Joan Rivers: She Did It Her Way

By: Barbara Morris

Joan rivers — Joan Rivers

Joan Rivers has passed away and I am sad she is gone. I don’t know why I lament her passing because I did not care for her acerbic “humor”. Nevertheless, you had to admire her. She said things that were politically incorrect and often, there was an element of truth in what she said. She had guts, and if there is one thing I appreciate, it’s a gutsy woman who speaks her mind.

Joan was the ultimate mature rock star. She avoided the traditional retirement lifestyle and her reward for doing so was an energetic, exciting, productive second life. At age 81 she was not just an entertainer but a savvy entrepreneur.

As much as she was maligned for all her cosmetic surgery I think many older women would gladly trade their wrinkles, jowls and sagging skin for the way she looked at her age. She certainly understood the power of appearance.

I don’t know what Joan considered as her legacy but this I know for sure: by her example she showed enterprising older women they could live the life they want instead of blindly caving in and doing what is expected by rusty, rigid, tradition.

Thanks, Joan, for your courage, chutzpah, and for being a fearless role model for all older women who want more, and are achieving more than they ever could, stuck in conventional old fogey retirement.

Global Warming Is Frying Our Future And Burning Our Food

We've been warned: there is a global over-population crisis. Too many humans are destroying the environment as a result of just eating and living. Not to worry -- we can burn down more chicken farms and meat processing plants to "protect the environment” People may go hungry but "protecing the environment" is more important than people.

This is where we are going: More than 1 million chickens dead after massive southern Illinois fire. Google the number of chicken farms and meat processing plants recently destroyed by fire. It's mind boggling. There isn't a shortage of chickens and steaks -- yet. Right now we are just paying higher prices for what's available. The Globalists are working zealously to cut the food supply even further. (Read the entire article here.)

OZEMPPIC WARNING

If you are using Ozepic for weight loss and are experiencing serious side effects, perhaps it's time to step back and take a look at what may really be going on in your body. Dr. John Mercola has written a very serious warning to users. He says that Ozempic and similar weight loss drugs have been linked to 162 deaths in the U.S., with adverse reactions increasing by 40% in six months as usage expands. Here's a snapshot:

These medications are associated with serious side effects, including pancreatitis, bowel obstruction and stomach paralysis, with 80% to 90% of users experiencing at least one adverse event
Studies have found a significant link between semaglutide (the active ingredient in Ozempic) and suicidal ideation, particularly in patients also taking antidepressants or antianxiety medications
Emerging reports indicate severe kidney problems in some patients using these weight loss drugs.
