No one experiencing an allergic reaction should have to hope someone on board has an Epi-Pen to spare. All flights should just have the life-saving treatment you need. The FAA must reverse course and require epinephrine in every emergency medical kit on every flight. Lives could depend on it.

One shudders to contemplate what 🇨🇦Canada would look like today if piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre had been elected in 2025. He and his grisly henchmen have always favoured the 🇺🇸USA way of life over ours. One can just imagine him lining his KuKluxKonvoy buddies up to welcome Trump across the border. 🍁😳🍁

LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

He never wants disabled in his rooms or in front of a camera. He especially hates disabled veterans b/c he doesn’t want to see that. He thinks disabled, sick & diseased people shouldn’t be allowed in public. He’s fired the disabled veterans working for the govt b/c they shouldn’t be seen at all.

Doctors say that measles can kill young children. A guy who snorts cocaine off toilet seats and drives around with dead bear cubs in his car says they'll be fine as long as they eat enough beef tallow. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.
