There are many different kinds of inhalers. Some are used once or twice a day to manage COPD and prevent acute exacerbations (attacks). Others are used as needed when an exacerbation occurs. As a result, most people with COPD use several different inhalers as part of the treatment plan. This article describes some of the concerns related to the use of different inhaler medications. It also lists the inhalers that should not be used together as well as several that may be OK....

But it was worse than that; Biden’s botched Afghanistan withdrawal was also a threat to every American’s domestic security. By short-circuiting the verification process and distributing blank, printable visas, the Biden State Department set the stage for the entry into the United States of at least 100,000 Afghan refugees, many of them unvetted. More than 70,000 of these refugees—without identification, or with background checks that are either incomplete or impossible to verify with any certainty—transited through Qatar, the Islamist Gulf emirate and Taliban strategic outpost that had spent years maneuvering itself into a place of influence in Democratic administrations....

Bloys told the publication, “Nope. That’s not something we’ve talked about,” when asked about the rumors surrounding Thrones films. Entertainment Weekly also asked about how many prequels could be part of the Game of Thrones universe. Though Bloys didn’t give a specific answer, he noted that however many HBO does, will be done “correctly.” “As you know, [author] George R.R. Martin has created a very large and detailed universe. What’s great about it is there are roadmaps and histories and characters that lend themselves to adapting for TV,” he explained....

First, any orthopedist will tell you there is no more temperamental and unpredictable injury than a shoulder problem. And second — and most important — the guy Ohio State is paying more than $4 million a year has a strong track record of moving forward and beyond injuries.

The movie’s noble aspirations are clear–Bosnia and Rwanda were obviously on the filmmakers’ minds–yet it’s hopelessly steeped in stale Hollywood action conventions. Director Antoine Fuqua, who did well with “Training Day,” flip-flops here between slaughter and solemnity, and his unvarying adagio pace only gives the cliches more time to expose themselves. And just now “Tears of the Sun” plays shamelessly into the hands of the Iraq war hawks, down to the on-screen Edmund Burke quote that ends the film: “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing....

Trump left Washington for Florida on January 20 when Joe Biden was sworn in as president. Since then, he has been staying at his resort Mar-a-Lago where he has set up home. The end of Trump’s single term in office has been marred by the Capitol riots, prompting his ban from all major social media platforms and second impeachment trial where he stands accused of inciting violence. However, Jason Miller, Trump’s senior adviser, told The Sunday Times that the former president has been feeling much happier since he left office....

Trump withdrew his endorsement of Brooks while arguing that the congressman had gone “woke” as he was trailing in polls, several months after he urged Republican voters to put a focus on the ex-president’s false claims of a “stolen” 2020 election “behind” them during a Trump rally. Although Brooks trailed Britt in last month’s GOP primary, both candidates advanced to a runoff election set for June 21. Brooks has denounced Britt’s candidacy, citing support from Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell as evidence that she does not fit the “MAGA” agenda, while recently begging for Trump to endorse him again....

“I believe totally in your freedoms, I do, you gotta do what you gotta do, but I recommend take the vaccines. I did it. It’s good,” he said, drawing boos from the crowd of supporters. “That’s okay, that’s alright,” Trump continued, brushing off the disapproval. “But I happen to take the vaccine. If it doesn’t work, you’ll be the first to know. But it is working. You do have your freedoms, you have to maintain that....

Even after his 2020 defeat, polls throughout 2021 and 2022 consistently showed Trump to be the clear choice of the conservative grassroots, with DeSantis representing a relatively small hold on the party’s voters. Trump’s endorsements defined last summer’s Republican primaries. And for better or worse, Trump’s words continued to control the news cycle, even as media buzz began to grow around the outspoken man from Jacksonville. But times change. And Trump—now faltering in those same polls—can’t ignore his DeSantis problem anymore....

Presidential physician Sean P. Conley’s memo describes Trump as “having made substantial progress since diagnosis,” and reports that he is conducting business from the presidential suite at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. Conley also confirmed that Trump had taken his second dose of Remdesivir and is not receiving supplemental oxygen. “While not yet out of the woods, the team remains cautiously optimistic. The plan for tomorrow is to continue observation in between doses of Remdesivir, closely monitoring his clinical status while fully supporting his conduct of Presidential duties,” Conley wrote....

The latest Morning Consult poll found that 58 percent of Republicans said they would get a vaccine after Trump’s intervention—the same proportion who said they’d get a shot before he sought to ease skepticism. Republicans voters were also more likely to be wary of getting a COVID-19 vaccine than Democrats and independents. More than eight in ten Democrats said they would get a shot, while 62 percent of independents said the same....

Speaking at the conservative Value Voters Conference on Saturday evening, the president told the crowd his approval rating was at 94 percent, lamenting that there were still those within the Republican Party who did not support him. “I am at 94 percent approval rating, but still you have people out there who don’t get it, they don’t get it,” he said, also suggesting that the Republican Party did not stick together as well as the Democrats....

While speaking to Mark Levin on his show, Life, Liberty, and Levin, the former president was asked how he felt about being blamed for the fuel crisis. Last week, Newsweek reported on the ongoing surge in gasoline prices and how it differs by state. The national average price for regular gas is $3.411 per gallon but that is not the case for all states. For some states on the West Coast, the price is much higher than the average....

The Associated Press and the national television networks called the election for President-elect Joe Biden on Saturday, after the results showed that he had surpassed the 270 electoral votes required to claim victory. Trump has baselessly claimed Biden won by widespread voter fraud and refused to concede. His campaign plans to file legal challenges in several states, including in Pennsylvania. Although Toomey did not fully admit that Biden had won the election, he suggested that the challenges in his state would not be enough to change the results....

In a press release published on Wednesday, Senators Patrick Leahy and Kamala Harris, who is also running in the 2020 Democratic presidential race, called on the Trump administration to hold a briefing on the “potentially devastating consequences” of the lowered refugee cap. Under the new limit, the government plans to admit a record-low maximum of 18,000 refugees into the country under the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program in fiscal year 2020, which began at the start of last month....

The former president recently sent a post on Truth Social reminiscent of the frequent attacks that he would tweet about SNL. Trump’s latest criticism of the NBC show arrived days after SNL parodied the January 6 committee’s possible final hearing on October 13. Among some of the skits from SNL’s cold open include actor James Austin Johnson portraying Trump engaging in a rambling phone conversation while sitting in the toilet, ending the call asking: “Is Mike Pence dead yet?...

While the hotel suffered those losses and needed to receive $27 million from one of Trump’s holding companies, DJT Holdings, Trump reported that the hotel brought him an income of $150 million, according to documents obtained by the General Services Administration. The committee said that $24 million of that was not repaid and instead went toward capital contributions. In addition to this lack of payment, the report outlined that the hotel entered an agreement with Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, a branch of German-owned Deutsche Bank AG, that provided the maximum amount of funding at $170 million....

Trump has continued to offer consistent criticism of the 2020 presidential election, calling on states to carry out audits and claiming the vote was “rigged” against him. There is little doubt the former president will raise the issue again in his remarks, which are set to begin at 7pm EDT. He might also touch on subjects that have recently drawn the attention of elected Republicans, such as Critical Race Theory (CRT) and the U....

At the height of his influence entering the 2022 GOP primaries, Trump sought to shape the Republican Party in his image, his endorsement in competitive races ultimately coming to define who conservative voters supported and who they didn’t. One of those he endorsed was Kevin McCarthy, the ambitious California congressman who, shortly after the January 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol, traveled to Mar-a-Lago to extend an olive branch after previously criticizing Trump....

Jason Miller, an adviser and spokesperson for Trump, told Fox News on Sunday the former Republican president would be making a social media return by creating a platform of his own. Miller told reporter Howard Kurtz: “Everyone wants him and he’s going to bring millions and millions—tens of millions—to this platform.” But the planned account has been criticized by the Proud Boys-affiliated group TheWesternChauvinist via its Telegram messaging service profile, which said Trump should instead choose to join social media network Gab which far-right supporters have embraced....
