New CDC data and frontline reporting show U.S. influenza activity soaring at the highest levels in over 25 years. Clinic testing is red lining with about 1/3 flu tests positive. Outpatient doctor visits for flu-like illness are hitting the highest rate recorded since 1997.

Very nice article Dave☃️

@MyArrse Why stop there ??

Donald Trump could be gone by March. Democrats and Republics are joining together to reach 218 to impeach Trump for abuse of power.

@Mr_Husky1 Finding opportunities to help and heal others is most fulfilling 🙏🏼

I deliver pizzas on the weekends. Last Saturday, I got an order for a small pepperoni to a house at the end of a dark cul-de-sac. An old man answered the door. He moved slow. "I didn't really want the pizza," he said, handing me the cash. "My wife died last month. We used to eat pizza on Saturdays. The house is just… too quiet." I looked at my delivery app. I had no other orders pending. "Well," I said. "I'm on my break. You mind if I have a slice with you?" His eyes widened. "You would?" I sat on his porch for 45 minutes. We ate the pizza. He told me about his wife, Martha. She loved gardening. She hated spicy food. When I stood up to leave, he grabbed my hand. "You're a good kid. You filled the silence." I didn't make much in tips that night. But I made a friend.

I just left the Venezuela briefing. It's worse than you thought. Oil company executives seem to know more about Trump's secret plan to "run" Venezuela than the American people. We need public Senate hearings NOW.

@NancySinatra I recently read another heartwarming story about your dad’s generosity and humility of giving back to others less fortunate, what a beautiful blessing your dad was💐

Rob Reiner received an emotional tribute at the 2026 #CriticsChoiceAwards during Chelsea Handler’s opening monologue: “Everyone in this room knows that the nicest guy in Hollywood was Rob Reiner. Anyone who ever spent time with Rob Reiner knows that the minute you met him, he felt like an old friend when you were in a conversation with him. He was present, he was focused and he was funny, and he would ask you tons of questions, whether you were discussing politics or film or the latest beauty trends. He was all in after I sent him a text thanking him for dinner a few months ago. He texted me back and said, ‘We had so much fun with you last night. Thanks for explaining so much about plastic surgery. It was very edifying.'” “Rob and Michele [Singer] were tireless in their efforts to so many important causes, all stemming from one basic idea, decency and that we should all look out for each other. I think we can all agree that we definitely need more of that. So let’s use tonight as a reminder of that decency and as a reminder of everything Rob and Michele represented and fought so hard for.” variety.com/2026/film/news…

This is Caracas. Nicolás Maduro is not popular in Venezuela, but make no mistake, Trump is the most loathed human being on the planet — and Venezuelans will not allow the loathsome piece of shit to plunder and pillage their country without a fight. 😳👇

If you only do one thing today, please listen to this BEAUTIFUL poem dedicated to A Dog Named Beau. Golden Retriever Beau was the very loved companion of Jimmy Stewart. When Beau died Jimmy poured all of his sentiments for Beau into a poem entitled “I’ll Never Forget a Dog Named Beau,” which he recited on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. It touched millions of hearts 😢.

After my husband’s college reunion, we stopped at Waffle House for a little “feel-better” meal. As we walked out, a loud call caught my attention. Sitting in a crate in the back of a truck was a black-and-tan **German Shepherd**. 🐕‍🦺 As I walked closer, two men ran out of the restaurant and said, “Do you want the dog? You can take him.” My husband replied, “No thanks, we already have two dogs.” I agreed—until one of them added, “We’re going to dispose of him after breakfast. Taking him would just save us the trouble.” I snapped back, “Excuse me? What do you mean, dispose?” They explained that this German Shepherd didn’t want to guard, wasn’t aggressive, and showed no interest in the kind of “protection work” they tried to train him for. They had spent a lot of money and decided it was easier to get rid of him than find him a home. I looked at my husband and said, “Put the dog in the car. We’ll find him a home later—but I can’t leave him here.” My husband wasn’t thrilled, but he agreed. The German Shepherd was terrified and just wanted to stay close, leaning into us for safety and reassurance. 🐾 When we got home, we introduced him to our dogs and checked his temperament. He passed everything with ease—calm, affectionate, and deeply bonded to people. No guarding, no jobs—family was all he wanted. A rescue group later called to say someone wanted him. After hanging up, my husband’s eyes filled with tears. “I can’t do it,” he said. “The moment we put him in the car, he became part of our family.” Now this gentle, loyal German Shepherd is stretched out on our couch—safe, loved, and exactly where he belongs. The only thing we ever brought home from Waffle House and never regretted… was him. Credit: German shepherd mafia
