The increase of pancreatic cancer over the past 3 years is staggering. I have lost 4 friends in 2 years.
Public health data shows an increase as well, in pancreatic cancer (and others).

My winter boss and long time friend died 6 months ago from it. Odd how he and his wife both came down with cancer right after being vaxxed. Lost a few friends to pancreatic cancer in the past few years. Frightening and horrible disease.

It is terrible way to go and is usually quick. ALS is just as nasty..

I remember that he was retaliated against by having his tax issues released. It seems to me that 2008 was a really sharp turning point for this country. We had the introduction of massive Lawfare waged against Palin, we had Ezra Klein and his “JournOlist” group of over 300 “journalists” who actively campaigned for 0bama, the ACORN shady at best, voter registration. We have to remember when Biden said that he and 0bama had assembled the “most extensive and inclusive voter fraud operation”. He let the cat out of the bag then, but the army of JournOlisters covered for him, and the RNC did nothing.

Its a tangent, but I don't understand why people get so bothered about multiple posts of the same story.

No one is on FR all the time, and posted articles may slip down several pages, and won't be seen. Its not a bad thing if newsworthy items are repeated occasionally. I did not know Joe the Plumber had died, and I certainly wouldn't have known it was posted already, or to look for it - so thanks for posting it.

I agree. The previous post didn’t get a lot of views.

My father was very much a patriot and a gentleman. A three war Marine.

When slick Willy was in office my father wrote him a polite and respectful letter about a policy with which he disagreed. My father had never been audited into his life. He was audited the next three years running.

While most of us may be willing to live and let live, these people will never be willing to peacefully coexist with us. I think they would like to exterminate us in a political sense, and probably in a literal sense.

I believe they do, in a literal sense. There are many articles saying the world population is too high and so on.

I am sorry. That is horrible. It is frightening because it’s simply not survivable.
