Wow. The Pope was just asked his stance on migration. His answer is amazing:
“I would change the question: what is the global North doing to help the global South in its situation that forces them to migrate.”

In this experiment, Dr Rob Thompson from the University of Reading shows how long it takes a cup of water to soak into parched ground.
This is why heavy rainfall after a drought can be really dangerous & might lead to flash flooding.
Sung to the tune of “Jesus Christ Superstar”.
Cheeto Christ, Cheeto Christ, he’s like if Jesus were pumpkin-spice. Cheeto Christ, stupid-czar, mad tangerine colored commissar.
Thanks Randy Rainbow!

So if, for instance, ICE was to deploy at Kansas polling places, they could arrest people waiting in line to vote by simply lurking within 25 feet of the waiting line.

BREAKING: After talking to @SecRubio, @SenatorRounds announces that the 28 point plan was a Russian document, not a US document.
Full @SenatorRounds: "@SecRubio did make a phone call to us this afternoon. I think he made it very clear to us that we are the recipients of a proposal that was delivered to one of our representatives. It is not our recommendation, it is not our peace plan. It is a proposal that was received. And as an intermediary, we have made arrangements to share it. And we did not release it. It was leaked. It was not released by our members or our representatives... This is an opportunity to receive it and that it has been utilized and delivered to the Ukrainians, and that they will have an opportunity to respond. And in doing so, you now have one side being presented and the opportunity for the other side to respond."

Right, right. Who needs ATC? Heck, ATC has only been around for roughly 100 years. No increase in air traffic since then, right? Those dang pilots can just do what they did in 1919. They were the REAL pilots, flying those Curtiss Jenny's.
BREAKING FOX NEWS: Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy goes on the record: "Pilots need to stop depending on air traffic controllers. They need to suck it up and go with their gut feelings."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Sean Duffy never said this. His interview can be seen here.
