Why commute and work when you can just work? Enlightened managers understand this.

It takes effort to make a relationship work. When one half of a pair can take time out to take care of the household, things become much easier.

“We determine that this local law was enacted in violation of the New York State Constitution and Municipal Home Rule Law, and thus, must be declared null and void,” Paul Wooten, associate justice of the Appellate Division for the Second Judicial Department in New York, wrote in the Wednesday ruling. The court’s 3-1 ruling determined that the state’s constitution clause that reads “every citizen shall be entitled to vote” only referred to U.S. citizens.

Because to allow otherwise is to allow foreign influence over our elections, and therefore undermines democratic rule.

Meanwhile, Air Force leadership is saying nothing about his last words, “Free Palestine”.


Because it’s “under investigation”, no doubt. Which it should be, any time an airman endangers force readiness and contradicts the established policy of his Commander in Chief.

This is a window shift. The focus shouldn’t be on Biden’s age, or Trump’s, but rather the state of their mental health. Clearly, Biden is worse in that regard.

Such a law would be nice here in Arizona. Such a law would also be ignored here in Arizona, much like all the other traffic laws.

Neil deGrasse Tyson: Pluto Could Become A Planet Again Thanks To Arizona

On Monday, the State House of Representatives passed HB 2477, which “establishes Pluto as the state planet of Arizona.”
…
HB 2477 now heads to the Arizona Senate for consideration.

But have no fear, NdGT, Cartel Katie has your back and will probably veto it.

No sense in preventing voter fraud when you can just declare your enemy guilty and seize his guns beforehand: Stop ‘insurrection’ threat with gun control: Johns Hopkins report. Original foolishness here, and its just as stupid as you can imagine.

But read it nonetheless, for it is wise to know the ways of your enemies.

Hopefully they’ve avoided the problems that plagued the M16 at its introduction. But we’re dealing with bureaucrats, so anything’s possible, except efficiency.
