How is anyone on Social Security, receiving $1200 a month, supposed to afford food? Thanks, Trump, Evangelicals and Republicans.

A computer program is not a person and therefore has no rights, 1st amendment or otherwise.

This fell. To the student. Newspaper.

I’m shocked he got a real job.

He only took the part because he saw the title in a German translation.

So punk.

As end-of-empire scenarios go it is so much more dignified to get your capital city sacked by the Visigoths than to have a bunch of illiterate rich people in their 70s doing it through a series of incomprehensible tantrums because their brains were defeated by their phones.

He responds well to pressure, so your homework this week is to give his office a call at 1-877-696-6775 or email him directly at robert.kennedyjr@hhs.gov and let him know how you feel about his cancellation of mRNA vaccine development, one of the most significant advances in modern medicine.

Why a NASA satellite that scientists and farmers rely on may be destroyed on purpose The Trump administration has asked NASA staffers to draw up plans to end at least two satellite missions that measure carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, according to current and former NASA employees.

Not only shouldn't we bring knives to a gun fight, if they bring pistols, we should bring machine guns.

Basic truths like the lords day of rest is Sunday, or Saturday, or Friday.
