I think more than what was going on with Epstein with him raping kids , we need to know why the US was protecting him.

A++++++ question there

At the urging of a crochet obsessed friend who was a master crocheter, I took up crochet and discovered it's the perfect companion to knitting. #MyCrochetStash

Americans stranded in the Middle East say the State Department hotline Marco Rubio told them to call plays a recorded message warning: “Please do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation at this time.”

Gorgeous! And 1300 yds of worsted. A great project to have in the stash, too.

Love that quote!!! A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle.

BREAKING: New York City reports the lowest levels of shootings, shooting victims, and murders ever recorded for the first two months of a year. Major crime is down nearly 8% citywide, burglary hit a record low, and retail theft dropped 25%

China is quietly smiling.

You notice how quiet China has been?

That's because you never interfere with an enemy who is in the process of destroying himself.

Our taxes

Our taxes are paying for this instead of healthcare.

Yes. Purl front and back.

Living at life well lived.

Nobel Peace Prize, my ass.

CNN confirming the F-15 went down in Kuwait — CENTCOM says it was actually 3 of them, calling it “a friendly fire incident”

At ~$350,000,000 worth of planes that’s some expensive “friendly fire”

Mark Warner: "I saw no intelligence that Iran was on the verge of launching any kind of preemptive strike against the United States. None."

Oh yes! We must be cousins or something. I am a shrimp but I can make a lot of noise.

I'm 70ish. I don't keep close track. I'm sure you can take an exercise class (reformer Pilates is my current one, twice a week), eat more berries and extend your life expectancy by a few more knitting projects.

Shop for yarn. Buy yarn. Road Trip to nearby town with yarn shop. Buy yarn there. Spend afternoon on Ravelry - decide on new project, review Projects and select a yarn you like, order it. Read a knitting book and learn something. Grab yarn, open a knitting book, and play w/ new techniques/skills.

Rubin: "There is at least one witness for whom 3 interviews with the FBI in in 2019 are missing [from the Epstein files]. What's the big deal? We can also confirm she is the same person who in a 2025 FBI presentation is identified as accusing Trump of a sexual assault when she was between 13 and 15"

What a lucky granddaughter and her mother!!! Beautiful!!

"People have to give birth in their homes in secret, because if they were to go to a hospital to have their baby, masked agents of the state would abduct them....This is lived reality right now. This is the country you live in."

JVL and Tim Miller on what they saw in Minneapolis.

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes.

$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst".

Renee Good and Alex Pretti were unavailable for comment….

Gallego: "They're going and racially profiling people and rounding up Americans until they can prove their citizenship. That money came from kicking millions and millions of Americans off Medicaid. It was the same bill. They cut Medicaid to expand ICE."

I hope John Roberts signed all his mortgage paperwork correctly
