In my opinion... the last words in the Bible should be "To Be Continued..."
Jesus will come again.
Looks like imagination at work.
It's like looking at clouds and finding human faces and animals in the cloud shapes. You'll see shapes that look familiar, and then your mind tries to make sense of the shape. .
In this case, these just look like taxable income ranges.
It's a BROAD statement to say "the US may not defend European countries if they are attacked".
That's not entirely true. It depends on the reason for the attack, by whom and which European nation we're talking about at the time.
For example... if Spain were being attacked by virtually anyone for any reason... that's fine with us. Same for Portugal.
If Finland attacks Russia... then we'll watch with interest what happens.
If Belgium is attacked, we'll probably support whoever is doing the attacking.
I know many people who took the first two Covid shots. I also know a few who took the subsequent "booster" Covid shots.
I only know a small few (maybe 3 or 4 at most) that won't admit that taking the shots was a major mistake that they regret to this day. The rest are embarrassed about having taken a scam "vax" shot and are worried about their future health now.
For anon consideration... this may well explain the Ukraine / Russia war and why the EU nations are willing to risk their entire futures on the outcome.
When U.S. grain production declines due to the depletion of the Ogallala Aquifer, global grain production is expected to shift primarily to Brazil, Argentina, Russia, and Ukraine.
About half of all agricultural land in Ukraine belongs to three large American companies; Cargill, Dupont and Monsanto. These firms have bought almost 42 Million acres of Ukrainian agricultural land out of Kyiv's 99 Million acres. That's larger than the size of Greece and the Netherlands together.
Russia exports about 50 to 55 Million tonnes of grain annually. Ukraine has some of the richest farmland in the world for grain production and they have the water resources needed. The Black Sea region is critical for global wheat supplies.
Midwest grain production, particularly water-intensive corn, will decline dramatically over the next 20 years as aquifer is depleted and water resources become unavailable. He who controls the FOOD PRODUCTION controls the world.
That would explain the EU being so intent on Ukraine in it's war against Russia. There is plenty of agricultural land available, especially due to Ukraine's recent "depopulation"... for the EU to control... and whoever owns Ukraine (in reality if not in name) controls the food.
Without control of some resource, the EU becomes increasingly irrelevant.
There is no freshwater resource deeper than the Ogallala for farmers in the High Plains region.
California’s Central Valley has deeper aquifers. Some of the coastal regions of Texas have deeper aquifers. The Ogallala is the deepest available freshwater source in the Great Plains. Once its depleted, there are no deeper reserves to drill into.
Nearly 70% of TDCJ facilities do not have universal air conditioning. During the summer months, in-prison temperatures regularly exceed 100 degrees, causing hundreds of heat-related illnesses and raising mortality rates.
I know the prisons in Southeast Texas near Houston don't have air conditioning.
I have full respect for Bulgaria after they won the International Quiddich Match in the Harry Potter - Goblet of Fire.
“We propose that the fan-like landscape is the product of distributed intraplate rotational extension before the breakup of Gondwana, with three continental-scale consequences”.
The scientists who couldn't tell that Climate Change was a hoax... and that didn't know the Covid vax scam was happening... say "Trust us on this one."
Right.
Democrat dumb question: Where will they find the water for cooling?
Walz and Ellison will use the excuse that they are NOT part of the Minnesota Bureau of Investigation (aka The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA)) Investigative Services division, nor are they members of the Minnesota Department of Justice. They aren't prosecutors and do not interfere with ongoing criminal investigations in the state.
That said... both Walz and Ellison can simply claim that they believed the BCA or the MDJ was already investigating criminal fraud cases in the state. They knew fraud was happening, but didn't want to interfere with any ongoing law enforcement investigations or make public statements that might affect future prosecutions.
:>( Unfortunately, both of them may be able to tap dance their way out of this.
Ammend it to also include legal immigrants, those who have been granted visas or green cards or who have "anchor babies" who have been in the U.S. for less than 10-years... and have defrauded American taxpayers.

A stop to the fighting. They called on President Putin to agree to an immediate and complete ceasefire.
-
The current line of contact should be the starting point for negotiations. International borders must not be changed by force, and Ukraine’s sovereign right to choose its own security arrangements and alliances must be fully respected.
-
Ukraine must have robust and legally binding security guarantees in place once a ceasefire enters into force, building on commitments made in Berlin in December 2025 and Paris in January 2026. This includes the deployment of the Multinational Force – Ukraine.
-
Russian assets will remain immobilised until Russia ceases its war of aggression and compensates Ukraine for the damage caused by the war.
-
European security interests must be safeguarded in any deal. Elements of any negotiation related to the EU and NATO would need the consent of the EU and its Member States and NATO Allies respectively.
Putin response:
"So you want to put EU troops in Ukraine, steal Russian assets and allow Ukraine to join NATO if it chooses?" "NYET!"
Please refrain from making any racial statements.
The Democrats ARE racist. They show that in their words and actions.
We want to be a BETTER choice for people who are sick and tired of racism to join the Republican alternative. The more we act like true Americans, the more the Democrats stand out, by their own doing, as hate filled racists.
In 1942, probably every high school graduate in California could spell the word "tabulator".
These days, the high school graduates couldn't count 50 cents change from a $1 bill.
OK then... can we still mail-in ballots for the 2020 election, backdated by hand to Nov. 3rd 2020?
Who exactly in Iran is saying they aren't doing any more attacks?
Is someone actually in charge in Iran these days?
What exactly is the point in having a corrupt state "purge" their voter rolls?
If California purges their voter rolls of every ineligible voter... and even if they get the rolls all the way down to 500,000 voters... California will make sure they vote 6 times each, and then throw away any Republican votes... and then create 1 million fake mail-in ballots that show up 3 days late in a single drop.
Cheaters are going to cheat. You can try to stop the vote cheating by cleaning up the cheating before the vote takes place... but most of the cheating happens during the counting of votes.
I don't know how California's elections will ever be fair... but maybe start with the USPS, which is a Federal Agency under the Executive Branch REFUSING to deliver any mail-in ballots after election day. That might be a start.
Don't be so hard on Muslim nations.
They continued to innovate, promote science and made contributions to the world all the way through the end of the 9th century.
They've only been dragging behind for the last 1,000 years.
Speaker Johnson should send a strongly worded letter!!!
Maybe he can officially "deplore" the elections in California. :>(
After reviewing the data, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said, "There is no significant tsunami threat." They said that small waves may be experienced at coastlines near the epicenter, but NO tsunami.
Judge Sorokin is a U.S. District Judge for the District of Massachusetts.
Last I checked, that doesn't qualify him to make rulings affecting the rest of America, and doesn't qualify him to make immigration policy either.
Judges INTERPRET the law. They don't MAKE the law.
The folks living in the Florida Keys felt the shaking for about 10 seconds longer than everyone else. Darn those silicone implants.
The sharpness of a kirpan varies depending on the wearer. Traditionally, it's intended to be a sharp blade, but sharpness and function isn't a requirement for the religious object. Often people carry unsharpened blades for safety and legal compliance.
In many countries, modern kirpans worn in public are dull or blunt to comply with weapon laws and security regulations, such as those in schools or on airplanes.
There is an exemption in the UK for religious carrying of a kirpan knife. A person is allowed to carry the knife, but NOT to use it. Taking the kirpan out of it's sheath to threaten someone or to use it even in self defense makes it no longer a religious item. The UK law doesn't say "sharpened" or "dull" or "blunted"... it simply says that the knife must stay in the sheath and displayed only as a religious item.
Maybe they need to change that law to specify dull or blunted only, and then define "dull". Dull = can't cut a piece of paper. Blunted = butter knife like rounded end.
I could run a clinic like that: Affirming your Psychosis.
"OK... you're a rabbit. You look like a human, but I agree you are a rabbit. It's affirmed. That will be $200 please."
