My brother-in-law, an anesthesiologist, was also diagnosed with Stage 4 prostate cancer.

When he called to tell my wife he said, "prostate cancer is largely a cancer you live with, not die from."

He's doing well 5 years on ...

"Has anyone noticed that, since I said 'I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,' she's no longer 'HOT'?"

BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!

As the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities notes, rural areas in particular depend on Medicaid spending. Nearly half of all children in rural areas, 47 percent, receive health insurance through Medicaid. Rural hospitals, which have struggled to stay afloat in the face of broad and overlapping challenges, also rely on Medicaid to stay open and provide needed services to isolated areas.

Trump was going to go but then he heard it might rain.

He remembered the last Pope's fate after meeting with Vance.

As is their penchant for being the biggest mean spirited --------- they can be.

His prostrate (sic) is bigger than his brain.

You know, when mocking someone for brain size, you should probably make sure your insults are spelled correctly, "stable genius".

That seems to be a common problem among the MAGAts here. Not the brightest bunch. But look who their hero is? Dimbulb Dotard.

An international arrest warrant for war crimes issued by the ICC remains active for Benjamin Netanyahu. An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Surprising since both Trump and Netanyahu were both desperate to be elected so they could stay out of prison.

It would be karmic justice if and when Nuttyahoo and Putin are finally arrested and convicted and have to live in the same cell.

Wishing all the best to a fine, principled, ethical man, who puts his (actually) Christian beliefs in action.

What a fine, principled (actual Christian) man.

Hopefully, they can extend palliative care so it's something he lives with, not dies from.

Joe Exotic is a Trump supporter who's backslid after Trump refused to pardon him.

Will he shave his "Kentucky Waterfall" mullet and rend his clothing?

And rural hospitals will be forced to close as well ...

Snubbed Vance as he should have. Vance's views are the antithesis of everything Christ taught.

FEMA cuts emergency training under Trump as hurricane season looms

WASHINGTON, May 11 (Reuters) - The U.S. federal disaster agency FEMA has sharply reduced training for state and local emergency managers ahead of the start of the hurricane season on June 1, according to current and former officials, memos seen by Reuters, and three sources familiar with the situation.

The training cutbacks could leave storm-prone communities less prepared to handle the often devastating aftermath of hurricanes, the sources and some of the current and former officials warned.

A politician in Mexico could campaign on "Build a Wall." To keep US guns out and have the U.S. pay for it.

A good idea. But as anyone who's ever been pulled over in Mexico knows, "La Mordida" (bribes) are common and expected in many cases.

Doesn't take muany $s for a Mexican border agent to look the other way, knowing to wave in particular vehicles without inspection.

I used to get pulled over - usually in Tijuana - most times I drove to Ensenada. They'd make up some BS violation and ask me questions like "what do you do for a living, senor?" and other questions to gauge how much they thought they could get from me. After the second time I had to wait at a police station for a jefe to get back from the bowling alley or strip club, a friend told me, "offer the cop a twenty and ask him if he'd kindly take the money to the station when he's off shift and pay your fine for you." Works like a charm! And they couldn't accuse me of bribery.

I'm surprised they haven't done so sooner. As you and I and most of us know, guns in cartel hands were purchased in the U.S.

VIDEO: Trump: I love the poorly educated!

That's the only reason why the Party of Trump is so eager to change the way our nation functions.

Republicans have an entirely different set of rules when a Dem occupies the WH.

The "pro-life" (pro-forced birth) folks will say that baby shouldn't get taxpayer-funded care if it dares to be born.

If Republicans are successful in passing the "Big Beautiful Bill" (it's ACTUAL name!!), tens of thousands of people born with birth defects that require inpatient care at nursing homes may lose their Medicaid funding.

PS - Fred McMurray was also in on developing the San Fernando Valley.

Did you know Lucy/Desi Arnez, Bob Hope, and Bing Crosby made the vast majority of their wealth by buying up the San Fernando Valley and developing it?

del mar is a landmark....built by Bind Crosby with partners
like desi arnaz and wc fields.

They play a song Bing Crosby recorded about Del Mar before races begin. What a charming and quaint racetrack.

How the F do you bankrupt casinos like Trump did multiple times?!! Only a bloviating moron could since they're practically money printing machines.

They could redo an old Reagan era anti-drug ad and feature BOAZ with a tagline of "THIS is your brain on Breitbart and right wing propaganda." His brain is fried to the point he'd make Joseph Goebbels grin from ear to ear.

I've only been to two horse races. The first was to quaint Del Mar racetrack, near San Diego, with a friend who was writing an article for Travel & Leisure magazine. We were on the infield next to the rail. The ground literally shook when they passed.

The second time was at Pimlico, outside D.C. My friend and I won a daily double and drove to a Trump casino in Atlantic City, where we turned those winnings ($60 in my case) into a considerable amount of cash we left with from Donald "6 times bankrupt" Trump.
