🥥 Since we're in New York and discussing Starbucks, Mr Facts, did you miss the story about the coffee shop chain signing a contract with starlings -- the birds?
They plan to give each of these pests its own Starbucks franchise.
This is the biggest news about these nuisances since a twit imported the non-native birds to the US having seen them mentioned by William Shakespeare.

    1. How much legal jeopardy is in?

    The classified documents case will make use of a recording which indicates that had a highly sensitive document which he knew was NOT declassified.

    The chain of evidence looks strong and while there is much news media spinning, a court of law is more rigorous environment where focus on fact is primary

    1. I've watched this scene before from the . It still speaks powerfully to me especially when I hear some awful unctous biblical reference to justify something reprehensible

    The is filled with contradictions and peculiarities and for politicians, who like to use"Tthe Good Book" as justification, in the Merchant of Venice reminds us that "The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose" likely based on his reading of Luke 4:9-13
