Here's a story in the spirit of the season:

Greg Abbott sent 3 busloads of migrants from Texas and had them dropped off in front of the VP's residence in DC around 8pm.

They were briefly left standing outside in 14 DEGREE WEATHER before being picked up by the Migrant Solidarity Mutual Aid Network and moved to a local church.

Really is no amount of cruelty these people can't justify if gets them five minutes on Tucker Carlson.

Indiana ended fiscal year 2022 with a budget surplus of $3.9 BILLION (with a "B"!). This is the largest budget surplus for the state since at least 1976 (which was as far back as I went) by a huge margin and SIX TIMES what the state predicted it would see in 2022.

I would love to see this record surplus lead to record investment in education, healthcare, economic development, social programs and infrastructure.

We are all stardust.

That oxygen you breath? That comes from dying massive stars, ending their light in a supernova.

The iron in your blood? Some massive stars dying, but mainly white dwarfs, the leftovers of dwarf stars like our own Sun, exploding.

The gold ring on your finger? Mostly merging neutron stars, leftovers from supernovae.
