No sense of direction. Love fashion but live in Santa Cruz, so bummer for me; also I’m old. Former dancer. Still a reader, writer, surfer. Lefty left left left but not as much as my kid.

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."
Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

By that measure Trump could be held criminally liable for the millions of projected deaths caused by cuts in humanitarian aid. Or more concretely, the 115 killed in his boat strikes. Who’s going to kidnap him? And please don’t forget Melania.

Top *eight* articles on NYT devoted to Charlie Kirk, top one asks if he will be remembered like MLK. This is a man who only a tiny percent of Americans had even heard of before his death, whose views are too nasty for NYT to detail. But they are trying so hard to turn into martyr.
