I did a quick check this morning on the tubes, bottles, and packages gathered around my bathroom sink. Many of them show that they were manufactured in a foreign company (Canada, Israel, S. Korea, to name a few).

If Greenland is acquired by the US, will it's residents become American citizens? If yes, Greenland would bring in mostly Inuit people (89.7%). By the way, nearly everyone speaks one of the Inuit dialects. I'm not worried. Americans can always make themselves understood by TALKING LOUDLY.

One way to think about the DOGE effort is it's an outgrowth of 20 years of hardliner conservatives frustrated by their inability to get the votes in Congress to do what they want to do. 1/

Aspiring lieutenant governor penned 479 page flat Earth screed
Interestingly for a candidate for lieutenant governor, Dean Odle’s 2019 book is filled with conspiratorial tales of a flat Earth.
