    January 6 Select Committee

    heron replied to nursej22's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Wrong - Putin is threatening to use tactical nukes because Ukraine dared to fight back and the rest of Europe and the US agree with them. He thought that his usual bullying and lying would scare the...

    Recession Proof Your Career: 5 Side Gigs for Nurses

    heron replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Specialties

    I didn’t read the original post as “politically motivated” - just realistic. The days of getting hired just by waving your license in the air ended in the nineties. For one thing, the next...

    Being Exposed to All Types of Patients During Clinicals Leaves a Bad Taste in My Mouth

    heron replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Your only option is lay midwifery. It has a VERY different scope of practice from an NP and may not even be legal in your state. There are no

    Suspect it was a typo intended to read “talking” - conveniently ignoring the fact that it was Putin who threatened to use tactical nukes, prompting pushback from

    The Trump Thread

    heron replied to Tweety's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Yup - which is why we voted him out. Demonizing Trump is great sport, for a while at least. However, one of the factors affecting the kneecapping of our democracy is the Democratic obsession with...

    What caught your attention in the world today?

    Agree. Still, it’s about time, especially given the fact that the original classification of marijuana has more to do with who used it at the time the regs were written than with the actual dangers...

    heron replied to toomuchbaloney's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I was interested to read recently on The Daily Beast that Taylor-Green is claiming that democrats are actively murdering republicans. I guess they’re bored with the old victim cards and are...

    Tweety an TMB, you guys have described an old strategy going back to the sixties. Tobacco companies created the template when tobacco was proven to cause cancer: attack the science. Always...

    Y’all have had 30-40 years to think it through. You collectively blew the opportunity to minimize the economic hit of climate change. This has become a salvage

    heron replied to toomuchbaloney's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Thank you. This is one of the reasons we need an independent judicial branch. Judge Carroll is a disappointment. On the other hand, both special master judge Dearie and the 11th circuit...

    heron replied to toomuchbaloney's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I believe Judge Dearie was appointed by Ronald Regan, not Trump. All the left-wing commentary I’ve seen has been that he is conservative, highly respected “no nonsense” judge who can be depended...

    A federal judge in Texas just ruled that requiring employers to provide coverage of HIV meds is unconstitutional. Go to npr.org - the article was published on Sept.7, 2022. Not sure what I think...

    I agree here. Lindsay Graham has no business getting involved in my life prior to the point when a fetus is viable outside the uterus. Let’s say you are struggling with severe cardiac issues....

    But nowhere near as much money as the far right radical preachers and politicians are making. Speaking of facts and information … one name: Crisis Pregnancy Centers. Then there are the...

    TMB - you left out incest. I am still waiting to hear just how a 12 year-old child is supposed to say no to a grown man and make it stick. The forced pregnancy crowd has a vested interest in...

    Outcome depends on who can kill off whom the fastest. Is it any wonder that our far right wing has been singing their praises for a few years now? I know a person by the he-ros and she-ros they...

    Umm … even granting all you’ve claimed about Fetterman, I would still vote for him over Oz if I was a PA voter. There are too many snake oil merchants in our legislatures as it is. I agree...

    Haven’t seen any yet. If they have any, you would think it would be splashed all over the place. Nada. As far as I can see, HB is just your common garden variety

    I’ve been hearing about it, too. Couldn’t say how pervasive it is. Seems to be a tactic to pack the Republican slate of candidates with the most extreme magaphiles - ie election deniers,...
