This was my first company - KID BASIX. We created the world's first 'BPA-Free' branded reusable water bottle. I was one of the parent activists who led the fight to get BPA banned from drink ware worldwide.
Now, I'm starting my next company. Stay tuned!

As usual, Bondi and Patel politicize the announcement of the arrest. Rather than talking about the investigation itself, they choose to blame the Biden Administration while getting on their knees in front the Orange Cheeto King.

If Trump tries to fight this, Costco will just open a 36 pack of Kirkland brand whoopass on him.
New in PN: Costco demands a refund from Trump
"One of the biggest importers in the country has entered the fray, at the risk of finding itself crosswise with the Trump administration. This is what happens when you let the president break the law for a little while."

'Happy Holidays' isn't an Insult to Jesus, But Christians Who Weaponize Christmas are.
American Evangelicals’ annual campaign against the supposed “War on Christmas” began early this year, with the White House promising the apparently perpetually oppressed faithful that with Donald Trum...

The GOP unified front is finally splintering, as Trump's lawlessness - and the people who have sworn fialty to him - divides the party.

Watched Sunday Night Football on a Canadian network feed tonight. Beyond the crazy great OT win by Denver, two things stood out:
1. Canadian commercials are better than U.S. ads...and NO pharma ads.
2. One of the announcers on Sports Centre [sic] post game had a mullet. Inexcusable.

To win the midterms, we must consistently remind our followers that Trump is a P3RVRT - UNTIL - & BEYOND - release of the Epstein files.
HOW? Use the nickname EPSTEIN-BESTIE Trump. Just replace "President" with this nickname EVERY DAY on the first instance of his name in EVERY post, video, etc.

WHY I HATE AI:
Because it keeps showing me images of places that I look at and think - "I REALLY, REALLY want to live there! In *that* house, with a stream right outside the French doors of my bedroom."
And then I remember climate change and the rise of "1000 year" super storms.

Stoats are a species of weasel whose fur turns from brown to white in winter (when they are called ermines). Nobody knows why ermines jump into the air like this. Some think it's to lure prey, others that it's caused by parasitic infection.
