Keys and I are both sitting in the living room, eating popcorn.
Both dogs are sitting in front of one of us, waiting for popcorn treats.
Any guess which one of us that would be? Who is the one most likely to give people treats to our dogs, essentially teaching them to beg?

I have no measles immunity. I've had several booster shots but blood tests indicate no resistance. I depend on herd immunity for protection. I depend on the sanity of strangers to not get measles.
Please, please, get immunized. Stay immunized.
Please, please, get immunized. Stay immunized.
Since we can’t rely on the HHS, CDC, or FDA to say it, I will:
MAKE SURE YOU ARE VACCINATED AGAINST MEASLES. GET YOUR MMR.
Measles cases have reached their HIGHEST point since the disease WAS ELIMINATED from the United States in 2000. We are at the tipping point for the return of ENDEMIC measles.

Some excellent shaming journalism from the Post. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
Hundreds of people cover the Pentagon. These are the 15 who signed its new press policy.
The Federalist, the Epoch Times, and One America News signed the Defense Department’s press rules. The rest are freelancers, independent or work for media outfits based overseas.
