    On average 2.8 million people die in the United States each year.

    Over HALF of these deaths are preventable.

    Smoking, drinking, obesity...

    Isn't it odd that the government has NEVER gone door-to-door to discuss ways that we can be healthier, until they desperately want us to take their vaccine?

    then dumb and silent we may be led,

    "The two U.S. citizens were found hiding in bushes in Port-au-Prince on Thursday, according to witnesses, the AP reported. When the police arrived, they were put into the back of a pickup truck and driven away, the AP reported.

    The crowd allegedly began following the vehicle, with some chanting, “They killed the president! Give them to us. We’re going to burn them!,” according to the AP. One man was reportedly overheard saying it was unacceptable for foreigners to enter the country and kill Haiti’s leader."

    Several abandoned vehicles with bullet holes that were thought to belong to the suspects were set on fire by the crowd, the AP reported. Charles asked for calm and for people to go home while at a news conference Thursday, warning that authorities needed the cars as evidence."

    they don't care about those things because there is a LOT more taxable shit with slowly-moving deaths than fast deaths.
    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    Oh - and a bigger question: why did Creepy Porn Lawyer get just 2.5 years in jail vs the sentencing guidelines showing something closer to 10. Had he been on Trump's staff, I suspect his sentence would be 3 times that.

    `...China and Russia’s militaries are not busy arguing over critical race theory and how to be “woke”.



    They’re preparing to annihilate America.



    Meanwhile, we’re worried about not offending people.



    ***This can only lead to disaster.`
