Florida woman who sued for ivermectin dies from COVID (added link on edit)

A Florida teacher hospitalized with COVID-19 has died after her husband unsuccessfully sued to force doctors to treat her with ivermectin, a drug popular among some skeptics of accepted coronavirus treatments despite a lack of studies proving its effectiveness.

Tamara Drock died Friday, 12 weeks after being admitted to Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center, Ryan Drock told the Palm Beach Post.

He sued the hospital last month in an attempt to require doctors to administer ivermectin, a drug used to treat conditions caused by parasitic worms. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has not approved the drug saying it hasn’t proved effective in pre-clinical trials.

Fusion GPS interview with House panel leaves huge pile of breadcrumbs for Trump-Russia investigators

GOP Rep. Tom Rooney said "the story about [Trump] financing Doonbeg in Ireland through money that we can't really trace but has sort of the fingerprints of Russian mobsters" was "fascinating."

Doonbeg is the home of Trump's hotel and golf course in Ireland.

"If we knew that Donald Trump was working with the Russian mafia to fund Doonbeg in Ireland, then there's no way he would be President," Rooney said. "So, I mean, that's why it's so fascinating."

Judge Randy Jinks Dismissed After Saying George Floyd 'Got What He Deserved'

Judge Randy Jinks, an Alabama public official who represents Talladega County, has been removed from office after being accused of racist and sexually inappropriate behavior.

The 65-year-old was unanimously ousted in an order last Friday, Oct. 30, after Judge Jinks claimed George Floyd “got what he deserved” after the Minneapolis resident was murdered by police officer Derek Chauvin in May 2020.
