1.? Is the Iranian drone and ballistic missile attack on Israel a declaration of war?? Definitely - the question is who else is involved in the declaration.
2.? ?What do you recommend?the Israelis do?
Stand tall and take out as much of the Iranian military structure as possible.
3.? Is this the incident that is going to precipitate a full blown war in the Middle East?
I think such a war has been going on for years - it merely got really hot yesterday
4.? Will such a war extend beyond the Middle East?
Probably so
5.? What should the US do about this?
Enforce the embargo on Iranian oil exports - the best way would be to take out the loading facilities in the Arabian Sea.

? 1.? Is the Iranian drone and ballistic missile attack on Israel a declaration of war?
No more than any other action Iran has done over the past decades.
2.? ?What do you recommend?the Israelis do?
I think they should do nothing. Israel shouldn’t have attacked the Iranian consulate in Syria, but they did, so Iran retaliated. Now Israel should just drop it.
3.? Is this the incident that is going to precipitate a full blown war in the Middle East?
No, I don’t think this will.
4.? Will such a war extend beyond the Middle East?
If the Middle East breaks out in full blown war, then yes, I think the war will spread, and every country will be affected. I also think China will take advantage of such a distraction to move into Taiwan.
5.? What should the US do about this?
Keep talking to both sides and try to get them to stop fighting.

<<My doc is highly regarded.? Does open heart surgery and teaches.? He is not the only heart doc that has told me they can't write scripts for Valium. I've been doing my own research on afib.?

He can’t write you a prescription for valium, because you want the valium for a nerve problem. Heart doctors are only going to treat your heart, they specialize in that. Patients insurance will only reimburse them for treating the patient’s heart, and the doctor’s own liability insurance will only pay for them for treating the patients heart (or will charge them a higher premium for doing non-heart treatments.) Because valium is a controlled substance, the DEA closely watches controlled prescribing—especially if the prescribing does not match the doctors speciality. This is why your doctor said he’d lose his DEA license if he prescribed Valium (DEA license is completely separate from physician license, but losing a DEA license means a doctor can no longer prescribe any controlled substance, which would be a huge problem for a doctor who does surgeries)—and your was undoubtedly being hyperbolic, the DEA doesn’t pull DEA licenses because of 1 questionable prescription, but it would be a red flag.
What you need to do is to talk to either 1) a neurologist 2) a pain specialist or 3) your general physician about getting a prescription of Valium for your nerve problem. These types of doctors can evaluate you for your nerve problem and decided the best course of therapy. Heart doctors don’t treat nerve problems.
<<Seems they can only prescribe what the drug companies recommend.??>>
This is 100% incorrect for many reasons. 1) all drugs (including valium and all of its generics) are made by drug companies. All drug companies recommend their own drugs. Including generic companies—in fact if you look through trade magazines, generic manufacturers often run just as many ads as the brand manufacturers do. 2) Drug companies have ZERO say over what doctors prescribe, and even wineing/dining to bribe a doctor into prescribing their drugs has been extremely curtailed for over 20 years. 3) it is insurance companies that dictate what doctors prescribe in that the vast majority of patients will not pay for prescriptions out of pocket, so doctors must prescribe what people’s insurance pays—even if the doctor thinks it’s a lesser treatment for that patient, a lesser treatment is better than no treatment. ?

Re: More bad news - from Japan
TBil,
Well, it's interesting that you've provided zero evidence that
COVID-19 vaccines were responsible for any of your maladies. You've
noted some correlations, but provided nothing to indicate any
causation. So you have no valid reason to blame your vaccinations
for anything that has happened to you.

<<The VAX has certainly lowered my life expectancy. But I thot that was the idea. Obama said under Obamacare we'd all live a little less.>>
No, Obama didn't say that. And the various COVID vaccines (4 in the US, over 30 world-wide...some more effective than others) have all been extremely successful in stopping the death rate from COVID that actually lowered the average life expectancy. Even today with most having some "natural" immunity, deaths from COVID among the unvaxxed are far higher than among the vax, and still killing around 1000 people each week. Many people today are alive solely because they were vaccinated against COVID--with your having cancer, that very well could be the case for you.
<<My 3 problems from the VAX's [I had 3, needed them to travel] are long covid [brain fog, brain fatigue , boughts of anxiety], cancer, and heart afib.

It is impossible to catch long COVID from COVID, as COVID vaccines are not "live" vaccines. Also, there is no way that COVID could have cured your cancer, but if it had, why would that be a problem? And why would you want your heart doctor to prescribe you valium, how would valium help your heart? You are aware that doctor specialists routinely only treat and prescribe for their specialty? Your heart doctor *could* prescribe valium, if there were a reason it would help your heart, but as a heart doctor, he isn't going to prescribe you valium for other reasons.
Your symptoms of long COVID, would be from COVID. Unfortunately it is next to impossible to avoid contacting COVID, as it is year round, and few people take precautions to prevent spread. Covid vaccination helps, but it won't completely prevent catching COVID. Especially if someone has cancer, the vaccine is less likely to work, and the person will be even more susceptible to cancer.
<<I think my life expectancy would rise if I moved to Thailand. Or maybe India. Not Europe tho. They are about as bad as the US.>>
Life expectancy in India is 67 years (significantly less in than in the US), in Thailand is 78 years....slightly higher than then US 76 years, although drug overdoses bring down the US's life expectancy, I'm not sure that moving to Thailand will change your individual life expectancy. UK life expectancy is 80 years, France 82 years, Germany 81 years.....so if you think moving to a different country will improve your life expectancy, France or another European country would be the country to move to.

Re: Friday Five Aprill 12
1. Have you ever had a cat that terrorized your house?
Nope, can't say I have. All my cats have been sweet.
2. What one individuals single action prevented the most deaths in the 20th century?
Hmmmm, nobody acts in a vacuum, so its hard to come up with 1 individual's single action. I'll go with Vasily Arkhipov or Stanislav Petrov--2 different incidents, but both of them made the decision not to launch nuclear bombs, when they easily could have decided to with the information the had at hand.
3. Are you considering voting for a third party candidate for president this November?
Nope, for only the 2nd time ever I will be voting for a mainstream candidate, for 3 reasons. 1) Biden has done a tremendous job. Considering all he has to work through, I think he has been the best president in my lifetime. I want the US to continue moving up and above, so I will be voting for Biden. 2) The Republican candidate is a traitor and fascist of the worse degree. Trump promises nothing but destruction and retribution. The "project 2025" that supports Trump plans to destroy the separation of powers & the US Republic, and turn the US into a Christian Nationalist nation. Even if Biden weren't a great candidate, Trump and Project 2025 must be stopped for the future of the US. 3) I am becoming increasingly convinced that Trump is the biblical antichrist. Trump certainly meets all the biblical descriptions of the antichrist, and I'm not aware of anyone else in the past or present meeting those descriptions. If Trump is the biblical antichrist, then my vote won't stop him, but at least I will have a clear conscious that I did not vote for the antichrist. Certainly the evil and anti-biblical sentiments Trump stands for, is reason for Christians to consider voting against him, even if Trump isn't the antichrist.
4. What was the stupidest thing that happened to you this week?
On vacation and doing little, so nothing really stands out. I'm sure if I had been working and about, I would have had a story to tell.

Nope. I'm not even sure what that is. Tennis?

My cats have always been well behaved - maybe because I don't yell at them - and allow them to go outside as they want - so they can be what they are.

There is some thought that the fallout would not necessarily ruin the entire biosphere, depending upon the number and location of detonations. Battlefield airbursts would be closer to earthquake scenarios than radiation horror movies. Of course, we do not build school desks like we used to, either...,

1.? What was the silliest thing an adult told you to do as a child?
My mom used to tell me not to undress in front of the window because someone might look in to watch me. We lived in a rural area surrounded by cornfields, although our house was in the middle of cleared acre, with only 1 neighbor within half a mile. And that neighbor was an elderly woman.? The chances of someone driving out to a house in the middle of nowhere, creeping up over half and acre with no shrubbery or trees to hide behind, for the slim chance of catch someone undressing in front of a window for 2 minutes, was pretty much non-existent. My mother used to worry about all kinds of things, and pass those worries on to me, that I now realize as an adult were extremely unlikely to be a concern.
2.? Should preoperatve transexuals be allowed to compete in women's sporting events?
Generally no, although I’m OK with each sports sporting body deciding the rules for their individual sport.
I think only in cases if any physical advantage conferred by being a biological male would not be a concern, should preop transwomen be allowed to play on women’s teams. Like chess (but I guess that isn’t technically a sporting event.) Or darts, shooting sports, car racing, maybe volleyball teams, if each team had equal numbers of biological women and transwomen.
Now if we are talking transmen wanting to play in women’s sports….that is trickier. Taking testosterone would definitely give them an advantage, and that would be against the rules in most sports, but a transman is not going to have the biological advantages that a biological male would have.
3.? ?Should politicians be required to say out loud without a crib sheet the cost of a loaf of bread at the average supermarket?
Haha, no. First, the cost of bread is going to vary widely by area of the country. It will vary widely even by city vs rural grocery stores located just a few miles away.
Also, I have no idea what the average cost of a loaf of bread costs, many people don’t because 1) their spouse (and/or teenage children in my case) do a majority of the grocery shopping ?or 2) bread is considered more of a necessity than a luxury item, so if people are going to buy bread regardless of the cost, they may not bother to even look at the cost. This is true for me on the rare occasions I’m in the grocery buying bread….I will check the cost for soda, and look for sales in the frozen dinner departments, but milk and bread I’m going to buy regardless of cost, so I don’t check what they cost.
I think a politician should be aware of inflation, real wages, and the general percentage that the average or median person in their district is paying for necessities such as groceries, housing, healthcare. I see nationwide, the median income is $37,500 and the average person is spending 11% of that on groceries…although its not clear what size of households they are talking about. I’d expect a politician to be able to get more precise figures for the area of their state that they are serving.
4.? Should mailings about controversial subjects be subject to control under federal mailing laws?
There are already regulations concerning pornography and other sexually explicit mailings. Although I suppose most mailing of that type now deal over the internet, rather than through postal mail.
I think it would be difficult to define “controversial” for the purpose of other mailings. Religion can be very controversial…should all religious mailings have an age warning on them? That seems ludicrous, since minors are not prohibited from participating in the vast majority of religious services and practices. I’m actually not aware of any law prohibiting minors from participating in any religious ceremony, certainly they are allowed to drink alcohol during communion and smoke peyote during Native American ceremonies—even though they would not be allowed to do either outside of a religious context. ?
And as with pornography, I think any “controversial” subject would be far more accessible over the internet, than through postal mail.
So unless there something I’m missing, I would be against federal mailing laws being put in place over controversial subjects.
5.? Is the war in the Middle East about to expand?
I hope not. I honestly think its equally likely to go either way at this point.
