Doctor’s Gaza Experience Brings MSNBC’s Joy Reid To Tears

Jon Stewart on Tucker Carlson’s Putin Interview & Trip to Russia | The Daily Show

One thing that Jon did not point out.  While Tucker was going on how low the prices are in Russia, the price for the small amount of groceries he got which he claimed was a weeks worth … really small eaters there, was over half the monthly income of the average Russian.  So Tucker blew half the money the average Russian earns on one week’s food alone.  I think as hard as things are in the US, we still have it better.   By the way, Stewart’s comedic timing and ability is still spot on, I think.     Hugs.  Scottie

In response to online backlash over his criticism of Joe Biden last week, Jon studies Tucker Carlson’s interview with Vladimir Putin in Russia for a lesson in speaking “of course” to power. Plus, Michael Kosta reports from North Korea to demonstrate how nice life under a dictatorship can be.

Dr. Thaer Ahmad, emergency room physician and assistant program director of the Advocate Christ Emergency Medicine Residency Program, discusses his recent experience volunteering at the Al Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip.

Total Chaos: What A Palestinian American Doctor Saw In Gaza

Thaer Ahmad then walks through his assessment of the already shaky state of the healthcare system in pre-October 7th Gaza, as well as his relationship to the healthcare system, as a first-generation Palestinian-American doctor, before tackling the extensive effort it took to get into Gaza as a healthcare worker. Next, Dr. Ahmad explores the extreme changes in quality of life in Southern Gaza from his previous experiences providing healthcare, parsing through the impact of mass displacement into Rafah alongside the dwindling number of functioning hospitals in the region creating a system of severely overworked, underfunded, and under-resourced healthcare workers.
Dr. Ahmad explores the extreme changes in quality of life in Southern Gaza from his previous experiences providing healthcare, parsing through the impact of mass displacement into Rafah alongside the dwindling number of functioning hospitals in the region creating a system of severely overworked, underfunded, and under-resourced healthcare workers. After looking at the impact of the mass starvation and water scarcity on health, Thaer explores the constant siege on hospitals, even in the south of Gaza, and the clear goal of extending the ethnic cleansing until Gaza is gone, also expanding on the massive impact of the violent occupation on children in Gaza.

PRESIDENT BIDEN VS PRESIDENT TRUMP — A CONSTRAST IN SUCCESSES

I want to thank Rawgod for this post.  See, it is hard for me to hold the information in my head of all of Biden’s hard fought achievements and the ones he is still fighting to accomplish.  But Rawgod put it in an easy to read and understand format.  See that is what the republicans are trying desperately to obscure.  They need and want to keep the public from seeing all the good Biden has done because their candidate screwed everything up only helping out the wealthy with a huge tax cut that benefited … him with large cutouts for real estate developers.  WTF!  Nothing Biden has managed to do profits him personally, but tRump did.  Hugs.   Scottie

My day, cat food cans, Ron sick

So we are taking care of three cats.   One full inside fat diabetic cat Named Odie, one inside / outside cat who is sort of gray with white paws also a white tiny mustache, who is named Tupac.  Then there is the totally feral untrusting outside cat we all call Smokey.  

We feed the inside cat three times a day as he wants with wet food.  At night we leave him with what ever wet food he did not eat to finish.

Tupac we feed as many times as he wants when he is in the house, he is very tiny and slim, we give him drops but if we miss them for a few days he starts to spot on stuff.   Often Tupac will come in and go straight to the bedroom rather than eat.  But he tends to spend most days inside with us, and nights unless it is really cold, outside with smokey.

Smokey seems to be a nearly feral female who distrusts most people or close quarters.   She has gotten to trust Ron and I enough to come with in a foot or so of our legs.  She will respond to our voice and come very close to us as long as we make no sudden movement.  She startles very easily.  So she eats her food, both dry and wet, on in the family room Ron built out of the carport.  The dance all these cats play is amazing to watch if you care for them.  

So while Ron and I pay for the vet bills for Tupac and Odie we have not gotten Smokey into a carrier to do so.  But to feed these three every time they demand food takes 90 cans of wet food plus a bunch of dry food.  

While Ron was getting Meow Mix for the family room dish, inside we have been giving Odie Fancy feast and mixing both for Tupac.  But today Ron came home and said he got two bags of food made by the companies that make the treaties we give the cats.  Temptations.  

I looked at the ingredients and stuff and it seems OK to me, but both / two bags were about the same amount we paid for one of the bags of Fancy Feast.   Hey if they eat it I am OK with that.  

So here is the real point of the post.  We go through about 3 cans a day which means is 90 a month.  Depending on how many days in the month or when we order, we sometimes order two of the 90 cans a month.  Each order costs us $78.74.  We get Fancy Feast Poultry and Beef Feast Classic Pate - (30) 3 oz. CansPurina Fancy Feast Seafood Classic Pate - (30) 3 oz. CansFancy Feast Poultry and Beef Feast Classic Pate Collection Grain Free Wet Cat Food Variety Pack - (30) 3 oz. Cans

So, to the point of the post.  Are you not glad I am finally getting to it?  When the cases come in we have to wait until the old cans are gone and then do the “CAT FOOD CAN SHUFFLE”   Ron prefers to put it off until I do it.  Below is the pictures of the cat food can shuffle.   Hugs.   Scottie

This is the place we store the cans and where after the shuffle they go.

First I have to open each of the three boxes of 30 cans each and put them on the counter.

IMG_0665IMG_0664

Then I start shuffling them.  This is the part Ron hates and why he leaves it to me.  If you look at the first pictures you will see the cans well mixed, so the cats don’t get the same can of food at any two feedings.  I would get bored if every meal was the same as the last.  Ron will keep opening cans until he finds something the cats like and will eat. So below is the rest of the photos.   Hugs.  Scottie

Palestinian children describe nightmarish treatment at Israeli detention center

Please notice the date.  Two years ago.   These were children, 50% being held in pre-trial detention, but already convicted and serving harsh sentences.   Even though the boys were 17 at the time of the interview they were younger when picked up, and we have seen younger kids in each video I have shared.  Every single thing the Israeli soldiers did to these kids was to induce pain and fear.  It is the shit interrogators at Gitmo did to adults, and that was called a war crime then.   They are doing this to hurt, be cruel, to break these kids, and terrorize both them and their parents.   All because they are Palestinian.  This is the government the US has supported unequivocally, and this is why the attacks on Israel happen.   In the US some states have made it illegal to protest Israel, to support the BDS movement.  What is BDS? Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) is a Palestinian-led movement for freedom, justice and equality. BDS upholds the simple principle that Palestinians are entitled to the same rights as the rest of humanity.  The republicans in congress are trying to equate the protesting what Israel is doing with antisemitism.   That is stupid.   Don’t fall for it.  This is a short clip, all the words are in big print on the screen.  Please watch, and then spread the word.  Help these kids.   Hugs.  Scottie


 

Palestinian teenagers Ahmad, and Abdulkareem, both 17, describe their harrowing experiences being interrogated and ill-treated by Israeli forces in the Huwwara Interrogation and Detention Center near the city of Nablus in the occupied West Bank.

Sodomites

I would love to see someone call them that to their face along with the explanation, then watch their heads explode.    Hugs.  Scottie
