  It’s definitely leaving me wrung-out, like a dish-rag.

    Best to drink lots of water, so you don’t have to go to the ER for being majorly dehydrated. Good luck to you! I hope you feel better soon!

      Many thanks, Sho!

  I almost posted this article. I only didn’t because it’s so long, and I didn’t have time to read it through. Looks fascinating, though.

    I almost didn’t for the same reason.

  The bottom line: Don’t bother getting out of bed on election day. Your vote won’t be counted.

    The rot is down to the core and irreversible. There is no point .

  This a shocker but I can’t say entirely unexpected. Definitely important.

.Trump has gagged the US Agriculture Department’s research arm from publicly sharing its work

The message was handed down to the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) just days after Donald Trump was sworn into office as president. At least a couple of other agencies have been put on ice over what they are allowed to share with the public, among them the Environmental Protection Agency.

“the Abysmal Failure of Democrats” Proof that the intelligence agencies were not aware of something is that they were not speaking in public about it? I’m sorry but I stopped there.

    The residents did a good job of getting rid of McCrory, and even then he tried to hang around like a bad case of herpes. Getting rid of the legislature is a different story given the gerrymandering in the state.

  Not surprised. I sure didn’t expect the Democrats to act like the opposition party. Just more rolling over.
