Welcome back from the brink, green turtles! Still plenty of work to be done, but conservation efforts are winning!

(This is also one of my wife's fav animals 😊)

Okay, so now I have perspective.

This is from a deal in 2017 when Trump was president.

It's not building a new base, but building facilities on an existing base to support trainees.

According to the article, Singapore military trainees have been there since '09. We likely do this at other bases.

Thank you. That gives some perspective and clarification.

So this is from a deal in 2017 when Trump was president.

And it's not building a new base, but building facilities on an existing base to house trainees.

According to the article, Singapore military trainees have been there since '09.

I have little doubt they'll drop their ruling on the way out the door today, and it won't be good.

This is going to be a hard SCOTUS session.

There honestly needs to be a completely new trial. The lead investigator now believes in his innocence. TX isn't known for its pardons, so how many more stays can he get? Still, #goodnews that he got another.
