Great Spirit bless 🙏

Morning, everyone. I wasn't feeling the best this morning, so I am late getting the news started. I may be keeping it short. I am not feeling ill; I am less than perky from feeling ill earlier. This dum-dum GERD feels like the aftereffect of eating carrion with vultures. A sick stomach sucks out all your energy 😰

As for the weather right now, it's hard to say; there's a thick Frankenstein movie-like fog out there. I'm expecting to see the Frankenstein monster 🤖 come lurching out any time from the bushes 🌿🌳🌾 across the driveway /┆\ Well, at least I still have my sense of humor 🫤 I hope🥹

TODAY'S DISCUSSION:

Pirates, Thieves and Brigands

I was chasing a news item that just turned out to be a picture of a rabbit hole, nothing more. It was an old story someone pumped up, with no basis or results from a Google search whose sole source was Instagram. Grab any old news and pump it up bigger than the original. AN AIR SANDWICH! Conspiracy theories, clickerama schemes, nut job schemes, that Bitcoin stuff, etc., etc. Nothing better to do than misguide people. The same bunch as those telemarketers, or online adverts, anything to separate you from your bucks kind of 💩 GREED IS IN THE AIR. DON'T DARE SMILE IN THE PUBLIC SQUARE. THEY MAY STEAL YOUR DENTURES, AND COME BACK FOR YOUR UNDERWEAR, GUM YOUR STEAK RARE, AND AT THE PRICE OF STEAK, IT'S VERY RARE! ♪♫♭｡♪˚♬𝄞 👵🦷

Now I am hearing about Identity theft. That is one thing NO ONE is 100% protected from identity theft. There are many ways they can get your Social Security number; once they have that, they can access your credit cards and so on. Even just making a living has become a very real disaster for the many who live on paychecks. Because that's how the Orange pig makes a nothing out of you.

How fraudsters are stealing from Canadian health-care workers | Full episode | the fifth estate

A data breach at B.C’s Interior Health means thousands of employees’ information is for sale on the dark web. Health-care workers’ identities are repeatedly stolen; the agency denies it ever happened.

If I were the Judge, I would throw the book at the Agency, "excuse me, but...ahem," CROOKS! the whole lot of them for allowing this mishandling of personal information to happen in the first place.

BREAKING NEWS:

Suspect at White House Correspondents’ Dinner may have been targeting Trump officials, Blanche says

President Donald Trump and top officials were rushed to safety after shots were fired near stairs leading down to the main ballroom.

Here's The Latest:

• Potential motive: The suspected gunman who charged through a security checkpoint at last night’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner appeared to be targeting Trump administration officials, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told CNN.

• How the incident unfolded: President Donald Trump and top officials were rushed to safety at the Washington Hilton after shots were fired near stairs leading down to the ballroom, sending attendees ducking for cover. The suspect, who police say was armed with a shotgun, handgun and knives, “got off a few shots” before he was subdued by law enforcement, according to Blanche.

• California man in custody: Authorities identified the suspect as Cole Tomas Allen, a 31-year-old from California, three sources told CNN. He will face several charges, US Attorney Jeanine Pirro said. FBI agents assembled overnight outside a home linked to Allen in Torrance, a Los Angeles suburb..

Just a' wonderin': we have two entrances into the ballroom involved, guarded. It would take a lot of expertise to pull off an assassination, with a shotgun, pistol, and knives." Even if he got through both guarded entrances, how accurate would his aim be with any of the weapons he had to reach his intended target accurately? Did he think he was Bruce Lee?

That's all the news I have from CNN today, folks. It's all about Ronald McDonald Trumpo the Typo. Have a great day.

• ‘We are less-than’: Americans fear more cuts to healthcare programs after RFK Jr. hearings
• The Trump administration is poised to eviscerate Medicaid access for millions. RFK Jr. offered little to soften the incoming blow.

The walls are closing in on millions of Americans who utilize federal healthcare benefits such as Medicare and Medicaid, as the sweeping changes and cuts promised in President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” inch closer to reality, and lawmakers do little to soften the incoming blow.

All eyes were on Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. last week as he wrapped up a marathon seven congressional committee hearings, in review of several proposed federal health nominees and his handling of HHS. Senators spent the week grilling Kennedy over Trump’s 2027 budget proposal, which would cut $15.8 billion from HHS and put new restrictions on those seeking Medicaid coverage — on top of the impacts of Trump’s bill, which leaves millions at risk of losing insurance coverage.

But the Kennedy hearings didn’t offer much in the way of positive news for federal aid recipients anxious about the future. Instead, Kennedy spent the week defending Trump’s budget proposal and balking — or making misleading claims — about cuts to Medicaid, which is poised to lose $1 trillion in federal spending by 2034 under Trump’s current terms. “In all honesty, until Trump is gone, RFK is out, along with others who shouldn’t be anywhere near anything to do with Healthcare...

Albertans call for answers after being stranded on northern highway during snow storm

'The people that should have cared did not care fast enough until it was too late'

Judith Iwaszkiw is used to Alberta’s unpredictable snow storms, and even more used to driving during them. “We travel in inclement weather all the time. It's just part of living up here,” said Iwaszkiw, a former emergency services professional from Fort McMurray, Alta.

But her drive on Friday, up from Medicine Hat, Alta., was unlike any other. Iwaszkiw was in one of around 300 stranded vehicles on Highway 63, the only major route in and out of Fort McMurray. Highway 63, and the nearby Highway 881, reopened Saturday after heavy snow and strong winds led stranded motorists and a road closure on Friday...
