I thought the delusion of American invincibility had died with Pearl Harbor. Or at the very latest, with 9/11.

She is the embodiment of pointless snark and nothing she says is worth hearing.

So then I'm guessing no help needed from Ukraine after all? Cool cool cool

This is why I get a lot of my news from Al Jazeera. While US mainstream media sat on the story of the Iranian girls' school getting bombed, media abroad were all over it.

Religion used to be regarded as a more private matter. The Pledge of Allegiance did not contain the words "one nation under God" until 1954. They were added as a rebuttal to Communism.

What impact does a viral infection have on our memory, attention, and concentration? The COVID-19 pandemic has reignited interest in this question, which has now been extended to other infections such as HIV, herpes, and hepatitis. A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and Geneva University Hospital (HUG) reviewed over 900 scientific articles exploring the links between the immune system and cognitive functions. This analysis, published in Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, has identified several biological markers associated with cognitive decline in the context of infection. It also provides a solid foundation for future research.

With all that in place, the US still has to appeal to Ukraine, which continues to take down drones with far greater efficiency.

What a twerp. Our species began in Africa. Western civilization borrowed much from other, older civilizations.

I honestly don't care which way it went, I'm just sick of the time changes. People will adapt. Look at the regions where people are living with almost round-the-clock light or dark for months at a time.

More hours of blather and obfuscation to follow. I don't know how the committee members sit through it without throwing things.

As always, self-incrimination? Or perjury? That is the question.

The issues addressed are serious; the person testifying is not. I think he's treating each with the appropriate amount of seriousness.

More like "fact" based on a feeling

She can't answer the question without either (a) incriminating herself, or (b) perjuring herself. But these transparent attempts to avoid and deflect are fooling no one.

"It's not a war." "It's been a war for 47 years."

Talking out of both sides of their mouths. Equally absurd and dishonest either way.

Because fundamentalist MAGA Christian cultists are more likely to support it if it'll bring them closer to getting airlifted straight to heaven, and they honestly don't care what happens to anyone else.

And to correct what the author said at the start of this piece, we've entered the seventh year of the pandemic, not the sixth.

I'm just reading Bob Woodward's book about Trump's first term and it perfectly supports this hypothesis.

Of all the lousy reasons to bomb a country (or for anything, really), Trump's instincts have got to be the worst.
