The insolent ramblings of a diseased mind. What IQ of one peanut fails to mention is that 73 percent of Somali immigrants in the United States are naturalized U.S. citizens, according to the Census Bureau (23.11.2025). He's telling us he doesn't want Americans in our country? How stupid is that?

I rechecked the date and I was in fact 17 when I did that one and beginning to get serious in persuing my art endeavours.

Quinces, they're in season. I first had this dessert at a Greek place. Gently simmered it in Riesling wine and added sugar and spice and everything nice. Goes well with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. 😋
