My thoughts are with the IDF and Mossad officers that came forward to speak to this filmmaker.
Haley Stevens has no sense of fair play and sportmanship.
There are those Democrats that run with the party because they can't cut it as Republicans. It appears Stevens is one of those.
It is best to adopt policies that work and introduce them as a candidate for office if not an incumbent. Ms. Stevens never did that, she went with the money including PACS that backed additional war in the Middle East.
War is what a free country wages when threatened by others or in protection of allies that have their sovereignty at risk. Israel does not have their sovereignty at risk and no sovereign country in the Middle East is a threat to the USA or it's allies. Where Europe has problems outside of it's eastern borders their military is handedly providing protections and guidance to the region.
The Hegseth Department of War is a travesty to national security and carries out joy rides for racists as the cost of the USA Military and the USA taxpayer.
There is no more RNC. There is the PNC; the Plutocratic National Committee.

Quality of care is...
...when you were a child and you became familiar with your pediatrician and growth and development was measured and recorded to detect any lack thereof.
Any treatment ordered by a healthcare professional be it physician, surgeon, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, pharmacist, or physical therapist.
Is when a person takes and tolerates vaccines that are lifesaving events.
Is when a prescription provides the health benefit it is supposed to provide.
It is when an entire PUBLIC HEALTH SYSTEM works to protect all it's citizens from severe illness and death.
It is when health care is affordable and healthcare insurance companies don't try to replace the very physicians and surgeons that can protect human life at any stage of life.
It is when every aspect of American life strives to provide the greatest longevity of vital activity in life.
...Life expectancy (click here) at birth in the U.S. increased 0.6 years from 78.4 years in 2023 to 79.0 years in 2024, its highest-ever level. However, the average life expectancy in comparable countries was 82.7 years, about 3.7 years longer than in the U.S., reflecting a persistently wide difference in life expectancy between the U.S. and comparable countries....Companies like Blue Cross Blue Shield need to concentrate on research to provide longevity such as cures for cancer, prevention and treatment of alcoholism, mental health for a country burdened with chronic violence, AND HAPPINESS. Every American in this country should be happy when they wake to the time they go to sleep. They should be receiving a fair and living wage and health care to provide a body that is capable of feeling happy with longevity.
STOP SENDING UNSOLICITED MAIL and concentrate on subscriber's needs.
Physicians and surgeons are great people. They know what they are doing and they are always happy to be sure their patients are getting quality of care. It is time to return to the basics and provide for our population in a way that makes people happy.
Nurses hired by health care companies that seek to change medication regimes by calling physicians and surgeons to ask ridiculous questions is nothing more than harassment. Nurses have saved lives in this country because they are smart people. They can talk to physicians when a patient has a need that was undetected or when their stability changes, but, they can't diagnose. Nurses can take orders over the telephone from physicians and surgeons, but, those calls should never be because a health care company is soliciting a better quality of life than a physician has ordered. The company is not capable of such tasks.
Health care companies are turning nurses into salespersons.
STOP IT.
end
This is not quality of care.
It is however a huge invasion of privacy that ONLY should be shared with physicians and surgeons.

Quality of care.
I want to entertain the idea of knowing what is quality of care and what isn't.
This is NOT quality of care.Hello?

Americans feel vulnerable.
There is nothing more intimidating than facing a medical diagnosis. It is a complicated process. The diagnosis is made by physicians and surgeons with many years of education and experience. How does that become simple enough for the average person to understand?
It is one thing to be diagnosed and struggle to understand that diagnosis and the treatment that follows, but, it is complicated by healthcare insurance companies with their own ideas of what is important and what is paid for according to a damn contract.
I WAS NEVER A PART OF A DIAGNOSTIC RELATED GROUP.
I mean that.
My medical profile is not the AVERAGE person. It has genetic variables that most people don't have as is the case with a good friend of mine who was once my neighbor. The two of us have this sense of humor in that when a prescription is provided in a diagnosis for our treatment we have to read the fine print. In that fine print is a side effect that happens in only one percent of the population. That one percent is my friend and I.
I mean it. It is no lie.
There is no healthcare extender that can provide the quality of care received by physicians and surgeons familiar with my body. I am not alone. There are many people in that one percent. My friend and I met as neighbors and not in a support group. These issues are more frequent than most people realize.
Every American is as unique as their fingerprints and the idea a contract provides for quality care is nonsense.

The magnificent coverage of the BCBS networks cannot receive enough praise.
However.
The last three to four years have been a reach into using healthcare extenders to enhance their profit margins. The professionals that participate with these insurance companies are first rate and care for everyone they become involved with for treatment. The companies insist all these EXTRA services are voluntary, but, as the use of healthcare extenders have gone forward it is becoming less and less of a voluntary service and more and more an insistence by the company of these services.
To be honest, the services provided by the companies by healthcare extenders are probably nifty for many that don't or can't travel regularly to a doctor's appointment, but, none the less it is still a step down in quality. This TREND cannot be ignored.
Last year BCBS hired a company that would pay the patient/subscriber a 30 DAY FEE if everyday the subscriber would take a picture of the medications they were taking and sent it to the monitor. The monitor was never a licensed individual to my knowledge. There were no credentials presented. There was only simple picture taking and sending by email to a person in contract to the company.
The fee paid by the way was for 30 days on uninterrupted information. If a subscriber missed a day the 30 day cycle would start all over.
What harm is there in that? As a matter of fact it was supposedly a medication compliance issue.
I don't think so.
Medication compliance issues are noted by physicians and their nursing staff when a patient presents with high blood pressure or high blood sugar or low thyroid levels. Compliance with medications is a clinical measurement, and not a picture sent to an unverified contractor that reports back to the company. That capacity of receiving pictures of daily medication is an issue of market knowledge, not compliance.
Compliance is evaluated by licensed professionals, not record keepers.
Daily pictures of medications taken by subscribers also supplies knowledge of not only the medications a subscriber is using, but, also any supplements like vitamins or minerals. There are also herbal supplements subscribers could be using. All this marketing knowledge can be used to enhance advertisements allowed by law to encourage use of this or that.
Subscribers do not need an invasion of privacy. Quite the opposite. Subscribers need their own understanding of their medical needs based on the information provided by physicians. Staff educates the patients, too. As do pharmacists. As does a physical therapist when an order is written for treatment of a patient after some kind of injury. But, for an insurance company to invade that relationship is highly unethical no matter how it is perceived by their subscriber.

Health care insurance companies
It is correct to have a great deal of respect for any healthcare professional regardless of where they fall into the treatment team.
No matter the person an American meets from the treatment team, they are sure to provide incite and education as well as fact gathering so an accurate diagnosis and treatment can be made.
Let's not forget Pharmacists (click here) are licensed healthcare professionals who dispense prescription medications, verify drug interactions, and advise patients on safe and effective medicine use. They are important to providing the last line of information and accurate order processing to improve the health of Americans.By April 13, 2024 the USA lead the world in COVID-19 deaths with a total of 1,219,487.
Ms Kennedy added that COVID-19 is having a devastating effect on the nursing workforce and has brought the world to the brink of a global nursing crisis....
health disparity, and rural populations by(1) gathering and assessing comprehensive data in order for the health care workforce to meet the health care needs of individuals, including research on the supply, demand, distribution, diversity, and skills needs of the health care workforce;
(2) increasing the supply of a qualified health care workforce to improve access to and the delivery of health care services for all individuals;
(3) enhancing health care workforce education and training to improve access to and the delivery of health care services for all individuals; and
What a day.
Sorry to hear about Senator Chris Murphy. I am relieved he is doing well. What a surprise when an unexpected medical emergency occurs, especially for his family. And of all places at his son's soccer game. I hope his son is okay and doesn't take his father's medical condition to heart to believe he was somehow responsible. The young man is not at all responsible.
If anything is responsible it is the current job he holds and the bizarre administration in the White House. Before attending his son's soccer game Senator Murphy was talking about the fact that after the Midterms, Hegseth and Trump were planning an attack on Iran. That was weighing heavily on his mind as the mid-term elections conclude in just a couple of days.
I wish Senator Murphy a good recovery and we look forward to him in the Senate soon. I wish his family solace in difficult medical emergency.
The upside is that Trump cannot interrupt Alaskan elections. The idea he could is simply outside the realm of the Rule of Law. There are four different laws governing elections in this country and the USA Constitution is at the top of the list.
Jeeze, give it a break Donald.
Capitalists and government programs
There is a distinction between Republican leadership and Democratic leadership and it begins and ends with the citizen.
When I look at this predicament those with rental subsidies have I reflect on the real quality of life issues. The elderly receive a cost of living raise annually. It is to help with far more than just housing and is supposed to allow for a quality of life, not just subsistence living. The elderly and handicapped with accept their circumstances and adjust to any adversity because they have no alternative.
Considering the draconian manner the rental increases are being doled out, one has to realize the cost of living raises are absolutely coveted by those in business. They will seek more money, not for the benefit of those assisted by the government, but, for the pure idea of greed, profit, and some kind of damn entitlement.
So, please realize when I put these issues on this blog it is in concern for those that can't or won't speak up for themselves.
What is occurring is not moral. The quality of life of these people are not being addressed by well meaning taxpayers. The only aspect of their lives we, as taxpayers, are protecting is the roof over their heads and not the joy of living. The joy of living is being robbed from them and that is not what was ever intended.
i might point out when there are increases in Pell Grants, the profiteers are scoffing up those monies. Increases in Pell Grants are supposed to benefit the student and not the institutions they are attending. Tuition is what needs to be concentrated on and costs, especially fees, brought under control. Don't get me wrong, I love the higher education in this country, but, builds erected at the cost of higher tuition is feeding the construction industry for political favoritism.
When state and federal governments support citizens into better quality of lives, it has to be enforced both by any justice department that can end exploitation, but, also by legislators that limit the amount of draconian acts taking place by organizations, institutions, and business. At some point in the legislation, quality of life and disposable income has to be addressed to ensure the benefit intended is being received and felt by those intended for it's benefit.
I will address the concern about health care this evening.
Let's get a little serious.
Today begins an official Mexican-American tradition called, "The Day of the Dead." There are many religions that celebrate the death of missing loved ones, this is just one.
The Day of the Dead (el Día de los Muertos) (click here), is a Mexican holiday where families welcome back the souls of their deceased relatives for a brief reunion that includes food, drink and celebration.
A blend of Mesoamerican ritual, European religion and Spanish culture, the holiday is celebrated each year from October 31-November 2. While October 31 is Halloween, November 1-2 is All Souls Day or the Day of the Dead. According to tradition, the gates of heaven are opened at midnight on October 31 and the spirits of children can rejoin their families for 24 hours. The spirits of adults can do the same on November 2....
I am going to talk about housing and health care. To begin, I find the description of the USA healthcare system as "sick care" offensive. It is not sick care. The USA healthcare system is not responsible for keeping people ill and it does not discriminate as to the habits of the patient. Every patient, even if they smoke and drink to excess regularly receives treatment.
But, first some bad housing news. This is not about real estate, it is about the most vulnerable in our country and society. They depend on fair and affordable housing. So, let me get a couple of pictures.
This housing unit has approximately 130 units dedicated to the handicapped and elderly. This building is at least 40 years old and built with monies to rural America by the USDA. It is a subsidized building. It is in disrepair in that it needs new siding. It had a new roof put on about five years or so ago. But, the siding is in a lot of disrepair including holes occupied by wildlife.
Less than two years ago the residents were asked to endure a rental increase of $20.00 for the sole purpose of residing the building. The residing never happened. The people that live in the building do have pride in themselves and their building and it is a bit of a shameful experience for them to have this building in disrepair.
First as to the notices. Every resident was presented with a notice in their monthly newsletter stating changes in the lease to take effect immediately regarding a new bedbug policy. There has never been problems with bedbugs in this building as far as most of the residents can remember and they can remember just fine. The bedbug policy assigns responsibility and financial burden to the residents. If I get a copy of the notice I will post it here. My understanding is most of the residents acknowledged the policy with the office through a signature.
The second notice came as a handbill if you will delivered unofficially delivered by hand to the bottom crack of the door to every resident. It assigned any damage in the apartment to the resident. That means if anyone moves out they will never receive their deposit back because if there are marks on the wall from wheelchairs, etc. the repair cost is that of the resident.
There was a third notice delivered as well earlier in the year listing costs of maintenance services for every need, including the cost of changing lightbulbs. Depending on the type of bulb the costs vary. Mind you these are people that cannot conduct repairs themselves, even changing a lightbulb could be an issue and many live alone is very small apartments.
If I receive copies of these policies I will post them here.
In recent weeks a repairman with scaffolding showed up to fill in the holes in the siding. He first left the job because he did not realize the extent the damage existed and he had quoted a far different price to the administrator. There was no bidding that has been reported.
When this one man business returned to begin filling in the holes with far more cost he also brought boards to replace the hopeless areas. This lone repair man is the answer by the management to replacing the siding. There is no new siding, it is nothing more (I suppose gratefully so to the mostly devout in the building) than repair and replacement as the repairman sees fit.
Who knows who actually has the input to all this, but, the manager ir more than willing to be a part of it.
I will allow this to sink in for awhile and then present an issue regarding healthcare that every American should be concerned about.

Let's have a little fun.
This is a YouTube channel called "Homestead Horsemanship." They raise, train, and show Missouri Foxtroters and Clydesdale horses. JR is a very big personality and he is proud of his life, that of his family, family heritage, and his homestead. They live in the Ozark Mountains and I believe there are devout Christians.
In this video and if you understand the logistics and the honesty of the people there is some evidence of Bigfoot according to JR. There is something they don't discuss and it might be my imagination, but, i sincerely don't think so.
The screen grab above is from the video. This is my personal observation and nothing I was asked to do. There is the fur in the upper right corner. There is something, perhaps a palm in the upper left corner. I believe JR with all my heart, but, I see something else, too.
In the center of the moving picture from the video I see a figure. It is at a distance and out of focus, but, it looks like the trail camera caught something other than what was up close. It walks upright and is fairly tall. There is nothing to say Bigfoot only travels alone. Now, this is deep in the Ozarks where JR's son hunts.
This second image is the area on the video I saw the upright figure.I have one other observation to make and it does add a counter understanding to JR's Bigfoot.
The wildlife camera is said to have been found several times on the ground and intact. Then this video observed something furry touching the tree if not the camera. What if that furry image to the right is a foot and the animal/Bigfoot is climbing up a tree. Would the camera not be knocked to the ground? The upper left cold be the sole of the foot of the animal and I am thinking bear. I first thought it was as wolverine, but, I am uncertain about wolverines in the Ozarks.
But, there is more. The upright figure I am observing (if not my imagination) could be another hunter. I think I see camo that the upright figure is wearing. It could just be the sunlight showing through the trees, but, it appears to me the trail camera could have picked up another hunter that scared the animal up the tree. Now, the conclusive evidence to the climbing animal/Bigfoot is whether there is a nest or claw marks in the bark of the tree. I think JR looked for any nest and didn't find one.
That is my two cents to this observation of a Bigfoot. I wish JR and his family the best and...
...HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Since the DOJ has gone rouge, under what statute is an investigation provided?
Alaska U.S. Attorney Michael Heyman told reporters in Anchorage that the investigation has been ongoing for several months, but recent revelations from The New York Times that Peltola's campaign appeared to be involved in recruiting retired teacher Dan J. Sullivan have resulted in a "significant surge of law enforcement assets to Alaska."...
The motion Monday came in response to the Justice Department’s complaint last week arguing that confusion over a candidate on the ballot with a name similar to that of the incumbent Republican, Senator Dan S. Sullivan, could taint the election result.
In its filing, the state detailed its moves to ensure that voters know the difference between Senator Sullivan and Daniel J. Sullivan, a retired teacher and political novice who Republicans have argued was planted on the ballot by Democrats to siphon votes from the incumbent.
The second Mr. Sullivan has said that he is not trying to trick voters but is simply running as a Republican dissatisfied with the incumbent....

There is no such thing as criminal ballots.
Is this cool or what?
Pope Leo XIV (click here) has requested a mail-in ballot to vote in next week’s U.S. midterm elections, Illinois election officials confirmed Thursday, potentially setting the stage for a historic first vote by a sitting pope in a U.S. election....
October 29, 2026
He may be (click here) the leader of the Catholic Church, but Chicago-born Pope Leo XIV is still a registered voter in Illinois and requested a mail ballot for the midterm elections.
That’s according to the Will County clerk’s office.
“Robert Francis Prevost is on the list of individuals who requested a vote by mail ballot for the upcoming election,” Kim Fladhammer, Will County clerk’s office chief of staff, told the Chicago Sun-Times. The pope, who is registered to a New Lenox address, made the request Oct. 3....
This is an attack. He believes he has control above the law.
There is no basis for his attack on this journalist. Trump thinks there is something wrong because there is something wrong with him.
It is an open threat against this journalist. He is targeting him for ridicule and danger. This is all part of racketeering.
THE THREAT.
It is how gangland operates. They believe they have power and for the most part it is real if they are threatening someone's life as Trump is here. Speaker Pelosi and her spouse were victims of this racketeering. Trump directs his minions by expressions of disrespect, hate, and judgement. His minions, including the DOJ, then go to work to assert power they are not entitled to and are criminal.
The deaths and injuries of Democratic leaders are HATE CRIMES.
When it comes to the DOJ, what is interesting is that when it is found their complaints are unconstitutional the ideology of the Rule of Law Lawyering takes over and no further justice is sought afterward. The number of unconstitutional decisions leveled at this administration shows a clear pattern of corruption and testing the Supreme Court in any willingness to be corrupt to Trump's best end.
The Trump DOJ, regardless of who is Attorney General, is one of the most incompetent bunch of bozos ever to occupy that office. Now, either they are incompetent or they are crooks. My guess is the later. As a matter of fact, the wrong headed DOJ under "What's Her Name," should have been actively reviewed by now. Oh, yeah, Bondi.
It is sad, isn't it? To realize a man who was elected to the highest office of the land had an agenda outside that of the American people and only seeks power and not governance. That is a mental health issue. What is more astounding are the people that surround him seeking their own satiation of greed. That greed is funded by the American people. The power hungry haters that line this presidency is at the cost of the American people. Hegseth's bizarre exploitation of the USA military and the uncontrolled use of our military industrial complex, including stockpiles, is an abomination to civilization as well as a national security threat.
Anyone besides me notice how Musk handles his wives no differently than Putin handles his?
When Musk has control of intelligence satellites he can and will choose winners and losers. No different than NASA's loss of independence in serving the ISS. It should never be allowed. Musk is a direct threat to the national security interests of his country and every other country where he does business.
The IT industry and their leaders are in way over their heads.
October 30, 2026Elon Musk and his business’s role (click here) in a recent dispute over Ukraine’s access to Starlink and its military network is putting a spotlight on the tech mogul’s outsized influence on the international stage.

Greenberg alleges (click here) that money connected to the two UAE-linked transactions benefited President Donald Trump and his crypto business while diverting business from Circle. Circle’s USDC▲$0.9995 competes with World Liberty’s USD1, and the complaint says the alleged arrangement gave World Liberty an unfair advantage.
The first deal involved an investment vehicle backed by a member of the UAE ruling family agreeing to buy 49% of World Liberty for $500 million. The second involved Abu Dhabi-based MGX using USD1 to fund a $2 billion investment in Binance.
