Why could we leave it alone? And now the Straits of Hormuz will add another bump that didn’t have to happen.

Pew Study, 2017. Reliable data always beats a lack of knowledge.

You really should read some history. The Kingdoms of Judea and Samaria predate the Roman Empire by almost a millennium. The Romans used the name for that region that had been used for 1,000 years already.

Yes, and it was never a political territory until the British Mandate in the 20th century when Mandatory Palestine was as much as 33% Jewish. Jews were called Palestinians.

Here you go. Jews were continuously present in the Levant for this entire timeline and up until this day, with Jewish Kingdoms lasting over 400 years.

The Kingdom of Samaria is aka the kingdom of Israel, with a capital in Samaria. Before you opine on history, perhaps you should actually understand it. Ps - Judah and Samaria both followed King of David and of Solomon, both Jewish kings.

Why George Mason’s refused to sign the Constitution: #8: An unrestricted pardon power could let a President pardon accomplices in treason, concealing his own involvement. #15: The new government could evolve into either monarchy or a corrupt, tyrannical aristocracy.

Past 24 hours of "I am the Code" and naming everything in sight (including Ford's Theater) stories suggested this to me, and ChatGPT provided. With apologies to Louis-Dieudonné.

Horrifying article. “The success of the polio vaccine was a massive medical fraud.” Then RFK “you have a steadfast friend in the White House.” then Andrew Wakefield!!! Are we doomed? Bonus: the efficacy of the polio vaccine and others. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/17/h...

Jews are a joinable people (through conversion) whose members share overlapping religious, historical, cultural and genetic heritage. Most long-established Jewish communities show significant shared ancestry originating in the ancient Levant, alongside varying local admixture.

An explanatory infographic on amino acids, proteins, and peptides and the 7 compounds before the committee yesterday and today. Consideration is whether these should be on the "allowed" list for manufacture by compounding pharmacies for individual prescriptions.

Regarding whether this will at least improve safety and controls in manufacturing (as in the chatGPT comment, above), this from the March NY times article above:

These 7 peptides - 4 from yesterday’s hearing and 3 from today’s were removed from the list in 2023 as noted in this NY Times article. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/31/h...

For the curious, the makeup of the panel in 2024.

Paul Bleicher @pbleic.bsky.social · 24/07/2026
Note that in the past, the members of the advisory panels were mostly, if not all, distinguished physicians, pharmacists, and scientists who were experts in the field. If you are curious as to whether there is ANY rationale for approving these peptides, this answer from chatGPT is helpful.

A frequent target of GOP leaders as a bastion of progressivism, Martha’s Vineyard is awash in flags and flag bunting in preparation for the old school 4th of July parade. Like every year before it. Patriotism is not owned by one party or political stance.

The S. Korea thyroid cancer experience mentioned in the article is a case in point. A huge excess of thyroid cancer diagnosis with lots of morbidity from surgery etc and no change at all in mortality.

For goodness sake, doesn’t anyone remember the role of the army bases in the flu epidemic of 1918-1919? Has political ideology completely replaced common sense?

It’s about safety. It’s about increasing everyone’s costs without proof of efficacy. It’s about drug interactions. It’s about false hope. It’s wrong.

Oh look. NPR took the same stats I did and said the odds are zero. You should definitely go after them with your hair splitting argument that it isn’t “zero.” BTW - the odds are NEVER zero until after the date has passed.
