Congratulations to both of you! Every little step is a gain.

Great news, and a relief for you! Thanks for returning with your update.

Coca-Cola retires beloved 80-year-old product line Technology has dramatically changed the beverage market. "About 30% of milk was still delivered to homes in the 1960s," according to USDA agricultural surveys, and prior to that, had been the most common way consumers got their milk, Food52 reported. It was actually the growth of supermarkets and the prevalence of car ownership that ultimately made the milk man irrelevant. Shipping and storage technology has also changed the beverage market. Juice concentrates, for example, were created for a logical reason. "Frozen concentrated orange juice was invented in Florida in the 1940s, primarily as a way to provide juice for the military, readily storable and easy to ship. But frozen juice has been losing favor for years," the Wall Street Journal reported in 2015. Now, Coca-Cola has dealt another blow to the struggling market for juice concentrates.

"What difference, at this point, does it make?" It's noteworthy that Muslims typically celebrate anniversaries of their previous "victories" by launching new attacks on those same dates. Raymond Ibrahim, eminent historian, has pointed this out. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Justice Department Announces Arrest of Suspect in Benghazi Attack Attorney General Pam Bondi has announced that the Justice Department apprehended a suspect of the 2012 attack in Benghazi, Libya. The attack, carried out by the militant group Ansar al-Sharia, occurred on the 11th anniversary of the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center. It targeted a pair of U.S. facilities and resulted in the deaths of a U.S. ambassador and a pair of CIA contractors, among others. During a Friday morning press conference, Bondi said: [...] https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/just-justice-department-announces-arrest-151438790.html

"[...] the Obamas as moneys" -- they sure did get wealthy while in office. Looks like a Freudian typo.

If we're thinking about the same guy, he was harboring two noncitizen sex-offenders.

(Note: The "today" and "Thursday" refer to Thurs., 5 Feb. 2026.) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BREAKING: Trump to Launch Website to Help Find Low-Cost Medicine The Trump administration will launch a new website to help Americans find low-cost prescription drugs tonight.

This is a thorough, sensible article. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Transgender Industrial Complex Is Collapsing In Ernest Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises, one character asks another how he went bankrupt. "Two ways," he responds. "Gradually and then suddenly." That quote has become a famous metaphor for slow, compounding developments that culminate in a sudden collapse – and now it applies to the transgender industrial complex that has for years insidiously preyed on vulnerable and confused children. A pair of recent developments, which at first may appear distinct but are actually intimately related, reveal how transgender ideology has lost its grip over both the legal and medical establishments – pillars of the left's institutional control over American society.
