#BookSky 📚#AmReading #EmpireOfPain about the Sackler family. It has the backstory of the building of the family business, involvement in marketing and benzodiazepine addiction prior to the opioid epidemic. It is a slow read, but is definitely refining my perspective.

If you’re going to post this ignorance, then by all means I’ll screenshot it.

I have no time for the recruiter checking on my high school child right now.

Recruiter reached out to meet with my child.

My response, “Honestly, I have had numerous family members in the military, but none of my kids will be checking the Armed Services out while Donald Trump is in office. His disgraceful words and actions towards our military members as well as his middle of the night ramblings about ‘destroying civilizations’ do not inspire confidence in the commander-in-chief. If that changes, then maybe we’d be open to discussions. “

Neither the author nor Kennedy have any training or experience in mental health treatment or therapeutics, nor should they be providing medical advice related to such.

I despise the man, but he is a retired Air Force Colonel.

Before being elected to Congress, Graham compiled a distinguished record in the United States Air Force as he logged six-and-a-half years of service on active duty as an Air Force lawyer. From 1984-1988, he was assigned overseas and served at Rhein-Main Air Force Base in Germany. Upon leaving active duty Air Force in 1989, Graham joined the South Carolina Air National Guard where he served until 1995. During the first Gulf War in the early 90's, Graham was called to active duty and served state-side at McEntire Air National Guard Base as Staff Judge Advocate where he prepared members for deployment to the Gulf region.

In 1995, Graham joined the U.S. Air Force Reserves. During American military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, Graham put his experience in military law to use pulling numerous short-term Reserve duties in both countries over congressional breaks and holidays.

Graham retired from the Air Force Reserves in June 2015 having served his country in uniform for 33 years. He retired at the rank of Colonel.

Toss Gavin for my Governor. He’s not perfect by any means, but has more integrity.

Quality advice.

Two things to make your day better:
1. Do not watch the News. 2. Stay off the bathroom scale. #PiecesOfSoul

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy.

Why does everyone force introverts to leave their comfort zone, but no one forces extroverts to shut up for a while.

Weaponization of the government in plain sight…this should not be on HUD’s homepage. One more disgusting and shameful action by this administration as they try to destroy our healthcare system and price millions out of basic health needs. www.hud.gov#openModal

Illinois can still be beautiful, but has definitely been changed for agriculture. This is a Will County camping sunset. I have Starved Rock, Galena, etc. nature photos that are pretty amazing.
