Men are microwaves. Women are crockpots. You cannot rush a crockpot or you'll get nothing but tough meat and resentment.

LINCOLN wishes he had these numbers. WASHINGTON couldn't have them. To have numbers like these, you have to be a VERY STABLE GENIUS who KNOWS MORE ABOUT BUSINESS AND THE ECONOMY THAN ANYONE. ALSO, MY PENIS is VERY LARGE, not MUSHROOM-SHAPED and MY FATHER LOVED ME AND KNEW I WAS GREAT.

We started a trade war with these people because the president, who has some sort of degenerative brain disease with visible bruises on his hand's injection site that the press doesn't talk about, was bored.

Officials in Denver advised residents earlier this week that if they saw a commercial jetliner flying above downtown, accompanied by fighter jets, not to worry: It was a tribute for people who died in the Sept. 11 attacks. On Wednesday, United Airlines officials canceled the planned flyover.
A Flyover for 9/11 in Denver, With a United Jet and F-16s, Is Called Off
The company said the flyover was meant to be a “meaningful gesture to honor the memory of those lost within the pilot community.”

imo it would be better if the president were not crazy.
Yesterday the president of the United States posted to Truth Social seven consecutive "Truths" showing different maps of the American Southwest with "New Mexico" replaced by "New America." He then posted an image showing the US flag superimposed over all of North America, Greenland, and Iceland.

Dolly Parton supported so many important causes, among them donating a million dollars to COVID vaccine research early in the pandemic, which saved millions of lives. She will always be remembered as a champion of the people.

I think that Dolly Parton was, for a lot of people, an ambassador of the "good" values people think of about the South: kindness, hospitality, can-do spirit, sharp and witty and down to earth. I think for a segment of people, too, she was theantithesis of a lot of noxious masculine country stuff.
I think the universal grieving comes in no small part from the fact she represented the best of what America could be, and that she never stopped chasing that ideal, artistically and socially
