The romantic ruins of Dunskey Castle, perch on cliffs looking over the North Channel to Ireland. Built in the 14th C by the Adairs, the castle was burnt in 1489 by Cutter McCulloch of Myrton and rebuilt in 1510.

The Constitution clearly gives Congress the power to spend taxpayer funds, and no law allows the president to halt if he feels some US states aren’t being β€œgood stewards” of the money.

In case there’s any confusion on this, the Impoundment Control Act forbids it.

Taxation without representation.

#NowPlaying Seeing the evening out with Thomas Tallis. "Spem in Alium" still sounds like nothing else on Earth, a beautiful multi-faceted jewel of a piece; in one sense almost impossible to get hold of and, yet, managing to be perfectly logical in construction at the same time.
