And Pennsylvanians may also thank the administration for measles. #healthcare
History just nervously smokes in the corner
The economy baked a bigger pie then handed everyone a smaller fork. https://youtu.be/Cc21Z2WeWdU
Increasing conversations about sleep in the professional sectors. As with sugar, lack of sleep underlies an overwhelming number of conditions--nagging and sometimes life-threatening.
I bit of encouraging news. I have placed the link to the article in the second post.

This killing and destruction is incongruent with promises by a deity. Even acceptance as valid the claim of a land promised by God, surely this was not the way He would deliver on said promise.
I’ve been watching how many people skip routine checkups now.
Not fear. Just fatigue. Sick of having to wait.
Reminder.
The Trump Crime Family
I’m realizing politics is patience. Not the good kind either--not waiting for lawmakers to make studied decisions and such. Rather it is the citizenry waiting for politicians to finish their gala events, red carpet, 25 week vacations, touring the networks with porcelain veneers shining.
I’ve been trying to understand how budgets work in politics.
Sufficient examples of how budgets DO NOT work.
Some of our thoughts should never seek an audience.
And as our local councils argued over budget priorities, the communities slipped a bit further into cynicism and discouragement. Maybe, as has been said, changes will have to be initiated on local levels. Hold these local councils accountable.
General Summary of Political Landscape: By midweek, Congress had issued statements that canceled each other out. Also: None of our leaders are curious about troop deaths in the war Israel invited us to. Nope, not Democrats either.
Allow me to self-indulge with a summary of my week thus far: Monday reminded me the country runs on caffeine and denial. I contributed both. Though denial is hard to maintain if you have any awareness of current events.
"May Block..." My God.
The Supreme Court begins its term with public confidence in it at a nadir. And Trump still jerking CNN, Politico, and MS around, excluding Politico from the plane and therefore its role as pool rep today. Looking forward to discussing on @cnn w/ @lauracoates.com on set at 11:40 PM ET.
