Vance needs to do a bit more research before mouthing off. The ringleader of the Feeding Our Future fraud scheme was a good-ole white 'merican - Aimee Bock.

The Supreme Court has already ruled on this issue allowing dual citizenship. She needs to do a bit of research before mouthing off.

When will America wake up and see Trump for what he really is - a re-incarnation of Roy Cohn. Everything he does is a zero-sum game. He is not interested in negotiation unless it's a win for him. Question is how does one deal with this re-incarnation?

What raging bigot Stephen Miller ignores, in employing this argument, is that the exact same argument was used by nativists to try to exclude his great grandparents.
Bigoted hypocrite, rightly denounced by his own family.

Stephen Miller Is an Immigration Hypocrite. I Know Because I’m His Uncle.
If my nephew’s ideas on immigration had been in force a century ago, our family would have been wiped out.

Eat a few stalks of celery. Contrary to popular belief, there is a net gain of calories, but the amount of water it contains, and fiber content contribute to satiety.

Both Texier and Blais are the type of player one needs for a playoff run. It will be difficult to hang on to them come playoff time if the injured ones return.

I'm concerned that when Dach, Newhook, and Laine are fit to return Texier and Blais will be put on waivers and get picked up by another team instead of heading to Laval.

The State of Science, Microbiology, and Vaccines Circa 1918
The influenza pandemic of 1918–1919 dramatically altered biomedical knowledge of the disease. At its onset, the foundation of scientific knowledge was information collected during the previous major pandemic of 1889–1890. The work of Otto ...

The vets on the team need to remind the young ones that the second period follows the first. Also, why is that the greatest ZERO of all, you know that orange-skinned slime from across that border, the capo dei capi, missing from your list?

I agree and cringe whenever I hear that word. What they really mean is "analyze". But that sounds too common or scientific or technical, and so, "unpack" has supplanted its use as the less technical approach. Whomever came up with it must think they are a new Shakespeare. Ugh!

Listening to the biblical stories was certainly a "revelation" as they reinforced my evolving skepticism of any mythological explanation of the natural world. They are no different than the fantasy literature. I draw the line when religious proponents want to substitute religion with creationism.

Many of us who attended elementary through high school in the English Catholic school system in Montreal had to sit through religion classes for many years. For me and many of my peers, it was a form of "immunization" against religion and played no part in my scientific career that began at McGill.

The critical factor determining whether they make the playoffs will be injuries. Thus far, the one to Laine has had little effect on the team's success. However, imagine the effect if Suzuki goes down for a few months.

Then give coaches only one per game and move the review away from Toronto - say LA so the time difference isn't an issue.
