    Looking forward to this. ACA promotion has been very creative. Tomorrow on Twitter for #TBT, you can post a picture of yourself or a family member all banged up or otherwise health-challenged and tell why it’s important to #GetCoveredNow. #LifeHappens

      Can enjoy with one son, but not the other. Just as well since we don’t drink much, if at all. Now that’s the real joy of older brothers.

      Yes Indeed! Well, I am past middle age, but I always enjoy having a glass of wine or two with my daughter and my nieces. I’ve actually converted my daughter, a white wine drinker, to drinking good red wines.

    May be another false alarm, but NBC news reporting that Australian PM announced that 2 objects have been found in the Indian Ocean which may be debris from missing plane.

      You mean a plane which disappeared may have just crashed, and not been: abducted by aliens/shot down by Obama/hijacked for ransom/been part of an Illuminati plot?

        I haven’t watched WOF in forever…….. I did start watching Jeopardy the past month b/c of the fella who was pissing Alex Trebec off by always picking the $1000 & $2000 ?’s first…….. the other players had no clue what to do, and Alex was so mad b/c he had to keep digging through his cards to find the clues!!! The young guy was unstoppable and ended up winning $300,000 over that time period.

          I can’t say I have watched either show religiously for the past few weeks. I would have loved to see the guy who was driving Alex crazy - that would have been fantastic!

        Don’t use Tony Abbott as an example of sanity - RWNJ

        We are on a road trip - just walked out of the hotel I’d booked - sigh - and still they will charge us - however - we found another. Just now reading about the plane parts - maybe found.

      March 20, 2025 at 12:28 am

      I’m beginning to think CNN has been taken over by real aliens, LP. What is their motive behind all this idiocy? Are people actually watching their 24/7 coverage, where they repeat everything they don’t know, over and over again? Do viewers eat popcorn during their shows? Instead of Groundhog Day, it’s been Groundhog Month for them.

      I think this is the type of stuff that will eventually drive us all insane. Ha - you can see I’m already 5% there! But not really, because I only see about 10 minutes a day of CNN, just peeking in to see if they’re still talking about it! Overkill was like step one for ’em.

      Okay, I’ll stop.

        This Australian announcement is newsworthy—-watching the press conf.——located 2 sizeable objects, one 24 meters, which I believe is 78 feet long. Lots of other debris seen in area. Sending planes from Australia, New Zealand and U.S. for further surveillance. I’m hoping this turns out to be credible, for the sake of all the families of those on board who have been in misery with no answers.

        • 116 theo67
          March 20, 2025 at 12:52 am

          Indeed - this is the point that CNN completely forgets. There are real families facing a very tragic situation, who don’t need to be exploited for CNN ratings. It’s all very sad.

        • 117 jacquelineoboomer

        I don’t watch CNN but I saw a short video today that was showing some of their 24/7 insanity and it looks and sounds like a totally crazy RWNJ marathon of purely stupid CRAP. And their ratings are going through the roof, so what does that tell you? Unfreakinbelievable.

        • 119 jacquelineoboomer

          Actually, there’s been less PBO bashing since they started the 24/7 round the clock coverage of MH370. So I take it that people don’t care for the PBO bashing - even if it’s been replaced by the crazy!!!

        Little hint, Jacqueline. CNN, Fox, NBC, ABC, CBS, and all the others - ZERO time, ever, from me. ZERO. They are totally irrelevant because so much real information is available on every topic imaginable from so many other sources. And, because we know they have an agenda that bears no allegiance or resemblance to TRUTH.

          Exactly, nath! I’m finally tuning in to CNN - they’re going live (as I believe MSNBC is) - for their stupid ratings. Feel like a rubber-necker just watching. Anderson Cooper is so fatigued from being “up late,” it’s almost comical - were it for not the seriousness of the original issue … finding human beings from the plane … which they’ve long forgotten.

            “….were it for not the seriousness of the original issue … finding human beings from the plane … which they’ve long forgotten.”

            Indeed! Can you imagine the double pain they are inflicting on the people who are missing their loved ones who perished on that plane with all their idiotic speculations? Most of the U.S. media have totally lost it. As far as I am concerned CNN is worse than the tabloids! At least the tabloids don’t pretend to be respectable mainstream news media.

    Absolutely essential that everyone spread the fact that Churkin - Putin’s UN puppet - was called a LIAR, straight to his face, during a UN Security Council meeting …
