Last night Liz Cheney lost her primary by double digits. Despite scouring the internet unable to locate the exact numbers, but it was big, and we knew it was coming. She is the final adversary of the fascist to go down in flames.
However, I see big things ahead with this woman should she decide to stay in public office, and big money should she take the private sector route.
Thank you, Liz for your service.
Consider becoming a democrat, and move to a blue state.
The people of Wyoming will come to see the error of their ways.
Have been trying to find a doctor for several months. 5 years ago I signed on with a doc but never can get through the phone lines, or an appointment within a reasonable timeframe. I called last Monday, and the message said I’d have a response in 24 hours. On Wednesday at 11 a.m., I was graced with a call back. I was in NYC, and had been waiting by the phone for 2 days plus when in Florida, and I mean that literally. I did not leave the house waiting. When I received the call back I was shocked, in the middle of something in NYC, and not equipped to make an appointment.
☎️
I told the scheduler the above information asking what to do. She said call back. and I said yes and wait 3 days by the phone?. I said thank you, good bye, and hung up. The next day the office manager called with a tone saying they were having staffing problems, someone was caring for her mother in hospice who any day would die, and they can’t keep up. Forgive me, but tmi, (too much information), and is this not a business? The women continued her rant getting louder, and talking faster. I said I did not want to be screamed at, and then she went on about she never screams at anyone – well, lady you are, but bit my tongue.
I was getting a tongue lashing when I only wanted an appointment. Then when I asked the purpose of this call she stated since I had berated her office staff I was not allowed to continue service with their medical group. At this point after being spoken to like a child, and attempting to get an appointment with this group for 5 years, this was a relief. Always liked the female doc there but something better is out there.
Yeah, it’s over!!! The woman finally shut up and got to the point..
Called 3 other practices, and no one was taking new patients. Recall, I am not Ashton Kutcher… Mayo Clinic only gives appointments to the prominent, or “interesting cases,” which Ashton had both, and I’m sure he’ll probably donate a building, or a million to Mayo.
I digress, though not my war with this group.
However, one gal from Baptist Health was kind, listened to my story about being kicked out of a practice, and referred me to medicare.gov. I now have a doctor and an appointment on Thursday. Wish me luck!
My daughter recently returned from Poland and this was the popular souvenir. We should sell it in the US. This could probably fund many weapons with the profits.
Today I should be writing about my idyllic visit to New York City, and I will. But returning a book to the library I was struck, literally struck by this. Campaign workers screamed at me attempting to stop my car to give me pamphlets for their party. One did succeeded as I feared I would drive over her. When I rolled down my window this young woman in her 20’s screamed, “Vote conservative.” I stated I vote Democratic, and rolled up the window. Gratefully, she moved away. I was saddened by this exchange, how does a young person not understand climate change with the weather in Florida, and having possibly 60 years left to live?
It is predicted in 30 years we can have days with 125 degree temperatures.
Conservatives are not going to address this as their agenda is pro life, banning gun legislation, and books in schools, and blocking any mention of the word gay.
This incident reminded me of what an acquaintance faced in Pennsylvania during a July 4th parade. A bus for doug mastriano arrived on the scene, and young people doggedly handed out his campaign flyers. doug mastriano is the republican candidate for governor in Pennsylvania, and he paid for buses to ship insurrectionists from Pennsylvania to DC for January 6th. When she said no to the pamphlets, and attempted to get away, she was chased. Absolute insanity, and again illegal.
Once in the library I told the election board officials of this incident. They had called the sheriffs, and these individuals were ticketed but they remained, no consequences. This is illegal, and I registered my concerns further, however, realized nothing further would be done.
Where is this going and worse yet does anyone care?
It’s always the loudest voice that gets the attention. I want to be louder.
Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, yearning to breathe free..
Immigrants are what make our country great. They provide diversity and inspiration. They work hard, are happy, and gleeful to be here. They have yearned to be an American all their lives, and make great citizens. And their children will outperform their parents, studying hard, and rise to heights making their parents proud.
Working in New York City for almost 10 years I can account first hand what it was to be around these folks. The years of tr with his disparaging comments made me sick to my stomach. I never understood as he was a New Yorker, and one who grew financially out of the efforts of these immigrants.
Of course there are always a few bad apples, but overall this is not the case.
It saddens me that after all these years we have no immigration reform, and what of the dreamers? According to my research the legislation passed in the House, but not the Senate, as it lacked 60 votes. Can you imagine being 40 years old, and sent back to your country of birth not even knowing the language? I am hopeful my research was wrong, but I think not.
In a recent article it stated we do not have enough population to support services in our country. Looking at all the help wanted posters, and advertisements begging for folks says it all. We desperately need people to fill these roles..
Transitioning immigrants into a work force will not be easy, but it can be done. The Irish, German, and Italians faced horrific discrimination when they arrived in the 1900’s. Can we learn from this? Can we rise above this? I think we can!
We need this influx of people to strengthen our country.
Feel free to send this to all those doubters who hate immigrants.
Our world is crazy, and listening to voices like FOX only make us crazier.
I understand why as the eye candy with the blonde hair, short skirts, and v necks are distracting. Men like to see stupid women, and viewers average age is 68, all white, and probably male though I couldn’t locate that statistic. Sex sells, especially with old men trying to recapture their youth, and Rupert Murdoch, an Aussie born Brit, and FOX owner, is responsible for this. He capitalized on this market and is laughing all the way to the bank as these crazed ideas split our country apart. I often wonder why? It is beyond money and greed, it is about destruction. He has unleashed something that will take generations to heal.
Sorry fellas, no legs or cleavage.
Fox has a near hypnotic affect on viewers, and holds the #1 spot in the news cycle. It is said they are getting bored with tr, and he hasn’t been granted an interview in well over 100 days. One wonders, what their next tact will be to keep viewers hypnotized, and foaming at the mouth to maintain ratings. Perhaps shorter skirts, deeper necklines, higher heels, and dumber women, but the key question..
How much more destruction do you wish to spawn in the United States?
Am in New York City today but write this article a wee bit earlier. As you read I am enjoying Evan Hansen, or hope I am. Heard mixed reviews on this play, but whatever the case am only spending $65. for a ticket, they premiered at $350. This is a real deal in Broadway terms, but don’t use my judgement on plays. Hamilton gave me a migraine, I didn’t understand any of the lyrics. Just too fast for me. If you are a Hamilton fan visit his home in northern Manhattan. Fascinating.
Prior to departure wanted to refill the pancreatic enzymes I am currently on. I take these critters before and after eating any morsel of food, or else an explosion of poo occurs within an hour or minutes. Immediate fatigue then occurs as digested food is absorbed from the colon, therefore, when food is not absorbed the body is not nourished, therefore, fatigue. A good biology lesson, but yes too much information, and I am contemplating anorexia………..
The Pancreas – kind of looks like a gun or erect penis. God, when you were creating us what was on your mind? So many things has this design.
Walgreens sent me an email stating I must pay $10,983.99, for the 810 pills. I freak as I was able to get these via AMAZON in a naturally, not federally regulated pill for $138. In the reviews folks who can’t afford the platinum version are buying these with the the same effect, no explosions. I call Walgreens. If I wait another 4 days I can get the drug for $200. as I am reordering too early. Does this make sense? And who pays for the $10,700. balance? Medicare? While I pay over $5000 a year in premiums this doesn’t seem right. Let’s hope Joe’s new bill fixes this one.
A wise senior man once said to me – “Why are they keeping us around so long?” I now know, so we can provide child care for our kids as the government never seems to fund that.
The Florida ads have been nasty with the republicans always calling out the candidates but never saying what they will do besides the usual:
Pro life
Conservative Values
Right to carry arms
Then the ad ends with their family, and never understood how all the candidates have blonde wives. Of course all the commercials in the South have women with long blonde hair whether they are selling a candidate or dental replacements. And, if they have a member of family in uniform they are omnipresent.
They need to put this gal in as their wife. They’d really get elected. Remember the movie Bombshell?
When discussing the individual they are running against it’s always loud, angry voices, and ear piercing music stating these claims:
Didn’t vote for tr or ron de santis – well, dah.. they are a democrat.
Always votes 100% of the time with Nancy Pelosi. Well, don’t all the repub always vote with Mitch?. Fact: they sign a waiver with Mitch once voted in that they will always vote the party line.
The Florida Governor Race Commercials
Have enjoyed the Charlie Crist commercials. He’s honest. says what he’s going to do. and for an older man he is incredibly sexy. Nice smile. HA! HA! in reviewing his credentials he’s held about every political job in the State, and currently is in congress. He wants to be the governor, and has been before. With his qualifications, and job experience he probably should run for President.
His competitor, the current governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis. Was surprised by his commercials as he is testy to the point of nasty with his stance on gays, Disney, school books being sequestered, and of course the artificial COVID numbers. His commercial today was a reading of letters from constituents thanking him for all he does.
He must be taking lessons from those Florida Big Box christian churches where the pastors make 6 figures as they brainwash the congregation in their bible interpretation. Recall Jim Baker? He’s still around doing a Pod cast in Missouri, while Tammy is deceased. I digress.. Sorry, needed to be said. I liked Tammy eyelashes and all.
She wasn’t homophobic, she had a heart.
The Florida Senate Race Commercials
Next, Val Demings – a pithy, former Orlando police chief, with a stellar record on decreasing crime now in the House running for the Senate.
She’s running against Marco Rubio, and her ads say he doesn’t come to work or vote, which Florida voters know but don’t seem to care. They laugh, but this ain’t a laughing matter. He never smiles, always looks angry, and disheveled. He tried to pass a bill so women couldn’t leave the state for abortion care, and this weekend dissed the cap on insulin coverage.
Marco, Do you even care? His ads are filled with old, obese, white policemen attacking Demings. It is a lie, and disgrace of what he is saying. Guess he can’t tell the real truth about Val, she gets the job done!
I’m just glad I have a functional mute button. Will be using it a lot this season.
I have always been healthy. I learned I had to from childhood as my parents did not believe in doctors. While they weren’t Jehovah Witnesses, they knew health care cost money, and were frugal/cheap, and too tell the truth, they didn’t like me.
For years before I knew of mantras I would say, “I am healthy,” numerous times of the day. It cures many ailments.
Try it, you may be surprised.
At 66 I am having some problems. While some issues are resolved, or resolving, answers are needed on other issues. Am trying to get an appointment with my doctor of 5 years ago, so today will be spent waiting by the phone for a call back.
Please ring soon..
These last 5 years I have been unable to get an appointment, and used quick clinics for assist. However, right now I need more involved service. And while that sounds like an oil change, and believe me that would be 100% easier, and cheaper on Wednesdays, I wait. I digress..
😥
Reading the news feeds this is going to even get worse in the red states. This is where I am located. Recruiters calling ob/gyn docs with job openings are hearing, “Roe vs. Wade,” and being hung up on. This I can understand, and already written of this. Either a doc treats and is jailed, or lets the woman die, and it’s manslaughter. Legal bills whatever the case, and with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of student debt who can afford that risk.
And unlike politicians, Doctors, follow their Oaths.
This article further stated family practice docs are hanging up the phone on recruiters as well. Many red states are considering or implementing laws where jail time is faced educating on contraception, or giving contraceptive means. This translates to health care for all as we loose family practice doctors. Guess changes in health care won’t be needed as we’ll be killing off the entire population.
With the senate vote on the Climate Change Bill it has been another big win for Joe Biden this week.. It’s been stated that the House will vote on Friday, and that vote is assured. Leaf, here I come! Who cannot consider purchasing an EV with these kind of incentives. Have you driven an EV? It is sublime…………
Think I’ll go blue with next car. I want to match my politics.
Listening to the pundits and polls over the weekend news feeds I hear repeatedly the Dems are going to loose their majority mid-term. They speak of Biden’s low approval numbers, inflation, and this, and that rhetoric but abortion is the issue. This is being swept under the carpet and not too fast boys, have a little secret tale to tell.
Remember her?
In another life while an administrator for the NYS Department of Corrections, I visited prisons throughout the State. It was during this time that Hill was running for the Senate. Most of the gals who work for the prison system are married to correction officers. On prison visit after prison visit I heard the same “secret” from these women. “My husband doesn’t know it, but I’m voting for her.” She won big in this election.
Women can be very secretive when needed, but one thing is certain…
They get the job done.
CNN, MSNBC, CBS, and Siena can poll all they want, but this is the issue on the ballot this year. Prior to Kansas voting the polls were 46 to 47% in favor of this issue. End vote: it won by almost 20 percent.
