    Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next.

    Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities.

    Didn't DeSantis declare FL to be a graveyard during covid due to the aging population? Now he's planning on bumping off future voters? WTF is right. This surgeon general needs to have his medical license revoked due to the fact the Hippocratic oath he swore says, first do no harm. This decision is harmful and it is time for responsible parents in FL to protest. He's already lowered educational standards by not requiring teachers to be educated as such or to have credentials.

    Another loon lie. His physician says he is taking the drug finasteride to grow hair. Well, the primary use for the drug is for benign prostatic hypertrophy, not hair growth. He's most likely having trouble peeing which at his age is not uncommon. So can't pee or keep his hair. Not holding a pity party anytime soon or for that fact, ever.

    It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength.

    I called my (stupid) 'Representative' again about releasing the Epstein Files (and she is a woman, so double shame on her). I plan to call her office every single day until further notice. I also called my state's 2 Senators about the RFK debacle.

    BREAKING: Fired CDC Director Susan Monarez goes scorched earth on MAGA Health Secretary RFK Jr., reveals that she was ousted after refusing to agree to "compromise science itself" and says that while she lost her job "America’s children could lose far more."This is beyond scathing.."During my first week as CDC director, a gunman opened fire on our Atlanta headquarters on Aug. 8. Investigators recovered more than 500 shell casings at the scene and more than 180 rounds struck CDC campus buildings. Officer David Rose was killed," Monarez wrote in an op-ed for The Wall Street Journal."Investigators found documents in which the gunman expressed his discontent with Covid vaccines, indicating his actions were driven by vaccine distrust. Amid the trauma, hundreds of CDC employees told me the same thing: We need to take immediate steps to rebuild public trust. That’s the CDC I know: service before self," she continued."Just as we began to recover, I was confronted with another challenge—pressure to compromise science itself," she wrote.Monarez revealed that Kennedy pressured her to either resign or "face termination" during a meeting on August 25th after she bravely refused to comply with his "troubling directives" including a demand that she pre-approve recommendations from a "vaccine advisory panel newly filled with people who have publicly expressed antivaccine rhetoric."Kennedy has been rampaging through the Department of Health and Human Services since he took over as Secretary. His deeply held anti-vax beliefs have spread throughout the agency like a virus. He canceled over $500 million in grants and contracts tied to life-saving mRNA vaccine technology and replaced the members of the CDC's vaccine advisory panel with MAGA loyalists.In her piece, Monarez stated that it is "imperative" that the panel's recommendations be “rigorously and scientifically reviewed before being accepted or rejected” rather than simply embraced and endorsed without proper review in order to ensure that "facts can still prevail.”"The CDC can’t fulfill its obligation to the American people if its leader can’t demand proof in decision-making. If discarding evidence for ideology becomes the norm, why should parents, physicians or the public trust the CDC’s guidance?" she wrote.“Those seeking to undermine vaccines use a familiar playbook: discredit research, weaken advisory committees, and use manipulated outcomes to unravel protections that generations of families have relied on to keep deadly diseases at bay,” she wrote.“Once trusted experts are removed and advisory bodies are stacked, the results are predetermined. That isn’t reform. It is sabotage," she added.She went on to state that "public health shouldn't be partisan" because "vaccines have saved millions of lives" under bipartisan leadership. She said that parents deserve to have a DC that they can trust to put children above politics, evidence above ideology and facts above fear.""I was fired for holding that line. But the line doesn’t disappear with me. It runs through every parent deciding whether to vaccinate a child, every physician counseling patients, and every American who demands accountability," she continued."If we stay silent, preventable diseases will return—as we saw with the largest measles outbreak in more than 30 years, which tragically killed two children. If we act, the facts can still prevail," the piece concluded.
