Re: Daily Dracula
Prior to last year I had presumed I'd read it at some point, but now I'm certain I had not. I was surprised how much of the story I was unaware of considering Dracula stories/folklore were a part of my youth. 'Creature Feature' Friday night movies were staples of sleepovers.

Dave, I find Connections fun.. or terribly baffling! Although I believe I've become better at playing it. Inanna, yes, I think that would add to the difficulty.

Greene also wanted money for the Hawaii/Maui fires because there are conspiracy theories, which she must buy into, which claim the Maui fires were caused by a 'Direct Energy Weapon'.

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney
But the truth/facts don't matter, what matters (to Trump/Habba) is that the trial comes across as Trump being a victim of unfair persecution to FOX viewers. Trump has been making (false/twisted) comments regarding things he claims the judge has said which has caused media outrage. I'm sure he'll kee...

I was wondering what your opinion of this would be.Voronwë the Faithful wrote: ↑Wed Apr 17, 2024 2:37 am On the other hand, it is fairly shocking to me that 2 of the first 7 jurors are lawyers.
I am discouraged (and disturbed) when people feel that someone like Trump 'speaks their mind' when so much of what he has to say isn't based on facts.

N.E. that's crazy! Sunny, I don't know if I'd trust statistics coming from some of those countries. Or I'd question if there is a world wide standard for what is considered 'literacy'. The U.S. uses different levels, most adults having at least level 1, but perhaps the standards are higher? MY searc...

From what I've read, the people of Mongolia eat very little in the way of vegetation, not even grain. So a large loss of animals would be devastating.

I don't know that I could be fair & impartial. If I'd been on juries before I might feel differently, but I've never had to serve so I just don't know.N.E.

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney
Jury selection in this trial begins today. This morning, New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman posted this from the courtroom: "Trump appears to be sleeping. His head keeps dropping down and his mouth goes slack." One cannot help but wonder if he's on some sort of sedative (or something...
