I am pissed. If you want change, you talk to smart people who can come up with better solutions. Which is why I ask questions on here When we come up with better solutions , it makes the guy in the WH look bad and hopefully gets people to rethink who they support

Another unvaccinated child has died from the measles in Texas. There are over 600 cases in the US right now. Letting children die to a completely preventable disease is absolute insanity.

I have read LaGrange's statement of defense. Several things jump out at me. First, it is as much a political defence as it is a legal defence.

No AB govt has played a more heavy-handed role in AHS than Danielle Smith’s. They’ve replaced the CEO 5 times, the Board twice, reorganized, decentralized, allegedly messed with contracts. Nobody’s believing Danielle Smith’s fiction that AHS is somehow separate from her. She made sure it wasn’t.
