What’s the difference between a baked potato with chili and chili on a baked potato? That’s my question. Also, anything that includes a baked potato is good.

Important info from @cato.org about how immigrants contribute to our country:

"The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023."

Facts matter.

Today is the paperback release day for my book The Contagion of Liberty! It’s about how Americans demanded that their governments provide inoculations for smallpox to the public as their right and also to affirm that public health is a foremost duty of government. www.press.jhu.edu/books/title/...

I’m just a girl standing in front of all men and saying that f-ing the nanny, luring a stranger under false pretenses to initiate a violent “consensual” sexual encounter with your wife, shooting him, and stabbing your wife to death with your 4 y o home was the wrong way to deal with your feelings.

"The concern is that the US administration's strong anti-abortion stance will directly affect reproductive health services in Kenya. We anticipate this will lead to increased maternal mortality and morbidity."

Judge Reyes starts with a comparison: George Washington versus Kristi Noem.

[start quotation] MEMORANDUM OPINION
On December 2, 1783, then-Commander-in-Chief George Washington penned: “America is open to receive not only the Opulent & respected Stranger, but the oppressed & persecuted of
all Nations & Religions.”1
More than two centuries later, Congress reaffirmed President
Washington’s vision by establishing the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program. See 8
U.S.C. § 1254a (TPS statute). It provides humanitarian relief to foreign nationals in the United
States who come from disaster-stricken countries. It also brings in substantial revenue, with TPS
holders generating $5.2 billion in taxes annually. See Part VI.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem has a different take."[end quotation]

Underneath is a screenshot of a tweet, which reads: " Secretary Kristi Noem
@Sec_Noem
I just met with the President.
I am recommending a full travel ban on every damn country that's been flooding our nation with killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies.
Our forefathers built this nation on blood, sweat, and the unyielding love of freedom-not for foreign invaders to slaughter our heroes, suck dry our hard-earned tax dollars, or snatch the benefits owed to AMERICANS.
WE DON'T WANT THEM. NOT ONE.

Can avatars deliver babies? Because that’s one of the most pressing needs in said rural communities that are also maternity care deserts.

Kayleigh: My mom went to see Melania. She said the theater was packed, it was standing room only. People were cheering through it, they were excited. It was interactive—people interplaying with the film. She said it was just electric.

Once the animals turn on us, bears are charge. They can swim, climb trees, run fast, open car doors, and kill you without much effort. It’s only a lack of ambition that has kept them down.

Eight additional federal prosecutors are in the process of leaving the Minnesota U.S. Attorney's Office, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the situation.

The departures follow the mass exit of six veteran prosecutors who left the office last month.

Yes, there's a city in Texas called 'White Settlement'

Trump is such a shrewd businessman. He could either remove his name from the Kennedy Center for a few hundred dollars of labor or close it for two years, deprive the nation of cultural arts, and spend over $250 million to make it tacky and gaudy. Obviously, he chooses the latter.

Famously, Democrats can travel more safely on ice than Republicans. Wait, what? Also, this man did not know the difference between Medicaid and Medicare after serving in Congress for 20 years, so I wouldn’t rely too much on his analysis of anything.
