I’m going to repeat the entire column here because it’s short, but also because the consistency in the paragraphs is admirable.
Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan, who voted for Donald Trump, is speaking out against Trump’s ban on refugees and on all entry from seven majority-Muslim countries. While NBA representatives have been vocal in expressing their disapproval of the ban, the NFL has been mostly silent—making Khan’s voice a prominent one.
Khan, who voted for Donald Trump, is himself Muslim. He told the New York Times he had expected Trump to be more moderate upon entering office and praised the court system for blocking the ban.
Khan, who voted for Donald Trump, is himself an immigrant. He told the paper that the ban is “not good” and that he believes immigration is the “bedrock of our country.” The Jaguars owner was born in Pakistan and arrived in the U.S. in 1967.
Khan, a registered Republican who voted for Donald Trump, also spoke of his support for a human rights ordinance in Jacksonville that would make it illegal to discriminate against members of the LGBTQ community. That law—similar to those in more than 20 other cities—has been consistently rejected by Republican politicians in that city.
Khan, who voted for Donald Trump, also told the Times he is a strong proponent of NAFTA and that he opposes Trump’s attempts to repeal it.
I noticed at the bottom of that article somebody had posted…
Exactly. Khan, like most Republicans, doesn’t care about what happens to others as long as his particular issue is supported/left untouched. It’s only when it hits home that he gets it. Lack of empathy is the bedrock of the Republican platform.
Beauty knows no pain, and it’s not a joke.
Donald J. Trump uses hair loss medication that causes mental confusion, anger, mood swings, sexual dysfunction, and even suicidal tendencies.
Just the kind of drug you want the guy that is in charge of our nukes to be taking.
There are certain safeguards in place to keep this from being as simple as someone walking in and pushing a button. I mean you talk like he’s the only one with the codes and the combination to the toilet paper safe they’re kept in, LOL.
I’m also glad to see making fun of people who take medication and suffer from side effects is still alive and well. It makes me feel like dancing.
😃
Medication for a life-threatening condition that causes negative side effects is unfortunate. Medication for a lack of self-esteem and inability to deal with natural aging that might cause you to rant like a loon and possibly destroy the country is worthy of mocking. We all know you’re going bald, Donald. Just accept it and quit taking the pills.
There are a lot of men in lesser places than Trump that take the medication so are they all worthy of mocking or just Trump cuz he’s Trump?
Here is a little note in the article that FF posted …
For both drugs, the effects on hair loss were discovered by accident, when patients were taking them for other reasons. Minoxidil, in pill form, was used to treat high blood pressure, and finasteride was prescribed for prostate enlargement. But balding patients noticed that some hair grew back.
Finasteride can have side effects, including decreased sex drive, erectile problems and a decreased volume of ejaculate. But those reactions are not common, affecting less than 2 percent of the men in studies. The only way he’d be suffering the other stuff is if he was taking like 5X the normal doseage.
Dr. Alexis said he warns patients about the potential problems, and that some men decline the drug as a result. But many decide to try it, and they generally stick with it, he said.
The drug also carries a warning that men 55 and over who take it may have an increased risk of an aggressive type of prostate cancer. But the warning is based on studies of a dose five times higher than the dose used for hair loss. The higher dose is used to treat enlarged prostates.
The risk, if any, for men taking the smaller dose is not known, Dr. Alexis said.
Something to note on these “side-effects” … I read a few different articles and the facts seem to be a bit jumbled making it difficult to know exactly which set of stats are most accurate.
