I've seen the great importance of natural herbs and the wonderful work they have done in people's lives. i read people's testimonies online on how they were cured of HERPES, HIV, diabetics etc by Dr Erayo herbal medicine, so i decided to contact the doctor because i know nature has the power to heal anything. I was diagnosed with Herpes for the past 3 years but Dr Erayo cured me with his herbs and i referred my aunt and her husband to him immediately because they were both suffering from Herpes but to God be the glory, they were cured too .I know is hard to believe but am a living testimony. There is no harm trying herbs, Thanks.

Trump really won the election, and it lets us, over here in the streets of Our Town, believe that Daunte Wright was being arrested on a warrant for a marijuana charge. Or for dangling air fresheners! “<br /><br />Somerby pushes the idea that liberals and/or the “mainstream media”(he doesn’t distinguish) are at least as responsible as conservatives for the lack of shared belief. <br /><br />But this example doesn’t show that. <br /><br />Most of the print and TV versions of the Daunte Wright story got the details correct. What percentage of news reports actually mentioned a marijuana charge? What percentage of liberals actually believe this? <br /><br />What are the consequences of believing that Wright was being arrested on a marijuana charge, when the salient fact is that he was being arrested on a minor outstanding warrant and <i>was shot and killed by the cops</i>?<br /><br />On the other hand, what are the consequences when the factors Somerby mentions “let” Republicans believe that Trump really won? (By using the word “let”, he removes agency from all the Republican voters, who could weigh the evidence and listen to Liz Cheney instead of Kevin McCarthy.)<br /><br />Fully 70% of Republicans believe the election was fraudulent, and that leads the GOP to pass laws making voting harder for the “wrong” people, and to simply overturn an election they don’t like. <br /><br />And that is far more damaging to our country than being mistaken about why Daunte Wright was being arrested. mhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08937133532381705347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-87701700346136694522021-05-10T18:11:36.616-04:002021-05-10T18:11:36.616-04:00"Our Town has never been wrong!"

Funny how Somerby never says which experts think we're headed toward war, so that we could evaluate the prediction seriously. As vague as he leaves it, Somerby is largely just making threats. He is trying to elicit fear on the left, because fearful people vote conservative. But to elicit fear, he would have to get us liberals to take him seriously, and I just don't see that happening here -- his supporters are the same old conservatives, repeating the same tired things.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-63765701473670871602021-05-10T18:08:10.011-04:002021-05-10T18:08:10.011-04:00"Our Town is losing its sanity too!

"<br /><br />I have met Professor Haidt on several occasions. He is a conservative political psychologist and a nice person. But, Somerby is no liberal if he thinks Haidt is an apostle of sanity.<br /><br />Somerby's choice of intellectual heroes speaks clearly to his own interests -- he is no liberal and he is once again spreading conservative memes. For one, the idea that one cannot prove who won an election benefits only the right, since the left not only knows who won, but proved it repeatedly in courtrooms all over the country. Biden is president exactly because you CAN prove who won an election. It isn't as if Biden called out any army to ensure his transition, as Trump tried to do. He won and people knew it, and nothing Somerby or Haidt say can change that reality.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-8526948159945923842021-05-10T17:59:25.498-04:002021-05-10T17:59:25.498-04:00"In the end, all examples of widely shared na..."In the end, all examples of widely shared national belief are built upon social cohesion and trust.

Did FDR really defeat Herbert Hoover in 1932? If you don't want to believe that he did, there's no ultimate way that anyone can make you."<br /><br />This is a ridiculous statement. For those who accept reality, the vote counts show who won. If you live in fantasyland, then anything is up for grabs, including the existence of little green men on the dark side of the moon and reptilians walking among us. But people who do not accept reality are mentally ill (Somerby's favorite term). When Somerby himself suggests that there is no acceptable proof of who won an election, he puts himself right in the middle of that deranged contingent. That makes everything he says here specious since he has no epistemological compass. <br /><br />If I really thought Somerby was that unmoored to reality, I would be concerned about his mental health. I do not believe for a minute that Somerby believes much of what he writes here. He is working for conservatives to achieve defined goals that contribute to their political success. He is getting paid to peddle crap to people like Cecelia. And that makes him evil, like Trump and the other opportunists who follow him around waiting for crumbs to fall from his latest cheeseburger.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-11738227290705459282021-05-10T17:50:40.521-04:002021-05-10T17:50:40.521-04:00"Even in the more moderate part of the blue-l..."Even in the more moderate part of the blue-leaning state, McCartney found that GOP activists don't believe that Biden actually won, or feel that they aren't real sure."<br /><br />They interviewed "activists."

We all noticed blatant censorship (as in the case with one former Ukrainian oil company board member's laptop), the conspicuous postponement of the vaccine announcement, etc. etc. etc.<br /><br />Plus, allegedly - and extremely likely - massive voting fraud in several zombie cult-controlled cities.
