+1 Not to mention his brilliant handling of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Just genius. Biden was, on the whole, a very good President. |
You might want to take some time this weekend to read a US History book. I'm not claiming Biden is top 10 but second worst ever? I think you might be very off with that one. |
Iowa has high cancer rates. Trump's cuts to CDC and NIH are already hitting the state
https://www.npr.org/sections/shots-health-news/2025/02/28/nx-s1-5312108/trump-budget-cuts-nih-cdc-cancer-iowa second highest cancer rate in the country (I never knew that) From the article: Evenhouse herself is 73 and has had multiple cancers — in the soft tissue near her spine, as well as her thyroid, blood, and left leg. Most of her doctors work in Iowa City — an hour and a half's drive from where she lives in Pella, the small town best known for manufacturing windows that go by the same name. Mahaska Health, on the other hand, is a 25-bed hospital that's in Oskaloosa, relatively close to home. From there, Evenhouse can remotely access doctors from around the state to help her decide her care. Recently, for example, a team determined surgery on her back could be performed locally. "For me to go to Iowa City, my whole day is gone," she says. And often it takes up her husband's day, too, because sometimes Evenhouse cannot drive herself home after treatment. So she appreciates the ability to access nationally renowned specialists in her cancers close to home. "It's really an advantage for me because I can see the experts; I can get their input." But the Iowa Cancer Affiliate Network, which connects Mahaska Health to a group of medical specialists, is funded by federal grants that face immediate, drastic cuts. Article says nothing about votes for Trump or this woman's politics, but for people in rural areas with serious diseases the impact of such programs is huge. |
Conservative women surprised to learn what patriarchy really means for them.

I bet it's pesticides. My mom's friend died of cancer after being exposed to pesticides on the farm growing up. I moved to Iowa and was sick the whole first year. Someone there told me that was "normal" and I'd "get over it" after a year. Wtf!? I moved away fast. |
So only meteorologists employed by the feds know how to predict the weather? |
Every meteorologist you’ve ever seen or heard of is using information from the United States Government. |
MAGA storm chaser is upset Trump is firing so many weather-related federal workers.
From his Facebook post: Reed Timmer Extreme Meteorologist "We have multiple chances for super tornado outbreaks through the middle of March! Now is not the time to carve up the National Weather Service! We at Team Dominator have always been huge supporters of our friends at the NWS. Even I cannot make a forecast without their valuable data and forecast model output. Please contact your representative in support of the NWS. Remember those missed tornado warnings in OK in November due to the office being short staffed? These problems could become more widespread with firings..."

OMG. Yes. The scientists look at data and numbers and turn that data and numbers into the pretty swirls of clouds and colors we see on our screens. The main hurricane center was in Miami with the backup center, if Miami went down, in Maryland. They predict storms and warn people about them. Now, we will not have this info or it will be negatively impacted. In the future, Trump and friends want to make people pay for this info. Soon, we will not have weather info. |
This is just too good not to share.
