Bruce Willis.... National Aphasia Association " Aphasia is an impairment of language, affecting the production or comprehension of speech and the ability to read or write. Aphasia is always due to injury to the brain-most commonly from a stroke, particularly in older individuals. But brain injuries resulting in aphasia may also arise from head trauma, from brain tumors, or from infections." I enjoyed a great amount of his movies.

Aphasia is a symptom. It was the first symptom in a young friend of mine who died less than a year later from the glioblastoma that was the cause. The Fifth Element is one of my favorites. I liked Sixth Sense too.

Sad. He was a great entertainer. Been a fan since his "Moonlighting" days. Always seemed to have a great sense of humor; May it see him through the dark days to come.

Do NOT go to Daily Mail for this kind of information. Aphasia is a speech problem. It should not necessarily affect his cognitive abilities unless something more is going on. We have a family member who has aphasia that is due to a hemorrhagic stroke (no clot). He understands language. Can converse socially (not uncommon and recommended). He just has difficulty finding the word(s) he needs. He has been in speech therapy most of the time since his stroke. https://www.nidcd.nih.gov/health/aphasia It is not degenerative or progressive unless he has a special kind of aphasia called “primary progressive aphasia”. I have known one person like this. The condition goes steadily downhill and cannot be helped with speech therapy. Willis may have this condition. Primary progressive aphasia (uh-FAY-zhuh) is a rare nervous system (neurological) syndrome that affects your ability to communicate. People who have it can have trouble expressing their thoughts and understanding or finding words. Symptoms begin gradually, often before age 65, and worsen over time. People with primary progressive aphasia can lose the ability to speak and write and, eventually, to understand written or spoken language. This condition progresses slowly, so you may continue caring for yourself and participating in daily life activities for several years after the disorder's onset. https://www.nidcd.nih.gov/health/aphasia

Bruce Willis has always been enjoyable to watch, whether on television or in films. Just about everything he did was worth watching. How many actors can you say that about? God bless him. Maybe I identify with Bruce because he's my exact contemporary, and my health isn't perfect, either.

God bless him and his family! I was not a Die Hard fan but loved him in Moonlighting, RED and the Sixth Sense. One of the few good guys in Hollywood. My father had aphasia during the last few years of his life. In the beginning he didn’t want anyone to help him find the words he was looking for but by the time he died at age 90, he was dependent on his wife to do that for him.

Dear Bruce: try MCT oil, a natural oil that comes from coconut oil. You can get it on Amazon. Take one tablespoon three times a day. It is an alternative food for your nerve cells, which can become resistant to insulin as you grow older. It is used for infants also. People with Alzheimer's and dementia might find this to be a life changer.

Best wishes for him to deal with this as best as it can be handled. Lots of fun movies in the can, for future use. Getting old is not easy for many. I saw an old shooting buddy, a former chief of detectives in a nearby city, and then chief of police for decades in another town, the other day. He's struggling. He was a big, strong guy, now using a walker and barely can get around, multiple health problems. But, he was still smiling and laughing and we had a nice discussion of the good old days when we were top shooters, fast and young and having fun.

Most unfortunate news....Willis always seemed like a really great guy! I didn't see a lot of his movies, although I was aware of them. I'm wondering if he maybe did a lot of stunts that might have caused some injuries.....also, I suspect Bruce was once quite a partier!

Former President Donald Trump used his latest rally this Saturday in Grand Rapids, Michigan to speak to the Republican Party’s newest constituency: parents.“A Republican Congress must stand up for parental rights,” he bluntly said.Meaning, he continued, that the GOP-led Congress expected to emerge from the midterm elections must prioritize pushing legislation on behalf of the millions of parents throughout the nation who’re concerned about their children being indoctrinated in hateful racial essentialism and radical transgender ideology.“As president, I was proud to issue the world’s first ban on critical race theory. Joe Biden rescinded that order immediately. But when we retake Congress, Republicans must ban critical race theory in our schools,

The Sunday before the Masters is usually a sleepy affair at Augusta National, as the early arrivals check in and a cathedral hush settles over the place one last time before the gates open on Monday.Not this year. Not today. Indeed, if they were allowed, the American press would probably form a cavalcade down Magnolia Lane, checking every courtesy car for confirmation that this year's field really will include Tiger Woods.Every fascinating storyline regarding the 86th edition appears on pause until we know definitively one way or the other.

It’s now common knowledge that the U.S. dollar is in danger of losing its status as the world reserve currency. This is primarily due to two factors, the first being the Federal Reserve’s inflation of the money supply, which drives price inflation. Money inflation destroys the purchasing power of the dollar, acting as a crippling tax on the poor, middle class, and retirees on fixed incomes. But the money inflation also distorts prices, and supply and demand structures and markets. This drives the boom-bust economic bubbles which blow-up into recessions. In addition, the money inflation also funds America’s destructive welfare state (which only incentivizes additional welfare),

Last month, a group of parents in Orlando, Florida, demanded “consequences” against sixth grade science teacher Robert Thollander. His crime? Thollander acknowledged his marriage at school. “He married a man. This alone is not an issue. Sharing the details … with all his 6th grade students is the issue,” the parents wrote in a letter sent to their children’s school board, which was shared with NBC News. “It was not appropriate. Many of these students felt very uncomfortable with the conversations and shared this with their families.” Had Thollander just “said he will be out for a few days because he was getting married, no problem,” the letter continued

In some cases, she even apologized to some of the kiddie-porn perverts for having to follow the statutes, which she called “substantially flawed.” Over and over, the records reveal, Jackson made excuses for the sex fiends’ criminal behavior and cut them slack in defiance of investigators

Disney has vowed to fight for the repeal of the law despite the fact that it reflects the values of parents throughout the state — as well as many of the company’s cast members (which is what Disney calls its employees). But, just as we’ve expected from Florida’s governor, DeSantis isn’t simply rolling over — he’s fighting back.

The Russian Army is retreating all along the northern border of Ukraine. The official Russian version for the retreat is that this is a Five Dimensional Chess move by Grandmaster Vlad, which was part of the plan all along. A more rational view is that the units that attacked on February 24 have been substantially degraded and are being pulled back across the border with Belarus and Russia to rearm and refit, and take on replacements for casualties. As Ukrainian troops advance, they are beginning to uncover evidence of war crimes committed by Russian troops against Ukrainian civilians. A town that has been particularly hard hit is Bucha,
