  11. Why does Oz oppose clean, green nuclear energy. Oh, right, it's the coal exports. But you do have sane immigration policies.

  12. blindingly. Adverbs, which modify verbs, usually have a "ly" at the end.

  14. And the cruelty, designed to bring the upstart Ukrainians to heel. It's atrocious.

  15. I'm not a Kamala Harris democrat. That 75 million voted for her is disturbing. Deeply disturbing.
