Women make their own decisions. Always have. Always will. In spite of every attempt to control them. Since Eve took a bite of that apple. You would think by now God and Man would have gotten the message.

One of those odd moments where Trump offers highly specific & totally inaccurate info about something no one asked him about: "Literally, you walk over from Iran to Qatar, you can walk it in 1 second. You go, boom, boom & now you're in Qatar” (they don't share a border)

Look into a lovely little "rehab company" in SoCal called 55 Silver and its wonderful CEO...

There's a good story to research and follow as they deal with lawsuits and possibly indictments

"Trump's “rescue” of Argentina is being spun as some kind of smart, geopolitical strategy In reality, though, it’s a $20 billion dollar sleight of hand that rewards hedge-fund insiders, props up a Trump foreign ally on the brink of political collapse, while leaving American soybean farmers stranded"

Few patients appeal a health insurance denial, but a little-known process that requires insurers and plans to seek an independent opinion can force insurers to pay for what can be lifesaving treatment.

Here’s what experts say you need to know.
How to Fight Your Health Insurance Denial with an External Appeal
When a health insurer refuses to pay for your treatment, you may have the right to have the denial reviewed — and potentially overturned — by an independent provider. Here are six steps experts sugges...

Enjoyed the New Yorker interview with Tim Curry, a free-wheeling conversation in which there were several sensitive questions about his paralyzing stroke. But oh my goodness, why was there no follow-up at all to this staggering answer? www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
Screenshot of text from the interview: You’ve always been an incredibly physical performer: your strut during “Sweet Transvestite” in “Rocky Horror,” or the way you run around unfurling the mystery at the end of “Clue.” Do you still feel that in your body? Does that live somewhere in you still? I think it does, but it’s angry. My mobility is angry to get out. But it’s not happened yet. I do a certain amount of physical therapy. I did a whole bunch of it at Cedars-Sinai, and I got very close, I think, to walking. That was tantalizing. For insurance reasons, I had to withdraw. And I have a visiting physical therapist now, but I can only really do exercises from my bed, which is pretty pathetic. It’s not going to get me walking, I don’t believe. [I have underlined the sentence "For insurance reasons, I had to withdraw."]

There are still a lot of people out there who want some magnetic leader to rise and lead them, and don’t realize that the longer they wait to take initiative to get involved themselves, the longer this nightmare will continue.

If you want something done, do it!

There's no "regular politics" anymore because you can no longer maintain the idea that we all agree on common goals but we only differ about the means of getting there or whatever. The guys in charge now are plainly amoral, sadistic nihilists. They delight in it! You can't civilly disagree with that

This is happening right now, to a friend of mine in Chicago. This is a peaceful area, with no previous unrest or crime problem. Just people trying to live their lives. My heart hurts. They're having conversations no family should have to have.
