Hunterdon County Trump Signs. I pass by two houses with prominent signs. Both in Delaware Twp. One is still proudly

hanging from front porches. The second is fading and crumbling but is still posted.

Several houses in Kingwood that posted Trump signage have removed them.

The most prominent was a BIG "FUCK BIDEN" sign that was on the road about 200 ft. from the entrance of Kingwood Elementary School. Real class. That sign was accompanied by several others that were pro-Trump or anti-Dem. All of those signs are gone.


The Trump signs in Alexandria Twp are no longer posted.


For those out of staters - Hunterdon County is a Repuke stronghold. 2016, they held a truck Trump road rally with about 100 farm and utility trucks driving around the traffic circles. There was no truck rally for the '24 election.

The forthcoming Midterm-Maggot debacle. First, the immigration pogrom was gonna get rave reviews. But the way it was

implemented, plus several I.C.E. murders, now make Miller, Noem and Republicans as popular as slave catchers in 1863 Massachusetts.

Next, we get the economy. Everyone likes paying lower taxes so that should have been a sure win for the Maggots. Then people found out that billionaires pay a lower percentage of taxes than the average slob on the street and some of the largest corporations pay no tax. By the way, and where are Trump's tax returns?

Oh, and don't mention that the price of everything has gone up --- gas, most food items and even Netflix.

Then we get the Iran wa--- sorry, excursion that we just won. The uranium is still in the ground in Iran. The Strait of Hormuz was open before Trump "liberated" it and it has been reopened but with a toll booth like the ones on the New Jersey Turnpike. Oil may begin to flow freely again, but at a higher cost than before because Anal Fistula needed a division from Epstein. We are gonna pay for the toll booth at the gas pumps.

Iran is winning, just by not losing.

But all is not lost. Epstein hasn't been in the papers for a couple'a weeks now.

The best news I heard this morning. White House stenographer, Maggie Haberman has 'splained it all for us.

New, improved medical care. So I go to my bi-an checkup. This time the office has three empty staff chairs.

The nurse who used to do the prelim weigh-in and shit, she's gone. The appointment was for 9:30. I get there at 9:27. The weigh-in and ekg is completed at 9:50 (or so).

"Dr. L will be with you shortly.

10:30, he still hasn't showed up. I walk out into the hall and he is in his room, talking with another physician.

"What's going on? My appointment was for 9:30?"

Him: "I have you down for 10:00."

I show him the appointment card that says 9:30.

"We're busy."

-----------------------------

Last September, same medical group, different building, different physician-specialty. I'm finished with the check-up, waiting for printout of prescriptions....

40 minutes passes when someone notices the light is on in the exam room and they are closing for the day.

"Oh, Dr. must have forgot you were still here.

Small practices are being bought out and consolidated into medical factories.

Fuck the patient. It's about the bottom line.

NJ Special election to replace Sherill. I voted early today.

As of 6:30 there were 537 votes cast.

Factory medicine: Being a doctor ain't like being a doctor use'ta be.

I remember Dr. Dante. He came to your house when you got sick,. He had his black bag and I'd hide under the bed because I didn't need no damn needle. Around '80, he semi-retired to become an anesthesiologist. He retired a few years later.

Then came the walk-in clinics. Not the end of the world. Just not the same. They are still there, but they are being bought out by large medical conglomerates. Our family practice was bought out by a northern N.J. "group." The head practitioner was promised as much time with patients as needed, and whatever. One year into the switch, he began getting write-ups from headquarters that he is spending too much time with patients,

Earlier this month, he announced his retirement, effective Dec. 31st.

My nephrologist. I was with him for over 20 years. He signed up with a different N.J. conglomerate. "This is the physician's Nirvana." He couldn't be happier. August '24, his entire unit was closed and he is no longer with the conglomerate. You need nephrology? Drive 14 miles further. I suspect he retired.

My step-daughter - nurse practitioner. She worked 14 years at a walk-in clinic. Her first month there, she diagnosed a child with a rare, almost fatal disease. She told the mother to take the kid immediately to the E.R. The mother returned the next day, "The ER said you saved her life."

Fortunately, the hire was with profit-share. 18 years later they were bought out by the above-mentioned northern N.J. group. Fortunately, she got over $1m with the takeover. But her job was reduced to intake. No one-on-one with patients. No opportunity to diagnose. She left.

She then worked as a practitioner-manager for a practice that was contracted with a state agency. It seems they lost the contract so she is out of a job.. But not to worry, Right now, she is in Dublin for a 2 week vacation. I suspect she may retire and the medical industry lost a great practitioner.

So much for the new factory medical care.

Welcome, to the machine.

Durango, Denver T.S.A. lines - how bad are the delays? Friend is coming in on Monday. Durango to Denver to Newark.

Denver, Durango airports. TSA delays? My friend is coming in to Newark on Monday.

Going from Durango to connect at Denver. Anyone know how the TSA lines are?

Lock your credit AND debit cards when you are not using them. There were two attempts on my accounts.

The first was yesterday and was on my B.o.A. credit card. The card is locked to the attempt went nowhere. I got emails from B.o.A. saying the purchases were turned down because the card was locked. Then the email told me to unlock the card if I wanted to make the purchase.

The second was today and was on my B.o.A. debit card. Same thing. Locked, so no purchase.


Yes, it's a pain-in-the-ass to unlock and relock the card when you want to use it......

Iranian nuclear threat - this from Lonnie Davis. So Trump decimated the uranium and whatever else the Iranians had.

The stuff is buried under tons of rubble. IF the Iranians decide to dig for the uranium, we would immediately see this by satellite. We would then just bomb the front loaders and shovels.

Me: There was no immediate threat and this war was based on bullshit.
