WASHINGTON DC - Raging in a style befitting any third-grade schoolyard bully, Trump made it abundantly clear in a 3AM tweet that neither he nor any of his loyal subjects would deign to obey any US law. At this time, it is unclear what prompted the outburst. Some staff sources…

Trump's latest executive order sabotaging Obamacare and destabilizing healthcare insurance coverage will affect low-income and rural America the most (the people who voted for him).

The day before Christmas, my wife and I visited my stepmother who resides in a nursing home. With its six stories and contemporary design, the facility does not resemble a traditional long-term care home.

My cousin, Joyce Acciaioli Rudge, founder of the Splendor Of Florence organization, sent an email to me overnight with a link to this incredible, small Italian town. One third of its residents are over 100 years old. This Italian Village Has 300 People Over 100 Years Old “Leisurely meals, beautiful scenery, great wine—Italians…
