[Red State] Andy Slavitt was Joe Biden’s senior adviser to the COVID response team. He just stepped down from the position last week and now has a new book he’s hawking on all the networks, "Preventable: The Inside Story of How Leadership Failures, Politics, and Selfishness Doomed the U.S. Coronavirus Response."
What a coincidence, I’m sure that his leaving isn’t at all timed to coincide with the book coming out. Did it factor into his joining the administration? This is just wrong to try to profit off the pandemic with a book. Yes, he’s no longer with the Biden team but that doesn’t make it any less scummy.
But on top of that all, he’s now trying to hype the book by lying about President Donald Trump and actually disparaging the American people.

Just ONE person's opinion, frankly he is entitled to it.
And given his education a poor one: Andy Slavitt's age is 54. American businessman who made a name for himself as an Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. He is also the founder of the company Health Allies and worked as its CEO until 2003. The 54-year-old entrepreneur was born in United States. He received his MBA from Harvard Business School in 1993.
I don't agree with his opinion
- Our society has been attacked with a man-engineered virus, we were lied to at the get-go by alleged medical experts, no amount of Monday Morning Quarterbacking will change our past experience, ever. It was lived and it is fading into the past, onward to the future.
Time to move on, look forward to the life you have left, get busy and live.

[GAB] Arizona Attorney General and US Senate candidate Mark Brnovich to the US Department of Justice: "My office is not amused by the DOJ's posturing and will not tolerate any effort to undermine or interfere with our state Senate's audit."
[BabylonBee] The nation is abuzz with talk of reparations. Hooray! Giving people whose ancestors were oppressed money -- paid out of the pockets of people whose ancestors oppressed people -- is all the rage.
But how do you know if your ancestors were oppressed? Luckily, we've done all the research, so all you have to do is take this internet quiz. Quiz at link...

"This is the USA. There is no one coming to our rescue If things go sideways. No one will be rescuing us, no one will be dropping food, ammunition, medicine. There's no place to escape to for freedom. THIS IS IT."

Some of my ancestors gave up fighting their oppressors after the Battle of the Thames in 1813 when Tecumseh fell. By the Civil War they had joined their former oppressors in fighting at the Battle of the Crater and Petersburg. Some died at Andersonville.

Quizzes are raaaaacist and, therefore, I did not take it.
I am, however, certain that my great-great-great-great-Grandfather was once called a [Lightly-]Smoked Irishman, and am, therefore, entitled to my boodle. Please send it to my Nigerian Prince-in-Waiting brother. Thank you!

Dron66046 2021-06-15, I could be wrong but I believe the New Zealand Maori are the exception. They fought the British to a draw. Still lost their country but i don't believe they were oppressed.
[Just The News] Texas Attorney General candidate George P. Bush on Monday said former President Trump is "the future of the Republican Party," as he carved his path toward trying to unseat incumbent Attorney General Ken Paxton, a fellow Republican.
"President Trump is the future of the party," Bush, a member of the Bush political family, said on the "John Solomon Reports" podcast. "We need to carry on the successes that we've had this past November in our state, helping to elect new down-ballot candidates and carry on this legacy."
Bush, now the Texas land commissioner, is the son of former Florida GOP Gov. Jeb Bush and the only member of the Bush political family — which includes former Presidents George H.W. Bush and son George W. Bush — to openly support Trump.
Whether Trump will back Bush is uncertain, considering Paxton has been among the former president's most public and loyal supporters.
Bush said Monday that he makes the argument "all the time" to family members that Trump is "the life of the Republican Party."
"He has brought a new sense of energy," Bush also said.

"But when churchman and layman, prince and prior, knight and priest, come knocking to Isaac's door, they borrow not his shekels with these uncivil terms. It is then, Friend Isaac, will you pleasure us in this matter, and our day shall be truly kept, so God sa' me? [...] And when the day comes, and I ask my own, then what hear I but Damned Jew!"

I met the guy once and have watched his career. While he is correct about Trump being the future, he has always seemed to me to lean towards whoever had power. Kinda like cocaine Mitch working with Trump, but once he "lost" Mitch leaned over to the other side. I see Pbush being like that. As a career politician, he will work with the party, but also lean to work with whoever holds the power.
[Study Finds] ANCONA, Italy — The number of gluten intolerant children has doubled over the last 25 years, according to a new study. Children who suffer from celiac disease, one of the most common lifelong conditions in Europe, may not be getting the treatment they need because many have not been diagnosed, say scientists.
People with celiac disease produce antibodies to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye, ingredients which are commonly used to make a variety of tasty foods such as bread, cakes, biscuits, pasta and some breakfast cereals. If they accidentally feast on gluten packed foods, these antibodies damage the gut lining and can lead to symptoms, including bloating, stomach pain, diarrhea and fatigue.
It can also cause blood diseases, fertility problems and osteoporosis, if they do not follow a strict gluten-free diet. In children, the condition has also been linked to poor growth and can delay puberty.
Now, researchers at Marche Polytechnic University in Ancona, Italy, have found the problem is much bigger than previously thought.
"Our study showed that prevalence of celiac disease in schoolchildren has doubled over the past 25 years when compared to figures reported by our team in a similar school age group," says study author Elena Lionetti, a professor at the university, in a statement. "Our sentiment is that there are more cases of celiac disease than in the past, and that we could not discover them without a screening strategy."

I sat next to an antique fair vendor at an annual street sale in New Harmony Indiana on Saturday. We visited and 'people watched' for nearly four hours. Believe me when I tell you it's not just the children who appear to be at risk, and yes, I could stand to lose a few pounds as well.

(people) may not be getting the treatment they need because many have not been diagnosed.
The more people diagnosed, the more the numbers are added in, then you say the numbers are double... well of course 1/50000 goes to 1/25000.
Could this be a genetic condition ? If so,it is not a disease, what is transmitted is a disease, what is an inherited trait is a physiological condition.

Professionally diagnosed vs self-diagnosed. That's prolly a rayciss question.

This thing is amusing given that my wife and I have to deal with it. She's not Celiac, she's physically allergic to wheat and barley. My allergy doctor asked her to describe the symptoms one time and when she was done he said, "That's Anaphylaxis, not celiac. Let's do some tests." Sure enough, wheat and barley. Especially barley. But, she will soon be starting oral immunotherapy for it:) So in a couple years, she may be able to eat normal again.

It's the peanut allergic person's responsibility to watch out for themselves. Not everyone else's to go without for them. Same with gluten, sugar, shellfish, alcohol, etc.

allergic person's responsibility to watch out for themselves Yes. I keep reading news items about people with life-threatening food allergies dying suddenly from their own indiscretions. One self-victim was found lying dead on the kitchen floor, her body propping the refrigerator door open. She had consumed a mouthful of someone's Chinese leftovers which (unknown to her) include shrimp, which she already knew could kill her. She had an Epi-pen on her, but died before she could use it or even call for help. Some food allergies are not for the heedless.

I do feel bad, because gluten free pasta is The Devil.
Gluten Free in Italy must be like lead eunuch for the Sultan's harem.
swksvolFF, the American Test Kitchen team has two gluten free cookbooks. The first one has a recipe for homemade pasta. I’ve not made it, but in my experience all of their recipes work. Check your library — mine has both volumes as well as a nice selection of their other cookbooks, if you don’t want to buy on spec. link.
[AnNahar] The winner of Iran's presidential election will face a host of tough challenges once he takes over from Hassan Rouhani ...Iran's moderate president, which he is, relative to his predecessor, which doesn't mean he's anything but a puppet of the nearest holy man... in August.
Seven men are running in the June 18 vote, with a possible run-off on June 25.

Iran also has one of the (if not the) biggest drug addiction problems in the world.
Iran's corruption problem is a force multiplier in all its other problems. The IRNG and various rulling mullahs have been able to amass a lot of the ownership of various businesses.
Iran's foreign adventurism costs a huge amount and results in lots of deaths of Iranians (as well as various militia) also.
Finally, because the President is subservient to the Islamic Guardians, a lot of common sense solutions are off the table.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
