One day the left will have to explain how sex - chromosomally immutable sex - is a matter of personal choice, but race - which is FAR murkier biologically and culturally - is fixed at birth. Which is to say nobody would be telling Will Thomas how wonderful he was if he’d decided three years ago to let the world know he now identified as African-American and intended to darken his skin so we could all play along too.

I doubt they would ever touch this topic with a ten foot pole.  Rachel Dolezal and Shaun King (did I get that name right?) don't want to play the reveal game.

"But what’s doubly absurd is that EVERYONE KNOWS THE TRUTH.

And I'm reminded of "Theodore Dalrymple"'s observation about the purpose of absurdly counterfactual propaganda in communist societies: 

"In my studies of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is ...in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A variety of emasculated* liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to."

* No pun intended!

It does look interesting, but I wonder what doses they would give. Augmentin (the first product they mention) is a very strong antibiotic to start with. If the picture is accurate, the azithromycin box is the standard dose used for sinusitis, but stuff like pneumonia requires a higher dose.

There is apparently a pretty good customer service support function with the thing, so one could make inquiries and maybe (I don't know) vary what your order contains.

I hope they would take care to know things like the patient's weight, as dosing is sometimes weight-dependent.

You apparently do a questionnaire and some extent of online consultation before they send you the package (they also check on allergies, other medications you are taking that might have interactions, etc.).  So far the reviews I'm seeing are very positive.  I think I'm going to do it.  I usually keep a small stock of Cipro on hand, which I refresh when I do business trips to South America (no prescription required in such countries).  But business travel having been shut down these last two years, it's time to replenish my emergency stock, and it would be good to have options beyond Cipro as well.

If Shaun King went "transgender" he could be "Talcum X. Kunti," and be one-up on Henry "Ibram X. Kendi" Rogers.

And, ordered.  I'll post here how this works out.  I do think (assuming this service/product works as advertised) this is a prudent, but not excessive, "prepper" action.

HuffPo belatedly notices that BLM is a money-grubbing racket.

In fairness, BLM isn't just a money-grubbing racket; it's also a terrorist organization.

Especially since there is evidence the whole Trump "Russian collusion" story was cooked up and paid for by the Clinton campaign, but there is clear evidence that Hunter had been colluding with anyone who would give him money for drugs and prostitutes. Even the Steele dossier bit about prostitutes and urination make no sense for Trump but do for Hunter.

So if Hunter was an unregistered foreign agent, that actually makes Biden ineligible for a security clearance due to foreign entaglements.

Evidence?  That's putting it mildly.  It's a matter of public record.
