And when the last law was down and the Devil turned round on you, where would you hide Roper, the laws all being flat?

This is good, but as a friend familiar with visa processing tells me, few consular officers will be comfortable asking women applicants if they're pregnant -- and therefore, the question needs to be added to the application itself. And so if you lie, you've committed visa fraud.

Yet another example of why their support of gun control is projection.

The people of Northern Ireland should start carrying these like a Maori carries a wakaika…or being that Sikhs in the UK can carry “traditional” knives, the Irish can say that this is carried for the same reason. Traditions are important.

Can we make war monuments that are actually monuments to the men and women who fought those wars, instead of monuments to some fucking avant-garde architect's ego?

My hospital for all my follow up care and tests switched from Coke to Pepsi exclusively, and if I knew they were going to do that, I might have insisted on having my transplant somewhere else.

California has a requirement for Native American shamans to oversee many of the "controlled burns" that are desperately needed to prevent wildfires.

Gabriel Mann, a Choctaw Indian, says this requirement is insane. @Hotshot_Movie

“Illegal content” meaning “anything we deem a threat to the regime”

“Time of crisis” meaning “at any time we feel like”

Further to this, during the Epping protest, the protesters attempted to block the migrant hotel using the court system. They had some initial success, but this was quickly overturned by a judge whose explicit reasoning was essentially "Damn what the law says, the government has a positive interest in housing migrants, which overrides whatever concerns locals may have."

Voting didn't work, petitions didn't work, protests didn't work, and the courts didn't work. These peaceful avenues were patiently pursued for decades, and despite being very successful - elections won, legal challenges won, petitions and rallies with massive turnouts - the regime stymied them at every turn.

So now they get war.

Who do you think does more for the poor: Charity or Walmart?

And which one "cares" about the poor more?

It doesn’t cost anything extra. The jets have to fly anyway, and do this exercise anyway, and the hours are already funded. They are training. So, instead of hitting a point on a map at a specific time for the 50th time, they move it to a stadium once in a while & make the time coincide with the end of the anthem..

[Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ @christopherrufo]

It's a lie to claim that you're "fast-tracking" fire management on 100,000 acres of public land, when in reality, you only complete 1 percent of the work—and then try to hide that fact from the public. Lying through omission, and lying through misdirection.

So who is to blame for the screwworm crisis? I don't blame Trump, the problem was already at a crisis stage when he came into office.

I don't blame Biden. It seems like we didn't even know that this was a major problem until 2023. I do not expect the Biden admin to closely monitor every little project that gets federal funding.

Part of the rapid spread of the screwworm has been due to northern migration of cattle herds. That seems like something we could blame on Biden but this migration was taking place entirely in Central America & I'm not sure what we expected Biden to do about migration between countries in Central America.

I incline to blame the institution that was tasked with making sure this didn't happen. That is COPEG, which is a collaboration between Panama and the United States. But maybe they aren't to blame, maybe they didn't have the funding to respond appropriately to an outbreak (in which case, I feel like they should have been able to raise the alarm about this earlier to get swifter help. I'm not sure why that did not happen.)

if the way the monkey "hoarded" bananas was by learning to cultivate banana trees thus making mass production of bananas possible so all the monkeys have way way more bananas then they ever did when they had to find bananas on their own but also the banana cultivator monkey has even more bananas than that, i think no one would view that as some weird puzzle to be solved.

Speaking of nasty weather in Chicago, I once weathered a pretty nasty green-sky storm on an upper floor of the Prudential building downtown.

You could feel the tower swaying in the wind, and we lost sight of the marina and Navy Pier which... wasn't very far away.

You could say they nailed it. (And also sanded it, painted it, and rebuilt it.)

@NatlParkService staff from across the country are working hard to make DC safe and beautiful, installing and repairing more than 1,000 benches this year.

Their work may happen behind the scenes, but the results are on display every day in the shared spaces that help to tell our nation’s story. 🇺🇸

@xwanyex Learning that this applies to basically every work of "based on a true story" fiction was very disorienting as a younger man

e.g. John Grisham race-swapped the perp and victims in A Time to Kill, his most famous film adaptation

[alexandriabrown @alexthechick]

Everyone knows this.

And this will end up in the traditional manner and I would rather not, please.

[Mark Hemingway @Heminator]

It is technically illegal to vote after election day. And yet, CA allows ballots collected after election day without a postmark if they are "self-dated" by voters.

How do you prove a ballot is fraudulent in that scenario? You can't. And that's the point.

[Ape Hands Holder 🇧🇾 @sheevposter]

@xwanyex I saw a theory somewhere - it might've been from @Steve_Sailer or @Ed_Realist, that the public school system with its terror of disproportionate suspension/expulsion rates creates unrealistic expectations among black youth about how much antisocial behavior is tolerated that...

[wanye @xwanyex]

Being a liberal in a blue city means listening to somebody on NPR tell you that black men are always fearful while a black guy mean mugs you as he sloooooowly jaywalks in front of your car, daring you to start some shit.
