Space Plane?

A new bat coronavirus that has the capacity to spread to humans, similar to the one that caused the COVID-19 pandemic, has been discovered by a Chinese researcher. Good thing we are completely prepared this time. www.newsweek.com/new-coronavi...

I am very politically active and write/call my congressman often. I have lived in his district for almost 2 decades. I have never seen him in person and it’s not for a lack of trying. No town halls. No visiting his district. I’ve never seen hide nor hair of Sam Graves.

This is an excellent resource for all of us, especially fired civil servants, with an update on effects in each state.

A beautiful piebald deer makes her home at the Ochloconnee State Park in the Florida Panhandle. She's famous around here. Her babies have never been this color. I think she's stunning. #photography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin

Americans will have to do this in mass numbers if we hope to eject those ologarchs who captured our government.

A 52 post long thread with examples of the website and data collections of the Federal Government that have been purged.

I am only reposting this so I can come back and laugh at the comments Trump: "I did ask Elon because he knows more about computers than anybody I know. I said, what do you think of the voting system? He said, computers are not meant for voting. It's too many transactions taking place too quickly."
