So this is Bluesky. Seems like a good place to be right now.
May I humbly suggest that if we invested heavily in education and research, we would develop those talents here. Yes, "People have to learn." So let's teach them.
So Trump says he has to “bring in” foreign talent because American workers don’t have it. I also notice he says “No YOU don’t have it, instead of WE, Americas President is a literal foreign agent

Mostly they just want to be left alone to build their bunkers and mutter in their solitude. They make uneasy neighbors, but I've never had any trouble with them. However, their scoff-law attitude often gets them in trouble.
The sovereign citizen and Free State movement in NH is concerning. They like to say their movement is non violent, their actions say otherwise. They would probably shoot fire fighters who come to save their burning house and then say they were imposing on their rights. wmur.com/article/sove...

A familiar sight in the North Country.
Went up to the cabin after breakfast & the moose was there. Had a hard time getting a pic of her from inside, so went quietly around the outside to snap a photo, then retreated.

The silver lining to the surrender by 8 Dems is that the House GOP must return to vote on it. Johnson must swear in Grijalva, and the discharge petition on the Epstein files must force a full floor vote. Stay tuned.

It is the Founders' brilliant insight. An individual may be motivated by his faith, and that is good, but beyond that, rational discourse is the key to wise governing.

Apple trees. The reason the picture is so dark is that it’s still snowing, which it has been doing all day long. Plus it’s 3:30 p.m.

Instead of funneling endless amounts of money into our bloated Pentagon budget while thousands of veterans face homelessness and hunger, let’s use those funds to truly take care of our veterans — ensuring every one has a home, food, and access to medical and mental health care.

Stand with veterans, today and every day.
Adelita Grijalva hit the nail on the head: True troop support means funding veterans' health ＆ housing, not slashing it! Let's keep backing our vets, their families, and the federal workers who serve them. #VeteransDay

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

Vast accumulations of personal wealth indicate greed, not aptitude. Where would their empire be without the workers who supported it? The more money they accrue for themselves without giving back to those they depend on, the greater their moral depravity.

And the failure of malls and shopping centers has far less to do with crime and more to do with Amazon.
There are a few problems with Senile Satan’s post. The biggest is that he’s deploying troops to the Miracle Mile shopping center in Chicago. There’s no such thing. There’s one in LA and one in NY.
