Sad News

Every now and then you wonder about how the world balances itself. The sad news is that a very close friend of mine who was only 39 years old just dropped dead from a ruptured aorta. I worked a lot with this young man and admired is drive and ambition to make things happen in the world of emergency medicine. On the other side of the balance , that same night I got the news about my friend,  I went and I held a baby only 17 hours old in my arms. I guess that's how the balance is kept. One comes, then one goes.

I'm Baaaack

I can't believe the balls on this guy. As reported a few years ago when Richard Blumenthal was running for re-election, he's at it again. Old Dick Blumenthal was at an event today in Connecticut honoring Vietnam veterans that served. Imagine the irony of that, the guy who stated he was in Vietnam, when he never was, was the speaker at this event. He's doing what he does every 4 years, he is on TV four and five times a day, every single day, just so people see his face and hear his name. And then he hopes to get reelected by name recognition. Of course he has enough going for him since he's a Democrat and he's from Connecticut. If Connecticut residents haven't been screwed enough by the Democratic party, they need to smarten up. Governor Lamont ran on a platform of lies, like they always do, and now he's backing off on all his promises. Blumenthal will do the same thing, just like Murphy is doing ,and the rest of his party. Every year people talk about real change. Now is the time to change things in Connecticut.
Vote Republican.

I couldn't resist

Subject:Trump salary

 

On Friday, the Trump administration released their annual report to Congress on White House Office Personnel It includes the name, status, salary and position title of all 377 White House employees.  The report also said that Trump decided not to take a dime of his salary; instead he donated it to an amazing cause.

 

The report also showed that President Trump is far better at saving money. The total annual White House salaries under Trump are $35.8 million vs. $60.9 million under Obama, a savings of $25.1 million. 

 

Here are some other key findings:

 

There are 140 fewer employees on White House staff under Trump than under Obama at this point in their respective presidencies.

 

Thirty-nine fewer staffers are dedicated to The First Lady of the United States (FLOTUS). Currently, there are only five staffers dedicated to Melania Trump vs. forty-four staffers who served Michelle Obama (FY2009).

 

However, it's what the report said Trump did with this salary that has everyone talking.

 

Instead of taking his salary, Trump donated all $400,000 to the Department of the Interior where it will be used for construction and repair needs at military cemeteries! AMAZING! It's so great to have a President who loves our brave military men and women so much!

 

Oh, and where's the media coverage of this? 

That's right, they don't cover anything decent that the President does..

OUT ON MEDICAL LEAVE
