This piece by @Julie_Appleby deserves your attention. If approved, catastrophic plans put us back into the stone age: expanding access to them means sick people won't be able to pay for the life-saving care they might need. This is no way to run a healthcare system. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

I'm willing to take President Trump's claim that there's no quid pro quo with the Qatari gov't for a $400 million dollar jet.

Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani can demonstrate there's no exchange. Personally, I have nothing of value to offer. If Qatar sends me a 747, it'll put this kerfuffle to rest!

POTUS is a demanding job.

It's not about being woke to call out Reagan or Biden's clear declines as President.

Neither is it inappropriate to call out Trump's feebleness.

Rather, we are compelled to ensure the men and women elected to office are fit for the enormous task ahead of them.
