LOL. I do not owe you further explanation. I stated my own personal opinion on Spencer's trustworthiness, based on my one unpleasant encounter with him. I did not give my opinion on King Charles, positive or negative. Bye!

I had a single, limited in-person encounter with Charles Spencer, and that experience leads me to discount anything that he says.

Here's what happened to my 16-pound Lakeland Terrier when she tried to chase a bunny. She actually bent the board. Look closely, you can see the firemen's legs on the other side of the fence. Then they liberated her. They said it was the most fun call they'd had in ages.

Darline Graham said that because her own parents died when she was a kid, people today shouldn't expect "government health care." So I dug up the real story of the death of Darline/Lindsey's parents. It makes a strong case FOR government health care. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2148...

The senator’s parents died when she was a kid. That’s tragic. But it’s also tragic that she’s against the kind of care that could help untold numbers of people avoid that fate today.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro says RFK Jr. offered federal help after two unvaccinated people died from measles, the first U.S. deaths this year. Shapiro declined, saying PA could handle it, and confronted Kennedy, telling him: “There’s real life consequences to spreading misinformation.”

Take advice from a pro: Put them on a plate in the fridge. Wait 5 or 6 days until they give off a slight bad smell. Say "Oh, this food is spoiled now, I have to throw it away!" Then do it without guilt.
