This makes me furious and frustrated. I protest and no one cares. Yet one person could stop this. Sadly, he's senile and souless.

I know that the revelations about Cosby ruined his legacy, but Warner shone in the program. He remained a role model.

I have always supported Israel. But Bibi is a sadist as evil as the Nazis. He will destroy his country.

This is just sadism. I have always supported Israel but what the Netanyahu government is doing is as bad as what the Nazis did to them. There is no excuse for it.

That should make it easier for the rest of us to find them all, right?

Reposting this and a few other things for no particular reason today. Maybe Iโ€™ll do it tomorrow and the next day, too.

Medicaid expansion can rectify harm to Black people in Deep South For Black Southerners in states that have not expanded the program under the Affordable Care Act, the โ€œcoverage gapโ€ echoes generations of exclusion.

Everything intended for the common good is being cut. I suppose Congress will tell this woman she should become a fruit picker.

What will โ‚ฌ460,000 buy in France, Greece, Hawaii, Spain and west Cork? One price, home and away: A period home in Castelnau-Barbarens, a maisonette by the sea and more

Have they no shame? OK rhetorical question. I am ashamed on their behalf. I hope they all wind up living in boxes under bridges, having cut funds for any help they might have received.

Sharan Newman on Substack Since my days of research on the first English settlers of the US did not attract much interest, I think Iโ€™ll go back to the medieval world. Today, July 15th, is St. Swithinโ€™s Day. It was on the wea...

I want a list of "able-bodied" people on Medicaid. I've never met one.

Trump yesterday. "Putin had really surprised a lot of people. He talks nice, and then he bombs everybody in the evening. It's a little bit of a problem there, I don't like it." He just caught on?

I have noticed that antisemitism in Australia is growing. One can be pro-Palestinian and not blame Jews. I hate Netanyahu as much as I hate Trump. Bibi has made Jew-hating fashionable again.

In Ireland, after the Good Friday accord, the IRA turned in their guns (we think). In any case, the number of murders in 1924 using guns was three. 3!

I think that a lot of the people who voted for him hope they can get away with the same behavior.

A disabled US veteran and citizen is still missing after ICE raided Camarillo yesterday. The family canโ€™t get answers from authorities.

The similarities are striking. I'd start with the trained intellectuals thrown out of work and reduced to penury.

My mother was on medicaid for the last five months of her life in a nursing home. If only I'd thought to send her to work in the fields instead. She'd have died the first day. Rollins is ignorant and sadistic.
