Many doctors and studies disagree with this!

Twitter Moments
@TwitterMoments
The FDA is revoking its emergency use authorization of hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine for treating COVID-19 amid growing evidence that the drugs are "unlikely to be effective" in treating the coronavirus. https://twitter.com/i/events/


Mrs. Krassenstein
@HKrassenstein
EVERY DOUBLE-BLIND PLACEBO-CONTROLLED STUDY AGREES WITH THIS!

The Democrats took the word GOD out of the Pledge of Allegiance at the Democrat National Convention. At first I thought they made a mistake, but it wasn’t. It was done on purpose. Remember Evangelical Christians, and ALL, this is where they are coming from-it’s done. Vote Nov 3!

Biden and the Democrats have greatly disrespected the Great State of Wisconsin by not even paying a small visit to Milwaukee, the designated site of the DNC. The State & City worked very hard to make sure things would be good. Not nice. Vote Trump Wisconsin!

Mrs. Krassenstein
@HKrassenstein
How about letting Wisconsin decide that? The way I think they view it is that they helped prevent the spread of COVID in Wisconsin. By the way, Biden is demolishing you in the polls in Wisconsin.

Why would Suburban Women vote for Biden and the Democrats when Democrat run cities are now rampant with crime (and they aren’t asking the Federal Government for help) which could easily spread to the suburbs, and they will reconstitute, on steroids, their low income suburbs plan!

Mrs. Krassenstein
@HKrassenstein
Because suburban women realize that you aren’t going to stop violent crime by threatening cities with federal troops. You stop gun deaths by making it harder for criminals to get guns.

Another bad night of Rioting in Portland, Oregon. A small number of Federal troops there to protect courthouse and other Federal property only (great job!). Wanting to be asked by City & State to STOP THE RIOTS. Would bring in National Guard, end problem immediately. ASK!

Mrs. Krassenstein

The riots of 2020 are the caravans of 2018. It’s a an election ploy. You are crying wolf over a squirrel.

In New Jersey they want you to certify that you asked for the Universal Mail-In Ballot that they sent you. But you never asked for it. Disaster in the wings!

@HKrassenstein
If you registered to vote, you are certified to vote in the election. If they send you a mail-in ballot after you registered to vote, and you don't want it, you can tear it up. What's so hard to understand about making it easy for Americans to vote?

I've seen them rail about political correctness "editing out" those words from films with the WW2-era pledge because they believe it was always there and wasn't a 50-s era alteration.


(The first part is opening credits for a longer film than this clip. Skip to the 30s mark for the pledge clip)

who fly into a rage at any suggestion that "under God" should be removed from the Pledge. That is why Trump specifically addressed Christians in his tweet.

I'd prefer to do away with the Pledge altogether. It's creepy to pressure kids into performing a nationalistic ritual they don't even understand, regardless of whether said ritual also contains a religious component. Parents who insist that their children must learn and recite the Pledge can make them do it at home.

I haven't recited The Pledge for over 50 years... since high school. At public meetings, though a public official myself, when The Pledge is used to open the meeting, I do not stand, place my hand over my heart and pledge allegiance to the flag. It's been so long that I no longer draw any scowls. I'm deemed eccentric and of the lunatic fringe most likely.
