Labour strikes aren’t new!
The first recorded strike in history took place in Egypt some 3,200 years ago!

When I was a kid, when there was leftover pie crust, Mom would put cinnamon sugar over it, roll it up, slice it, and bake it.
After she died, my MIL started doing it. 💖
At Thanksgiving this year she made the pinwheels and then ate them all and confessed to me. 🤣

Agree totally. When the Congress and the POTUS go to the DEMs in 2028, it will be riveting to hear this WORD SALAD KING get pulverized by data and experts. Wonder if the system will let him choose his cellmate after his conviction?
There’s no other way to spin it.
The strikes are murder. They’re illegal. And they put our troops at greater risk.

The Supreme Court just gave the OK for a very racist gerrymander in Texas. California is very safe. A new low for the Supreme Court, Especially judge Thomas.

A bubble coral shrimp (Hamopontonia physogrya).
This species is very small, typically less than 1 cm long. It is often found in bubble corals. The shrimp helps clean the corals of parasites and debris, while being provided with shelter in return.
