CLICK https://x.com/joeroganhq/status/1995631496229720314 [:57] to hear the following Howie Mandell claim, “They never said you won’t get COVID if you take the vaccine,” then refuse to watch a tape of them saying it, because “it doesn’t matter.”

In May 2021, Anthony Fauci, then chief medical adviser to President Biden, appeared on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” Among other things, he said that fully vaccinated people “become a dead end to the virus.”

In July 2021, President Joe Biden appeared on a CNN town hall and state, “You’re not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations.” Biden has had the vaccinations; he has also caught COVID three times.

CDC Director Rochelle Walensky (March 2021): “Vaccinated people do not carry the virus, don’t get sick.“

On March 29th, 2021, Rachel Maddow said on her MSNBC show, ”Vaccinated person gets exposed to the virus. The virus does not infect them. The virus cannot then use that person to go anywhere else. It cannot use a vaccinated person as a host to get more people. That means the vaccines will get us to the end of this.”

During a July 23, 2020 CNN town hall entitled “Coronavirus: Town Hall with Bill Gates,” Gates said, “By the end of 2021, if people are willing to take the vaccine, we’ll be able to stop the transmission in the rich countries and maybe within nine months after that, in the world at large.”

During a CBS interview in April 2021, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla stated, “The protection it offers is 100% against hospitalizations and deaths, and 95% against infections.“

While testifying before Congress in May 2021, then-CDC Director Robert Redfield stated, “Inoculated people become dead ends for the virus.”

In early 2021, then U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy stated, “These vaccines are extraordinarily effective at preventing infection and transmission.“

On March 29, 2021, the CDC published an article entitled, “Real-World Study Confirms Protective Benefits of mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines”, in which it said, “Vaccination with the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine reduces infections by 90%, while a single dose confers 80% protection.”

In December 2020, then-UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock stated, “The vaccines will prevent people from catching and spreading the virus.“

In December 2020, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stated highlighted global trial results and stated that vaccines like Pfizer’s would reduce infections by 95%.

AOC: On October 6, 2025, AOC mocked White House deputy chief of policy, Stephen Miller, calling him a “clown” and said he “looks like he’s 4’10” tall.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Make us worthy of the promises of Christ. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

CDC: In late August, CDC Director Susan Monarez was fired after less than a month in her role, primarily due to conflicts with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over vaccine policy and her refusal to follow certain directives. Her firing prompted at least four senior officials to resign.

  1. Dr. Debra Houry advised the director on agency issues and priorities during the COVID-19 pandemic;
  2. Dr. Demetre Daskalakis served in leadership roles at the CDC from 2020 to 2025;
  3. Dr. Daniel Jernigan, who apparently isn’t important enough to have a Wikipedia page, explained on NPR that his reason for resigning was to “get the politics out of public health”; and
  4. Dr. Jennifer Layden, who left her job as incident manager for Chicago’s COVID-19 response to help lead the CDC’s national COVID-19 response. Shortly after her arrival, she co-led a vaccine task force that oversaw COVID-19 vaccine data and contributed to clinical guidance decisions.

CHICAGO: CLICK https://x.com/Rightanglenews/status/1964793159768215989 [:40] to hear a resident warn Trump not to send the National Guard in, because “we are a different *** breed. … The *** gonna fight back.”

CHRIS CHRISTIE: Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie appeared on ABC News’ This Week, and opined that “Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a foolish man, full of foolish and vapid ideas” who is “wholly unqualified” to oversee major public health decisions.

MEDIA: The Left Stream Media did not report on the murder of Iryna Zarutska, a female Caucasian refugee from Ukraine, by a violent Black criminal with a rap sheet a mile long. And when surveillance video revealed the attack was vicious and unprovoked from start to finish, the Left Stream Media still did not deem the story worthy of their time and attention.

What they are reporting on is how the stabbing video is fueling MAGA’s crime message. One paragraph from Axios story “Stabbing video fuels MAGA’s crime message” (link below) says, “Influential conservative social media accounts accused major national news outlets of not covering the racial dynamics of the Charlotte killing — a white victim and a Black suspect — with the same intensity as they did in the case of Daniel Penny.”

In case you have forgotten, Penny is a Caucasian military veteran who took down a violent Black man who was threatening passengers on a subway car. The “major national news outlets” went nuts, calling for the Evil White Supremacist to be drawn and quartered. But during his trial, the other passengers said Penny had saved their lives. Thankfully, the jury voted to acquit.

GRAMMY NOTES: The best advice I ever heard was, “Kids don’t need to know about sex until they’re starting to have those feelings.” The only sex education I gave my girls before that was to leave Right to Life literature laying around so they would have no doubt about the humanity of the unborn and pause at unmarried intimacy on t.v. to lecture “Keep your pants on until after the wedding.” I stopped doing that when they started to yell “We KNOW MOM!!” They are all now happily married and have given me 10 gorgeous grandkids to love on.

Feast of the Assumption of Mary into Heaven

DAILY PRAYER: Mary, Mother of Mercy, intercede for us, your children. Keep us under your protection, safe from all harm, healthy in mind, body, and spirit. Under your watchful care, may we avoid the pitfalls of prejudice, ingratitude, injustice, and violence. And may we be always worthy of the promises of Christ. Amen.

AI: When Mama Buzz first opened yesterday’s “Bits & Bytes” on her phone, the prayer showed up with a transparent background. She highlighted it, intending to make it visible so she could read it. Somehow, this triggered an AI to add what I’ve shown above. Wonderful thoughts, all of them, even if they did utterly miss the point I was trying to make by combining the prayer with that graphic. But I guess the Holy Spirit wanted us to see it, because when Mama reloaded, the prayer formatted correctly.

Longterm Use of Anticholinergic Drugs

Anticholinergic drugs block acetylcholine, affecting muscarinic or nicotinic receptors, and are used for various conditions like allergies, gastrointestinal issues, or neurological disorders. I asked Grok for a summary of OTC and Rx drugs, which I have printed below. Since the antihistamine I take is on the list, I further asked for research pertaining to its long-term safety. That article is printing; I’ll be talking to my doctor about it at my next appointment.

Below is a list of common anticholinergic drugs, divided into over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription categories, based on their availability and use. Note that some drugs may have varying availability by country, and this list focuses primarily on medications available in the United States.

Over-the-Counter (OTC) Anticholinergic Drugs

These are typically antihistamines with anticholinergic properties, used for allergies, motion sickness, or sleep aids:

Diphenhydramine (e.g., Benadryl, Unisom SleepGels): Used for allergies, motion sickness, or as a sleep aid.

Dimenhydrinate (e.g., Dramamine): Primarily for motion sickness and nausea.

Meclizine (e.g., Bonine, Dramamine Less Drowsy): Used for motion sickness and vertigo.

Chlorpheniramine (e.g., Chlor-Trimeton): An antihistamine for allergies.

Brompheniramine (e.g., Dimetapp): Used for allergy symptoms.

Prescription Anticholinergic Drugs

These are used for a range of conditions, including overactive bladder, COPD, gastrointestinal disorders, and Parkinson’s disease:

Atropine: Used for bradycardia, eye exams (mydriasis), or as an antidote for certain poisonings.

Scopolamine (e.g., Transderm Scop): For motion sickness or postoperative nausea.

Hyoscyamine (e.g., Levsin, Anaspaz): For irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), peptic ulcers, or bladder spasms.

Dicyclomine (e.g., Bentyl): For IBS and intestinal cramping.

Oxybutynin (e.g., Ditropan, Oxytrol): For overactive bladder and urinary incontinence.

Tolterodine (e.g., Detrol): For overactive bladder.

Darifenacin (e.g., Enablex): For overactive bladder.

Solifenacin (e.g., Vesicare): For overactive bladder.

Trospium (e.g., Sanctura): For overactive bladder.

Fesoterodine (e.g., Toviaz): For overactive bladder.

Ipratropium (e.g., Atrovent): For COPD and asthma (inhaled).

Tiotropium (e.g., Spiriva): For COPD (inhaled).

Glycopyrrolate (e.g., Robinul, Cuvposa): For peptic ulcers, excessive salivation, or as a preoperative medication.

Trihexyphenidyl (e.g., Artane): For Parkinson’s disease and extrapyramidal symptoms.

Benztropine (e.g., Cogentin): For Parkinson’s disease and drug-induced movement disorders.

Orphenadrine (e.g., Norflex): For muscle spasms and pain.

Flavoxate (e.g., Urispas): For urinary bladder spasms.

Notes:

Anticholinergic Burden: Many of these drugs, especially in older adults, can cause side effects like dry mouth, constipation, confusion, or urinary retention. The cumulative effect of multiple anticholinergic drugs (OTC or prescription) can increase risks, particularly for cognitive impairment.

Availability: Some drugs (e.g., Oxytrol) may have OTC formulations in certain regions, while others require prescriptions. Always check local regulations.

Other Medications: Some antidepressants (e.g., amitriptyline) and antipsychotics (e.g., chlorpromazine) have anticholinergic effects but are not primarily classified as such and are thus not listed here.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear God, Fill our minds and hearts. Enkindle in us the fires of Your wisdom and Your love. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

8647: CLICK https://x.com/libsoftiktok/status/1926552847392378997 [:53] to see Lefties in Wichita, Kansas chanting a call for someone to get rid of President Trump. If challenged, they will say they just want him impeached, but if that is true, they should say so, because “86” also means “assassinate.”

If you google, you’ll find lots of left-leaning sites carefully downplaying the last meaning. But those are recent. I found a reference from a post by Carlos Diaz, dated October 05, 2007 that says, “86’d – To get rid of, originally for killing someone. The phrase ’80 miles out and 6 feet under’ was reserved for someone who had to dig their own grave 80 miles from civilization and then get shot execution-style. All terms for 86’d originated from this, be it alcohol or eliminating.”

CATHOLIC: [8:46] – So happy with Pope Leo’s support for Tradition!

CLICKBAIT: I was impressed by this (https://x.com/IndianaGPA/status/1926435665471791375) until I read more. Grok says, “The video showing a Polish pilot landing a Boeing 737 on one wheel is likely not real. It appears tied to Sławomir Mentzen’s 2025 presidential campaign, as the plane has “MENTZEN 2025” on it. No credible news or aviation reports confirm such an event, and landing a commercial jet on one wheel is extremely rare and risky, with no documented cases. The video’s promotional context and lack of corroboration suggest it’s staged.” [CtH: Bold added by me.] Other commenters noted the lack of sparks or smoke as the plane was skidding across the tarmac. We’re all going to have to learn how to tell AI from reality.

DOMESTIC TERROR: CLICK https://x.com/nicksortor/status/1926018047204053210 [3:09] to hear Gabbard talk about how the Biden administration demonized and censored Americans who objected to their oppressive policies. When Lefties call us “fascists”, they are (as always) telling us who they really are.

FATHERHOOD: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/dUrCh9Kc394 to hear a really inspiring message from Nick Freitas.

FTC: The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) voted 3-0 Thursday to dismiss a lawsuit against PepsiCo that was filed in the final days of the Biden administration. The suit, which accused the food and beverage giant of price discrimination, was rushed through just three days before President Trump’s inauguration. They said this “nakedly political effort to commit this administration to pursuing little more than a hunch that Pepsi had violated the law” would be a frivolous waste of taxpayer dollars.

PENNIES: It costs more than a penny to make a penny, so Trump has ordered the U.S. Mint to use up their stock of blanks and not make any more.

PSA: Good idea.

SHAME-FARE: The Turkish government is worried about obesity, so has dispatched health workers to each of the country’s 81 regions with weighing scales and tape measures. People with a BMI over 25 are referred to state-run centers, where they can receive free nutritional counseling and follow-up services. As obnoxious as this is, I gotta laugh as I scan the photos in the article below, cuz some of the “health” workers shown are fatter than the people they’re assessing!

SOUTH CAROLINA: The state’s supreme court has voted unanimously to uphold the 6-week abortion ban! [10 :25] – Roman Balmikov also reports on the current status of each state’s abortion laws.

Biden’s Cancer

By now, you have likely heard that Joe Biden is suffering from Stage 4, Grade 5, hormone sensitive, metastatic prostate cancer.

I was all set to be sympathetic until I learned more. CLICK https://x.com/bennyjohnson/status/1924284750333677758 [4:22] to hear why they likely knew this before he ran the first time and they definitely knew it when he ran the second time.

I’m also noticing that they chose to make this public right before the Tapper-Thompson exposé is set to be released. Counting down to Dems screaming “You can’t talk bad about a dying man!” in 3, 2, 1 …

The release of the Hur interview recordings seems another likely reason for the timing of the cancer announcement. If you recall, Robert Hur declined to prosecute Biden, because he said the jury would likely give a pass to a “sympathetic, well-meaning man with a poor memory.” IOW, he was not fit for trial, but he was fine to have his finger on the nuclear button. Make that make sense.

“Was President Biden’s cognitive decline a side effect of prostate cancer treatment? A recent study showed that four objective measures and one subjective measure of cognitive function were all significantly impaired by the androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) used for metastatic prostate cancer treatment.” – Dr. Steven Quay

“Were President Biden’s falls a side effect of prostate cancer treatment? Aggressive prostate cancers are treated with drugs that block the production and action of testosterone, as the majority of cancers are driven by testosterone. Loss of testosterone causes frailty and muscle loss. Over one-third of patients taking ADT have at least one fall during 12 months of treatment.” – Dr. Steven Quay

In response to the above, Dr. Quay wrote, “Health care policies related to screening guidelines are designed for populations, often millions of people, with respect to a particular screening test. They take into account healthcare cost, downstream practises, etc. It is not credible to imagine that a Senator, Vice President, and President could not have undergone routine blood tests that included PSA. I repeat my belief that it would be malpractice to not test PSA in a male US President. Given that we are back in the situation of knowing that it is a 5 to 7 year process from diagnosis to metastatic disease. Yes, there are less than 5% of patients who can present with metastatic disease without primary indications via the PSA but…Come on, Man!!” – Dr. Quay.

<2008: “Sometime before 2008, Biden developed an enlarged prostate; biopsy showed no cancer. At an unspecified time before 2019, he took medication to counter what was diagnosed as benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH).” Some people are noting that doctors don’t usually screen for prostate cancer after age 70. Others say it depends on the patient. Given this medical history and the extreme importance of a POTUS’s health, doesn’t it follow that Walter Reed would have been extra careful to watch his PSA levels? Unless, of course, they already knew he had cancer and was being treated for it, but had to cover it up because ………. yeah, why would they do that?

December 2019: Following his annual physical, doctors report Biden is “healthy, vigorous” and “fit to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency.”

November 2021: Following his annual physical, doctors report Biden is “healthy” and “fit” to be president.

July 2022: CLICK https://x.com/Saveourcoast24/status/1924308658369765699 [:27] to hear Biden say he has cancer. Can you imagine the left-wing’s hysteria if Trump ever said such a thing? It would be 24-7 “either he has cancer OR he’s demented” and “IMPEACHMENT!” For Biden? I don’t even remember this slip of the tongue happening and I read the news almost every day for this blog.

February 2023: Following his annual physical, doctors declare Biden remains “fit for duty.“

February 2024: [4:24] – Following his annual physical, doctors declare Biden is “fit for duty.” CLICK https://x.com/n_ikay_/status/1924463673440965118 [2:46] to hear Dems and their shills in the media lie right along with his doctors.

July 2024: White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed the president has undergone a neurological exam three times since becoming president, as a part of each of his annual physicals at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

When questioned about why Walter Reed neurologist Dr. Kevin Cannard had visited the White House three times, she said it was for the president’s health, but never says why. One wonders if it was related to the neurological side-effects of the drugs commonly used to treat prostate cancer. Like, maybe he had a crisis and his doctor had to come assess and adjust his dosage?

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Teach us new ways to thank You! Amen.

2A: [13:58] – More than 10 million Americans who were convicted of non-violent felonies have zero right to own a fire arm. The Trump administration is moving to change that.

AUTISM: A new report from the CDC says autism rates among children in America have continued to rise at an alarming rate. They are currently at 1 in 31, significantly up from two years ago and nearly five times higher than when the CDC first started running autism surveys in children born in 1992. It’s worse in boys, who are at 1 in 20.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says that autism is a preventable disease caused by environmental factors, with possibilities including mold, air, medicines, and the increase in the average age of parents. He says nobody has really looked at these factors, but they will be launching studies soon.

BIG PHARMA: In a bid to limit industry influence, the FDA is removing pharmaceutical company representatives from advisory committees. Noting that the FDA has “a history of being influenced unduly by corporate interests,” Dr. Marty Makary, the FDA’s new commissioner, said. “Industry employees are welcome to attend FDA advisory committee meetings, along with the rest of the American public, but having industry employees serve as official members of FDA advisory committee members represents a cozy relationship that is concerning to many Americans.” No kidding! And well done!

BORDER: As of April 14, more than 1,000 international students at over 170 colleges and universities have had their student visas revoked by the State Department.

FOREIGN AID: Here’s an idea … let’s stop sending money to other countries and let them hate us for free.

WALK AWAY: [5:39] – “What really did it for me was realizing how freaking depressed I was when I was a liberal.”

CLICK https://x.com/BonillaJL/status/1886990843141075353 [2:00] to see CNN snicker at Schumer, Maxine, and other Dem idjits chanting in the streets. Look at the expression on the black guy’s face as the white gal says Elon Musk’s DOGE was possibly the smartest thing any president has ever done.

On Wednesday, the House Oversight and Accountability Committee held a meeting titled “Rightsizing Government.” According to Newsmax, Ranking Democrat, Gerry Connolly, D-Va., railed against Elon Musk and moved to subpoena him to appear before the committee. The committee voted no.

LIFE: Whose body? Whose choice? – The unborn child of a Louisiana teen-ager was murdered in secret by its grandmother who disagreed with her daughter’s choice to give birth and keep her baby. The woman has been charged with violating a state law against coercion. The New York doctor who sold her the abortion pills by mail has also been charged, but NY Gov. Hochul is refusing to sign Louisiana’s extradition request. Despite the fact that the teen nearly died and that her wanted child did die, Hochul insists that abortion is health care.

Hochul also doesn’t give a toot about Louisiana’s right to regulate what is and is not shipped out of her state, which annoys the heck out of me. In 2023, Gov. Hochul signed a law restricting a whole host of dietary supplements to “adults only.” I have tried to order green tea and psyllium husk powder from Vitacost only to learn at check-out that I would have to pay nearly $10 extra to sign for them in person. The law is alleged to be about protecting minors from engaging in unsafe weight loss and/or body building regimes, which is more than a tad ironic. Why are New York Democrats so anal about protecting kids only after they’re born? And why do they simultaneously protect the illegals who rape and murder them?

MEDIA: The FCC has released the unedited version of the Kamala Harris interview that CBS edited to make her sound less awful. The part they clipped is between the / marks. “Right now, we are supporting Ukraine’s ability to defend itself against Russia’s unprovoked aggression, / and doing what we can to continue to build and strengthen the alliance around the support for Ukraine’s right to be an independent nation, free from having its borders forcefully taken by Russia. And we are going to continue to work closely with our NATO allies to continue to reinforce America’s alliance in the context of NATO. /”

USAID: As of Friday, nearly all of the 10,000 workers at USAID will be on leave, with only a small subset of “designated personnel responsible for mission-critical functions, core leadership and specially designated programs” exempt. Those posted abroad will be expected to return to the United States within 30 days.

VACCINES: In 1986, President Reagan signed the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act into law. Calling vaccines “unavoidably unsafe,” the law protects manufacturers from financial liability. The law was in tended to ensure a stable market supply of vaccines and to provide cost-effective arbitration for vaccine injury claims. In 2011, the Supreme Court ruled that the law protects manufacturers from being sued for defects in vaccine design. Twenty-one medical groups, including the American Medical Association (AMA), agree that vaccines are “unavoidably unsafe.” Meanwhile, the mantra “vaccines are safe” is used to justify mandates that, in some cases, violate individual religious beliefs and medical objections.

The #1 thing that pisses me off about vaccine debates is that too many people are “all or nothing” about it. My youngest was injured by the pertussis vaccine in 1985. It was later shown to be too dangerous and has been modified to make it safer. Fortunately, I had an excellent doctor who took a smart approach to vaccinations. His method was to individually evaluate each child’s medical history, each vaccine’s safety record, and each disease before deciding on a vaccine regimen. He considered how treatable each disease was, what its potential risks might be if contracted, and what the likelihood was that the children would come into contact with it. Then, with the vaccines we decided to give them, he was cautious about administering them so we could evaluate how each child responded to each vaccine.

WOMEN’S SPORTS: Yesterday, Trump signed an executive order designed to protect female athletes. He called it “the latest in a sweeping effort to reclaim our culture and our laws from the radical left crusade against biological reality.” The order bans K–12 schools and universities that receive federal funding from allowing biological males to use female facilities or participate in female sports.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, May Your word be always on our minds and lips and in our ears and hearts. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

APPLES: The apple became associated with the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge in the story of Adam and Eve primarily because the Latin Vulgate Bible uses the word “malum” for “evil.” Since the word for apple is spelled the same way (though pronounced differently), in the Middle Ages depicted the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge as an apple. The Bible itself does not specify any particular fruit.

BORDER: “Look, if I offend anybody today, I don’t care. Some in the media say I’m offensive. I’m okay with that because I get to their minds rent-free. That’s kind of cool.” [14:10] – If you prefer to read, there is a transcript of his speech at the link below.

CIVILITY: CLICK https://x.com/w_terrence/status/1873909023336259778 [2:45] to see the latest Don Lemon f-bombed melt down. He calls Trump supporters stupid and dumb, but I notice he only knows one adjective.

From the comments: “I’m a social psychologist. One of the things we study is cults + indoctrination and brainwashing. The Democrats are the cult. They don’t dare disagree with anything promoted by their leadership, no matter how destructive or nonsensical (e.g. humans cannot change sex). Projection here.” – Dr. Dina McMillan

CORRUPT CONGRESS CRITTERS: This is one of those things I can’t digest for you, because it makes me so MAD, I can’t even type straight. Read it at the risk of your blood pressure rising to dangerous levels. “A RealClearInvestigations analysis found that Pelosi’s profits spiked from a variety of holdings that won significant government rescue funds – which amounted to $28 million, a total more than previously known. … Pelosi is hardly alone among lawmakers whose businesses reaped awards from pandemic-era financial programs designed for small businesses.”

DEMOCRAT FEAR MONGERING: According to the right-leaning Newsmax, “The CDC said that a sporadic case of severe H5N1 bird flu illness in a person is not unexpected as has previously been experienced in other countries during 2024 and prior years, including in cases that led to death. The agency said its assessment of risk to the public remains low.”

As per usual, the left-stream media is ignoring the science.

CBS News – “Why the latest bird flu case has experts worried about a potential pandemic”

CNN – “How America lost control of the bird flu”

NBC News – “Key warning signs about bird flu are all going in the wrong”

Newsweek – “Bird flu update: CDC says it’s searching for these pandemic red flags.”

PBS – “How America lost control of the bird flu and raised the risk of another pandemic”

Today – “Will Bird Flu Lead to a Pandemic or Lockdown? Experts Weigh In”

USA Today – “First severe bird flu case in US raises alarm on pandemic”

FAUXTUS: January 20th, here we come!! CLICK https://x.com/Riley_Gaines_/status/1873747972485431542 [2:46] and never, Never, NEVER forget the lies!

GOOD RIDDANCE: The Global Engagement Center (GEC) was founded in 2016 as a result of an Obama executive order aimed at controlling terrorism. The office, housed within the State Department, was mandated to work only overseas; it didn’t. Instead, it became the Democrats’ enabler of speech suppression in the United States. This month, the GEC lost its congressional funding. As Gwen Walz would say, “Buh, bye! It’s time to turn the page.”

OBAMACARE: In 2013, before the so-called “Affordable Care Act” regulations kicked in, insurers denied roughly 1.5% of claims. But under ACA rules, average denials are at nearly 15% with some insurers denying a third or more of claims. As with most Democrat legislation, the title tells you the opposite of how the law will actually affect us.

RIP: Former President Jimmy Carter died at his home in Plains, Georgia, on Sunday. He was 100 years old.

GRAMMY NOTES: When I was pregnant, people would ask if I wanted a boy or a girl. I always said, “I’m really hoping it’s not a puppy or a kitten.”
