Noem's bland, dead-eyed affect, and hideous mutilation and caking-over her own face, combined with that flat Northern accent - which can otherwise be charming (see Fargo), makes my skin crawl. And yet, she quickly got flustered here, even under the most tepid and demuring questioning from Welker.

Whoops, found our p-nerf sheltering in a bed of leaves under some boxes in an empty garage space. I woke him up thinking i'd clear out the boxes. Let him be, just saw him on the garage roof after nightfall.

Thanks for that. And the article is still up at Newsweek: www.newsweek.com/national-gua...
And yet, it too refers back to the same CNN broadcast of John Miller's remarks. And also to a CBS story citing anon DHS with more nuanced detail. And an NBC story which has been removed from their site:

“He settled in Washington. He applies for asylum in December of 2024. Now he goes through another vetting process involving that. And he’s approved for asylum in April of this year under the Trump administration."

Picked these furry seed pods off an old Wisteria vine. I read that the seeds will either be furry if the invasive Asian variety, or smooth if the North American native variety. And inside - these lovely squarish smooth seeds, like smashed milk duds. Now just plant and wait 15 years or so...😂

And, shocker, Big Tech has been known to fiercely litigate to keep hidden, and *wildly* understate the public resources it devours.

That's putting much too fine a point on it imo. It's water for tech vs water for Ag. Google, Amazon, Ai, streaming, whatever. Big barns full of computers, guzzling power and water.

Not in this case. Amazon's waste water is discharged, and with greater concentrations of nitrates due to heating/evap., and in vastly greater volumes, enough to correlate with recent degradation of water supplies and attendant cancer clusters etc.

No, the connection between amazon and water contamination is plain and direct.

From an unrelated story from PNW, about Big Ag, ai data centers, water, and wealth inequality. Unsustainable and polluting Ag enriches a few, while poisoning, impoverishing, and immiserating local people, and producing tainted crops of degraded nutritional value. Net function is the Mc Mansion!

The regime has cherry-picked this pedantic misreading of the Oath as a talking point: "I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me", conveniently leaving out - "according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice."
