97 Mayo Clinic...

Edema is swelling caused by too much fluid trapped in the body's tissues. Edema can affect any part of the body. But it's more likely to show up in the legs and feet.

Medicines and pregnancy can cause edema. It also can be the result of a disease, such as congestive heart failure, kidney disease, venous insufficiency or cirrhosis of the liver.

Wearing compression garments and reducing salt in the diet often relieves edema. When a disease causes edema, the disease needs treatment, as well.

Dropsical is an adjective. Consider it to be analogous to whimsical.

Whimsical = full of whimsy

Dropsical = full of dropsy

Dropsy is an archaic medical term for swelling due to fluid accumulation, commonly thought of in olden days as the result of congestive heart failure, although there are numerous other causes. Edema is the modern day equivalent term for dropsy.

RFK jr highlights a study done on the unvaccinated Amish Community.
According to trends at the time there should have been about 2000 autism cases.
Yet they only found 3.
All of them adopted by the Amish after receiving their vaccines.



I wonder if other factors are involved. Primarily what the Amish eat. I’m guessing they don’t eat a lot of McDonalds or processed foods.

Joked around with them. Shared their meals. Told them to keep it down while he slept. He also joked that when he was freed, he would return and kill them all.

He was freed. Raised a force. Raided the pirate hideout and had them all crucified.

235 I was a little off in my story about Pompey vs. the pirates (fr. Wiki):

"Pompey led the decisive assault on their stronghold in Coracaesium, winning the Battle of Korakesion and concluding the war in only three months.

"Most of his opponents surrendered without fighting, thanks to Pompey's reputation for clemency. They were granted lands in cities devastated during the Mithridatic War, notably Soli, renamed Pompeiopolis, and Dyme in Greece, with others sent to towns in Libya and Calabria. These communities retained a strong attachment to both Rome and Pompey."

I suppose that was one way to do it. Personally I liked the idea of "Kill them all and let Jove sort them out."

He's down less than 5pct in an overwhelmingly Donk state, so, he's probably doing as well as be expected.

If Trump has a big national turnout, he could sweep this retard in on his coattails.

I bet if Hogan wins his victory speech will center around bi-partisanship and "getting things done." and also decidedly filled with TDS Twaddle.

PoliticsGirl @IAmPoliticsGirl There’s nothing in the Constitution that says the Supreme Court is the final word on what’s constitutional. They gave themselves that power with the Marbury v. Madison case in 1803. Maybe it’s time we re-litigate the precedent of “judicial review” Sam.

There is nothing in the Constitution that recognizes women for anything! It was a man's world and right now they want full control back. But, we are not going back!!

if you can recall back to the early-mid 60's, the same thing was said about the SCOTUS then - only it was the ultra-conservatives who thought Chief Justice Earl Warren was off his rocker. The difference between then and now is that the SCOTUS justices under Warren weren't playing politics, they were righting the racial wrongs of earlier generations. In some cases they might have overstepped, but that has been corrected in later rulings.

311 If you are going to discount Rasmussen you have to discount various Democratic-leaning polls, too. Morning Consult had the generic ballot in 2022 as D+5, I think. (It was R+3.) We can go through other examples.

The difficultly is that in 2016 and 2020, the vast majority of pollsters erred in a Democratic direction nationally, and in the Rust Belt states (among others). No guarantee that happens again, of course, but it has happened twice (in two opportunities).

Posted By Ian Schwartz

Speaker Emerita Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) talks about the nomination of Kamala Harris during an interview with Semafor's Kadia Goba.

"People could have jumped in," Pelosi told Goba. "There were some people who were sort of preparing but she just took off with it and actually it was a blessing because there wasn't that much time between then and the election and it sort of saved time."

"It wasn't that we didn't have an open president[ial primary]. It's just that nobody got in because she had a running start," Pelosi said.

=======

The Teamster's results weren't of a poll, but of a survey. This was an effort at getting real opinion, covering a very large proportion of a specific group of people. I'd call it one of the most believable results in "polling" we've seen over the past year.

And it reflects a collapse of working class support for Kamala compared to Biden.

Just the Teamsters, it's a 35% move which, out of 1.3 million members, represents 450,000 votes. What about the auto unions? Are they seeing similar changes? What about non-shop guys who just make their living paycheck to paycheck but have union supporting tendencies?

How is Kamala making up this lost support?

Well, one of those terrorist dirtbags could have given it to a 3 year old to play with. Also, terrorists have families, so exploding it can't control whether he's near his own kids or not.

In Japan it's a thing, if the bride's parents have no son for them to ask the groom to take their family name to allow it to carry on.

Particularly, if the bride's family has an established business or family fortune for the couple to inherit.

Not super common but not unusual either.

That's why I don't mind the e.g. Daily Mail report on how it was done. Too many idiots thinking [or lying?] that these were ordinary "cell phones" that any random buyer could buy at an outlet mall that were hacked and could have killed true innocents.

The pagers weren't frigging pipe-bombs but had necessarily-small 'personalized' charges in them; they were sold in bulk to terrorist agents who literally issued them to their "soldiers" as equipment; and the idea that 2 of the 9 dead out about 3,000 pager explosions were innocent children is going to require extraordinary proof.

This seems to be a talking point being pushed by the Commie fag Leftards. We saw it from 2 trolls here yesterday. And of course, it's completely at odds with the facts. The pagers were bought by Hezbollah, and distributed to their membership, so each explosion was targeted correctly. If some Hezbolloids were stupid enough to let their kids handle the hardware, then the consequences are on them.
