  1. Yes it gives criteria as to whom ACS recommends testing -- and that is not every male -- but that doesn't negate the sentence I quoted.
  2. On this page, Dr. McDougall links to the American Cancer Society https://www.drmcdougall.com/education/common-health-problems/prostate-cancer/ The American Cancer Society on its acs.org pages links to the following 'Patient Page' 1 page DOC: https://acsjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.3322/caac.20062 where it simply says: Here is what experts know about prostate cancer testing and treatment. • Testing will find prostate cancer earlier than if no testing is done.
  3. Actual letter as in OP: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/23787467-letter-to-fulton-county-sheriff-4-24-23 ... and the Atlanta J-C article that the OP NY Times article notes as its source. The AJC not firewalled: https://www.ajc.com/politics/trump-probe-da-urges-law-enforcement-to-prep-for-indictments-this-summer/56OGCLMNOVGPXMJ6YXDPXQOSWY/
  4. All I can think as to why Fox and Mr. Carlson parted ways is the quote as attributed to the late Republican Senator and Minority Leader Everett McKinley Dirksen: A billion dollars here and a billion dollars there and pretty soon you're talking real money.

  6. When I went into the US Embassy - Bangkok at age 70 to get the affirmation-to-marry, the older American consular official looked at the form checked SINGLE and asked: Are you sure that went you want to swear to that you have NEVER been married. So after 16 years in Thailand as a single (but usually attached) older expat in Isaan, that ended now almost 2 years ago.
  7. Been there almost 20 years.
  8. Your 'Negatives' sound a lot like my 'Positives'.
  9. To the above, I once got a phone call from my girlfriend at the time (no English) in Khon Kaen who asked what was I doing? I said I was in Khorat at a meeting of the Thai Association for the Blind. She said: Well that's the lamest excuse I've ever heard for visiting another girl. I actually was doing what I said and put the head-cheese blind-guy on the phone.
  10. And with (at least ) the Dominion libel suit behind it, Rupert Murdoch and Fox News look forward to covering the 2024 Donald J. Trump Presidential campaign.
  11. From NYTimes.com under paywall: Under the terms of the settlement, Fox News will not have to apologize or admit to spreading false claims on network programming, according to a person familiar with the details of the agreement.
  12. There may already be 'expensive' claims-- just not by someone who has any intention of posting about them on here, or even knows that this forum exists.
  13. That's OK. So Simon and I are Guinea pigs to you for your entertainment. I just look at your avatar to put me in the proper mood to whom I am responding.
  14. That didn't take long -- not gonna ask him about his 'due diligence'?
  15. OK Simon. 12 hours and no flak. Yet.
  16. Edit to the above: Of the 7 references to colorectal cancer, including CEA, in the cancer.gov tumor marker link, none list the 'How used' as " To help in diagnosis" which is the proper term they use for 'screening'.
  17. And again from the Cancer.gov tumor marker linked above: Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) Cancer types: Colorectal cancer and some other cancers What's analyzed: Blood How used: To keep track of how well cancer treatments are working and check if cancer has come back or spread NB: No mention of screening
  18. So of the 7 references to colorectal cancer in the cancer.gov common tumor marker link above, most are to assess treatment after colon cancer has been detected. Most cancers of the colon seem to start as a polyp that might have been removed 5+ years earlier during a full colonoscopy.
  19. I guess one of these days I might have to help take care of my Thai wife's elderly parents. Except I am older than they are.
  20. As spoken by Paul Newman in The Verdict (1982) David Mamet screenplay: “This is the case. There are no other cases.”
