Agatha Christie aka "dude"

Nice find! I've read one biography and numerous biographical articles about her but had never heard about the surfing. Who knew? Rivertorch (talk) 04:45, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

It's a news story in the UK. Some research has been done recently on papers of hers, I think, and this came out of it. Actually, I added something on the Article about it at almost precisely the same time as another editor and deleted my edit as his was more complete [tho less well written IMO!]. But it is pretty amazing...the Daily Telegraph story in particular - clearly she loved surfing! Boscaswell (talk) 08:10, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

hi

while editing God & Country I happened upon your user page where you assert the Axios claim of "the reality is the southern border is more fortified than it's ever been" is obviously a straight out lie, but Wikipedia says: 'There is a consensus that Axios is generally reliable'". I see others are of like mind.[1]

did you see that Axios provided examples to support its claim? have you and others considered that the current border crisis is due more to an unprecedented surge of migrants rather than a lack of border security? is it possible this surge could be due in part to Republicans hollering "open border!" which draws migrants to the border expecting to just walk in, creating a crisis?[2] and if it's true Trump fortified the most secure border in history, then does that mean Biden removed the fortifications or reduced border patrol officers to enable the surge? I see no evidence he did.

these are just rhetorical questions for you to consider, I'm not expecting a discussion. but it seems to me that the response to the Axios piece is barking up the wrong tree. Axios does not claim there is no border crisis, or that illegal crossings aren't at record highs, which some appear to think it does. Crossings are high despite the border being fortified better than ever. soibangla (talk) 05:10, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Are you for real, soibangla?

"…despite the border being fortified better than ever."
