Admiral Bradley needs to go NOW. That he had to consult anyone before sending the 2nd bomb shows that he doesn't give a damn about the law. He should have sent in rescue personnel to remove the two shipwrecked individuals to safety and questioning. I am so ashamed of my country right now.

Purveyors of all of the medical misinformation should be arrested and convicted of child endangerment. The #WhiteSupremacyParty (aka GOP) has dumb down education to an extreme extent.

Leftover cranberry sauce? That’s like leftover wine, never happens at our place. I use fresh or dried cranberries, orange juice and sour cream to make muffins all the time.
My friend told me she always bakes muffins with her leftover cranberry sauce, and I was amazed that had never occurred to me.

So I looked up a recipe for cranberry coffee cake. Will be trying that tomorrow.

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.

If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.

It’s that simple.

Here @azcentral.com is a pertect example of your lazy reporters. They didn't ask the second question, can lights be left up around trees, etc., and not turned on! Which many, many do - especially those here only in the winter.

Is it illegal to keep Christmas lights up all year in Arizona?
Many Arizonans are installing their holiday light displays. After all that work, you may want to just leave them up all year. But is it legal?

Just one I would like to see @nbcnews.com or anyone else do a poll where people who say college isn't worth it would have to list their degrees! www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...
Poll: In a dramatic shift, Americans no longer see four-year college degrees as worth the cost
The latest NBC News poll shows two-thirds of registered voters down on the value proposition of a degree. A majority said degrees were worth the cost a dozen years ago.

OK, how the hell did Apple AutoCorrect get ‘Bryan’ from ‘bring a’ is beyond me.
Can I Bryan couple bottles of wine 🍷 instead. It is cool now in Arizona so we have received several bottles from small wineries we ❤️.
