@SenJohnCurtis The #1 thing you could do for housing affordability is deport all the foreigners here illegally consuming our housing stock. Some 200,000 to 500,000.
We don’t need 35,000 new starter homes, we need hundreds of thousand fewer illegal aliens.
/1🚨EXPOSED — Biden CIA’s War on Motherhood:
Newly released CIA documents reveal the Biden Administration identified “motherhood” and “homemaking” as indicators of “white racially and ethnically motivated violent extremism” (REMVE).
EXCLUSIVE: Gavin Newsom promised to build a bridge for cougars and butterflies in the middle of Los Angeles. The project has turned into another boondoggle, with broken deadlines and costs exploding to $114 million.
This is Newsom's bridge to nowhere.

California squirrels are eating rodents in broad daylight.
In California’s Briones Regional Park, researchers observed a startling new behavior: California ground squirrels, typically known for eating nuts and seeds, are now hunting, killing, and consuming voles, a smaller rodent species in their habitat.
A study in the Journal of Ethology documented 74 squirrel-vole interactions, with 42% involving squirrels stalking, pouncing on, and eating voles. This behavior, observed almost daily, marks the first recorded instance of widespread carnivory in this species. While squirrels have occasionally eaten insects or bird eggs, actively hunting warm-blooded prey is unprecedented.
Student-recorded videos show squirrels chasing voles, restraining them with forepaws, biting their necks, and consuming their flesh or organs. The behavior may stem from a vole population surge—nearly seven times the state’s ten-year average—prompting squirrels to exploit this abundant protein source.
Squirrels of all ages and sexes participated, suggesting a potential lasting adaptation. It’s unclear if this carnivorous trend will continue once vole numbers normalize, but the discovery reveals the surprising adaptability of even well-known animals.

Hey @MagnumKeith. What was Elmer's opinion of the L-frame Smiths? Did he prefer the N-frame for .357 mag or did he appreciate what Smith was trying to do with the L?
The Baptism of Adam in full color (for you sick freaks who like that sort of thing).
Baptism by water and fire is the pattern, from the first generation to now. Loved diving into Moses 6 for this.
@libraryofgodwin I've seen three reactions:
1. Frogmos - the feminization of the church continues!
2. Progmos - score one for gender equity in the church!
3. Women - Don't want it. Don't care. Don't need another thing added to my plate.
A recently ex-mo individual in my circle is really crashing out over the Sunday School change.
Turns out this person also really hated that President Oaks mentioned marriage when announching the missionary age change.
Our family welcomed a new child to the world last week. A miracle baby. Like a dream he came and by a dream he was named.
Zion grows and Satan groans.
This a part of the reason my last few essays have been/are delayed in coming FYI. Big transformations last year for us.
@DeadBug15 I felt that way in my two previous wards (7 years in one, 5 in the other). I've been in my current Ward for 8 years and would be sad to leave.
I’ve lived in my current ward for 6.5 years and feel like I wouldn’t miss it if I moved away tomorrow. I participate in the activities we have, and I’m active in my calling, but do others (esp men) feel this same way? Almost zero emotional connection to the ward?
