A short observation about DU ads

I know it takes advertisement to keep this site up. But when a person visits DU and is not a Star member then they get pop up videos. If you try to hit the X button most of the time it takes you to the ad web page and doesn't close the video. Also if you close the video then in a few seconds a new ad video pops up. It makes the DU site unreadable in a smart phone.

Just an observation.

Does any one use the Dexcom G7 Continious Gluclose Monitor here?

I have found that with my accu-check Guide Me finger prick meter the Dexcom CGM is 60 to 100 units higher. I may just dump the Dexcom meter. If my glucose is 90 and the Dexcom is 180 I may overdose on insulin and have a low blood sugar event. Thanks for any input.

CIGNA Health Insurance wants to sell it's Medicare Advantage plan to non-profit health insurer HCSC.

They say that Medicare Advantage is a money losing proposition. The sale is planned for 2025 if regulators approve it. The story is at WSJ.COM

Who could have seen that coming????

The Media claim that Trump had a resounding victory in Iowa is false.

He captured 51% of 110,000 hard core republican voters. A new poll came out today that only 20% of the voters nationally will vote for him when he is convicted. Biden is going to waltz into a second term.

IMHO. YMMV.

He was agreeing with Alex's the globalists(jews) are taking over the world and spoke about space aliens.

He has jumped the shark.

Bernie Sanders Attempt to Have Biden Address high drug costs with NIH Director Appointment fails.

Sen. Bernie Sanders tried to rally Democrats and President Joe Biden to do more to lower drug prices just a year after they ordered Medicare to negotiate with pharma. None showed up.

The Vermont independent’s campaign took a blow on Wednesday as Democrats joined forces with Republicans to advance Biden’s pick to lead the National Institutes of Health over Sanders’ objections.

The Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee that Sanders chairs voted 15-6 to confirm Dr. Monica Bertagnolli, with five Republicans, including the panel’s ranking member Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, joining all 10 Democrats.

Democrats rejected Sanders’ case, that Bertagnolli had not demonstrated she would “take on the greed and power of the drug companies and health care industry and fight for the transformative changes the NIH needs at this critical moment.”

Congressman & House Speaker Mike Johnson has a podcast

I listened to half of his latest podcast and a guest talked about Senator Joe McCarthy as a good man.

Here is the link:

He has magical thinking about his god and about life in general.

IMHO.

Maybe it is time to enforce the no Israel/Palestine Rule?

People are calling for massacres of Palestinian civilians by denying them food and water. Just a thought.
