  • When asked if impeachment was a top priority, Jeffries said “of course not” during an appearance on “Fox News Sunday.”

    “I’ve made clear from the very beginning that our top priority is going to be to drive down the high cost of living,” the House minority leader added.

    “We believe in this country, you work hard, you play by the rules. You should be able to live an affordable life, a comfortable life, in fact, to live the good life, and that means a good paying job and good housing, good health care, good education for your children, and when it’s all said and done, a good retirement,” he added.

    Saying “we worked together” isn’t venerating JFC.

    venerate /vĕn′ə-rāt″/

    To regard with deep respect or reverence. synonym: revere. Similar: revere

    Not even close to the same thing.

    Saying “hey they might have cared a bit about institutions compared to maga” is not venerating.

    venerate /vĕn′ə-rāt″/

    To regard with deep respect or reverence. synonym: revere. Similar: revere

    Not the same meaning at all. Not even close.

    So no you didn’t find 96 people that fit that description.

    When you mingle meanings like that, I’m just gonna leave it at that.






  • It’s not wildly unlike a normal highway bridge. That’s about what they cost.

    Also

    Aside from the freeway overpass, the construction continues. Workers are building a second large structure that will bridge a local road and connect the overpass with the surrounding steep hillsides. Once that’s completed over the summer, they will haul in 3m cubic feet of soil – enough to fill half of the SoFi stadium – to bridge the gap between the overpass and the surrounding landscapes. The construction teams will also build berms to block out noise and light, and add wildlife-proof fencing along the freeway.

    I think it’s a generational thing. After WW2 and the Holocaust there was support for a Jewish homeland. And of course you couldn’t be seen as antisemitic. So the silent generation supported Israel, and the boomers still impacted by post WW2 inherited that mentality. But the next generation is questioning why exactly.

    In addition I think the Christians see it as a crusade, whether they use that word or not, and hide it behind all sorts of reasons.
