Like I believe he knows the first thing about Christianity. Remember Two Corinthians? He probably thinks they walked into a bar.

I hope that they are someday held accountableβ€”and don’t give me that β€œjust following orders” crap. They weren’t drafteesβ€” they signed up to do this.

It was always a treat to visit Chicago when I lived in the Midwest. I liked it better even than San Francisco.

How much is that ballroom, again?

They are the machine that Rage Against the Machine was raging against.

This is from Marge Greene.

You know who has been warning about this for months? Democrats.

But the people who had no plan to deal with this crisis and still don’t want you to believe this is about β€œillegals.”

Donald Trump is the only person in America who has never heard of Jizzy Maxwell.

It would be thrilling if the big blue states did this.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do β€” hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

I co-wrote Trump’s first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-18. He’s not trying to stop β€œleft-wing” terrorism. He is staging it.

His troop deployments are a false flag β€” meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns.

This is now very obvious.

I rag on DOJ lawyers. And they deserve it.

But one frequent & reliable red flag is when career DOJ lawyers won’t cooperate.

American Conversations: Chair Representative Teresa Leger FernΓ‘ndez YouTube video by Democratic Women's Caucus

Leger Fernandez explains that, even though there isn't a line item for Medicare in the BUB, the billionaire tax cut is so large that it will create a $500B shortfall that will automatically trigger cuts to services.

Not really. There weren't that many spinners in those days; I do remember a lot of eye-rolling. The one lady knit a Samoyed sweater; it was super-warm, and smelled bad when she washed it. I don't remember what the Afghan hound lady knit.

I'd say you're off and running! Well done!

I remember when two members of a knitting guild I belonged to almost came to blows over which yarn was better, Samoyed or Afghan Hound. Lovely!

I couldn't agree more! Most of mine are either ribbed or some kind of ribbing variation, to make them really cling and fit.

Nothing wrong with a good pair of vanilla socks in a lovely yarn!

I also added ribbing.

Welcome to the Wonderful World of Socks! I almost always have a pair on the go. They are great take-with projects.

That book has a lot of great stuff in it. One could do Rhinebeck socks, with knitwear, leaves and apples.

Do add a heel turn. The pattern is based on a medieval sock, which is essentially a tube sock, which isn't a good enough fit for that much work. There is enough text to make socks for huge feet.
