The Democrat party in my deep red county is trying to organize at the local level. It's a good time to do that because there's a bit of a civil war in the GOP locally right now. If they make gains the division in the GOP will be the reason and is probably enough reason for me to vote blue locally. The Republicans seem to think they own the county, and that hubris needs to be smacked hard so they get back to working for us, not for power.

@Bernard The Latin guy is good.

A exec with a local ski resort said of the Hispanic labor at the resort, "They are easily trained, like good German Shepards." Don't think he is still with the resort.

Thank you. This reminds me I need to have a imaging and also start physical therapy or doing exercises. My hip on the right side has hurt a long time and the left side started hurting after I fell off the fence. I sure hope I never need hip replacement. Urg.

@AndyD That view!

He seems pretty consistent to me. Calls out nonsense when he sees it. I think he's likely more in tune with the population than Dem leadership.

"And that, is kosher." In the vernacular, no? Lol.

Iran has its say. Link to video

She's complaining about money. Wow. Link to video

@wtg And from what I've read, it cannot be deleted. Basically, an untrustworthy company has stolen 4GB of storage from those people's devices. If Google was honest they would have an opt-in option. But they're not honest, and that's a problem.

Edward R. Murrow lived in a large colonial house in Pawling NY. This mid-century world of media giants is dead.

If I am a Medicare-approved provider now, I am restricted to receive no more money than the Medicare-approved amount for any given service. If this Rand Paul bill were to become law, then the smart move would be for me to stop being a Medicare-approved provider -- because that allows me to keep serving my existing patients and still be able to get at least the Medicare-approved amounts for services I provide, but also allow me to ask (some of) my patients to pay me more. This bill will likely eliminate the incentive for any provider to remain Medicare-approved. As eccentric as some of the old Ron Paul's view points were, I never really doubted that 'ol Ron knows economics. I don't have quite the same level of confidence with Rand.

Interesting observation. Makes sense.

@wtg said: the White House reportedly resisted allowing citizens to return to the US for care and monitoring. I missed this. (I’ve been kind of hiding from the news lately, it’s all just too much) How shameful this country’s administration has become. it gets worse with each day.

Clever!

Very stylish!
