Wild River, Ghost Lake
Drought is a crisis for the West. But it has also resurrected a long-lost desert river.

Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

The boat strikes are illegal. Dope couriers are not military combatants. So killing them with air strikes instead of arresting them is murder. It’s that simple.

Begging reporters to make this distinction. She did not "cite" the Bible, she *invoked* the Bible.
"Citing" is this: "According to the Genesis account, 'In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth'" (Genesis 1:1, KJV)."
Just saying "the Bible says" before your claim isn't citing.

There literally wasn't a single citation given. Even when she referred to the Bible--the ONLY text she refers to by name--she couldn't even cite which verses she quoting.
I was an English student at OU. I can fuckin guarantee that any one turning in an essay like this--Bible or no--would get a 0.

Drug trafficking is not an act of war. This whole idea that these boats can kill millions of Americans is fantasy land. It's based on a fake statistic about fentanyl. And they're not going to the US and they're not carrying fentanyl.
It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.
