Steve Thomas Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 MAGA attacks on Kamala Harris' stepdaughter threaten to backfire on Donald Trump By Amanda Marcotte https://www.salon.com/2024/08/27/maga-on-kamala-harris-stepdaughter-threaten-to-backfire-on-donald/ There's a real downside to courting the incel vote. “They want to win over the worst men in the nation by appealing directly to their controlling, misogynist desires. In the process, however, they're creeping everyone else out.” Steve Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W. Niederhut Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Ozempic is truly fascinating. I think Trump has been taking it. Self-disclosure. I started taking the old, inexpensive oral hypoglycemic drug, Metformin, about ten years ago. I lost 30 lbs., almost all in my gut (i.e., greater omentum) and have kept my weight and glucose levels at normal levels for the past 10 years, with Metformin and exercise. Old studies showed that Metformin increased longevity in mice. Now look at this incredible GLP-1 data... 😲 Ozempic-like drugs will cure what ails you Kevin Drum August 25, 2024 This is pretty damn impressive: A 5-year observational study of ~12,000 individuals with obesity taking GLP-1 drugs (without diabetes) with propensity matched controls A significant reduction of all-cause mortality (HR 0.23, 95% CI 0.15, 0.34)https://t.co/mbYzzdtOEP pic.twitter.com/4hLCYbm0TS — Eric Topol (@EricTopol) August 25, 2024 Over the course of five years, obese people in the control group had a 3.5% chance of dying. Similar people in the group that took GLP-1 drugs (like Ozempic) had only a 0.75% chance of dying. What's more they found that the GLP-1 group had lower risk of ischemic heart disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, hypertension, stroke, atrial fibrillation, acute kidney injury, and allergic reactions. They're going to start putting this stuff in the water supply before long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Allison Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Ken Paxton should have been sent to prison long ago. But he wasn't, and him not facing consequences has resulted in emboldening him to do things like this: "One of the activists targeted was 87-year-old Lidia Martinez of San Antonio, a LULAC member for more that 35 years who works to expand voter registration for seniors and veterans. Last Tuesday, she said nine officers in tactical gear knocked on her door, presented a warrant, and questioned her for more than three hours. They took her phone, calendar, computer, blank voter registration forms, and her certificate to conduct voter registration. https://newrepublic.com/post/185326/ken-paxton-voter-fraud-crusade-texas-democrats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Thomas Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Donald Trump - “(Mark) Zuckerberg admits that the White House pushed to SUPPRESS HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP STORY (& much more!). IN OTHER WORDS, THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION WAS RIGGED.” “This is what everyone’s been waiting for — THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION WAS RIGGED!" This is horrible, terrible news. Let's find out who was the President in charge of the White House in 2020 and hold them responsible! Steve Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W.- may I ask how you manage sugar intake in your system; as in do you add it to coffee? Matt, I use sugar sparingly. I try to avoid ice cream, sugary drinks, and the "whites"-- potatoes, white rice, white bread, etc. Using that approach, and Metformin, I've been able to stay on the type II borderline, with HbA1Cs at 5.9 to 6.0 for the past decade.

They're going to start putting this stuff in the water supply before long. That's interesting W. I've been thinking of taking one of these to lose 35 lbs. I'm concerned about 2 things. 1)The loss of muscle mass. And 2) With the side effects I've heard, Would I have to take it for life? This weight gain happened as result of selling my house in late 2019 and traveling. found myself in hotels eating out a lot. Then one day, I was able to weight myself and I was up 35 Lbs. even though honestly I felt no different and I was physically just as active. So I feel I had a "set weight" that was constant for 15 years. So if I could get back there, I wonder if I could stay at that weight and discontinue usage? I immediately stopped eating out so much and if I travel in car I carry a rice cooker and buy vegetables and fish. Hotels since covid are much more likely to now have to have refrig and microwave now, so Iv'e kept my diet constant to what it was before. Still the most I've lost is 5-10 lbs. So metformin is not a GLP-1? I've been told by my physician that I could get wegovy for $250 a month. That strikes me as a somewhat high, considering I don't feel any different, but I should really start looking ahead. Whatever info you can give me W. would be greatly appreciated!

Steve Thomas Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 (edited) 15 minutes ago, W. Niederhut said: Matt, Using that approach, and Metformin, W, Did you run into a shortage this last winter? My wife was on Metformin and later, Jardiance and when people found out they could use it as a weight-loss drug, people started flocking to it. Supplies were short and the prices skyrocketed. She was finally able to get a line on some Ozempic, but has been having a hard time getting it regulated.
