@1Nicdar When the Dems cry "Medicare for all" who do they think will be paying the monthly premium that those on Medicare now pay?

My Remarks @PressClubDC National Press Club First Amendment Discussion

“On Monday, I wrote my first check to the US District Court for the $800 dollar daily contempt fine.   The plaintiff is now asking the court to increase the fines to $5000 dollars a day, and bar third-party reimbursements for the fines.  This is designed to break a journalist — mentally, emotionally and financially.”

“It should also concern every journalist — and every American who values a free press — that vital First Amendment rights are being decided in a case where the courts have kept important evidence secret from the public by keeping documents under seal.”

“Serious journalists everywhere should demand the release of this sealed evidence so the public can fully understand what is truly at stake when courts impose fines and order reporters to reveal their sources.”

“At a time when many corporate media outlets choose to settle or pressure journalists to surrender their notes, I want to acknowledge that Fox News has continued to stand behind me and fully support the First Amendment and investigative journalism by paying my attorney’s fees — even though I left the network seven years ago.”

I’m going to blow your mind. Are you ready? Hold on tight!

Dr. Oz and Nick Shirley just walked a single block in NYC and found double-digit pharmacies.

Dr. Oz: “I don’t think you could go anywhere in America and think this was normal unless there was a cash cow business feeding it.”

Nick Shirley: “All these people need is a medical beneficiary number, and that is worth more than any credit card that a senior can give anybody.”

Dr. Oz: “Some of the drugs in these pharmacies cost more than a car. Think about that.”

What the hell is actually going on here?

A social media influencer walked into a small-town grocery store and reacted as if she'd stumbled upon a crime scene.

Her disgust went viral for being completely out of touch with reality.

But the best part? The follow-up video of two guys perfectly imitating the experience right down to the facial expressions.

@DineshDSouza Well time to unfollow you. I did not realize how anti Caholic you were. The Pope does not run Catholic Charities.

@mamboitaliano__ His visit would have overshadowed everything else going on for the 250. Security alone would have been impossible. Better he comes at another time. Stop nitpicking.

@mkhammer The law requires medical services provide translators for non english patients. Expand that to require that non techie patients be provided with assistance in medical matters. Flag the record as such.

[Stumpy @johnchapter6]

@QueenMother1976 If non English speakers are entitled to a translator, non techie patients should have their records flagged so that they have to be called in person re medical matters. Make it a law.

@EricLDaugh @MargoMartin47 All the complainers against spending money on restoring our monuments have nothing to say about the billions that have gone to fraudsters. At least with this I can see where my tax money is going .

Has anyone ever wondered why Do is called Do, Re is called Re, and Mi is called Mi? The story behind the origin of the musical scale is interesting and unexpected.

It all begins with a Benedictine monk who lived in the 11th century (995–1050), named Guido d’Arezzo. He noticed a peculiarity in a very popular hymn to Saint John the Baptist at the time.

This hymn was composed of 7 verses, each with a different musical note. For this reason, the monk named each note using the first two letters of each verse. Here is the hymn:

Ut queant laxis (Ut)
Resonare fibris (Re)
Mira gestorum (Mi)
Famuli tuorum (Fa)
Solve polluti (Sol)
Labii reatum (La)
Sancte Ioannes (Si)

(So that your servants, with free voices, may resound the wonders of your deeds, cleanse the guilt from our stained lips, O Saint John the Baptist)

Since the syllable “Ut” was not easy to sing, it was replaced by “Do” in 1640 by Giovanni Battista Doni.

Not many people in the world of music, today so far removed from God, know that the names of the musical notes come from a hymn to the greatest of His prophets. Happy Saint John’s Day!

I know so many of you have been wondering where I’ve been.  Please know I’ve read your comments, prayers and words of support and kindness. It meant the world to me.

Goodbyes are hard. But they are necessary before you can meet again…

Love,

Most people are taught a very simple story about American slavery.

But history is messier.

Anthony Johnson, a Black man from Angola, arrived in Virginia in 1621 as an indentured servant. He gained his freedom, became a landowner — and in 1655 won a court case to keep his

Black servant John Casor as his slave for life. This helped set an early legal precedent for chattel slavery.
In 1830 there were 3,775 free Black slave owners holding ~12,760 enslaved people.

Did you know this part of the story?
Does it change how you see the “simple” version we’re usually taught?

Share it if you’re tired of slogans and want facts instead.

Tag someone who needs to see this.
Facts > slogans.

@KatiePavlich He should not be able to represent anyone on immigration matters. Then be disbarred.
