Last night Joe Biden gave his big speech on his vision for this and that. Per CDC guidelines I maintained proper social distancing by watching the Yankees trounce the Orioles. WaPo coverage here. When its big news that both the VP and the House Speaker are women, well, we have known that for months.
I am more intrigued by this WSJ story describing bipartisan opposition to Biden's proposed capital gains tax hikes. Menendez, Manchin and Mark Warner and others are fretting out loud. I'd guess those rates go up, but by how much?
Holy cow Neo. But I’m not surprised. The most uninformed people on the planet.

A fact many here will PROLLY agree with, is that MOST, Republican elected peeps in this country, got elected/selected, B because the couldn't win as a Democrat where they are at. There are numerous exceptions....HOWEVER.
FULL COMMIES will shit all over AMERICA over and over and over, then moderate their campaigns for re-election.

Jim nj, it is hard to even watch this P.O.S. attempt to talk intelligently. Sloppy "that's just Joe" Biden has always been a blowhard, liar and pretend tough guy. Now, he goes back to the 50 year practiced tactic, of turning a glaring mental deficiency into a change of subject. He loses his train of thought and tries to create bull shit, to buy time. He never finishes that thought, that he completely lost, due to mental decline. We've seen it time and again, it happens every time he is not standing at a lectern with teleprompters. All men AND WOMEN are created equally, and errr, I played QB for the STEELERS, errrr HELP ME OUT HERE CORN POP???
Well you know the deal.
Honestly what person of an i.q. over 80 doesn't see this. Teacher Jill must be a horrible person, or incredibly stupid and selfish to allow this to continue. Biden knows he's not well, but this was his dream. And our NIGHTMARE.
One last thing, whilst I am still blabbering. Sloppy Joe Biden is clearly scared of COVID.

We have seen insider trading, etc etc etc. HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of people are involved in government skim.
Does any refute that the FBI and JUSTICE DEPT, top level career people, and the UNIONIZED/GOVT JOB CLASSIFIED people, are not all in on the SCAMS??
Any semi honorable CONSERVATIVE or GOPer, scares the shit out of them.
For the love of GOD, look at what they did, to take down DJT. Twice they IMPEACHED with ABSOLUTELY ZERO EVIDENCE of ANYTHING. Got the votes??? Do the deed. This isn't merely ideology. It's CORRUPTION and it's been over played. I doubt this will ever be made right in my lifetime. I may witness the second coming of RECONSTRUCTION, and the CAPITOL being moved to KANSAS.

Amom,
Yeah, when I first suspected venous insufficiency and you mentioned that it might be a problem of blood getting down to the legs, not blood not getting back up I revised my thinking.
When I finally got the approval for a venous ultrasound I was miffed that the technician did an arterial ultrasound instead after listening to my description of the problem.
Turns out she did me a favor. When I went back to my new primary care she had the results and set me up with a cardiac-vascular surgeon.
Where I go for primary care is a clinic, not a private practice. From 2011-2020 I saw the same doctor whenever I went there. So it was like a private practice as far as I was concerned. I got decent care with a doctor who was skilled at listening.
Well, that doctor left just about the time of, and maybe because of, the onset of the pandemic. The new one doesn't listen well and told me that I hadn't had Covid-19 after I mentioned having the runniest nose of my life. That was all she had to hear. Runny nose, hah? Admittedly that was in July of last year but that had become a listed symptom by that time and given the opportunity to argue the case I would have mentioned the loss of the sense of taste and smell, shortness of breath, yadda yadda.
I just wanted a referral for the ultrasound at that point and she gave it. Except they didn't process it. So after a suitable wait on the mailed referral I went back and had them process it again.
And if I hadn't been so pissed off at the ultrasound technician and gone back to the clinic to complain I'm not sure the clinic would have followed up with me on the results of the ultrasound.
So then I get an appointment with a cardiologist that I had to wait six weeks for.
Jan. 15 I meet with him. He seems to grasp what I'm trying to tell him and mentions that I may also have an abdominal aortic aneurysm.
He sets up the tests he wants and we wait for the insurance company to approve them.
I get the approved tests. I find out I need an angiogram to clear my leg arteries. Ask for approval from insurance company and oh, by the way, since you nixed the abdominal MRA can we do an abdominal aortic ultrasound?
Got that done. And I can understand the doctor's reasoning. If I have to cut him up to get to the arteries in the legs do I have to also go up at the same time for something in the aorta?
So in my Thursday call with the doctor's PA who told me they needed an insurance approval for the angiogram procedure in order to schedule that I reminded them that it had already been approved.
I'm scheduled for 5/18.
If I had this all to do again I'd present myself at ER at Hackensack University Medical Center and tell them that I identify as black and would sue them unless they fixed me NOW.

Posted by: Narciso | May 01, 2021 at 01:13 AM
Long post because I value anonamom's input, but also as an indication of how broken the medical system has gotten during the pandemic.
I didn't need a Covid test to undergo diagnostic tests at Holy Name Medical Center, but I will need one before my surgery.
I had to reschedule a colonoscopy because of Covid. They forgot to pick me up for the required Covid test. So no rescheduled colonoscopy. I've been preoccupied with the leg issue so I need to reschedule that.
Ditto for a basal cell cancer on my nose. I scheduled a tele-health appointment and they never called. Got to restart that. I mean, hello, dermatology, how do you do a tele-health for that? Wouldn't you at least like a look-see?
Rational and irrational fears crept into the medical system and Xiden* isn't doing anything to relieve them. He's going to kill more people by depriving them of a normal health system and focusing on masking.
The spike in deaths caused by Covid is going to be repeated by lack of care deaths resulting from Covid induced health care rationing.
Posted by: jim nj | May 01, 2021 at 01:28 AM
Jim, I'm sorry, but Hackensack Medical has DECLINED YOUR RACE CARD. It's a SOCIALIST THING. We used to let the bLACK folks take a cab and get treatment gratis, but NOW, we screen out the WHITE SUPREMACISTS. How did we get to the place, where normal middle class people could not get treatment for serious conditions, because, they were in line, behind people who HAVE NO INSURANCE. How did the costs get to be prohibitive, so that people who have insurance and referrals from a physician, are scrutinized more than once, before getting an appointment???
This is not EQUITY is it??? How did Obamacare improve ANYTHING??? Bottom line, if your care is delayed or not scheduled and you are not served.
WHY DO YOU HAVE INSURANCE. Has bigger GOVT, created better health care???
NOT FOR ME, NOT FOR YOU. FOR WHO???

Fighting a system can be debilitating. You have to be able to get angry to fight through it all. I am of the opinion that many people may not have fought the system and their health has been impacted by the pandemic fear environment.
There will probably never be a true account of the people saved via lockdowns vs. the number of people lost by them.

LOCAL NEWS IN MILWAUKEE. In other words, FULL COMMIE LIBTARD REGURGITATED CRAP.
Professional Sports and NCAA (who the fuck are they?) all squealing, like STALIN PIGS, making rules and MOAR RULES, OMG CDC guidelines. Same CDC that has RAPED OL and his 40 years of building a business for himself and his FAMILY.
PROTOCOLS. Cancelled games!!! No fans. BUBBLES. Did I mention PROTOCOLS? BENITO IL DUCE FAUCI, most loved celebreTARD. Birx, flying to DELAWARE to her 3rd home on the beach.

Seriously, NYC will NEVER be the same. Warren Wilhelm, was accepted and known as an idiot and agitating pretend COMMUNIST. His wife relatively likewise. HONEYMOON in HAVANNA.
WARREN WILHELM was elected despite this knowledge and info.
My grandfather of my same last name, was a resident of GREENWICH CT and a commuter to MIDTOWN for 20 years. He was SENIOR VP of SALES and MARKETING for GAF CORP. Cameras, VIEWMASTER, roofing materials ETC. He lived for his career, and the money he made in the 50-60's he used to build a CATHOLIC CHURCH in fledgling STUART FL.
St Josephs. De Blasio makes me vomit. Even the FAKE NAME. NEW YORK will NEVER RECOVER from this and the COVID opportunity for more FASCISM. NEVER. I deal with the general public on a daily basis. SO MANY PEOPLE have been scared on purpose, or the DAY TO DAY HYSTERIA, has people unable to separate themselves from the LIES and MANIPULATION. They are terrified. And the 20 and 30 somethings do not recognize this crap as destructive to AMERICA. They don't know what AMERICA is and was. I spoke to my son at college less than an hour ago. HE KNOWS, but the COMMIES are in control now.

Jim nj. On the day that SLOPPY JOE bans travel from ASIAN INDIA to THE U.S., we are to believe that WHITE SUPREMACISTS are attacking ASIANS willy/nilly because of CONSERVATIVE HATE.
Biden called DJT a XENOPHOBE and a RACIST, at the very outset of the CHINESE FLU. DJT was RACIST and XENOPHOBIC for stopping flights to the U.S.from CHINA, the very country that CREATED the CHINESE FLU/COVID 19. It's so ridiculously stupid and obvious, that BIDEN was huffing and puffing and bloviating that a BLIND CHINESE DUDE could see it.
THE MEDIA DID NOT ALLOW THE PUBLIC TO KNOW, and twitter banned truthful refences to what actually occurred. So now SLOPPY JOE bans flights from an ASIAN COUNTRY. Who is the RACIST???????

A long time ago I realized that if I wanted to find a useful article from a magazine again that I couldn't just keep stacks of magazines around.
So I clipped articles and put them in 3-ring binders organized with subject divider tabs so I could easily find them again.
Lots of subjects. So I'm going through them to see what I can get rid of now as too dated.
And I came across my "market data" binder. 20-25 year-old articles that recount the birth of some of the ideas that drive the stock markets and the trading upon them now.
Oh, let me see if this old article was digitized, nope, but the publisher is still out there.

Within a week, Basecamp’s loathed no-politics-at-work rule has escalated to a mass exodus. This afternoon, reporter Casey Newton tweeted that around one-third of the company’s employees accepted buyouts following a “contentious all-hands meeting.” The software company behind Ruby on Rails, Campfire, and HEY was, until this week or so, generally perceived by outsiders as one of the good ones.

The truly funny bit: all the woke developers at big tech use Ruby on the Rails as part of their woke identity. This to the point that it is the only skill acceptable for hire at many startups. Now an embarrassing skill to have.

henry,
I would support buyouts of federal employees. In the long run, it might be cheaper. Think of how much money we would have saved if Fauci had gone into retirement.
Somebody would have to do the math, but if we offered buyouts with no one hired to replace those who left, couldn't this be worked into a profitable way to make government smaller?
It's already been established that a lot of people go for cash in hand vs. a long term outlook. It would be pretty hard for the federal unions to argue against it, and power in the bureacracy would be diminished.

MM,
I disagree with Trump in your 7:07. Of course we have seen those types of raids before: The Nazis and Soviets for one, then I guess you add in the ChiComs.

Morning!
Pretty soon someone will have to start a go-fund me page for Jack, if Twitter keeps tanking!
Meanwhile lovely John Kerry made between 3 and 14 million $ on oil stocks last year.
Ahhhhhh socialism is great, isn’t it?

He makes the argument that the Church of England has fallen for CRT when, in fact, the Church has been opposed to slavery going all the way back to early Medieval times. He documents the actions of saints, monarchs and missionaries.
Here is an example of how the Church has been infiltrated and also why they don't want children learning history and their heritage.

Apparently, Bill Maher did a “limited modified hangout” over RussiaGate Friday night on his show.
"We, like, thought that it had to be more of a conspiracy. It may turn out that most of it really was just what he did in public," Maher continued. "Because it's so insane that he was, 'Russia, if you're listening... ,' and when he admitted he fired [FBI Director James] Comey, when I look back, I'm like 'Wow, we lived through this?'"
He is so kind to himself.
