Anyone can search the world’s medical literature on PubMed (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov). I did a PubMed search for “ivermectin Covid-19” and I found 7 recent randomized controlled double-blinded studies of the efficacy of ivermectin for Covid-19 published in 2022. None of them showed any significant benefit for ivermectin for Covid-19. Here they are:

Yes, unity is a worthy goal, and I applaud Biden for pushing it.

BUT –

We can’t unify with people who think that Biden has dementia.

We can’t unify with people who think that we are traitors.

We can’t unify with people who think that we are Communists. We can’t unify with people who think that we are pedophiles, or that we support pedophilia.

We can’t unify with people who think that we are Satanists.

We can’t unify with people who deny that Joe Biden won the election fair and square.

“WE DON’T NEED TEQUILA, WE MAKE PERFECTLY GOOD BOURBON RIGHT HERE.”

Mike Pompeo apparently wants to run for President in 2024. It seems he has already begun his pitch to be Trump’s rightful heir.

He calls out “multiculturalism” without really defining what he means by that. Here is what he means – America should be ruled by white Christian people. It is Christian white supremacy wrapped in a “cloaking shield” of patriotism.

As Pompeo sees it, the only people whose beliefs are important are his people’s, the white Christian people’s, beliefs.

IS IT PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE FOR QANON HEADS TO ACTUALLY EXPLODE?

Trump said today "This week, we inaugurate a new administration and pray for its success in keeping America safe and prosperous. We extend our best wishes, and we also want them to have luck — a very important word." [Why is luck the very important word here - moron?]

"All Americans were horrified by the assault on our Capitol. Political violence is an attack on everything we cherish as Americans. It can never be tolerated."

[Is he trying to avoid impeachment?]

We all know that Trump has established a pattern where he repeats a big lie over and over, and his supporters believe it.

I believe that many of his supporters now think that this is the way government works. The man with the most power & the biggest media reach is SUPPOSED ... ... to do this, otherwise, he isn't fighting hard enough. Morality (truthfulness) doesn’t matter if it gets in way of one’s agenda. So what if we play dirty, as long as we get a W for our side. Now his supporters are following his lead and making up stuff up on their own. ...

To me, the Seventh Day Adventist Church is one of the strangest.

The Seventh-day Adventist Church arose from the Millerite movement of the 1840s in upstate New York, a phase of the Second Great Awakening. William Miller predicted that Jesus Christ would return to Earth between the spring of 1843 and the spring of 1844. Two failed predictions. In the summer of 1844, Millerites believed that Jesus would return on October 22, 1844, understood to be the biblical Day of Atonement ...

@GaSecofState"People on both sides of the aisle generated controversies out of nowhere to stir up trouble."

We collectively call bullshit on that. None of the "controversies out of nowhere to stir up trouble" came from the Democrats. If the Republicans cry "Fraud" and the Democrats respond "Bullshit," it's not the Democrats who are stirring up trouble and controversies.

You threw in with a vicious, mendacious autocrat, and when you didn't obey his orders to the letter, he lashed out.

Parents should know that due to Parler’s dangerous combination of an extremist user base and almost non-existent moderation of content, hate speech, incitements to violence and disinformation about the election results are pervasive on the platform. ParentsTogether urges all parents of children under age 18 to immediately check their kids’ phones and tablets to ensure that their children have not installed Parler. If your child has installed Parler, we strongly recommend that you delete their account and the app.

I've been widowed once, married twice. Both of my wives told me their stories of harassment. My late wife had her boss repeatedly try to put his hands on her, and pushed her to have sex, despite her being married and her telling him to stop. I wanted to intervene, but she refused to let me, telling me “that’s just how men act,” meaning that wasn’t the first time she’d had it happen to her. This was 30+ years ago. My second wife was fired from her job as a cook for refusing to have sex with the crew.

THE REBRANDING OF RACISM AND BIGOTRY.

This is an oversimplification, but it serves to frame the discussion.

First, there were the KKK, white supremacists and neo-Nazis. These were so extreme, and (appropriately) elicited such a backlash, that they couldn’t attract members. So they tried toning it down. They said, now we are just white nationalists. We don’t hate black people, we just think that each race should be with their own. And since America is majority white, that means that should be white country.
