At the cancer center last Wed.

The Kristi Noem hearing was on the TV, two gentlemen are discussing the proceedings, the Liberal
attacking and making fun of her answers and MAGA guy defending her. No raised voices just polite
conversation between two guys I assumed were good acquaintances. During a commercial the Liberal
asked MAGA if he ever figured out how trickle down economics put money in his pocket? Well he hee
hawed around talking but not really saying anything when I spoke up that I knew how it works in theory.

"Remember Reagan said those getting the tax breaks were the job creators and how do they create jobs?
Our economy is based on supply & demand, more demand requires companies to hire more workers to
keep production flowing. Reagan's plan was quite simple."

"Those getting huge tax breaks were supposed to use that money to buy thousands & thousands of say
new toasters, washers & dryers, bicycles, anything American made in their State and give it away to the
poor and needy. And the guys getting the largest tax breaks in the billions were supposed to buy thousands
and thousands of new cars and give them away to the homeless."

By now everybody but MAGA is laughing but even he had a small grin.

"In reality every huge tax break for the wealthy leaves our Treasury short of money so we have to go
borrow money and guess what? The wealthy loan us back the money we just gave them with interest,
so there's the trickle down Reagan talked about, it trickles down only for the rich."

Health update.......doing my best to stay away from all the terrible news which is hard to do. It's getting
difficult to eat, my jaw and throat hurts 24/7. Dropped down to 198 lbs, now up to 203 lbs which is a good
sign. Doc keeps saying a feeding tube is in my future, hope I can continue swallowing so I don't need one.

Had 2 chemo treatments so far with 5 more scheduled once a week plus radiation Mon thur Fri.
Tired all the time, be glad when I beat this and get back to posting the daily toons.

Remember to mention VOTING RIGHTS at the upcoming No Kings rallies.

Goodbye friends

Had long talk Wednesday afternoon with my primary physician, she believes I have an Anxiety problem
and is the reason I'm still losing weight even though I changed my diet to fating foods. She wants me to
wean myself off of politics and news until I beat my cancer. I'm taking her advice.

Currently the tumor has taken over my entire head below the ears, before breakfast, lunch & supper I need
to take 2 extra strength Tylenol to be able to eat, jaw moving up and down hurts.

Couple things I wish our Party would do.........

1) Offer 10 million dollars to whoever has proof Elon Musk's software stole the 2024 election, believe the
talented computer hackers would start working overtime and if they did find indisputable evidence that the
last election was indeed stolen, all hell would break loose in our favor.

2) Get plans in place to have exit polls in place at every polling location every hour they are open just in
case Musk is up to his old dirty tricks.

3) Start a campaign "Make sure Rs allow you to vote in November"

Now I'll stop worrying about politics since I said that, there's a lot of people I'll miss chatting with every
day and hopefully I'll beat this cancer and get back here.

This is also my official resignation from the MIRT team.

Ornery, before getting upset with something you didn't understand where I was coming from, consider that I was probably teasing or pulling your leg. Apple doesn't fall far from the Ornery Tree.
