What’s interesting is that when I googled YESTERDAY when the news came out, if Graham had any preexisting heart issues, the response indicated there were none reported yet, TODAY, the response indicates: Hmm🤔🤷♂️
Several Republicans have stated that they recently spoke with Mitch McConnell, each indicating for about 20 minutes…and Donald Trump also recently said that he spoke with Theodore Roosevelt. 🤷♂️
I got blocked by @kenjennings.bsky.social for asking why he had made such a nasty comment about the Canadians who attended the games with Seattle. It seems “Mr Host of Jeopardy” is a nasty little man who has some issues with Blue Jays fans attending Seattle baseball games.🤷♂️ #Loser!
So, FIFA has suspended USMNT’s Falorin Balagun’s red card making him eligible to play against Belgium. You don’t suppose Trump contacted his buddy, the FIFA president, to make this happen? It seems odd to me.
People, including NYers have been critical of the extravagance of this wedding, how it inconvenienced NY City & even that they donated $26 million to various places citing it was a mere pittance of their wealth. Compare what Jeff Bezos & his wife donated to Venice &/or Italy prior to their wedding:
August 15 2017 in Charlottesville Virginia Trump: "I think there is blame on both sides. You look at both sides. I think there is blame on both sides. I have no doubt about it... You had some very bad people in that group. You also had some very fine people on both sides.”
The tough guy, Markwayne Mullin, took shelter behind a bullet-proof chair in the main House chamber during the January 6 2021 protest at the Capitol, because he perceived a deadly threat. I would say the Capitol was attacked.
…when I got home I watched two movies: “Ché” & “The Mortorcycle diaries and did a little more research into the Cuban Revolution & the reason(s) why the Cubans behind Fidel Castro revolted (see brief synopsis, below). 3/
The only single time Marco Rubio has been anywhere on the island of Cuba was a visit to the US naval station at Guantanamo Bay & his parents left Cuba in 1956. Ironically, Ché Guevara arrived on December 2 1956 & the Cuban revolution became a little more “serious”. 1/
In addition, gardening had/has provided me physical exercise & mental therapy over the 40+ years I have gardened. Throughout a career of high stress sedentary work, gardening was of immeasurable benefit/value to me.
To be honest, I do not garden to save a lot of money although we probably save $100 per week when our vegetable garden(s) is/are in full production. I/we garden for the freshness, quality & taste of vegetables straight from the garden to our table. 1/
The US Ambassador to Greece has been hard at work. I’m sure the Greek will be eternally grateful for Ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle FINALLY doing something about their culinary shortcomings by opening a McDonalds in the mall in Athens! And just think of the added tourist draw, as well! 😂🤣
“…a shot gun, a handgun and several knives…” Umm, how did a 31 year-old civilian with no training get beyond any metal detectors & all that security? Hmm…🤔🤷♂️
I will bet you Trump will not support Hungary the way he promised to pre-election.
I was curious to know what Trump’s interest is in Hungary. Googling Hungary’s minerals, fossil fuels & natural resources I didn’t see a lot of financial benefit for Trump (or the US). It would seem it is Orban’s ideology & Hungary’s political structure & governance Trump is interested in. 🤔
What are your thoughts on his results yesterday, Keegan? 2.2 IP 4 hits 4 ER 1 BB 6 K's 52 pitches (34 strikes)
Trump (& Netanyahu) caused the problems in the Strait of Hormuz & is now asking the rest of the world to support the US financially & militarily to open the strait using military force. China said “No”, and is working with the EU & Iran to achieve a ceasefire. The US dollar & economy is at risk.
A couple of very interesting questions to Grok on the dead bird platform & the results may be even more interesting. Unfortunately the second question only goes back 50 years & should have been for at least 75 years or since WWII to at least include the Vietnam war.
This post below is but a brief synopsis of/about a major electricity generation process, using clean renewable sources, adopted successfully by the Chinese. GENERATION of the electricity is only the first part of the solution. STORAGE is key. Read through the further explanations in the pics below.
I hate to say this but there are already ICE agents in Canada & I would bet they may be told to attend the FIFA games.
This is how the current POTUS treats the Cuban people, to say nothing of what he is doing (or threatens to do) in the Middle East. In January, Trump was quoted to say about what limits his actions: “My morality…” Is there any question that Trump has no morals whatsoever?
US farmers may have a different opinion about needing the Strait of Hormuz, as a big portion of their fertilizers go through the strait. Trump has said the US didn’t need the fertilizer from Canada & now he says the US doesn’t use the strait. US farmers are going to be hurting for fertilizer.
There are exceptions, but education & healthcare are primarily the responsibility of prov governments & the fed gov tries very hard to leave the stewardship to the provinces. I know fed funding for has been given to the ON gov to certain areas & the money has not always gone there. 1/2
Umm, the federal government may provide funding to the provinces for education & healthcare, but you might want to take a look to see under which level of government in Canada the responsibilities for healthcare and education actually fall, in this chart:
I believe ICE may have mistaken one they detained as a member of an Iranian sleeper cell? Turned out he wasn’t Iranian.🤷♂️ 😉
Every time I see the Pizza Hut commercial(s) with guys (one after the other) licking a cellular, I think about how may germs are found on cellulars, which is similar to the germs on money (or maybe toilet seats). Disgusting!!🤢
So, if you even knew about a certain helicopter crash in 1989 in which killed 3 of Trump’s top executives & 2 pilots, do the points raised in the pics below raise any questions about the crash in your mind?🤔
