We Americans should think for a moment about illegal immigration, high gas prices and the inevitable consequences.
Our cities are already experiencing tent cities and a constant homeless population remains an unresolved problem. has become more dangerous. Our gas prices continue to climb and we see government leaders begging other countries for oil.
Yes, they are begging communist countries for oil, but still Americans and many American businesses are suffering because of the extremely high cost of limited gasoline. We in America have more oil than most other countries.
America can supply the entire nation with the oil it needs.
Are there low IQ people in charge of our country? Do they suffer when they fly around the world in their own private jet?
Now, the constant news that we may face a nuclear attack from Russia is making Americans nervous. They may not like the answer when asked if they are having a good day.

thanks for the discussion
I come from a unique perspective.I have worked as an ICU nurse for over 50 years and not only have I cared for others, but I myself have suffered from serious illnesses.Every day at work, medical innovation and how new treatments are saving lives. Then my world changed and I went from being a caregiver to being a patient myself. I faced a cancer diagnosis and battled a heart attack caused by a coronary embolism.
Fortunately, I was able to overcome both prognoses and continue to live a happy and healthy life. I think the focus was on health care policy.
And I recently participated in a discussion with the staff of Rep. Jerry McEnany on exactly this topic. , explained that the focus should have been on reforming the insurance sector. These companies are often responsible for the decline in care. As a nurse, I often see patients and families denied medications and procedures by their healthcare providers. That is incorrect and should be changed.
We thank Congressman Jerry McEnany’s staff for welcoming this discussion and wish him and future Congressmen the leadership in considering insurance reform.

vote to start fresh
Born in 1954, raised in Stockton, retired in 1977 to work in Los Angeles.
When I left there was no doubt Stockton was going to be a gem in the valley.
I retired in 2012 and came back. Frankly, I was pretty disgusted to see that it wasn’t a gem.
From police chiefs to city councils, oversight boards, members of the Stockton Uniform School Board, and many department heads, we were “blessed” with horrific moral failures.
The infighting going on today is reality TV and watching these people operate makes me sick to my stomach. The San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors and his SUSD board are particularly frustrated.
I urge all voters not to vote for incumbents. He will lose a moral and honest person or he will lose two. Babies in bath water don’t care for now. Let’s start fresh.
It doesn’t hurt.
