Cases of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) are increasing across the Philadelphia region. The uptick comes as children, who are most susceptible to the virus, get ready to head back to school. Said Dr. Dan Taylor: "In 24 years as a pediatrician, I really have not seen this many cases of hand, foot and mouth disease in my entire career." While common in infants, babies, and toddlers, cases in older kids are growing, he added. "Atypical cases occur in older kids, kids older than five, younger kids get it in the mouth, whereas older kids get it around the mouth and in the arms and legs," he said. "HFMD is unsightly and can be painful at times. The drooling factor definitely makes enterovirus more contagious. It's shed in the stool, so when you have little ones, changing diapers can increase it. Handwashing and hygiene are paramount." read more
Tiffany Trumpf's husband, Michael Boulos, arranged for oligarch Jared Kushner to buy a mega yacht at a steeply inflated price. Michael Boulos, and his cousin Jimmy Frangi pushed the scion into what was supposed to be a golden investment. The pitch was simple: buy a yacht, fix it up, sell it or rent it out, and make millions. But the deal was stuffed with hidden tricks. By June 2021, Boulos was sending Kushner presentations to buy an unfinished yacht called the Solstice, being built in Greece. Frangi's firm told Kushner the price was 12.5 million, about $15 million, with a $1 million commission built in. What Kushner didn't know was that the firm was actually paying millions less, then pocketing the difference. According to text messages later revealed, the firm secretly raked in $3.5 million instead of the $1 million Kushner had agreed to. Archived link: Schmuck Ripped Off. read more
The Trumpf junta can slash hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of research funding in its push to cut federal diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, the SCOTUS decided Thursday. The high court majority lifted a judge's order blocking $783 million worth of cuts made by the NIH to align with Dotard Trumpf's priorities. The order marks the latest Supreme Court win for Dummkopf Trumpf and allows the junta to forge ahead with canceling hundreds of grants while the lawsuit continues to unfold. The plaintiffs, including states and public-health advocacy groups, have argued that the cuts will inflict "incalculable losses in public health and human life." Sycophant D/NIH Dr Jay Bhattacharya, a Stanford University professor, was an outspoken critic of the government's COVID-19 shutdowns and vaccine policies. read more
Dummkopf Trumpf said ICC-indicted war criminal Vladimir Putin may attend the 2026 FIFA World Cup tournament. Putin can sit next to Benjamin Netanyahu and they can exchange notes on mass murder. I imagine the same would apply for the 2028 Summer Olympics.

Republicans hate the poor, sick, and elderly. Europeans already have a longer life expectancy than Americans because of universal health care and regulations on nutrition and the environment. This disparity will widen in the future thanks to the Trumpf junta's 'BBB' and these cuts to medical research. Link: preview.redd.it
Thanks Republican voters and SCOTUS, Gut arbet!
#3 and 4: So, the in-laws ripped off the schmendrik over a couple of pfennigs. Trumpf family reunions must be delightful experiences. I hope they have a party on a yacht soon: media.king5.com
All of this saber-rattling and transatlantic threats are tactics to buy time for Vladimir Putin. It's working. Dummkopf Trumpf said that there will be another summit, but in the meantime the Soviet-style human wave attacks and drone barrages are continuing against Ukraine. The Dotard also bought time for Benjamin Netanyahu whose IDF is about to invade Gaza. Some people actually believe the theater the Trumpf junta is presenting about their desire for world peace: i0.wp.com
