#1 The drug companies are more powerful than our government. Never gonna happen.

#2 Deep State betraying it's benefactors ?

The absurdity of this threat ranks alongside issues and events such as: The conflict in Ukraine, the pending war with China, COVID bat caves, BIO 'Gain of Function' denial, the HAMAS 'surprise' attack, the real Ray Epps, the Epstein suicide, the FTX accounting errors, the unknown 6Jan D.C. bomber, the unsolved Seth Rich murder, the 2020 Trump election defeat, the Clinton servers, Gov't funding of EV charging stations, or OJ finding the 'real killers.'

We are given so little intellectual credit by the D.C. elites. So very little indeed. I'm with Gutfeld; "I hate these people."

#4 Oh, yes, do away with drug patents. My generics look different every time I refill my prescriptions and I can tell which ones seem to be working poorly or not at all at times.

The wonderful results of putting price before purity.

#7 Under a plan announced Thursday, the government would claim the right to control prices on drugs developed with the help of taxpayer money.*

I recall a congressional hearing in which a Big Pharm maker claimed that the cost to recoup the expense of development justified the high price. Only to be cut down by a congresscritter who pointed out that for that particular drug the US government had paid for all the R&D.

* given that Big Pharm slipped lots of compromising money to CDC and NIH personnel as shown in the COVID scam, it would be a 'dish served cold'.

#8 In congress yesterday I saw Ron |Paul speak to introduce a resolution to reestablish congress as the sole war authorization authority. Then I hear overnight inventory on military stockpiles in counts of 30 to 1000 quantities of many varieties. We have so much product no one knows how much. Idaho seems to have more than their fair share. I would bet Ron Paul knows what is going on and wants congress to reestablish their authority to declare war. Not have Biden authorize massive attack. Why put so much in the gulf or Indian ocean to provoke attack with Biden having his red phone or codes. Our troops are on alert and they don't know what day to the next when or where they are deployed. Meanwhile several with high security levels are moving off bases at least 20 miles away. I see Russia and China using North Korea as we have used Ukraine to attack. So North Korea sends a nuke from their sub off our coast then will Biden stop with North Korea. They want to destroy China so who knows how this story ends.

#9 ^ Ron Paul hasn't been a congressman for a while now. Rand Paul is a senator and his laudable frequent calls for the USA to get out of pretty much all of our foreign entanglements are totally ignored by the rest of the GOP senators.

#10 Yes, Rand Paul. Very eloquent presentation. Ignoring him would be normal in DC. Biden will do whatever he wants anyway.

Yeah, and you don't want to know where they came from.
