Hello, Everyone: Yesterday a friend wrote to me about the stress Dr. Fauci is under, caused by the current administration, his lack of access to Trump, and how many of his TV appearances are being...

The impression I'm getting, all over the country, is that people have basically decided to switch from Shelter-In-Place to the Herd Immunity model, consequences be damned. It's exactly what happened...

5 of those cases were in West County residents. Even though we are opening up (what ever that means) Covid 19 is not letting up . I expect we...

Here's some good common sense written by James Stein, MD, a "Jewish vegetarian cardiologist". After much research, I tracked down the original post to his facebook page here. :waccosun:

No it's not antibodies. The nasal swabs are for the actual virus RNA. A DNA copy is made from the virus RNA. I'm posting this brief article so you will know how it's done. As far as how much virus it...

I am with you. This is why I stopped using Nextdoor, because of all the hateful insults and arguing among neighbors. And we wonder why we are always engaged in endless wars. SMH

I think it would be more to the point, more neutral at least, to have this thread titled

The media, and centrist Democrat talking...

I would guess that a more or less equivalent percentage of the general population are users or abusers of drugs. Each social level has its own particular drugs; some come by way of doctor's...

Wow! That "I can't breath" cartoon is really exceptional.

Please do not vote for Biden. Though not as bad as Trump, especially given both of their inappropriate behavior with women, there are many better male and female candidates than he. Biden does not...

The significant points detailed in this cogent post should be examined in depth. Thank YOU so much for making them.

I disagree - not about the bubble we're in here, but that Trump's a shoo-in. I think Biden would certainly win all the traditional blue states, liberal or not. In that sense he's maybe a safer choice...

Oops, Rossmen; sounds like you drank the Kool aid. I have been working with the 'homeless' situation going to endless planning meetings, etc. At a 'Homeless Summit" some three years ago, projections...

Yes, soil lives. Without it, we two-footeds would not survive. I am glad that Will soon will return. On my organic farm we do not irrigate, since that bloats the berries up with water. We use a huge...

Thanks for the link Barry. I went to Mayor Pete's site and it struck me very much like his interviews. He's a polished speaker but he doesn't actually say much of anything, it's a lot of platitudes....

Nice short list of criteria for eliminating candidates. Thank you for that Emerald. I would add to that anyone who doesn't come to the table with a past history of actions and a proven record of...

So here's the deal, I don't think Warren is the worst of the bunch but her positions on our economic structure, in my opinion, don't go far enough to effectively change the paradigm. While she has...

While I respect your opinion that Pete might be the right person for the job, and I appreciate your thoughtful summation of all his valuable qualities, I'm not reading anything from this that...

Dear Abraham;
I too misunderstood your intention in your original post. Thank you for your clarification, which I do agree with.

YOU are not being alarmist we all need to call the school and let them know this will not be tolerated.

This is already at the school district level. The superintendent and the school district's attorney are running the show. I believe the next level is the state. I'm not going to hold my breath. I...
