Just spoke with my CDC sources: a new COVID-19 variant, NB.1.8.1, is spreading across Louisiana, NYC, LA, DC, Colorado, and more. It's also fueling surges in China, Hong Kong, and other parts of Asia.

Poor Pete Hegseth. It looks like he gave up drinking for nothing.
The Pentagon is in "total chaos" and Pete Hegseth is unlikely to remain in his role, according to its former top spokesperson, who painted a scene of dysfunction, backstabbing and missteps at the highest levels of the department.

"The building is in disarray." www.politico.com/news/2025/04...
Former Pentagon official warns department's dysfunction could topple Hegseth
“The last month has been a full-blown meltdown at the Pentagon,” John Ullyot, the former top Defense Department spokesperson, wrote in a POLITICO Magazine opinion piece.

Five public health facts RFK Jr doesn't want you to know:

1. Vaccines work and are safe.
2. Solid fats aren't health foods.
3. Random dead animals you find lying around are not safe to touch (or eat).
4. Methylene blue is a dye, not a miracle cure.
5. Measles is bad for you.

"Given that I was marching at age 3, you know I’m not letting any coup-plotting, election-denying, insurrection-supplying autocrat, kleptocracy, plutocrat or theocrat, or any techno-feudalist Silicon Valley broligarchs aspiring dictator, turn me around now.”

Amen!!

I'm curious to know how many other self-publishing authors are using Microsoft Co-Pilot AI to generate images for their Kindle Direct Publishing book covers. #authors

Oh frabjous day! Our eight-person walking team, the "245 Beacons," finished first place in the Boston College-wide competition. Other than a nifty tee-shirt or water jug, our reward is to bask in the glory for a short while. It's the little things in life that get you up in the morning, right?
