https://www.forbes.com/sites/tylerroush/2024/12/13/nancy-pelosi-fell-down-stairs-in-luxembourg-will-nee/ 84-year old Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi is on a bipartisan Congressional trip to Luxembourg. Apparently, Rep. Pelosi fell and fractured her hip. She was medivac'd to a hospital and is reportedly receiving excellent treatment. However, Rep. Pelosi will not be attending the remaining events on the schedule. Only after being forced to drop out of the race, POTUS PJB is on his way back to Delaware. He can sit in his office there and believe he's still working. Senator Mitch McConnell is still having medical issues but he's stepped down as Senate Majority Leader. Claims he will not seek re-election in 2027. The universe might stamp that decision. America really needs to push for term limits and a mandatory retirement age for politicians. Politicians should not be any different from most citizens who in one way or another are ushered out of the workforce before they reach 70 years old. These politicians aren't working to feed their families. They've already got more money than they'll ever spend in their remaining years. Rep. Nancy Pelosi has a net worth of about $230 millon dollars. She can afford to sat down somewhere...whenever her hip heals.😎

America's wealth was built on the backs and stomachs of Black Women

A huge portion of America's wealth was extracted from the land white folks stole from the people who were already here.😎

@ProfD:Why do you couple Luigi Magione, the white guy who gunned down the white CEO of United Health Insurance, with "white supremist racism" when the reason he is being hailed as a hero by many is because he struck a blow against oligarchic corporate America for how it exploits and underserves its customers. I wouldn't put him in a category with the "subway killer". Conservatives are the ones being so vocal about this killing.

If I can only recommend one book to a person it is Marcus Aurelius's. Meditations. He was a soldier a general and became emperor of Rome. The book is about how to conduct oneself. One of the quote is, "It is better to be straight than straightened."

@Troy:Yes; my brother and his lady friend attended the ceremony. There were about 8 or 9 other surviving crew members who also attended. Whoever was Predidrnt Clinton's Secretary of Navy back then presented the medals. I underdtand there is a TV documentary about the original USS Mason on one of the cable channels out there. The Navy retired this ship and commissioned a new one with that name.
