The phrase “102 years ago” deserves some explanation. Hubble can “look into the past” because of light traveling across vast space but it’s confusing to those of us who know that Hubble was not giving us data 102 years ago.

The meconium is not the same as poop, like from food digested. Also, when a baby is born and they see the meconium staining in the “water,” the staff knows to check the baby very carefully and look for problems from breathing in the meconium.

Jasmine Crockett, after accusing colleagues of castrating their Constitutional duty, said, “My job is to make sure we don’t have any kings or queens in this country, but it seems like you all have decided it’s going to be Mr. King and his queen. And y’all can pick which one is which.”

A memo listing all of the clubs eliminated by USMA.
The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

True that it’s not truly *his* agenda. Project 2025 is his promised agenda due to his ties to the key members. They are the puppet masters. IF they can continue to control him. When he goes off script, and they remove him, Vance will swoop in to continue their agenda.

But he may hire enough lackeys and sycophants— and hapless folx who need the employment— that his will is done effectively. I shudder to think what the military could/ will do under his command.
