Biden mistakenly thanks Colombia for hosting ASEAN summit in Cambodia

Biden speaks at ASEAN about need for cooperation and international law, though he did not mention China

Joe Biden has now twice referred to Association of Southeast Asian Nations summit host Cambodia as Colombia, including Saturday during remarks opening the talks.

"It was an honor to host at the White House in May, and now that we are back together in Cambodia," Biden said as he opened the talks. "I look forward to building even stronger progress than we've already made. I want to thank the prime minister for Colombia's leadership as ASEAN chair."

The usurper was speaking from Cambodia, the site of the ASEAN meeting, chaired by Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen.

This mirrored an earlier gaffe made just before departing for the meeting, when he told the press he was "heading over to Colombia" before correcting himself.

Biden's talk heavily emphasized the U.S. commitment to free, fair and ethical trade in the Indo-Pacific.

His remarks notably did not mention...

Maricopa County Officials Say No Final Election Results Until At Least Monday; Kari Lake Still Confident She’ll Win

There will be no final results in Arizona election until at least Monday, possibly longer, Bill Gates, Chairman of Maricopa County’s Board of Supervisors, told CNN on Thursday. There are about 400,000 ballots left to be counted in Maricopa alone, along with a few “onesies, twosies here and there,” he said.

“I think that we’ll see the lion’s share here wrap up by early next week,” Gates said. When pressed, he wouldn’t promise that Maricopa County would be finished counting by

Monday. “Maybe,” he told the CNN reporter.

Former news anchor Kari Lake is locked in a close contest with Democrat Secretary of State Katie Hobbs (49.6 to 50.4 percent) while Republican senatorial nominee Blake Masters is trailing his Democrat opponent Senator Mark Kelly by five points (46.3 to 51.5). The race for the state’s attorney general is also neck and neck between Republican nominee, Abe Hamadeh (49.8 percent), and Democrat nominee Kris Mayes (50.2 percent). The remaining votes to be counted, however, are said to strongly favor the Republicans.

There are still 621,000 votes to be counted across the state, reportedly.

Heavily Republican Election Day voters in Maricopa County faced long lines as around 25 percent of their ballots were rejected due to printing issues. On Wednesday evening, the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors released a joint statement acknowledged that 70 out of 223 voting locations were impacted by the printer issues on Election Day.

The printer settings for the Ballot-On-Demand printers at Vote Centers were the same ones we used in the August Primary. The paper was the same thickness. Prior to the General Election, the Elections Department test-printed and test-tabulated hundreds of ballots without issue.

We are committed to finding out what factors changed that led to issues at 70 Vote Centers on Tuesday. We are grateful to county techs who found a fix to the problem by adjusting printer settings.

The supervisors said around 7 percent of ballots, or around 17,000, were impacted by the printer issues.

Voters were given the option to place their ballots in “Drop Box 3” to be counted later. Those 17,000 ballots—which are expected to lean heavily Republican—are now being counted, according to ABC15 reporter Nicole Grigg.

Pollster Rich Baris disputed the notion that only 17,000 votes were impacted by the tabulation issues, given how widespread the problem was on Election Day:

The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) filed its motion and amicus brief Thursday evening with the federal district court in Galveston urging it to allow the lawsuit to proceed against the FDA for its misleading statements against ivermectin. In Apter v. HHS, a group of physicians sued to hold the Food and Drug Administration, a federal agency within the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), accountable for its interference with physicians’ ability to treat Covid-19.

“Defendant FDA has improperly exploited misunderstandings about the legality and prevalence of off-label uses of medication, in order to mislead courts, state medical boards, and the public into thinking there is anything improper about off-label prescribing,” AAPS writes in its amicus brief to the court. “Not only is off-label prescribing fully proper, legal, and commonplace, but it is also absolutely necessary in order to give effective care to patients.”

Yet the FDA published multiple statements and sent letters to influential organizations to falsely disparage ivermectin, implying that it was not approved for treating Covid-19. Many, including courts and state medical boards, were misled by the FDA into thinking that its lack of approval for this treatment meant that ivermectin should not be used to treat Covid-19.

“It has never been proper for the FDA to interfere with that essential part of the practice of medicine, and the FDA knows it,” AAPS informed the court. The FDA “insisted and continues to insist on interfering with the prescription of this safe medication by physicians in treating Covid-19,” AAPS added.

AAPS General Counsel Andrew Schlafly pointed out to the court that the FDA “has engaged in a campaign of interference with the proper use by physicians of ivermectin, which has long been approved as fully safe for human use.” He alerted the court that once the FDA approves a medication as safe, then physicians have full authority to prescribe it to treat any illness, particularly a...
