A treasure trove of cynical wisdom. Look for my ❌Spot Food and Travel.

@AzPetrich Surgeon’s job involves intelligence and technical skills. A politician just needs a heart beat. That’s why it was so easy🤣

Shinkansen from Tokyo to Osaka runs every 5-15 minutes. Bullet train from Merced to Bakersfield: No tracks yet after billions of dollars wasted 🤣

I already did. "The joke is on you." 😃 “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States….” A child born in the US is a person. Illegal aliens are subject to the jurisdiction of the US as demonstrated that they can be prosecuted for entering the US illegally since it is a crime. They are subject to our taxation laws. Foreign diplomats are not subject to the jurisdiction of the US by treaty, statute, or international law. 99.99% of people in the US are subject to US laws. All 9 justices ruled that children of illegal aliens could be US citizens.

Amy Coney Barrett is before Congress demanding more funding for security. She's happy to let the scoundrels into our country—just not in her own home.

@NicAtNigh What are truly dumb comment. A Supreme Court justice has nothing to do with border enforcement. All Barrett does is apply the written law, which is exactly what she is supposed to do.

Lindsey Graham's sister will serve his remaining term. Iranian Ayatollahs have a similar succession plan. What idiot thought this was a good idea?

Lindsey Graham’s sister randomly gets his job because he died?? Do I become a neuroscientist at Cornell when my sister dies because I’m not ready for that

✈️ I travel a lot and I’ve witnessed @united Airlines rapidly improve over the last few years to the number one spot. I basically fly no one else now. This morning (my first class upgrade was comped), the Captain came out and gave a whole talk on the weather (before taking a vote to change our DC flight to Hawaii instead!!). Now that’s service!

@BadgedPatriot Many years ago physicians at my hospital carried beepers which would give a brief oral message. One day while I was talking with the family of a patient not doing well, my wife paged me to let me know that what she called my dog had shit in the house. Terrible timing.

A woman,whose personality seemed aggressive & talked country as cornbread, asked me a rather odd question that I honestly didnt know how to answer other than to say "I wouldn't risk doing it." She said "Somebody at work is stealing people's lunches. I want to make a peanut butter sandwich & mix it with dog 💩 & laxative. If someone eats it & it makes them sick could I get in trouble? It's my food, intended for me, & they stole it so if they get sick it's on them, right?" Somebody is about to have a really 💩 day it sounds like😳👮‍♂️

At what point do airlines run out of passenger space to cut? 🤔 Flew a @cathaypacific A321neo aircraft on a 4-hour flight from HKG-KUL. The passenger in front reclined the *entire* flight -- including meals. That left just 18" between my headrest and the seatback in front 😬

Caller: “ I have a net worth of about $3 million and my Dad has asked for $55,000 to pay his debt. What should i do?” Caller: My 80 year old father is asking my husband and me for $55,000 to pay off his credit card and car loan debt. Dave: What’s your financial situation? Carla: We’re retired, debt free, net worth between $2 and $3 million but we’re on a fixed income and would have to dip into retirement accounts to do it. Dave: And your husband’s position? Carla: He’s firmly against it. But my dad is very persuasive and I feel guilty saying no. Dave: Carla, the answer is no. You have no moral, ethical, or biblical obligation to fund your father’s bad financial habits especially when manipulation is part of how he’s asking. Carla: But he’s 80 and he’s my dad. Dave: Being your dad doesn’t give him the right to your retirement. And “no” is a complete sentence. Don’t give him an encyclopedia of reasons, he’ll debate every one. Be brief, be gentle, and be firm. Carla: What can I offer instead? Dave: Gift him Financial Peace University. Give him the tools to help himself. That’s generous without enabling the pattern.

A) We don’t know how he died. It could have been PE after a long flight B) There’s a 90% chance that Mr Graham had coronary calcium based on age C) There’s exactly zero evidence that intervention on coronary disease absent acute symptoms prevents MI or death. D) Mr Gerstner understands business and I laud him for invest America, but he and many of his colleagues fundamentally misunderstand heart disease

A tragic reminder - get your CAC scan - the mammogram for the heart. Cardiac arrest / heart disease is the #1 killer & largely preventable. $150 & 15 mins to save your life. In honor of Sen. Graham we should immediately cover w insurance & launch a natl ad campaign. 🤍 @DrOz

@disclosetv Why hadn’t Medicare kick him out of the hospital after day 3? Most of us would’ve gotten THAT letter 🙄

💔 “This is raw. This is heartbreaking. This is Alzheimer’s.” That caption doesn’t even scratch the surface of what this video shows. Over the course of one single year (July 2025 → July 2026), we watch a husband, father, and grandfather slowly lose pieces of himself — while his family refuses to let him go. • The spatula in the kitchen. • The confused look at a receipt in the grocery store. • The big, genuine smile at home with the dog. • The beach days where his wife gently holds his arm so he doesn’t drift. • The quiet moments leaning on the railing while loved ones watch over him. This isn’t a movie. This is real life. This is what millions of families are living right now. Alzheimer’s doesn’t just steal memories. It steals independence, dignity, and sometimes even the ability to recognize the people who love you most. Yet in every frame, the love in this family is louder than the disease. If this video broke you a little… good.

@HistorianUSA1 In my 60 years I have never witnessed young Alzheimer’s, nor fast moving in a year. They typically take 20 years to die. This is something different
