Healthcare is one of the country’s biggest problems. Probably only second to Climate Change and right in front of voter and women suppression. Of course the order will depend on who you talk to. The reason I put healthcare so high is that it is not everyone that dies and is brought back to life like I was. As I see it I have 2 birthdays. One is where I was actually born in 1953 and then the day I was brought back to life Labor Day weekend 4 years ago.

It was the Sunday before Labor Day and my wife and I had had a wonderful day. We had a beautiful morning sail followed by a cookout at home. It was pretty much the perfect day. That evening I knew that something was wrong with me so I told my wife that I thought I should go to the hospital. I had no chest pains, no fever, and no cold sweats. I just knew that something was wrong. Being only 5 minutes from the hospital we got in the car and that is the last thing I remember. The next thing I remember was waking up in the ICU on Tuesday as they were doing a brain evolution on me so see if I was worthwhile operating on. Turns out unbeknownst to me I had a full blown heart attack right there in the car in front of our home. My wife called 911 and got me out of the car and began performing CPR on me. The police were the first ones on the scene and took over the CPR from my wife. After 6 minutes the EMTs got there and got my heart started. I am told that it stopped again on the way to the ER and they had to start in again. I spent 19 days in the ICU because of open heart surgery and some complications. After 14 days in rehab facility I was allowed to come home were my wife and dog and of course other family and friends assisted me on my road to recovery.

I have always wondered if I would have lived if I didn’t have good healthcare insurance. I often wonder how many people have died because they didn’t have healthcare. My younger brother died in his 50s and he had no healthcare. I always wondered if we would have had Universal Healthcare if he would have gotten the proper care early enough that he would be alive today. He lived a life that he would have described as being free, working for no real employer, but in the end is it that freedom that killed him. Is it that need for healthcare that makes so that many of us not really free to move around and do what we truly want to do? To live as freely as my bother did? I would think that Universal Healthcare would give a person more freedom than a gun ever could.

I have had many people tell me that the reason that I did not die was because god was not through with me. Not being the most religious person in the world, in fact some people may call me a downright heathen; I found that a little farfetched. It did make me think about what I was leaving behind when I did finally die. I know I have two great sons and four wonderful grandchildren but have I really made a difference? That is what made me start writing. I had never written anything in my life but I knew that the country was headed in a direction that I didn’t like at all and I had to do something. I came up with the name “I Could Be Wrong” because no one is always right, even me. No matter how hard I try I will make mistakes so I could be wrong. I picked up the book “Blogging For Dummies” and away I went. It will be one year this month that I started my blog. It has taken patience to try and get people to view it. Last November 83 people viewed it and last month over 9700 people viewed it. Hopefully, someday 100,000 people will view it. Now when people tell me that God was not through with me I don’t say anything but I think about my blog. Wouldn’t be funny if I really was being inspired by something other than myself.

Every day I look at the scar on my chest and get reminded how lucky I was. I had great First Responders, great medical care, and a GREAT wife that worked hard so I can still be here and write this. Healthcare should be everyone’s right, the wife, you will have to get on your own. Mines taken.

    (NO MEMBERSHIP FEE TO JOIN ILLUMINATI), I am giving a testimony on how i became rich and
    famous today… i was deeply strangled up by poverty
    and i had no body to help me, and also i searched for
    help from different corners but to no avail… I see
    people around me getting rich but to me i was so
    ashamed of my self so i met a man on my way he was
    very rich and he was a doctor so he told me something
    and i think over it through out the day so the next day
    i looked up and i keep repeating what he said to me.
    ” if you want to get rich quick and be famous” you
    need to cross your heart and do what is in your mind
    so i tried all i could in other for me to do as he said
    so later on i told my fellow friend about this same
    thing then my friend was interested in my suggestions
    so i decided to look in the internet and i found an
    email of an angent Jackson illuminatiriches50085@gmail.com and
    we decided to contact them and fortunately we did as
    them instruct us to do and later, them told us to get some
    requirements and all the rest… so this initiation took
    us just a week and later on the great Illuminati gave
    us $7,000,000.00 to start up our lives…. and now am
    testifying that if in any case you want to join any
    great Illuminati all you need to do is for you to contact
    him on whatsapp +1(409)2993890.

  Dove or hawk? Donald Trump ran for President promising to end “endless wars”, avoid new ones, and put American families first. He cast himself as an outsider who would bring peace – the only candidate who wouldn’t drag America into another conflict. The message worked because let's face it, after so many years in Iraq and Afghanistan, America was tired of war. As a country, we were all tired of War. The country wanted stability, not another generation of men and women sent into danger. But once in office, he governed very differently. He governed like a Hawk, quick to threaten, quick to escalate, and willing to use both bombs and tariffs as weapons. What was missing wasn’t just consistency. It was an honor: the sense of responsibility and restraint that should come with the power to risk other people's sons and daughters. This isn’t about ideology. It's about whether someone who promised peace, but repeatedly chooses confrontation, can still claim to be a “dove”. A core...

  The hidden tax. Tariffs cause a hidden tax that never really goes away. I hope that Americans are tired of being told fairy tales about why everything costs more. Our elected officials point fingers. Corporations blame supply chains. Commentators blame inflation. The truth is much simpler and infuriating: tariffs are a tax on ordinary people, and the pain does not stop when the policy ends. It sticks. It lingers. It rarely delivers what we were promised. This is the mess we are in now because of the tariffs imposed by the current administration. Tariffs are sold as strength, as toughness – a way to punish governments and to bring back manufacturing jobs. That pitch works on conservatives who want control, moderates who want fairness, progressives who want domestic industry, and politicians trying to get elected. It is a message built to unite. The policy itself does the opposite. It drains the wallets of the very people that it claims to protect. Here is how it actually works. ...

  When I was young, I was told that “Sex, Drugs, and Rock n Roll” was going to ruin the country. What I am seeing today is that “Sex, Politicians, and Espionage” is actually what is ruining the country and our democracy. Just think about it. When sex, secrecy, and political power get mixed together, every intelligence service in the world pays attention. The Epstein files aren’t just about a criminal and the rich people that he surrounded himself with. They show how sexual exploitation creates the kind of vulnerabilities foreign governments like Russia dream of. The most uncomfortable part of that truth is that other countries, such as Great Britain, are taking that threat more seriously than we are. Jeffrey Epstein didn’t just commit crimes. He built a system. He targeted vulnerable girls, groomed them, controlled them, and used them to gain access to powerful men. That abuse wasn’t just immoral; it gave him power and leverage. Victims were scared, ashamed, and often silenced. P...
