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?

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?

I don't follow celebrity social lives. Like at all. I often look like the dipshit in the room for not know who is dating whom. So I watched an interview with Swift/Kelce to see what this was all about, and y'all, as a man who has been in love with the same woman for 30 years, those kids are in LOVE.

Interestingly enough...I read John Bolton's memoir, The Room Where It Happened, about his time with Trump. He also mentioned Trump's body odor. I dislike Bolton's politics, but I respect his integrity and honesty. So, if he mentions this...must be true ...

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.

I've not seen too many Marvel-based films but all the ones I have seen have some interesting meta physics involved, but get buried in over-the-top (and over long) fight/battle sequences. I don't think I've missed much. Looks like their audience is getting bored too.

I was uncomfortable seeing people popping champagne at the execution of the murderer of one of their relatives. Likewise at the celebrations when bin Ladin was killed. I did felt relief though. I would hope I'd feel relief at his passing, though. People can commemorate however they wish.

When people complain to me about our immigration system, I ask them why do they think we do it? Why do we let in so many immigrants? Do they really think it's just to be nice? Or do you think it's so companies can exploit them? Your ire should be directed at the capital class.
