There is no limit to the amount of sewage that Leana Wen is willing to spew out of her pie-hole. Now that she has proven to be consistently wrong, she is desperately trying to ressurect her reputation.
There is no better example of a P.O.S. than this evil witch.
As someone with friends & relatives throughout Deutschland, I found this incredibly funny but it may be an acquired taste for those of you without knowledge of the inside dynamics of the regions of Germany. We’ll see.

Then you’ll be labeled as a “Domestic Violent Extremist”:
In an effort to leave no stone unturned in the search for evidence of systemic racism, these intrepid U of M medical researchers have recently discovered a startling culprit: the pulse oximeter.
“This shows that systemic racism is built into the technology we use and affects health-care outcomes for minorities,” Rush says. “Not only is our medical technology giving us biased and incorrect information, but clinicians are also using that inaccurate information to make clinical decisions that cause harm.”
To be really accurate, maybe the studies need to set up a Race Classification Board first. There must be some retired bureaucrats from South Africa who could be tapped to help out with that.
The average life expectancy of an Irish immigrant worker after arriving in America was just fourteen years =
In the current year, when the 1619 Project is considered history, Django Unchained is treated like a documentary, and Gone With the Wind has been thrown into the burn pile, most Americans have a very distorted understanding of how the institution of slavery operated on a day-to-day basis. Pop culture portrayals (the ones that have not been banned) would have us believe that sadistic Southern plantation owners routinely starved, beat and killed their slaves for the sheer thrill of it. When we meet Leonardo di Caprio’s planter character in Django Unchained, he is amusing himself by forcing two slaves to fight a gladiator death match. Well, as with all historical events that are integrated into a founding mythology – for example, the American Revolution, slavery & the Civil War, and World War 2 – the truth is a bit more complicated than the legend.

Leftists are out for blood, and Republicans are backtracking on their support for Trump. The upcoming show trial.
Woke Britain: Snowflake education. Reaction to the attempted murder of Salman Rushdie. The right to offend. The thought police.
Biden’s America: William Burns and China. The spitefulness of Joe Biden. Announcing the new Microaggression Victims Unit. A fed up Democrat mega donor. The Biden Afghan fiasco. The truth about the FBI raid.
Trudeau’s Canada: Big Chief Justin must step in, and save Newfoundland from colonialism. Dear Leader is back and on the road again. Today Trudeau heads to Quebec for private meetings. The hereditary dictators take their roadshow to Vancouver. And Rex Murphy comments on how Trudeau ignored the actual threat to Salman Rushdie.
Inevitably, “abstract concepts like ‘civilisation’ and ‘intelligence’” are also deemed frown-inducing, and causes of “real, physical harm,” unlike their opposites, presumably. Though I’m not sure that they’re entirely abstract. I mean, without the realities to which they refer, one tends not to arrive at things like telescopes, maps of the early universe, or probes on other planets. And one might, for instance, contrast the insights of aboriginal astronomy, a wildly inflated term, with those of – dare I say it – more civilised cultures at the same points in history.
In order to succeed, space exploration must be “decolonised,” apparently. Though despite much tutting, why remains unclear.
Today, on the 45th anniversary of the death of Elvis Presley, SDA regular Denise takes over this edition of Reader Tips:
It was an ignoble death for the man they call the King. Forty-five years ago – August 16, 1977 – the years of prescription drug abuse and a truly dreadful diet took a final toll on 42-year-old Elvis Aaron Presley. “Like Elvis” is a song written by my husband, James Frazer. It offers a quirky, cautionary song for all wannabe Elvis impersonators, whatever their vice. There’s lots of unique phrasing to enjoy! Here are the lyrics.
Bonus: On August 7th/8th I (Robert) drove the 444 mile Natchez Trace Parkway from Nashville, TN to Natchez, MS. One of the highlights was stopping in Tupelo, Mississippi, at the birthplace of Elvis. Here are a few photo I captured there:

London Review of Books- Blast Effects, James Meek reports from Ukraine
Ukraine’s fate won’t be decided in Donbas, where the biggest part of Ukrainian and Russian forces are concentrated, but hundreds of miles away, on the more obscure battlefield of the south-west. The country’s future turns on Russia’s ability to hold on to a piece of land on the western side of the Dnieper, between two port cities: Russian-occupied Kherson, and Mykolaiv, less than forty miles north-west. If Ukraine manages to sweep the Russians from Kherson, the western half of the country will be protected by the great barrier of the Dnieper, Putin will suffer a politically damaging defeat and Kyiv will be closer to freeing its biggest ports from Russian blockade. European leaders sceptical of Ukraine’s ability to resist the invaders may think again. If, however, Russia clings on to its western bridgehead, it will retain the potential to swallow more of Ukraine, threatening Mykolaiv, Odesa and the rest of the Ukrainian Black Sea coast all the way to the Danube, and, eventually, the whole country.
