usaf-vet's JournalWe live in a town where we can get 95% of any family's needs. The other 5% is out of reach with the price...
.. of gas and car maintenance. SEAN DUFFY, FAA SEC, and his wife are taking his nine kids on a nationwide trip that only the millionaires and billionaires can afford. While the rest of us do the day-to-day work to keep communities running and safe, so they and only they can afford it.
We live in a town 60 miles or less from where Duffy was raised. All the towns in this region are struggling to keep their business running. And our town has been a vacation spot, but not anymore. On a short drive around our town, you see empty parking lots at restaurants and hotels because they lack "vacationers." Additionally, you see long-running family businesses closing their doors as they have lost customers and lost value for resale or to pass on to their kids.
Duffy and his wife may return to their jobs with the 10th kid on the way. THANKS TO THEIR TIME OFF! WHILE STILL BEING PAID!
Oh, did I mention his wife is a longtime FOX News talking head, while nannies have always cared for the kids?
By degree, I am a biologist. I value all life. I had to put off a home repair project because there was a nest of eggs and a sitting parent on the ladder steps.
YET As I see it, Republicans ONLY care about money and themselves. Their actions prove this point. Every day and every moment, they are in charge.
If we ALL don't get out and vote them out of power, we, ESPECIALLY YOUR KIDS AND GRAND KIDS, WILL BE THE ONES WHO SUFFER.
Stop believing their LIES. IGNORE THEIR SUGGESTION THAT NO TAX DOLLARS ARE BEING SPENT. DUFFY HAS A FEDERAL JOB. HE WAS NOMINATED BY TRUMP (aka tst) AND THE SENATE APPROVED. WHO IS DOING HIS JOB WHILE HE IS ON EXTENDED VACATION AND COLLECTING HIS PAY CHECK AND BENEFITS?
Shot fired at the "Correspondence Gathering" in DC Trump was at it to speak.
Past reports say he has NOT attend before as President.
He was denied by a judge to build his "GOLD BALLROOM.
HE IMMEDIATELY WHINED THAT HE NEEDS FOR HIS PROTECTION.
ANY BETS that he'll start SAYING SEE I NEED THE BALLROOM FOR MY PROTECTION.
How convenient he shows up to speak and some one fires shots. Staged do you think?
Just out of curiosity, when did this become the Animal Planet? There are more pets than politics.
I hope the kitties have a way out to save this Democracy.
For those of you who haven't figured it out yet, AI is a double-edged sword. It can be a fabulous.......
...... assistant when you are trying to deal with large amounts of data or just plain research on a topic you are interested in.
But it can also be used to TRICK people into believing made-up stories. "News" stories that fill the page of once legitimate news sources.
If you haven't noticed yet, it is starting to creep onto these pages.
If left to inadequate filtering and editing, it will take over once useful news sources until they are gone.
Don't say you weren't warned. See "George Will" on the front page. https://www.democraticunderground.com/100221023006
George Will and Rachel Maddow are two key news figures I have seen used in AI-generated news stories.
Something for consideration as a possible explanation of Trump's hand and the multiple days of testing.
Leqembi (generic name lecanemab) is an FDA-approved treatment for early Alzheimer’s disease and mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer’s. It is not a cure. Its purpose is to slow the rate of cognitive decline by reducing beta-amyloid plaque in the brain.
Leqembi is given as an intravenous infusion. The standard dosing schedule is one infusion every two weeks over approximately one hour. Treatment is ongoing and long-term. After about eighteen months, some patients may transition to less frequent IV dosing or weekly under-the-skin injections. This makes the regimen cyclic with repeated infusion visits.
Before starting treatment, patients are evaluated to confirm the diagnosis and determine safety. This can include cognitive testing, amyloid confirmation (PET scan or spinal fluid biomarkers), and a baseline MRI. APOE genetic testing may be used to determine risk for treatment-related complications.
Leqembi can cause ARIA (Amyloid-Related Imaging Abnormalities), which are changes visible on MRI involving brain swelling or small brain hemorrhages. Many cases have no symptoms, which is why scheduled MRI scans are built into the treatment plan.
Standard MRI monitoring includes:
A baseline MRI before the first infusion
Follow-up MRIs before the third, fifth, seventh, and fourteenth infusions
Additional MRI between the second and third infusion due to early-phase safety risk
More MRIs may be ordered if symptoms such as headaches or neurological changes occur.
Because Leqembi is administered through a peripheral IV line, usually in the hand or forearm, infusion-site bruising, mild swelling, or tenderness are common and expected with repeated access.
Follow-up may include:
Laboratory tests
Cognitive assessments
Physical and neurological exams
Drug name: Leqembi (lecanemab)
Mechanism: targeted removal of beta-amyloid plaque
Goal: slow cognitive decline in early disease
Modality: intravenous infusion
Interval: every two weeks
Safety monitoring: multiple scheduled MRIs
Infusion-site bruising is common
Here is a IDEA re-implement the draft. A drafted Department of War!
STOP AND THINK. about your family and what that would mean for ALL 18-35-year-olds.
STOP AND THINK. Why has it never been brought back since Vietnam? That was my time to serve, 1965-1969.
STOP AND THINK. WHY DO THEY WANT AN ALL-VOLUNTEER military? It grants them the political edge to say... , BUT IT IS AN ALL-VOLUNTEER FORCE!
STOP AND THINK. Recent numbers suggest that historically, only 1% of the population has served in the military.
STOP AND THINK about how they are going to put boots on the ground across the entire "Western Hemisphere": Greenland, Canada, America, Mexico, Cuba, South America (all of it).
Just asking! We all know the "Resolute Desk" left the Oval Office for "refinishing" ..... interesting!
Just asking who DOES THE "Resolute Desk" belong to?
This single paragraph should answer a lot of questions. What is going on with the guy in the WH?
Once treatment starts, doctors closely monitor patients through bi-weekly infusions, scheduled brain MRIs, and continuous symptom tracking, especially during the first 3 months when risks are highest.
MRI surveillance focuses on detecting ARIA—brain swelling or small bleeds—which can require pausing or stopping treatment.
Cognitive testing tracks the rate of decline, not improvement. Most critical safety signals come from caregiver observations between visits.
In practice, Leqembi is less about the infusion itself and more about ongoing imaging, vigilance, and risk management.
The pieces are there as described above. Just listen to the newscaster. They use these descriptive terms.
It shouldn't take a genius to understand what is happening, AND the current administration is lying about what they know.
Shaking hands is a lie. Hiding his right hand with his left hand or under the desk is a recurring fact.
