Why?

Because Israel and the US attacking Iran is red meat to apocalyptacists in an election year.

Given the long term GOP trend toward ever more ignorant and corrupt candidates, and that the American people vote for them, I think we just found our next president.

Have watched my elder siblings become massively unhealthy, acquire type 2 diabetes, suffer heart attacks and macular degeneration. I’ve done cardio my entire life. Well into my 60’s I’m within a few pounds of what I weighed the day I got married 34 years ago (to the day). Cardio works.
