    1. They threw their support behind a revolting career criminal and now, the Republicans are going to pay for it. It’s time for their evil party to be annihilated, once and for all.

    2. Meh…they have plenty of brown shirts packed away in boxes just waiting for tRump to give the word to hand them out to the boys.

    3. *Steve Moore: Trump economy is really experiencing a middle-class boom — this data doesn’t lie*
      Nov 2019 https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/steve-moore-trump-economy-is-really-experiencing-a-middle-class-boom-this-data-doesnt-lie

      *I recently wrote op-eds that ran in the Wall Street Journal and on these pages that showed median household incomes under Donald Trump have soared from $61,000 to an all-time high of $66,000 in less than three years into the Trump presidency. This is tremendous news and documents substantial middle-class prosperity in Trump’s first three years in office.*

      The $5,003 rise in middle-class incomes is especially impressive given that incomes only rose by $1,200 in the seven years under Obama — after the recession ended.

      If the media, liberal think tanks and Democrats in Congress were truly concerned about the economic well-being of “hard-working families,” as Elizabeth Warren likes to say, they would have cheered to the rafters this amazing news of rising incomes for nearly all groups.

      Instead, the left has chosen to either ignore this story altogether or to denounce these findings, which come from the gold standard of economic data, the U.S. Census Bureau.

    4. @Keith Johnson – Shelby GT500 the current death toll from corona is 212,406. All you’re trying to appeal to is greed. Does greed define the USA?

  1. Im surprised mcconell chooses to become perturbed only now…. when he has been enabling this trump all the time

    1. @Freewheelin’ Franklin I wish that were true about his chances in KY, but he’s still unfortunately polling comfortably. Here are REAL KY voting STATS to show just how beatable he could be :
      • 4.5 million population, 3.4 million registered voters: 48% (R) 42% (D) 9% (I).
      • 2014 Elections results : McConnell won with only 806,787 votes to 584,698 for the Dem challenger.
      • He is beatable if just 2/3rds of the KY Democrats would/could vote.

    3. @Freewheelin’ Franklin Good, if I could I would also be shouting Moscow Mitch every time he showed his ugly mug anywhere.

  2. Trump knows he is going down and he wants to take the Republicans down with him! If I lose we all lose is his mindset.

  3. Other dictators support Trump, that’s why Trump writes love letters to Kim Jong-Un and is Putin’s puppy.

  4. Trump is so dumb that he could not figure out in the debate when it was his time to answer, interrupting Biden all the time.

    1. God is with Danal Tramp God put Danal Tramp president. Because he is ready to come back to the his chorchi?.

  5. Trump is so dumb that he could not figure out in the debate when it was his time to answer, interrupting Biden all the time.

    1. He looked coked up too. It was hard for him to decipher his time to talk, but he was also “On” or high, and was speaking very fast, and created the mess. Go back and look and see his talking speed and his inability to be still.

    2. He is not dumb at that time. He just a bully and want to rob another person time to talk. Shame that we have this bully to represent USA.

    1. The entire Republican Party is racist, they’re just mad because Trump isn’t bothering to disguise it.

    2. @Satta 777 Dixiecrats all fled the party and Repugs have used voter suppression and the southern strategy since 1964. I wonder what caused that? Hmmm 🤔

    3. @Fake Name
      Russian troll. Joe Biden is not in China’s pocket, it seems to be buried that Trump manufacture his ties in china, vietnam, phillipines, all three shithole countries.

    4. That is exactly what I HAVE been saying, yet they still align themselves with the world’s ugliest subhuman alien from another planet. All those poor alien brainwashed morons The Mother ship can beam them up now and give them a good probing from behind. Trump Alien Klan fu*&ed America in the end, now it’s their turn.

  6. There is no more room for ambiguity. If you vote for Trump, you support white supremacy. It really is that clear cut now.

      A blog reader said he had high hopes that he would read a blog from me that resisted any mention of my favorite supplement, magnesium. Then he wanted to know if he really needed a magnesium supplement if he eats lots of green veggies. Well, I’m very sorry but the magnesium blog keeps chugging along fueled by constant input from magnesium fans. And yes, I think that everyone needs more magnesium in spite of a good diet. I know I do.

      One reader wrote: “Another disease you can add to your list that’s caused by magnesium deficiency is pseudogout (CPPD). I had calcium crystals in both knees, both ankles and my left wrist. Within three days of starting magnesium the pain in my left wrist started going away.” He said he found an article in Medical Hypotheses that reported Vitamin B1 (thiamine) needs sufficient magnesium to create thiamine pyrophosphate, but when magnesium is deficient calcium pyrophosphate is produced instead. He asked me to add this information to my website so it can help others regain their quality of life as he has.

      I think the following report is even more amazing. “I want to tell you a wonderful thing about Magnesium. I had pyorrhea and gingivitis for years. When I started taking magnesium the pyorrhea and gingivitis cleared up. Then I noticed my right front cuspid was thinner than the left but there was also a diagonal chip in the left cuspid. I began a regimen of brushing my teeth with magnesium and within 3 months the tooth had remineralized. Both teeth are fine and the right cuspid that was thinner is now normal. It truly is a miracle mineral. I told my dentist about it but really, he didn’t pay attention. Professionals think it’s some kind of idiocy. When will they wake up?”

      The type of magnesium to use on your toothbrush is magnesium oil. This is a supersaturated magnesium chloride (from sea water) in distilled water.

      I use LL’s Ancient Minerals Magnesium Oil because I know it’s safe without contaminants.

      Just put a few drops on a toothbrush and brush well.

      I use some of my regular, natural tooth paste; and spray some mag oil from a small spray bottle. One or two sprays will do.

      Some people use baking soda along with the mag oil.

      Some people floss first.

      Some dilute the oil if it’s too strong.

      Some also gargle with a few drops of magnesium oil in water for gingivitis.

      However, if you have mercury fillings, I would not use magnesium in the mouth. Magnesium pulls out toxic metals and could pull mercury into your mouth which you might then swallow.

      All in all, the results from using magnesium oil for dental hygiene are impressive.

      Another blog reader wrote that his mother is on a lot of medications but he got her taking magnesium. He said, “After her first dose she said that she later had a really good BM–and felt 10 years younger. WOW–that makes me feel it’s really worth it to remind her to take it—she’s almost 89 years old.

      Even multiple sclerosis can respond to magnesium. A blog reader wrote the following. “As an MS patient I was blown away to find that after only two days on magnesium citrate, several of my symptoms disappeared to the point that I am more of a functioning woman.”

      What about migraines? Here is a newly published article in the Journal of Neural Transmission. It’s called Why All Migraine Patients Should Be Treated With Magnesium. The lead author is Dr. A. Mauskop who runs the New York Headache Center and has written many papers on magnesium and migraines. I quoted him in my Magnesium Miracle book. You can read the abstract of his paper which he ends by saying “…the fact that magnesium deficiency may be present in up to half of migraine patients, and that routine blood tests are not indicative of magnesium status, empiric treatment with at least oral magnesium is warranted in all migraine sufferers.” That’s a pretty clear directive that you don’t often see in journal articles…usually they say, we need more funding to research this further!

      Abstract
      AIM: This registry study aimed to evaluate the effects of supplementation with pycnogenol on altered endothelial function (EF) in borderline hypertensive, hyperlipidemic and hyperglycemic subjects without atherosclerotic changes in their main arteries and no coronary artery disease.
      METHODS:

      Flow mediated dilatation (FMD) and endothelium-independent (EID) dilatation were measured with brachial ultrasound after occlusion. Also, after occlusion, laser Doppler (LDF) flux and distal straingauge flow were measured. Oxidative stress (oxstress) was evaluated at 8 and 12 weeks. 93 subjects with borderline symptoms were enrolled into the study: 32 hypertensives, 31 hyperlipidemics, 30 hyperglycemics. All participants were instructed to follow the best available management to control their symptoms. In addition to best management, half of the subjects in each group used 150 mg/day Pycnogenol(®). 31 normal subjects were included as control.
      RESULTS:
      After 12 weeks metabolic values and blood pressure were back to normal in all subjects. Values were slightly better under Pycnogenol(®). FMD increased after 8 weeks from an average 5.3;3.4% to 8.2;2.2% with a further increase to 8.8;3.1% (P<0.05) at 12 weeks. No effects were found in controls and normal subjects. EID of normal subjects was consistently higher with 26%. LDF skin flux increased with Pycnogenol(®) at 8 weeks and 12 weeks. The final flux increase was not different from normal values. In controls flux after occlusion was not improved at 8 weeks; there was a significant but minor increase at 12 weeks. Flux increases were superior in all Pycnogenol(®) subjects. In Pycnogenol(®) subjects, limb flow after occlusion increased at 8 weeks with a further increase at 12 weeks. In controls inclusion flow after occlusion was comparable at 8 and 12 weeks. Oxidative stress was significantly decreased in Pycnogenol(®) subjects at 8 and 12 weeks. Minor differences were observed in controls.
      CONCLUSION:
      This open registry study indicates that Pycnogenol(®) improves EF in preclinical, borderline subjects in a macro-microcirculatory model. This observation may suggest an important preventive possibility for borderline hypertensive, hyperglycemic and hyperlipidemic subjects.

      Abstract
      Pycnogenol is a standardized extract from the bark of the French maritime pine. The aim of the present systematic review and meta-analysis was to clarify the effect of Pycnogenol supplementation on C-reactive protein (CRP) concentration. To identify eligible studies in order to find clinical trials which examined the effect of Pycnogenol supplementation on the level of CRP in adult participants, PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar were systematically searched until December 2017. Mean of CRP was collected to estimate the effect size of the supplementation. Potential sources of heterogeneity were explored by subgroup analysis. Five trials including 324 participants were included in this meta-analysis.

      Pooled effect size showed significant effect of Pycnogenol supplementation on CRP (-1.22 mg/dL, 95% confidence interval, -2.43, -0.003; I2 = 99%, pheterogeneity < 0.001). When the meta-analysis was subgrouped by dose of Pycnogenol, heterogeneity was attenuated in > 150 mg/d category (I2 = 0.0%, p = 0.42). There was significant difference between-subgroup heterogeneity (p < 0.001). Furthermore, no evidence of publication bias for CRP (p = 0.27, Begg's test and p = 0.62, Egger's test) was seen. Present systematic review and meta-analysis suggested Pycnogenol consumption can decrease the level of CRP and have anti-inflammatory effect. So, Pycnogenol as an anti-inflammatory agent might be a priority in interventions. Further studies with large-scale and better design are needed to confirm this result.

      Variations in Echogenicity in Carotid and Femoral Atherosclerotic Plaques with Pycnogenol + Centella Asiatica Supplementation

      Gianni Belcaro, PhD and Umberto Cornelli, MD
      Additional article information
      Abstract
      This registry study evaluated echogenicity of carotid–femoral plaques in asymptomatic subjects with increased oxidative stress and risk factors (mild hypertension, hypercholesterolemia). Supplementation with the combination Pycnogenol–CA (centella asiatica) on the echogenicity of plaques was assessed at 6 months (79 subjects). A standard management (SM) plan was used in all subjects (control of risk factors, lifestyle changes); 36 subjects used the supplements +SM; 43 SM only. The groups were comparable. High-resolution ultrasound evaluated echogenicity and plaque structure. Pycnogenol (150 mg/day) and CA (Centellicum, 450 mg/day) were used.

      At 6 months, cholesterol was reduced (p < 0.05) in both groups (difference between groups not significant). At 6 months, plasma free radicals were decreased with the supplements (17.64%; p < 0.05; vs <2% in controls). The plaque stability index increased from 11.22;2.3 to 22.4;1.1 (p < 0.05) with the supplements; no significant changes were seen in controls. Plaque echogenicity (% of “whiter” component in images) increased with supplementation from 16.7;1.7% to 34.2;2% (p < 0.05); no variations were observed in controls. The maximum plaque height decreased (p < 0.05) with the supplements. No significant variations were observed in controls. Plaque length was decreased (p < 0.05) in the supplement group with no changes in controls. The number of plaques (carotid, femoral bifurcations) decreased with supplementation; no significant changes were observed in controls. No adverse events, tolerability problems, or variations in routine blood tests were recorded. The combination Pycnogenol–CA appears to improve echogenicity and stability of complex plaques in six months.

  7. Hes only perturbed because his party may lose the presidency aka power. He’s not actually perturbed by what trump said

    1. Just like Trump, only desperately hanging on to the presidency to circumvent prosecution, unfortunately for him, I don’t think Cy Vance and Leticia Jaymes care whether he’s still president or not!

    2. He bought the ticket and now it’s time to take the ride. It’s not the ride he expected, but that’s his problem and soon he won’t be ours anymore.

    1. I don’t understand why people cannot accept this fact.

      The racist history of Trump is well documented.

    2. His rhetoric back in the late 80’s led to the race related murder of Yusef Hawkins (summer 1989) in Brooklyn.

    3. Google the Central Park Five incident in New York. 4 Black males and 1 Latino. Even though their DNA proved their innocence, Trump still wanted them hanged. They spent many years in Prison for a crime that they didn’t commit.

    4. @Coco Like his full page add in a NY newspaper calling for the execution of 4 black men…. Who it turned out: were innocent.

  8. One by one, the rats are leaving the sinking trump-ship.
    They know when it goes down it’ll take them with it.

    1. @Chris Anaxagoras I’m not from KY nor do I live there. I’m just a data junkie and REALLY want to feel some sense of hope in this country again, so I’ve been obsessing with sharing relevant data in place of so much nonsense online. Trump, McConnell, Fox News, they ALL gotta go.

    2. Your plea would work if there were decent republicans in KY, but the sad thing is that people approve of what McConnell and Trump have been doing

    3. @Eloise Hall
      America is a criminal enterprise. You think it an accident that your political candidates are so disgustingly dishonest and incompetent? It’s not just bad luck, it’s designed that way for the benefit of the wealthy few.
      Look at Trump/Biden, that’s really the best America has to offer?????
      It’s risible. It’s pathetic.

    4. @Lee Offshore So much ideology being passed through generations of incessant inbreeding down there and Mitch McConnel knows this…… lol

  9. USA citizens has to convince other citizens to VOTE. Vote that hoax president away from White house.

    1. Exactly! Trump is the monster they enabled, indulged, defended and now they can’t control him. Best to VOTE BLUE!

  10. The only RINOs are Trump and his followers. Fascists and racists pretending to be protectors of the free world. But their mask has come down now.

  11. your friend thinks, ” I’m not racist, I just support trump” doesn’t realize they are giving racism a pass then..

    1. I have an absolutely perfect racist mind. Nobody has ever seen a racist like me. Even all the most racist tell me mine is perfect, they say they have never seen anything like before I came along😂

    2. @Jason Stephens
      And I have done more for racism in the 4 years I have been in the WH, no one have done more for the blacks, no other president in history and if I get another 4 years I will increase my assault on them until I can get them to leave and MAGA!!!
