One child disappears every 8 minutes or so in India according to Wookiiepedia.

Seven is a magic number.

490, not so much.

Some kind of fish, I would guess.

I would check Catturd out for parasites, though.

Don’t forget “Eat More Fiber.”

I doubt he made any predictions on how long it would last.

In those days, people married, had large families, and didn’t live long, so the prospects would have seemed good for Social Security. Different generations lived together under one roof, so Social Security would be a supplement to savings and to what younger family members earned.

There would have been no reason why FDR would think that the system would collapse at some point. Social Security did a lot to break up the very social and economic conditions that made it seem like a good bet at the time, but few foresaw that in the Thirties.

Many times in the Bible, God punished His people for what they did, so that verse in the Bible isn’t a blank check for all the actions by the Israeli government. Jews who recognize that get a hard time from Netanyahu supporters, here and elsewhere.

We effectively did that 200 years ago with the Monroe Doctrine.

Is that the glob that is slowly making its way to New York City?

Stuff like this never happened before Obama and Biden built the interdimensional railroad ...

They were veterans. VA home loans. GI Bill.

They were also children of the Depression, not of recent decades.

Is that the new season of "Downton Abbey"?

America’s not going to “pull the plug” on Israel, but I do wish someone would “pull the plug” on Lindsey.

I’m no expert, but the chain of command for the National Guard is different from that of the regular army and other services, isn’t it? The head of the DC National Guard is directly subordinate to the president. So I doubt the joint chiefs and other generals could do much in this matter, apart from encouraging mutiny by guardsmen not under their command.

Very good ... for a “guess” ...

I wonder if Hunter is kicking himself now for not being able to get a set-up like Epstein’s.

Your dad can only be president for so long, but Epstein kept the grift going for decades.

Hunter had the whores and blow; he just needed the sponsors.

That was the rumor. Nobody has any real proof and it doesn’t seem too likely.

Vesco died in Havana in 2007.

Call Joe Biden.

Tell him to bring his chain.

Cornpop’s back.
