Eggs are still high at Aldi’s on July 9, 2025.

Dr G @fgirwin.bsky.social · 29/04/2025

Trump’s 100th day and Aldi eggs are getting even more expensive! $5.49 this afternoon! Going to a covered dish church event is getting more expensive especially for retirees!

Did my egg check today while shopping. Looks like I’m still going to be using egg substitutes for my brownies and other things. I thought the new president ran on the platform of reducing grocery prices?

Ever ask what's President Biden done for us? Medicare Part D Insurance for drugs was a Republican initiative. The Inflation Reduction Act limited out-of-pocket costs to $8,000 in 2024 and $2,000 in 2025 saving me thousands this year. I hope President Trump improves it! www.cms.gov/files/docume...

President Biden is commuting the death sentences of 37 of the 40 Federal prisoners on death row to life imprisonment. Capital punishment is often wrong and administered inconsistently. In Romans 12:19 Paul tells us to leave revenge to God. apnews.com/article/bide...

Biden gives life in prison to 37 of 40 federal death row inmates before Trump can resume executions

The move spares the lives of people convicted in killings, including the slayings of police and military officers, people on federal land and those involved in deadly bank robberies or drug deals.

70 years ago when my family was milking cows we quit drinking our own raw milk for safer pasteurized milk. Why am I not surprised that raw milk collected from many herds is unsafe today? It just takes one infected cow's milk to taint the whole batch. Today, I'm skeptical of all cow's milk.

Trump is slipping farther and farther below 50%. He now leads by only 1.6%—and his vote advantage is under 2.5M. One of the narrower victories of the last 100 years of American politics, and any journalist or politico using the term mandate probably needs to retire from their profession immediately.
