Trump's delusional rantings for the day, sending a medical ship to Greenland to "take care of the many sick people," who apparently aren't included in their Universal Healthcare System.
So Governor of Louisiana Jeff Landry, who's state ranks dead last in health care for the past 4 years, is joining with Trump, who cut off ACA subsidies to millions, to send a medical ship to Greenland, a nation with universal health care, to "help their sick people".
Are ya fucking kidding me?

And yet itβs even more dumb: Both hospital ships are in dry-dock in Alabama, so they wonβt be arriving anytime soon.
This is a weird distraction from the Danes medically evacuating a sick US sailor from a US Navy nuclear sub yesterday 9 miles from Nuuk. What was a sub doing nine miles from Nuuk?

I saw your interview with Kate Barr of NC shortly after I watched Sarah Taber's.
Hope you're already following her work, as agriculture is your jam (one of so many). Her UToob channel is "farm to taber"

Scotland has passed a law that all new buildings must install βswift bricksβ which are hollowed out bricks to help nesting swifts and other endangered birds! Swifts are especially endangered because so many chimneys now have chimney caps. Swifts return to the same nesting spot year after year.

Ms. Wiles and her team are so like-minded in their devotion to the president that theyβve in many ways lost touch with the outside world. On what planet would a White House official say out loud, of prosecuting the presidentβs political enemies, that βwhen thereβs an opportunity, he will go for itβ? Or that Russell Vought, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, is a βright-wing absolute zealotβ? Or that Mr. Vanceβs 180-degree conversion to Trumpism was βsort of politicalβ?
As I discovered, this is the way true believers talk in Mr. Trumpβs West Wing. I donβt think Ms. Wiles knew that her comments, outside the White House, would explode like bombs. They were confirmation of an old Washington maxim: The definition of a gaffe is when a powerful official accidentally tells the truth.
Chris Whipple said something in a NYT op-ed the other day that accords what I took away from his Vanity Fair profile of Susie Wiles. The reason she said so many batshit things to him is she doesn't understand that normies will recognize them as batshit.
