There was a time when a slight case of sniffles would be nothing to me, but with the state of the country, I just want to curl up in my bed with the curtains drawn and ignore the world. Oh well… off to work anyway.

Everyone is talking about the Epstein files and the distractions being used to keep the information quiet. I believe the Epstein files are a distraction to keep people from focusing on all other incompetent, illegal and suspicious activities with this administration.
