A kind of daylight curfew for drive-by shootings. [...] https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2023/08/sad_community_group_in_chicago_pleads_with_gangbangers_9_am__9_pm_no_shooting.html

Peeing "on" the toilet is rather different from peeing in the toilet, mam ma'am.

This author, whom I respect, has knocked it out of the park.

This is easy and compelling reading. Comments? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Taking Aim at the First Amendment Last week's federal indictment of Donald Trump is a watershed moment in the politicization and weaponization of the Department of Justice. The DOJ is doing that which it accuses President Trump of doing -- attempting to change the election and deprive Americans of their right to vote by advancing extreme legal theories.

And you thought that we'd forgotten our hilarious Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke! =================================== TECHNOLOGY RACE After having dug to a depth of 1,000 meters, Scottish scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 1,000 years. They concluded that their ancestors already had a telephone network 1,000 years ago. Not to be outdone by the Scots, English scientists dug to a depth of 2,000 meters, and shortly afterward, headlines in the U.K. newspapers read, "English archaeologists have found traces of 2,000-year-old copper wire and have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-technology communications network a thousand years earlier than did the Scots." One week later, Texas newspapers reported the following: "After digging as deep as 5,000 meters in West Texas, scientists have found absolutely nothing. They therefore conclude that, 5,000 years ago, Texas inhabitants were already using wireless technology."

And, sadly, these very well be study-material at innumerable colleges/universities. Maybe even hyskools.

Count on it.
