THE DIRTY DETAILS OF POLITICS LATER BUT ONE MAN IN MY TOWN CONTINUES TO OFFER HIS MESSAGE BY STANDING ON STREET CORNERS ALL OVER THE AREA...
"Make America Great Again....Trump 2024"
This man is moving around very slowly on two crutches but he keeps going out to spread his message regularly. God Bless that fellow. I've seen him in other setting like going to the grocery store and so on but in recent months have noticed him carrying out this other task.
Your host home again after crossing the fruited plain.
Your host for Sanity and Sobriety, Peace and Serenity I know what it is to be drunk to be getting a high.
I saw the fruit of legalized marijuana on the ground in Colorado the homeless we see everywhere in a more entrenched way than my hometown.
And show me the addiction I will show you the thieves and Colorado businesses don't take chances.
My wife and I had holds put on our credit cards to cover matters like theft and or vandalism when we visited Colorado.
Lives centered around substances, habits etc. etc. lives of spending, debt and poverty.
No wonder the big spending, debt creating politicians legalize marijuana (cannabis).
New York and Virginia some of the places joining the ranks of Colorado and Missouri in 2024.
The big spending FAKESERVATIVE REPUBLICANS and FAKEGRESSIVE DEMOCRATS got to find a revenue stream, gotta tax you somehow don't they. The New York pot scheme a nine percent state tax with four percent local taxes.
The COVID funny money is over in 2024.
MY OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AS A CURRENTLY SOBER DRUNK HAS TAUGHT ME...
"Addicts are Thieves"
As one of my sponsors told me indeed I stiffed people on money owed them bills etc. among other things.

On my journey across the fruited plain I visited the Dwight Eisenhower Library and Museum in Abilene, Kansas in the Heartland.
Eisenhower reminded us in his farewell speech as President about that:
"Military Industrial Complex"
That MIC very active in relation to Ukraine nowadays.
And since the days of President Eisenhower something else has emerged namely the:
"Medical Industrial Complex"
THE LEGAL ASSAULT BY IDAHO MEDICAL BUSINESS GIANT ST. LUKE'S HOSPITAL ON AMMON BUNDY REMINDS US OF THE PAST WHEN MEDICINE WAS ABOUT INDEPENDENT NON-PROFIT HOSPITALS AND DOCTORS WERE SMALL BUSINESS OWNER-OPERATORS.
The road to high medical costs ("healthcare") began 55 or more years ago first with Medicare in 1965 then Medicaid a few years later.
The federal dime in healthcare drove up usage of healthcare the laws of supply and demand creating the higher cost.
The big $$$$ eventually drew in investors those interested in turning a profit and the road to where we are today began.
Many twists and turns Hillary Clinton in the 1990's pushing the hospitals towards consolidation.
Eventually the medical industry overrun with non-payers forcing then to turn to the politicians for bailouts.
Then Massachusetts Governor Republican Mitt Romney acting in 2006 to require everyone in his state to get medical insurance.
Democrat President Barack Obama carrying it forward with Obamacare.
Obamacare tweaked by Republicans to keep health insurance companies solvent.
Healthcare just keeps sucking the money and recently my father's credit card tapped by the local medical giant without his knowledge even as he deals with his medical issues limiting his mental and physical activities.
My sister had to get involved and get him the written bill with all the details I think like a hundred thousand dollars worth.
Time for the Ammon Bundy Update and here is Bob Dylan to sing it "When You Gonna Wake Up and Strengthen The Things That Remain" right out of the Good Book....
Ammon Bundy reminds me of the values we have lost.
Bundy took a stand with creation of the "People's Rights" network as the COVID tyranny of lockdowns and masks that evolved into vaccine mandates came on us in March of 2020.
Strangely enough in those days Bundy objected to being forced to get the COVID shots but also defended the right of employers to mandate COVID vaccines even mentioning St. Luke's Hospital that Idaho business giant by name.
Now St. Luke's waging unrestricted lawfare against Ammon Bundy and the campaign manager of his 2022 Independent Candidacy for Idaho Governor.
The grandson of that campaign manager Diego Rodriguez, 10-month old Cyrus Anderson, seized by police at a gas station in Meridian, Idaho last year based in part on opinions about his health from people associated with medical conglomerate St. Luke's Hospital.
After the medical conglomerate unleashed its massive legal assault in a civil case that was in essence character assassination of the defendants before a jury the medical business giant getting more than a pound of flesh a 52 million dollar judgement.
New legal action already underway against Ammon Bundy's and others who have possession of Mr. Bundy's home to extract those assets to satisfy the judgement.
In connection with this civil lawsuit and judgement Ammon Bundy arrested a week ago at a football dinner in support of the high school football team of Bundy's son...
X Post (Twitter)-"Ammon was arrested this evening" (Video Embed)
That was then a friend put up the ten thousand dollars needed to get Mr. Bundy released from jail and just yesterday Bundy appealed for support for his son's football team after the disruption of the fundraising dinner involving his arrest...

POLITICS: ANYONE BUT TRUMP SEEMS TO BE THE GAME
This drama regarding the various Republican candidates too numerous to mention does not interest me very much.
I don't care about any of them they are not Trump and often they are very hostile to Trump.
I don't think they offer much hope for this country I would rather support Donald J. Trump over them any day of the week.
DINING OUT WITH NEXTRUSH-MY VACATION FOOD SPOTS
On my trek across the fruited plain a chance to patronize places that are not in York, Pennsylvania places like "Culvers".
My wife and I dropped by one in Kentucky got a burger, fries and drinks we both got root beer for ten bucks a person.
Culvers Website
And I dropped in at a Perkins Restaurant in Iowa got the "Tremendous Twelve" breakfast before COVID inflation 9 dollars and 99 cents now 13 dollars and 39 cents...

BLAST FROM THE PAST: TELEVISION NEWS IN THE 1980'S AS DONE BY KAKE-TV WICHITA
I worked in television news in the late 1980's in a place much like the one shown in this video the technology a little ahead of my situation they used computers like big city newspapers and TV networks did back then.
Paper was still the order of the day in my TV newsroom.
Among other things I still used typewriters at my station punching out scripts onto multicopy carbon paper...
