Biden Does NOT need a BILL to close the border
He only needs a PEN. Thats all he needed to open it.
Thats all he needed to close it. Thats all Trump needed.
Maybe this is just Proof Trump is better than Biden.

...God, please, I hope so.

Hubby and I had to go through medical exams for our insurance today.  I have, literally, harped on my husband to lose weight, eat better, stop drinking so much coffee, yada, yada, yada...to no avail.  Well, today, the nurse made him realize just what precarious ground he stands on and in fact, asked him, are you okay, do you feel lightheaded, confused, anything at all, after taking his BP 4 times...she was genuinely worried because he tapped out, at his lowest at 189/111...MY GOD, I have been taking his BP for years and telling him, the same thing and gotten nowhere.  She said, I'm not joking, you need to see a doctor immediately, this is not just a suggestion...(which of course means he will NOT qualify for new insurance).

So, within 5 minutes of her leaving, he was actually on the phone.  He has an appointment Monday.  That is saying something when it really does take a crisis comment to actually snap someone's thinking in the right direction.  I told him, look my epiphany came when I got my blood clots, I hope you are willing to do what it takes to end this cycle of poor health.  I was able to stay off meds because I told my doctor point blank, what do I have to do to avoid it and I did exactly what she said.  He has always been the kind to say, well, if they make me take meds, that's it...but then he never follows through.  Gotta hope this time it spoke loud enough that he will listen.

Why are men so dense when it comes to their health?

My husband was like that and 14 years ago he got a bad wake up call even though he had quit smoking in his 30's.  He went through chemo and radiation plus some minor surgery over the years.  Has he changed his ways?  Not really, he still won't go for his free yearly physical or address his bad allergies.  He works like a demon and acts like he's invincible.  He will only take prescription drugs if forced and at least he let's me take his BP which is good. He drags his feet when it comes to check ups for his original traumatic illness .   It's the nature of the beast!  I can only do so much!  Good luck takn!
