No need to debunk this.

The word β€˜bunk’ is a shortened form of β€˜bunkum,’ which came from Buncombe County, North Carolina (where Asheville is located).

The American Oil Industry’s Playbook, Illustrated: How Drillers Offload Costly Cleanup Onto the Public Oil executive Tom Ragsdale walked away from his old wells, making the pollution left behind the state of New Mexico’s problem. His tactics, however, are ubiquitous in the industry.

More than 2 million oil and gas wells sit unplugged in the U.S., many leaking contaminants into waterways, farmland and neighborhoods.

Time and time again, oil companies have walked away β€” leaving taxpayers to pay for cleanup. Here’s how.

Thou shalt not support a guy who tells people to β€˜go to hell’ on Christmas and still maintain that same guy is a β€˜strong Christian.’

We’re about to see how much loss, pain and suffering people are willing to take in exchange for not wanting to vote for a woman.

My friend Joe’s beautiful story is the story of America.
As the daughter of an immigrant who worked for our Dept. of Defense for 50 years, this is my story too.
Our country is a tapestry.
That’s our strength.
Trump wants to tear us apart.
We can’t & we won’t let him.
We can’t ever forget who we are.

Anthem Insurance will no longer cap anesthesia coverage at certain time limits for CT patients: official Update: Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield will no longer implement a policy to limit coverage of anesthesia, according to the state comptroller. See the original story below. Anyone with an Anthem Blue Cr...

Anthem REVERSED a decision to cap anesthesia. Was this a test? Why would they do such a disgusting horrendous thing? Did they want to see if anybody was noticing to keep them in check? What else are they and other insurance companies going to do? OVERSIGHT!πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/local/a...

This is why Black folks are fresh out of fu@ks! We managed to vote for Harris, and we would have voted for Biden. We understood what was at stake. We knew we had to vote for our survival, not the perfect. As always, we took it seriously and spread the word within our families and communities.

"Kamala didn't get to do Hot Ones. She should've done Rogan" is what we're talking about in 2024 when a plurality of American voters decided to elect a criminal sexual assaulter to the White House.

This country is terminally self-destructive and ignorant.
