Senator Diane Feinstein on Benghazi incident: " I don’t think that you can question that there was malevolence on the part of the President, on the part of the Secretary of State or anyone else.

A small green thumb is what I have, but I have decided to keep it. Last year in my planter pots, I grew cherry tomatoes, basil, and South Dakota wildflowers. This year I have planted more flowers (all in one pot), Greek oregano, and a Surplice Heirloom tomato plant. I applied plant food as well. I... Sign in to see full entry.

Crushed beneath the wheels of a humongous truck? I could have been. I was trailing a huge army dump truck. It may have been retired from army use for all I know.

Today is a day that anti-nationalists have used to puff their globalism but have instead shown bias toward other cultures instead. As today is Cinco de Mayo, I think back to this date for the past couple years when it fell on school days. In one instance, a school boy was suspended for three days... Sign in to see full entry.

The confusion about my appointment date was needless, but happened because the receptionist was not precise in her communication.
