PSA for snowstorms: Check your furnace vent that blows exhaust out of the house and make sure it doesn’t get blocked with snow. If that happens, it can shut off your furnace and you’ll need a repair person to reset it. Ask me how I know. 😉
P.S. All is well. That happened a few years ago.
Luke knows what to do. Stay warm and safe, everyone!

United States Completes WHO Withdrawal WASHINGTON — January 22, 2026 — The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of State today announced the United States’ completion of its withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO) due to the organization's mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic that arose out of Wuhan, China, its failure to adopt urgently needed reforms, and its inability to demonstrate independence from the inappropriate political influence of WHO member states.Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued a joint statement on the termination of U.S. membership in the WHO.President Trump on January 20, 2025, announced the U.S. plan to leave the WHO. During the yearlong process, the U.S. stopped funding WHO, withdrew all personnel from WHO, and began pivoting activities previously conducted with WHO to direct bilateral engagements with other countries and organizations. With the exit from WHO, the U.S. will be coordinating with WHO solely in a limited fashion to effectuate withdrawal. The WHO delayed declaring a global public health emergency and a pandemic during the early stages of COVID-19, costing the world critical weeks as the virus spread. During that period, WHO leadership echoed and praised China's response despite evidence of early underreporting, suppression of information and delays in confirming human-to-human transmission. The organization also downplayed asymptomatic transmission risks and failed to promptly acknowledge airborne spread.After the pandemic, the WHO did not adopt meaningful reforms to address political influence, governance weaknesses or poor coordination, reinforcing concerns that politics took priority over rapid, independent public health action and eroding global trust. Its report evaluating the possible origins of COVID-19 rejected the possibility that scientists cre…

The fifty dollar kitchen makeover is complete! 1) Decluttering 2) Reorganizing cupboards 3) Replacing original plastic shelf brackets with metal ones 4) Installing magnetic spice rack 5) Adding a matching vinyl kitchen floor mat to help cover the old wooden floor. #kitchenmakeover
The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.
Instant declutter: a set of magnetic shelves on the refrigerator as a space-saving spice rack.
We will never forget what happened on January 6: Insurrectionists attacked our Capitol with the goal of overturning a free and fair election.
Thanks to our heroic Capitol Police, democracy prevailed.
We must keep fighting for our democracy — as we have for nearly 250 years.
