If you look at a map, it’s downhill to get through the strait so just float the oil barrels down

It was 74Β° two days ago. Now it’s snowing.

Truly the greatest of the directional Joliets

The cheapest way would probably be the laser guided rockets that cost about $30K apiece. Of course you have to have an aircraft intercept the drone. The UAE shot one down the other day using a sidewinder which cost about $500,000.

1) was in the Navy shoveling coal on transports going across the Atlantic in WWI. He became a dentist. He was commissioned into the Army for WWII and did dental work stateside.

2) Commissioned into the Army for WWII. He was in the quartermaster’s corps and made major. Then had a career in finance.

It makes more sense if you see his argumentation as an audition for a judicial appointment.

I’d guess I’m more conservative than the median Blueskyer. Facebook seems to have picked up on that and now my feed there includes a smattering of racists and antisemites. It’s telling and sad that their algorithm codes conservative as racist.

I got a lot out of Scouting, and both my son and daughter are Eagle Scouts. I’m a current volunteer. Today I’m really disappointed in Scouting America.

In fairness, they never would have reoffended absent the pressure of being politically persecuted. They should probably get more pardons. /sarcasm

Lots of people who get to those positions seem to be. I lucked out with my BigLaw experience and had a great mentor. I only worked with a couple of difficult partners.
