I found it interesting that a good amount of the violence done during the protests have been by young white women.  From torching police cars to burning down Wendy's, even spray painting buildings.  Not sure if that's because the media is focusing on this new phenomena or if white girl arson/violence is a big issue.  But it's interesting where gender equality leads.  When females are more equal with males they get plenty of benefits -- careerwise, freedom, self-fulfillment-wise -- but also plenty of the negatives.  it's interesting too that initially violence is assumed to be the work of black males, until they find video of white girls going to it.

WHO ending hydroxycholorquine trial for COVID

WHO ... discontinue[d] testing of hydroxychloroquine and lopinavir/ritonavir, a drug combination used to treat HIV/AIDS. The drugs were being compared with standard care for hospitalized patients.

WHO says a review of the interim results showed hydroxychloroquine and lopinavir/ritonavir “produce little or no reduction in the mortality of hospitalized COVID-19 patients when compared to standard of care.”

Drug trials are usually done slowly and carefully over a period of years to ensure that the drug is indeed effective and safe, also to ascertain the correct usage -- dosage and at what stage of treatment to start, among other issues.

What the dupes fall for neatly dissected and clearly pinned to the mounting material.

Too many words and too much hard truth for our wingers in Oz, Jersey, and whatever shithole Red crawled out of (wrestling coach’s office at Ohio State, circa 3AM).

Just shown on my 6pm news...Trump's totally irresponsible hosting of that large garden party at the White House.
No masks, no social distancing, and no idea...not the first clue.
The whole thing conducted like the pandemic has come and gone.
Ridiculous.

Equally ridiculous, foolish and stoopid was the partying by young people at beaches in Florida and the partying in Michigan or wherever.

All I could do was shake by head in disbelief.

[facilitatorn]

All the logical result of too many people believing trump could handle being president. Many many will not make the same mistake again. The shitbag is clearly an existential threat.

People who are inclined toward authoritarian approaches tend to follow their leaders' lead. Trump wears no mask and holds parties without masks or social distancing. Do does DeSantis. Why shouldn't the FL partiers and others as well.

It wasn't just today in DC, but last night in South Dakota, and last month in Phoenix and KC.

What you fail to understand is that his leadership on the other items is no more substantial than it has been on COVID-19. A lot of talk and little to no substance. It sounded good, so you swallowed it, while Trump did zip of substance.

Kicked out a kid because she wore a BLM tee shirt and the administrator doesn't agree with it and doesn't like it - claiming that wearing those sorts of shirts increased racism. I suppose it does encourage displays of racism... at least by the head of the daycare!

Is that what was going on with the Manson Family? Gender equality issues? Well, who knew?

Please, just stop.

There have been plenty of violent women and women who commit violence in the name of some cause throughout history.

Speaking of battling women.

This teenage girl is giving both her parents a lot to handle.

"i love trump 😌🧚♀️💖," Claudia captioned a recent TikTok, "but replace 'love' with 'think that we should extinguish.'" Since the teen started making headlines this week, her father, George Conway, tweeted demanding that all journalists stop trying to contact his daughter.

"To journalists: @kellyannepolls and I do *not* consent to any communications between you and any of our minor children, including our daughter Claudia. So desist. Thank you."


Claudia wasn't down with her what she said was her parents plan to silence her from expressing her opinions. In now-deleted tweets captured by Complex, she told them exactly where she stands.

"you're just mad that i'm finally getting my voice heard. sorry your marriage failed, 💅🏼" she wrote on Thursday.

She sounds like someone we all know, though.

Lindsey Graham!

 LOL!

I like that you continue to try to educate one who appears to be ineducable.

Your persistence is the hallmark of a great teacher.

Continued good luck with this particular student.

Valerie Pastore of Nutley, NJ was seen at the anti-BLM protest in Nutley yesterday in a MAGA hat, screaming at protestors and at one point making the Nazi salute. She works as the Director of Physician Recruitment at Hackensack Meridian Health – Mountainside Medical Center.

Correction. She worked as the Director of Physician Recruitment at Hackensack Meridian Health. They fired her. They didn't like that Nazi salute she through up there towards the BLM protestors.

Way to go, Valerie.
 And put a mask on. And social distance. Geezus!

How about Peter Navarro yapping about the 63 million hits of hydroxy and the efficacy of same just this past week?

Glad I had my chemical extinguisher charged and ready tonight. Some kids do not spend enough time researching proper large bore firework technique on YouTube.

We had a pressurized tube of dihydrogen oxide ready to open up if incendiaries landed in the yard.
