RFK Jr. says America is terribly unhealthy. If you compare the US to, say, the UK the EU Australia, Japan, Canada, or any other developed country, he’s absolutely right. The difference is not vaccinations, though. Those countries all have vaccinations. The difference is universal healthcare.

Firing Dowd for merely observing that Charlie Kirk was a divisive figure who pushed hate and created dangerous conditions is to fire a commentator for stating the obvious and speaking the truth. Shameful.

Well, I just looked up assassination in Wikipedia. Definition is the sudden killing of a well-known individual prompted by political, ideological or religious motives. John Lennon and MLK were not politicians but were assassinated because of who they were or what they represented.

This whole story highlights Trump's level of incompetence. He implements mass budget cuts and mass firings as tho he was using a machine gun instead of a scalpel, throwing thousands out of work. And he whines about lousy job numbers? Can he add 2+ 2?

Keep it up, Guv. Trump's already chickened out when Illinois pushed back on his threats to invade them. This is a good omen that if you, too, push back, he'll fold like a raw taco.

Looks like it's TACO time for the Trumptruck. Chicago... and the state of Illinois and Baltimore and Maryland...just stood up and told Trump to take a hike (along with his national guards). So he did us all a favor by chickening out & now is sending the Guards to New Orleans for...trash pickup?

Gov Gavin Newsom has already floated the idea of blue states, which send more than their share of taxes to the Fed government should stop doing so. Might be worth considering except I don't know how feasible that might be.

My vintage bicycle for a vintage cyclist. Mazda B210 Road bike, named "Baby". She's a great ride and has taken me many places. Left hanging in our garage by my husband's late husband, who died of AIDS before he could ride it very much. I upgraded it and she gets a lot of attention.
