Can't stand the source, but it is the truth: Abbott is blaming Biden for everything wrong at a detention facility. He never blamed Trump. I hate Abbott. Sex abuse is probably happening between minors/migrants and not with staff. This facility has been open less than a week. He wants to enlist the Texas rangers and if that doesn't work, he's going to take matters into his own hands.

My daughter's husband is from Jacksonsville, FL. When he was growing up there was a large tortoise in their neighborhood that he was playing with. Their neighbor told him, "It's endangered, we'll take him and and take care of it". So the neighbors too the tortoise. The next day, they saw the huge shell out in the garbage. It turns out the neighbors took the tortoise to make turtle soup.

And yes, this tortoise is endangered. But commonly seen in FL.
This happened about 30 years ago.

I HATE THEM!!!

Vomit.......Yuck....Stay away....Why here??? I guess Paxton and Abbott are inviting him to distract from the Texas lege....

Senate Bill 7 would make sweeping changes to Texas voting by limiting extended early voting hours, prohibiting drive-thru voting and requiring Texans to provide proof of disability to qualify for mail-in voting.

After more than five hours of public testimony, largely in opposition, a Texas Senate committee on Friday night advanced a wide-ranging elections bill that would further tighten the state's already restrictive voting rules and clamp down on local efforts to make it easier to vote.

Senate Bill 7 — one of Texas Republicans’ priority elections bills — would limit extended early voting hours, prohibit drive-thru voting and allow partisan poll watchers to record voters who receive help filling out their ballots. It would also forbid local election officials from encouraging voters to fill out applications to vote by mail, even if they qualify.

They also would not be able to proactively send out applications to voters who do not request them — a practice that is commonly used by political parties. Texans would also have to provide proof of disability to qualify for mail-in voting under the bill.

The State Affairs Committee did not even take public testimony into consideration.

Also can't like posts...

30 years, before he created the Home Atomic Energy Kit (remember that??), AC Gilbert marketed this Glass Blowing Kit for Boys.


I cannot imagine this. It's 1920: People are more afraid of fire and burns than they are now. Pumping stations for water were not as reliable. I have no idea if skin grafts were around etc etc.

What parent would purchase this?


I wonder if any were sold? Glass blowing requires 1,000 degree F...

There is a manual that came with the kit and it shows boys sitting at tables wearing shirts and ties while blowing glass as if they are doing something no more serious than drinking a glass of milk!


I wonder if any of these actually sold? (A tag some place said it was $10, but that is all I could find) The glass blowing kit is not in their 1950 catalog, so by then it was long gone.

I really can't find out much about this oddity.

I ran across this tonight and was a bit blown away...

Sure there were lots of dangerous products where the dangers were invisible as in the atomic energy kit, patent medicine, cigarettes, but a glass blowing kit for boys? 1920?

File photo, but I was driving and it hit me right in the face! High visibility area!
