Trump relies on a doctor who is a member of his golf club to vouch for his health — The Washington Post

As the former president assails President Biden’s health, he has declined to release details about his own condition beyond a three-paragrap

WHY can’t people (AKA: Trumpers, AKA: Trump fans) SEE he’s hiding things from them? He wants to run for POTUS but won’t divulge his health? First it was his taxes, now it’s his physical condition. He KNOWS he’s not fit. But President Biden is as transparent as a clean sheet of glass.

The new science of death: ‘There’s something happening in the brain that makes no sense’

The long read: New research into the dying brain suggests the line between life and death may be less distinct than previously thought

FASCINATING READ!

“I think in 50 or 100 years time we will have discovered the entity that is consciousness,” he [Sam Parnia] told me. “It will be taken for granted that it wasn’t produced by the brain, and it doesn’t die when you die.”

Supreme Court allows Texas to begin enforcing controversial immigration law — CNN

The Supreme Court on Monday cleared the way for Texas to immediately begin enforcing a controversial immigration law that allows state offic

“The court’s three liberals dissented.” 👍🏼

Conservatives are destroying the Free World. This is a first step to allowing a Police State Nationwide. It’s very peculiar how a political party that constantly preaches “less government” continues to use government to encroach on peoples’ freedoms. It’s so hypocritical that it’s nauseating!

Supreme Court will consider Trump’s immunity claims in D.C. Jan. 6 trial — The Washington Post

Donald Trump, who is again running for president, asked the Supreme Court to delay his D.C. federal trial for trying to overturn the 2020 el

This is absolute BS! Nobody is above the law. No one can be immune to breaking the law just because they were president at the time. This shouldn’t even be heard. This should’ve been dismissed right off the bat! Obviously the Republican judges are showing bias - especially those appointed by #Trump. I guess once an ass kisser, always an ass kisser. 😡

“While closures at some high-profile museums made headlines, other institutions like the Museum of Us [San Diego, CA] and History Colorado, a publicly funded network of museums, had no need to scramble because they had already taken measures to work with tribal nations in deciding what items should be displayed and how.” Love my California! 🙌🏼

While Canada won’t export a human back to America if they’re facing the death penalty, they allow the slaughter of innocent animals all for a buck. So maybe that’s the answer. Maybe America needs to pay them so that they will export someone that’s facing execution. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Because obviously, their motivation to allow horrific murder is monetary. 😡

Meat.org | The Web Site the Meat Industry Doesn't Want You to See

"If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be vegetarian." -Paul McCartney

People get upset because of the way dogs and cats are treated in Asian countries, where the abusers claim the pain inflicted makes the meat taste better. And yet what does the animal that you eat go through? If you have the courage to watch this, you’ll see that the two are really not that different.

But being vegetarian isn’t good enough (even Paul McCartney is now vegan). Because if you still eat dairy and eggs, you are still contributing to the abuse of chickens and cows. Going vegan is the best way to help the most animals.

“In the text, Philodemus writes about living a good life through the pleasures of beauty, music and food. Researchers say this and future discoveries in the texts will give them a "unique window into the classical world."

What would we expect? The rich are no different then from as they are now. 🥱
