I've no strong opinion about it, but if they decided to rename my suggestion would be Tomi Reichental who survived Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, moved to Ireland in 1959, and dedicated his later years to educating young Irish people about the Holocaust

As we get ready for a major winter storm in the Chicago suburbs, I recall that my wife has used the creme brulee torch I got her for Christmas years ago to fix the auger on our snowblower three times, and only made delicious, caramelized sugar custard desserts twice.

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

I'm not sure that this is what Scott Galloway had in mind when he advised young men to "prioritize real-world interactions over screen time."
Men will literally train for a year to enact an insane plan to invade a foreign island, kill the men, enslave the women and children, and live out their depraved racist rape fantasies, rather than go to therapy
NTX men planned to murder men, enslave women on foreign island: Indictment
Two North Texas men have been indicted for an alleged scheme to sail to a foreign island, murder all the men, and enslave the women and children.

oh Americans may not understand this, but a 'magistrate' in the UK is a local volunteer with typically no legal background. But it's ok, they receive about 10 days of training. And now they can send you to jail for two years without a jury!

The Atlantic & Vanity Fair only ever assign RFK Jr profiles to people who want to fuck him because nobody else can stomach the idea of lying to help him. He's an elderly nepobaby on a mission to kill as many children as possible before he dies, to leave the world more plague-ridden than he found it.

These people really care about the immigrants who live in their community. This is a beautiful thing.
In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

I think the Chinese have better things to be doing that spying on American moms' morning routines to undermine their way of life, like beating the US in clean energy and use soft power to expand their global influence.
HINSON: As a mom, I think about watching a baby monitor. That's a very intimate moment with your baby and to think the Chinese could be spying on your morning routine

BARTIROMO: Why are they spying on moms?

HINSON: They just want to know what Americans are up to to undermine our way of life
