Unsurprisingly, @RealPNavarro has no idea what the Mayo Clinic actually said. And the idea that doctors in ICUs are going to make medical decisions with critically ill pts based on CNN reports is crazy. But what do studies actually say, and why is hydro use so limited? Well...

..In 2020, FDA (under Trump), NIH and World Health Organization stopped studies evaluating hydroxychloroquine for the treatment of COVID-19 due to a lack of benefit. Current NIH and US guidelines recommend its use for COVID-19 treatment in hospitals only in clinical trials...

Media who interview CEO Barra of @GM need to understand: When asked about difference between how much of an increase she receives to reach her compensation ($30 mill - higher than all but Tesla) compared to workers, she says "It's performance based." What a croc. Here's why.../1 ...For most, it's hard for average person to understand because the compensation standards in GM's proxy is loaded with undefined acronyms - TSR, LTIP, NEO, etc. But when you know the meaning, you see that her compensation is rigged. A good percentage of her comp is based on...

Would reporters *please* stop saying RICO law in Georgia is intended to be applied to organized crime. That is *false.* In fact, it is wrong on so many levels that it is shocking reporters keep saying it. They are clearly referring to federal RICO - where they are also wrong.../1 ...federal RICO (not part of the Georgia case) has been and - according G. Robert Blakey, the man who wrote the statute - was intended both to apply to the activities of organized crime *and* other criminal enterprises, including white collar crime. From Blakey in 1989:.../2

Florida wants to teach about "skills" slaves obtained in the antebellum south because "beneficent" slaveholders taught their slaves to read, write, blacksmithing, etc. They say this is supported by "scholars." Well, let's see what the scholars really say.../1 ...first, let's start with blacksmithing, since this is specifically what DeSantis mentioned yesterday. This, more than anything, underscores the brutal ignorance of the GOP on history, and their apparent belief that Africans arrived here as ignorant, incompetent savages.../2

Wow. This is the biggest pile of nonsense I have ever read. A few problems:
1. Viktor Shokin never conducted a criminal investigation of Burisma. There was a criminal investigation in *Britain* of Mykola Zlochevsky, founder of Burisma, for purportedly laundering money stolen.../1

...when Zlochevsky served as Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources in Ukraine through British banks. Britain attempted to get documents for its case from Ukraine and Shokin *blocked* it.

2. Shokin also blocked all investigations of Ukranian oligarchs, which is what led.../2

I've long said, despite the criminality depicted in Bragg's statement of facts, the linkage to tax fraud was weak and the most damning part - the AIM coordination - was a federal crime, so not charged. IOW, I wouldnt be surprised if it didn't survive a motion to dismiss. But.../1 ...the classified documents case is in another stratosphere. The magnitude of the crimes depicted are deeply serious and per se illegal. There is no "linkage" required. Plus, the witnesses are all from Trump world...unlike Michael Cohen, it would nearly impossible to argue.../2

...and to those saying Watermark is just one (huge) church. How about these other big ones?...

...this is a classic. It throws out both homosexuality and hell in the same sentence. Usually they just choose one or the other..../4 ...and then there was the lovely pastor near Fort Worth who called for gay people to be shot in the head..../5

As a flood of details of the Trump MaraLago case come out, Trump, commentators etc say Smith's team is leaking. As someone who has covered these kinds of cases many times, that is almost certainly not true. And the fact that this much is coming out is a bad sign for Trump.../1 ...as investigations near their close, there are scores of people who know what is going on. Every witness has a lawyer, and all the lawyers speak to each other to make sure that their clients have not made an error in their testimony to the grand jury. Reporters always have../2

I wasnt able to get on Twitter for weeks after the CNN/Trump town hall. So this comment is delayed. The event was an abominable journalistic failure not because they hosted Trump. He is important & newsworthy. But they let him set terms that no real journalist would accept.../1 ...first, comes stacking the audience. Doing that and pretending it's "news" is bad enough. Telling the audience only to clap is worse. But not disclosing to viewers that this is what they did? That is journalistic lying. That is no different than a news fotog posing a photo.../2

I have been writing since 2014 that there has never been a worse SCOTUS Justice than Alito. Even as a lower court judge, he ignored facts he didn't like, dismissing them with a "that's ridiculous" response, has ignored law and precedent to reach the outcome he wants. He has.../1 ...to my knowledge never ruled on any issue that contradicts what is found in the GOP platform. He has attended/been keynoter *as a Justice* for fundraisers to benefit GOP causes. He is unfit. My mouth dropped when he was confirmed *because* his lower court decisions were.../2

These also constitute illegal in-kind campaign contributions (and they later became in cash.) And this relationship with AMI is bizarre. I really am interested in hearing the testimony about how that was going on to begin with. ...illegal cash contribution (the child out of wedlock story was false)....

We attended our first gay wedding of a dear friend who was basically our fourth son growing up. It was so so celebratory, with so much love & support from a huge crowd. And I could not help but think of all the ppl who have nothing to do with this couple who would deny them.../1 ...their love and lifelong happiness. One of the older gay men there spoke about how delighted he was to see this loving couple having this opportunity, given how hard the community fought for this for years. So to those whose lives this does not affect, but who rage & scream...2

Tucker Carlson if he had worked with a media organization throughout history, and used his cherry picking techniques:

"This supposed Pearl Harbor attack was just a pleasant day. This idea that ships sank was a lie. See the photo?".../1 ...."This supposed invasion of Normandy was not a battle in war. That was a lie. It was just an opportunity for our troops to take a nice swimming break. See the photo?".../2

The @nytimes has publishes an absolutely reckless and wrong @nytopinion piece by Brett Stephens about a scientific paper he clearly did not read. He allows one of the authors to state in the article "masks don't work" for COVID-19. The paper says no such thing. In fact, the... ...paper, which does not even count as a meta-analysis based on how it was put together, but is simply an arbitrary collection of studies that may or may not have anything to do with COVID. It also makes very very clear that no valid conclusions can be reached from what it...2

Desantis says AP African American Studies was banned because it contains "queer theory." Reality:
1. What he is talking about is that it includes reading Nobel Prize winner Toni Morrison, one of the greatest black writers in history.
2. "Kids" aren't being denied this course.../1 ...it is being offered to seniors in high school. The majority of high school seniors at graduation are adults - 18 years. The rest of them are almost adults.
3. This means that these adults will not have the opportunity (when the class is no longer pilot program) to earn.../2

Sigh. Since COVID conspiracy theorists are once again spreading disinformation (coming from the Epoch Times no less) and proving their scientific illiteracy, I want to come in one more time to explain to those who might need to tell the loons in your life why this is nonsense...1 ...ok. This is about COVID vaccines and blood clots. First, this whole issue has been known since 10/2020. All infinitesimal side effects have to be studied, as this one was. Before we get into the new study, an explainer on why blood clots can emerge in rare, rare instances...2

A big problem on Twitter now is the need to combat COVID ignorance being spread by conspiracy theorists, which I am about to do. But first: the magnitude of their inability to comprehend statistics and science is just jaw dropping. Their willingness to grab a headline without../1 ...reading the article, and then them using the headline to preen about how right and smart they are, is embarrassing to watch. That Americans have become *so* ignorant, so scientifically illiterate, and so willing to rely on nonsense to "prove" their beliefs is shameful and.../2

Read tweets on the continuing to trend "Ivermectin" list, and you will see the depths of Twitter's future, and why you need to start gradually shifting to Post.news. The list is an amalgam of lies, conspiracy theories and utter ignorance unleashed by Musk.../1 ...all of these tweets claims ivermectin works because some guy somewhere, usually a lawyer or unknown quack, says so. There are tweets that are displays of *huge* ignorance, like an endless repeating of the lie that the NIH has placed ivermectin on list of approved treatments..2

One annoying thing about people like Brigitte is that they know nothing about Christmas. For example, some of the biggest enemies of Christmas were the Puritans, who considered the holiday a sacrilegious, pagan festival...1/

I’ll probably get banned for this, because free speech ends right at @elonmusk doorstep. He is now waging war on public figures who are trying to show him how easy it is to imitate a current public figures. So he permanently bans Kathy Griffin, then insults her.
