Rethuglicans really like being fake victims.

Eberly: By "medicine" I was referring to a broad use of the term. surgery, hospitals, etc....not just "medicine".

For surgery, I refer you to pre-Columbian trepanation. European "doctors" were centuries later in mastering it.

The Genius of their Age provides an overview of the life and works of Ibn Sina and Biruni from Central Asia. Both thinkers achieved stunning breakthroughs in various fields, such as medicine, astronomy, mathematics, philosophy, geography, and physics. Moreover, Biruni and Ibn Sina referenced the works of ancient Greeks and earlier Muslim thinkers to improve their respective canons. While Biruni produced precise measurements of the world, Ibn Sina's grand thesis of medical knowledge became the standard in Europe, the Middle East, and India for the next six centuries. The Genius of their Age also paints a picture of the Arab enlightenment by considering the age when Muslim scientists and philosophers from Central Asia anticipated the Western renaissance of science by half a millennium.

(I worked on this book too).

Biruni, who had never seen an ocean, predicted the existence of North America.

#8 Did you sleep through the results from November 4th?

'Tis like shooting fish in a barrel ...

-> Georgia voters ousted two Republican members of the state's Public Service Commission in favor of two Democrats"the first Democrats to win statewide nonfederal offices in decades.

-> Democrats in Mississippi Break the G.O.P.'s State House Supermajority

-> Every single county in Virginia - even deeply red counties - saw shifts TOWARDS the Democrats, as opposed to how they voted 1 year ago.

-> Dems flip Wichita School Board from a 4-3 GOP majority to a 5-2 Democratic majority. Democratic candidates Amy Warren and Amy Jensen defeated Republican incumbents Hazel Stabler and Kathy Bond.

->Two of Tuesday's school board elections were in Bucks County, Pa., which was considered "ground zero" for right-wing groups' takeover of school boards in 2021. A few years ago, conservatives on these boards in Pennbridge and Central Bucks districts were using their roles to pass policies targeting LGBTQ+ students and banning books.

---> Democrats flipped control of both boards in 2023, and on Tuesday, they ousted every Republican from both of these boards, except for one. The Pennbridge school board is now 8-1, with Democratic members in control. The Central Bucks school board is 9-0.

-> In Texas, we even won in Lockhart, which sits in a district so red that Democrats normally don't even run. We had a clean sweep in Cy-Fair ISD, another deeply red area that not even Greg Abbott could save your party.

-> In SD-9, another red district, we saw an 8 point shift for the Democrat

Why Left-Handed Eating Is Frowned Upon In The Middle East (May 2024)
www.foodrepublic.com

... In many parts of the world, it's not uncommon for hands to be the go-to utensils for enjoying a meal. For most of human history, hands have been the primary tool for most things, food consumption included.

Today, the tradition is governed by cultural etiquette rules in much of India, Africa, and the Middle East -- the birthplaces of human civilization. In majority-Muslim countries, Islamic doctrine dictates that food should be consumed with the right hand, a decree by the Prophet Muhammad that can be found in the Qur'an.

This is one of the reasons why in most Middle Eastern countries, the left and right hands have distinct purposes when it comes to activities involving cleanliness and consumption.

Custom dictates that the left hand should be reserved for bodily hygiene purposes, or "unclean" activities, while the right hand is favored for eating, greeting, and other such "clean" activities.

It's best practice to default to the right hand for gift-giving, handing over money, or greeting another person -- while the left is primarily for cleaning oneself.

For this reason, using the left hand to eat or shake someone's hand is considered not only unhygienic but potentially insulting as well. ...

The best source on this is actually Politico Playbook, but the link is paywalled.

here is the article on YT though:

Of course, there's no way Ukraine could possibly trust 'US Security Guarantees' with Vlad's Poodle in the WH.


Of course, none of you refute anything in the linked article. . It's ALL personal attacks. It's all any of you have these days.

SINCE you want a real refutation...

Trump's White House has...
1. Lost 200 civil cases already for violating the law
2. Crushed Free Speech by forcing people off the air, deporting anyone who disagrees with him, etc. and rewarding those who praise him
3. Used ICE without warrants or due process against non-citizens and citizens alike
4. Sent the National Guard after US citizens without cause
5. Enriched himself using the office of the presidency to the tune of billions
6. Pardon people who helped him cover up crimes, supported him, and donated to him BECAUSE they helped him cover up crimes, supported him, or donated to him
7. Encouraged his own people to go after anyone who disagrees with him including Judges
8. Weaponized the DOJ to file criminal charges so frivilous that they are about to be tossed out of Court already
9. Withheld Congressionally appointed funding in violation of the separation of powers
10. Accepted foreign gifts in the hundreds of millions of dollars
11. Used the FBI to remove Trump's name from criminal records involving pedophile Jeffrey Epstein

THESE are things that shred the safeguards of the Republic, not refusing to vote Yes on a spending bill because Republicans refuse to negotiate.

And YOU are whining like a little cry baby micropenis snowflake because Dems wanted two things added to the spending bill but refuse to hold anything against Republicans for refusing to negotiate or doing the same thing before themselves. The Republic isn't a One Party System. If Republicans refuse to negotiate, nothing will get done when it requires 60 votes. That's on them.

So Pedo Lover, do you want me to keep making you look like an idiot?

@#4 ... if there isnt dirt on Trump it's because the files were scrubbed. ...

Were they scrubbed?

The FBI Redacted Trump's Name in the Epstein Files (August 2025)
www.bloomberg.com

... What happened next kicked off a new phase in the Epstein saga. As I reported in the March 28th edition of FOIA Files, Patel directed FBI special agents from the New York and Washington field offices to join the bureau's FOIA employees at its sprawling Central Records Complex in Winchester, Virginia and another building a few miles away.

They were instructed to search for and review every single Epstein-related document and determine what could be released. That included a mountain of material accumulated by the FBI over nearly two decades, including grand jury testimony, prosecutors' case files, as well as tens of thousands of pages of the bureau's own investigative files on Epstein. It was a herculean task that involved as many as 1,000 FBI agents and other personnel pulling all-nighters while poring through more than 100,000 documents, according to a July letter from Senator Dick Durbin to Bondi. ...
