I attended the Life Surge event in Columbus on Saturday.

What I found were several Ohio State football legends helping funnel financially illiterate Christians into an obvious financial scam.

I'm a medical doctor, but I had to leave the system to tell the truth.

Most of what you’re told about your health is incomplete or completely wrong.

You’re stuck in a system that profits from your symptoms, not your healing.

In my Substack, I write the truth I wasn’t allowed to say inside the system.

If you're exhausted, unwell, and unheard, say hi! 🙌

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

On CNBC today, Elizabeth Warren had to explain to anchor Sara Eisen that Congress can in fact take away Trump's tariffs authority, and also that America is not ruled by a king who can make laws by decree.

“Don’t just mouth off about what you think is happening! Actually present some evidence!”

Love Sen. Warren.

Like to think she was talking to Sara Eisen but I know she is too kind for that.

Just imagine how the public in general thinks government works. That’s how we got here.

David Parrish's avatar

Yes---but the Press is a BIG reason for this--just LISTEN to their arguments!

Carol Bergen's avatar

Unbelievable that this anchor didn’t know that Congress has the power over the purse! And she’s in the media and anchor! Good grief!

Jesus, that bobblehead is so stupid. I guess so many people have no idea how the government works. But if you're gonna go toe to toe with a respected senator, make sure you know a thing or two about the Constitution.

I’m flabbergasted at the ignorance of news anchors. A far cry from Edward R Morrow.

Tom Perhai's avatar

I read ‘flabbergasted’ as ‘flubbergasted’.

We have department store types of news coverage that look great and trendy but that’s all. News is there as filler between the ads. As Don Henley said “I just have to look good, I don’t have to be clear.”

For the reporters and journalists out there who care about the profession, I see you. It’s tough. Keep on truckin’.

Sally Willits's avatar

Yep. I had civics in 9 th grade, English history in 10 th grade and American history in 12 th. You learn especially if you are a committed citizen. Sadly, we are in the cult of Barbies.
