In today's super spreader news. New England Journal of Medicine editorial takes aim at Trump administration: "This election gives us the power to render judgment" BY KATHRYN WATSON UPDATED ON: OCTOBER 7, 2020 https://www.cbsnews.com/news/new-england-journal-of-medicine-editorial-says-election-gives-us-the-power-to-render-judgment/ The New England Journal of Medicine made a rare political move Wednesday, publishing an editorial by dozens of U.S. editors who denounced the Trump administration's handling of the coronavirus pandemic and said this election "gives us the power to render judgment." The editorial, titled "Dying in a Leadership Vacuum," does not explicitly endorse former Vice President Joe Biden, but the editors' message is clear — the current leadership must change. "Our current leaders have undercut trust in science and in government, causing damage that will certainly outlast them. Instead of relying on expertise, the administration has turned to uninformed 'opinion leaders' and charlatans who obscure the truth and facilitate the promulgation of outright lies," the editorial says. "Anyone else who recklessly squandered lives and money in this way would be suffering legal consequences," the editorial added. "Our leaders have largely claimed immunity for their actions. But this election gives us the power to render judgment." The editorial notes that, while some deaths in the U.S. were inevitable, tens of thousands could have been saved with a better response. Meanwhile, President Trump is claiming personal victory over the virus, saying he feels great as he presumably continues to still be shedding the virus. The president said it was a "blessing from God" that he contracted COVID-19, so he can encourage greater access for the experimental drugs he used. "I feel great. I feel like, perfect," the president said in a four-minute video posted to Twitter. "I think this was a blessing from God, that I caught it. This was a blessing in disguise. I caught it, I heard about this drug, I said let me take it, it was my suggestion. I said, let me take it. And it was incredible the way it worked, incredible. And I think if I didn't catch it, we'd be looking at that like a number of other drugs. But it really did a fantastic job. I want to get for you what I got. I'm going to make it free, you're not going to pay for it." Meanwhile, "isolation carts" have been set up in the West Wing, where staff can pull personal protective equipment in order to interact with the president. _____________________________________ Marine general has COVID after Pentagon meeting https://apnews.com/article/virus-outbreak-archive-gary-l-thomas-coast-guard-59e19109d15d6f10eeb0417ec961d80d 3 Likes

News from 'The City' in London. Market pressure eases as US fiscal policy and a Democratic win appear in focus Yahoo Finance UK Kumutha Ramanathan Contributor,Yahoo Finance UK•October 8, 2020 Investor confidence grew overnight following renewed hopes for a US stimulus deal and markets now pricing in a Democratic victory during the elections in November. On the Brexit front, the pound slid on Wednesday after reports emerged that the UK government was threatening to walk out of talks next week if a deal wasn’t clearly in focus by 15 October. However, as analysts pointed out in a note from Deutsche Bank on Thursday, “this simply echoed what UK prime minister Johnson had said back in early September,” explaining why sterling swiftly clawed back most of its losses. With European Council president Charles Michael tweeting that “the EU prefers a deal but not at any cost” Deutsche analysts added that they still hold out hope that progress can be made to extend talks. European markets opened in positive territory. The pan-European STOXX 600 (^STOXX) was up 0.7%. Germany’s DAX (^GDAXI) was up by 0.8%, and France’s CAC 40 (^FCHI) also tilted up by 0.6%. The FTSE 100 (^FTSE) was up by 0.3% in London. In Europe, COVID-19 concerns continue to rage in pockets throughout the continent. Scotland announced restrictions on Thursday, and there may be more coming in northern England. France and Spain have posted record increases in cases and further restrictions in Italy could come as travellers from the UK, Belgium, Netherlands, and Czech Republic may be subjected to testing before entering the country. In the US, vice presidential nominees Mike Pence and Kamala Harris clashed over the Trump administration’s handling of the COVID-19 outbreak in their debate on Wednesday. Climate change, China and the Supreme Court were also major points of contention. Various polls are showing Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s lead is widening in crucial battleground states. Before entering the debate, president Trump was down 9.5 points to former vice president Biden in fivethirtyeighty.com’s national polling averages. A Quinnipiac poll also showed the president was behind Biden by 13 and 11 points in Pennsylvania and Florida, respectively. Traders are gaining confidence that a stimulus deal is likely on its way. Trump said on Wednesday that he will resume talks after the election and further positive news came from house speaker Nancy Pelosi, who signalled that she was open to some form of partial measures, particularly for the airline industry. US futures are up. The S&P 500 (ES=F) was up by 0.7%, the Dow Jones (YM=F) was up by 0.7%, and the Nasdaq (NQ=F) went higher by 0.8%. Asian markets were mixed. Japan’s Nikkei (^N225) was up 1%, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng (^HSI) was down 0.4%, China’s Shanghai Composite (000001.SS) tilted down 0.2%. The KOSPI (^KOSPI) in South Korea was also up 0.2%. 3 Likes

LordReed: Snake little reed riding hood. You categorically said that this suya paper was drafted by America\s founding fathers. Thank God, you now know otherwise, you are gradually landing on SIGN/RATIFY, goodboy. The treaty was written by non-Americans from Tripoli. It was Not what America was founded or established on. It was just a business agreement between two parties. This point is still sustained. Thank God you also know now the difference between Christian religion and Christian principles. BTW, from your own link, The first U.S. President, George Washington, appointed his old colleague David Humphreys as Commissioner Plenipotentiary on March 30, 1795, in order to negotiate a treaty with the Barbary powers.[8] On February 10, 1796, Humphreys appointed Joel Barlow and Joseph Donaldson as "Junior Agents" to forge a "Treaty of Peace and Friendship".[9] Under Humphreys' authority, the treaty was signed at Tripoli on November 4, 1796, and certified at Algiers on January 3, 1797. Humphreys reviewed the treaty and approved it in Lisbon on February 10, 1797. Evidently, the suya paper was done by junior agents, not founding fathers. It was initially in arabic, where they were likely fooled by that sentence you hold dear. BTW, the same link you sent says. The official treaty was in Arabic, and a translated version by Consul-General Barlow was ratified by the United States on June 10, 1797. Article 11 of the treaty was said to have not been part of the original Arabic version of the treaty; in its place is a letter from the Dey of Algiers to the Pasha of Tripoli. However, it is the English text which was ratified by Congress. It is a translation of a PEACE treaty. The aim was achieved which was peace. It was written by Libyan Arabs, not America's founding fathers. That being said, let me tutor you on what the founding fathers actually did themselves, the declaration of Independence. Here are quotes from the Declation of Independence of the USA. It clearly showed their leanings toward GOD. They did not do away with God like you hope us to believe. From PREAMBLE We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. Introduction of the Declaration of independence. "When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation." Conclusion of declaration by founding fathers. "We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor." Here are the words of your founding father friend, John Adams. "I am apt to believe that [Independence Day] will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more." As we both know, The Declaration of Independence inspired many similar documents in other countries, the first being the 1789 Declaration of United Belgian States issued during the Brabant Revolution in the Austrian Netherlands. It also served as the primary model for numerous declarations of independence in Europe and Latin America, as well as Africa (Liberia) and Oceania (New Zealand) during the first half of the 19th century.So don't be bemused when we say that some so called atheist nations(like you claim) have their foundation in christian principles. The US holds its foundations on the christian principles of SERVICE(servant leaders), LIBERTY, EQUALITY, JUSTICE, and DUE PROCESS among others. The very fact that they were all of christian origin(and practising christians) shows where they took their principles from. They did not take it from Orunmila like you attempt to suggest. If anybody could have formulated them, why did they not formulate it in China and Russia and India and other countries not copying America or Europe? Your ilk will still come and argue that people are only christians because they are born in christian home. But you suddenly forget that christian principles have an impact on christian sinners who want to be "good". Jokers. 2 Likes |
