Informed Consent

Posted in Abortions by

Even though I had a 100 % blockage of one of my heart arteries, the doctor required what is called an informed consent. It means he has to tell me what he was going to do, the reasons and the risks.

Though my chest felt very badly after the 4 bypasses, he did me a great service. Considering it was over 15 years ago, I’d likely be pushing up daisies today if I did not have the procedure.

It was not the only time I had such conversations with doctors. Indeed, before a person can have a tooth filled, the dentist needs a signed consent form, technically, an informed consent form.

In addition, the doctor is responsible for maintaining a safe environment for any procedure he will undertake. Finally, all responsible doctors provide proper follow-up to make sure there are no complications.

On the other hand, none of these things were required for the abortionists. 12 and 13 year-olds were rushed to hospitals by parents not having a clue what was wrong. Then, the parents end up paying out a small fortune for complications from the abortion done a week ago.

Many of the states have recently changed this. Some have not. For those who have young daughters, I’d strongly suggest you move to a state where this sort of thing won’t happen. It would be best to avoid states that allow abortions. At least move to a state that require true informed consents and parental consent for minors. Maybe we can hope and pray for the rest of the states.

Really, you might ask yourself. Can a 12 year-old truly provide an informed consent. It is the least that should be required before an abortionist stops a beating heart. It is the least that should be required in light of true dangerous complications that are possible.

Finally, is it too much to require proper clinical environments and follow up.

Proof

The recent train derailing in Ohio has resulted in the following solid proof.

  1. dems are only interested in ecology when it is politically adventurous for them. You notice how Joe and Pete and their dem friends are trying to ignore the obvious disaster.
  2. dems can’t fix the disasters when they try. Politics, they are good at. Impeachment of guiltless presidents, they are well experienced at. Accomplishments of real work, not so much.
  3. Anything, especially oil can be shipped by pipes far more safely than train or truck. And by the way, while also producing less pollution.

Among other things, maybe the dems need to take another real look at pipelines. Then again, maybe ecology isn’t their real goal. Perhaps it isn’t the real issue. Just maybe Joe is more interested in delivering on bribes than in American interests.

Hint for Others Using TV Antennas

Posted in Cable TV by

After giving up cable because of unrealistic prices, I made many adjustments to my antenna. Currently, I usually get good solid reception. From time-to-time, it still gets very unreliable and intermittent.

I had trouble figuring it out till last night. A windy, rainy storm came through and I started seeing the proverbial pixelating on the screen. Then I finally figured it out. UHF radio waves are impeded by heavy rain. Considering the weak signal to start with, it doesn’t take a lot destroy the TV picture.

Incidentally, it is the same reason satellite TV reception has problems. Satellite uses microwave, which is affected by rain even more. Think it over. It’s why weather radar works. The rain reflects the radio waves.

Just wish cable was not so unreasonably expensive.

Last Two

Posted in Christian values, Lawyers and Representation, Mistakes, Obama Care, Politally Correct, Religion by

Late each night when I went home from work, I passed a real estate office. The owner(s) liked to post little quips, which I must admit I enjoyed reading.

One of them said, “Why didn’t Noah swat those last two when he had the chance.”

I suppose one may fill in the missing frustration. Perhaps, it might be the fly. That would be the pest most picnickers would suggest; or would it be the ants. I think the mosquito would have my vote. While in Nam, they used to bite my feet while I tried to sleep. Hence, I woke with itchy feet. As small as their little brains were, they seemed to realize that I really had to reach for my feet. By the time I did, they were alerted and gone.

In the end, I put my mosquito net up and it was the end to it while sleeping. While out and about, they still dive-bombed me regularly, as well as most of us.

Naturally, those of us with homes built of wood live in fear of termites. It is amazing how those little pests can do so much damage in so little time.

Maybe you have your own choice. Regardless, many of these insects do more than bug us. While in Nam, they made us take a quinine based drugs to prevent us from contracting a very deadly disease. Much of Africa was under attack by the sleeping sickness spread by the Tsetse fly. Memphis was almost turned into a big ghost town by yellow fever, spread by mosquitos. Then, of course. We can’t overlook Rocky Mountain spotted fever and Lyme disease spread by ticks.

It does make one want go back a few years before Noah, like before Adam ate the fruit. Before the fall, I’m sure Adam never felt the bite of an insect.

Hence, you just might want to remember, sometimes, seemingly small things can have devastating, long lasting results.

Afterthought: those who take salvation so lightly just might want to look at it more seriously. Forever never ends and insects will be the least concern of any of those who reject the the gift of eternal life.

You Ever Wonder?

Posted in Biden by

Joe, as far as I know, spent his entire life working for Uncle. You ever wonder where he got the money to buy his 2 big houses, at least one of which is on the beach? You ever wonder just how much he paid for them?

One thing I know. If all I made was senator’s pay, I’d not have been able to buy them. If I made twice senator’s pay, I’d not be able to buy them and buy groceries too.

Think about about it.

Wrong Question

Posted in Biden, Communism, FOC, Liberals by

I keep hearing the question, “Should we keep giving billions to Ukraine given that it might lead to WWIII?”

To me, it’s not even close to the right question. All we need to do is drive the price of oil down to $40 a barrel and Russia would have to withdraw. Putin would quickly run out of money. If we could drive the world price down to $20, as President Trump did, we just might see Putin looking for a new job.

Then, of course, the dems would not like that.

New Take on F.W.I.T.I.W.

Posted in Biden by

Hope you don’t mind me using the abrieviation. I didn’t want my title to be to long. You see, I repaired electronic equipment for over 20 years and some problems were simply impossible. That was when I adopted the philosophy, Fiddle With It Till It Works. Oddly, most of the time works… or they sent someone else in to repaired the problem.

Well, I figured that Joe decided to use the same methods. Only he got it backwards. He’s fiddled everything till it’s all broken.

I might mention one more thing. I had good knowledge of electronics. Joe has not any idea of just how much he messed things up from sea to shining seas and well beyond.

Maybe It’d Not Be So Bad

The dems are complaining about the House investing the FBI’s investigations. Might be a good thing. Some of them should never have started. The first thing the next Republican president should do is to fire all the top leaders in many of departments, especially the FBI & IRS. No need for investigations, just pink slips.

A Horrible Thought

Posted in Coronavirus, Fauci, FOC, Lawyers and Representation, News media, Vaccine by

I did not watch the state of the union. I figured why listen to a bunch of lies. Because I didn’t watch it, I figured I’m hardly qualified to make any remarks about what was said.

However it did hear Bernie Sanders was the only one who wore a mask. Then, I had a thought, a really horrible thought. Could it be that all of them caught the China virus? Most of those who were there are old. Many, maybe all the unmasked could die. Then we would be left with no one but Sanders.

Fortunately, in the real world, masks don’t actually make any difference. Right. Right? Right?? Please tell me I’m right.

I did say it’s a horrible thought.

Who Bought the Paintings?

To be sure, there are likely a few ways to determine who bought the paintings that were painted by Joe’s son. It could be a long tedious task. After all, Joe isn’t so much a good public servant, but he does know how to cover his sins.

You find out who initially laid the money down at the auction. Then, regardless of who does what with the so-called art works, there is likely a stack or two or three of money, may gold, maybe bit coin coming from others: the real sources of the bribes. These might be, but not limited to the communists, the Chicoms, the going green outfits and particularly those who build electric cars.

On the other hand, we could just ask Joe. He knows. It just is; he’s not going to say. However, it’s still simple. Just look at who is receiving the checks. I mean that is sort-of the object of the bribe. Also, you notice how quickly the crude oil spigots were shut down and the border was open. Do you suppose the cartels had something to do with the so-called purchase of the so-called art.

As the aside for today: I wonder just how many of those grand works are being displayed on a wall in some millionaire’s home and how many have found their way to the local garbage heap. Can you imagine some pennyless bum pulling out a half million painting… then learning it’s not worth a cup of capuchino. Then to, I suppose some could have been gifted the fabulous works of art. I mean it isn’t everyone who can claim they have a painting worth 500 grand hanging on their living room wall.
