Istanbul, Turkey (CNN) — All 183 people on board a passenger plane survived after it skidded off the runway and broke apart while landing at Istanbul's Sabiha Gokcen airport.

Fifty-two people were injured in Wednesday's accident and taken to hospital, Istanbul's governor Ali Yerlikaya said.

The Pegasus Airlines plane was carrying 177 people and six crew members, according to the Turkish Transportation Ministry.

"There has been no loss of life, the injured passengers are being evacuated off the plane to hospitals," Turkish transport minister Cahit Turan said.

Joe Biden is Trump's worst nightmare.

...Every time the word "Biden" is mentioned, most people will immediately think of Trump as a lying crook. Just the word "Biden." When Trump says, "I did nothing wrong" as he will in relation to that word, most will see Trump as a liar & crook that he is. The word "Biden" is the answer. If Joe is our nominee, then it isn't about someone's experience, what someone has done in the past, weather or not the person is qualified. If Joe is nominated, it is all about Trumps crooked behavior, and most times when Trump mentions "Biden" or you or I mention "Biden" to a friend or not friend, the thought is, "Trump is a crook, and tried to get dirt on Biden's son"
...We are not talking once in a while. We are talking why there was an impeachment, and what a crooked lying person Trump is. And when Trump says, "I did nothing wrong.", then he highlights his lying ability, over and over again.
...It is true that 25 percent or 35 percent will not be affected. They were going to vote for Trump anyway. But the rest of us, know what the word "Biden" means. It means the reason why Trump was impeached, and it means that Trump is evil and corrupt. Every time..
..We don't need an argument about whether or not the person is old enough or qualified enough to be President of the U.S. We don't need an argument about policy or economy. We need a constant argument that Trump is a corrupt asshole that will do anything to get elected. This word, "Biden" insures that it will be all about Trump as a corrupt, mean, vicious person to most of the population. It also insures our victory in November against Donald Trump. Remember, When Trump says, "I did nothing wrong," then he highlights himself as a liar & crook again. We all know Trump did something wrong..(or 65 percent know) and there he is lying again. Think about it carefully, That word is Trump's worst nightmare, and insures that Trump looses. And that is what most in the U.S.A. want: "A Trump loss"

Giving the "Medal of Freedom" to Rush, Cheapens Trump far more than Limbaugh.

...It doesn't cheapen the, "Medal" it defines the person who gives it. Rush is a well known person who hates those who are disabled, and puts down almost everyone who he disagrees with. He is the last person to get the "highest civilian honor."

...Real reason? Trump is trying to provide a positive message to his base. The rest of us don't agree for one moment that Limbaugh deserves a "Medal of Freedom." Trump has defined himself to the rest of us even stronger than before. Trump is who he is. He admires who he admires. (Hannity and Limbaugh)

If Collins votes to "acquit" then we must convict her in November. She needs to pay for this.

...Let her defend this vote in front of her voters. She will have a tough time. She is a do nothing stooge, who claims to be something. Yes, Collins will have plenty of money, but that is not why people win. This vote if followed through to acquit Trump, needs to be the rung in hell that she is sent to. Collins needs to lose, and lose big. She is the ultimate con artist just like Trump.

Cocktail of flu, HIV drugs appears to help fight coronavirus: Thai Doctors.

Reuters•February 02, 2020

BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thai doctors have seen success in treating severe cases of the new coronavirus with combination of medications for flu and HIV, with initial results showing vast improvement 48 hours after applying the treatment, they said on Sunday.

The doctors from Rajavithi Hospital in Bangkok said a new approach in coronavirus treatment had improved the condition of several patients under their care, including one 70-year-old Chinese woman from Wuhan who tested positive for the coronavirus for 10 days.

The drug treatment includes a mixture of anti-HIV drugs lopinavir and ritonavir, in combination with flu drug oseltamivir in large doses.

"This is not the cure, but the patient's condition has vastly improved. From testing positive for 10 days under our care, after applying this combination of medicine the test result became negative within 48 hours," Dr. Kriangska Atipornwanich, a lung specialist at Rajavithi, told reporters.

"The outlook is good but we still have to do more study to determine that this can be a standard treatment."

I really didn't make this up..It is true. Hit the link above. Yes, this person has apologized, but she is "STUPID" to do this. Just as "STUPID" as Donald Trump, and that says a whole lot.

Why they cannot "Fix" the next election. It won't be close because Trump is a "liar and a crook."

...They can fix an election and change results if it is close. If the vote is sixty percent for our candidate, and 40 percent for Trump, they cannot change the results to their cause. So tell everyone something that everyone already knows. "Trump is a liar and a crook. The Republican Party supports a liar and a crook." And now, everyone sees it. Sure, Trump will get 35 percent of the vote, but that is not enough. The crooks cannot change millions of votes in states where people are really mad. Oh, and if Trump gets 40 percent, that still will be millions short. As far as senators are concerned, it is the same. Republicans supported a "liar and a crook."
..Most of us, hate liars and crooks, especially arrogant, mean, and vicious crooks.

About Stuart G

I thought I knew a lot, and I found out... how little I knew about what I know...... ..... And how much more there is to learn, if I listen and read what others have to say.
