PP gets something like half a billion in Medicaid reimbursement alone each year- this is nothing.
Remember PPP loans five years ago for small business? Take a look at the link below, type in Planned Parenthood and see what comes up. Remember, that was all "forgiven". How did an organization with roughly 6000 employees qualify? (They applied as franchises basically. Like a Burger King. But I am guessing the local BK in NY didn't get $10M in PPP $$.)

I think Midwestern Doctor wrote about this a little while ago- that there had been studies in IIRC Kenya in villages where girls from families who were wealthy enough to send their kids to a private school - hence access to vaccines - had issues getting pregnant later on compared to their poorer counterparts from the same village.
The bullshit of suspending the 6th Amendment due to "Covid" is precisely the issue people have been pointing out for the last FIVE YEARS. That it was never about a virus. It was to erode your God-given rights. It was about power and doing anything and everything to keep it. And there are STILL people who think that is okay.
She knew the wind and fire warnings that would directly affect her constituents yet chose to leave the country. Fuck her. She deserves every bit of the public slap of humiliation.
Gavin is just sitting there and you know he is thinking 'Thank God it's not me on the hot seat'.
Week before last I went to Safeway and there were none. Zero, zip. I needed them, so the next night, I stopped at a market that is a little higher end, but easier after work. $14 for a dozen. No organic, nothing, just...eggs.
I stopped in a couple of nights ago ago for something else and I walked by to check the price and it had dropped down and there was more selection, but it was still in $7-$9 range.
I was talking to a friend of mine yesterday about this. His SIL and her husband lost their home in the,Santa Rosa fire in 2016. They were in their early 60s and he pointed out, they couldn't wait 3-5 years for everything to sort out to rebuild. They took the insurance money and just started over buying a new house. But the losses here are 10x that of 2017.
MWD posted about this on the most recent Substack today..
Likewise, sepsis...responds remarkably well to early IV vitamin C. Paul Marik for example, found it dropped his hospital's sepsis death rate dropped from 22% to 6% (and in a study he showed it dropped the death rate from 40.4% to 8.5%20).
The comments are laughable. "Leave her alone! She hates Trump!" These people are like talking dolls where they say the same thing over and over when you push a button
I am pretty sure Hillary and Kamala aren't too fond of Trump, but they managed to make it to Carter's funeral. TBH, I could see not going to the inauguration. Trump did not attend Biden's and I am only saying that from the normie perspective of optics. The funeral is no excuse. Funerals are about supporting the family as they grieve - it is not about you. But Michelle has always come off as very selfish to me.
I was curious to see if there was info on his family. Found this article from 2016 - looks like he has two younger brothers. It looks like his whole family lives I Kansas City - he is not from VA. He got his BA at the University of MO and went to Harvard for law school where he met his wife. It's his wife who had roots in VA. One brother is a pediatric cardiologist. The other looks to be an attorney who does insurance litigation.

I did a quick white pages search. It looks like one brother may have a son in his 20s and the other brother may have a child the same age - except she's a girl. 10 years ago they would have been teens. But given the distance between MO and VA, I don't think they would have known their uncle very well snd highly doubt they would have been interested in hanging out.
Walter Kirn and Matt Taibbi were discussing the fires on their podcast and the fact that the D party doesn't really have a credible spokesperson at this point. From the transcript:
Walter Kirn: ...The other problem here is that the country is facing challenges of all kinds, which it has to prioritize. The sudden claim of Los Angeles on these limited funds is going to be a political matter. California between Pelosi, Schiff, Newsom-
Matt Taibbi: Presidential Medal of Honor winner Nancy Pelosi.
Walter Kirn: Yeah, yeah, and the Vice President Harris and so on. It plays not an undue part in our governance, I mean it’s our most prosperous state, but it has a high profile. Those people are not well-positioned right now in the national conversation. Harris is a goner. Newsom doesn’t look good. Schiff is not credible and facing all kinds of difficulties. I don’t know who their spokesman is going to be is what I’m saying.
Matt Taibbi: Yeah, I don’t know. I mean Schiff’s going to have all kinds of other problems coming down the pipe pretty soon, I predict.
Walter Kirn: Yeah.
Mart, what do you know? More Twitter files revelations?
Walter Kirn went off on this - he is the one put there talking about Florida hurricanes and begging to be picked when Joe fell apart. It is going to be truly enjoyable to watch this guy go down in flames. I just wish it didn't come at such a high cost to the rest of us.
I had breakfast with a guy the other day who once upon a time worked in the Alameda County DA's office. He is now in private practice in SF, but we were talking about general incompetence. He commented that SF is full of people who have gotten their jobs solely through nepotism. Not just high profile, but behind rhe scenes jobs that have a lot of power. As much as DEI is trying to paint themselves as change agents, methinks the DEI chosen are a result of the same nepotism that has always existed, except as my colleague pointed out, they now they have no incentive to leave. The compensation they arranged for themselves is too good
The dude from RI going off on CMS and respite care and his "Granny's home dying - inhumane."
Oh Fuck You. NOW you care about Granny???? How many Grannies died alone in Covid asshole.
Sorry, his faux rage really gets under my skin.
