Galileo was imprisoned by the church for saying the earth revolved around

the sun.

What we are seeing today, with the stunning backwards, reactionary propaganda of trump and his cabal, demonizing Fauci and all other scientists, is no different. It is the church...the cult.. of trump. He wants to drag the world backwards only for his ego, his greed, his narcissism.

What we are witnessing is simply insane. It is a twisted suicide cult.

BAK-LA-VA,...


Baklava

Baklava (Ottoman Turkish: باقلوا; /bɑːkləˈvɑː/, /ˈbɑːkləvɑː/,[2] or /bəˈklɑːvə/;[3] Turkish pronunciation: [baklaˈva]) is a rich, sweet dessert pastry made of layers of filo filled with chopped nuts and sweetened and held together with syrup or frosting or honey. It originated in the Ottoman Empire. It is characteristic of the cuisines of the Levant and the broader Middle East, along with Greece, the South Caucasus, Balkans, the Maghreb and Central Asia.

9. I feel like I'm back in high school in a class with the dumb kids

In a science class with the kids who can't comprehend anything of science and therefore think that it's all worthless. The ones who think that math is all arm-waving and have no idea if they have a proof or not. "This is too hard. Why do we have to care about any of this?" Except that in this Dumfuckistan nation, the dumb kids are in charge of the science lab. They smash all the test tubes, mix all the chemicals together willy-nilly, and claim that the teacher is a fool and evil for not "opening up the lab." "If I can't grill or shoot a paramecium, I don't care about it."
