None of This Is Normal

Trump's loyalists seem to have worn Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi's patience out-

“Perhaps, you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn for what you just described.”

No FEMA tents outside the Vegas casino- before the outbreak started

It did not stay in Vegas- faith-based campaign event for President Donald Trump

A short video posted to Twitter by Faith and Freedom Coalition founder Ralph Reed
showed a “packed house” taking in a musical performance in the Ahern Hotel’s lobby.

500 people attended Thursday’s “Evangelicals for Trump” event at the Ahern Hotel
and Convention Center, which was headlined by the president’s pastor and spiritual
adviser, Paula White.

500 Adults choose to attend an entertainment in the hotel lobby-

The Trump campaign maintained that hotels are allowed to hold events at 50%
occupancy and are not subject to the 50-person event cap placed on churches
and other venues.

Students sent to school, during a surge in coronavirus spread- because Trump threatened
to remove funds to schools

No FEMA tents outside the school- before the outbreak started

Inevitable and about as predictable as Trump tweeting something offensive
during any given day. Paulding County high school is about an hour from
Atlanta, one of the worst hit states in the country. But they have one of those
kind of Governors, a Trump devotee, in Brian Kemp and they’re bound and
determined to open schools, whatever the costs.

The Paulding County high school that became infamous for hallways crowded
with unmasked students reported a half-dozen students and three staffers in the
school with COVID-19, the school district told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Saturday.

“At this time, we know there were six students and three staff members who were
in school for at least some time last week who have since reported to us that they
have tested positive,” says a letter from North Paulding High School Principal
Gabe Carmona to parents Saturday. A spokesman for the Paulding County
School District gave a copy of the letter to the AJC.

North Paulding High and its school district, which began the school year Monday,
made national news this past week after images of the crowded hallways went viral
after being posted to social media.

The U.S. budget deficit climbed to $2.81 trillion in the first 10 months
of the budget year, exceeding any on record, the Treasury Department
said Wednesday.

August 12, 2020 Trump's 2020 deficit will be double of any before it.

There you have it. Trump cannot possibly be the best at anything.

But, he can certainly be the worst.

America's Poison Control had their hands full after Trump made inquiries in public
about bleach and household cleansers as possible internal treatments for Covid-19

Housing and Urban Developement Ben Carson and The Pillow guy made headlines
suggesting that the FDA make it legal to sell a deadly ornamental plant as a health
supplement- like Trump's suggestion of a malaria treatment, and Lupus drug treatment,
oleander attacks the functions of the heart.

Oleandrin is a deadly plant poison, not a COVID-19 cure

Health Aug 18, 2020

I am concerned by recent reports that a chemical found in the oleander plant
is being touted as a potential treatment for COVID-19.

About the Oleander plant

Nerium oleander is a highly toxic plant from the Apocynaceae family.

Oleandrin is the chemical that causes the plant’s lethal toxicity.

It is known by scientists as a cardiac glycoside, a class of organic compounds
with a common feature: They exhibit powerful effects on heart tissue, often
with deadly consequences.

A pre-print article – that is, an article not peer-reviewed by other scientists – is now online. It reports how, in a test tube, oleandrin reduces production of the virus responsible for COVID-19. But this does not take into account the well-known cardiac toxicity of the chemical when consumed by an animal or human.

Particularly worrisome is the idea that consumers may misinterpret any publicity surrounding oleander and try to self-medicate with this highly poisonous plant.
I’m also concerned the dietary supplements industry may try to take advantage of the public’s fear of COVID-19 by developing supplements containing oleandrin.

It is critical that the Food and Drug Administration and its commissioner,
Dr. Stephen Hahn, make certain the public is protected from this poison.
