Traveller, sea kayaker, hiker, birder, app & database developer with interests in languages (currently learning Thai), cultures, science, nature, fitness, reading, politics. Warning Democrats about GOP's danger to America since the 1980's.
The FBI would really like to investigate the pedophiles and child sex traffickers in the Epstein files, but alas, they have much more important investigations to do first.
The Democratic establishment's fear of progressivism is the other side of the coin of the Democratic establishments fear of standing up for what's right. Democratic voters are saying they're tired of Democrats who fear standing up for what's right. Image source: @lincolnsquare.media
Judge Denounces Trump’s I.R.S. Suit as Improper Exercise in Self-Dealing The judge also referred the lawyer who brought President Trump’s case against the I.R.S. to the Florida bar for potential disciplinary proceedings.
It’s hard to imagine that the tranquil sea pictured in my profile photo is where a devastating tsunami struck Thailand in 2004. I took this photo in 2011.
Here are two shots of adult Cooper’s Hawks, taken in different years, in our backyard in Portland. The one on the fence has a female house finch I saw it catch in flight.
Nextdoor is Twitter for the Get Off My Lawn and Don’t Park In Front of My House crowd. My neighbor is one of them. I parked in front of his house just one time when contractors were doing work on my home. I left for 10 minutes to run an errand and this is what he did to the space while I was gone.
New York Times editorial board gleefully gives SCOTUS a participation trophy for barely upholding constitutional law.
"They're letting algae out of pools in insane asylums and sending them here. These are some 'malo algas' as they say in Spanish. Most people don't know they have algae in Brazil where everyone speaks Spanish. I knew it though." -Donald Trump (sometime soon)
The closer we get to 2026 election day, the more desperate Trump is becoming with respect to controlling who can and can't vote in the 2026 election. Trump knows he'll be impeached if Democrats win both chambers of congress. The more scared he gets, the more dangerous he becomes.
You'll never win trying to reason with a sea lion. They will just keep arguing in bad faith to be as annoying as possible.
One would think that the mainstream media would've caught on to this "Iran is ready to make a deal" con job by now and not report it as fact like they did the past 30 times and it never happened.
When I’m out riding my bike and I see people 1/3 my age on e-bikes who appear to have no physical disability I wonder if they’re in training so they’ll be ready to transition to scooters around when they reach 1/2 my age.
When news organizations use the word "ceasefire" as it relates to Israel.
Social scientists have just discovered the #1 cause of antisemitism in the world. A cure could be several wars and genocides away though.
How much coverage of Lutnick's $5 million payoff to a House GOP Super PAC before he appeared before them to testify is there on Fox News and other right wing propaganda outlets? Exactly zero. Right wing propaganda outlets pretending to be news outlets need to be shut down once and for all.
Trump is a sociopath. He literally can't help himself. The Republicans who enable a sociopath because power is more important than their oath to the Constitution and the best interests of Americans know the difference between right and wrong. Without them there would be no Trump. Never forget this
Ha ha. Yeah, that last drop is a doozy. Ocean kayaker here. I’m at home in surf, swells, rock gardening and tidal races. Kayaking on rivers isn’t my thing. I have a phobia about strainers. It might have something to do with growing up on the ocean and being familiar with it.
A house finch and a lesser goldfinch eyeing the new, tender leaves of the snap peas my wife just planted.
Reality check of the day. You don't have to be MAGA to be chock full of willful ignorance.
When you receive an email like this and you have to wonder if Kash Patel really did send it, it says a lot about the current state of affairs in America ... and it ain't good.
