@Daniel said: China and Iran are allies. I don't see the two as having much in common, other than that they both see the USA as some sort of opponent.

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.

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.

@jon-nyc said: I’m in 100% if I don’t have a conflict. +1

@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!

He's a reputable historian. His wheelhouse is the history of the Arabs. https://share.google/nr9msyvfYCsLpukdD I see he probably did get this wrong. A cartoonist invented red Santa in 1863 for Harper's Weekly and Coca-Cola used red Santa in 1938. - From the comments. I suppose both stories could be true. I think I'll Google an image of the 1863 Santa. But why a red Santa at that time? I like him wearing green. It's my favorite color. Edit- "In 1863, Santa Claus did not wear his signature red suit in Harper's Weekly, as the magazine was printed entirely in black-and-white wood engravings. While cartoonist Thomas Nast famously introduced the prototype of our modern Santa Claus on the January 3, 1863 cover of Harper's Weekly, the actual text accompanying the illustration reveals that Santa was dressed in a patriotic Union uniform of a star-covered jacket and striped trousers rather than a solid color.Nast did not popularize the iconic bright red outfit until 1881, when his famous colorized illustration titled "Merry Old Santa Claus" was published. Thank you, AI Edit 2- He was wrong. He should stick to his area of expertise. A Pictorial History of Santa Claus — The Public Domain Review https://share.google/2kiuUQ8ouUy0lSY5v
