When my mother first became a snowbird at my house in Florida, she decided to learn how to use a computer by writing a cookbook for the family. Her cookbook is full of family stories and memories as well as recipes.

Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control.
All-seeing surveillance systems don’t make us safer. They are in direct opposition to our civil liberties.

Of course criminal slumlord Jared Kushner is behind Paramount’s hostile $108B bid to acquire Warner Bros.
Faking a Middle East peace mission and illegally accepting $2B from Saudi Arabia in exchange for US intel wasn’t enough for this crook. They should’ve jailed him long ago.

Yet again, actual data show wind and solar are the least expensive power on the grid (and getting cheaper by the day). So the Trump administration is just lying about that.
