Q: I’m starting radiation soon for breast cancer. How can I help keep the treatments from burning my skin?
During radiation treatments for cancer, nearly 8 out of 10 people will develop some form of skin irritation, called “radiation dermatitis”. Radiation often creates redness and warmth...
Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders have been busying their otherwise lazy hands and brains proposing a tax on the wealthiest Americans.
This is patently un-American. Our nation was built on the ingenious inventions, business acumen and outright guts of a handful of people who had...
If “Lunchpail” Joe Biden gets elected as President come November, make no mistake, he will immediately start pandering to the left wingers in the Democrat Party.
1Maybe pandering is just the start. I predict his agenda will be completely co-opted by a California socialist, Speaker of the...
There is a reason bureaucrats hate President Trump. As anyone will tell you, it is a matter of “observing the obvious.”

Q: I think my medicine is upsetting my stomach. Is there anything I do about that?

The Electoral College system is a compromise between the president being elected by Congress or by popular vote. It was established in Article II of the Constitution and amended by the 12th Amendment in 1804.
Most folks know that a congressional district is based on population, but why aren’t...
Question: I always take Tylenol® for fever or headaches because it doesn’t seem to upset my stomach like ibuprofen does. I’ve thought that Tylenol® was safe because my doctor always recommended it for my children. However, my sister-in-law insists that Tylenol® is dangerous. Who’s right, my...
