Just saw this news item from the AP. "DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Republican Sen. Joni Ernst was met with shouts and groans when she said "we all are going to die" as she addressed potential changes to Medicaid eligibility at a town hall in north-central Iowa on Friday." Wow! Just wow!

I took my grandson to the Waco Mammoth National Park yesterday. He loved it! Just wanted to support our national parks.

Greg Abbott, the sad excuse for a governor, has finally set the date for the special election (November) to replace Congressman Sylvester Turner, who passed away in March. The people that this man represented in Houston have had no voice in Congress for 8 months. Wait until next year!

🧵1/ BIG NEWS!! CDC just dropped a landmark report — the first US data on RSV hospitalizations after rollout of the maternal vaccine and infant antibody. What happened? Hospitalizations in babies under 3 months fell nearly 50% vs pre-pandemic years. Quietly, radically effective.

Food for thought... In 2024, there were 245 million eligible voters. 77 million voted republican (49.8%)* 75 million voted democrat (48.3%) And 90 million did not see the necessity to vote. *Republicans did not win by a landslide, more like scooting by

Rep DeLauro reminds us that 9 million kids were poisoned by lead in Flint, MI. RFKJ cut the lead office.

Only the Jester speaks truth to the King.

My grandson just started a clinical trial for a therapeutic medication to help relieve symptoms of Angelman Syndrome. Very hopeful!

Trump's war on toddlers continues.

Did anyone see this? www.buzzfeed.com/andyneuensch...

This is why it’s so frustrating that RFK’s food dye distraction is getting so much coverage. Salmonella is much worse for you! www.seattletimes.com/business/usd...

This was just shared on fb. It is very telling. Harvard is 400 years old, so it isn't going anywhere.

KOLACHES!!!! At the Czech Shop to get some yummy "real" kolaches

I just have to vent. The Texas house just passed a school voucher bill that will give approximately 500k children $10,000 each to go to private with no conditions. It is time for Texans to pull up their big people panties and vote these jokes out of office. I love my state but hate its politics.

Exclusive: Military contractors are pitching the White House on an unprecedented prison plan for detained immigrants. Former Blackwater CEO Erik Prince wants to cut a deal to skirt immigration laws and transport detainees from the U.S. to El Salvador.

Food for thought - As of January 2025, China held approximately $760.802 billion in the U.S. Treasury securities, making it the second-largest foreign holder after Japan. The tariffs that this administration has placed on China are now up to 145%. What happens if China decides to cash in?

Figured everyone could use pictures of beautiful flowers

While the world deals with the tariff disaster, the White House is congratulating Trump for winning a golf tournament at his own golf course. 😡😡

Vance is giving a press conference in Greenland and is talking about how the US has to protect Greenland from being taken over by Russia and China. I believe that Denmark has to protect Greenland. I think it is so two-faced for him to talk about protecting Greenland from Russia but not Ukraine.

Since Musk is on the Autism spectrum, does that make him a DEI hire?

Somebody posted this on fb today. 5.5 million kids in Texas go to school. Guess which ones won't be going to private school.

Happy Wednesday! My grandson's snowman.
