Rep. Kelly announces plans to impeach Secretary Kristi Noem https://robinkelly.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/rep-kelly-announces-plans-impeach-secretary-kristi-noem “Secretary Kristi Noem is an incompetent leader, a disgrace to our democracy, and I am impeaching her for obstruction of justice, violation of public trust, and self-dealing. Secretary Noem wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area, and now, her rogue ICE agents have unleashed that same destruction in Minneapolis, fatally shooting Renee Nicole Good,” said Rep. Kelly. “From Chicago to Charlotte to Los Angeles to Minneapolis, Secretary Noem is violating the Constitution while ruining—and ending—lives, and separating families. It’s one thing to be incompetent and dangerous, but it’s impeachable to break the rule of law. I told my constituents and Chicagoans that I would fight against Secretary Noem’s agenda. This is me fighting back.”

I recently finished Divinity 36 and am now on the second book in the trilogy. It is sci-fi, though definitely not typical sci-fi. It took me a bit to decide I liked it but I fell in love with the characters and now I am completely hooked. I’m also reading the Dungeon Crawler Carl series. I just started book 2. It is definitely targeted at folks who are gamers - specifically dungeon crawlers. I don’t know that it would be of interest to anyone here but I am loving them!

"You may have heard that Venezuela has the world’s largest oil reserves — 300 billion barrels. You probably don’t know that Venezuela’s reported oil reserves tripled while Hugo Chavez was president. This increase, from roughly 100 billion to 300 billion barrels, didn’t reflect major new discoveries or exploration. Instead, it reflected the Chavez government’s decision to reclassify the country’s Orinoco Belt heavy oil as “proved” — oil that can be recovered with reasonable certainty under existing economic and operating conditions:" P. Krugman This was followed by a graph showing the sudden jump in the numbers.

Government + AI, reminds me of the oxymoron "Military Intelligence".

Yeah, I am under the impression that Greenland has lots of ice. On to branding: Rename "Greenland" to "Trumpland," create a new chapter for "The Trump Purchase" in the history books -- bigger than the Louisiana Purchase at 828,000 sq. miles, Greenland has 836,000 sq. miles.

said in The Putinization of US foreign policy: That oil tanker the US has been chasing… They caught it.

The most depressing part of that story to me is that they claim someone born in 1945 is over 80 years old…

Ha ha ha

Resistance training three times a week will go much farther than waiting for a pill.

Let that be said for both parties. I thought it couldn't possibly be worse that Clinton-Trump. I was wrong.
