I think of this map every time Trump and cabinet refer to any/all of the countries in red on this map. It is from a Wikipedia page on the North American Techocrat movement of the 1930’s. Weird coincidence?

I hope this isn’t correct. Children have even greater need for food as they grow. So a parent with an abusive or neglectful spouse should keep that person in the home to qualify for food support for their 8-17-year-olds? . . .
12.6% of Americans rely on SNAP benefits.

That’s 42.1 million people.

In addition, every $1 of SNAP benefits generates $1.54 in economic activity when benefits are used to shop at grocers.

Republicans want to destroy both the PEOPLE and the ECONOMY with their GREED.

To paraphrase Trump’s recent interview with Kristen Welker, (substituting billionaires for children):
“American billionaires do not need as many toys and American billionaires do not need to spend as much money on junk they don’t need.”
Sooo, let the 2017 tax bill expire and budget issues solved!

I hate that I am having to learn about the stock market. 😞
A play in two acts.

Robert Kennedy Jr. is a similar age to me. He recently said that he remembers families having “measles parties” to infect their children and create immunity. I remember get togethers for chicken pox but definitely NOT measles. Measles (both strains) were taken seriously in those I knew.

I read that Google Maps had changed the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. I assumed it was a fake story but here is a screenshot from Google maps.
Wow, what capitulation. I guess I need to check their post about Mount Rushmore. My other map app has not changed

I just called Ohio Senator Bernardo Moreno’s office to express my hope that he would vote down Robert Kennedy Jr’s nomination. The aide told me the Senator will be voting yes on every one of President Trump’s nominations, but he would pass on my view.

I had not heard about this. Chicken soup is not sounding so healthy right now.
Ohio leads the nation in bird flu cases. What’s being done about it?
Federal stats show more than 4.1 million chickens and turkeys in Ohio have tested positive for avian flu since the beginning of this calendar year.

I am taking some store pictures of products’ price tags, so I have visual evidence to compare to in a year or two. Eggs and other foods, prescription packages, cleaners, lumber, etc. I will see if the pics are useful. (I assume eggs will go down, since such a big deal was made of those costs.)
