Just pisses me off hearing Tapper discussing Trump’s health issues. Too little too late. Nothing from him during the election….just Biden’s age, blah, blah blah. Can’t stand Tapper.

This is horrific. RFK Jr’s CDC is funding a study in Guinea-Bissau which would involve deliberately withholding the hepatitis B vaccine from hundreds of newborn infants, putting them at great risk of death. They want to repeat Tuskegee.

Rick Grennel achieved a dream today by denying a Black woman her vote.
The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Everyone knows about Ahmed al-Ahmad, the Syrian Muslim migrant who took down one gunman. Another man, a Middle Eastern refugee, ran into a firefight and kicked the gun away from the other gunman. Police shot him, and bystanders kicked him in the head while he was down, thinking he was the terrorist.

I'm old enough to remember when the networks refused to carry an incredibly important speech at Independence Hall in Philadelphia by President Biden about creeping fascism in the U.S. because it was "too political".
Sure, but they'll broadcast every minute of Trump's propaganda bullshit. 🙄

I saw a Tik Tok about this lovely effort to search out a longtime customer who didn’t show up on schedule, get him to a Hosptial, and THEN find him a new apt next to the restaurant so they could keep bringing him his order during rehab and keep an eye on him generally.
I’m a vegetarian but Shrimp Basket seems like a pretty awesome place.
He ate at this restaurant every day. When he didn’t show, the chef saved his life.
Charlie Hicks, 78, a regular at the Shrimp Basket stopped showing up. The chef went looking for him and ended up saving his life.
