BoJo was born in 64 so he was really young in this picture. The kiddie madam is three years older than BoJo.

While sleeping in darkness may seem obvious, research shows that even small amounts of light, such as the glow from your phone screen or a nightlight, can disrupt the body's internal clock, suppress melatonin, and interfere with deep sleep. Over time, this may increase the risk of developing chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, depression, and cardiovascular disease.

This is bad enough but the cover up is equally disturbing.

Dr. Mehmet Oz has zeroed in on the real source of health care bloat: hospital executives enriching themselves under the guise of nonprofit care.

Oz recently urged Americans to review tax filings and publicly "shame" hospital administrators pulling down massive salaries. He's right to sound the alarm.

Most hospitals claim nonprofit status — but their leadership rakes in pay packages in the tens of millions, complete with bonuses, stock perks, and golden parachutes. Those compensation schemes only make sense because the IRS grants nonprofits huge tax breaks. And the standards for maintaining that status? Laughably weak.

As a result, the federal government forfeits tens of billions of dollars annually — revenue that could support real health care reform or reduce the deficit.

Consider Nazareth Hospital in Philadelphia. It belongs to Trinity Health Mid-Atlantic, a large nonprofit chain. Trinity's CEO earns over $1.4 million a year. Yet, Nazareth carries a dismal one-star Medicare rating, charges high prices, and provides very little charity care. Despite funneling more than $160 million annually through its doors, it contributes almost nothing in taxes — while local, state, and federal governments foot the bill for many of its patients.

It's a rigged system: Taxpayers pay, executives profit, and patients suffer.

When T.J. Hoover was declared brain-dead after suffering an overdose in October 2021, the last thing his loved ones thought would happen, happened.

While on the operating table as an organ donor, Hoover was alive.

Donna Rhorer, Hoover's sister, says doctors were attempting to harvest his organs while he was still showing signs of life — like his eyes being open and tracking movement during his honor walk, which is when family says goodbye before organ donation surgery.

"Almost immediately as soon as his honor walk started, his eyes were opened, and they were tracking, looking around at the people that were there," Rhorer said.

Forty-five minutes after he was taken away, a doctor then informed her and the rest of the family that the procedure had been stopped.

"She said, 'I stopped it. He's not ready. He woke up,'" Rhorer said.

But they didn't stop at Hoover.

"HRSA examined 351 cases where organ donation was authorized but not completed, identifying issues. ... Of those, 73 patients showed neurological signs incompatible with organ donation, and 28 may not have been deceased when procurement began," Stuckey explains.

I knew two people in Canada that had pet snakes. They fed them live mice.
