That's because if he loses he's going to prison.
Black people going to save America, again.
He's afraid to compete against a black woman.
No, it's inappropriate because she's black. It's a dog whistle.
Or other animals. I don't see why you can't bring any animal you want to the animal dance. Yeah sure like maybe an alligator won't make a very good dancer, but why would somebody bring a partner that has no chance of winning?
This just reminded me that there's an amusement park near where I grew up where back in like the twenties and '30s and stuff, the idea of entertainment was to force a horse to run up a giant ramp out above a lake, maybe 50 feet up and have it jump into the water as a high diving horse.
Bah. I had an Ego trimmer that was defective and part of it ended up melting in my hand and breaking in half. The woman at Ego customer service was surprised, said "wow, are you physically hurt at all?"
Obviously, I said "I'm fine, it's just my ego is damaged." She laughed so hard I'm sure she never heard it before. Man, so rare to find someone's specific sense of humor so quickly. We had a good laugh. Then she denied my warranty claim. Jk, it got replaced.
Tulsi is a Russian operative. She will not be shutting up. She wants Trump to win.
I hope there are none only because I can't think of a challenger that would have a chance, for it to not be anything more than a counterproductive waste of time and capital.
That too. Only a matter of time before his old ass lets that one slip out on live TV.
Maybe for like two days, for the risk of infection.
Donald surely has delayed healing due to his old age and weakened constitution.
Give it here I'll drink it.

Going to be a 54 minute MyPillow infomercial, now.
Call them neo neo Nazis.
Maybe I'll have to give it a listen. Disgusted me to see Sean O'Brien up there.
In 2016, I heard something about Harris that has stuck with me and which speaks to what kind of person she is. She married her husband Doug Emhoff in 2014. At that time, Doug had two teenage kids already, a son and daughter. They apparently love Kamala, and call her Momala.
Anyone who's on loving terms with their teenage step kids must be pretty decent, in my book.
It seems like you're talking about viruses that are new to us, unadapted as you've said.
I would suggest that the concern is more for these viruses that don't need to adapt, such as polio. Viruses that humans have been getting all along, but now the melting permafrost is a new, surprise vector. As well, there are viruses that are perhaps unknown to us, but which were not unknown to our ancestors. Such a viruses may be laying dormant in the permafrost, and ready to wipe us out. No adaptation required.
One vector is that it can lay trapped in permafrost for millenia. And the permafrost is melting.
Olympic Breakdancing? Yes. Paris 2024 games.
Just caught some Olympic qualifying finals for breakdancing?! Kazakhstan versus Netherlands. They both crushed it and Netherlands won. I thought the Kazaki won the whole thing with his opening move in the final bout.
I haven't read these links yet but apparently this is the first games that will feature break dancing.

I can't seem to find a video of the bout. Very cool to see breaking at the world level.
I've enjoying seeing how the games have evolved over my short life. I remember when Johnny Mosely pulled that perfect helicopter (360°) at mens moguls in Nagano in 1998 and it completely changed the sport of skiing. It launched entire categories of competitive skiing: freestyle, big air, and half pipe, eventually became Olympic events. I'm not really a big Olympics fan or anything, just wanted to share the news about breakdancing for Paris 2024. Can you believe it?
US aircraft carrier counters false Houthi claims with 'Taco Tuesdays' as deployment stretches on - AP
The USS Dwight D. Eisenhower may be one of the oldest aircraft carriers in the U.S. Navy, but it’s still fighting — despite repeated false claims by Yemen’s Houthi rebels.
> “I think it’s been about two or three times in the past six months we’ve allegedly been sunk, which we have not been,” Hill told The Associated Press during a recent visit to the carrier. “It is almost comical at this point. They’re attempting to maybe inspire themselves through misinformation, but it doesn’t work on us.”

Massachusetts filed civil rights charges against the hate group. NSC-131 demonstrators unfurled a banner reading: “We’re not going anywhere.”
Comment on Headline: I don't know if swarm is the right word, I think that implies they entered the home? I guess a group of insects is a swarm whether it's inside or out. They had their Nazi party in the street, and the governor's home is protected at all times by state police.
...................................
> Dozens of Neo-Nazis demonstrated outside the home of Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey (D) on Saturday night, in an intimidating display of hate. Members of the group NSC-131 — which seeks to create a white-only ethnostate in New England — marched Saturday night through the Boston suburb of Arlington, uniformed in khakis, black jackets, face masks, and baseball caps.
> The NSC-131 members moved under cover of darkness, co-opting the progressive activist chant, “Whose streets? Our streets!” The neo-Nazis then lined up on the sidewalk across the street from the Healey’s home, which was protected by state troopers. The group’s members lit red traffic flares, and held these aloft with stiff arm Hitler salutes. They unfurled a banner reading: “WE’RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE.”
> The action by NSC-131 was an in-the-streets response to civil rights charges brought against the group by the state late last year. A 26-page complaint was lodged by Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell (D) in December. Campbell denounced the group’s efforts to “target and terrorize people across Massachusetts and interfere with their rights,” and insisted the state of Massachusetts is dedicated to “holding this neo-Nazi group and its leaders accountable.”
> That legal complaint hits NSC-131 for actions that “unlawfully target and disrupt LGBTQ+ events,” including drag queen story hours; “unlawfully target immigrants based on race and national origin,” including by trespassing at hotels where asylum seekers have been offered temporary housing; “unlawfully attack members of the public,” with frequent brawling at NSC-131 marches; and for numerous efforts to “disrupt public peace and safety.”

Maura Healy was an aggressive lawyer for a long time before she was governor. I'm sure the AG is no exception.
Interesting that they think they are the ones not going anywhere in the state where America drew its first breath of liberty. Fuck Nazis.
The court weighed in on a dispute between the Biden administration and Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, who installed the wire in an effort to prevent illegal border crossings.
"The brief order noted that four conservative members of the nine-justice court would have rejected the government's request. They were Justice Clarence Thomas, Justice Samuel Alito, Justice Neil Gorsuch and Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
The Biden administration says the wire prevents agents from reaching migrants who have already crossed over the border into the U.S.
Texas Gov. Gregg Abbott, a Republican, installed the razor wire near the Rio Grande at Eagle Pass as part of an operation to address illegal immigration that has brought the state into conflict with the Biden administration.
Texas sued after Border Patrol agents cut through some of the razor wire, claiming the agents had trespassed and damaged state property.
A federal judge ruled for the Biden administration, but the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals last month reversed that decision, saying agents could not cut or move the wire unless there was a medical emergency.”

Comment: I am unsurprised by this decision. The Constitution clearly grants immigration authority to the federal power.
Here is the order: https://www.supremecourt.gov/orders/courtorders/012224zr_fd9g.pdf
The U.S. has officially expanded its geographical territory by one million square kilometers -- an area nearly 60 percent the size of Alaska.
Excerpt:
”In a historic move, the United States has officially expanded its geographical territory by one million square kilometers — an area nearly 60 percent the size of Alaska. The catalyst for this territory expansion lies in the redefinition of the U.S. continental shelf boundaries.
By invoking international law, the State Department has outlined new areas under the sea where the continental shelf, a seabed area surrounding large landmasses with relatively shallow waters, extends further than previously recognized.
This monumental addition is spread across seven distinct ocean regions, with over half of the new territory located in the Arctic.”
.........
1,000,000 square kilometers! I know, nobody knows how much area that is, what even is a kilometer? But it's an important area of the world, gives us a legit claim to keep Russia out of the area, and takes ownership of tons of natural resources.
The Arctic may be the cradle of the future of humanity, as the rest of the planet becomes to warm to inhabit.
Further reading: America's Arctic strategy: https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/sites/default/files/docs/nat_arctic_strategy.pdf
"We seek an Arctic region that is stable and free of conflict, where nations act responsibly in a spirit of trust and cooperation, and where economic and energy resources are developed in a sustainable manner that also respects the fragile environment and the interests and cultures of indigenous peoples."
Of course if the Republicans win again the strategy just reverts to "drill baby drill" and Trump will probably sign Alaska over to Russia as a gift.
Looking for a thermometer or home weather center with indoor and outdoor temp sensors, and that can record and export the data, does anyone know of such a device?
Title. Having some issues with inadequate heat in an apartment and need to compile some hard data. Can't seem to find something that checks all the boxes. Needs to be under $100.
Thank you.
Edit: Needs to be friendly enough for an old lady to be able to plug it in and turn it on.
