It's a law that I strongly support. That is, the option of remaining anonymous if someone wins a major lottery jackpot. I understand the lotteries want to have some level of transparency in showing there are actually real people...

I will never understand it. Why the democrats simply cannot admit they screwed up? I mean, no one wants to screw up. But it happens. The best thing to do in a situation like that is to own up to it, learn by it, and change...

Jim Bauer It IS a world problem. But that is in part because after Biden reversed the U.S. energy policies Trump laid out that made the U.S. a leading supplier of the world's oil, taking power away from other oil producing countries and OPEC to control the supply—they...

Sometime ago, my nephew and his wife, a Canadian, visited Hong Kong from Canada. My brother invited me to join their lunch at a Chinese restaurant. We've ordered a whole roast chicken. The chicken, complete with head and feet,...

Jim Bauer I am sure it would not have any impact other than it would not LOOK appetizing. I would prefer the head not be on either when I am served a chicken.

Jim Bauer @LindaOHio When no one wins the jackpot the jackpot rolls to the next drawing at a higher amount. Because no one won the $375 million in Tuesday's drawing, the jackpot rolled to $400 million for Friday's drawing.

Jim Bauer @NJChicaa It is not. But we can agree to disagree on that. Health care is about SAVING lives. In fact, that is the tenet of the Hippocratic oath. Killing a baby does not save life. The point is that I think it is good that we are back to letting the PEOPLE...

Jim Bauer Insurance is always the biggest consideration. It would be nice if private health insurance was more affordable. But it is what it is I guess. That's the reason for creating the workarounds. I won't be as lucky as you to have continued coverage.

Jim Bauer I have not yet encountered this problem as I am luckily only on one medication currently. But at some point I am sure I will run into this more. It's the way the insurance is structured which is designed to pay out as little as possible. It really depends on...

Jim Bauer @TheSojourner It IS a little odd to me that the left is back to "health privacy." I thought that should have applied to personal health decisions regarding the vaccine. But there was no privacy regarding that matter. Oh well. It is what it is. Not surprising...

Jim Bauer I don't like the term "health care" when murder is advocated. But at the same time the law is the law, and if that is what New Jersey wants to do and the voters agree with it ultimately, that's what the overturning of Roe v. Wade was all about. It was never...

Jim Bauer @RubyHawk Way too easy. Parents want to be friends with their kids and that's simply not their role. As a result kids are less disciplined and less prepared for real life.
