  1. Had he been white, the press would have called it a fentanyl death. And they would have been correct.
  2. Try as I might, I couldn't find any mention of Trump in the OP, which is about a policy of the UK.
  3. Here's God weighing in: A mural honoring the memory of George Floyd in Toledo, Ohio has collapsed after being struck by lightning Tuesday. George Floyd Mural Struck By Lightning In Toledo, Ohio - CBS Minnesota 7/15/2021
  4. Gotta say, the OP touches on all the tropes. Starts with Floyd, ends with Israel, and hits half a dozen other squishy issues along the way. Reminds me of my college days when I was trying to chat up activist chicks, looking for their hot button.
  5. Those responders have bigger cajónes than I do. Or maybe they've never experienced BLEVE training. boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion I've gone through BLEVE training at several points in my life and I'll never forget the images of many yards of fire hose melted into the pavement in the aftermath of an explosion. Anyone within 50 yards or so would have been toast.
  6. He's not doing so well in the social media realm. First the "cocaine on a train" and now this... And that even bigger one. Google "Becoming Brigette".
  7. Isn't she a dude? That's what Candace Owens claims to have proven. And she has the receipts.
  8. And you keep acting as if mRNAs are traditional vaccines. They're not.
  9. "The risk of death from (insert any ailment you care mention) for adults ages 75 years to 84 years old is about 140 times higher than for adults ages 18–29." I think it's also very telling that the recommendation for boosters is the same, regardless of risk profiles, and don't consider the side effects. I think they're still jabbing toddlers in spite of miniscule risk and a potential lifetime of long term side effects that we can't possibly know until a long time has passed and someone studies them.
  10. Here's what Congress says: Illegal immigrants are a net fiscal drain, meaning they receive more in government services than they pay in taxes. Illegal immigrants do pay some taxes. We estimate that illegal immigrants in 2019 paid roughly $5.9 billion in federal income tax, $16.2 billion in Social Security tax and $3.8 billion in Medicaid taxes. However, as the net fiscal drain of $68,000 per person cited above indicates, these taxes are not nearly enough to cover the cost of the services they receive. They said that at the start of 2024. During Biden... HHRG-118-JU01-Wstate-CamarotaS-20240111.pdf https://www.congress.gov/
  11. You should hear what Thomas Sowell has to say about them, and the communities they spawned in the USA.
  12. Seeing as how that's by prescription only in the USofA, isn't that an indictment of health care professionals?
  13. He called us all girls. Even the captain of the football team and that year's state heavyweight wrestling champion. We developed thicker skins than the snowflakes nowadays.
  14. That's what the hotel does. You don't need to do anything. True, unless the hotel didn't ask to see (and copy) your passport. Most do. Some don't.
  15. They're used for similar reasons, but they're not the same thing. Google "isosorbide dinitrate vs nitroglycerine". Isosorbide dinitrate (Isordil) and nitroglycerin (Nitrostat) are both nitrate vasodilators used to treat chest pain (angina), but they have some key differences. Isosorbide dinitrate is available in both short-acting tablets and long-acting capsules, and it works slowly to prevent chest pain. In contrast, nitroglycerin is a fast-acting medication that you place under your tongue or against your cheek, and it starts working within 1 to 3 minutes to relieve chest pain. Isosorbide dinitrate needs to be taken on a strict schedule to avoid tolerance, while nitroglycerin is used as needed at the first sign of chest pain or before activities that might cause it. I keep a keychain pill fob full of nitroglycerine tablets on my key ring, taped up so I don't confuse them with other meds that I keep with me. Pulled that tape off for the first time in over 10 years earlier this month, then went to the ER to get checked out. Tests and scans came back clean so I went back home. But I was glad to have the nitro, being a CABG patient 10 years ago. It was fast and a little scary.
  16. Yup. When misgendering someone is treated as "harm", it's gone off the rails. I remember when my PE teacher used to refer to our boy's class as "okay, girls" and he still kept his job. I doubt he'd last a week nowadays. But the lefties are perfectly fine with referring to us as Hitler and Nazis and worse.
  17. This website says it's 24 weeks. It was passed as 28 weeks in 1958, but shortened to 24 weeks (another source). Basically, when the fetus becomes viable if it were to be born prematurely at that point. Not "full term". Viable. Though I don't know if the word "viable" is in the law. If You Kill An Unborn Child You Cannot Be Charged - Welcome to Mums Advice https://mumsadvice.co.uk/ Which contradicts Chomper's contention that fetuses get human rights only when they're born. It's at 24 weeks.
  18. Yet someone who murders a pregnant woman can also be charged with killing her unborn child. At what point in the gestation period does the unborn fetus become a human being?
  19. That's kind of what I was getting at... If you have a home country arrest warrant, an Interpol red notice or... or..., I don't know how any agent can guaranty entry. I'd hate to pay the 4000 baht, buy a 35,000 plane ticket and still get turned away.
  20. If only he'd known that the sentence would be 30 days. It could have just as randomly been 20 years. He may have been an idiot to do the deed, but he was smart to get out of Dodge.
  21. I'm not doubting that at all, but how does the Safe Entry company guaranty that their customer isn't blacklisted or otherwise barred from entry, perhaps by virtue of a checkered entry history? Do they have a method of checking the passport against immigration records? Certainly, they can't guaranty entry to any and all, regardless of history. Or do they just inform the customer not to even try if there are red flags? Again, I'm not doubting that it's a worthwhile service. Just wondering how it works...
  22. Mango. The king of fruits. I like the ones that are almost over-ripe. I tried my hand at raising papaya back in Texas and ended up with this pornographic beauty: Then we had a hurricane blow through and flooded my papayas with salt water.
  23. And that's the reported cases. I'd bet that most patients sucked it up, stayed home and didn't even get reported. 13 deaths among 60 million population. Still liking those odds. I'd be more interested in the ages of the fatalities, and their comorbidities. Old people die every day. It only stands to reason that some of them had Covid that day, too. Did they die with Covid, or as a result of Covid?
  24. That works great. Until they catch you. I recall some recent threads where someone posted the legal requirements to report being overseas.
  25. You've never walked down Sukhumvit between Asoke and Nana? The drivers there are offering tours. Themselves. In fact, everywhere I go in tourist areas, there are taxis sitting with their cars, flashing poster sized brochures of the attractions they'll take you to if you would just sit in their taxi and let them.
