I like to view routine vaccinations as exercising my immune system, much as one can exercise the mind and body. Maybe it's not just my imagination... Routine vaccines may cut dementia risk—experts have startling hypothesis on how

When criticism of the President and his policies becomes treason. Sounds like Indonesia.

What You've Done Today...or yesterday...or what you are doing RIGHT THIS MINUTE!!!
In the wilds behind my place there seems to be a pack of coyotes that hang around. Every time an emergency vehicle goes past with its sirens on, the pack just starts howling those creepy noises coyotes make. It takes a while for them to settle down again. Anyway, its a beautiful day out there, apart from all the cottonwood seeds floating about. I need to find a good place to get my glasses prescription filled. It's been a while and the old place I used to go to has long since shut down. Any suggestions?

Virginia Supreme Court strikes down Democrats’ redrawn US House maps, giving Republicans a win Well, if the Pubs retain the House this fall, I'll know the fix is in and the nation is heading toward single party rule.- The All Things Political Topic
Brought to you by the party of "reduce government spending": GOP bill would fund $1B in White House "security upgrades" for Trump’s ballroom Yes, the supposedly "privately funded" government ballroom is now requesting a massive inflow of taxpayer money. For a ballroom.- The All Things Political Topic
Yes, I've long since resigned myself to the fact that institutions will need to be rebuilt following the smoking crater named Redacted. Foreign policy and World standing may never recover.- Music: Sharing and Listening - Where words fail, music speaks

The Russians shipped oil to Cuba without the intervention of the US military. Remember? Sanctioned Russian tanker docks in Cuba after US allows passage despite energy blockade But yes, it's borderline behavior that should be reviewed by Congress. My particular concern is the use of military strikes against unarmed fishing vessels, which seems a pretty clear-cut human rights violation if not a violation of international law. Yes, Congress should be concerned about that, but the Republicans are too cowed by this administration.- The All Things Political Topic
Perhaps you believe this is the hand waving argument by the politicians, but a blockade is a war-like act by international law. Ergo, it must be authorized by Congress.- The All Things Political Topic
Well my post was satirical, but yes. It's unclear how you can run a military blockage without maintaining a state of military conflict, in which case Redacted has exceeded his 60-day deadline. WIthout renewal of the war powers act, it's presumably an unconstitutional act. I wonder if the administration can be sued for unconstitutional behavior, and have the SCOTUS end the blockade? (Sheesh, my editor kept trying to change 'sued' to 'used'. 🤨) But I suppose such a lawsuit would be tossed because it's in the purvue of Congress.- New Scientific Discoveries, Part Fünf

Redacted's grand Iran strategy is just to keep lying. Live updates: Trump administration says war in Iran has been ‘terminated’ before 60-day deadline Gee, I guess we "won" then. 🤨 Strait of Hormuz: Daily throughput is currently 5% of average. Good look with that "victory". - The All Things Political Topic
