Who Wants to Vote?

 Trump Barred in 2 States, makes a very complex problem.  Can he run, with this in his way?  The final decision on Trump’s eligibility may depend on the US Supreme Court, which could block Trump from the state’s Republican primary ballot. According to some legal experts, Donald Trump could be disqualified from running for president in 2024 under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which bars people who engage in insurrection or rebellion against the Constitution from holding federal office.

 So, I ask, Who wants to vote? If there isn't anyone on the ballot, that you feel comfortable with, to lead the nation, then why, vote? I see no reason to get out there in the middle of the mess, only to find that I can't vote for the candidate, I want to vote for. Looks as though, those "would be's" up in the mighty government of this US, is running the show, and the people, have no say! SAD DAY! AMERICA

Migrant Overload

Migrant overload is a term that refers to the situation when the number of migrants arriving or staying in a certain place exceeds the capacity or resources of that place to accommodate them. Migrant overload can cause various problems, such as overcrowding, poor living conditions, health risks, security threats, and social conflicts

Migrant overload is a current issue in many parts of the world, especially in the United States, where the southern border has seen a record number of migrant crossings in 2023, mostly from Haiti, Venezuela, and other Latin American countries. The US government and its partners are trying to address the crisis by providing humanitarian assistance, expediting the processing and removal of migrants, increasing the border security and cooperation, and supporting the diplomatic and development efforts in the region

However, the situation is not likely to be resolved soon, as the root causes of migration are complex and deep-rooted, and the solutions are limited and contested. The US border may continue to see more migrants arriving in the coming months, as the weather improves and the demand for labor increases Therefore, migrant overload remains a hot spot for migration, humanitarian, and security issues

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.

Will America Be Strong Enough?

 This is a complex and speculative question that does not have a definitive answer. However, based on the information available, it seems that the US military and diplomatic leaders believe that the US can provide military aid to both Ukraine and Israel at the same time, without compromising its own defense capabilities or interests

According to the web search results, President Joe Biden has requested $14.3 billion for Israel, $61.4 billion to support Ukraine, $9.1 billion for humanitarian efforts in Gaza and elsewhere and $7.4 billion for the Indo-Pacific, where the US is focused on countering China’s influence3 The secretary of defense said that the Pentagon is able to continue providing aid to Ukraine in its war against Russian invasion and also support Israel after a Hamas attack sparked a new and bloody war there

The US aid to Israel and Ukraine is intended to help them defend themselves against external threats, as well as to strengthen the US strategic alliances and interests in the region. The US also seeks to deter other actors who may try to exploit the situation and escalate the conflict. The US also provides humanitarian assistance to the civilians affected by the violence and supports diplomatic efforts to resolve the crises peacefully

Of course, the US military and diplomatic aid is not without challenges and risks. The US faces opposition from some members of Congress who question the effectiveness and necessity of the aid, as well as from some international partners who criticize the US for its role in the conflicts. The US also has to balance its resources and priorities among different regions and issues, such as the US-Mexico border security, the Indo-Pacific security, and the global pandemic response. The US also has to ensure the protection of its own forces and citizens who are serving or living in the volatile areas

Therefore, the question of whether the US will be able to defend itself after sending aid to Ukraine and Israel is not a simple one to answer. It depends on many factors and uncertainties, such as the outcomes of the conflicts, the reactions of the adversaries and allies, the availability and allocation of the resources, and the political and public support for the US actions. The US military and diplomatic leaders seem confident that the US can handle the situation and maintain its security and interests, but they also acknowledge the difficulties and dangers involved

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.

Now, tell me what else they're going to think of doing.......America, is slowly being destroyed by it's own........SAD !

Illegals Use Children

So for each child they receive $400. Now there is another “wet foot dry foot” policy. That group of people are paid with a refuge check $2400 a month plus free health and food stamps, We are just a gift tree and they all know it. These checks need to stop and funds need to be redirected to the BORDER WALL.

Illegals Are Doing This

"Recycling children" is a real, disgusting practice, given that name for a reason. Adults who are not a child's parent or relative are using children as passports to get into the US and get extra benefits immediately. In some border states, like New Mexico, illegals actually get an extra $400 from the gov't for each child they have with them, right after entering illegally. It's no wonder human trafficking and child recycling is becoming increasingly more popular - they're basically incentivized actions.

Another Person Offended

So many seem to have opinions about standing or kneeling during the national anthem. I am a US Military veteran. Even though I believe in freedom of speech I do NOT believe you have a right to disrespect the flag that is draped across my fallen brothers and sisters coffins and those that are given to families who have loved ones who never make it home. Say what you will, do what you will, but disrespect that flag in front of me and this sleeping old dog ain't gonna care what you are protesting. 

I borrowed this from a Facebook post..........of another person who is tired of the crap.........

Not Fair

I am so sick of not being able to live in this country and enjoy life, without being taxed to death.  Seems, the government has a place for every penny we make, and we can't have any enjoyment because of it.  A working person shouldn't have to pay out his butt for health care insurance, when there's people sitting around our fair country living and getting everything given to them free.
There's no safe place for a healthy working man, who doesn't go to the doctor every time he sneezes.  How in the heal is he supposed to pay for heath insurance, when child support, utilities, car insurance, car payments, cost of living in general needs to be taken care of first?  It's just not fair to hit a person, with an extra $4000 or $5000 a year in insurance premiums, that he probably won't use but maybe once.  How do you justify this crap?  FAIR? HELL NO !
