48. Have you ever crossed 9 time zones in a few days?

Sat Jul 20, 2024, 10:50 AM

Jul 2024

Once, in my twenties!, I crossed only 6. I was exhausted and less coherent for one month. There was nothing physically wrong with me. I was a regular morning stationary bike rider back then too.

Jet lag is a real thing. It can and does linger. Even a younger George Clooney complained about suffering from jet lag once.

What makes you distrust President Biden? He is not the one lying to you. His medical records are public records anyone can review. He has never even purchased stock so as to not be corrupted. He has done nothing to earn anyone’s distrust. I was a Elizabeth Warren supporter in 2020 and even then I knew Joe Biden was an honest and decent man.

Conversely, Mr Trump has never made either his medical records or his taxes public.
