— My doctor's refusal to prescribe "just-in-case" Paxlovid speaks volumesSimborg is a retired physician and a medical informatics expert. I'm an 83-year-old retired physician. I let my medical license expire over a decade ago and have put my medical care into the hands of very capable people paid for by Medicare -- just like most people my age. Generally, I have been happy with this arrangement and enjoy good health. From this perspective, I can observe our healthcare system just like any other U.S. citizen. I would like to share one important observation at this time: we are now sleep-walking...

Before Israel launched its attack on Hamas terrorists in response to their barbaric, murderous acts, I put out a call to pray for the people of Gaza, knowing that many innocent civilians would lose their lives.

Republican infighting in the House of Representatives since the ouster of Speaker Kevin McCarthy two weeks ago isn't so much creating dysfunction as it is exposing dysfunction. Over the past 10 months, strange coalitions have been built and dispersed, candidates have risen and fallen, and private animosities have burst into public view. While the D.C. legacy media press has proven itself incapable of explaining any of the above (see: its description for the "hard right coalition" of Reps. Matt Gaetz, Nancy Mace and Ken Buck), the squabbling has clarified just how cracked up the Republican Party truly is.

Outrage stemming from high-profile burglaries, robberies and attacks has prompted West Hollywood to rehire deputies — despite crime dropping. "We have criminals coming in from other cities, bringing weapons so it's important we have armed personnel to address those issues," said longtime West Hollywood resident Ethan Reynolds. Last year, the City Council decided to cut the number of deputies operating in the area and instead opted to hire more unarmed security to provide a more visible presence. "I don't see a role or purpose for the Block-by-Block ambassadors," said Reynolds. However, the city's Mayor Pro Tempore John Erickson said crime...
