With gabapentin risks back in the news and Trump’s friendship with Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla reportedly behind new drug pricing agreements, it’s time to revisit questions about the drug, the company and its misleading marketing.

Two Neurontin Widows

After years of silence, two women who say their doctor husbands died from taking Neurontin (gabapentin) spoke out.

What began as something personal and private in their lives became a call for social justice, awareness and protecting the health and safety of others both women, Debbie Alsberge and Robin Briggs, told a reporter.

Stop HB 324! Protect Mifepristone

Ohio House Bill 324 would restrict access to mifepristone, a safe and commonly used abortion medication, and force doctors to deliver state-mandated medical misinformation.

An opposition hearing will be held by the House Health Committee on Wednesday, October 8th, at 10AM. Please attend if you are able. We want them to know we are watching and that we reject government interference in personal health decisions. 

It would be an interesting exercise if one might view and consider in retrospect the week that began with the United Nations General Assembly speech in New York on September 23rd that included the “Your countries are going to hell” performance by President Donald Trump followed on the 26th by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu experiencing the boycotting UN Delegate walk-out before moving on to Netanyahu subsequently at the White House revising the Trump plan for Gaza. The week concluded with the meeting by Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth at Quantico with America’s flag officers.

On Tuesday, our newly-dubbed “Secretary of War” Pete Hegseth told our military’s top brass that they must restore the “male warrior spirit” to the armed forces.

“Male” spirit, Pete? Excuse me, Pete. My mother, Gladys Palast, was honored by President Bill Clinton as the very first woman who volunteered for the US Coast Guard after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Let me tell you, Little Petie, Mom was a WARRIOR.

How DARE you insult my mother’s courage and initiative and then introduce General Bone Spurs Trump as the guy “who has your back.” Hmmm. Trump got out of the war in Vietnam by claiming he had a bone spur in one foot — but he can’t remember which one.

And let’s not forget, on the day after his second inauguration, Trump fired Adm. Linda Fagan as Commandant of the Coast Guard for no visible reason other than she has a vagina. Trump is lucky that Mom ain’t around anymore, because I know she’d go back to the White House to kick his ass and show him what a woman warrior can do.
