Thanks to Congressional Repubs, including AK's Sullivan & Begich, the stations that disseminate warnings could run out of money to operate w/in a few months.

What's happening with the United Clubs at ORD? Food is lesser quality/options. Dirty bathrooms. Even the robot is dirty now.

The more they lie, obfuscate and deny the glaringly obvious facts, the more I suspect they’re trying to protect the signal chats we haven’t seen yet.

I used to recommend highly New Pathways Clinic (Dublin office, also others in Ohio) I no longer can. First, my NP was let go, I wasn't notified, they didn't contact her appointments, so I missed work for no good reason waiting for her online.

According to the CDC flu is only like 1.8 mortallity per 100k, but of course when complications then lead into pneumonia the combo jumps to 14.1 or 47k people. That is why it is important to get your boosters - and hopefully for the right strain.

Serious question. Why does Peacocks streaming service stink so much?
I finally gave up trying to watch something there and rented it elsewhere. I've never had success with sporting events there either.
