Yep! Honestly if Oliver Burke‘s form uptick playing for a Bundesliga club back pushing for Europe is going to be met with another shrug at the Scottish FA…..then it’s just plain strange.

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

Federal spending is *up* under Trump according to the Wall Street Journal. Chaos is not actually the same as cost savings. Actual budgeting is a kind of actual policy-making and takes real work spread over real time. Running around breaking stuff isn't that. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Even more to the point, Treasuries usually rally even when the United States is the source of the downturn - see also: the financial crisis. That they’re not now is really bad

True.

Not a Liverpool but everyone should enjoy this.

In honour of the 100th publishing birthday of The Great Gatsby, I present this Lego classic.

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. -FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.

Richard Grenell, interim executive director of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, claimed that every artist who canceled did so because they couldn’t be in the presence of Republicans.

Republicans are way more 'culturally religious' than Democrats. Among Republicans who never attend religious services: 37% say religion is somewhat or very important. Among Democrats who never attend: 13% say religion is somewhat or very important.

Empathy as sin. Don't that just beat all? Well... bless their little hearts... 'cause I guess they've got holes in their hearts.

To build a house takes money, planning, time, and work. A nut with some explosives can destroy a house in a few minutes. There is a difference between the two but the net result is a pile of debris where once stood a home.

U.S. Army Maj. James J. O’Donovan was captured, subjected to the 65-mile Bataan Death March and held at POW camps in the Philippines by Japan. He died a POW on Oct. 18, 1942, at age 34. The remains of O’Donovan will be interred Tuesday at Miramar National Cemetery in San Diego.

Fascinating that under Biden the Dow went from 29,348.10 to 43,487.83 due to legislation like the Chips and Science Act and the Infrastructure law While it’s plunged to about 37,750 in the past week because of the Trump tariffs Yet MAGA claims it’s the Biden policies that are disastrous

Eight people in South Sudan, including five children, died on a three-hour walk to seek medical treatment for cholera after US aid cuts forced local health services to close, the UK-based charity Save the Children said reut.rs/3E9kB27

I like listening to an author read their own work but if they have a grating voice or are not adept at speaking then it is a huge turnoff.

CORTEZ MASTO: What are you doing to impact the negative impact on international tourism right now? GREER: One thing I'll say is we can't have the status quo CORTEZ MASTO: You haven't thought about this

I am a conservative. I am at present an independent as my former party home has left conservative principles behind. That said, elected Democrats truly need to speak up for our nation, our economy, our system of government, our government employees, and our allies.
