State of the Dem, far left lunatic’s…
“From CNN’s Deidre McPhillips An earlier version of this item incorrectly characterized as false Trump’s claim about federal money being spent for “making mice transgender.” The article has been updated with context about the spending, which was for research studies on the potential human health impacts of treatments used in gender-affirming care”. https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/03/04/politics/fact-check-trump-address-congress -

Using Peganum Harmala to improve BPH symptoms
I found @simon43's idea interesting and tried to read up on it. This turned out to be not so easy. Peganum Harmala is recommended for a lot of things. So, 2 questions to OP: 1.What exactly is the 1g/day that you are taking? You say it's on Lazada, can you post the link, please? 2. Are you still taking it and does it still work? In case you stopped, did the symptoms come back? -

Jeremy Corbyn Calls for Chilcot-Style Inquiry into UK’s Role in Gaza Conflict
Jeremy Corbyn has called on Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer to launch an independent inquiry into the UK’s involvement in Israel’s military actions in Gaza, similar to the Chilcot inquiry into the Iraq War. In a letter to the prime minister, which was seen by Sky News, the former Labour leader raised concerns that British officials may have been complicit in serious breaches of international law due to decisions taken by the government. Now serving as an independent MP for Islington North, Corbyn expressed frustration over the lack of answers regarding the continued sale of F-35 jet components to Israel, the role of UK military bases, and the legal interpretation of genocide. He accused the government of responding with "evasion, obstruction, and silence" instead of transparency. This lack of clarity, he argued, has kept the public "in the dark over the ways in which the responsibilities of government have been discharged." Drawing comparisons to the Iraq War inquiry led by Sir John Chilcot, Corbyn warned that "history is repeating itself." The Chilcot report, published in 2016 after years of delays, concluded that the UK’s decision to invade Iraq was based on "flawed intelligence and assessments." It also criticised then-Prime Minister Tony Blair for assuring US President George W. Bush of UK support "whatever" happened, months before the invasion. Furthermore, the report found that the process by which the attorney general determined the war’s legality—without a second UN resolution—was "far from satisfactory." In his letter, Corbyn insisted that "many people believe the government has taken decisions that have implicated officials in the gravest breaches of international law." He maintained that these allegations would persist unless there was a "comprehensive, public, independent inquiry with the legal power to establish the truth." Corbyn, who was suspended from the Labour Party in 2020 over a dispute regarding antisemitism and later barred from standing as a Labour candidate in the general election, affirmed that he would continue working with colleagues to explore every possible avenue for securing an independent investigation. In his view, "transparency and accountability" were essential to ensuring that the government’s actions were properly scrutinised. Based on a report by Sky News 2025-03-07 -

Democrats' Distraction: How They Handed Trump the Spotlight
Democrats had an opportunity to make Donald Trump’s policies the focus of national debate, but instead, many in the House of Representatives chose to put the attention on themselves. The result? A night that could have been about holding the former president accountable instead became a spectacle that played right into his hands. On Tuesday night, as Trump addressed a joint session of Congress, numerous Democratic lawmakers heckled, booed, and disrupted his speech. Others walked out, waved signs, and made public displays of protest. Representative Al Green of Texas was even escorted out after refusing to sit down, shaking his cane in outrage. Rather than highlighting Trump's policies, these interruptions allowed him to appear as the dominant figure in the room. Yet instead of keeping the focus on these issues, Democrats allowed their protests to steal the narrative. Green shouted, “You have no mandate!” as Trump spoke. Representative Rashida Tlaib wrote messages to the president on a whiteboard, telling him to “start by paying your taxes.” Representative Gil Cisneros called out, “What about the $400 million Tesla contract?” when Trump spoke of government waste. Others simply held up signs that read “FALSE.” Some Democrats took their protest further, staging a walkout mid-speech. Representative Maxwell Frost and others removed their jackets to reveal messages like “RESIST” and “NO MORE KINGS.” Representative Melanie Stansbury turned her protest into a fundraising opportunity, sharing a viral image of herself holding a sign that read “This Is NOT Normal” while linking to a donation page. “Hi that’s me,” she posted online. “We will not be silent. Join me in the fight.” Such theatrics might have been unthinkable in past years. When Republican Joe Wilson shouted, “You lie!” at President Barack Obama in 2009, it was a major scandal. More recently, Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert were widely mocked for heckling Biden. This time, however, it wasn’t just one or two lawmakers—it was too many to count. The White House was reportedly thrilled by the spectacle. Instead of having to defend Trump’s controversial remarks, his team was able to highlight a series of emotional moments that painted the president in a positive light. Trump awarded an honorary Secret Service badge to a young boy battling cancer who dreams of becoming an officer. He renamed a wildlife refuge in memory of a girl killed by undocumented immigrants, with her grieving mother in the audience. He surprised a young man with the news that he had been accepted into West Point, fulfilling his late father’s dream. And he announced that a terrorist allegedly responsible for the deaths of 13 U.S. troops during the Afghanistan withdrawal was being extradited to face justice. These moments, while carefully staged, underscored the power of the presidential platform. They also made the Democratic response look disorganized and reactive. “Trump’s speech was good, but Democrats are making it look even better by behaving like petulant children,” one White House ally told journalist Dasha Burns mid-speech. Speaker Mike Johnson reinforced the message, posting, “The way the Democrats behaved was unserious and embarrassing. That contrast between our forward-looking vision and their temper tantrums was on display for all of America to see.” If Democrats believe dramatic protests are the best way to fight Trump, they may find the next four years—and beyond—to be an uphill battle. Instead of seizing on his policy weaknesses, they handed him an easy win. Based on a report by Politico 2025-03-07
