I should note that this was NOT my original assumption. I assumed this was like Georgescu, or Khan in Pakistan or the arrest of Istanbul’s Mayor: politically motivated bullshit, designed to make sure a popular politician can’t run and either disproportionate or a stitch-up.

Close to Chingford Station in the suburbs of east London and along a path leading into Epping Forest, large iron gates stand at the entrance to Hawkwood Plant Nursery. Rows of fruit and vegetables are planted all around. Fields replete with raised beds and a forest garden provide the backdrop to a large glasshouse connected […]
“The COVID-19 pandemic is over, and H.H.S. will no longer waste billions of taxpayer dollars responding to a nonexistent pandemic that Americans moved on from years ago.” — Andrew Dixon, spokesperson for the Department of Health and Human Services.

We in the federal government have recently unearthed a scandal of epic proportions: During the previous administration, trillions of taxpayer dollars were wasted on “programs” intended to “help” “people.” Effective immediately, this administration vows not to waste any taxpayer money on anything, because nothing is real.
Do you have any idea how much taxpayer money the government has been spending on “education”? Neither do I, but I know it’s not zero dollars. And here’s the thing: Education is free.
(To be clear, the school where my kids go is not free. That’s why we need vouchers to pay for it.)

Yinz remember my friend Jenny in the UK? She’s the super-cool girl who runs Silver Screen Suppers and wrote a bunch of books: She is currently working on a sequel to Murder, She Cooked (a book of recipes from celebrities who appeared on the Angela Lansbury show) and asked me to do a recipe testContinue reading Tippi Hedrin’s Lobster “Mirin” and Golden Potato Salad (1970)
You’ve probably wondered about me, the independent thinker in your social network. I’m one part libertarian, one part populist, and one part common sense. I care about the same things you do: a backyard BBQ with my neighbors, my family’s safety, and the sanctity of women’s collegiate swimming.
I’m a maverick who can’t be pigeonholed. I listen to not only smooth jazz but slightly less smooth jazz. I’ve been red-pilled, but I think The Matrix was just okay. I voted for Trump, but I respect Democrats like John Fetterman who are willing to reach across the aisle to promote ethnic cleansing. And I’m still a Bernie fan, even though I openly mock AOC and Elizabeth Warren for subscribing to 90 percent of the same policies, for reasons, I assure you, I will never ask myself a single hard question about, because I’m not bound by your restrictive mental framework.
A Wisconsin judicial election could become a huge payoff for Tesla and a disaster for the courts.
What is it that people desire when they desire riches? It may seem strange that once all basic needs are fulfilled, individuals would continue to strive for ever more, working ever harder, even at the cost of their own health. Why don’t they just enjoy life, with more time, and less stress, on their hands? […]

Leaked documents reveal how UK firm Hunnewell Partners, controlled by alleged enablers of Georgia’s ruling oligarch, facilitated a top Putin crony’s attempts to exploit the collapse of a more than $1.5bn corruption scheme in Uzbekistan
Med denna metodologiska ansats är det alltså möjligt att ”bevisa” att kvinnor i jämförelse med män, låginkomsttagare i jämförelse med höginkomsttagare och yngre i förvärvsarbete jämfört med äldre i förvärvsarbete utgör ”offentligfinansiella kostnader”, och detta enligt samma logik och metod som används inom forskningen om ”invandringens kostnader”. Den logiska konsekvensen är att en befolkning bestående […]
Young man, it’s time we had a talk. Your mother and I have never wanted to be those kind of strict, clueless parents who can’t understand what young people are into “nowadays,” but I have to put my foot down. You are forbidden from joining that rowdy, no-good Zorba the Greek fan club. No ifs, ands, or buts about it!
Because I said so, that’s why.
Oh, you think you’re grown up enough to deserve some reasons? Well, if that were really the case, you wouldn’t have to be told to stay away from a bunch of Kazantzakis-worshipping juvenile delinquents. You’d be mature enough to realize that they’re nothing but a bunch of morons drunk on ouzo and the Academy Award–winning cinematography of Walter Lassally.
And don’t think I don’t know about that bouzouki you’ve got stuffed under your bed. Do you really think you could sneak a trichordo in this house without making your mother cry?
