From a report of the Daniel Penny trial.

“That question has now been answered thanks to newly released bodycam footage. Not only was Neely breathing when the police arrived, but they refused to give him mouth-to-mouth, instead sticking him with Narcan assuming a drug overdose was involved. “

What I find amazing is 40 yrs ago, they had a device that was a CPR mask. It let you breathe for the person while keeping you safe. We had them as EMTs. Since usually Narcon is given to people in distress, why in the ever living <<<< did they not have a CPR mask in the kit with the Narcon? This is like having a defibrillator with no pads.

It was my understanding that you don’t do CPR on someone who is breathing

Expand full comment

You dont but after giving NARCON to someone who may or maynot have been ODing. Im sure he was high. NARCON has a mixed effect. Yes it can stop someone from ODing, but a lot of times, they stop breathing and lose their heart beat. You can do CPR all day long on someone but if you dont breathe for them, it is useless. Lungs need fresh O2 to circulate with the compressions.

My understanding is he had a pulse when police arrived. They administered NARCON. After that he quit breathing and his heart stopped. They did CPR but didnt breathe for him.

Presumably they have emergency equipment

In the subway stations. An Ambu Bag allows you to ventilate a patient without putting your mouth on their mouth. Been around for decades, and provide better ventilation than mouth to mouth. M. Cost 15-20 bucks for a single use kit. Total cluster in NYC- as usual.

The whole thing never should have happened because the lunatic shouldn’t have been on the train in the first place.

Probably. I traveled for work back in 98-99. I was in Italy during one of their inflation cycles. It cost a million or a million and half lira for a hotel room for a week. They joined the EU to get it under control.

I was in Israel in 1981 shortly after they had apparently devalued and reset their currency. At one point I was trying to pay for something with coins I had been given for change from another purchase, and the clerk told me, "those are nothing.... people throw them away." We'll get there.

Italy has had several bouts of issues. I know they were on the wrong side of what is the Global EU fund? WEF? several times. They kept spending more money than they were allowed since WEF was trying to help them.

#4. A redneck walked into a bar. Business was slow, only one other customer, a woman. After ordering his drink the redneck told the barkeep to get one for the lady.

The woman raised her drink in thanks so the redneck moved over and sat next to her. The woman turned to him and said," don't bother, I'm a lesbian."

The redneck replied," that's awesome, how are things in Beirut?"

That said, I nominate Beirut for their conference.

The way i heard it, the bartender saiid, "She's a Lesbian." The guy paid no attention to him, walked down to the girl, cozied up to her on the next stool, and said, "Hi there, Goldilocks. What part of Lesbia are you from?"

ITEM 11: The Jeff Bezos Post said, “Mike Johnson vows major changes to Affordable Care Act if Trump wins election.”

The GOP House really thinks we'll believe their second promise to end Obamacare? Mike Johnson is no more believable than Paul Ryan. How about the major change we need is for Trump to convince the House to eject Mike Johnson as Speaker and replace him with a MAGA Republican?

Jim Jordan who skillfully evaded that very question on Fox last week.

Expand full comment

I lost about half my respect for Jordan when

1) He departed from the freedom caucus and backed McCarthy because he was promised a committee leadership position by McCarthy

2) Refused to run for the speakership when we needed him most and would have avoided Mike Johnson's appointment, and

3) Hasn't been vocal about most - or all - Trump issues MAGA cares about.

Jordan is either compromised or sold out on his DC easy-street role. I vote in Ohio but he is not in the district where I live or I'd let him know how I feel in his next campaign. I once tried to write him an email to his public website the government provides politicians, but if you don't live in his district they won't accept your email.

This week's round-up had my laughing all the way through.

Item 4 regarding the LGBTQ conference. I suggest they hold it in Gaza. This will make the "Queers for Palestine" happy, plus all the tall buildings that could have been used to toss their members off of, are now at ground level.

Item 15 video of Kamala angrily telling a heckler to shut up reminded me of the end of the poem "Casey at the Bat". Forgive my interpretation.

Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright,

The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light;

And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout,

But there is no joy in Cackleville, cuz Kamala has struck out.

Regarding the Question of the Day. The outfit that Kamala is wearing reminded me of the poop emoji.
