NEW: Emma Joyce died at 3 years old. The next year, her sister Ava Joan died. Then their brother died from the same complication of untreated diabetes that killed Ava Joan. Later, a fourth sibling died. Their parents believed in prayer, not medicine.

"A brand new CNN poll shows President Trump at an all time low in his approval rating... look at his net approval rating now with pure independents - it's negative 71 points! I mean, these are the deep depths of the ocean. You never see numbers like these. An 86 point shift away from the president!"

NEW: In late 2024, FBI investigators had enough evidence to launch a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins. Then Trump was reelected and eviscerated the FBI and DOJ teams handling public corruption probes.

I have it on good authority that Trump told everyone today that he is resigning immediately and is turning himself over to authorities. Vance could not be reached for comment.

LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

To those uninitiated fresh skunk spay is very different from hour old skunk spray. I didn’t even know what happened at first. Was too dark to see the skunk just an odd smell and unhappy dogs. Smell begins to change over the next hour or so

Crowd chants "Shame on you!" at Sen. Roger Marshall for his medical debt collection practice that experts called "extreme" and "unbelievably aggressive." Sen. Marshall, who is up for reelection this year, had 81 of his former patients arrested for struggling to pay their medical bills.

YES. Your president really said this. He thinks ALL Federal money should go to “defense”, and our State governments should tax us for health, education, roads and everything ELSE that Americans rely on government FOR. THINK about that BEFORE you VOTE. Don’t go by what they SAY. WATCH WHAT THEY DO!!

Made some modifications over the past week. Added an additional .030” to stroke of the piston valve and added bearings. Running much better

Got an old treadmill to take apart for the motor (variable speed brushed dc 1.5 hp) and power supply. These motors are great for shop tools (lathe, drill press etc) and are relatively easy to wire.

It’s that point in the summer where i start to lose the motivation to stay on top of the gardens. That means it’s time to allow the gals into the gardens!!!

I wonder if Lindsey Graham known what a short amount of time he had left if he still would have thrown away his legacy in service to Trump.

"When a Religion is good, I conceive that it will support itself; and, when it cannot support itself, and God does not take care to support it, so that its Professors are obliged to call for the help of the Civil Power, it is a sign, I apprehend, of its being a bad one." Benjamin Franklin

I wish it was possible for a nerdy, awkward, moral and hard working policy wonk to win elected office. Seems to me the required campaigning and public speaking weed out all the most qualified candidates.

Made my first steam engine. Always wanted a little model steam engine so gave it a shot. Simple single acting wobbler engine. Plan to make more complicated ones moving forward

Speaking of Nixon I always find it kind of surprising how little the crimes of his vp are talked about. Agnew was forced out because he had been accepting envelopes full of cash during his term as vp inside the White House. Agreed to resign to avoid prosecution
