Just a quick note - America is paying for painting the "down" side of the wall. The "upside" is not getting painted black. Also .... nighttime comes every twelve hours. The 'too hot' months are about 4-5 months out of the year. We are governed by morons.

"The United States paid nothing for these Shares" is an interesting way of describing "the U.S. released $8.9B in CHIPS funding intended for Intel in exchange for $8.9B in stock." Perhaps Congress could've demanded shares for CHIPS money, but POTUS adding this ad hoc is simply unconstitutional.

· 9s This is something we will see more and more of. The main protections against both arbitrary and systematic violations are not laws, which provide capacious grounds for discretion, but _internal norms and standards_ which have been systematically trashed.

I suspect the John Bolton thing is less likely a show trial than a show investigation. The powers of the FBI/DOJ/prosecutors provide the ability to systematically persecute people for years, ruining their lives and costing them enormous amounts of money in legal fees with little recourse.

Good morning everyone. I was hoping to get an idea I'd there was a need in our area for a homeschooling center. A place were you pick your child's homeschooling programs and a group of adults would over see the work get completed during the day. A chance to get out of the public school system without having to give up a parent working and bring an income. Kinda like a day program. Its still just a thought in my head and so many details to go over but I'd like to see the interest in our town.

This is just exactly like those people who don't want vaccines, but think that maybe a weakened version of a virus that helps you to develop your natural immunity is an absolutely fabulous and innovative idea they've just had.

We used to throw rotten apples at village idiots.

Was the goal of Friday’s F.B.I. raids to get John Bolton to shut up in public, or was it merely a possible ancillary benefit for Trump? “Either way, it represents a direct attack on one of the President’s most informed and unrelenting critics,” @sbg1.bsky.social writes.
