Might have been one of the best periods the Habs have played this year even with no goals. Second period will be huge

If you are outraged because of vaccines, you don't know the history before vaccines, either way, before vaccines, most children died in many families, over 50% of them, this is why over 60-80 yrs ago many families had over 10 children, vaccines saves lives. Diseases come back without herd immunity.
go to a cemetery and see all the baby graves there from before the 1950's and 60's, then hardly any afterwards, that's when people started vaccinating their kids.  If you are unsure, the answer is literally written in stone

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

Trump is fuming on Truth Social 😂
Trump’s Truth social post:

Interest Rates in the United States should be 1%, or less, because we are the Best Credit in the World
-BY FAR. Our Country is BOOMING with new Investment! If we stopped Trading with every country that we have a Deficit with, which is most of them, we would make, at least, 1.5 Trillion Dollars a year.
The word "Deficit" is nothing more than a fancy word for LOSS. We are "carrying" almost every country in the World, and that cannot go on any longer. LOWER THE INTEREST RATES FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND FAST! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Pastor Carl Ruby, of Springfield's Central Christian Church, can state the issue more clearly than 98% of people working in politics today.
"I wish President Trump could hear the mom's wails. The

family wants people to know that this was a suicide and they

want people to know that President Trump, (Stephen) Miller, and Markwayne Mullin's inhumane immigration policies made this happen," Ruby wrote.

Wildfires in Canada are becoming more intense, more expansive, and more frequent, because of climate change. The Trump administration’s attempt to blame Canadian forestry practices is nonsense. That claim is a poor pretext to justify otherwise-impermissible presidential tariffs against Canada.

They want to convince their followers that we are un-American, in the wrong country. But it’s them. THEY are in the wrong country. Their goals, plans, ideology are no less than an insurrection against the Second Founding - the constitutional framework for our country created after the Civil War.
