No DM. Language teacher. Married to a Vietnam Veteran. Though the truth be at the bottom of the well, the sun shines on it at midday, often through the clouds.

There are three kinds of politicians:
The politicians who work for "We the People"
The politicians who work for "We the Pocket"
and......
The politicians who work for "We the People's Republic of China".

My husband and I were traveling from AZ to California, listening to the radio.
A reporter says "a rabbit-raccoon" was found in LA county.
I say "A rabbit-raccoon! How cute!"
Then the reporter adds "It's rare to find raccoons with rabies in LA county".

It is absolutely inexcusable for red states like Tennessee to have these botched executions.
Stop with the lethal injection drug cocktails. Leftist activists have litigated these to no end.
There are plenty of better options, such as firing squad, gallows, and even guillotine.

If you have trouble sleeping, ask your doctor if he can prescribe the same drugs used for Christa Pike's botched execution.
She does not seem to have suffered any ill-effects, and was even snoring afterwards.

The Covid vaccine has proven to be more lethal than the drugs used for Christa Pike's botched execution.

Hero
Had this man not found the courage to fight back after being repeatedly attacked with an axe capable of cutting through metal—while bleeding profusely—and had the presence mind to trigger the hijack/emergency code, initiate the emergency response and open the cockpit door to allow passengers to assist him, the aircraft’s subsequent dive could have had catastrophic consequences.
Had that aircraft not been recovered, the geopolitical consequences for the Middle East could have been profound and potentially irreversible.
Sometimes history turns on the courage, resilience and presence of mind of one person.
Yes. One Indian man.

From now on, there should be a handful of Israeli passengers on every flight.
We'll reach our destination safe and sound and save on air marshalls - all for a few free airline tickets.
And it will ease the taxpayer burden.

Next time I fly I'll feel better if the plane is full of Israelis.

The "British citizens" who were suspected of plotting a terror act against RAF Fairford have been released on bail.
Apparently, they are "fuel thieves".
The difference between terrorists and fuel thieves is a box of matches.

I pray and hope the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland will remain united.
Secession would be catastrophic.
England and the "new countries" would all become greatly weakened, and subject to attacks on freedom and democracy.

Socialism does not want you. It wants your labor.
Communism does not want you. It wants your labor and the space you occupy.

Every time someone in my family or in my circle of friends needs antibiotics, I thank Sir Alexander Fleming.
Anyone who doesn’t think antibiotics are a miracle drug— should come spend a day with me in hospital.
Patients literally arrive in the emergency room at deaths door with sepsis (it could be something like pneumonia or a urinary infection that started it). They will be semiconscious and their blood tests will be all over the place.
Literally within hours of being started on IV antibiotics, their infection is improving, they are up and talking, and completely unrecognizable.
The greatest gift the world of medicine has ever given humanity, is antibiotics. They are the only drug that truly cures people.
By the same token, I am always amazed that the same antibiotics still work. Think about it, the speed at which bacteria evolve is phenomenal— yet most of the same antibiotics still work as decades ago! This is quite lucky actually. AI is new to the equation, but I’m sure it can now be used to always make sure that humans are one step ahead of bacteria.
For nearly all of human history up until the 1920s when Sir Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin in his small London lab, people could die from the simplest skin or tooth infection. Our ancestors would be insanely jealous.
God bless antibiotics. At the same time, we must not take them for granted, and definitely not overuse them.

Beware of "American" politicians who want to abolish religious celebrations such as Thanksgiving and Christmas.
That's how the Third Reich started.
The National Socialists sought to radically transform Christian religions and also banned Jewish festivals.

Medicare for All is Britain's National Health Service "à l'américaine".... To fight for independence, only to end up roughly like the Brits, very roughly.

Just think... if Ted Bundy had been anti-Israel, he might have gotten a seat in Congress, instead of the electric chair.
Please, do not vote for anti-Semitic candidates - you know, the ones who say "I love Jews, I just hate Zionists".
