Applying this to Donald Trump— 'cause he said it: “We will begin a new era of soaring incomes,” Mr. Trump said at a rally in October. “Skyrocketing wealth. Millions and millions of new jobs and a booming middle class. We are going to boom like we’ve never boomed before.”

Yap. Yap. Yap.

So maybe it's just taking a day or 2 off:

So DEFINITELYT there is a higher probability of having a claim denied than having a claim paid. Thank you, Mr. Wise.

I am on record here many times dealing with the boo birds. Relax.

Yes Trump plays 3-dimensional chess, so he is 5 moves ahead of everyone else. Lao Tzu - Machiavelli all wrapped in one. And Art of the Deal was written by a ghost-writer. Trump just being Trump (TM) And Mr. Trump may not be able to pull this one as many times as Lucy:

And be sure to ask them who is their underwriter and what is their A.M. Best rating. (REDUX As has been 'helpfully' pointed out many times by others))

There are new treatments in the past few years that have been described as “game-changing” for their ability to slow the progression of CKD for years and possibly even decades, Dr. Luciano says. https://www.yalemedicine.org/news/why-is-chronic-kidney-disease-ckd-on-the-rise However it seems -- based upon a reasonable search -- that the only claim to have reversed kidney damage occurred right on this very forum and topic, Whoda thunk

She was the only member of the court appointed by the president to vote against his emergency request to freeze foreign aid. March 6, 2025 Updated 2:59 p.m. ET Justice Amy Coney Barrett is the junior member of the Supreme Court’s conservative supermajority, having served just three full terms. But her vote may be decisive as the justices consider whether and how hard to push back against President Trump’s efforts to reshape American government. <SKIP> But Justice Barrett’s role in the recent cases has given rise to a powerful backlash from former supporters. “Barrett deceived people into thinking she was a reliable constitutionalist,” Mark Levin, a conservative podcaster, said on social media. “The power has gone to her head.” NY Times via https://archive.ph/kfZvm#selection-1241.0-1249.35 NB I was beginning to think Ms. Barrett may end up being Trump's Justice Souter.

And the above post left out this salient advice from JUN 2023: Those insured should also be self insured as a "claim denied" is likely and common.

From the State of the Union transcript: In fact, it has been stated by many that the first month of our presidency — it’s our presidency — is the most successful in the history of our nation. By many. And what makes it even more impressive is that do you know who No. 2 is? George Washington.

Prove it “Believe it or not, government databases list 4.7 million Social Security members from people aged 100 to 109 years old,” Trump said. “And money is being paid to many of them.” https://www.barrons.com/articles/social-security-benefits-trump-fact-check-55319be8 https://www.ssa.gov/oact/progdata/benefits/ra_age202412.html

In addition to the above some are wonks who like reading judge's decision favoring Dellinger against Sec Treasury which starts with the email to Dellinger: On behalf of President Donald J. Trump, I am writing to inform you that your position as Special Counsel of the US Office of Special Counsel is terminated, effective immediately. Thank you for your service[.] Have a nice day.

You guys drink poison then expect Trump to get ill. Enjoy Thailand. Hey with RFK Jr. and his MAHA why should I not expect Trump will claim he's gonna cure cancer. And I am not 'you guys' -- I was on here for almost a year saying that these Trump trials civil and criminal were a big mistake -- as many left-leaning legal scholars did also.

When he cures cancer, I'll let you know.

I used SKYPE for 20+ years even before moving to Thailand. But a NY Times article said that SKYPE has gone from 300 million users in 2016 to 36 million users in 2023. TEAMS has now has 320 million users per the article.

The late former Secretary of State Colin Powell famously said: “You break it, you're going to own it” That has now morphed into: We own it. We can break it.
