COP on the Hill – Stories from the week of July 12, 2024

Young Republicans are Different:  I attended a Bi-Partisan press conference outside of Congress on Wednesday. Two  Rs and 2 Ds, all combat veterans who spoke of the miracle of magic mushrooms, MDMA, etc making them normal, human beings again.  A female Marine was the emcee. It was gratifying that their unity to help our veterans with this tried and true treatment (the Israelis have been using it for 40 years).

There is still great, institutional resistance which is being overcome in this area.

Note:  I over-stressed myself training earlier in the week and “called in sick” on Thursday.

I will be on another Iowa bicycle trip next two weeks, chatting with 29,000 bikers, as we go from river to river, 420 miles in 7 days…Hopefully, I’ll chat with a lot of folks and not end up being an F O R D….found on roadside dead
