COVID-19 – causing death by cutting off oxygen and oxidation of the lungs?

April 9, 2020 Skip

Steve’s post that linked to a piece on Medium I would now label as cutting edge – the first time I had seen the angle that COVID-19’s real attack is to free up the iron ion located within the heme molecule that binds oxygen into the heme (e.g., hemoglobin) within your red blood cells. No … Read more

The Left’s Epidemic of Failures Continue – Why Trump Was Right and Chloroquine is The Game Changer

April 8, 2020April 8, 2020 Steve MacDonald

I say this often because it is true. Democrats destroy everything they touch. They can’t help it. Every motivation is political. Each action is meant to acquire more power. People, regardless of race or sex or age or even party affiliation, are tools. But hating Trump above all else will be their undoing.

“Optimism—even, and perhaps especially in the face of difficulty—has long been an American hallmark.” – Pamela Druckerman, Franco-American journalist and author Yes, an optimist sees a glass as half-full while a pessimist sees the same glass as half-empty.

A number of people are noticing that, just like the climate models (including the favs of the UN’s IPCC), they are running “hot” in that they are … Read more

A Majority of Doctors From 30 Countries Say hydroxychloroquine ‘Best Drug Currently Available’ to Treat COVID-19

July 10, 2020April 3, 2020 Steve MacDonald

I enjoy adding nails to liberal narrative coffins. In the age of Trump, it’s actually easy. TDS drives them to take the opposite position on nearly everything, so TDS begets TRE – Target Rich Environment. Hydroxychloroquine is one such recent beast. Dems from the Swamp to the media have protested it, but it works.

Utter Madness – Sununu Says He May Continue Lockdown for Months

April 1, 2020April 1, 2020 Ed Mosca

This: It’s the job of the press to be asking questions like: “and how do you know that?” And if the answer is: “the Murray model,” to point out that the Murray model has been vastly overestimating the impact of Coronavirus on New Hampshire. But instead we are getting something more along the lines of … Read more

The Gov. of Nevada did Not Ban Hydroxychloroquine

April 1, 2020 Steve MacDonald

One of the dangers of this hobby is an eagerness to share “news” without chasing stories to their source. We all fall prey to it now and again. A headline to copy with no links should be considered suspicious. Like the one about Democrat Gov. Steve Sisolak of Nevada banning Hydroxychloroquine.

More Suicides in Tennessee Last Week than COVID-19 Virus Deaths

March 29, 2020 Steve MacDonald

It is often said and not often enough repeated that the political response to the current pandemic (the cure) is worse than the disease. That keeping people home, out of work, quarantined, or confined will do more damage than letting the virus work its way and burn itself out.

March 29, 2020 Steve MacDonald

How do Democrats ‘Solve’ Their Joe Biden Problem?

March 30, 2020March 29, 2020 Steve MacDonald

With up to 86 million potential infections and over 12,000 deaths in the US, it might seem odd for the Biden Website to state that Joe “helped lead the Obama-Biden Administration’s effective response to the 2009 H1N1 pandemic.” Especially when he is also claiming he was never involved.
