just a couple quick comments: i have started listening to Sirius XM Christian channel Gaither's Homecoming that is mostly older southern gospel songs, whenever in my car...also, to quote Meister Eckhart "if the only prayer you say in your life is THANK YOU LORD, that would be enough"...God bless us all on our journeys...
adding Otis Redding "Dock of the Bay" too...
since you mentioned Cab Calloway, many decades ago, I was fortunate to attend a live performance of "Hello Dolly", starring the great Pearl Bailey AND Cab Calloway...and the rest of the cast were black as well...WHAT A SHOW it was!
i think the Veterans should be able to go to ANY dr/hosp of their choice for medical care, turn the VA hospitals into permanent/temporary housing for homeless Veterans as they already have the facilities and can get our homeless vets the mental/emotiona/nutritionall care many need, onsite...then cut the VA budget to minimal expenses for just processing VA benefits cards, etc...this would also help support health communities all across America, who already have medical staff, especially the rural area medical facilities...just my opinion, cut the massive VA overhead/personnel expenses, and help our homeless Veterans.
hypothetically, why even have "women's sports" designations at all, if males/shemales are allowed to "compete" against females...imo, the determination should be XX chromosomes to determine female, and XY chromosomes for male, to determine who can compete in "women's sports"...
