The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Oh, look the leader of the former free world thinks it’s more important to worry about Cracker Barrel‘s logo than about children being starved to death in Gaza and children being kidnapped in Ukraine, while his buddy Putin rapes tortures and murders its citizens.

Had we had brave legislators and citizens like they did in South Korea we wouldn’t be in this fix right now in the U.S. They remember their history being under the boot - they immediately fought tooth & nail for their democracy, scaling walls demonstrating in the streets. Shame on Americans.

Have you ever tried a TENS unit? My back hurts so bad some mornings I can barely get upright and get out of bed but a $30-$50 tens unit you can buy at any drugstore will help a lot.

The nationwide measles outbreak now stands at more than 800 cases, but you probably don’t know that since RFK Jr is keeping a tight lid on that news. The orange areas in the below map show where the vaccination rate is under the 95% coverage target among kindergarteners. That’s a LOT of orange!

Maybe allowing your fundamental religious pharmacy employees deny women rightful medications for birth control had a part in this too. Even though I’m long passed child bearing age that’s what turned me away from being a Walgreens customer.
