I worked hard my entire adult life here in Oklahoma. I paid my taxes, raised a family, and contributed to my community. Now, in retirement, I don’t expect handouts. What I do expect is the healthcare I earned through years of work. For me, that comes through Medicare Advantage.

Medicare Advantage is different from the government-run version of Medicare. It gives seniors more choice. It lets us pick plans that cover what we need—things like prescription drugs, dental and vision care, and even a ride to the doctor. These benefits help keep me healthy and independent, and they save money by preventing bigger problems down the road.

President Donald J. Trump on Monday in Jerusalem speaking to the Knesset hailed a “new beginning” for the Middle East as Hamas released all 20 living Israeli hostages from captivity in Gaza. Both Palestinians and Israelis danced in the streets in celebration. It appears, the two year Gaza war is over and true lasting peace possible for the first time in a thousand years.

President Trump announced Wednesday evening that both Israel and Hamas have “signed off on the first Phase of our Peace Plan,” and all hostages will be released “very soon.”

According to The Times of Israel, a peace deal could be signed as early as today. “Sources in ‘the Palestinian resistance’ tell the Hezbollah-affiliated outlet al-Mayadeen that Hamas has agreed to a Gaza ceasefire deal, adding that it will be signed Thursday in Egypt,” the outlet reported on Wednesday.

Most Americans want Democrats to end their disastrous government shutdown, according to a new Harvard CAPS/Harris poll. The survey was conducted online within the United States October 1-2, among 2,413 registered voters.
 
It comes as service members and federal employees are set to miss their next paycheck, critical food assistance for low-income women and children is in dire jeopardy, states are staring down an economic catastrophe, and layoffs could be imminent — all because of Democrats’ sick push to give illegal aliens free health care. Republicans have a “clean” (no strings attached) proposal on the table.
