Officials have to scramble to cover misreporting of Trump's comments about UV light and disinfectant

Washington Post:

U.S. officials scramble to warn against bogus cure floated by Trump

Urgent bulletins were issued to tell the public of the potentially lethal dangers of injecting disinfectants. The FDA also issued a separate warning about an anti-malarial drug President Trump had championed.
The Trump-hating media tried to claim he suggested that people ingest disinfectants.  It is part of their continuing effort to disparage the President and is a real danger to the public because people might think they are serious.  Iran has had many fatalities because of the belief that ingesting alcohol will kill the virus, and dishonest reporters were suggesting that Trump thought that was a good idea.

What Trump really said is that medical professionals should look at ways to attack the virus with things that have been shown to shorten its half-life.  That is a huge difference from what some reporters said he meant.  In fact, some medical professionals are already looking at this type of treatment and it is showing progress.

As someone who has been around CEO's of various makeups, it is not that unusual for them to toss out ideas and get feedback from the professionals they deal with.  I think that is what Trump was doing.

What has become clear is that Trump's political enemies in the media are not going to deal with him fairly no matter what he says.  It is hot surprising that the Post would play this story the way they did.  They have been publishing false and misleading stories about the President since he was elected, starting with the Russian collusion hoax and then moving on the Ukraine impeachment show.  To my knowledge, the Post has never apologized for its part in the Russian collusion hoax.  At best they allowed themselves to be used by dishonest coup plotters in the deep state.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t...

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
