    Did Krysten Sinema Turn Her Back Against the Seniors in Arizona?

    Kyrsten Sinema

    Wow! She Sure Loves Pharma Money

    Read what Kaiser Health News says about Sinema

    “Sen. Kyrsten Sinema formed a congressional caucus to raise “awareness of the benefits of personalized medicine” in February. Soon after that, employees of pharmaceutical companies donated $35,000 to her campaign committee.

    Amgen gave $5,000. So did Genentech and Merck. Sanofi, Pfizer and Eli Lilly all gave $2,500. Each of those companies has invested heavily in personalized medicine, which promises individually tailored drugs that can cost a patient hundreds of thousands of dollars.

    A Kaiser Health News database tracks campaign donations from drugmakers over the past 10 years.

    Sinema is a first-term Democrat from Arizona but has nonetheless emerged as a pharma favorite in Congress as the industry steers through a new political and economic landscape formed by the coronavirus.

    She is a leading recipient of pharma campaign cash even though she’s not up for reelection until 2024 and lacks major committee or subcommittee leadership posts. For the 2019-20 election cycle through March, political action committees run by employees of drug companies and their trade groups gave her $98,500 in campaign funds, Kaiser Health News’ Pharma Cash to Congress database shows.”

  • Is It Okay to Hate?

    Is It Okay to Hate?

    Justice

    In 2018, the United States Supreme Court recognized the “general rule” that religious and philosophical objections to gay marriage “do not allow business owners and other actors in the economy and in society to deny protected persons equal access to goods and services under a neutral and generally applicable public accommodations law.” 1

    On June 30, 2023, the Court, for the first time in its history, grants a business open to the public a constitutional right to refuse to serve members of a protected class.

    Then let’s make it public when a business wants to hate:

    • A notice should be prominently posted that their services cannot be used for gay marriages.
    • A notice should be prominently posted of their religious affiliation so that folks know that they should not use them in case they might be divorced, don’t believe in Jesus Christ, are an atheist, are in an interracial marriage, living together outside of legal marriage, etc.
    • Perhaps take us to the dark ages where we can post “No Dogs or Jews Allowed”.

    Despite what her speech filled with lies says, “The new legislation does not alter conditions for such funding and churches, mosques, synagogues and other houses of worship will not be required to perform LGBTQ marriages if it goes against their beliefs.” 2

    Rep. Bob Good (R-VA) must stop cherry-picking the Bible otherwise he also needs to admit that he is wearing mixed clothing, telling lies, bearing false witness against his neighbor and about 10 other Leviticus laws he has violated. 4

    “Cherry-picking is a logical fallacy, which is when someone chooses to concentrate on the evidence that supports their own perspective. It is the act of choosing and presenting just the evidence that supports a position while omitting the evidence that would support the opposite position resulting in a defect in thinking that undermines the argument.” 5
