That's just astonishing.
And yet, with the most recent spending bill, we are now squarely on track to achieve a sustained budget deficit of $1 Trillion. Meaning that the national debt, which is "only" at $22 Trillion at the moment, will increase by $1 Trillion per year.
That's just astonishing.

Yup... it'll all come crashing down around 2030 - 2034. Buy some acreage and learn to farm.

Ex-FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, who was fired after an investigation by the DOJ inspector general concluded he had made an unauthorized disclosure to the news media and “lacked candor — including under oath — on multiple occasions,” has been hired by CNN.

Patriarchy is at its most potent when oppression doesn’t feel like oppression, or when it is packaged in terms of biology, religion, or basic social needs.
Historically, women have been conditioned to believe that heterosexuality is natural or innate, just as they have been conditioned to believe that their main purpose is to make babies — and if they fail to do so, they are condemned as not “real,” or as bad, women.

This is what happens when you put lesbians in space. You get the first space crime.
First Crime in Space? Astronaut Reportedly Accessed Her Estranged Spouse's Bank Account From ISS
The astronaut's spouse, ex-Air Force intelligence officer Summer Worden, filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission claiming that NASA astronaut Anne McClain had committed identity theft, even though she saw no indication that her funds had been spent or moved.
McClain told investigators that she had accessed her spouse's bank account while on a six-month mission aboard the ISS while she prepared for her role in NASA's first all-female spacewalk. An investigation has been launched into what could be the first criminal allegation from space, according to a report by the New York Times.
A complaint was also submitted by Worden's parents who claim that apart from accessing her spouse's funds McClain carried out a "highly calculated and manipulative campaign" to gain custody of Worden's 6-year-old son after Worden filed for divorce last year.
McClain's lawyer says that his client denies having done anything wrong and was just monitoring Worden's account to make sure that the boy was well.
NASA investigators have been in touch with both women regarding the accusations, the New York Times reported.

Democrats: The Bible teaches Socialism! Jesus was a socialist!
Republicans: the Bible teaches us that life is sacred and that a baby in the womb is a life.

Dude, pretty much everyone who cites the Bible as evidence of support for their socio-political platform is doing so in a very narrow and selective way.
One of my favorite examples:
