Forecast of commercial healthcare costs to come in 2025 (MedCity report), what has occurred in the past, and what is expected beyond 2025. Meanwhile Congress is twiddling their thumbs arguing amongst themselves over what is more important to their existence . . . constituents or big business. Interesting too, how the Sadlers are getting themselves off the hook for the Opioid epidemic. They didn’t know? New Survey, employers’ project trending...

Follow the stories below about Albertsons and Kroger give away of following the money . . . In 2022; Albertsons is set to give away a third of its value to its private equity owner Cerberus and to other investors. The publicly traded supermarket chain Albertsons will pay a $4 billion special dividend in early November. That will occur if the SEC or other regulators do not intervene in the merger.

If the skies are clear tonight by you, it may be interesting to look to the sky to see the Moon. Supposedly it is blue, full, and what is called a super moon. What is a super blue moon and why is it so rare? What is so special about the August 19 super blue moon. It is exactly a combination of three elements . . . a full moon, a supermoon, and a blue moon at the same time. According to NASA, tonight’s combination is quite ‘irregular’...

People flock to trump venues where he stiffs the municipalities and leaves unpaid invoices. And this is ok for his followers? Unpaid invoices could keep Trump rallies at smaller Arizona venues By Camaron Stevenson Copper Courier After the Harris-Walz presidential campaign’s stadium-filled rally in Glendale, Arizona, last week, Trump supporters in the state may wonder when they’ll see a similar event for their candidate. Problem is . ....

August 9, 2024 by Heather Cox Richardson AB: Is trump a liar ??? Letters from an American When President Joe Biden announced that he would not accept the Democratic nomination for president and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris on July 21 less than three weeks ago, the horizon for the 2024 presidential election suddenly shortened from years to about three months. That shift apparently flummoxed the Republicans, who briefly talked...

I don’t get this. If a family plans early enough, why can’t they get three in a row? If the seat is available, book the child. Seats do not differentiate between small bottoms and large bottoms. The seat is occupied and paid for at a normal fare. Perhaps, I am missing something here, so fill me in on the issue. This is not a have to, it is a common sense solution. Tempest in a teapot. Proposal on family seating comes as officials have raised...

by Joyce Vance Civil Discourse  By now you’ve probably seen clips from the interview Donald Trump gave on stage at the National Association of Black Journalists conference in Chicago today. It was appalling. The only thing worse than the overt racism that came out of his mouth was his apparent belief that he could get away with it. The amazing Aaron Rupar put together an 11-minute cut of the interview that you might want to watch if you...

Two interesting commentaries up next. One by Prof. Heather Cox-Richardson (Letters from an American) and the other from Joyce Vance (Civil Discourse). I read them both after I read the commentaries from our own writers. The topic by both should not be surprising. Both are discussing Trumps breakdown when asked questions about his beliefs on race. Yes, I stopped just short of calling Trump a racist. What was once spoken in privacy, Trump has...

As taken from The Atlantic’s David Frum to which I subscribe. Bidens address explains why he was relinquishing power by marking himself as a modern Cincinnatus in actions . . . and his Republican rival as a new Catiline. Two political myths inspired the dreams and haunted the nightmares of the Founders of the American republic. Both these foundational myths were learned from the history and literature of the ancient Romans. The story?...

Potential Dem VP Pick Comes After JD Vance by Kathryn Rubino Above the Law Well, Joe Biden is out of the 2024 race for president. Dems have seemingly coalesced around Kamala Harris for the top of the ticket, leaving the political speculation to focus on who will be the Democratic Vice President candidate. There are plenty of qualified options out there, each bringing their own pluses and minuses to the equation. One tantalizing option...
