March of Dimes, St. Jude Hospital and childhood-leukemia telethons, I used to daydream that someday in the not-too-distant future someone would discover that something cheap and harmless like tomato or orange juice would be the cure for cancer. Know what happened? I GREW UP.

The OTC and cheap off-label-use drug-repurposer COVIDiots touting ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, Pepcid, and now Betadine remind me of that little kid--only not innocent. Overnight, the QANut woman who hung banners over highway overpasses, refused to wear a mask or get vaccinated, and upon being hospitalized demanded ivermectin and had her followers harass the hospital (even making death threats), died in the ICU of COVID.

And stories are pouring in about heart, stroke & trauma patients unable to find an ICU bed in their own states dying because their loco-regional hospitals' ICUs are all occupied by COVID patients--99% of whom are unvaccinated.

Betrayal

Betadine was once used for treating wounds, etc but fell out of favor when it was discovered to inhibit action of WBC's in the healing process. I cannot remember the last time I used Betadine in the hospital setting but you should be able to tell the users when it stains their teeth and tongues. Hated when I got it on my lab coat because it was a permanent stain resistant even to bleach. If you are iodine sensitive, it is even worse and could cause death. Tired of these "fake" cures when the true cure could be as simple as getting the Covid vaccine. I am so glad I retired from being on the front line in nursing, not because I need to be appreciated but because they have to make too many sacrifices to keep their patients from self-destructing and it is not fair to those patients who do follow the rules and are denied access to necessary care. As Forest Gump said, "stupid is as stupid does".

My friend's son is a PT at a big hospital in Minneapolis (in the highly vaccinated state of Minnesota). He told her that the hospital is on Code Black....the worst level, and where it has never been before. He is having to see his patients in the hallway. The same friends niece needed emergency gallbladder surgery. Because of the patient overload, they couldn't do the surgery until the next morning. They didn't dare to send her home, so she has to in a bed a hallway overnight. Even if you don't get Covid, if anything else goes wrong or you have an accident, your health care will be compromised.

Now I understand why poorly informed people are using Betadine. This article appeared in Anesthesiology News in 2020:

Povidone-Iodine as a Preprocedural Nasal and Mouthrinse Prophylaxis for COVID-19

They see something untested for the general population and decide to take those rather than treatments approved for human populations. There is no treatment for stupid.

So, instead of Betadine being used IN douches, it's being used BY douches.
