I cannot wait to experience a soft sunrise again.
Beautiful photos…

Sunrise, sunset

Well, Althouse, are you ready to admit that biological women are naturally inferior to biological men? The best female swimmer in America is a biological male, and now USA Today‘s “Woman of the Year” is a biological male.

BPR reports that it has long been believed by European leaders that Russia is using a disinformation campaign in connection with private environmental groups to discourage fracking so that countries will be forced to turn to them for oil. Russia, as part of their sophisticated information and disinformation operations, engaged actively with environmental organizations working against shale gas to maintain European dependence on imported Russian gas.

The Russians have weaponized energy by actually funding some of the most rabid environmental groups in Europe because they can sic them on the energy projects that aren’t Russian. As a result, Scotland, Bulgaria, and The Netherlands have all banned fracking and other EU countries are not pursuing shale energy development.

Unfortunately, American environmentalists are also being similarly misdirected. New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware, adjacent to the fossil fuel-producing Marcellus shale basin have banned fracking. Vermont, Maryland and Washington have also done so but these states have little, if any, shale deposits.

From the Daily Mail:

A Bronx apartment complex where 17 were killed during a blaze in January was due for an inspection that never took place because fire officials were diverted to a COVID task force to ensure restaurants followed pandemic guidelines.

The building was scheduled for inspection, but 90 out of 450 New York fire inspectors (20%) were reassigned to enforce DeBlasio’s COVID rules in restaurants. Presumably the inspection, had it taken place, would have uncovered the issues with malfunctioning doors that turned a space heater fire into a major blaze that killed 17 people (including 8 children) and injured an additional 60.

Softly, as in a Morning Sunrise

A truly beautiful jazz standard.

Despite the fact that gadfly wrote it, his comment at 3:45 is perfectly true. Some of us have known this for years (and suspected it for far longer).

Gadfly- that sounds damned prettinear like information.

Thank you.

That first photo is very beautiful. One of the best, IMHO, of the sunrise series.

Given that Russia is only a gas station with a military, one should expect such devious behavior from them. It makes me wonder how anyone can believe that Trump was under their influence, given that his oil-related actions as POTUS were in direct opposition to their primary interests.

"Well, Althouse, are you ready to admit..."

I'm not ready to answer your question until you research what I've already said on this question and ask the question in the form that demonstrates that you know and you understand. As it is, your question reveals your ignorance, and it is therefore on its face unworthy of answering.

@Althouse, yes I’m having fun at your expense, not to mention thousands of other Lefty women. Naughty of me, but I like to laugh at the foolishness of the “woke.” For the record, I don’t regard either person as a true woman — as I have often written, they are men who are imitating a man’s impression of what it is like to be a woman. Out of an estimated 138 million US men, there might be a dozen or two that really understand what it means to be a woman. I doubt that Lia Thomas or Rachel Levine are among them.

Question for Lia Thomas. How does your period affect your race times?

Big Mike म्हणाले...

@Maynard, that’s a point I often raised during the period December 2017 to November 2020. Whereupon lefty commentators solemnly informed me that Putin so hated (and feared?) Hillary Clinton that he was willing to lose hundreds of millions of dollars from his personal fortune, and billions from the Russian economy, to defeat her.

Bullshit.

Big Mike म्हणाले...

Sorry, make that December 2016.

Big Mike, you're not a child and not being "naughty." You're just being ignorant, making an assertion about me with respect to something that is in the archive. You're too lazy/pigheaded to look it up. I'm sure life is more "fun" for you not taking the trouble to work to check the truth of your statements, but it's not cool. It's stupid. And I really ought to delete you and exclude you permanently because of your failure to respond to the effort I have taken with you.

But go ahead and try. I have told you what you need to do to prove that you are not a troll -- here to waste my time and distract us inanely.

Ann Althouse म्हणाले...

Is this the end of Big Mike?

I'll give him to the end of the day to respond appropriately.

Ann Althouse म्हणाले...

No response.

That's it.

Permanent troll status achieved.

We will delete Big Mike from now on. He has proved himself to be in bad faith, and he has wasted my time.
