I live in a pretty red part of PA, which swung red this past election. I used to be thankful to live in a blue state. Not sure if PA is still blue but many just didn’t vote or there was cheating or what. I guess the next election cycle, if we get one, will reveal the truth. Our neighbors are all MAGA and are outwardly pleasant and helpful - and I’m grateful for that, but I can’t get over how they vote. I’m not going to rely on their help if Jack booted goons come to take me away.

I highly recommend a supplement with rutin to make the luteolin bio-available. I use Horbaach. 58Sunliner Jan 25 #10
