The FDA is not reducing funding for medical devices, according to a news article I read a few days ago.

I read on Apple News two days ago that the medical device section will not be affected. Make of that what you will.

Never give up. I was born prematurely and never had a father. My mom raised me, and we were dirt poor. I was kicked out of high school, then drafted and sent to Vietnam, where I saw combat. After I got out, I became an alcoholic. But something changed—someone at the unemployment office helped...

Almost half of the FDA’s funding comes from corporate user fees, while the rest is provided by Congress. I am not here to defend Trump or Musk. The truth is we do not know what is causing the delay.

People are overreacting because the former president was elected again. Some refer to this as “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

In 2022, 46% of their budget came from regulated industry user fees, while the remaining portion was funded by the congressional budget.

Definitely living in a clown world.

Same here. I’m 75. I am glad it’ll be over soon.

That’s what I’m thinking. Even though the devices are different, the FDA may be more cautious about approving the Shore device after witnessing the failure of Lenire.

Looking glum.

A majority of the funding for the FDA comes from drug companies. That should tell you something. If Trump goes after the drug companies, that’s not going to hurt my feelings.

This has already been exposed as a smear campaign. The article was published in The Atlantic, a magazine whose owner is a significant donor to the Harris campaign. Nice try, though.

Anybody who votes for Harris will have to step over 240K bodies buried in the rubble of Gaza to get to the voting booth.

Thanks, @Luman.

If voting mattered, they wouldn't let us do it. — Mark Twain

You are talking apples and oranges, my friend.

Illegal immigrants have taken over an entire apartment complex in Colorado. I don't recall ever hearing of citizens or legal residents doing something like this. What’s new is that the U.S. seems determined to engage in conflict with Russia and destabilize the entire Middle East, with no...

It doesn’t seem to bother the maniacs in charge that they’re driving us into a nuclear war.

Mainstream news is partly responsible for the attempts on Trump's life by amplifying ridiculous claims that he’s another Hitler and wants to end democracy.

News flash: Biden and Harris are tied at the hip through the neocon agenda. Why do you think war criminal Dick Cheney endorsed Harris? Biden also knows—or knew when he was more mentally sharp—that Social Security and Medicare are the "third rail" of politics, untouchable by either Republicans or...

I was referring to the deep state that controls both political parties. The deep state does not like Trump because they cannot control him. They know that Harris, as a puppet, will follow the neocon agenda of endless wars. As I mentioned in a previous post, you can find YouTube videos of Biden...

Biden has supported cutting Social Security and Medicare for years. You can find some of his speeches on the Senate floor, available on YouTube. He is no friend to the working people of America, and I don't expect Harris to be any different. Trump, on the other hand, is not beholden to special...

I don’t think the debate changed anyone’s mind on who they’re going to vote for. The election will still be close.

I don’t think she was ever truly progressive. Take a look at her record as Attorney General: she kept people in prison beyond their sentences just so California could benefit from cheap or nearly free labor for firefighting. She also left a man on death row to suffer, despite knowing he was...

Dick Cheney, a war criminal and a neocon, just endorsed Harris. That should tell you something.

I left the Democratic Party when they stopped supporting the working man right around Bill Clinton’s time.

There was no primary. The DNC selected her.

The deep state does not pick smart people for a reason.

I could not have said it better.

Color me surprised.

I don’t think they can discriminate. I worked for a county agency for 30 years, and you would not believe the people they hired. Everything from ex-felons to morbidly obese. Give it a try. Nothing to lose, everything to gain.

Have you considered working for a government agency as an employee or a contractor?

There’s the right way, the wrong way, and the Army way.

Add leaf blowers and air horns to the list of things I live in fear of.

Looking on the bright side, I’ll be dead by then.

This is not the 80s, and the Russian government is no longer communist. Try and keep up.

So you’ll be happy when we have a nuclear war. That's really smart there, buddy.

Remember when the Clintons and the news outlets used to slobber all over Trump when he was a Democrat? I do.

What exactly are the Democrats waiting for? Obama had plenty of time to get us Medicare for all when the Democrats had full control of the Senate and House. Instead, he gave us Romney Care.

It’s not his age, it’s his cognitive abilities. He was clearly pumped up on some drugs during the State of the Union. If you think we’re living in a democracy, I have a bridge I want to sell you.

I don’t know. It seems like he’s done his homework.

Trump’s not the president, Biden is. Biden gets the credit for destroying the Republic for now.

The problem is that the US government has been captured by corporations. There is no longer a democracy, only an oligarchy. The politicians represent special interests, not the people who elect them.

I’m not voting for either one of these clowns. I don’t owe Biden my vote. If you look around, you will see poverty, servitude, and slavery by both parties refusing to raise wages. At least Trump doesn’t seem eager to start wars like Biden. Too bad Ms. Reade was threatened and had to flee the...

Maybe the medical community doesn’t give a shit about us? That’s the impression I get from the ones I have dealt with.

He’s going to need them to fight all the wars he’s started.

I’m just glad I’m old. I may only have to put up with this torture 5 years at the most before I kick the bucket.

Two old men arguing over a cold bowl of soup. Neither party is working for you or me. Arguing amongst each other is exactly what the politicians want. They thrive on chaos. If you’re waiting for a politician or political party to save us you’ll be waiting a long time. Really the only hope we...

Russia has no intention of invading NATO. This is a proxy war cooked up by the US and the Ukraine Neo-Nazis to launder money. It’s almost like Biden wants to destroy the country from within. It’s all over YouTube. Obama has said that he’s a 1980’s Republican. That guy never governed as a...

Unfortunately Vivek has been caught plagiarizing Obama speeches almost word for word. You can view them on YouTube. Just another used car salesman. What’s unbelievable is the Democrats think they can win with a demented pervert who himself has been accused of rape, certainly a more serious...

See your urologist to check if they have the ultrasound treatment for ED available. The treatment is painless and will last six months. I haven’t tried it myself but it seems to have good results.

What makes you say that?

So is Prof. Tzounopoulos on the grift?

Nah, the medical industrial complex are making money hand over fist. IMHO.

I would think you would have to be convicted in a court of law first before getting banned. Seems too Banana Republic to me. Why didn’t the federal prosecutor Jack Smith charge Trump when he had the chance?

So the MSN is trumpeting that the Russia has lost 90 % of its army but, on the other hand, Russia is going to take over Europe! Which talking point is it? How is Russia going to do that if their army is gone. The only winners in this proxy war are the defense contractors.

They are stuck in the 50s (the 1850s).

Muslim voters organize swing state boycott. Bye, bye Joe. It’s called Trump Derangement Syndrome. Most of the limousine liberals and people that watch MSNBC and CNN lost their shit over Trump. Biden’s track record is far worse than Trump’s. Inflation war, crumbling roads and bridges, homeless...

I stand corrected. I was wrong on the report of Zelensky buying 2 yachts and I apologize for that. This does not change the fact that Ukraine is the most corrupt country in Europe.
