So let’s see … Read the rest

I love to cook. I almost went to chef school instead of medical school. The chefs I know work VERY long hours though, probably more than a doctor! When it came time to decide sunny Grenada won out over rainy, … Read the rest

There’s lots of discussion about a certain candidate’s cognitive abilities lately and I previously discussed them in my post https://drjonsicu.com/biden-i-dont-think-he-can-pull-this-off/ You might want to go back and read that. So what’s likely going on here? I think we are witnessing … Read the rest

Throughout the Covid pandemic we’ve heard the phrase “herd immunity”. So what exactly is it? It’s appearing not to be as simple a definition as we thought. Scientists are learning things they never knew during Covid and they are re-thinking … Read the rest

I’ve been thinking about U.S. and Russia’s political relationship over the last 200 years. How did we get to the point of being “enemies” and Russia being labeled the “Evil Empire” by Ronald Reagan? Why did Russia attempt to influence … Read the rest

Well Joe Biden’s “handlers” have picked his Vice Presidential running mate, Kamala Harris. If Biden is elected she most likely will be the next President sometime in the next couple of years as it’s pretty clear that Biden will be … Read the rest

Joe Biden firmly planted his foot in his mouth AGAIN yesterday when he said that “Most people don’t know, UNLIKE THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community.” Today he’s being told by his”handlers” how to “walk … Read the rest

A month ago the polls had Joe Biden ahead of President Trump by double digits. In the last 2 weeks that gap has closed significantly with some National polls actually showing a Trump win. At the very least Trump’s downslide … Read the rest

Yesterday CEO’s from Amazon, Apple, FaceBook and Google were testifying before Congress about anti-trust regulations. The question at hand is whether these four companies regulate more of the U.S. economy than our public officials do. Anti-trust laws are about monopolies. … Read the rest

It seems that some of those high in the Democratic Party are MORE than a little concerned about Joe Biden’s ability to make it through the next 3 months of campaigning. It’s a minefield he still has to get through … Read the rest

5 years ago I gave up eating beef. I eat lots of fish and chicken and try to stick with lots of vegetables and beans. I’ve tried lots of vegan based “burgers”. Some of them are “ok” but it’s not … Read the rest

Seems like I spend most of my time writing posts to counter conspiracy after conspiracy on Anti-Social Media. Today I’m going to tackle the ongoing siege on the fact that hospitals get “paid” more for a Covid patient and patients … Read the rest

I’ve been thinking a lot about the verbal “war” taking place on anti-social media. I’m a fan of history and some of the things I’m seeing have also happened in the past but usually by governments, not individuals. I’m not … Read the rest

Very interesting and informative resignation letter from a journalist that WAS working for the New York Times. Kind of goes along with my post today on the “Cancel Culture”. I used to like the NYT…..now I’m not sure if even … Read the rest

It’s Sunday…….I think….headed out on the boat but I have a new post I’m working on about the CANCEL CULTURE movement we’re experiencing. You better learn about it because it’s coming to a neighborhood near you soon!!

During the lockdown I stumbled on this series of YouTube VLOG’s from “Bald and Bankrupt”….a terrific Brit that travels around Russia and the countries of the old USSR. Fascinating and you get to see the “real” people of Russia and … Read the rest
