I had to say goodbye to my best buddy on 11-13-24, it was beautiful and peaceful as I held him in my arms at home on my couch. I’ll miss him forever.

I’ve been overwhelmed with grief (dad passed from Alzheimer’s, election, Bailey) in 16 days. My nervous system is shot.

I need to heal.

A good example of how an over-clever inversion/contrarian headline can produce bad journalism. We generally know the reasons why Americans' health outcomes are in relative decline vs other countries. Virtually none of them are tied to RFK Jr's big hobbyhorses.

Amazing. David Perdue spent his entire business career getting rich by outsourcing American jobs to China. He’s no China hawk - the CCP was his business partner! These people say one thing to their sheeple then do the exact opposite of what their base believes they are doing.
