Calling an osteopath a "doctor" is like calling the teenager handing out samples at Costco a "wedding caterer." Osteopaths are all about unproven whack job crap like homeopathy and spectral breathing and releasing chakra energies and taking herbal remedies when you need a goddam pharmaceutical. In the old days, we called them "snake oil salesmen."
By the way, I don't care about your anecdote about your gay friend's mother's second cousin's lover who is treating xir thyroid condition with black cohosh. It's a scam.
You know what physicians call osteopaths? "Med school dropouts."
"The Republicans officially nominate Donald Trump for reelection. All 23 delegates from Puerto Rico cast their votes for the current occupant of the White House."
By the way, Daddy won 100% of the votes in the GOP primary here. Not one protest vote. He got 3 times as many votes as Biden and all the rest got put together in the Democratic primary.
STILL believe the MSM narrative that Trump is hated in Puerto Rico?
Yup. Advanced practice nurses like FNP's and CRNA's make physician level pay. It is crazy.
Jeez, thanks buddy.
Hahahaha, you think that would help? Every square picometer of the three inhabited and 2 uninhabited islands of the archipelago of Puerto Rico is sovereign US territory. Take a walk with me and I can point you to the Federal courthouse, the FBI field office, the Army base, the 2 Coast Guard bases, the multiple CPB bases, the 4 Federal prisons, the Federal Marshalls office, the Federal DOJ offices, the Homeland Security office, and the list goes on. And yet billions - with a b - of Federal aid goes missing every year. Just cut the aid budget, pede. It only buys corruption.
"How can you not know about it? It has been all over the news." Nothing wrong with his ego.
Is that they always try walk it in? They're 'avin' a laff today.
I got NO problem with you smoking a bowl. Just bear in mind that shit smells about 1000x more than tobacco, and be considerate about where you light up.
By here I mean "this site." By U.S. politics I mean they're not talking local politics, which has a much stronger hold on the popular discourse than it does in most states. I've lived in Minnesota, Massachussetts, and even California for a brief spell. There is nowhere near the level of interest in state government in any U.S. state as there is here. People can be very provincial. These kids are doing what their parents and grandparents rarely do - inform themselves about what is going on in the White House and U.S. Congress, not just San Juan. Also: Thanks for the migraine tip! Will try that next time.
Yeah, he'll park next to my car in the second spot I own and sit there with the windows open puffing away. Since I leave the window open a crack (remember, tropical sun all day, will put the car up to 130° or so inside without ventilation), the smell gets in my seats. If I park so he has to go elsewhere, I don't mind. I just hate the smell and it gives my wife migraines.
We can't vote for President here, but our families and friends in Florida and Texas can. Ask Rick Scott and Ron DeSantis how enthusastic Puerto Ricans are flooding to vote red. Outside of San Juan, Puerto Rico is as blood red as Alabama. But of course, you would not know that if all you hear about us comes from the Mainstream Misleadia.
Ummmm...Carmen Butchface went down hard on Sunday. She only got 13% of the vote...in her own party's primary...with the entire media madly cheering her on. We are not the sheep you think we are outside of the globalist shitstain known as San Juan. Same story everywhere. The only place these fugly leftists can hang onto power is in the big city. Once it's a fair fight for the whole populace, things change.
It's about payback on those who withheld storm aid on purpose to make GEOTUS look bad. People suffered and some died so they could give the MSM orangemanbad material while they stuffed the aid in warehouses all over the island and kept it for themselves. If it were vanilla, run-of-the-mill corruption, I wouldn't bother posting it here. Maybe you got red-pilled after María was over and don't remember the vicious lies and smears against GEOTUS by Saint Carmen Yulín (who lost her primary 2 days ago, ROTFLMAO).
It is part of a larger pattern. I would have to translate one of the local media stories, but all of these people are implicated in a coordinated scheme to steal Federal funds, including storm aid directly or indirectly. They are also stealing special education funds, highway funds, etc. Some are stealing, some (like the CPA) are helping conceal it and some (like Charbonier) are moving millions around from one Federal fund to another, so storm aid is used to hide theft of House funds to triple her husband's salary, for example. Puerto Rico is corrupt from top to bottom. It makes Chicago look clean.
Ah, you are right. I saw the headline and assumed it was related to the 7 arrests today, including María Milagros Charbonier, the head of the House Ethics Committee, for siphoning off $100K of Federal funds. The best part is she is also the pastora of a megachurch in Canóvanas.
Between this and Screetchy Witch San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín getting tossed out last night, today is a good day.
Well, it is not a simple question because politics here is not so much right vs left as it is statehood vs other options. However, the electorate, socially speaking, leans far right, and fiscally speaking, blue state Republican right. This is why Puerto Ricans who move stateside, after an initial period of confusion, trend GOP. We have our leftards like anywhere else, and they get all the media adoration, but when an open Marxist, God-hating, boys-in-girls' locker-rooms, put-condoms-on-bananas-in-your-church-school-or-lose-your-license, globalist feminyst like Yulín tries to run outside the blue shitstain that is San Juan, they get slapped down. Hard. The trend is that conservatives in both major parties are finally waking up, putting aside their status differences, and learning how to cooperate on flushing turds out of both parties and put in good people. In general, the statehood party is more conservative and is more or less the local branch of the GOP. It is not a perfect overlap.
Yes. Meanwhile, the mayor of Guaynabo next door, Ángel Pérez, who stood proudly with Trump, met him at the airport, took him to tour the city, and continues to defend him, won his primary today with nearly 70% of the vote (including mine). He is a strong Christian, good family man, member of my church, and very much a conservative. He took the city from fiscal deficit to cutting taxes in a fiscal surplus in 3 years (he was elected only weeks before María hit in a runoff). He's also a statehooder and proud Army vet. That's why you can ignore immature assholes like the Flptplt guy ranting here. They know nothing about Puerto Rico nor how many of us vote Republican when we move stateside.
UPDATE AS OF 10:30 PM
(Official audited results from the Elections Commission)
Carlos Delgado Altieri: 101,224 (63.25%) Eduardo Bhatia: 37,526 (23.45%)
Carmen Yulín Cruz: 21,282 (13.30%)
This is an island-wide gubernatorial primary, on an Island of 3.3. million people, 53% of which are registered members of her party. She didn't even get as many votes the population of the smallest single barrio of her city.
SUCK IT, TRUMP CURSE IS REAL.
Not shenanigans, per se. Just some chaos last week because of Covid hysteria but they got it ironed out.
No más mayor, no más gobernadora. She's done. Her brand is dead. Look out, stateside pedes! She's coming your way. No doubt she'll get a job at the Ivies and do the MSNBC grievance circuit because brown people and stuff. ROTFLMAO.
Eduardo Bhatia is from El Salvadór. Even he is whipping "Puerto Rico patriot" Carmen "La Comandante" Yulín.
El Hamberguito is doing brisk business these days. Now you make me want to head over there.
The nuyoricans move from one blue shitstain to another. You can't move from here to New York anymore unless you have money. Most people leaving nowadays are ordinary everyday people, not rich assholes like AOC's grandparents or Lin-Manuel Miranda's dad (you did know his dad owns half of El Mesón, right)? Those are not representative in any way of the kind of people I'm talking about. They'd be rich blueholes no matter where they go. As to the newcomers, I believe I mentioned they think they are Democrat at first, but after some time they wake up. Like my friend. It took him 9 years to swallow the red pill fully.
The word for used Herodias in verse 14 is "κοράσιον." That means, "little girl." It is the same word used in the story of when Jesus raised the little girl from the dead with the words, "Talitha koum." The word "talitha" means "little child" in Aramaic, which Jesus spoke. Church tradition holds that Tabitha became a leader of women in the church at Jerusalem, later dying at age 71 in Antioch sometime in AD 60-ish. That would have made her somewhere between 7 and 11 years old at the time of the story.
