His general point I sort of agree with:  she is 70 and trying to run a schedule beyond the capabilities of a 30 year old.    I don't think that is healthy.   Powell, being older, knows how it sucks to get old and what it does to your body, so  he probably knows how much of a struggle it is. 

 

Sylvester Stallone was asked what was the best part of getting older.  His answer was "nothing".

I don't mind the working herself to death part because I can interpret it to mean she is working really, really hard, and I think it's okay to wonder about her age. But I thought the HD TV comment was tacky as well as thinking there is something going on there...

I thought he sounded sick. Not dying, sick, but like he has a cold, sick. 

 

Updated statement of health...

Haven't read it yet, but I'm going to assume it's not going to be good enough until she releases her entire medical history.

I don't know if they worked. I think the health scare was a concern so it will be interesting to see how people react once she's back and recovered. Hopefully she gets some empathy for it. The overall polling shows a drop although the Quinnipiac poll is about the same as it was the prior week. I think they actually said she gained some with white college educated men. But Nate Silver seems to be going off the deepend today lol.

I watched two news programs and each had Doctors who looked over the results and said that HRC's doctor submitted her test results that they deemed to be quite thorough. Her blood work is very good, she has taken a blood thinner to ward against blodclots after her fall/concussion and medication for hypothyroidism which is a common condition to a fair amount of women, especially those over 55 but Clinton's blood calcium reading indicates that she has a healthy heart and the lowest risk for any future heart issues (her blood calcium level was 0).  The doctor even submitted her Mammogram results as being normal and her brain showed no abnormalities. She is only temporarily taking antibiotics (for the pneumonia that according to scans, indicates a mild case) occasionally takes Claritin for allergies, had one minor procedure to regulate her sinuses and takes B12 as needed.

Frankly, I don't know what more could she submit at this point?

 

Donald Trump, on the other hand, chose to turn to TV yet again. There was no full listing of his bloodwork or what specific tests he has taken but according to audience members from the Doctor Oz show, apparently he takes statins for cholesterol and mentioned the desire to lose 15-20 lbs after Doctor Oz mentioned that Trump is technically obese.

Technically obese?  I think his weight is a lie anyway. No way does he only weight 235 pounds more like 270.

But it begs to answer the question how this Dr. could have said he was the healthiest ever in the history of presidents if he's obese. And apparently it was the same quack who gave him the letter before who did his exam.

The Beltway can barely hide their glee that Trump might win this...especially someone like Cilizza who has hated Hillary for quite a while. They're so in need of a Trump win they're now even trying to make sure the Syrian refugees are pinned on her as some type of negative. Nice to see xenophobia alive and well in the "liberal" Washington Post.

    • Except she never worked there at all and barely even knew where the Chancellor Industries plant was located  In 1980, Kay attempted to install Derek Thurston (her third husband) in a position at Chancellor Industries.  The show introduced a character named George Packard who'd supposedly been running Chancellor since Phillip's demise in 1975.  (George Packard's storyline in 1980 was attempting to keep Derek Thurston from bankrupting the company.)   We didn't hear much of anything about Chancellor Industries for the next twenty-five years.  Then, at that point, we met Eliot Hampton (?) who'd been running the company for decades and had been embezzling from it.  Jill took it upon her herself to oust Eliot Hampton (?) and take control of the company.  That's when Kay became actively involved in the management of the company.  From 1974 till 2004 Kay Chancellor was strictly a hands-off owner.  It was downright absurd that the last ten years of life, she was written as this formidable businesswoman who'd always been involved in Chancellor Industries.  
    • Well, it's going to be something when he finds out the truth.  Agreed.  On that note, I can't until it all comes out. I find Lulu to be ridiculous. 
    • I almost posted this because that was my initial reaction too:  this is weird/cringe, to sing around a piano after such a huge family shattering bomb was dropped.  But I got over that and just enjoyed her voice, the song and the montage we saw as everyone's emotions in the aftermath were pouring out.
    • The Equalizer original series was not a big hit yet it became a movie franchise and got a reboot series. The Equalizer reboot lasted 5 seasons, so one season longer than the original series.

      His social media/IMDb doesn't have his age but from some posts he's made, I'm guessing 1989 is his birth year.
    • Here's the timeline, as I recall it being published. The WGA strike was 5/2–9/27/2023 Annalynne McCord was announced as being hired in December 2023, for a one-year contract https://deadline.com/2024/06/days-of-our-lives-when-to-expect-annalynne-mccord-peacock-1235975806/ RonC's first scripts back from the strike began airing May 31, 2024 (around Konstantine & Maggie's wedding) https://www.tvinsider.com/1137709/days-of-our-lives-writers-return-15000th-episode-storylines/ Her first air date was June 19th 2024. The actress has said she was not told who she would be playing until she started taping. RonC 's replacements were announced July 2024, with his scripts airing through April 2025 Side note: DAYS social media team seems to be playing fast and loose with BTS videos, in terms of how far in advance they film content (e.g. their April Fools' Joke videos were clearly not filmed on 4/1/25), so we shouldn't assume anyone's current status, versus those who were there nine months ago.
    • April and her husband (Draper) are the "young leads" who tie all the storyline threads together.  They're normally in the center of the action.  In this particular storyline, Draper is the attorney who represents Paige Madison.  (The district attorney, Logan Swift, has given Paige Madison "temporary immunity from prosecution" if she will lead the police to the members of the Tobias Gang who stole the firearms.  But Paige mainly just ducks bullets from various gang members who pop-up to assassinate her.)    
    • It's one thing to post about a soap's rumors or gossip, which in point of fact we've all done. It's another to present yourself as the inside source who knows something to be fact that's about to break wide, then backtrack and call it just Twitter speculation. Between those two extreme poles you have to commit to one or the other. If I got something wrong, I'd say it. (Nor would I keep playing insider after what I pulled with Drake Hogestyn, which should've gotten someone permanently banned.) And regardless, you don't open with this 'news' you don't actually want to stand by yet by mocking DRW's extremely valid concerns re: how the Trina character and Tabyana Ali has been marginalized and put out to virtual pasture ever since the day NAC left. Her playing out her current contract in a C-storyline with Kai does not change that.
    • Yeah, I thought it would be more explosive or heated and it was kind of standard.  Both can do more with the material.  I just don't think the writing was there.
