The U.S. is not just for highly intelligent nerds. It’s for everyone who wants a better life. 🇺🇸
Is it (1) short term memory loss related to progressing dementia, or (2) just Trump doing what he’s always done: denying objective reality whenever it conflicts with current self-interest?

You are ABSOLUTELY NOT going to regret listening to this bird:
A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage.

Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.

A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).

A new type of cat coat color has been officially recognized. Named “salmiak,” or “salty liquorice,” the hair strands start out black and become white the further they grow from the follicle. This unique color is caused by a recessive genetic mutation.

I don’t care how reliable the intelligence is concerning the alleged criminal activities of the people being blown to smithereens in the Caribbean. The point is that even very reliable intelligence is no substitute for a jury verdict handed down after a trial in open court.
