Sorry for the late OT post. Been really busy preparing for the coming heat wave hitting the PNW. I'm sure many of you are suffering your own temperature extremes and I wish you cool relief.

All the govt ever does is lie lie lie and it's OK as none of them ever go to jail
or are ever held accountable for the lies. Over a million people died and countless
others have who knows what happening to them....it's beyond criminal, it's pure evil.
funny money and disinformation

Submitted by ban nock on Sun, 07/24/2022 - 8:57amRecently a commenter was appalled that I hadn't read his link to an op ed in the Guardian. While I'm not required to read anything, I do often read the Guardian. Nonetheless an op ed is not a factual news article, it's an opinion piece, and you know what they say about opinions, everyone has one similar to other things that emit noxious gasses.
