@japan_nobunaga I have named only 1 rifle, Pork Sword. There are many rifles that are pork swords, for hunting feral dogs. I did not name mine for hogs, but for those who fear hogs.
Agatha Christie, the best-selling novelist who ever lived, wrote her murders with a cup of cream beside the typewriter, and drank it.
She was born in Torquay in 1890 and grew up on Devonshire cream. Her mother served it at tea by the bowlful, on the grounds that it was a great deal nicer than cod liver oil.
She never grew out of it. Late in life she wrote that "my favourite thing has been, is, and probably always will be, cream."
She meant drinking it. Her grandson remembered her taking it from an enormous cup with Don't Be Greedy painted on the side, an instruction she never once showed any sign of following. The vicar's daughter in the village said there was always a cup of it by the typewriter.
She didn't care for alcohol and hated cocktail parties. She wrote 66 detective novels on the cream instead, and The Mousetrap, which opened in 1952 and is still running. Poirot, Miss Marple, the Orient Express, Death on the Nile. More than 2 billion copies sold.
Miss Marple shares her weakness for cream, and so, when pressed, does Poirot.
If you grew up in Britain in the 1970s, there was a battered Christie on the shelf of every holiday cottage and a jug of proper cream on every table that had a pudding on it.
She died at home in Wallingford in January 1976, aged 85, a few years before the country was told that cream was a danger to the heart. The jug became single, then half-fat, then a can of squirty foam, then a treat you apologised for.
Nobody in history thought up more ways to poison a cup.
She always knew which cup was safe.
@kerrydougherty@realDonaldTrump You have no idea what unholy levels of brutality have been required to keep your “civilization” civilized. You don’t know the meaning of the word. Civilization is but a cabin carved out of the wilderness. And the wilderness is constantly trying to reclaim it. You know nothing.
Immigration Enforcement and Crime Incidents
Missouri records state two men without legal status were arrested for kidnapping and sexually assaulting a teenage girl. In Polk County, Florida, a deputy found a man with an aggravated assault warrant who had been deported last year and returned illegally; ICE placed a hold.

ActBlue Contribution Irregularities
She stated on camera she neither approved the gifts nor had the money. ActBlue is already under formal inquiry and associated leaders have pleaded the Fifth before Congress. Large sums appear split into smaller increments that look like broad small-dollar support. Speculation on foreign sourcing continues without official confirmation.

Historical Note and Accountability Commentary
Mastro Titta served the Papal States 1796–1864, carrying out 514 sentences while working as an umbrella maker between duties. Modern posts draw comparisons to arguments about visible punishment. One exchange held that physical disability does not erase accountability for lethal actions.

DOJ Actions, Judicial Orders, and the ATF Appeal
Released materials detail Judge Beryl Howell’s 🤡 concerns when Jack Smith’s team sought Perry’s phone and email data in the Arctic Frost probe. Prosecutors discussed work-arounds under nondisclosure orders. An appeals court later narrowed access. Perry was never charged. Separately, DOJ appealed after a court vacated the prior Engaged in the Business rule on private firearm transfers.
