There's a new study from the Post Washington that found chronic diseases are the greatest threats people between the ages of 35 and 64. Akilah Johnson covering this for the Post and spoke with Northwest News Radio's Frank Lenzi. Akilah, what qualifies first of all as chronic disease. You know chronic illnesses are typically what we think of as chronic disease, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, diseases that persist over years, sometimes decades. And these illnesses even outpace gun violence, opioid overdose, and the COVID -19 pandemic, is that right? Yeah, so we found that you know amongst people ages 35 to 64, chronic illnesses erase twice as many years of life as overdoses, homicides, suicides, and car accidents. How does the United States compare with other wealthy countries when it comes to fighting chronic disease? Not so well. So we have gone from the middle of the pack to the last to when we are comparing ourselves to pure nations in the life expectancy race. Well any reason for that? Why are we dropping like that? You know when you speak to experts, a lot of experts say a lot of it has to do with how we think of health in this country and that we quite often conflate health with medicine and health with health care. And it's different in different parts of the country, is that right? Most of the 35 to 6 year olds who are dying are in what parts of the US? So there is a regionality to this, right? And so you quite often will see people who are living now, because it has changed over the last 40 years, we looked at it 40 over years, people who live in urban areas tend to have better life expectancy and better lifespans and the last 40 years and folks who are living in more rural communities. And so also you will find that state politics plays a large role in who lives and dies and life expectancy and life spans. And so states that tend to have more Republican leaning red state kind of legislatures, they expectancies. That's Akilah Johnson from the Washington Post speaking with Northwest News Radio's Frank Lenzi. tend to have better life COVID vaccine.

Well, there's been no other recent poll nationally. done That was exactly the language that was used in the one I just mentioned, but the one that got closed and also came down within the past week was from the Associated Press. The Associated Press asked the question differently. They asked if he is too old to serve another term. OK, so that's the way they frame questions. the Is he too old to serve another term?

80 Reported Dead As Wildfires Ravage Through The Hawaiian Island Of Maui
"Tragic news out of Hawaii as the number of people missing in the midst of these fires, these wildfires, could be as high as 1 ,000. That is the report that we are getting. Now one woman, a Maui resident, hopes that her grandmother has escaped as she struggles to reach her. We don't know where she is. This is what the woman told NBC Nightly News. This is just very, very tragic. As of about 3 .14 p .m. Eastern Daylight Time, officials have confirmed about 80 deaths as these wildfires ravished through the island of Maui and Maui County Mayor Richard Bison warned the death toll could go up, it could rise. A total of about 2 ,200 buildings and other structures have been destroyed. This is as of Friday while 2 ,170 acres have been burned. So again, the death toll hits 80 as officials say rebuild efforts could top 5 .5 billion, not a million, we're talking billions. Six fires are burning in Maui and the Big Island, but officials say the Lahaina Fire is now 85 % contained. Many of the town's historic landmarks are lost. Hawaii Governor Josh Green said the fires are likely to be the largest natural disaster in the state's history. Of course, Lahaina is the most impacted area of the island. It's located in the western area of Maui. According to the Associated Press, Maui residents returned to their neighborhoods to find block after block of flattened homes and businesses, incinerated telephone poles, and ashy lots where apartment buildings once stood. I don't know what's going on with all these wildfires. We had a tremendous amount of wildfires, you know, I think it was Alaska that impacted the northwest, the region of the country where I live. Just a lot of smoke and just, you know, very dangerous breathing conditions and things like that. I think it's the global warming and I think, you know, when it comes to the environment, the Biden administration, him and his cabinet, they really need to get a grasp on what's going on with these wildfires. What is going on in the environment that is triggering, you know, these wildfires? Now, we know it's been, you know, a heatwave, you know, throughout different parts of the country and anytime there's hot weather and humidity, that means that, you know, it's dry. And of course, those conditions are very favorable for wildfires and they kind of trigger all of that. So we are definitely praying for the citizens of Maui that everything is okay. The loss of life has been tremendous already. Again, the death toll has reached about 80 people. So many buildings and structures have been flattened by these wildfires. Maui, you are definitely in our prayers. You guys have been locked into another edition of Convo Over Cigars on a Saturday. Of course, I'm your host, Derrick Andre Flemming. You guys take care.

Most in U.S. say don't ban race in college admissions but that role should be small: AP-NORC poll
"As the Supreme Court decides the fate of affirmative action a new poll suggests what people in the U.S. think. 63% of adults surveyed in May by The Associated Press on the norc center for public affairs research say that the Supreme Court should not block colleges from considering race or ethnicity in their admission systems, but that factors such as grades and standardized tests should be more important, and there was little divide among political or racial lines. The poll reflects general support for affirmative action, even as the Supreme Court is about to rule on lawsuits challenging admission systems at Harvard and the university of North Carolina.

It really does highlight the terrible tragedy that took place in so many lives by priest who acted to responsibly, but also leaders in the church who did not respond appropriately. Cardinal sewage says he would gladly include the cases on his list of credibly accused clergy if the claims were substantiated. In his first interview, since the report was released, the cardinal expressed surprise that the report contained names he had never heard of. We are genuinely perplexed by the use of the word undisclosed reports because as far as we know and we verified this also with the state's attorney, we have gone ahead and been very careful about making sure that any accusation any allegation of sexual abuse of someone in the church has been reported to the state's attorneys.

I mean honest to goodness people we got an actual terrorist group trying to wipe out a nation and the media is on their side. The media has picked the bad guy in the bad guy are the israelis because they've internalized Anti-western left wing cinnamon about israel. This is absurd and yet this is where we are. This is why you can't believe our major institutions. Is it any wonder so. Many people are willing to believe conspiracy theories these days.
