The book "The Clot Thickens" was written by a medical doctor who studied heart disease for 40 years. It's a pretty technical book, but really lays out the truth of heart disease and contributing factors, with genetics being number 1. In that book the scam of statins was discussed. I have a compromised liver because I took a prescription medication for toenail fungus 25 years ago, that was known to have potential liver effects, and called for a blood test to determine if that was happening. After the second of a once-a-month pill, I developed hepatitis, and have had a compromised liver since. I asked the doctor why she didn't test for it, and she said, "I thought it was such a rare side-effect that I didn't think it warranted doing the test". I only wish I had been as aware back then of how bad the medical profession is. I'm almost convinced that NO medications, other than antibiotics (which have knocked out two tick-born infections from me, among other things), are worth taking.

The statin drug industry is so huge that back in the 80's, when it was determined by a board of medical professionals that the side effects far outweighed any benefit and should be discontinued, it wasn't because of the billions made each year.

It's at least half the ads on TV these days! It's funny when they have a quick disclaimer that says, "should not use if you are allergic to it"

I've never seen a "Federal only" ballot; in the four states where I have lived and voted, there are always Federal, State, and local lines on the ballots.

Would have been pretty cool if it was Fight! Fight! Fight!

My wife and I have been watching the old "Stargate" show and one episode had a future were aliens had made a treaty with U.S./world, and gave everyone an anti-aging serum, but the side effect was that women became sterile.

I believe that CDC employees were exempt, and that was VERY public if I remember correctly.

His latest was pretty mean (but I don't know if it was a tweet) :)

Nice! I wish there was a depository for memes on this site.

I guess you can wear down the patience of the AI :)

In Hyde Park, NY, they ask who you are, what your address is, and then check you off, and have you sign in. No I.D. is requested or required. It would allow someone to say they are someone else, and if they know that person will not vote, it could allow some illegal vote, but it would seem to be a very rare possibility.

I recommend either doing a screen grab, or a summary, of any twitter posts discussed here at GAW.

Unfortunately, I believe it's only for "lying to Congress", or something like that, and not for the actual killing of people through his senior care facility directives.

I used to dig for old bottles and although most aren't worth much money, I love the idea of finding something that hasn't been seen for a very long time! One thing about antique bottles though is, unlike other collectibles, they get LESS rare with time :)

I see these signs in my subdivision and know that they are a VERY small minority of people. They know they are relatively safe when putting up their signs, but conservatives know they are risking vandalism if they put up Trump signs. Could there be any clearer distinction between Trump voters and Harris voters?

Voted on Tuesday. (with my wife) Why are there two down votes?
