Lost Twice..

 


Some Democrats are mulling whether the party’s best chance at winning back the White House is to pick a “straight, white Christian man” in 2028 for the top of the ticket.

Having lost twice to Donald Trump with female candidates for president, Democratic strategists have echoed concerns voiced last year by former first lady Michelle Obama: America “is not ready for a woman.”

Behind closed doors, several Democratic strategists have bluntly said some form of, “It has to be a white guy,” according to Axios.

There is a fear — and I actually don't think this is just a grass-tops fear, I think you'd hear it from voters, too — that a woman has now lost twice,” an unnamed Democratic strategist told the outlet. “So not discounting the hundreds of other times men have lost … but is it the right thing to nominate a woman?”

Former first lady Hillary Clinton lost to Trump in the 2016 presidential election, though she won the popular vote, and former Vice President Kamala Harris was defeated by the Republican in 2024.

Loneliness..

 


Loneliness is a distressing, subjective feeling of disconnection or lack of meaningful social companionship, identified as a global public health epidemic. It poses significant physical and mental health risks, including increased risks of heart disease, depression, dementia, and premature death, with a danger comparable to smoking 15 cigarettes daily.
  • Health Impacts
    • Physical: Increased susceptibility to diseases like type 2 diabetes and stroke, as well as a weakened immune system.
    • Mental: Associated with anxiety, depression, dementia, and higher rates of suicidality.
    • Left untended, chronic loneliness is a significant public health issue linked to:
    • Mental Health: Increased risk of depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation.  
    • Physical Health: Higher rates of cardiovascular disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and weakened immune systems.  
    • Brain Health: Accelerated cognitive decline and a nearly doubled risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.

#MonthlyPicks | What Does an Egyptian Immigrant Love about 



Suad Khalil grew up along the Nile River in Asyut, Egypt, but she’s been happily ensconced in Kew Gardens for several decades. The retiree keeps busy by leading exercise classes at The Church-in-the-Gardens and the Kew Gardens Community Center, where she’s also a champion ping pong player.

  نشأت السيدة سعاد حزقيال بسطوروس على ضفاف نهر النيل في أسيوط  بصعيد مصر، غير أنها استقرت بسعادة في منطقة Kew Gardens "كيو غاردنز" منذ عدة عقود.
وتشغل هذه السيدة وقتها بالإشراف على فصول للتمارين الرياضية في كنيسة "Church-in-the-Gardens" وفي مركز Kew Gardens Community Center for mature age "كيو غاردنز" المجتمعي، حيث تُعد أيضاً لاعبةً بارعةً وبطلةً في رياضة تنس الطاولة (البينغ بونغ).
