Why do most women live much longer than their male counterparts regardless of geographical location? Women are the leaders when it comes to extreme longevity, with all 10 oldest recorded people being female, while men’s maximum verified lifespans are several years shorter. Globally, the average life expectancy gap between women and men is between 5 and 7 years, though it varies by country.
For example:
In Japan: 87 (women) vs. 81 (men)
In the U.S.: 80 (women) vs. 74 (men)

NO KINGS - NEVER

Nearly 8 million reportedly participated in the No Kings demonstrations. All these folks were at the right place and certainly at the right time. Truth walked straight into power —not socially —and refused to bow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvgZkm1xWPE
These lyrics refer to revolutions, about kings, queens, emperors, and other rulers who fall from high places after revolutions. The French Revolution, the Chinese Revolution, the Russian Revolution, and the British and US Civil Wars. Each revolution overthrew a powerful central government, with a powerful head of state in a violent and bloody fashion (think "heads on a silver plate"). These lyrics are telling their stories from the point of view of the fallen leader, in a very poetic way, but the message is essentially "Oh, who would ever want to be king?" Because revolutions have occurred over and over in history, and they will continue to occur, but such is the story of life and of humanity.

"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right."
~1984, George Orwell
The Republicans are trying to manufacture an image of an irredeemably violent American left. They think voters will forget about January Six by attempting to rewrite history. https://amp.miamiherald.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/article312527…

POOR US

Why is everything getting so expensive? What the hell is going on? Why are there nearly 24 million American millionaires, more than anywhere else on earth? Debt appears to be the singular thread as this nation produces more food, but farmers are going broke with increasing US tariffs. Americans are anxious, overworked, and buried in debt.

The living Israeli hostages held in Gaza have been freed under the first phase of Donald Trump's peace plan, alongside a Palestinian prisoner release. The deal may become a signature achievement of Trump's second term, and it could mark a strategic turning point for the Middle East. In TIME - What Trump’s Gaza Ceasefire Speech Tells Us About Ukraine - The president’s speech at the Knesset provided a preview of the core pillars of Trump's unique leadership style, which serve as both his greatest resource and his biggest liability.

According to NPR reports however, this is similar to Biden's original plan on 5/24. Why did we have to wait until 10/25?

I love education, the truth, and growing people. Love isn’t just about passion or chemistry. It’s about being there. The greatest love stories are told in the quiet ways someone chooses you, every day. The image is with my youngest and oldest grandkids.
