The Open has become a clown show on the Left. There's no substantive discussion whatsoever.

The Leftist posters provide us with a daily dose of slogans, childish language, name-calling, and conclusory statements with no support. Frank's posts are simply unreadable. We also get a bunch of links to MSM articles most of which Conor and Ty haven't read, do not understand, or are pure biased crap. The only substantive discussions posted on the Open come from the center-right (MarkH, BVZ, Eli, MAS, Ned, Tampa). Perhaps the one exception is Nigel. Otherwise, even Chris just parrots whatever Politico asked him to today.

The OF is a total crapshow on the Left. Not one of them engages in critical thinking. And this is the path our country has obviously chosen.

following me into every thread in which I posted trying to elicit reactions.

I relayed the story of my elderly mother-in-law wishing death on Trump while we were sitting on the couch, watching the news after the first attempt. Something has happened, and it stopped being a joke a long time ago. We have people who have surrendered their values and their sanity because of a politician. Of course, the problem goes much deeper because, as we have seen, once you go down that road, it's entirely easy to then move to dehumanizing those with whom you disagree, which is precisely what they do. Remember conor wishing death upon the unvaxxed? I wonder if he would've told Killshot to his face that he wished death upon him? I don't know the answer to that, which speaks volumes.

...but thanks for mentioning me, as it provides an opportunity to get the truth out...again...

>You suggest that I don't provide support for my posts, yet it wasn't too long ago that others...among them, Baron...were annoyed that I was providing "Too Much" support with my links to such reputable publications as the "New England Journal of Medicine"...the "American Psychiatric Association"...the "New York Times"...the "Washington Post"...and several other award winning media that have been trusted for many decades...as opposed to the staple of many in the MAGA world, like FOX, which had to pay $787M for knowingly publishing falsehoods about the 2020 election.

>You also claim that I don't read my own links...not sure how you reach that conclusion, but not only do I read them before posting, but I also read the links that others post before I respond to them...case in point...Baron accused me of lying about a NEJM report dealing with the efficacy of masking in Boston area schools...said it was just an opinion piece with no data...turns out, Baron failed to note the links in that scholarly report that led to voluminous data and methods which showed clear benefits to masking...even Jakers, after I led him through the posting thread between Baron and I, acknowledged it was Baron who didn't tell the truth.

>Another claim of yours is that I don't engage in substantive discussions...first off, I've repeatedly called on others to challenge me with facts and data that they believe will prove me wrong...thus far it's been 'crickets'...just name calling and deflections...even being put on "Ignore" for the most bogus of reasons (see Baron's claim).

So, I'm inviting you to pick any issue you'd like and engage with me in a substantive discussion...based on facts and data...are you up for it?

That NEJM "study" was completely bogus mathematically, and you never had an answer why here in SC and GA schools that required masking did not have lower Covid rates among students and staff than schools that didn't.

And unless you're just playing games with me, you never read Dr. Risch's well-researched paper of EVERY hydroxychloroquine study to find out why your hero the Great Fauchino was wrong about the drug...and his wrongness led directly to hundreds of thousands of deaths in this country.

"Fair Enough" concurrence...btw, that study used very rigorous "Difference in Difference" analysis methodology to substantiate their findings, which would apply to any locality in the world with humans in it. Note that virtually any hospital on this planet you go to during a COVID-19 outbreak will require staff and patients to wear masks, so it makes some sense to me that they work...even Baron would wear them...or be let go. I still can't understand why he doesn't get the concept of "Mitigation" during an airborne pathogen pandemic...Weird.

If you'd like to get deeper into the "Difference in Difference" methodology, read the following paper...no need to get in the weeds, though...just read the section above the first diagram.

https://diff.healthpolicydatascience.org/#:~:text=For%20example%2C%20suppose%20California%20(treated,before%20and%20after%20its%20implementation.

As for that well-beaten dead horse, HCQ...
>The issue was settled months before I joined the OF
>Dr. Risch's own superiors and peers...with expertise in virology and Infectious Diseases, that Dr. R didn't have... wrote a letter, publicly refuting everything he said...again, before I joined the OF
>My own family Infectious Disease and Pulmonary/Critical Care ('ICU') Docs advised me that HCQ was considered "A Joke"...
>Dr. Risch did not perform any studies involving HCQ...he simply wrote an Opinion Piece...and the studies that were done were proven faulty and inconsequential, meaning that Dr. R used poor judgement in picking them...again, this is before I joined the OF
>Unlike 'Paxlovid' No RCT studies were performed for HCQ, which is critical given the hundreds of millions of people who would be given such a treatment...that is the petitioner's responsibility...not the FDA's...

Since all of this transpired prior to my joining the OF, my sole purpose has been to explain to every one, including you, WHY it was not approved...and with all the evidence against Dr. Risch's paper that's been published, and available...some of which provided by me...there's no need to read his paper, other than to prolong your hope that someone might agree with you...a worthless task. But, I like you too, and hope some day you'll learn from this experience. I know I have.

Command Seargeant Major but could not retire as one because he didn't serve the requisite years. That did not stop him from applying for a pension as a retired command sergeant major, which was false. The Military cut him down for that. The actual paperwork reducing his retirement rank is here.

He then campaigned on being a retired command sergeant major, which he clearly is not. Anyone who served knows this, and anyone with a brain can figure it out.

The rest of your post shows you refuse to answer my questions directly, because you know I'm right and you have no good answers.

qualify for the rank. No one approved of him retiring as a command sergeant major, he was not qualified to retire as a CSM, ergo he is not eligible for CSM retirement pay grade.. This is not rocket science nor does it require an ability to converse in Italian although, having spent time in Italy he may be qualified in that MOS, I don't know. You are correct though that he retired honorably with approval before completing the classes to retire with the rank as a CSM. In order to complete the classes he would have been required to extend but as usual, Newton's Law would have prevailed and he would have been required to deploy with his unit. Apparently, he chose to get out rather than deploy. It was his choice, he tried to get the CSM money and not deploy, sort of like having his cake and eating it too. Or maybe he just simply wanted the rank on his resume but of course, that raises the stolen valor issue.

his Battalion after getting that promotion...he earned his rank and his superiors had no problem with him assuming that role. Based on his 24 yrs of service it is highly unlikely that he would have failed to complete/pass the courses, so let's agree that his service should be Honored and stop the hair-splitting over the nuances of retirement rank...which is obviously politically motivated and not based on any lack of ability or quality in that service.

unusual or uncommon depending on the manning or staffing levels of the unit. It is why a Marine PFC can step-up into the role of a corporal, a corporal can fill a LCpl's position, a LCpl can fill a Sgt's position, a Sgt can fill a Lt's position, and on up the chain of command due to casualties or under manning levels. It is called the Order of Battle and followed by the US military and Western allies but not the Russians or former Eastern Bloc armies who operate top heavy or top down which explains why Russia has lost so many general officers in Ukraine, their lower ranks are incapable of assuming upward command during combat and suffering losses. He may have performed the duties of a CSM, no argument from me, but he was never promoted nor frocked as a CSM. Neither have I stated that he was incapable of mastering the required classes, he simply did not complete the class work required so he was not qualified to be officially promoted to the rank of CSM consequently, he was not qualified to merit the pay level for the rank. That is not to say that he was incapable of or could not perform the duties. Performing the duties does not get the executive officer (usually a major) the pay of a LtCol. if the squadron commanding officer is shot down. The XO assumes the duty until a new CO is brought in or he is promoted to LtCol. A captain or a 1stLt or the senior 2ndLt can be a CO if the situation is warranted. If an airline captain becomes incapacitated and the co-pilot continues the flight to the closest safe airport, he/she does not get captain's pay while he/she is acting as captain.

“We are all the same”

No, actually not.
Not even close..

TDS. Full blown hatred. Complete lack of thinking.
Unwillingness to even believe what they actually see over what they are told.

The Charge of the Light Brigade

Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
“Forward, the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns!” he said.
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

II
“Forward, the Light Brigade!”
Was there a man dismayed?
Not though the soldier knew
Someone had blundered.
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die.
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

III
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volleyed and thundered;
Stormed at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of hell
Rode the six hundred.

IV
Flashed all their sabres bare,
Flashed as they turned in air
Sabring the gunners there,
Charging an army, while
All the world wondered.
Plunged in the battery-smoke
Right through the line they broke;
Cossack and Russian
Reeled from the sabre stroke
Shattered and sundered.
Then they rode back, but not
Not the six hundred.

V
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon behind them
Volleyed and thundered;
Stormed at with shot and shell,
While horse and hero fell.
They that had fought so well
Came through the jaws of Death,
Back from the mouth of hell,
All that was left of them,
Left of six hundred.

VI
When can their glory fade?
O the wild charge they made!
All the world wondered.
Honour the charge they made!
Honour the Light Brigade,
Noble six hundred!

as Democrats are. They are one and the same on that unwinnable war. But try to find at least one person on the Left who will dare criticize it. Maybe Bernie, but that's it. And they certainly don't exist on this Board.

And I also said that I preferred DeSantis over Trump.

You get real discussion and substantive differences from the Right on this Board. On the Left, they fell behind Biden and then promptly fell behind Kamala. They have no substantive points to make. They follow their leaders blindly and their election platform is TDS.

I was referring to the posters here... not their respective parties.

I have seen a single of your posts placing any criticism on Czar Putin.
