To wrap around head to keep it from exploding.
It's being reported that Americans being evacuated from Afghanistan are being charged up to $2000 for the privilege of getting out of the mess their government left them in.
Yet thousands of illegals are being bused and flown all over the US for free.
Well. My actual given name is a bit unusual. Mom said that it was made up by my maternal grandmother and given to Mom's hydrocephalic sister who didn't survive birth. OK, so I got named after someone who died. Sigh.
Today I was calling around trying to find a vet to see one of my kitties, Artie. One of the emergency vet office receptionists answered with her first name. Pause. Me: "Excuse me, but what did you say your name was?" ... Me: "That's MY name!" Turns out her mother's name is the same. Her family history says it's a name made up by a great-whatever-grandparent. I looked up where she says her family roots are. It's entirely possible that previous generations of our families crossed paths.
As to my grandmother saying she made up the name...she was hell on wheels and not completely attached to honesty. To say the least. Also probably mentally ill. Or Mom misinterpreted what she was told.
"Taliban fighters in the Afghan capital, Kabul, started collecting weapons from civilians on Monday because people no longer need them for personal protection, a Taliban official said.
“We understand people kept weapons for personal safety. They can now feel safe. We are not here to harm innocent civilians,” the official told Reuters."
She wasn't wearing a burqa.
Yesterday's speech: "The buck stops here." Also "It's Trumps fault. And the Afghani military's fault. And the Afghani government's fault."
To paraphrase from a favorite movie: "You keep using that phrase. I do not think you know what it means."
Stop saying "Buyer's remorse" about Biden voters. You don't get to be remorseful. You just get to OWN IT. There isn't a single thing that has happened since the election that those who were opposed to Biden didn't say would happen. The only surprise has been how fast it has happened.
Given that the covid vaccines are experimental, emergency use only, and the Nuremberg Code of 1947 clearly states that "The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential." it seems like any "mandatory" vaccine orders are clearly a violation of that code.
