WUZ UP!!!  Well, a whole lot. Let's talk about taxes.  We love our country and Democratic values.  We live in the greatest nation in the WORLD. Don't listen to the downers, who want to increase your taxes, take back your health insurance benefits and give all the rich folks tax breaks, so they can get richer AND, in turn, you get poorer. The working class gets hammered, while our President employs foreign workers on his own properties and his daughter's designer line is produced in China (or so the media has divulged).

 

R-E-S-P-E-C-T!!!!   That’s what we’re talkin’ ‘bout.  We love our country (USA) and it is the GREATEST nation in the world. We don’t need to make it great again;  its greatness was never in question and never lost or diminished. The USA has always been great and shall remain great. Can we make it greater (rhetorical query)?  How do we achieve this goal?

On Thursday night, no one wants to cook and my usual go to is Walmart for the rotisserie chicken. A recent article dumped my beloved garlic butter rotisserie chicken into the processed foods category. I was forced to investigate and here I will share with your my findings. 

In describing the chicken I will begin with the price is right for two boys and two adults. Seductively succulent and savory are my go to words for my late week chicken fix. However the chicken is pre-seasoned in factories and shipped to supermarkets where an employee can put it in the oven for about 30 minutes and out comes a perfect chicken. 

While it is processed, it is an anomaly being one of the healthiest processed meals. And, is even better when the skin is removed.

Most Americans see a long run as the ultimate form of exercise and a long life. But according to a new study, strength training is just as important as aerobic exercise. 

The new study also suggest gym equipment is optional, citing body weight exercises offer the same benefit. Push ups utilize nearly every muscle in the body, making it the ultimate exercise. Just as important as pushing up your body weight is the stretch provided to the biceps and back muscles as you preform push ups. 

Push-ups provide protection to one of the most vulnerable injuries for the human body, the rotator cuff injury. Safeguards are offered to protect the shoulder joint especially in older adults by enforcing and stabilizing muscles that surround the vulnerable joint.

Why Tru??”

Senator Jeff Flake, garnered the world’s attention when he defied the sitting president by saying delaying opposition to the White House is complicit in wrong doing.

In a brave speech on the Senate floor on Tuesday, Sen. Jeff Flack said, “We must never adjust to the present coarseness of our national dialogue with the tone set up at the top.” He attacked Trump’s unusual behavior over the past nine months.  The Arizona Republican blasted the president for his untruthful behavior and lack of decency saying, “We must never regard as normal the regular and casual undermining of our democratic norms and ideals, we must never meekly accept the daily sundering of our country. The personal attacks, the threats against principles, freedoms and institution, the flagrant disregard for truth and decency.”
