Trump's First Day

St. Jude Hospital

  St. Jude also has many positive aspects and achievements, such as:

• It provides free treatment for children with cancer and other life-threatening diseases, and conducts research to find cures and improve outcomes for these conditions. It has helped increase the survival rate of childhood cancer from 20% to 80% since it opened in 1962
• It has a high rating from some charity evaluators, such as Charity Navigator, which gave it four out of four stars for its financial performance and accountability. It also has a loyal and generous donor base that supports its mission and vision
• It has a strong reputation and recognition as one of the leading children’s hospitals and research centers in the world, and has received numerous awards and honors for its excellence and innovation. It also has a global outreach program that collaborates with partners in more than 70 countries to improve access and quality of care for children with cancer and other diseases

Therefore, St. Jude is not a scam, but a legitimate and reputable charity that has both strengths and weaknesses. If you are considering donating to St. Jude, you may want to do your own research and analysis, and compare it with other similar charities, to make an informed and responsible decision. 

Is Trump The Best Choice?

 According to the web search results, some people may think that Trump is the best choice for America because:

• He has a slight edge over Biden in some national polls and in the Electoral College, which could make him more likely to win the 2024 election12
• He has done some good things during his presidency, such as lowering taxes, appointing conservative judges, strengthening the military, brokering peace deals in the Middle East, and developing vaccines for COVID-193
• He represents the interests and values of many Americans who feel disillusioned with the political establishment, the mainstream media, and the cultural elites. He appeals to their sense of patriotism, nationalism, and populism45

Cost of Living 2024

The cost of living in 2024 is expected to increase by 3.2% for Social Security and Supplemental Security Income beneficiaries, according to the Social Security Administration1 This means that the average monthly benefit for retired workers will rise from $1,657 in 2023 to $1,711 in 2024

The cost of living adjustment (COLA) is based on the change in the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) from the third quarter of the previous year to the third quarter of the current year. The CPI-W measures the average change in the prices of goods and services purchased by urban workers

The cost of living can also vary depending on the location, lifestyle, and needs of each individual. Some of the factors that affect the cost of living are housing, food, transportation, health care, taxes, and entertainment

If you want to compare the cost of living between different cities or regions, you can use online calculators that take into account various expenses and income sources. For example, you can use the calculator from NerdWallet 4 or the one from Bankrate  to see how much you would need to earn or save to maintain your standard of living in a different place.

Doctors say no time better than now to get vaccinated

NEW YORK -- If it feels like you know a lot of people who are home sick, it is not your imagination. 

Health officials say there has been a surge of flu cases, and it has come with many people suffering from COVID-19 and RSV.

The flu can be deadly to adults and children. For one family, tragedy struck two decades ago, but the pain is still there, and they want people to know just how important vaccines are.

"We've never thought that something like this could happen to us," said Alissa Kanowitz of Scarsdale.

Kanowitz knows all too well how dangerous the flu can be because she suffered the ultimate pain. In 2004, she lost her 4-year-old daughter, Amanda.

"Amanda was a happy, healthy little girl. She was that giggle girl. She loves pink and purple. She loved her dolls," Kanowitz said.

But it all happened so quickly, over 48 hours. Amanda never even had a fever higher than 102, and the doctor just said to keep her hydrated.

"So I went into Amanda's room at 3:30 in the morning to check on her and I gave her a hug and a kiss. And then, three hours later, I found her lifeless in her bed," Kanowitz said. 

Kanowitz decided to make it her life's mission to get people vaccinated for the flu. "If it happened to us, it can happen to anyone," she said.

The Health Department says flu cases surged 27% statewide last week. New Yorkers that spoke to CBS New York said that's incentive enough for them to get vaccinated.

"There's a high rise in cases, COVID, as well as the respiratory virus, so why not protect yourself?" said Sherry Hudson of the Upper West Side.

"I had the flu two years in a row. I lived in the dorms in college and it was like a petri dish. So now you get it every year," said Marissa Sosin of Randolph, New Jersey.

And this comes with COVID and RSV also making a comeback, making it hard for patients to tell them apart.  "They all can have fever, you know, a temperature of 100.4 or higher. They can all have cough, muscle aches, sore throat, you know. You can feel a fatigue, headache," said Dr. Purvi Parikh of the Allergy & Asthma Network.

So Parikh says testing, whether at home for COVID or at urgent care, is crucial, and if you want to avoid getting sick, get a vaccine. But remember, they take about two weeks to be effective.

"So let's say you're planning on traveling, and, you know, being with, you know, people in your family, who might be at risk of getting very sick from these things, and you should be getting your vaccines now," Parikh said.  Doctors also say flu shots can be important for pregnant women.

"We have really excellent data that clearly indicate that moms who don't get vaccinated have a much higher chance of getting sicker or possibly miscarrying from influenza," said Dr. Mary Koslap-Petraco, a clinical assistant professor at Stony Brook University School of Nursing.

If you've got respiratory issues, it's always important to be checked by your doctor. There have been no reported pediatric deaths this week or this season.

TAKE THESE SPOILED IDIOTS OFF THE STREETS

If we sit back and wait for someone else to fight back against these anarchists, things will get worse before they get better. The protests and riots are getting more frequent and more intense. There are plans for rioters to disrupt the inauguration. Thousands of troublemakers are planning to infiltrate the ceremony and disrupt the swearing in of our new president using violence. I am hoping that there are thousands of patriotic citizens attending who plan to thump every protestor who starts trouble.
It’s when the conservative public finally has had enough and decides to actively take back our streets, and when the rioting protestors realize that there is a possibility that there are countless numbers of citizens who are planning on fighting back, then peace may be restored. I’m waiting for protestors to riot in my neighborhood. I already have my group together. And we are planning on taking a little ride.

To Our New President

America

STAND UP, SPEAK UP. NEVER SURRENDER!!!!

 

Dear Mr. President

 

Why is it the scare always has to do with SS, Medicare, & our Soldiers pay?  Why not stop your pay,

your staff, or Congress and the Senate to save more money for our country?  Why use Seniors,

Soldiers, & our Needy as examples?

Take the money from those who take no risks and reap the benefits, instead of threatening to withhold

Social Security, VA and disability payments of people who really need the money....

Lets hold the paychecks of all house & senate members, then see how fast they resolve the debt

ceiling crisis !!!!!

 

 

Thank you

Bed Ridden Being Taken Advantage Of

I'm putting this out there, because something needs to be done and nothing has helped so far. 
Some acquaintance or family member, introduced this couple to a lady I know, that is almost completely bed ridden.  The couple, a man & his girlfriend, who must have been down on their luck at that time, made all types of promises to this woman, in pretext of paying some rent/bills and helping out around the house.  The woman, being gullible and in need of financial, health related, and household assistance, listened to their plight.
Being a person, who tries to help, even on her limited means, she fell for their stories.  Needless to say, this was a very bad mistake.  At first as always is in situations, like these, they did a few things to suffice and save face.  Making excuses about why they were only able to do this or that. It wasn't long before the lady, figured out, she was being used and taken advantage of.
Things came up missing, all the food was gone, no money was being offered, and attitudes were hitting the roof.  They acted as if they were running the household and would make derogatory statements, and get physical with their actions towards others in the house.  So much so, that they began to tear the actual house up.  Their mad fits, whether drug related or not, happened often, resulting in the back door, being ripped off, and physical assaults against persons, who were there.
Local police have been called, many times and they end up not seeing the whole picture, or believing the lies this couple tell them.  The lady of the house is told to evict them, if they need to leave.  Knowing this, the couple deliberately uses the utilities to extreme, in order to cause her more financial expense, and keeping her financial status drained.  She is unable to afford the filing fee to evict these criminals and be free of their meanness. 
Adult Protective Services, has been notified, and they say the same thing.  Have them evicted!  How the hell can you evict someone, who keeps you financially drained, with their actions.  The domestic violence that is going on over there is heartless, cruel and mean.  Their criminal actions, need to be punished.
I am an outsider, who knows the lady and don't like what is being told to me about this situation.  I can't do anything to help because I'm not family, and would only cause more harm.  It's a scary situation, since this man has physically attacked one person, who intervened between him and a woman, who was visiting, when the person caught him choking her.  He then turned on the other person, picked up a aluminum pipe and proceeded to beat the man, until paramedics had to be called to take the man to the hospital.  The police, were unable to get the man to let them into the house, so he wasn't arrested and got away with his mean assault on another person. 
I wonder what it's going to take to get some help for these poor abused people?  I hope it doesn't result in someone being killed.  Too much bad violence happens in Dallas, Tx and the end result is always the same........something bad happens!
