“Putin & Kim Jong Un signed new partnership that includes a vow of mutual aid if either country faces “aggression,” in a pact that came as both face escalating standoffs with the West.

Details of deal not immediately clear, but could mark the strongest connection bw Moscow & Pyongyang since end of the Cold War. Both leaders described it as a major upgrade of their relations, covering security, trade, investment and cultural and humanitarian ties” #Russia #NorthKorea

🚨 HEY GOP VOTERS AND UNDECIDEDS 🚨

A top GOP think tank that is influential in shaping conservative policy wants to raise the Social Security retirement age to 70

Quote

Heritage Foundation:

Yes, the Social Security retirement age should be raised. If Congress does nothing, benefits will be cut by 21% across the board beginning in 2033

By chance, did they mention paying back the 1.7 Trillion they have borrowed over the years?

Another day, another apology from me for staying offline a lot and not replying to you.

I'm still sloooowwwly improving, but weak and still feeling that anxiety thing.

It'll all pass, but in the meantime, hi and bye.

Tons to do to settle in here, and no energy.

Hugs to all.

I truly hope you return to 100% soon. Together mental & physical ailments are so draining. I can assure you I feel & share your pain.
My recent biopsy that I shared ID'ed several issues. 1st - Legionaires Disease, rare & now the Health Dept is tracking me. Then lab cultures found 3 fungi growing in Rt lung. I am now on 3 meds for the next 2 years. Side effect of 1 is irreversible blindness (optic nerves destroyed). I'm still digesting/processing findings. OY.

Thank you much. I'm just trying to process how, on this good earth where I stay as safe as humanly possible, I could end up with this issue. It's a puzzlement!

I’m here for it

Biden-Harris HQ:

Trump at the end of his speech: Quickly shuffles off stage, refusing to answer any questions

I remain totally gobsmacked by the number of "supposedly" educated, intelligent individuals who state they "will not" under any circumstance vote for Trump, but will write in a candidate vote. IOW, they are voting for Trump. People...wake up & smell the coffee!
