I assume that’s a reference to a list of medicines compiled by the WHO. Ivermectin is cheap and highly effective for killing a variety parasites.

It’s essential for those scam pharmacies to make a boatload of money. The pill mills in Florida have transitioned from narcotics to ivermectin and other stuff for preppers. The one in the ad sells a “bunker bundle” for $2000 with antibiotics, corticosteroids, prescription strength NSAIDs and some other stuff.

Cost to the pharmacy for all that is probably less than $100. And is missing a lot of stuff that would be actually useful in a true shit-hits-the-fan situation (like any sort of breathing treatment).

Oh no, whatever will Taiwanese do now that they've been barred from Somalia?
That is exactly what I was thinking. How many Taiwanese are visting Somalia?

Generally speaking, if you can't see the attacker and you can't see the attack, there's probably no attack.

He's actually right. But the attackers are sitting around that table.
Remember when in the first Trump Administration, we all thought it was batshit crazy when cabinet members were prompted to go around the table and praise Trump?
Now it's been normalized so it happens every week. The real problems - but real opportunity for the loyal opposition - is that these folks are all starting to believe their toadying fulsomeness.

It's less about the impact and more about what countries are willing to do to court China.

Of course. It's just funny to see that particular detail cited as an example.
Somalia does have strategic value.
When India or SE Asian countries bar Taiwanese, then it will be more of a concern. Somalia? Not as much.
That said, I've basically written off Taiwan as an independent, democratic nation. The die is cast that China will annex it at some point.

Why the Antisemitism Awareness Act now has a religious liberty clause to protect ‘Jews killed Jesus’ statements
The Antisemitism Awareness Act's added language says it would not infringe on religious liberty to protect the claim that Jews killed Jesus.
forward.com
The final language of the Antisemitism Awareness Act was posted online on Tuesday ahead of a committee vote.
The added language, which is referred to as a “manager’s amendment” and proposed by the committee’s chair, Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, states that the legislation would not “diminish or infringe upon any right protected under the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, including the free exercise of religion.”
The bill would require the Department of Education to use the controversial International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of antisemitism — which classifies most anti-Zionism as antisemitic — when investigating allegations of discrimination.
It passed in the House last May by an overwhelming majority of 320-91, but was stalled in the Senate due to some resistance over constitutionally protected free speech. It has been reintroduced in the House this year and is up for a vote at the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee on Wednesday morning.
The Democrats who oppose enshrining the IHRA definition object to what they say would be the criminalization of criticism of Israel. Of the 11 examples of antisemitic speech IHRA includes, six have to do with Israel.
But for many of the 21 Republicans who voted against the bill last year, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene and former Congressman Matt Gaetz, the problem is an example that says accusing Jews of deicide is antisemitic. The claim that the Jews killed Jesus is widely considered an antisemitic falsehood.
At least two Republican members of the Senate committee that will vote on the bill, Tommy Tuberville of Alabama and Roger Marshall of Kansas, have expressed their objections due to concerns about religious liberty and the ability to express certain views.
As the only amendment, Cassidy’s language on religious liberty could reassure Republicans that their rights as Christians won’t be violated and potentially secure their votes, according to two veteran policy strategists familiar with discussions about the legislation.

That amendment does nothing. Sigh.
