Time for a discussion of Absement. Unless you are a fan of classical dynamics, a materials scientist, or design PID controllers, you've probably never heard of the term. It's the time integral of displacement, a measure of sustained displacement of an object from a fixed position, SI units of m⋅s.

This is Nazism. And the only reason some folks cannot see it is because they, themselves, are also dangerous fascists. This may be the most un-American statement ever uttered by a man currently serving as co-President of the United States. It spits in the face of everything America is.

Do we need to point out that a permanent pause is not a pause?
Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“

Don’t forget that *Trump’s own lawyer’s argument* to the Supreme Court in the immunity case was that the check on the President using his immunity to order criminal acts was that those under him would not follow illegal orders. Now it’s a crime for lawmakers to remind servicemembers of that?
The President doesn't want you standing up and speaking out against him, so he's coming after me to intimidate all of us.
But I won't back down — and neither should you.

While I generally love living in "Small town America"[tm], there are times it can be both a delight and an annoyance at the same time.
A good example is the annual Thanksgiving Pie Sale at a local village Library (village to remain anonymous).
It's $20 a pie, first-come, first-served.

Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump
US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.
