For the most part, yes.

No.

No. There are plenty of highly qualified black women available to
serve as Supreme Court judges.

Re: Friday Five February 6 -
1. Do you think the Canadian truckers convoy to Ottawa is the start of a revolution? I don't know if we want a revolution. We just want to take back the freedoms that have been taken from us. We don't want a Great Reset or a Build Back Better, we just want what we used to have, the freedom to live our lives without government tyranny. This is spreading all over the world. Convoys have been started or announced everywhere. I hope they are all successful. This is terribly important. Governments did not just become authoritarian and tyrannical because of the plague. Most of them are awash in the woke/CRT/Identity Marxism ideology, and a Marxist revolution has already been launched. What these governments have done was intentional to drive their revolution forward. I think the virus may have been set loose intentionally, specifically to serve this purpose. So a counter-revolution is a good thing for the convoys to become. If we don't win this, we will never free ourselves from the tyranny, evil and hate that these woke groups and governments represent, and plan to spread everywhere.
2. Do you think any money fraudulently dispersed as part of COVID relief will ever be retrieved? In Canada, Justin Trudeau is all about grabbing as much money as he can from the people. With him as PM, the Canada Revenue Agency has become very different, aggressively chasing after taxes. So they may also pursue the collection of funds that were sent to people who applied fraudulently. There's another whole category though, probably much larger, where the government itself spent money wildly and with abandon and where it should no have, and we will never get that back. When the fraud was perpetrated by the government itself, it will never be recovered.??
3. Do you think the unemployment insurance systems works as stated?No idea, have never received UI.
4. Have you ever had your email account hacked and held for ransom? No
5. Do you think Biden should consider nominating someone other than a Black woman to replace Justice Breyer? He should choose someone based on qualifications and ability. If that turns out to be a black woman, great. If it turns out to be a purple trans two-spirit person, also great, as long as they don't have the crap ideology to match. And if it turns out to be a white man, that's great too. What matters is the quality of their character and ability, not the colour of their skin or their sex. Of course. Pat

Re: Friday Five February 6 -
1.? Do you think the Canadian truckers convoy to Ottawa is the start of a revolution?
That seems like a reach for me. If you had asked whether it is symptomatic of growing civil unrest, I would have answered yes. Perhaps becauseI am not Canadian and so slightly insulated from the effects, I am not seeing it in itself as having quite that much impact.
2.? Do you think any money fraudulently dispersed as part of COVID relief will ever be retrieved?
I would have said no a year ago, but the news has lately had several instances of cold cases solved and January 6th perpetrators identified and followed up. It seems to me that the answer depends upon whether someone gets fired up enough to pursue it, and that?seems to be dependent upon politics and media spin. I think the topic makes a good political diversion from more problematic issues, so I would not be surprised to see a public figure take it up as a righteous battle cry.
3.? Do you think the unemployment insurance systems works as stated?
No? I have not personally collected unemployment since my twenties, but I know plenty of people who lived on it for some time during COVID. SInce many were from understaffed healthcare industry, I concluded it might have room for improvement.
4.? Have you ever had your email account hacked and held for ransom?
No.
5.? Do you think Biden should consider nominating someone other than a Black woman to replace Justice Breyer?
Yes. I think the recent increase in foci on race and also, in a parallel trend, vaccination status, has become divisive. It feels as though we have slid away from equality issues and into a contending for superiority.

Can you tell us the theme of his "I have a dream" speech??
I Have a Dream, speech by Martin Luther King, Jr., that was delivered on August 28, 1963, during the March on Washington. A call for equality and freedom, it became one of the defining moments of the civil rights movement and one of the most iconic speeches
in American history.?

4.??? How would you characterize the prevention and treatment protocols and use of medications for COVID infections??
Preventive measures include physical or social distancing, quarantining, ventilation of indoor spaces, covering coughs and sneezes, hand washing, and keeping unwashed hands away from the face. The use of face masks or coverings has been recommended in public
settings to minimize the risk of transmissions. Get vaccinated and do not forget a booster.

Rhonda,
That's a whole lot of misinformation that you posted. And you
didn't even bother to cite any sources (although I think we know
why). The hazards of using hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin as
treatment for COVID-19 are too high to risk any minimally possible
positive results (which probably are just correlation and not
causation) from using them.
There are, however, other drugs (such as remdesivir and paxlovid)
that are being used to treat COVID-19 patients successfully.
Aloha,
Celeste

What is the strangest treatment for COVID 19 you have heard
of yet?
The
non-treatment is the strangest thing, and total
reliance on vaccines, and even banning, outlawing,
and creating public campaigns to disparage
treatments that actually work, such as
hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin. It makes no
sense. The only explanation I can see is the pharma
companies paying kickbacks to politicians and
journalists to do their dirty work>>
The huge reliance on vaccines is because they work
immensely better than any other possible treatment.
Prevention is always better than treatment—always.
Hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, at best, have a
mild positive effect on COVID if taken with 3 – 5
days of first symptoms. They are not in any way a
miracle drug. If they were, a drug company would
have rebranded them and made millions off of the
product. It is just not true that drug companies
don’t make money off of generic drugs—obviously they
do, since billions of generic drug prescriptions are
sold each year. Drug companies have a lot of tricks
they use to rebrand a generic drug, and make brand
name profits off the drug. This is almost always
done with prescription drugs nowadays, once they
lose their original patent. Just one example is how
Xyzal came out once Zyrtec went off patent—these
drugs are essentially the same drug, even though
they are legally different. This can even be done
with drugs that never actually had a patent, such as
when a drug company decided to capitalize on the
studies showing the benefits of fish oil, and came
out with Lovaza—prescription only fish oil that
originally sold for $1,000 for a 30 day supply. Even
though fish oil could still be easily bought OTC
from a variety of sources, Lovaza made GSK over
$1,000,000,000/yr in the US alone when it first came
out. There are thousands of different drug companies
around the world, if hydroxychloroquine or
ivermectin actually worked, at least one of these
companies would have capitalized on it. There is no
reason why any pharmaceutical company would have
paid any politician or journalist (much less all of
the thousands of ones they would have to pay), to
state that hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin really
don’t work.
The reason the FDA came out against it, was
especially with hydroxychloroquine where so many
people rely on it for a quality of life, because so
many people were buying it for COVID treatments,
that there were huge shortages of these products,
and the people who needed these drugs for their FDA
approved conditions, could not obtain them. The
shortages have since been fixed with
hydroxychloroquine, as generic companies have ramped
up production of it, but ivermectin is still in very
short supply (since with the huge surge in COVID
cases, prescriptions for it have likewise ramped
up.)
It is not illegal for doctors to prescribe
hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin for COVID, even
though the evidence shows little to know benefit,
and many doctors do prescribe these drugs because
their patients request them.
