I am thinking about this watch

Otherwise, no need for much, so should be a frugal Black Friday

A WATCH?   Don't you own a smartphone?

I don't live in MA, but had covid tracking notices appear at random on my phone even though I had turned that feature off.  Particularly when I'd return to the US from a foreign destination.

People think they cannot be traced, but a cop friend of mine says they can track the holder of a phone via GPS even if it's powered off.  Google knows ALL...

Are you sure you want to do that now?  Like trying to catch a falling knife??  Wait at least a year.  Or more.

I have been waiting to buy fir a few years now.  Didn't in 2019 when it would have been a good deal, and refuse to waste my money today on either a high price or a high interest rare (or both).  In. another year or two, properties will be MUCH more of a good deal.

Only way I will buy today is if it's a rental property in a market that will support the rates.

At the end of 1893, Nancy Pelosi faked her birth certificate.  

Really?  Obama did that too, many years later.

Aircraft operate every single day single pilot.  It's coming to airlines as well, though I doubt as soon as 2027.  Maybe after the US bans all ICE vehicles.

No, I actually have been really busy. We're in the process of buying a home, and I've been taking on more responsibility at work. I'm also halfway through writing a novel, I have a very young nephew to dote on, my best friend's dad (who was like a second father to me) died and I needed to be there for her and her family, and I've been trying to socialize a bit more. Quite a lot to do, and I haven't been posting very much at all because, well.... real life.  I apologize for not devoting more hours to thinking about Paul Pelosi instead of, um, thinking about pretty much anything else! 

 

And Ban Hammer, I always appreciate dad jokes, even if I have to groan at them all.  

History question for ya...  what happened at the end of 1893?  (No web searching, cannot cheat)

Fighting for justice?

How come @laylalex isn't in here defending Paul any longer?

Now the US government is backpedaling and outright lying about their message on ivermectin this past year or two.  Disgusting.

Quote

The FDA created a webpage in 2021 titled “Why You Should Not Use Ivermectin to Treat or Prevent COVID-19” and later posted a link to the page on Twitter while writing: “You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it.” A second post stated: “Hold your horses, y’all. Ivermectin may be trending, but it still isn’t authorized or approved to treat COVID-19.”

 

In a separate page, the FDA said: “Q: Should I take ivermectin to prevent or treat COVID-19? A: No.”

 

Those actions interfered with the doctors’ practice of medicine, violating the laws including the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, the lawsuit alleges.

Quote

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) telling people to “stop” taking ivermectin for COVID-19 was informal and just a recommendation, government lawyers argued during a recent hearing.

 

“The cited statements were not directives. They were not mandatory. They were recommendations. They said what parties should do. They said, for example, why you should not take ivermectin to treat COVID-19. They did not say you may not do it, you must not do it. They did not say it’s prohibited or it’s unlawful. They also did not say that doctors may not prescribe ivermectin,” Isaac Belfer, one of the lawyers, told the court during the Nov. 1 hearing in federal court in Texas.

The Republican-controlled House of Representatives will investigate Joe Biden for a series of alleged crimes including human trafficking for which extensive documentation already exists, Reps. Jim Jordan of Ohio and James Comer of Kentucky said at a press conference on Thursday.

 

Comer, who is set to chair the House Oversight Committee, said whistleblowers have come forward to detail how Hunter Biden and his relatives “flourished and became millionaires simply by offering access to the family.”

 

All members of Congress recently received information on the Biden family’s alleged corruption with national security implications from Marco Polo, a research group run by former Trump administration official Garrett Ziegler that documented and indexed the contents of the abandoned Hunter Biden laptop.

After 2 years of massive surplus, California is facing a $25B budget deficit

 

California’s state budget might be facing a deficit of $25 billion next year in what could be the state’s weakest performance since the Great Recession, according to a report by the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office released on Wednesday.

 

The forecast does not reflect a recession — just the threat of one — but it notes that the longer inflation persists, the more likely a national recession becomes.

 

The shortfall is driven mostly by declines in income tax revenue and drop-offs in the stock market, though analysts noted job losses in the tech sector may also contribute to deepened revenue deficits.

Has to be #fakenews.  Our local CA experts tell us how great life out there is.  Unicorns & rainbows for everyone. This is probably just a "hit piece" by some RWNJ who is trying to disparage the great state.

Some of you probably saw me post this on FB.

 I take a drug called Ozempic.  It's about about 950 or so per month out of pocket.  In fact My insurance company has it shipped to me from Canada.  I am in the Philippines right now. I walked in off the street and bought the same exact drug for 117.00 . Same package same company same everything. 

 

Something is wrong

We have been knowing this for a LONG time my friend.  If you think THAT'S bad, you should ask your US doctor to prescribe you some ivermectin.  Pretty much cannot be done any more.

Sucks that I have to leave the country to obtain it.  The drug that won the 2015 nobel prize has been pulled from our grasp.  Sad times.

Well, there's hope for ole Brittney after all...

I know.  My "wow" was more of a sarcastic nature.  Bad things happen in a war, some are not always intended.

A missile gone awry during a war?  Wow.

I was just happy to see the NIH allowing the truth to be told, finally.  Sure does put the egg on the face of certain individuals here, eh?

The COVID-19 pandemic is one of the most manipulated infectious disease events in history, characterized by official lies in an unending stream lead by government bureaucracies, medical associations, medical boards, the media, and international agencies.[3,6,57] We have witnessed a long list of unprecedented intrusions into medical practice, including attacks on medical experts, destruction of medical careers among doctors refusing to participate in killing their patients and a massive regimentation of health care, led by non-qualified individuals with enormous wealth, power and influence.

 

For the first time in American history a president, governors, mayors, hospital administrators and federal bureaucrats are determining medical treatments based not on accurate scientifically based or even experience based information, but rather to force the acceptance of special forms of care and “prevention”—including remdesivir, use of respirators and ultimately a series of essentially untested messenger RNA vaccines. For the first time in history medical treatment, protocols are not being formulated based on the experience of the physicians treating the largest number of patients successfully, but rather individuals and bureaucracies that have never treated a single patient—including Anthony Fauci, Bill Gates, EcoHealth Alliance, the CDC, WHO, state public health officers and hospital administrators.[23,38]
