Never mind artificial intelligence -- let's recognize the intelligence of fellow living creatures. "Accounts described elephants selecting particular plants when they seemed unwell, and mothers reportedly giving medicinal plant material to their calves." www.bbc.com/news/article...

A physical security tip I haven’t shared in a while but it’s always relevant, especially for women; Before you get into your car glance through the windows into the back seat. Once you’re in your car, lock the doors immediately. Let it become a habit.

The Regime despises people with disabilities and wants them to disappear. Their latest action is repealing requirements for federal contractors to hire those with disabilities at rates that are similar to those of the U.S. population overall. Oh, and now they’re hiding the data, too.

Don’t get too drunk.  
Don’t drink from an open cup.  
Don’t show too much skin.  
Don’t make them think  
you’re asking for it.

Carry pepper spray.  
Don’t take the shortcut.  
Don’t walk alone.

Text when you leave.  
Text when you get there.  
Text when you get home.

And if something happens:  
*What were you wearing?*  
*How much did you drink?*  
*Why were you alone?*

He’s a good kid.  
He made a mistake.  
He has his whole life ahead of him.

One more chance.

And somehow  
her whole life  
was spent trying to  
prevent it,

while his  
was too important  
to be changed by it.

RFK Jr. alleges that he wants to focus on chronic disease and sideline infectious disease research, but the big dummy doesn’t care about the interplay between the two. A new study estimates that 12% of all cancer cases in 2024 were caused by infections, including H. pylori, HPV, HBV, and EBV.

Sen. Schmitt accused Jack Smith of perjury over a Hawks game. It was apparently the Hawkeyes. His defense: Atlanta was the only NBA or men's college game that night. Benny Johnson's victory post has since been deleted. Watch Katie Britt's face 🤣🤣🤣

Eric Schmitt called Jack Smith a “total dirtbag” and accused him of perjury over a basketball game. His "proof" confused the Atlanta Hawks with the Iowa Hawkeyes. Amy Klobuchar had to put the Feb. 3, 2024 score on the record: Iowa 93, Maryland 85. Senate oversight, folks.

Canadian automakers have developed an EV car that can travel 500+ km on a single charge, shows snow covered lane lines on your windshield on snowy highways, and heatmaps animals on the side of the road so you have a warning about deer and moose at night. This is for us. BRING IT TO MARKET!! 😍❤️🍁
