    I believe the reason there is a recent, full-court press of transgender propaganda is Michelle Obama is actually a man whose name was Michael for many years. Barack, who is the actual president manipulating the senile Biden, is working toward an effort to nominate Michelle as a Democrat presidential candidate and he wants to soften the dramatic opposition for a reveal “Michelle” is a biological male.

      1. i agree.
        personally i think she’s too lazy.
        but if she does it for barry, he’d get 5 freaking terms in office to totally devastate this country

    2. Certainly a possibility, IMO….I’ve said for a very long time: watch out for Big Mike! I REALLY hope I’m proved wrong on this one but…these freaks LOVE to be “first ever!”

      OK – lilac bush planted; last of the old Honeysuckle vines pulled down – the oldest vine already has some blooms on it; everything watered that needs to be…and it’s hotter than you-know-what! What a difference no wind makes – 88 now and only the slightest breeze now and then. Prefaces the storms that will follow, no doubt.

        1. Oh, poooh…just a good guesser and getting a little bit wiser as we go along….LOL – there is something about those 2 that set off my spidey senses the minute I read one of his books when he first ran and won. Once I got involved with PFA, I learned even more and that verified that my spidey senses were accurate!

    1. LOL…will they try to get rhonda there before (while the crowds for Prez Trump are gathering) or after he’s gone (but before they all leave?)
      either way to get a sneaky photo op of “large crowds” for the meatball…LOL

  7. This is cute…I record Property Brothers shows, including Celebrity IOU. Today’s is Glenn Close; she is soooo down-to-earth and having a ball running the earth mover! LOL The woman she is helping has been her friend for 19 years, beginning with Glenn’s foundation fighting the stigma of mental illness. Glenn’s sister was bi-polar and was thinking of suicide; they formed this foundation, and this woman, with a 5 year old son with autism and no resources for help, found out about it and joined. They’ve been friends ever since.

  8. just got off the phone with my son.
    his dog and cat are now teaming up to get into mischief.
    the cat knocks the loaf of bread off the counter and the dog rips it open and they share it. then into the bathroom they go and do the same with a tube of toothpaste…luckily both times they were found out before either one got sick!

  9. OK, then – my awesome friend, Perry, in the Norfolk clinic returned my call to schedule an appointment. He was looking at the wrong file, tho, and thought my dental work was less than 10 days ago so he thought I would have to go to the dental clinic in Omaha. Once I explained, he set up an appointment for me this Thursday at 8 am.

    “Researchers Hid Data Showing Fluoride Lowers Kids’ IQs, Emails Reveal: California’s dental director and his team of researchers intentionally omitted data from a study seeking to undermine the forthcoming National Toxicology Program report linking fluoride exposure to neurodevelopmental damage in children, according to documents released last week.”
    By Brenda Baletti, Ph.D.

    EXCERPT: “A team of pro-fluoride researchers led by California’s dental director intentionally omitted data from a study seeking to undermine the forthcoming National Toxicology Program (NTP) report linking fluoride exposure to neurodevelopmental damage in children, according to documents released last week.

    The documents — obtained through a California public records search and posted in a press release by the Fluoride Action Network — show that the team, led by Dr. Jayanth V. Kumar, a dental surgeon, conducted a meta-analysis of the scientific literature on fluoride’s neurotoxicity and found a link between fluoride exposure and lowered IQ in children at low levels of exposure.

    However, they omitted the data and wrote a paper concluding there was no evidence of a link. Four rounds of peer review rejected Kumar’s manuscript as “poorly researched,” “internally inconsistent” and committing “unashamed exaggeration” before the journal Public Health finally published the study last month.”

    “Top 10 Most Hazardous Cosmetic Products Include a Shampoo for Kids: An analysis of personal care and cleaning products found the top 10 most hazardous products include a children’s shampoo, JLo Glow perfume, Kaboom with OxiClean, Axe body spray and Organix Shampoo.”
    By Dr. Joseph Mercola

    EXCERPT: “Story at a glance:

    — An analysis of personal care and cleaning products found the top 10 most hazardous products include a children’s shampoo, JLo Glow perfume, Kaboom with OxiClean, Axe body spray and Organix Shampoo.

    — Over-the-counter products are not inherently safe as there are nearly 13,000 chemicals used in cosmetics and only 10% have been tested for safety. This loophole was created by the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act, which does not force companies to disclose trade secrets.

    — The Environmental Working Group (EWG) found perfumes typically contain a dozen or more potentially hazardous chemicals, some of which are derived from petroleum. This chemical cocktail may be responsible for the rising number of adverse events reported after exposure to personal care products.

    — Look for products without dangerous chemicals, including parabens, “fragrance,” triclosan and toluene, or consider making your own products at home from safe and natural ingredients.

    Unfortunately, just because it’s sold over the counter does not mean a product is safe for you. In fact, of the nearly 13,000 chemicals used in cosmetics, only 10% have been tested for safety. While the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has the authority to regulate ingredients in cosmetics and personal care products, they often do not exercise it. Adding insult to injury, the FDA tasks companies manufacturing and marketing cosmetics with ensuring their safety.”
