Sunday Smiles – HotAir

I was looking for a topic for my Sunday Smiles essay when I came across a story that was simultaneously frustrating and a perfect example of how little you should trust politicians and activists.  https://t.co/1PvAUMO0Qw — i/o (@eyeslasho) March 14, 2024 Sonoma County, California has declared Racism a public health emergency because of the shocking […]

This morning’s Gospel reading is John 11:1–45: Now a man was ill, Lazarus from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. Mary was the one who had anointed the Lord with perfumed oil and dried his feet with her hair; it was her brother Lazarus who was ill. So the sisters sent word […]

Why is Elon Musk Building Spy Satellites for the US? – HotAir

The answer(s) to the title question are probably fairly obvious.

Notes from the Sticks: Slugs and snails – a lifelong love
