Is Kelly trying to soften us up for what is in the Epstein files? Golly, gosh, at least it wasn't a 5-year old! As the parent of 3 former teenagers I don't see my rage being any less if they had been molested at 5 or 15. Hey Kelly, can you say "enabling bitch", sure I knew you could.

Blog #36 Post May 3rd, 2025 Omaha SaveTheBillionairesOrNot Walk This organization is a nationwide effort on the part of patients, healthcare workers,and family members to improve conditions in ESRD, transplants, and Dialysis

I've seen stories of Warren Buffett's magnanimity and generosity. It sounds easier to pull off than having to talk about the bruised backs he may have climbed over to get to the top! I've run into people who are willing to talk about those bruised backs-and I've seen it. 2025 Omaha Walk highlights:

Remember: If unions didnโ€™t matter, powerful corporations wouldnโ€™t spend millions of dollars every year to stop workers from organizing. Keep up the fight.

I've been getting that "commie" care at the VA - government funded. They just might have saved me from bankruptcy when I had a heart attack some years ago and was between jobs. The VA has been delivering great care at lower prices - and last I heard, the doctors weren't enslaved (free to go)

Posted on the Nebraska subreddit. Wasn't sure about the reception I would get. I'm a little unhappy with a Nebraska favorite son. Apparently Buffett isn't a favorite son with everybody. I got quite a few upvotes and even had a moderator put the kabash on a person who was giving me some static!

Email to CNBC's Becky Quick who is filtering out questions for Warren Buffett's Q&A on May 3rd This organization is a nationwide effort on the part of patients, healthcare workers,and family members to improve conditions in ESRD, transplants, and Dialysis

I'm emailing CNBC's Becky Quick to get answers from Warren Buffett about what is going on in kidney dialysis! I'm sure this is the year I get answers! (ok, I'm not holding my breath). But feel free to plagiarize what I've written or write your own bit to Ms. Quick: berkshirequestions@cnbc.com

Email to Omaha Police about May 3rd, 2025 Walk This organization is a nationwide effort on the part of patients, healthcare workers,and family members to improve conditions in ESRD, transplants, and Dialysis

I've written a police officer in Omaha about this just to make them aware of what is going on, an officer I've also written the last couple of years. And I've started writing the media. If nothing else, I can raise a little awareness. Email to Omaha police:

I consider the following Walk a blow against our corporate-bought democracy. Don't expect a Mother Teresa at your clinic bedside anymore, more like a guy with a spreadsheet.

Besides info about the Omaha Walk, take a look at the mortality rate for KIDS!!! linked to near the beginning of the blog!

I was informed by author and writer Matt Stoller in his newsletter BIG that the elitist side of the Democratic party is once again trying to knife us in the back while we are distracted by Trump (see reply for Stoller quote)

So much for the average Joe and Jane having a voice.

What??!!?? You don't trust a felon with 34 counts against him and at least 26 women pointing his way? Can only hope he'll see he is going to die and might want to hedge his bets about the hereafter. But isn't there a saying, a zebra doesn't change it's stripes? Still a sliver of hope
