They Gotta Be Kidding!

Apparently RFK, Jr and Kid Rock just made a video highlighting them working out at a gym and then drinking milk in a sauna. They were shirtless, and the workout video is part of the Make America Healthy Again campaign. I’m sure it’s going to inspire a LOT of young people to work out after their, like, normal jobs which take up 8+ hours a day (not including the time spent getting there and back). Not that RFK, Jr or Kid Rock would know about that. Or maybe the video is to inspire us old people, who’ve retired and now can spend our time at the gym. I admit, I have gone to the gym in the past (since I was about 36 or so) and might do so again in the future, because I like working out, at the gym and at home. I will go to the gym hoping against hope I NEVER see RFK, JR or Kid Rock shirtless at the gym… eww.

And, there goes our tax dollars!


Doing the plank with a dog! My kinda exercise even though I don’t do planks anymore, I’m too old! Gotta admit, I’d rather work (have worked) out with any of my dogs than RFK, Jr and Kid Rock. From this article about working out with your dog.

Third Parties

A bit over a month ago Ron Placone (comedian, movie maker, political blogger, writer, used to appear on the Jimmy Dore show, and much more) wrote a substack/blog post about why he was joining the Green Party. It's called 'Why I Chose to Green Enter'.

I found the blog post to be interesting and thought provoking and I think Placone did a very good job of explaining why, even though he's really a 'no party preference' type of voter, joining the Green Party makes sense to him at this point.
