A report also found that the cost to the NHS of treating problems relating to loneliness is £7.2billion a year.

There are 1.2 million chronically lonely old aged pensioners in the UK and three-quarters will not admit they are alone and do not want to be a burden.

Ninety per cent of Britons believe that loneliness in old age is “more likely than ever”.  Continue reading “Loneliness is as deadly as smoking 15 cigarettes a day”

President Donald Trump is reportedly gearing up to roll back even the most limited restrictions on U.S. drone operations overseas, further opening the door for the expansion of airstrikes and commando raids into nations like the Philippines and Nigeria and setting the stage for an upsurge in civilian casualties—already at record highs in Afghanistan and soaring in Iraq, Syria, and Yemen.

Zeke Johnson, senior director of programs for Amnesty International USA, told the New York Times in an interview that while Obama-era restrictions on drone strikes “fell far short on human rights protections,” any move to water down drone warfare rules even further would be a “grave mistake.”   Continue reading “‘Blank Check to Kill With Impunity’: Trump to Quietly Scrap Drone Restrictions”

MONTGOMERY, Alabama — For over one hundred years, Alabamians manufactured clothing in Alexander City for a company called Russell. Today you can still buy Russell Athletic gear in “Alex City” but it won’t be made locally.

It will likely be made by workers in Honduras, El Salvador, or China.

In a strange twist of fate, one of the key figures who helped bring about this transfer of jobs out of Alabama is now campaigning for the Senate seat formerly occupied by Jeff Sessions. Even stranger still, his campaign ads promise that he will “Kill Unfair Trade Deals.”   Continue reading “Make Central America Great Again: Luther Strange Lobbied for Trade Deal That Drained Thousands of Alabama Jobs to Honduras, Mexico”

Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) will introduce legislation on Monday to address undocumented immigrants brought into the country as minors after the Trump administration announced they would end an Obama-era immigration program.

Miami-Dade County, FL — At a time when South Floridians rocked by Hurricane Irma were still surveying the damage to their properties, the county of Miami-Dade apparently thought it appropriate to begin handing out safety notices.

Celso Perez told local WSVN-TV that he, his family, and his neighbors were starting to clear fallen trees from the streets after the storm passed through at nine in the morning on Monday. Hours later, in the afternoon, Perez got a visit from the county.   Continue reading “FL Residents Warned They’ll Be Ticketed for Hurricane-Damaged Homes”

WEB Notes: Another red line? Bibi should bring out his bomb board again with the red line on it. Talk about a comedy show. All Bibi is doing is waiting for the United States to respond for him. Israel will not take the lead on any of this. Why? They do not have the ability to fight Iran without the help of the US. I hope you realize the United States provides Israel with $3 billon dollars in aid every single year. They need that assistance from the US or they would cease to exist. What else did Bibi have to say and what does the Bible say?…

WEB Notes: I will buy the part about housing. The housing market is up which is great for home owners. Though on another level unless you sell your home, the increase in value is phantom money. Let us say your home value is $100,000 and due to the rising market is it now $200,000. Unless you sell the home, you have no gain. I know some folks are raising their hand, ‘but you can get a second!’ You sure can and you will also pay interest on it too. Why on earth would someone want to pay interest on the equity they have in their home? A home is not an ATM machine, a home is your dwelling…
