It's difficult to understand your point given how this was written. However, it's worth pointing out that the Cuban doctor export scheme is, in fact, very profitable to the Cuban government. Much less so to the doctors themselves

It's not an original so much as an official copy. The copies, dated 1300, were created 85 years after the signing of the original Magna Carta in 1215. Although I suppose the argument is that if you re-affirm the same text several time

They're pushing a 55% budget cut. There is absolutely no universe in which you can justify that with rhetoric around "DEI" science. This is going to cut very, very deep into basic STEM / biomedical research. They'

And a second F-18 was very nearly shot down by friendly fire in the same incident. I wonder how many hours of sleep those sailors are getting a night.

If searching every single de minimis package would actually save 120,000 lives a year, I might even agree with you. But it would not. It would accomplish next to nothing. To say nothing of the fact that fentanyl is not just a supply issue

And strip searching everyone who enters a school building would have a positive impact on the rate of school shootings. Over-enforcement creates its own major issues. The cure is worse than the disease.

1) Obama was a moderate 2) Moderates do, in fact, have stronger appeal than leftists. It's empirically true. As evidence, see: literally just about every election where a leftist is on the ballot, with the possible exception of AOC who
