The Lord has determined I am a woman. And my pronouns are U.S.A. 

Also, clearly not a grammarian.

Whenever I think I'm getting kind of weird,  Bambu helps put things in perspective.

Holy shit!

WaPo exclusive today:
Exclusive?

I mean are you that naive?


Three months before saboteurs bombed the Nord Stream natural gas pipeline, the Biden administration learned from a close ally that the Ukrainian military had planned a covert attack on the undersea network, using a small team of divers who reported directly to the commander in chief of the Ukrainian armed forces.

Details about the plan, which have not been previously reported, were collected by a European intelligence service and shared with the CIA in June 2022. They provide some of the most specific evidence to date linking the government of Ukraine to the eventual attack in the Baltic Sea...

You are citing the same source.

Did they also run a piece on how the freedumb caucus is now in the pocket of the electric stove racket?

A challenge by a Post columnist to Mr Bean's critique of EVs in a recent Guardian column.

https://archive.is/ihdUT

And here is Mr Bean s column which sets out the reasons he felt duped by electrics.


https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jun/03/electric-vehicles-early-adopter-petrol-car-ev-environment-rowan-atkinson

I will respond to replies that show the writer actually read the columns and absorbed the factual points without cherrypicking bits out of context.

You are a long, long way from being competent to drive. When you can manage to feed yourself, call back and we will see if we can find your keys.

Historical Note.


New England Dark Day occurred on May 19, 1780 when an unusual darkening of the daytime sky was observed over the New England states and parts of eastern Canada. The primary cause of the event is believed to have been a combination of smoke from forest fires, a thick fog, and cloud cover. The darkness was so complete that candles were required from noon on. It did not disperse until the middle of the next night.


AOC must have missed this date in American History.
Imagine that.

You should also note 1816, the Yesr Without Summer.

Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein during the gloomy, cold and snowy summer of 1816 as smoke from the eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia the year before (April, 1815) altered the climate of North America and Europe.

Weird.

What's weird is life in today's world.
*Nothing* is normal anymore.

First of all one has to answer the question being asked "What is a woman"?
