Just trying to make sense of it all. Use your own mind. Don't relinquish it.
The cost of free healthcare for illegal immigrants is too mich for California.

CA spends billions of $ on this free healthcare. Imagine if CA diverted that to help its legal citizens pay ballooning ACA costs.

It's about @governor.ca.gov's priorities.

Is saturated fat bad?

For me the question still remains. The article points out flaws in the original science.

However, the new science, which reverse the original claims is lacking.

Ex: I know of no correlation between reducing saturated fats and obesity.

Interesting. The CalSavers retirement program. How is this different from what Republicans have often suggested?

- It's voluntary for employees to make contributions.

- Funds are invested into stocks.

It's a private retirement plan.

This Patriots team is good, not great.

They're soft. The D can't stop short yardage runs when needed. Can't stop teams in the redzone.

Drake Maye is unproven. He has zero come from behind wins, which is the hallmark of a great QB.

Can the @democrats.org make bigger a$$es out of themselves.

The CDC estimates ~100,000 Americans die each year from drug overdose.

These drug traffickers are murders. I'd have no problem with killing them twice.

@democrats.org are enablers of drug use.

Americans coming to their senses.

Why are prices high?

- Auto manufacturers catering to high end because more profit there.

- Lower income buying those expensive models. Now defaulting on payments.

- High salaries for auto execs.

- Unions driving up costs.
