I have lived through momentous times. My parents did not change, but the world around me did, school, church, and general society. People who are my age and do not understand what has happened are just plain stupid, and for people who are much younger I try to explain it bit by bit.
Andy solves Catriona Agg's (née Shearer's) geometry challenge and shows that algebra leads into geometry. Friday, Nov. 22, 1963...Just before lunch, our 6th grade teacher announced his death. Allen Dulles (Rep.) After the disaster of the Bay of Pigs Invasion, President Kennedy forced the resignation of Allen Dulles (April 7, 1893 - January 29, 1969) who was the first civilian Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) and longest serving director. As head of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) during the early Cold War, he oversaw many illegal activities. John McCone (Rep.) John McCone (1902, San Francisco - 1991, Pebble Beach) replaced Dulles as Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) on November 29, 1961. Piers Morgan is a Kling-On, and the CIA guys are protecting the CIA. Believe the older, seasoned guys (2). YT comment: "I'm now 64 and looking forward to reading the Epstein Files when I'm 126."

Jewish Rep. Jamie Raskin, who sponsored bills advocating same-sex marriage and repealing the death penalty, and supports abortion and IVF where a majority of babies die, and representing the great state of Maryland, named after Our Blessed Mother, sent a letter dated Feb. 6, 2025, to Mr. Edward Martin, Interim US Attorney DC, complaining about Martin's firing of more than a dozen 'excellent' career federal prosecutors on an explicitly political basis. "You, sir, are the definition of hypocrisy. There is a level in Hell waiting for you. Read Dante's Inferno. Hypocrites are punished eternally in the sixth bolgia (pit) of the eighth circle of Hell, known as Malebolge, where they wear heavy, gilded cloaks lined with lead, symbolizing outward appearances hiding inner corruption." https://democrats-judiciary.house.gov/uploadedfiles/2025-04-06_raskin_to_martin_dc_usao_re_firings.pdf "Black Keys" Bruce Liu won the 18th Chopin Competition in October 2021. The performance is part of his debut in France at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, where he devoted his concert to Chopin. Etude Op. 10, No. 5, one of the most popular etudes by Frédéric Chopin, is nicknamed the "Black Key Étude" as its right-hand part is entirely on black keys, except for one little note. The piece must be played fast, but Bruce has Polish elegance (you have to figure out what that is) and tenderness. I guess your teacher can look at you and say, "Yeah, you have it," or maybe it's just an internal thing.  Bar 66: F♮ (red) represents the only white key on the right-hand staff (in revised editions).

The base word, zodiac, comes from the Greek zōidiakòs (kuklos), meaning “(circle) of signs”. It ultimately comes from zōidion, meaning “animal sign” or “carved figure”, from zōion, “animal”. The word constellation comes from the Late Latin constellātiō, from Latin com-, meaning “together”, and stella, meaning “star”. Watch anthropology crushed.
The Catholic Church displays hundreds of deceased persons, their dressed bodies, bones, hearts, fingernails, and even a tongue. So, not one photo of these remains would be allowed in any journal. An "existential threat" refers to a danger

This may seem a minor discrepancy, but misrepresenting the unit count enabled her to secure more favorable loans, including a 2011 Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP) loan that saved her tens of thousands of dollars annually. Now, the same legal principles she used to prosecute others may be turning against her."

If you are looking for an appropriate description of Democrats, it would be cynical. The author/commentator is critical of, and distrustful of, the motives and sincerity of others. Even though humor might be used, a cynical tone conveys a negative attitude. Dystopian stories are cynical. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha has said that his country can achieve a “long-lasting, just peace” under Trump's leadership.
Ethical Capital Partners [ECP] is a Canadian private equity firm known for its acquisition of Aylo, the owner of Pornhub. The company is chaired by businessman Rocco Meliambro. The company was founded in 2022 in Montreal. In March 2023, ECP acquired Aylo for an undisclosed sum. The transaction occurred following a series of lawsuits against Aylo (formerly MindGeek) for hosting unlicensed or non-consensual content on its website.

The Laffer curve shows the relationship between tax rates and total tax revenue. The Laffer curve states that total tax revenue is not maximized when tax rates are at 100% because this disincentivizes workers from earning wages. In February 2023, one of Trevelyan's descendants, Laura Trevelyan, was stunned to learn that Rev. George Trevelyan was a slaveholder and announced a plan to travel to the Caribbean and apologize for the family's ownership of 1,004 enslaved Africans. Family members signed the apology for enslaving captives on six sugar plantations in Grenada. The Trevelyan family had received compensation from the British government in 1835 for the abolition of slavery a year earlier. -summary of Wikipedia White guilt.

When tasked with rooting out Pakistan-based insurgents in Afghanistan, little did he know he’d be facing 16 months of close combat against a seasoned force of light infantry. After receiving two Bronze Stars and the Purple Heart, the Pennsylvania native retired as a captain and is currently working on his Ph.D. in clinical psychology. Parnell recounts how the fight in Afghanistan reshaped his life and the lives of his men in his text Outlaw Platoon. -redstate.com (Trump won Pennsylvania.) https://grabien.com/profile?id=44227 Duquesne University BA History/Psychology 2002-2004 MA Clinical Psychology 2010-2012 43 And making a gathering, he sent twelve thousand drachms of silver to Jerusalem for sacrifice to be offered for the sins of the dead, thinking well and religiously concerning the resurrection,

Description: The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is suing the Indiana Department of Corrections on behalf of a transgender inmate, Jonathan C. Richardson, also known as Autumn Cordellioné, who was convicted of strangling his 11-month-old stepdaughter to death in 2001. (Indiana Department of Corrections/Getty Images) "The case, now in its second year, involves the inmate's request for sex reassignment surgery. The ACLU first filed the lawsuit against the Indiana Department of Corrections in 2023 on behalf of this person, challenging an Indiana law that prohibits the Department of Corrections from using taxpayer funds to cover sex reassignment surgeries for inmates. The ACLU argues the law is a violation of the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition of 'cruel and unusual punishment.'" By Jamie Joseph Fox News Published March 11, 2025 4:04pm EDT 03/15/2025
Budapest, Hungary The Hungary-Ukraine border is 84.9 miles long. Trinity Square is home to 13th century Matthias Church. The Christian Kingdom of Hungary was established in 1000 under King Saint Stephen. Capital Budapest is bisected by the River Danube. The 19th century Chain Bridge connects the hilly Buda district with flat Pest. A funicular, a cable railroad in which ascending and descending cars are counterbalanced, runs up Castle Hill to Buda’s Old Town, where the Budapest History Museum traces urban life from Roman times onward. Hungarians know their long history better than Americans theirs. His speech is like unto Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. The Ides of March is the 15th. |
