Free Republic

I agree on the pervatin although I think it’s name is slightly different.
It was the driving force behind the atrocities of ISIS/ISIL in Syria, and kinda a mix of Methamphetamine and Ritalin. It was a popular diet drug in the middle east and is still produced illegally in the region.
There was a huge bust(750,000 pills) in Italy, probably bound for the refugees or Antifa in Europe

The Emancipation Proclamation only free the slaves in the states in rebellion, The slaves in Boston were safe and secure in Massah’s hands.

I am approaching 60, 5 years ago I started seeing a doctor at one of these clinics. My T tested at just below the low level but my Blood pressure was above their guidelines for starting treatment,( new event for me)So we got that under control and I started the shots.
benefits
1.Minor annoying aches and pains significantly reduced or gone
2 Didn’t effect BP
3 Better sleep
4 Stopped gaining weight and noticed some minor fat loss
5 More responsive with sexual partners but still not overcharged
They gradually increased my dosage to the 800 range with one shot blowing me over 1000( where I said yeah this is the way it’s supposed to be) but immediately dialed me back to their target range of 8-900.
Some months later my Bp spiked D/t Diet I believe and I had a small stroke.
My Cardiac doctor said I had Afib and that had caused the stroke but no test had spotted the Afib even hooked up to the machine for 4-5 days in the hospital after some surgeries or after the stroke for that matter.
Would I do it again . Yes . I have just been trapped working out of town since my primary doctor gave the go ahead.
I was a at a good chain clinic with a solid staff.Always saw a doctor and they drew the line that I had to treat Bp and That at my age I had to consider getting scoped(which found a cancerous polyp that needed surgery to remove)and went out of there way to monitor me and keep me on schedule with my crazy schedule. Unfortunately just received an email that the clinic is closing operations in my state so I’ll have to go looking when I return to town.

PFOS/PFOA contamination of groundwater is very common in the U.S. Just starting to be regulated and tested for.

He gave the bailout with conditions I believe, which shifted power from a more or less one dominant to what we have now.We soon started getting flooded with Mexico’s rejects similar to the Murelito purge of criminals that Castro did. But nobody will call it that or give it an clever name as it would look bad for american politicians in general.

Since I'm currently working out of town in North Pole Alaska a small town outside of Fairbanks(feeder community), I am kind of surprised by the 3 traffic circles and dividers on some streets. Of course the circles are done to National standards of the ideal car size as conceived by planners.
This doesn't account for the soccer mom driving the 1 ton quad cab Ford that are routinely forced to go thru these circles who slows way down and inhibits the flow.It also doesn't account for vehicles with trailers, commercial vehicles and the odd 4 wheeler. Hell i saw somebody try to pull doubles though one last week on his way to make a delivery.
Also better signage or published instructions for the morons would be helpful. I do admit they cut a little time over lights at the same intersection until there is a fender bender.Not worth the overall cost.But now that they are built a little tuning up is necessary.

I suspect FB allows International users to view stuff they edit for the US sensitivities. (Hide stuff they can’t control the narrative on)

I agree State and federal investigations need to be done by “Not” your usual organisations.
But he needs to watch out for this middle ground stuff; slave labor and ovens were the middle ground as opposed to mass graves once upon a time’ they new about airborne surveillance back then.

Yep this about worrying somebody fell thru the cracks in the system.

I agree it about abuse; however i Can’t help but think that Auntie moonbeam cutting them off cold turkey contributed. As you get older it takes a while to balance out systems, Every minute change of dad’s medications brought new surprises(94 Advanced Parkinson). But not bringing a customary beer to watch the Superbowl really sent him loopy.

Notes on my birth say Scots/Irish both sides. I’m adopted so I checked to see about health tendencies. Found out I was Mainly Scandinavian and Western European with 18% Irish/GB and a tad of Iberian and a smidgen of west African.The areas are so wide it would cover 6 or 8 modern countries. In a few years it might be possible to narrow it down once there are more samples for comparison.

That would be a great idea for a conservative band. Beach Boys songs updated to I’m going to grab my Mossberg and head to; _____ fill in blanks. I’ve seen lyrics on hear before, I know ya’ll can do this!

The US liberals(Jimmie Carter and especially the college crowd and Jesse Jackson) created the crises and stood silent as it was corrupted by the communist Mugabe. The US made guarantees that we didn't support, when it mattered.
We essentially put Mugabe in office and the lack of backbone in the Congress and the White House Led to current situation. The bread basket of Africa and a beautiful tourist destination has been denied me to protect the rep of a peanut farmer shill.If SA follows the same path; they will all starve or we will have to send in the Marines to hold the horn from the Chinese. I doubt that we can currently achieve what we used to do with commerce, considering the yuppies things that pass for deal maker and support.

This is actually a give away to recent immigrants (Legal or not. No tag/no right to pull over. Suspicious vehicle? wat U talking about officer, Sold out again!

I’ve witnessed beat downs for insulting the King, but over my many visits; I have seen that it was true reverence and understanding of what he accomplished that inspired all strata of Thai society to stand by the King. There was nothing Knee jerk about this , unless there was crowd.
I also have noticed that long term expats from many countries believe the man was an anchor to Thai society. His son it not thought so well of.
It is unfortunate that the new king is linked to a previous prime ministers circle; which could change the political landscape in the region.
I will still vacation there, soon actually, but will be scanning the news often before i go.

There clearly appears to be a purge going on. The recent naming of a former FBI agent to head Border Patrol maybe because the rank and file were talking out of school to much. And there will be call for Comey’s resignation if DHS or CIA has her locked away somewhere without telling FBI (national security issues).That brings into question all investigation of Hillary under Comey.
And she could have been moved to witness protection to prevent an honor killing by jihadi father in-law to keep her from talking. He did seem to be living pretty good, what's the source of his money.

I was in Thailand a month ago and I still talk to Thai’s that ask about the Clinton money. That's the money they collected for the Thai’s after the tsunami that was never spent or accounted for. The conspiracy types think it was used against the gov. of Thailand, the rest just recognize crooks at the top levels. I think Thailand might be the place to find a smoking gun; before they became polished in corruption i.e. hiring experts in the laundering field, taking Chinese advice on overseas accounts, etc.

I had the cough for about 4 weeks, almost canceled vacation; just couldn’t imagine a long flight with that cough. However it almost cleared up and I decided to go anyway, 1st dive it came back and I was stuck for the remainder of the 3week trip with at least two cough attacks a day. Took a Z pak and extended it out to 12 days(sold over the counter there)still had a twice of day spell.Got over it a couple of days after getting home(dryer climate) but still do not feel like the respiratory system is at 80%, Avoid anyone sick like they have the plague.

Yea I suspect this is delivering some unexpected benefits to the owner and clientele.

I’m just wondering if there urban folklore floating thru the muslim world that is below the radar like 911 was. After the fact there many hint that this had been talked about and missed. May be a contributing factor to the mass exodus from the region.
