A collage by a friend of mine who is an art hobbyist. He's been a chef in fine establishments, but one day he decided to dabble in painting and started painting beautiful copies of master works, then painting his own works, then experimenting with other art. I envy his ease with lovely creations.
Pete Hegseth claims US 'Department of War', actually the US Department of Defense, should win the Nobel Peace Prize every year. Trumpamagalon is hell bent on invading & enslaving other countries, killing lots of people, destroying people, cultures, & infrastructure, & robbing them blind. PEACE???
Ray Smith, Jr. ('Rain'), of the Yakama Nation grew up on the Warm Springs Reservation in Oregon. He was last seen on March 11, 2026 in Portland's Pearl District. His family filed a Missing Person Report If you have information contact Portland Police regarding Case # 26-98430.
I get it now, this post leaves out the context. It is a reference to what Todd Blanch said in a presser on January 30th, when he basically quoted the law on the matter, which, by the way, they only half complied with because they exposed names of victims. As referenced by PBS 21 November 2025:
I was always so surprised at how common it was for so many to just assume Trump had been beaten and the worst was over. The masses of the J6 attempted coup showed Trump his power & that he could hack away at institutions, systems, & people to eventually get control.....& then never give it up.
I am always surprised by this kind of surprise to Trump and Trumpamagalon. I think that kind of mission of destructiveness was clear long ago. Why would anyone be surprised? Horrified, yes, but surprised, I don't get it.
The complete [willful?] idiocy of parents in these cases never ceases to amaze me.
If you say, do, or be anything against Trump or Trumpamagalon, you get penalized. But you can violate the law, violate human rights, & any like an incredibly dishonest, vulgar, buffoonish, uneducated, ignorant, horrific person AND be allowed to say and do whatever loyally for Trump or ANTI-left.
I love a good walk on most days to enjoy the beautiful nature, pet all the kitties & pups I can, & touch base with all the neighborly humans too...and notice their homes and signs. This is one of my current favorites that has me laughing out loud every day. It used to be a CAT FAAFO sign.
I'm no worshipper of the Founding Fathers, but I take each of them for who & what they were & for the legacies they carved out in the environment & challenges of their times. I keep in mind the realities & truths of past & present, but progress always starts where we are & what we do in our times.
PeepPeep the Catbird Beeper, AKA Woodstocky so named because on most days he spent about half his free range time hanging out with his friend Woodstock - a greeting card Woodstock - so I kept the card there on the shelf forever. His feline best cuddle buddy had to share him with a greeting card.
It's Caturday- I miss my sleek, funny, talkative, & dramatic Sweet Pea Twinkie Toes who loved dogs, thought she was a dog, brought me live gifts to chase around the house, was best buds with my Woodstocky, stole all my Santas off the xtrees, remained SILENTLY UNFINDABLE whenever STUCK somewhere...
It's an interesting read for someone like me not as familiar with British politics or Matt Goodwin, although his name rung a bell and I needed to know why. The excerpt below might be particularly interesting to some like me looking around at our country now wearing its cloak turned inside out.
JD Vance January 22, 2026 statement clearly different from his past statement of absolute immunity. Absolute means complete, total, Jd. Just as a visual reference:
My wonderfully talented friend shared his newest collage with me.
THIS is my little offering of what some might call a timeline cleanse. I use all kinds of pictures for speaking & writing exercises. THIS picture sort of takes the cake because apparently it's meant to be serious. However, I wouldn't exactly call it self-explanatory.
CK was an awful human. Like Trump, he gained big money & power, saying & doing horrible things, stoking hatred & violence & lying about people & events. I respect his humanity & his rights without respecting him or whitewashing him. I am sad for his children, for dead children, for live children. 2
The DEVIOUS assault on our voting system began long before Trump 2.0. TrumptyDumpty's mission has always been clear: regain the presidency and NEVER GIVE IT UP! That includes destroying our voting system to serve him. DO VOTE, but voting won't save you or democracy. CHOKE THE MONSTER OUT OF POWER!
