NPR. George FLoyd autopsy.

George Floyd was recovering from COVID-19, and had fentanyl and cannaboids, respiratory depressants, and methamphetamine, known to trigger fatal arrhythmia, in his bloodstream. He also carried the sickle cell trait, which can also contribute to respiratory collapse. Continue reading “It shouldn’t matter, but it will…” →

So much for peer review.

Posted without comment, just a nod of the head.

Two items of disinformation related to President Trump’s photo op in front of St. John’s church are debunked:

• The police did not use tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse protestors in Lafayette Park, nor were the protesters the police dispersed “peaceful.”

This woman is far from alone.

If you haven’t signed up for The Bulwark newsletter (free, babay!), you are missing out. It is not some left wing, namby-pamby, MSM website. Conservatives, including Bill Kristol, are part of it’s masthead. (OK, it’s Never-Trump conservatism, but hearkens back to better days, in a way) I strongly recommend it for it’s content and insights. It has given me a modicum of respect for the remaining conservatives out there.

Mitch McConnell blocked a resolution that condemned the order by the administration (Barr reportedly issued the order) to use tear gas and rubber bullets as well as other aggressive actions against PEACEFUL protesters.

“The Democratic resolution would also throw congressional support behind the right of Americans to protest peacefully and the belief that “violence and looting are unlawful, unacceptable and contrary to the purpose of peaceful protests.””

Perhaps cooler heads in the administration prevailed. Or his campaign manager called and told Mr. Trump that he was not helping his re-election bid. Photo-ops at religious places or not.

Once again, he threatens and then retreats when rhetorically punched in the nose. Definition of a bully.
