Our Big Phat Pheasant Phriend, Phred, is back!

Probably a different Phred than of years past, but we always call him Phred.

Really cheers me up to see Phred walking tranquilly around our yard. He’s never in a hurry.

Дев'ятирічна Саша мріяла про спортивну кар’єру в художній гімнастиці.Але влітку 2022 року її життя змінилося —дівчинка отримала тяжкі поранення під час обстрілу російських окупантів й пережила ампутацію ноги.Її витягли з-під завалів у критичному стані,і лікарі врятували її життя.

Millions of Chinese people were stuck in a giant traffic jam for a whole day, trying to get home after the Golden Week holiday

The eight-day holiday turned the Beijing-Hong Kong-Macau highway into a total gridlock. Traffic came to a standstill, with millions of cars blocking 50 lanes.

No, it's not about fear or cowardice in this case. Its about HUGE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS being passed through people like Johnon's dark crypto accounts all the time. They are all 99 percent fueled by GREED, good christian GREED

The Government Employee Fair Treatment Act clearly requires that furloughed federal employees receive back pay after a shutdown. This wasn’t partisan when it passed, and it shouldn’t be a question now. Trump is spinning further out of control by the day. (1/2)

Shown Here:
Public Law No: 116-1 (01/16/2019)
Government Employee Fair Treatment Act of 2019
This bill requires employees of the federal government or a District of Columbia public employer who are furloughed or required to work during a lapse in appropriations beginning on or after December 22, 2018, to be compensated for the period of the lapse. The employees must be compensated on the earliest date possible after the lapse ends, regardless of scheduled pay dates. Employees required to work during the lapse in appropriations may use leave.

I honestly enjoy reading Russia's bot farm comments on my YouTube channel. I always block them... but it is fun to read their delusional ravings first.

Russia was suppose to win this war in 3 days. We are going on year 4 of the war. Russia will be defeated.

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened.

This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’
