I scored 100% on the COVID competency exam.

Do not try your disinformation on me.

Do. Not. Try.

Why are the Dems waiting for Mike Johnson to do his job?! That’s a futile exercise.

I did a lot of kids’ clothes but I have a pair of Fjallraven pants that my cycle seat ripped the butt of, that I am hoping to do some crazy stitching and patching of. But my pace is much slower than in 2021

The school board tried to ban books years ago. The list included the usual books but one book in particular caught my eye. It’s a book I have. I realized the would-be banners had no idea what was in the book & had not cracked its spine. It was Making It with Mademoiselle. Wanna guess what’s in it?

They went after IU too

London hits clean air milestone 184 years early - ULEZ makes 'big difference'

A professor has branded the success a 'truly remarkable turnaround for the city's air quality'

Anyone who didn’t see them blowing little boats out of the water and immediately interpret that as a warning to all Americans to tow the line needs to pull their head out of the sand
