So glad to hear research is still being funded on this. Awesome! Thank you!

Regarding "claim shark" legislation: I'm a disabled veteran. There are a number of Congressionally-chartered Veteran Service Organizations (VSOs) providing veterans with free benefits assistance. VSOs are VA-trained, operate within strict guidelines, and can access veterans' online benefits records. Claim sharks are not chartered, not trained, and do not have access to records. They use questionable practices to complete claims paperwork, charge fees that easily reach into five figures, and demand the veterans' VA login credentials to monitor benefit changes. Several states have already passed legislation to rein them in. It's about time Congress takes action.

I agree. The way we treat veterans is deplorable. It is past time for congress take action for many, many things other than realigning voting districts.

Hmmm.. I am more interested in what is being shot up my nose than the delivery horse. Only one sentence about that part…” The researchers developed a therapy using microscopic biological “delivery parcels,” called extracellular vesicles, loaded with genetic cargo that targets the inflammation pathways driving brain aging.”

Jeepers, genetic cargo?? I dunno…

I just paid $4.29 for gas. Last month the same station was $2.69. That is a 60% increase that will carry over to all prices. There is no end in sight until our “leadership” decides to accept defeat in Iran.

Who voted for this? Are you happy now?

Surely you jest. Trump would never accept losing. I fear this may become the next Vietnam. Trump vastly overestimated Iran’s ability to fight back.

Trump overestimates his ability to do anything. I think he needs some serious probiotics for his “gut.”

I agree with Melissa.

I also continue to say the Democrats will not admit to their part in how Trump got into office.

Darrell's avatar

You helped make my point. This peak was part of a national surge driven by geopolitical instability following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Trump causes as much instability with a contrived war as does putin with his war.

It’s great if the brain stays young, but how good is it if you are in a decrepit body? Dementia is a terrible disease, but fixing that doesn’t change the frailty that often comes with aging. Shoving a spray up your nose is a quick fix for one problem, but we need to look at the whole person.

Fetterman is a good example of what is wrong in politics. Politicians should work for their constituents and not to line their pockets. Not just a US problem!

And Trump and Iran having a peeing match is disgusting. Let’s start WW3 because of it. I hope someone in the States has the backbone to shut Trump down, but it looks unlikely. He is changing the world and not in a good way.
