Comparing Medigap Plan Benefits | Medicare Medicare covers a wide variety of things for oldsters. However, there are gaps which regular Medicare does not cover. What if, the country did expand regular Medicare for all? What if, people could buy into Supplemental Healthcare Insurance to cover the gaps (in regular Medicare) at the same prices […]
Kind of hard not to say something about the Iran situation and Trump. This is purposeful by Trump and his political supporters. He feels empowered. The reports from March 2026 suggest the US is increasingly entangled in its “tar baby” scenario with Iran. Initial and limited military goals have escalated into a difficult-to-exit conflict. Increasing […]
“Shared Legislative Power: The One Rule Congress Must Change” J.P. McJefferson Thoughts Photo by Nick Fewings on Unsplash Congress is widely described as polarized, dysfunctional, and unable to solve the country’s most pressing problems. Those diagnoses are not wrong—but they are incomplete. The deeper issue is not political division. It is structural design—specifically, the internal rules Congress has […]
When I retired, my health insurance became traditional Medicare, what right-wingers call “socialism.” I’d read enough not to be seduced by the candy offered in “Medicare Advantage” plans, the free market plans that were supposed to be superior to traditional Medicare.

The spike in egg prices was due to avian flu, but when it comes to internet memes, nevermind. Which is by way of introduction to saying that […]
Yesterday, Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) called Social Security a ‘forced retirement program’ and said workers’ payroll contributions should be gambled on Wall Street. My senator, Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) proposed adjusting the payroll wage cap so that people making over $400K per year begin paying their fair share — a “win-win.” Let’s take each of these […]
This reads more like another Trump edict to hold-up another country (that makes routers) hostage till they agree with what he wants them to do. I do not believe much has changed with home-used routers. We just got a new one from Cox. I believe our computers block any inquiries from the outside. If he […]
