    1. Golly, I didn’t need a definition, I knew that when I was a small child as my mother was a woman.

  1. Color vs Conformity.
    Sorta fits. I have a delima and am against the clock. If you have a strong opinion, which would you buy?

    (From 2017 on 3.5 EcoBoost has 12 injectors both direct and port so the engine no longer has death by carbon.) (At least not prematurely.)
    **The tip is that 2017 – 2018 Ford 3.5L EcoBoost equipped vehicles are becoming affordable.**
    (And Toyotas still enjoy highest re-sale values)

    1. I just bought 2018 F-150 ecoboost, and love it, but 10sp trannies are problematic. Toyota’s are great, and I love the blue.

    2. If the choice is between the Toy and the Ford only, choose the Toy.
      Recently bought a used Chev Silverado, much more $$$ but a full size 1/2 ton with a 3 ltr inline 6 turbo diesel. 305 HP and 500 ft # tourque. 34 MPG

    “Fluoride Is The Biggest Health Scam Of The Century

    In The 1940s, The Aluminum Industry Faced Shutdown If They Didn’t Find A Use For The Aluminum Waste

    Fluoride Toothpaste Had Nothing To Do With Health, But It Had Everything To Do With Profit

    The late 19th century industrial revolution created an abundant amount of toxic industrial pollutants & byproducts. Arguably the most detrimental, was the Aluminum Company of America (ALCOA).

    ALCOA’s aluminum plants killed or crippled all forms of life within range by releasing copious amounts of their byproduct, fluoride, into the air.

    The USDA threatened to shut down ALCOA if they didn’t find a use for the aluminum waste. If it was toxic in the air & toxic in the landfill then it was either shutdown Aluminum Manufacturing or hire someone to twist the data & spin it to the public as healthy.

    ALCOA hired Edward Bernays, nephew of Sigmund Freud, to vex the public into believing Fluoride toothpaste & Fluoridated water was healthy.

    Edward Bernays Quote, “If we understand the mechanism of ‘group think’, we can control the masses without them knowing it.”

    Bernays produced ads for toothpaste companies, using faulty paid off studies, showing fluoride as safe. Soon enough, the public was deceived into thinking fluoride had no effect on the body.

    Fluoridation is a profitable scam for fertilizer companies. Low value toxic waste is turned into high value dental medicine.

    Millions of people have been duped to believe that it is acceptable to consume toxic waste grade fluoride which contains billions of atoms of lead, arsenic, mercury, cadmium & thallium.

    Fluoride is more toxic & lethal than Lead. Fluoride was a common household rodent & pest killer in the early 20th century. Fluoride shuts down our Pineal & Thyroid Gland, causing us to be submissive & bland.

    Nazi Germany experimented with water fluoridation as a way to control concentration camp inhabitants. Neurotoxic agents such as fluoride have the ability to lower one’s IQ level & affect memory.

    Conditions Caused By Fluoride Poisoning:

    Bone Fractures & Osteoporosis
    Alzheimer’s & Parkinson’s Disease
    Autism & ADHD
    Lowered IQ
    Epilepsy & Huntington’s Disease
    Depression & Mood Disorders
    Degenerative Eye Disease
    Hypothyroidism & Pineal Gland Calcification
    Displaces Iodine, Causing Deficiency
    Asthma & COPD
    Airway Hyperreactivity & Panic Attacks
    Metabolic Syndrome & Diabetes
    Cardiovascular Disease & Hypertension
    Autoimmune Diseases & Allergies
    Chronic Kidney Disease
    Rheumatoid Arthritis
    NAFLD & Pancreatitis
    PCOS & Infertility
    Cancer & Tumors In Every Organ”

    The bureaucrat overseeing operations of that hotline is a convicted pedophile who sexually assaulted his 13-year-old stepdaughter.””

    “Trump has been referring to the 1908 Treaty that established the border between the US & Canada.

    Here’s the thing: The Treaty was actually signed by The United Kingdom, “on behalf of Canada.”

    WHAT IF? The Kingdom is no more?”

    https://x.com/newstreason/status/1892337646711517639

    That same question is also relevant to Ukraine and Ukraine 2.0, Israel.

    1. “The 1908 Treaty was a minor part of a general settlement of outstanding U.S.-Canadian issues,” Dunbabin said. “The only stretches of the U.S.-Canadian border whose line had not then been agreed were some mudflats in Passamaquoddy Bay. The treaty provided for the settlement of this short stretch.”
      Quick recap of treaty:
      https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/trump-waved-a-1908-treaty-as-ammo-in-his-disputes-with-canada-heres-what-you-need-to-know-about-it

      The Treaty of Paris in 1783 established the main characteristics of the border.

      The Baltic States had few issues (mainly) re-establishing borders when the USSR disbanded.

      History does count for something.

    1. But, what if Trump is on the list?

      Oh, wait, if that were true the list would have been relased (albeit redacted) long ago.
