New data on the explosion of deaths of despair is shocking. Suicides at highest rate since ‘30s. Drug overdoses skyrocketing & alcohol-related deaths as well. Almost every person I talked to in my travels in rural Missouri this August had lost someone to suicide or drug overdose

From report: “Suicides have not been so common since 1938, and one has to go back to 1910s to find mortality from alcohol-related deaths as high as today’s.” But biggest driver of this crisis? “[A]n unprecedented epidemic of drug overdoses” https://www.jec.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/republicans/analysis/?id=B29A7E54-0E13-4C4D-83AA-6A49105F0F43 …

Life expectancy is actually DECLINING for large portions of the population and whole communities are in crisis. But what are the Democrats talking about? Taking away plastic straws and stopping us from eating burgers. What world are they living in?
Well Denny...
Believe it or not, veteran services do not come out of the military budget, so you are talking apples to oranges. Nearly all of those service are handled by the Human Health and Services, which has zero to do with military budgets.
These are the same people that are in charge of Obamacare, food and drug adminisration, etc, etc... if you believe that veteran benefits are lacking, don't blame it on the pentagon or the military or the wall. Blame it on the same people who fucked up our health insurance.
Oh Joe, you said you would stop.
This Special Needs Teacher said about Creepy Joe.
"“I think that he means well but, you know, he grabbed my hands right away and that was really uncomfortable,” she said. “He was very close and, in my mind, I’m like, this is part of our problem: Not recognizing that you need to ask first, or can I shake your hand? Not just grab your hands and hang onto them.”
“That bothers me,” she added."
What were the Three Socialist Stooges of CHT saying?
"National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said that "information provided by NOAA and the National Hurricane Center to President Trump and the wider public demonstrated that tropical-storm-force winds from Hurricane Dorian could impact Alabama." The advisories in questionwere dated from Wednesday, Aug. 28 to Monday, Sept. 2, the agency said."
Oh well.

Oh, I care. A large reason they die is because they were sent into wars that were badly conceived and carried out, especially Iraq, which was our biggest foreign policy blunder in decades.
Trump Tweets Doctored Clip About Hurricane
President Trump tweeted a doctored CNN clip showing a meteorologist saying Alabama was at risk of getting hit by Hurricane Dorian as he continued to lambast media coverage of his assertion the state was in the path of the storm. The Hill reports.
HE'S A MENTAL CASE.
Aides Worried About Trump’s Mental State
“President Trump’s aides and confidants are growing more and more concerned about his mental state following days of erratic behavior, wild outbursts, and bizarre fixations,” Business Insider reports.
Said one former White House official: “No one knows what to expect from him anymore. His mood changes from one minute to the next based on some headline or tweet, and the next thing you know his entire schedule gets tossed out the window because he’s losing his shit.
“They believe that his frustration is compounded by stress about the 2020 election and the economy’s recent downturn.”
OH, THEY'RE JUST FAKE AIDES.
House Judiciary Prepares Vote On Impeachment Probe
“The House Judiciary Committee is preparing to take its first formal vote to define what Chairman Jerry Nadler calls an ongoing ‘impeachment investigation’ of President Trump,” Politico reports.
“The panel could vote as early as Wednesday on a resolution to spell out the parameters of its investigation. The precise language is still being hammered out inside the committee and with House leaders. A draft of the resolution is expected to be release Monday morning.”
OH DEAR. THIS'LL SEND HIM INTO A TAILSPIN. CALLING WHITE HOUSE PSYCHIATRIST! CALLING WHITE HOUSE PSYCHOLOGIST! CALLING WHITE HOUSE KEEPER OF THE STRAIGHT JACKET!

Socialism is a scare word they've hurled at every advance the people have made. #Socialism is what they called public power, *social security, deposit insurance, & *independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for anything that helps all people.
Anthony Scaramucci, the former White House communications director, also weighed in on Trump's state of mind on Friday.
"I think the president is in severe mental decline, and I'm not saying that now because I'm a political adversary or I disavowed him. I'm saying that objectively just looking at what's going on," Scaramucci said at the Toronto Global Forum.
This isn't the first time questions have been raised about Trump's mental state and his fitness for office. In fact, Trump's mental stability is a regular topic of discussion in the White House.
This was confirmed by the anonymous author of a famous 2018 New York Times op-ed who said Trump's aides routinely ignore or dismiss his orders for the good of the country. Michael Wolff's "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House" and Bob Woodward's "Fear: Trump in the White House" detailed similar instances.
And the former special counsel Robert Mueller also found that Trump's myriad efforts to obstruct the Russia investigation were largely unsuccessful only because his underlings refused to carry out his directives.
One person who was close to Trump's legal team during the Russia investigation told Insider his public statements were "nothing compared to what he's like behind closed doors."
"He's like a bull seeing red," this person added. "There's just no getting through to him, and you can kiss your plans for the day goodbye because you're basically stuck looking after a 4-year-old now."
More fake news.

Another reason I abhor trump and everything he stands for...The rich just kill for fun....like AR's THEY DON"T GIVE A SHIT!!!!!!
The Trump administration announced Friday that it will allow a Michigan trophy hunter to import the remains of a rare black rhinoceros he shot in Africa, the Associated Press reports.
Last year, Chris D. Peyerk, of Shelby Township, applied for a permit required by the Fish and Wildlife Service to import animals protected under the Endangered Species Act, documents reveal. Peyerk, the president of a large construction contracting company, had paid $400,000 to an anti-poaching program to hunt a male, south-western black rhino inside a Namibian national park in May 2018.
Records show that Peyerk hired John J. Jackson III — a Louisiana attorney who advises the Fish and Wildlife Service and was appointed to the International Wildlife Conservation Council last year — to represent him in his effort to get a permit. The latter agency was established under the Federal Advisory Committee Act, at the behest of then-Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, "to increase awareness of the conservation and economic benefits of United States citizens traveling to foreign nations to engage in hunting."
Well Denny I don't know who you are referring to but we donated a lot of supplies and money to Bahamian relief.
Maybe you you should do the same.
The problem now isn't the generosity of Americans. It's the logistics of getting needed supplies to Grand Bahama and Abaco islands. There is still no functioning airport or seaport.
Trumps stupidity is boundless, just like cramps!!!!! Now he wants to abolish Busch era rules that result in substantial reductions of greenhouse gasses!!!!! He says they cost too much!!!! The longest journey starts with the first step and this was a great one that he now wants to junk!!!! And my disgust with the fat old white man grows every day as I hope it does with others!!!!! I recall cramps argument that it was illegal to built CFB's in the US and how dangerous they were!!!! Gee 7 years later there is a robust infrastructure for disposing broken lights and I am not aware of any Hg poisoning in the general public!!!!!

The Trump administration plans to significantly weaken federal rules that would have forced Americans to use much more energy-efficient light bulbs, a move that could contribute to greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming.
The proposed changes would eliminate requirements that effectively meant that most light bulbs sold in the United States — not only the familiar, pear-shaped ones, but several other styles as well — must be either LEDs or fluorescent to meet new efficiency standards.
The rules being weakened, which dated from 2007 and the administration of President George W. Bush and slated to start in the new year, would have all but ended the era of the incandescent bulb invented more than a century ago. Eliminating inefficient bulbs nationwide would save electricity equivalent to the output of at least 25 large power plants, enough to power all homes in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, according to an estimate by the Natural Resources Defense Council.
The Trump administration said the changes would benefit consumers by keeping prices low and eliminating government regulation.

So for the privilege of hunting one male black rhinoceros this man paid $400,000 dollars to a program devoted to preventing whole-sale slaughter of rhinoceros from poachers. Sounds like a pretty good deal.
If you really care about the wholesale slaughter of rhinoceros you would put pressure on Chinese official to prevent the import of rhinoceros horns and horn powder where it is use as an aphrodisiac.
to but we donated a lot of supplies and money to Bahamian relief.
Is that an antidotal story cramps???? BWAAAAAAA You feel special or what???? I've made my contribution and will make more when we return to floiriduh and recycle all our hurricane canned supplies for the effort.....Idiot...As to what I am talking about....the goat fucker lack of understanding of what happened since he minimized the potential for disaster....IOW's didn't give a shit....
his man paid $400,000 dollars to a program devoted to preventing whole-sale slaughter of rhinoceros from poachers. Sounds like a pretty good deal.
He still killed an unarmed rhino for 400K you dumb fuck...If he wanted to do the right thing....that amount donated to the cause would cause me to laud him instead of calling him and you stupid.....Sorry asshole, you support everything trump no matter how despicable....!!!
What a great Day.
Sunny, clear, warm.
Great day for College Football. Rock Chaulk.
"He still killed an unarmed rhino " Mrs. Dopie
That has to be easier then killing the armed ones.
Hey goat fucker....I would advocate hunting rhino's with a bowie knife.....that sure would make it a fair match doncha think you dumb fuck?????? And you trolling that remark is most amusing and a view again on how stupid you really are!!!! BTW....another great day for shoving pickles up you old white stupid ass!!!!!!
He still killed an unarmed rhino for 400K you dumb fuck..
So what you are saying is that the wholesale slaughter of rhinoceros doesn't bother you have as much as one being killed by a rich trophy hunter.
Is it the "rich" that is bugging you. Nothing more than wealth envy? You are such a shallow person.
will make more when we return to floiriduh and recycle all our hurricane canned supplies for the effort..
So basically you are looking at Bahamian relief as an opportunity to get rid of your excess junk.
Figures. You are such a hypocrite.
Every top Socialist Democrat running for President is for slashing US Military Spending.
That's fine; Does this mean.
1. You're willing to cut off our European allies and have them fend for themselves?
2. Withdraw back into pre WWII isolation?
f as an opportunity to get rid of your excess junk.
A box of rocks has you beat cramps.....My hurricane emergency kit which is a couple hundred bucks of non perishable foods which normally goes to the boycotts at the end of the season....Yeah, real junk you dumb fuck and you are such an asshole!!!! I'm sure you have a kit at home doncha.....and you toss it our every year.....BWAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!
So what you are saying is that the wholesale slaughter of rhinoceros doesn't bother you have as much as one being killed by a rich trophy hunter.
BWAAAAAAAAA!!!! Would not bother me a bit if he hunted stupid bigots like you......You missed the point again....Paying for the privilege of killing is just plain wrong....just like poaching is wrong....I don't differentiate the 2, they both involve money!!!!!! Stupid ass!!!
Idon't differentiate the 2, they both involve money!!!!!!
Apparently the African country who authorized the hunt does.
My hurricane emergency kit which is a couple hundred bucks of non perishable foods
So you're just donating a couple of hundred bucks? Cheap bastard.
o you're just donating a couple of hundred bucks?
Sure you dumb fuck whatever you say!!!!! Probably 4x of you paltry sum!!!!! I'm sure with your vast wealth and education, you gave at least 10 bucks to your church which probably wound up in their own pockets!!!!!!! BWAAAAAAAA!!!!! Bet that the only thing the goat fucker gave was to burn a tree for christ!!!! Suggest you take aim at your own brethren as cheap fucks.....Asshole
ardently the African country who authorized the hunt does.
Which only proves your stupidity and their greed.......dumb fuck...
Quite bit more than 10 bucks and over 95% of the money goes to actual relief operations. Unlike the Red Cross where less than 20% of the donations finds it's way to the people who actually need it.
Quite bit more than 10 bucks and over 95% of the money goes to actual relief operations
Link to the disclosure statement cramps.....95% is complete bullshit!!!!!

SPOKANE, Wash --- After several comments from viewers questioning what percentage of donations go toward disaster relief, KREM set out to verify the answer.
To find out, KREM spoke with Ashley Post, the Senior Development Manager for Charity Navigator. Charity Navigator is the nation’s largest independent charity evaluator. The organization rates 8,500 charities. We also checked with Charity Watch, a watchdog organization for charities that looks into how efficiently a charity uses your donations. Finally, we checked with the Better Business Bureau.
“When we break down their 990, which is the tax form that they're filing with the IRS, based on what they've reported we're breaking up that they're spending 90 cents of every dollar on program expenses," Post explained. "So, that's things that are going straight to what they're delivering and about 10 percent on administrative and fundraising expenses.”
Charity Navigator said they found the breakdown of what the Red Cross spends on programs versus administrative costs is proportionate. Therefore, it said the Red Cross meets the requirement for a charity they would recommend.
Charity Navigator has a four-star rating system. It gave the American Red Cross three out of four stars. Three stars means the organization is meeting industry standards. Four stars means the organization is exceeding industry standards.
Charity Navigator recommends three and four star organizations as good ones to donate to. So, the Red Cross is a recommended charity according to Charity Navigator.
not sure why lo iq uses KREM as his goto source on charity spending -
krem.com - Spokane's Leading Local News: Weather, Traffic but NPR did a study and found this:
Report: Red Cross Spent 25 Percent Of Haiti Donations On Internal Expenses
The American Red Cross spent a quarter of the money people donated after the 2010 Haiti earthquake — or almost $125 million — on its own internal expenses, far more than the charity previously had disclosed, according to a report released Thursday by Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley.
This story was reported in partnership between NPR News Investigations and ProPublica, an investigative journalism organization.
The report also says the charity's top officials stonewalled congressional investigators and released incomplete information about its Haiti program to the public. It concludes "there are substantial and fundamental concerns about [the Red Cross] as an organization."
The report follows a nearly yearlong investigation by the Iowa Republican and his staff, launched after coverage by NPR and ProPublica of the Red Cross' Haiti response. The venerated charity raised nearly $500 million after the disaster, more than any other nonprofit, but an ambitious plan to build housing resulted in just six permanent homes, NPR and ProPublica found.
Other findings in Sen. Grassley's report:
The charity insisted to congressional investigators that $70 million spent on "program expenses" included funds to oversee and evaluate its Haiti programs. But Grassley's office found that the charity "is unable to provide any financial evidence that oversight activities in fact occurred."
Red Cross CEO Gail McGovern told Grassley's office the charity "gave [the Government Accountability Office] everything that they asked for" during an earlier review. The report, however, says the organization did not provide everything requested, "contrary to Ms. McGovern's multiple claims that it did."
The Red Cross has kept the charity's own internal investigations and ethics unit "severely undermanned and underfunded," the report says, and the charity "appears to be reluctant to support the very unit that is designed to police wrongdoing within the organization."
…
The Red Cross, including McGovern, repeatedly has told the public that all but 9 percent of donations spent go to humanitarian programs. But Grassley's office found that 25 percent of donations sent to Haiti — or nearly $125 million — were spent on fundraising and management, a contingency fund and the catchall category the Red Cross calls "program expenses."
The Red Cross sent the bulk of the remaining donated money to other nonprofits to do the work on the ground. Those other nonprofits then took their own cuts — as high as 11 percent — for their own expenses.
…
The Red Cross Undercut Its Own Ethics Unit
The Red Cross has about 20,000 employees, but its ethics office — which investigates waste, fraud and abuse — is composed of three people, according to the Grassley report. That is down from roughly 65 staffers after Hurricane Katrina a decade ago, the report says.
https://www.npr.org/2016/06/16/482020436/senators-report-finds-fundamental-concerns-about-red-cross-finances
Seems the Red Cross has been lying all along.
The Red Cross CEO Has Been Serially Misleading About Where Donors’ Dollars Are Going
The American Red Cross regularly touts how responsible it is with donors' money. "We're very proud of the fact that 91 cents of every dollar that's donated goes to our services," Red Cross CEO Gail McGovern said in a speech in Baltimore last year. "That's world class, obviously."
McGovern has often repeated that figure, which has also appeared on the charity's website. "I'm really proud" that overhead expenses are so low, she told a Cleveland audience in June.
The problem with that number: It isn't true.
After inquiries by ProPublica and NPR, the Red Cross removed the statement from its website. The Red Cross said the claim was not "as clear as it could have been, and we are clarifying the language."
The Red Cross declined repeated requests to say the actual percentage of donor dollars going to humanitarian services.
But the charity's own financial statements show that overhead expenses are significantly more than what McGovern and other Red Cross officials have claimed.
In recent years, the Red Cross' fundraising expenses alone have been as high as 26 cents of every donated dollar, nearly three times the nine cents in overhead claimed by McGovern. In the past five years, fundraising expenses have averaged 17 cents per donated dollar.
The Red Cross declined repeated requests to say the actual percentage of donor dollars going to humanitarian services.
But the charity's own financial statements show that overhead expenses are significantly more than what McGovern and other Red Cross officials have claimed.
That pretty much jives with the reporting from pro-public.

Never depend on NPR for reliable reporting.
I tend to agree with you but when even they come to a conclusion (largely based on Senate investigations) I gave it some credence.
Better than from a Leading Local News: Weather, Traffic radio service though I guess that might be better than a junior high continuation school's report.
