This one from Quora made me snort coffee (not as fun as it sounds). In the last 100 years the US has been defeated by: North Korea; Vietnam; Iraq; Afghanistan; & Iran. The only "war" the US has "won" without help was against a Venezuela so degraded it was analogous to swatting a kindergarten
My beautiful, fierce, clever, sweet old lady Mistress Esmerelda Weatherwax-Rawson Little Lion went for the long sleep today. I only had her 8 months, but she had been around the sun 11 times. She is irreplaceable
This one from Quora made me laugh! A) Europe is a continent not a country; B) Your health system is considered morally indefensible IN EVERY OTHER COUNTRY ON THE PLANET; C) Your own President (sick) admitted in his 1st term that no European try to emigrate to the US ("Shithole countries") SMDH

My garding! (WIP). It has gone from a desert that flooded regularly (like 2/3 flooded) to a wee oasis that has one placemat sized puddle in very heavy rain. The only non Irish-native is the apple tree All credit goes to @gardeningwell.ie for advice & patience
If Iran ends up inadvertently blowing up Al-Aqsa, that's going to be a BIG problem for them. Which is why "Iran is trying to get a nuke" is a dumb excuse, BB. If Iran ever nuked Jerusalem, or anywhere near it, it would be game over for them. The place is holy for all 3 Abrahamic faiths
Dubai is the new Amerikkka - the place where Europe has been storing its absolute trash. And they're immigrants, not "expats"
Thank you all for your lovely replies! Just so you have an idea, this is what I'm starting with (the plastic covered collapsed box used to be a feral cat shelter, ante storm)
This is Esmé, and her older sisfur is Gytha (also black, also fluffy). Esmé is 10, Gytha 14. Their owner died in October so they came to me with no names. Two old ladies who wear midnight? Had to be Esmé & Gytha (yes Esmé is the grumpy one)
My 3rd to last Hanukkah present to myself finally arrived! Post is CRAZY this year, but my bourgeois points just got a major boost so overall very happy
I am sick of the Judenhasser on the left trying "Antisemitism applies to *all* semitic peoples". It doesn't, it never has, and this piece of sophistry is why I prefer the term Judenhasser. Because it's clear & allows no wriggle room. However, since it's being used, here's the truth of it:
Hanukkah 2025. No menorah, because I hid it so the Jew Killers wouldn't see it through the window. No celebration. Just rage & despair
Esmé on the bed, Gytha on her cat adoration pedestal (apparently yes she does need all those pillows!)Their owner passed away and they weren't doing well at all in the sanctuary, so they came to live with me on Saturday. Esmé is 14, Gytha is 10
