The Trump has removed guidelines that suggest that men limit their alcohol intake to two drinks or less per day and women to one or less - replacing it with “Limit alcohol consumption for better overall health."
Clearly they’re trying to strengthen their hold on the State of Wisconsin

TONIGHT WE LIGHT THE FIRST CANDLE IN DEFIANCE!
Because WE know the meaning of the holiday
You tried you ruin Hanukkah for us, but you only highlighted its true meaning to the world
Because WE know the meaning of the holiday
You’ve absolutely hurt us, but we will cope with a candle

If we’re composing about calls to worship now I’d personally like to ask the Lutheran church down the street to stop blasting Amazing Grace on the electronic bells every damned morning when I’m trying to sleep
There are hundreds of issues facing us in this world - praying isn’t one of them

I’m watching this press conference thinking “Who among us doesn’t remember Obama standing before the cameras announcing that we’d killed Bin Ladin before going on to trash the Bush administration for not getting him sooner?”

Have to confess I am somewhat amused by hearing members of congress (both sides) screaming about “for profit” health insurance given that the for profit insurance industry was created in 1973 by Congress

Haven’t been on here much over the past few months because I mostly use social media to defend Israel….and frankly, that’s not all that popular on BlueSky
Returned today to discover someone has been taking screenshots of my posts on another platform and posting them here

Fun Facts: Only about 18% of Chinese imports come from the US - biggest imports include pork, beef, and soybeans
China has already shifted their beef imports to Australia, soybeans to Canada, and pork to Spain and Germany.
Not costing the Chinese people an extra dime

In 1967 Israel relied on the promises of the UN that their peacekeeping forces would provide a buffer between us and our enemies.
Then Nassar told the UN to move out of the way so the Egyptian army could attack……and the UN moved out of the way so Egypt could (and did) attack
