Never have I seen such a concise, complete and accurate account of physician burnout; and why no one is talking about it while some areas are stretched to their limits. #burnout #HeroesOfCovid19 nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

@BasedMikeLee And yet a majority of Americans want universal healthcare.

Socialized medicine always leads to rationing and low-quality healthcare

@TorahJews x.com/CharlesLCarter…

Israel is nothing but a political entity created less than a 100 years ago. It is not “the Jews.” Or Judaism. Nor a part of our Jewish identity. Why is that so hard for some to grasp?

@wil_da_beast630 Agree. And I disagree with affirmative action and DEI in general. ATAT the converse is also true. It’s almost never possible to look at someone and say “she’s a diversity hire”, which cons do all the time.

The existence of a qualified woman or minority, in a job, is not "DEI."

@pst_Goodness Am I confused or do lots of people who’ve never been to medical school have strong opinions on what is taught there?

Unpopular opinion about medical school that will put you in this position

@lady_valor_07 I would tip more. But more fair would be to tip $5-7.50 per person whether Applebees or a 3 star Michelin restaurant. Maybe more if serving 5 courses and/or exceptional display when serving.

If you rack up a $1,800 dinner bill and tip $30, you’re a horrible person. 😒

@AesPolitics1 But he was the best actor to ever reside in the WH! Also the first person I ever heard use “misspoke”. Which means lie.

Reagan is one if not the worst presidents in history and I stand by that statement to my dying day.

The Islamists don't want you to know this. Meet Haj Amin al-Husseini, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. In 1941, he didn't just sympathize with the Nazis. He worked with them. 🔴 He toured Nazi concentration camps 🔴 He recruited Muslims for the Waffen-SS 🔴 He pressured Hitler to extend the Final Solution to the Middle East 🔴 He signed pacts with the Axis powers to build a "Jew-free" Arab world He later mentored Yasser Arafat and laid the ideological foundation of the Palestinian national movement. The ideology didn't begin in 1948. It began here. RT if they won't teach this in school. 👇

@BennyBar1005 Concise, factual, well-reasoned.

EL HEROICO ESTADO DE ISRAEL Por el escritor peruano Jaime Bayly.. A los que me critican por defender al heroico Estado de Israel, heroico, sí! El pueblo judío ha sido perseguido, expulsado, escarmentado y torturado durante siglos. Ninguna nación ha sido tan brutalmente acosada y diezmada como ella. Israel está rodeado de dictaduras terroristas (Siria, Irán) y monarquías árabes (Arabia Saudita, Qatar) que aspiran explícitamente a destruir al Estado de Israel, borrarlo del mapa, matar a todos los judíos. Por eso los terroristas armados de Hamas esconden en sus túneles en Gaza las armas que esas dictaduras y monarquías antisemitas les hacen llegar. Esta guerra, como casi todas las que ha librado valientemente Israel contra sus vecinos hostiles, la comenzaron los terroristas locos de Hamas, por cierto muy populares entre los palestinos, tanto que hasta han ganado elecciones, disparando cohetes contra la población civil israelí. Qué pretenden, que Israel se quede cruzado de brazos, viendo cómo caen bombas disparadas por Hamas, matando civiles inocentes israelíes? Israel tiene el derecho moral y la obligación militar de defenderse, por eso entraron a Gaza para dar de baja a los terroristas de Hamas, destruir sus túneles llenos de bombas y proteger a los ciudadanos israelíes. Desgraciadamente murieron niños palestinos, pero eso ocurrió porque los locos antisemitas de Hamas los usaron como carne de cañón, exponiéndolos deliberadamente en los focos de violencia, para luego decir que Israel es un país genocida y se divierte matando niños. No es tan simple la cosa. Genocidio es lo que hicieron los nazis con los judíos, matar terroristas antisemitas no es genocidio. Israel es una democracia admirable. Millón y medio de árabes viven pacíficamente en Israel sin ser perseguidos en modo alguno y hasta con derecho a voto. ¿Acaso un millón y medio de israelíes podrían vivir tranquila y dignamente en ese Gaza, o en Siria, o en Irán? El pueblo de Israel, que ha sido torturado durante siglos por musulmanes, por católicos, por nazis, por media Europa que era y sigue siendo antisemita, tiene derecho a defenderse de las bárbaras agresiones de sus enemigos. Por lo demás, no hay una sola democracia en el mundo árabe, una sola, porque no sería serio decir que Irak y Afganistán son realmente democracias, hay elecciones cada tanto gracias a que los gringos se metieron cuando no debieron, pero en realidad son países cuyas distintas etnias y religiones quieren entrematarse en una guerra civil para luego imponer una tiranía que persiga y extermine a las minorías. Larga vida al Estado de Israel. Y como ex católico, les pido disculpas por las atrocidades que los católicos hicieron contra ellos a lo largo de la historia.

@donyadelsouz And while more recent there was a legitimate process to its founding, not seen in any Western hemisphere country. (All of which are accepted and established.)

Israel Derangement Syndrome: If a story blames Israel, it’s believed instantly, no verification needed, even the wildest conspiracy theories. If it challenges that narrative, suddenly everyone becomes a fact-checker, demanding a mountain of evidence and still countering it with conspiracies and whataboutism🫠

@mnsportsguy72 @DrNeilStone Just not credible.

@DrNeilStone Everyone I know had major side effects and wouldn't think about doing it again.

Who here has had all their recommended vaccines with either no or minor side effects? 🤚

@DrNeilStone I have. Minor side effects with 2nd shingles dose. At age 69 I had the smallpox vaccine but not MMR or chickenpox vaccines.

@KCDVM @MatrixMysteries It’s a stupid investment. Thankfully 17 and 18 year-olds don’t have opportunities to borrow and invest that much otherwise

@MatrixMysteries Yes. Interest while still in school is predatory. That said, there’s also a responsibility to borrowing. If you’re entering a career that can’t repay the loan. It’s a stupid investment.

An American checks her student loans. She borrowed $49,548.74. After 120 payments, she’s paid $25,558.36. Her current balance? $50,121.33. After paying $25k… she now owes MORE than she originally borrowed. This isn’t aid — it’s a SCAM.

@MattBraynard Some of that is simply how language evolves, as every midwit (not actually a word, BTW) knows.

I have a whole bunch of midwits in my comments pointing out modern dictionary definitions, not recognizing that modern dictionaries bow to the masses, IE if enough people start misusing a word, the postmodernist liberals will change the definition. So take a look at the definition for "woman" in the Cambridge dictionary and then tell me that's what should be an authority for the meaning of words.

Pet peeve: to "decimate" means to reduce by 10%, so stop using it like it's a synonym for "destroy." Just say "destroy." You don't sound smarter, you sound stupid.

@MattBraynard I thought it was to reduce TO 10%? Regardless, that ship has sailed. Take on “gender” next.

@COMRADEBLOOM @ImtiazMadmood I think he explains that very eloquently. If you disagree, say so and make a case.

@ImtiazMadmood How does being born in Syria make it logical to support a state that has bombed Syria?

My name is Asmar Tiba. I was born in Damascus, and this is why I am vocal in my support for Israel. When I was a child, 13 years old, I experienced war, and I quickly became a war refugee. I stand with Israel because Israel is at war. I do not stand with Lebanon or Gaza. To them, war is a choice. Gazans invaded Israel, committed atrocities, and held hostages for 2 years, 3 months, 2 weeks, and 5 days. They have had the opportunity every single day to end the war, or not to start it in the first place. Southern Lebanon, Northeast, the Bekaa Valley, and Beirut's Dahiya suburbs, where Hezbollah operates, these areas can be fully destroyed, and it doesn't bother me. I always remind myself that peace is a choice. As for “Palestine,” in my world, it doesn't exist anymore. The project was adopted by terrorists and dissolved even before I was born. But history shows that hate groups targeting the Jews will always emerge and popularise extremist ideologies, whether it's Nazism or Palestinianism. One good thing is that, we didn't even have to get rid of Palestine; they did it themselves. Those who adopted the cause have liquidated it. I absolutely support the Israeli invasion of southern Lebanon, and I believe all countries invested in the international peacekeeping forces (UNIFIL) should do the same if peacekeeping is the intention. UNIFIL (the United Nations Interim Force) has failed to keep the area demilitarised due to the presence of the terrorist organisation Hezbollah. I am very thankful that Israel is doing the peacekeeping job for the UN and destroying Hezbollah. I am also very thankful to Israel for their protection of the Golan Heights of Israel, a region previously known to be under the control of terrorists who wanted to divert river water and cause permanent geographical damage. Today, Ramat Golan in Israel, is a liveable place, thanks to actions taken by the Israel Defence Forces in 1967. Being born in Damascus has exposed me to a perspective shaped by deception, lies, and hatred. I was told that I must go and "liberate" Jerusalem. I went to Jerusalem and I liberated my soul from this hatred. Photo from 5/2/2026: Me in Jerusalem, the capital of Israel. - Asmar Tiba

@IndianaModerate @PedroPi05884609 @wil_da_beast630 I just want universal care even though I fear more regulation and oversight. Why haven’t cons put together legislation for the universal coverage that most Americans want?

@PedroPi05884609 @wil_da_beast630 The path to universal healthcare in the US isn't more socialism, it's more capitalism -- less centralized government and more economic competition. We could easily have a system more like Germany or Switzerland with current tax funding. But the left wants a government monopoly.

Capitalism is the only major economic system focused on the creation of new wealth. Historically, you got things of value by stealing them from well-off enemies and - stripped of the Book of Mormon-level economic theology - this is also all Communism breaks down to.

@wil_da_beast630 Accurate on the whole but overly simplistic.

@ErinEpley @wil_da_beast630 100%

Capitalism is a great economic system, when it has guardrails. In that ecosystem it generates wealth and protects the people servicing the machine. Unchecked capitalism generates wealth at the top, provides huge tax-exemption to big business while cutting into the working man’s paycheck, and erodes the middle-class by chewing into its own consumer base (reducing middle-class and grinding down workers), plus it sullies the planet. Seems, like most MAGA leadership, you forgot there’s a balance.

@Amr1stBiker @KR3Wmatic @otieno_tester Maybe we read different Bibles? I don’t recall insults from Christ nor mention of ‘willful ignorance’. Earlier in life I was desperate to believe but found I’d be lying if I said as much. Yet I respect many who do.

@CharlesLCarter3 @KR3Wmatic @otieno_tester Christ’s Teachings Jesus often confronted willful ignorance. The Bible distinguishes between innocent ignorance & willful refusal to learn, which leads to spiritual destruction. Jesus called for repentance, noting "the age of ignorance" regarding God's will is over”..Goodbye

My atheist daughter asked me to prove God's existence. What do I tell her? She is 19.

@deadpoetlive @SachaRoytman Sorry to overwhelm you but I think you’re misinformed. Imperfect maybe but Israel is the only liberal democracy in the Middle East. Hamas, meanwhile, has been very effective with indoctrination and propaganda. x.com/aj_inapi/statu…

@CharlesLCarter3 @SachaRoytman Israel is a violent supremacist settler colony

For decades we’ve heard genocide accusations against Israel, and today they’re louder than ever in protests. But the facts tell a different story. Since the first formal UN accusation in 1982, the Palestinian population in the West Bank and Gaza has grown from 1.55M to 5.56M in 2025 — a 3.6× increase. Genocide doesn’t produce sustained population growth like this. Facts matter.
