Correlation is not causation.
Bird population could be dropping because of invasive species, urban encroachment, or other reasons.

I used to get flocks of dozens of gold finches. I still put out the feeders. But I don't think I have seen a gold finch in 3 years.

When Obama (aka "deporting in chief") was doing it, the left was fine with it.
Obama deport twice as many illegals as Trump.
Politicians which have spoken out strongly in favor of secure borders include: Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Biden, Chuck Schumer, and Dianne Finstein - among many others.

How long can you do that? Six months? Also, do you have to pay income tax in whatever other country?

Ridiculous. SS is it's own tax.
Tax cuts often bring in more revenue, because they stimulate the economy.
Also, huge amounts of SS is being spent on free medicair for illegals.
Huge amounts also goes to medicair fraud.

I can hardly think of anything IBM does that cannot be done better and/or cheaper by somebody else.

I have worked for IBM, as a contractor, and there was a time when I was impressed with company. But now, I don't see much of a reason for IBM anything.

I just switched to FreeBSD 15.0 from RHEL 8.10.
Boot time is noticeably faster with FreeBSD.

I have not timed it.
But I have recently switched from RHEL 8.10 to FreeBSD 15.0, and the boot is noticeably faster.

Back then we didn't have no fancy, shmancy, SSD.
And that's the way we liked it. We LOVED it.

It looks to me like most of SCOTUS is ignoring the law, and ignoring what is good for the nation, and legislating from the bench. I have reviewed the laws from the 1970s, it is plainly clear that POTUS has full authority regulate imports.

Worthwhile post on facebook.

Justice Clarence Thomas came in strong with his dissent on the tariff ruling — forceful, direct, and unapologetic.
He didn’t dance around it. He made his position clear:
“NEITHER the statutory text nor the Constitution provide a basis for ruling against the President.”
In other words, Thomas argued that both the law and the Constitution support the President’s authority in this case.
He continued:
“Congress authorized the President to ‘regulate . . . importation.’ Throughout American history, the authority to ‘regulate importation’ has been understood to include the authority to impose duties on imports.”
Thomas pointed to historical understanding and precedent, saying that regulating imports has long been interpreted to include imposing tariffs.
He added another key point:
“The meaning of that phrase was beyond doubt by the time that Congress enacted this statute, shortly after President Nixon’s highly publicized duties on imports were upheld based on identical language.”
He referenced past precedent — including actions taken under President Nixon — to argue that similar language had already been accepted by the courts.
And he concluded:
“The statute that the President relied on therefore authorized him to impose the duties on imports at issue in these cases.”
His message was clear: in his view, Congress delegated the authority, history backs that interpretation, and the statute supports the President’s actions.

> Thomas disagreed with Gorsuch’s interpretation of early history, writing, “Justice Gorsuch’s interpretation of two 'early congressional debates,’... is thus difficult to reconcile with what early Congresses actually did.”
> He continued: “Since the 1790s, Congress has consistently delegated to the President power over foreign commerce, including the power to impose duties on imports."

Seems like smoking, either tobacco or cannabis, would also increase AD risk.

Maybe that is not the smartest idea?

I assume burning trees for energy does about the same thing to the air as forest fires.
