What a disgusting item to find in my mailbox today. 🤢🤮
The folks at Medicare sent a picture of Dr. Oz the charlatan who has made a fortune from fake health information. If you follow Dr. Oz you will get taken for a ride. All part of the regime's disinformation campaign.

Why I plant natives

Seeing this headline reminds me of the Biosafety Protocol negotiations I attended. NGO's sitting on country delegations, making unworkable demands, and claiming no conflict of interest, when Industry are automatically labeled as biased - leading to endless gridlock!

Vinegar kills frogs and other amphibians. Glyphosate does not, and does not kill insects.
Insecticides kill insects.

Native plants are great bee magnets here in NC.

Gardening with native plants is insect and bird friendly.
These bumble #bees are all over the Penstemon digitalis (foxglove penstemon) in my garden in central NC, USA
#bees #garden #birds #pollinators #nature
My garden is certified #bird friendly too.

Sorry but dandelions are an invasive low quality weed in the USA. There are natives of much greater value to pollinators like Krigia. I have Krigia biflora flowering profusely in my garden in NC.

Did you know that the SS servers are not responding - can’t log in?
March 12, 2025 at 1:09 PM
Hey you can’t log in to Social security websites so you won’t know you are being screwed until the money doesn’t arrive!
March 11, 2025 at 2:05 AM
Social Security logins are broken. I can login directly to login.gov, but the link from SSA is broken.
Thanks President Musk!
Anyone know how to solve this, other than ejecting Elon?
