Trump and the GOP have vowed to end real Medicare “immediately” if he becomes president. What do they plan to replace it with? And how badly is it going to screw us all?

1. New iPad Air arrived a day early & was a breeze to set up. (Unlike the olden days when upgrades were 48 straight hours & a million crises.) Does this keyboard make my font look fat? 🤪
2. Carpets & kitchen floor tile cleaned, yay!
3. The city won’t come capture the 3 stray kitties but one or both local grandkids will. Meanwhile, the cat food fairy arrived & I named mama cat “Felicia,” as in, Goodbye, Felicia.

It is truly sickening that we need agencies to feed children in America that will go days without secure meals while corporations make billions and record profits year and year. Anyone telling you this is a Christian nation needs to be asked why they lie about it. Christian my ass.

I'm gonna share some completely anticlimactic TMI for the benefit of other middle-aged men:

The day before yesterday, I was very stressed and anxious for a variety of reasons, and we were moving some furniture out of a storage locker, and I was feeling lethargic and a little lightheaded and generally out of it, and then I began feeling nausea and indigestion and my jaw was tight and then my left arm and hand started feeling a little numb. Nothing terrible! Just: feeling meh, and those minor symptoms.

And then guess what crazy thing we did?

We went to the nearby emergency room.

Yep.

And they were very nice to me, and quickly administered an EKG and blood tests, and guess what?

I wasn't having a heart attack.

I was just stressed and tired and anxious. That's all.

But if I had been having a heart attack, going to the E.R. could have saved my life. And even though I wasn't, they were very nice to me. No one made fun of me. No one called me a whiner or a hypochondriac. My wife expressed gratitude that I took my survival seriously. And I was home again in less than two hours.

So this is for my fellow typical men, who are inclined to ignore health issues because: John Wayne or something, and fear of embarrassment:

Don't ignore stuff. Don't wait until you're sure. Be willing to overreact. Be willing to waste everyone's time. It's okay! The world won't end! (And you may even get to take a nap under a warm blanket, like I did!)

Was just taking a spider outside and five jets flew overhead in formation. Two blue, two white, one orange. I think. Looks like they were following Hwy 24 west-to-east. Fleet Week isn’t til October. What the fuck?

Perhaps it’s important to say, for those of you not in the same loop I’m in, that my friends & colleagues in Israel are in the streets demonstrating against the war and the corrupt Netanyahu government every day. The families of the hostages are also out in the streets demanding new elections. Every death - Palestinian and Israeli - is heartbreaking.

And for anyone thinking that trump is going to be a great friend to Israel, he’s not. Netanyahu and trump are bit from the same cloth. Both are dangerous.

The United States may have never held a presidential election in which the voting public was so badly misinformed. We can blame biased news media, scammers on social media, foreign interference, and politicians who intentionally mislead us. But ultimately, voters must learn to separate fact from falsehood.

Will misinformation decide the 2024 presidential election? https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/4685012-misinformation-2024-presidential-election/
