Joe Rogan took Ivermectin, zinc and a cocktail after testing positive . He was OK within three days.
He might sue CNN for slander claiming he took animal medicine. Ivermectin was prescribed to him by a medical doctor.

Small study of 24 consecutive patients in serious condition (9 days post symptoms, mean SpO2 87.4) using combined treatment with ivermectin, doxycycline, zinc, vitamin D, and vitamin C, showing no mortality or hospitalization with treatment. Two patients declined treatment and both died. This study uses a synthetic control arm.

The Master Racist Trump is crying over the removal of Confederate Laeder Robert E Lee statue in Richmond, Virginia. A racist crying over the removal of a racist Confederate leader statue. The fat Pig doesn't even hide his racism and bigotry anymore. Meanwhile, the House Negro Larry Elder is fuming over his upcoming loses that there's sheananigans going on in the California recall election. That's the new Republican mantra now. Whenever they lose election, it's rigged. Thanks Mr Fat slob Trump for trying to turn America into a Third World Nation.

All for a man that doesn't care about his existence. Smh. Anyway. He is now popular. Maybe there is a way he could cash in on that when he is out of jail. Like an Instagram influencer or something of that nature

These jihadists never stop to amaze me with their devious inventions.

Blackhawk helicopter is the latest form of gallows. Tie a noose around around a traitor's throat and fly him across town.
"Strike terror into the hearts of the unbelievers" Google who invented that phrase .

Excerpt:

I worked as a soldier at the coalface of Nato’s Resolute Support mission, which was supposed to train, support and assist Afghan security services and institutions. We provided security for advisers while they engaged with their Afghan counterparts in Kabul. Generally, this would mean picking them up, taking them to the meeting, providing security for the meeting and bringing them back to base. From my perspective, there were at least two fundamental errors in the mission’s approach. The first was the massive outsourcing to the private sector that underwrote the operation.

Let me state categorically, our service people are not to blame. The soldiers I served with, those who fought in Helmand and later safeguarded in Kabul, acted, almost without exception, with the utmost professionalism and valour. To have served alongside them is the great honour of my life. But Nato’s mission was not fit for purpose.

1)
When I was in Afghanistan, private military contractors numbered almost 30,000. Some were engaged in protection tasks, but many more were responsible for training and mentoring Afghans who held positions of significant influence. They advised on intelligence, war-fighting, diplomacy, policing, you name it. Some of them were doing their best. Many more didn’t give a damn. Many were on six figures and had been for years. Afghanistan for them was a cash cow, a way of putting their kids through college (most were American) or paying off a mortgage. In sum, there were too many poorly qualified people working without accountability, getting paid far too much. If you want an answer to the question of why Afghanistan’s military crumbled in weeks, take a long hard look at their so-called mentors.

2)
Then there was the simplistic assumption that everyone in Afghanistan could fall into two categories, enlightened liberal reformers who would welcome a western presence, and conservative folk susceptible to the Taliban. Needless to say, things were more complicated than that.

3)
There were some pretty unsavoury characters who worked with us in Kabul. One morning, an interpreter who had worked with the British for decades sidled up to me at breakfast and pointed at a young Afghan woman who also worked as an interpreter. In a voice loud enough for her to hear everything, he declared her a “filthy LovePeddler”. His reason? She was wearing a pair of jeans and a bright pink headscarf. This sort of language and these attitudes were commonplace and generally went unchallenged by soldiers and contractors, who didn’t want to be seen as undermining locals. And if they were accepted in a Nato base, what hope was there of combating the Taliban’s brutal misogyny?

4)
Corruption existed at every level. One afternoon I provided protection for a meeting between an Afghan air force lawyer and his US adviser. As I sweated into my body armour, they discussed an investigation relating to unauthorised travel on Afghan air force flights. In brief, the Taliban had been able to board flights reserved for Afghan soldiers and fly across the country with impunity. After several hours of back-and-forth on how best to proceed, the American eventually lost his cool and shouted: “You have to get rid of these corrupt people!” The Afghan lawyer calmly answered: “Would you like me to disband the entire Afghan air force?” The American had no answer to that. The west has had no answer to that for 20 years.

5)
How Nato believed that these fragile institutions were capable of holding back a group like the Taliban, who spoke with one voice and strove towards one end, is beyond me. In truth, it probably didn’t – it was accepting of Afghanistan’s fate and the fate of its hopeful youth.

Nigeria has been sold out to China. China can still offer more loans for the Nigerian gov to help flush out Taliban and ISIS in Afghanistan.

Appreciation post. The US troops are doing an excellent job. Kudos to them.

These cursed idiots lives a life you can't even imagine with their okrika T Shirts and torn Jeans. I see these kind of idiots at Awolowo Roundabout in Ikeja with their weather beaten face and smelly and sweaty bodies like a rotten tomatoes but like you said, they are giants on Nairaland. That's the only place they count. Boko Haram God forbids overwhelm Nigeria, where are these poor peasants going to go without passports and visas. Buhari's in Kano marrying off his son to the Emir and these N40.000 monthly earners are so engaged with America while Nigeria is about to fall of the cliff. Worthless and poverty cursed bunch

The U.S still has numerous options to salvage its broken image currently in d light of what is going on in Afghanistan:
(1) Joe Biden should either be forced to resign, or impeached for dereliction of duty, brazen incompetence and endangering the lives of American citizens abroad (taking into perspective d chaos in Afghanistan).
(2) Also, The 25th Amendment can be invoked with the Vice President presiding over it. Biden does not have the mental capability to make critical decisions when d chips are down. This further endangers the lives of not just U.S citizens but other foreigners as well e.g The current debacle playing out in Afghanistan where foreigners are forced to evacuate their citizens. Many other lives are on d line.

Liberals will be mad at this but that's the honorable thing to do.
