Quote I

This time will then go down in history as the period in which the invader was actively invited in by a corrupt elite. And, not only did corrupt elites invite the enemy in, they made the native population pay for it too. Dutch commentator Eva Vlaardingerbroek

Quote II

“While a route through this week’s motion of no confidence was absolutely possible, I am not willing to trade my values and principles or do deals with whoever simply for retaining power… I have concluded that repairing our relationship across the political divide can only be done with someone else at the helm.” Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf

Once upon a time I purchased a particular breed of dog to be used for hunting. I did my research and I bought a puppy from a respected breeder. Of course the Murphy's have nothing over my surname. I took this wild and belligerent dog to a nationally known trainer for a month. After two weeks I received a call telling me I should come pick up my dog and that I probably should put it down.

At that time, there were not an abundance of "Rescue" facilities. And I certainly just couldn't euthanize this hound from hell. She wasn't mean or vicious. She just ran and ran and ran when off leash or outside a fenced yard. I won't get into thunder storms or fireworks.

So The Fabulous and I were blessed with this pooch until the sweet age of 15+.

Now that I got that out of the way it brings us to the story about South Dakota's governor Kristi Noem. I'm not saying what she did was wrong to her dog. But, I sure as hell wouldn't have told the world I killed a dog that wasn't on death's door.

There are only 2 camps here Sugar Tits. Those who understand and those who don't. And those who don't understand never will. And those who don't understand outnumber those of who do understand. And just because I understand what you did to a 14 month old doesn't mean I condone your actions.

Being overweight is not healthy. The medical term is not the problem. The problem is with people who do not accept reality.

UCLA medical school is under fire for forcing students to attend ‘health equity’ classes where ‘fat positivity’ is promoted, and reading material claims that the medical term ‘obesity’ is a slur “used to exact violence on fat people.”
