You can be opposed to the Iranian regime AND the reckless bombing of school kids.

You can support the troops AND be opposed to sending them into senseless wars.

You are not an antisemite if you decry the Israeli regime’s genocidal rampage.

Don’t let morons impose their idiotic view of the world.

The Department of State tweets a video of Secretary Marco Rubio. In the video, Rubio says: "Imagine if instead of spending billions of dollars supporting terrorists or weapons, Iran had spent that money helping the people of Iran. They would have a much different country."

FactPost News tweets a video of Donald Trump speaking at a podium. In the video he says: "We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things."

hmm

Several clumps of dried ornamental grasses left uncut over the winter to provide a haven for insects.

I love Connecticut. Like you

Independence Lake north of Truckee, #California was on private timber company land, which put it up for sale. Larry Ellison wanted to buy it as a private lake for his billionarity, but the company instead sold it to the Tahoe Donner Land Trust. Now it has trails and free kayak use for the public!

THE POOREST COUNTY IN AMERICA VOTES HARDEST AGAINST ITS OWN INTERESTS AND CALLS IT PATRIOTISM. THAT'S NOT LOYALTY, THAT'S A FISH WHO KEEPS DEFENDING THE HOOK.

Republicans didn’t do this in a year. They built it across decades — defunded the schools, killed the unions, bought the local news, flooded the churches with politics, and waited. By the time the water was boiling, the frog had learned to call it a hot tub.

Each winter, our Hibiscus plant stays in the living room. There may be snow outside, but we can still enjoy a summer preview.

Tears for Fears — Everybody Wants to Rule the World | LIVE Performance | SiriusXM YouTube video by SiriusXM

In 1985 they were telling you and in 2026 people are still telling you. Nothing ever seems to changes and what a tragedy it is.
Everybody wants to rule the world
The lines between evil and good have never been more blurred.

This is understandable: as long as appearance is not confronted with reality, it does not seem to be appearance. As long as living a lie is not confronted with living the truth, the perspective needed to expose its mendacity is lacking. As soon as the alternative appears, however, it threatens the very existence of appearance and living a lie in terms of what they are, both their essence and their all-inclusiveness. And at the same time, it is utterly unimportant how large a space this alternative occupies: its power does not consist in its physical attributes but in the light it casts on those pillars of the system and on its unstable foundations. - Vaclav Havel

Vaclac Havel on why each of us, by not cowering and repeating the regime’s definitions of reality (LIES), has the power to end it.

I've thought about taking that trip, and I'm eager to read about it. Cheers!!

Eisenhower

Quote from Washington Times editorial board "[Radical liberals] don't realize that, when they express contempt for the man who holds the country's highest office, they reveal their contempt for the Americans who put him there."

Uh no...we definitely realize it.

Snow on the ground, a path shoveled to the barns, winter trees, and wooden fencing, with apricot-colored clouds in the early evening sky.

Beautiful evening on the farm

Dutch Bros employees surprised a shelter volunteer with enough pup cups for every dog in the shelter. 13/10 for all (TT: juliesaraceno2)

Or picking up big bags of safe salt at the hardware store

I haven't figured out the best way to dig out and get to barn. Drinking a second cup of coffee.

This morning's view from the back door.

"If border walls destroy La Lomita, Santa Ana, Bentsen State Park, and the National Butterfly Center, they will not be magically resurrected when the White House has a less malignant occupant."

Here's a crochet pattern for a warm winter MELT ICE hat. This style of hat was used by Norwegians in the 1940s as a form of visual protest. Pattern purchase price goes to help immigrants. (There is a knit version, too).

Happy to see a crochet version, and the money goes to a good cause.
