Maybe they can find someone to run against her and to beat the ranked choice voting thing.
It's crazy what the democrats have to do for headlines and to change the narrative. This ain't it.

If taking Greenland is in our best interest, especially if the Chinese are involved, then you do it.

The correct term is National Interest. If Greenland were to develop ties with China, who may be an existential threat to us, in our hemisphere then it certainly would be in our national interest to take care of the problem before it gets worse. And we would be justified in doing it.

A&M has had the Qatar branch for some time.

I recall that they are shutting that campus down. Maybe a year ago I read it.

I find a lot of them are very smug and talk down about America and American Policies - like they are entitled to receive entitlements from us but can also criticize our way of doing things.

They have a left leaning government just like much of Europe. So these countries are in extreme TDS mode.

Yeah, she was only conversing with the male teacher in a manner that I'd call modern courting. Nothing wrong here.

In what he calls a "global disaster" now unfolding in northern latitudes as the sea area that freezes and melts each year shrinks to its lowest extent ever recorded, Prof Peter Wadhams of Cambridge University calls for "urgent" consideration of new ideas to reduce global temperatures.

There has not always been sea ice. In fact it is a fairly recent occurrence, meaning in the last 2.7 million years of the last 65 million years of "recent times). Let nature do what it will do and adapt. If there is a coming flood, our progeny can move inland.
