Absolutely.

A favorite example, although not sure how to spell it: "kroichtz" with the "ch" being gutteral, of course. It means "The sound one's dad makes when he stands up after sitting too long or falling asleep in his chair."

"Jessica Burgess, a Nebraska mother accused of helping her teenage daughter use pills to end her pregnancy, was sentenced on Friday to two years in prison.

Burgess and her daughter, Celeste Burgess, stand accused of working together to end Celeste Burgess’s pregnancy in April 2022."

This is where we are as a nation in 2023. A mother providing her daughter with legally purchased birth control pills was put in prison. The punishments ran concurrent, but the judge decided to make the abortion punishment consecutive, to double the time she'll be in prison.

ROMANIA ESTABLISHES A NO FLY ZONE

Romania is to establish a no fly zone to allow it to shoot down anything approaching its border - including Russian drones.
The border zone will be cleared of aircraft permanently to allow air defences to function without hinderance.  Quite an active approach but what can you expect when Romania has been hit by Russian drones?

It really has reached the point where it feels like he's saying, "No, I'm not corrupt. When you decide a case in their favor because they paid you, that's corrupt. But here, they paid me because I decided a case in their favor. It's as big a difference as the chicken and the egg."

I'm getting multiple reports that the Russian commander of the Black Sea Fleet is one of the people missing after the Ukrainian strike on the Russian HQ.. Fingers crossed.

I'll update you when possible.

I mean, you do you, but I'd rather have the minor inconvenience of breathing through a mask and save myself an illness than take a 1 in 4 chance of having impaired lung function a year later.

“At 1 year of follow-up, 25% of the 349 participants had impaired lung function, including 11%, 22%, and 48% of those with mild, moderate, or severe/critical COVID-19, respectively.”

If you've heard #COVID19 is just like the flu, you were misinformed. Be a bit safer, please.

Clarence Thomas resigns. Menendez resigns. One standard. Corruption is corruption.

An senator doing the right thing?

Katie Britt co-sponsoring bill to end government shutdowns over ‘budgetary political brinksmanship’ - al.com al.com/news/2023/09/katie-brit

“K-911. What’s your emergency?”
“THERE’S A SQUIRREL!”
“Please calm down, sir. Where is it?”
“IN THE TREE ACROSS THE STREET!”
“Have you tried barking at it?”
“YES! DUH!! I’M NOT AN IDIOT!!!”
“Okay, put down the phone and try again now, I’ll stay on the line.”

New legal analysis: Jack Smith invoked the threat of political violence in asking a judge to gag Trump from publicly attacking witnesses, jurors, prosecutors & the judge herself in the J6 case. That raises a First Amendment problem with little precedent.

Heja Sverige! 🇺🇦♥️🇸🇪

The first 10 Swedish Leopard 2 tanks have arrived in Ukraine!

Imagine being a Russian tank driver in a shaking, old T-72 knowing that these modern tanks are coming to hunt you down — not a good feeling.
