Instantly fireable offense with some added jail time for anyone else other than these cronies
The corruption is staggering.
As you pay more for health care, groceries, and utilities, Donald Trump and his administration gets kickbacks with your taxpayer dollars.

Yes, we CAM! First evidence of CAM photosynthesis in a carnivorous plant
Evidence for weak, facultative CAM is reported for the first time in a carnivorous plant, i.e., in Mexican representatives of Pinguicula (Lentibulariaceae).

Last night, the Northern Lights showed their true colors over campus and bathed the sky in Badger red. We’re still in awe.

I've played taps at more funerals than I can count. When I graduated, they started playing recordings. It isn't the same. Maybe I should volunteer again.
Thousands of musicians — civilians, veterans, teenagers, retirees — travel to play taps at military funerals, many distressed by the idea of a recording performing the duties. Some are seasoned musicians with an in-demand skill. Others are lapsed players who felt compelled to restart.

Thousands of musicians — civilians, veterans, teenagers, retirees — are playing taps at military funerals in a rebuke of technology.

Plant bioengineering can be quite annoying. Look at this crap; the type of agar drastically impacts transformation efficiency. The geometric complexity of all these variables makes for one hell of a ride to find the ideal brew…for each stage of regeneration stage.

Donald Trump is weak. He’s a bully. And when we won’t bow down to kings or to bullies, they start to lose their power.
