In the year 2022 there were 3,667,758 live births in America.
For the fiscal year October 2022 to October 2023, Customs and Border Protection encountered 3,200,000 illegal migrants. This does not include the many illegals that slipped over the border undetected, and there are a lot of those.
If the Biden administration chose to enforce existing laws on the books, our president could have throttled illegal immigration to nearly nothing for pennies on the dollar. In stead, President Biden is spending over 150 billion of your dollars every year to subsidize this illegal invasion when, for 20 billion, he could close the border and stop sex trafficking and drug trafficking, as well as criminals and terrorists from sneaking into America and committing murder and terrorist activities. This is a huge chunk of our annual deficit. President Biden is facilitating criminal and fiscal negligence.
Before we all go feeling betrayed by the president America elected in a likely rigged election, these were his campaign promises. He is on record and promising to open the border. He is on record for promising to gut American energy independence and forcing inefficient, expensive, and environmentally disastrous green energy on us. Unlike President Trump, who disentangled us from international conflict, President Biden has placed America in wars on three fronts. We are fighting a proxy war against Russia in Ukraine. We are fighting a proxy war against Hamas in Israel. Iran has engaged in a proxy war in Iraq, Syria, and Yemen against America. Nearly half of Americans willfully voted for this, and their elected politicians have pledged $250 billion on their behalf to support these wars. Add that to the $150 billion cost of an open border and it adds up to 25% of our annual deficit. Not to mention the cost of fentanyl walking freely across the border in dollars and lives.
Who are these people? Who are these people who sold out their fellow countrymen? Who are these people who support fake Catholic Joe Biden. Well, they support abortion to the tune of over 600,000 babies murdered per year. This is the place were you will find most of America’s anti-Semites. This is where you will find most of America’s anti-Christians and anti-Catholics. This is where the LGBTQ+ radicals call home. I could go on for quite a while with the left’s plethora of evil beliefs, but you know the list. I have documented the bad behavior of the left with receipts for a long time.
Does everyone on the left hold 100% of these destructive NeoLiberal beliefs? No, of course not. Some believe they are Christians. Some are secretly terrified their children will be indoctrinated by gender-queer groomers. Some would never violently protest and destroy entire urban areas. Many are horrified by anti-Semitism. There has to be a few who want free and fair elections even if they lose. Still, there is significant overlapping among them in leftist ideals they all agree on. I would love to see a poll or a study to find out what NeoLiberals hold most dear to their hearts.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed a bill Tuesday that makes medication preventing HIV available to residents without a prescription.
The bill, S.B. 339, authorizes pharmacists to furnish pre-exposure prophylaxis, commonly called PrEP, a drug that helps prevent HIV infection prior to exposure, as well as post-exposure prophylaxis, a drug used for patients exposed to HIV, if specified conditions are met.
The bill was introduced by state Sen. Scott Wiener (D) and will allow pharmacists to distribute the drugs without a prescription. Wiener said in a statement that while there have been “massive strides in HIV treatment,” the state still sees about 4,000 new infections each year, particularly in communities of color.
Setting aside Lauren Irwin’s excusable ignorance of pharmaceuticals, PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) being two drugs, emtricitabine and tenofovir, not one, she totally failed in her responsibility as a journalist to properly address the complexity of this ridiculous piece of NeoLiberal Democrat stupidity.
Promiscuous people, the highest risk among them for HIV and AIDS being, on a per capita basis, the radical LBGTQ+ community and IV drug addicts, have extremely poor judgement, personal accountability, and self-discipline. Often they suffer significant mental illnesses. I am going to divide this population of lost souls into two pragmatic groups. The INSURED and the UNINSURED.
THE UNINSURED
S.B. 339 makes no mention of the uninsured, the higher risk group of sexually promiscuous persons and IV drug users when compared to the insured. These are the people who use the emergency room for their medical care and never pay the bill. There is no where in S.B. 339 that provides for these more at risk persons. On a fundamental level, S.B. 339 does nothing to protect uninsured patients.
Fortunately, generic Truvada is a very affordable drug. While, depending on the pharmacy, generic Truvada (the trade name of PrEP) retails from $1,000 to $2,000 per month, no one ever pays those prices. No insurance company and no uninsured person. The high prices are, of course, completely fake as the drug costs the pharmacies $5-15 per month depending on their wholesale contract. The uninsured have easy access to drug discount programs like GOODRX that will drop the uninsured consumer cost to around $30 per month.
For at risk, uninsured drug addicts, the going street price for oxycodone is about $1 per milligram making it easy for an addict to burn through $100 a day or more to simply stave off withdrawal. As crazy as it sounds, impoverished, unemployed, and homeless drug addicts spend a crazy amount of money every year to feed their habit. They are not acquiring their fortune by using their good judgement and being responsible people. They beg, sell their bodies, and steal. The last thing they are concerned about is setting aside $30 a month to go their local pharmacy (which they steal from on a regular basis) to get their PrEP over the counter to protect themselves from HIV.
THE INSURED
Someone with health insurance who lives a high risk lifestyle, having sex with multiple partners, especially promiscuous homosexual men, are prone to a lot of sexually transmitted diseases, no different from the uninsured. Anal warts, herpes – genital and oral, thrush, the clap, the clam, hepatitis, tuberculosis, along with HIV and AIDS. The responsible thing for these persons to do is use their insurance and see a primary care provider regularly and do everything they can to protect themselves. They can get hepatitis B vaccines, HPV (human papillomavirus)vaccines, herpes prophylaxis, and HIV prophylaxis. They can wear condoms. They have these choices because they have insurance. Making PrEP OTC is not going to make irresponsible people take responsibility for themselves.
Only a NeoLiberal Democrat would come up with the idea of forcing an overworked, understaffed pharmacist to take responsibility for a high risk individual with insurance who is willfully shirking their personal responsibility for self-care. While a California pharmacist can pursue the Advanced Pharmacist Practitioner designation and order blood borne testing for patients, ordering, obtaining, and interpreting those results is a time consuming proposition. The presumption that a high risk person can walk into any random community Walgreens or CVS and the pharmacist will be properly trained and able to provide PrEP is unbelievable. They do not have the time or resources to do all that is required in the bill and then spend 30 minutes counseling a high risk person on the use of PrEP, needed lifestyle changes to reduce their risks, and then provide and bill insurance for PrEP. It is not in the scope of practice of a community pharmacist. Walgreens, CVS, and Rite Aid have tried and failed to roll out schemes like this for years and it always backfires. It is crap like this that is driving pharmacists to abandon the profession, just like I did.
Truvada has 133 major drug interactions, many of which are drugs that a high risk person could have cause to take. Drugs that treat herpes, anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen, drugs to treat tuberculosis, and oral treatments for yeast infections. It also has significant drug-disease interactions for people with liver or kidney disease.
Truvada has a lot of serious potential side effects. A lot of skin problems like blisters, lesions, burning sensations. It can also cause blindness.
Truvada also has two black boxwarnings, required safety alerts warning of extraordinary risks.
The first is for persons with hepatitis B viral infections affecting their livers. Discontinuing Truvada treatment in a person with active hepatitis B can cause an acute exacerbation of the infection.
The second is that Truvada should not be taken by patients who turn HIV positive because this leads to drug resistant HIV strains. The trouble is PrEP is only about 75% effective, meaning a high risk person who shoots up and has sex with any willing partner or partners could turn HIV positive at any time during treatment. How is a pharmacist who is filling 200 prescriptions a day going to give any sort of sponsorship or support to that individual?
THE TRUTH of the SHEAR STUPIDITY OF S.B. 339
Persons who engage in a high risk lifestyle, regardless of their circumstances, are at high risk for coinfections. They are at high risk for oral yeast infections. They are at high risk for hepatitis B and C. They are at high risk for herpes. They are at high risk for tuberculosis. They are at high risk for cirrhosis of the liver. And they are at high risk for having any combination of these all at the same time. The combined treatment for these diseases taken with Truvada could easily lead to kidney and liver failure simultaneously. Does this sound like a drug that should be available over the counter without the care and monitoring of a primary care provider?
SALEM, Ore. (AP) — The Oregon Supreme Court said Thursday that 10 Republican state senators who staged a record-long walkout last year to stall bills on abortion, transgender health care and gun rights cannot run for reelection.
The decision upholds the secretary of state’s decision to disqualify the senators from the ballot under a voter-approved measure aimed at stopping such boycotts. Measure 113, passed by voters in 2022, amended the state constitution to bar lawmakers from reelection if they have more than 10 unexcused absences.
Last year’s boycott lasted six weeks — the longest in state history — and paralyzed the legislative session, stalling hundreds of bills.Five lawmakers sued over the secretary of state’s decision — Sens. Tim Knopp, Daniel Bonham, Suzanne Weber, Dennis Linthicum and Lynn Findley. They were among the 10 GOP senators who racked up more than 10 absences.
“We obviously disagree with the Supreme Court’s ruling,” said Knopp, the Senate minority leader. “But more importantly, we are deeply disturbed by the chilling impact this decision will have to crush dissent.”
Democratic Senate President Rob Wagner welcomed the decision.
This is just another weaponization of government by registered Democrats against conservatives and Christians. These courageous elected leaders are fighting against transgender sexual abuse of minors, fighting for the right to life of unborn children, and fighting for our Constitutional right to keep and bear arms against a government that weaponizes against law abiding citizens based on their political and religious beliefs. They are now the victims of that very weaponization.
It may be that Multnomah County, OR has just upped the ante in their game against King County, WA, in the game of who is the most evil and stupid of the Pacific Northwest. I wish I could drop a house on both of these Wicked Witches and take their ruby slippers. Not that I want to wear ruby slippers. Or ruby anything for that matter. I had a pink shirt in 1986, but only wore it once. Oh bother!
Michael Cassidy, a Christian and former navy pilot, tore down and beheaded a Satanist altar erected in the Iowa Capitol as the display provoked nationwide controversy, The Sentinel has exclusively learned.
Cassidy said in comments exclusively provided to The Sentinel that he destroyed the shrine on Thursday in order to “awaken Christians to the anti-Christian acts promoted by our government.”
“The world may tell Christians to submissively accept the legitimization of Satan, but none of the founders would have considered government sanction of Satanic altars inside Capitol buildings as protected by the First Amendment,” Cassidy told The Sentinel. “Anti-Christian values have steadily been mainstreamed more and more in recent decades, and Christians have largely acted like the proverbial frog in the boiling pot of water.”
The first to recognize that Jesus was the Son of God, the Messiah, and the Christ was not a disciple or a leper or a Samaritan or a blind man or a cripple. The first to recognize who and what Jesus was did not do so because of a miracle or out of faith and love. The first to recognize Jesus did it out of fear and hatred.
Matthew 1: 21-26 They went as far as Capernaum, and as soon as the sabbath came he went to the synagogue and began to teach. And his teaching made a deep impression on them because, unlike the scribes, he taught them with authority.
In their synagogue just then there was a man possessed by an unclean spirit, and it shouted, “What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are: the holy one of God.” But Jesus said sharply, “Be quiet! Come out of him!” And the unclean spirit threw the man into convulsions and with a loud cry went out of him.
Of course the people were astonished, amazed, and confused. But not the demon. The demon knew, without a doubt, who Jesus was. Satan, demons, and their followers are some of the staunchest believers in Jesus Christ. They are not weak kneed cafeteria believers who pick and choose when and what they believe. They believe in and hate the Triune God. That is why Catholics have to guard the Sacred Host so carefully. The worshippers of Satan believe the consecrated Host contains the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Christ more completely than many Catholics, and one of their goals is to steal and desecrate it.
In May of 2022 St. Augustine’s Catholic Church of Brooklyn had their 19th century tabernacle stolen and the host inside desecrated along with the alter.
In March of last year, just days after Los Angeles bishop David O’Connell’s murder, someone broke into his home and stole his tabernacle. Fortunately, this time, it was empty.
As a matter of fact, a quick internet search will show tabernacles are stolen and desecrated on a regular basis, and this is the work of the Devil, and the Devil has no place in the Iowa Statehouse. Hooyah! Mr. Cassidy. You did right by America. Thank you for your service.
