There is a venous ultrasound procedure that is quite common to check leg blood flow and to check the function of the one-way valves in the veins in your legs.

That is how dictators roll, but MAGA will be all for it, and Ritchie will be jumping for joy.
Yup, fascism is the ultimate way to trigger the libtards.

There is no point paying attention to what you say, you are uninformed.
The dominion sale is real.

the dementia is getting worse.

I wonder if JD has had the balls to start throwing around Article 25 amongst the cabinet yet? You know he desperately wants to, but does he have the balls to attempt it? Hmmmmm
Question: Who would be the safer or more dangerous President if Trump had to be removed, JD or Mike Johnson?

Ownership of the Los Angeles Times
Further information: News media endorsements in the 2024 United States presidential election § Suppression of Harris endorsements
In February 2018, Soon-Shiong's investment firm NantCapital reached a deal to purchase Los Angeles Times and The San Diego Union-Tribune from Tronc Inc. for "nearly $500 million in cash" as well as the assumption of $90 million in pension obligations.[63] Soon-Shiong, with this acquisition, became one of the first Asian-Americans to be a media proprietor through ownership in a major daily newspaper in the United States.[64] The sale closed on June 18, 2018.[6]
In 2020, Soon-Shiong blocked the editorial board from making any endorsement in the Democratic presidential primaries, overruling its intended endorsement of Elizabeth Warren; the paper did endorse Biden in the general election.[65]
During Soon-Shiong's ownership of the Los Angeles Times, his daughter, Nika Soon-Shiong, became interested in the newspaper and sought to influence coverage, in both the newsroom and opinion pages.[66] Many Times staffers expressed alarm at the younger Soon-Shiong's activity, which they viewed as meddling, including privately and publicly contacting staffers to advocate her views.[66]
In July 2023, Soon-Shiong sold the San Diego Union-Tribune to MediaNews Group.[67][68]
In October 2024, as the Los Angeles Times editorial board was preparing to endorse Kamala Harris in the 2024 United States presidential election, Soon-Shiong blocked the newspaper from making any endorsement.[65][69] This was the first time since 2004 that the newspaper had not endorsed a presidential candidate.[65] In response to Soon-Shiong's decision to block the Harris endorsement, there was a wave of subscription cancellations, staff anger, and several members of the paper's editorial board resigned in protest including editorials editor Mariel Garza and two editorial writers, Pulitzer Prize winner Robert Greene and Karin Klein.[69][70] Harry Litman, a senior legal affairs columnist for the Times’ opinion page, also resigned stating, "My resignation is a protest and visceral reaction against the conduct of the paper’s owner, Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong."[71] Nearly 2,000 subscribers to the paper unsubscribed in the wake of the decision.[69] A day later, TheWrap reported that the Los Angeles Times editorial board had planned a series of articles tentatively titled "The Case Against Trump" which was killed by Soon-Shiong.[72][73]
In November 2024, the Los Angeles Times fired its entire editorial board, and Soon-Shiong announced plans to replace them with a new team. Soon-Shiong defended the restructuring for a "fair and balanced newspaper,” echoing the Fox News slogan. Soon-Shiong further promised a "rebirth" for the newspaper, adding "Every American’s views should be heard."[74][75]
In December 2024, Soon-Shiong announced that the Los Angeles Times would employ an AI-powered bias meter into the newspaper's coverage. The announcement came after Soon-Shiong expressed his desire to include more conservative voices in the paper's opinion section, following Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 presidential election.[71][76][77]
In January 2025, Soon-Shiong was accused of diverting the meaning of a Los Angeles Times op-ed which opposed the confirmation of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Health and Human Services Secretary. Soon-Shiong had previously endorsed Kennedy Jr. for the role. The op-ed's author, Eric Reinhart, said that portions of his piece which explicitly called against the confirmation were cut out without his approval, shortly before publication.[78] One of the removed excerpts argued that Kennedy Jr. would "inflict preventable death on [millions of Americans]" due to his "egomaniacal disregard for scientific evidence".[79] The op-ed was published under the headline "Trump’s healthcare disruption could pay off — if he pushes real reform". In contrast, Reinhart's suggested title was "RFK Jr’s Wrecking Ball Won’t Fix Public Health". When the op-ed was published, Soon-Shiong shared it on X along with a comment saying that Kennedy Jr. was "our best chance of [pushing reform in the American healthcare system]".[78]
This is the wiki quote.
Weird and fucked up. Brilliant surgeon who is worth $11B, mainly by corporate and media ownerships. Basically he's saying what gets clicks.
Politics
Soon-Shiong and his family were major donors to the Hillary Clinton 2016 presidential campaign.[26] According to Politico, Soon-Shiong twice met privately with Donald Trump during his 2016–2017 presidential transition in an unsuccessful attempt to obtain a position in the administration.[26]
In 2015, Soon-Shiong's NantPharma purchased the drug Cynviloq from Sorrento Therapeutics for $90 million, including more than $1 billion in compensation for reaching regulatory and sales milestones.[46] Soon-Shiong did not push forward with FDA approval as the agreement dictated, and instead allowed critical patents and deadlines to lapse, presumably due to his financial interest in another drug that would compete with Cynviloq. This "catch and kill" method of eliminating competition follows a pattern of questionable business practices by Soon-Shiong,[47] and claims of "looting" by the celebrity actress and musician Cher.[48][49]

In an article published in his Substack Sunday, senior journalist and former CNN political commentator Jim Acosta argued that President Donald Trump’s behavior and proposals reflect a degree of mental decline that now demands serious consideration of invoking the 25th Amendment.
Acosta said this is not mere partisanship, but a response to what he called mounting and alarming evidence that Trump is no longer fit to lead. "This is not a 'take the keys away from grandpa' (or cell phone) moment. It is time for a serious discussion about the 25th amendment to the U.S. Constitution," he wrote.
The 25th amendment establishes a process to fill a vice‑presidential vacancy and allows for a temporary transfer of presidential authority to the Vice President, either at the President’s own written declaration of incapacity or via a declaration by the Vice President together with a majority of the Cabinet
Acosta began with what he views as a recent example: a Truth Social post in which Trump claimed, falsely, that “THE BIDEN FBI PLACED 274 AGENTS INTO THE CROWD OF JANUARY 6.”
He notes that Trump was president at that very moment, making the claim not merely false, but astonishing in its detachment from fact.
"If there is one thing Truth Social is good for these days, it is that it somewhat reliably tracks the 79-year old president’s cognitive decline in real time. Just a few weeks ago, Trump apparently accidentally posted on that same account what was supposed to be a DM to Attorney General Pam Bondi, directing her to indict his perceived political enemies," the analyst said.
Acosta cataloged a series of episodic lapses: a garbled pronunciation of “acetaminophen” while warning Americans against Tylenol, and Trump’s embrace of conspiracy‑laden claims about autism tied to circumcision — amplified, in Acosta’s view, by his Health and Human Services Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Acosta maintained that these instances are not isolated oddities but symptoms of a deeper problem: Trump’s growing fixation on sweeping and unconstitutional powers. He points to Trump’s calls to invoke the Insurrection Act, an antebellum statute allowing the military to intervene in domestic unrest, as a kind of obsession.
He argued that no rational president would seriously consider deploying the U.S. military in American cities, especially when violent crime rates are historically low. He warned that this impulse is both unconstitutional and dangerous.
"Any consideration of Trump’s alarming mental state was absent from the news coverage surrounding his incendiary speech to the nation’s generals at Quantico late last month, when the president declared that the U.S. military should be sent to American cities for training purposes," he wrote.
Acosta further wrote that rational debate about a president’s capacity is not off limits: under the 25th Amendment, the vice president and cabinet could declare the president incapacitated. He lamented that those who would make such a judgment, among them Vice President J.D. Vance and cabinet officials like Kennedy, are themselves political actors with conflicts of interest.
“The thought of Trump’s latest ‘dear leader’ cabinet coming to our rescue is an insane notion, to be sure.”
The writer framed the moment as a failure of collective will: Americans and institutions are refusing to confront a looming threat. He argued that denying Trump’s mental and behavioral decline is a form of normalization and gaslighting, and that the consequences of inaction could prove catastrophic.

I'm too current for you...Trump addressing the Knesset....looks like best POTUS
Remember during the 2016 Elections when Trump's campaign was running out of funds. Then he had a close door meeting with The Egyptian President and somehow Trump magically got $10 Million in cash. A leaked press in Egypt confirmed that $ 10 Million of the Government coffers were withdrawn in cash. Now listen to how Trump praises this non-democratic Egyptian President and slams "Crooked Hillary Clinton" in his usual retarded ramblings:
But we all know how Bill Barr shut down this investigation into the dirty money when he was employed at Trump's behest!!
Somehow Argentina are now getting around a $20 Billion bailout from this Whitehouse, especially when millions of Americans are going to lose their coverage to Medicaid during this Government shutdown.

The bribe starts at $100 million, you need to top the Adelsons to get any say.
