Real genealogist would be repulsed by my speculation. I, however, prefer to take the facts and imagine what happened; historical fiction. As my father often said, “Never let the facts get in the way of a good story.” It is true that those were the Pinckney and Townsend pews when they were teenagers.
I exist because of people like you. In the mid-1700s my 4th-gt grandfather William Pinckney’s family had the pew center left in front of the pulpit. Freelove Townsend, my 4th-great grandmother, sat in the pew upper right next to the pulpit. Had they not been making eyes during the boring services .
Don’t tax the rich to punish them for being rich. Tax them more because they should pay a fair share of our investment in the future — the investment in physical and human capital, like schools and roads and basic science — because they are the ones who will profit the most from it.
Mine, on the other hand, is the opposite. It is only right in the summer.

When the Supreme Court allowed immigration agents to consider race during sweeps, Justice Brett Kavanaugh said that citizens shouldn’t worry because if they’re detained, agents will “promptly let the individual go.”

For these Americans, that wasn’t true.
More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And…

Absolutely. People forget when you sue for defamation truth is a defense. Defendant can subpoena documents/witnesses to prove you did it. They can force you to turn over your files and answer questions under oath. And because it a civil action you you filed, there is no pleading the 5th Amendment.

Michael Wolff vs. Melania Trump: See you (and your husband) in court.
We took the India-Pacific and the Ghan.

What Americans need to realize is that Australia is essentially the size of the contiguous 48.
We spent 7 weeks doing Australia. Only 17 of 51 nights in big cities. We barely scratched the surface. (Never made it to Tasmania ☹️)

Congressman Joseph Neguse serving as the U.S. representative for Colorado's 2nd district put the Government Shutdown into perfect perspective. His statement here should resonate with American's from all walks of life.
What a great postseason this has been.
Yes, but the Rockies . . .
What a great series for those of us without a dog in hunt.
What a great series. The entire postseason was fabulous. And I have no reason to hate either team. Both worthy of admiration.
Understood. My condolences.

But for those of us without a dog in the hunt, this has been a fabulous postseason.

BTW I can’t find anything to hate about either team. The only thing that had me leaning either way is that my grandson looks like Shohei Ohtani.
What a spectacular game. Series. Entire postseason. Wow.
Clearly the American people are not his target audience.
I have a mental picture.
Well, he wasn’t called “Randy Andy” for nothing.
