Research from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health released this week has confirmed what many in the Appalachian coalfields knew to be true: black lung rates are higher than they have been in 50 years. www.npr.org/2026/08/05/n...

Black lung rates in Appalachia are high as the 1970s, with thousands of miners sick

tRump was shunned by NYC society, which he desperately wanted to be in. He has literally bought and paid for each of his wives and they had his spawns!
