State/Church Separation — "Democracy is government of the people, by the people and for the people.” Evidence-based rational freethought reason over religious myth, fiction & fairy tales. Environmental protection of our public natural resources.
Money, Lies, and God: Inside the Movement to Destroy American Democracy is a 2025 non-fiction book by American journalist Katherine Stewart. Christian nationalism, corporate greed and disinformation have merged to undermine democratic institutions and concentrate power in the hands of a few.
UNFORGIVABLE — "Father" David Roney is at the center of this particular story, author Kevin Lewis O'Neill offers ample evidence that offshoring priests is a common practice. Clerical sexual abuse is as global as the Roman Catholic Church. Another "Christian" cleric pedophile . . .
Photo above? An estimated 50 night parrots (Pezoporus occidentalis) survive in a newly discovered colony in a remote area of Western Australia, more than doubling population estimates for colonies of a bird thought extinct for decades.
Pollinators are the life blood of nature. I dared to let my 3-4 acre lawn grow a decade or so ago. Now it's covered with wild flowers and grasses teaming with life. Don't forget that milkweed for our monarchs!
MAGA answer to the Pennsylvania “No Kings Rally”—MASS MURDER TERRORISM—AR-15, 13 IED BOMBS, Sauer P320 handgun, a “bayonet knife,” pepper spray and several magazines of ammunition. Krebs planning to pick up where Timothy McVeigh left off . . . all for King CONVICT TRUMP!
Meet your friendly neighborhood Christian nationalist Republican—face to face!
GOP Megabill is NOT a "BBB" ... it's a WMD - WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION - public healthcare, public school funding, attacks the courts, explodes national debt for future generations, robs the poor to give to the rich elite ... this bill is GRAND DOMESTIC EMBEZZLEMENT by THE CONVICT and GOP MOB! 😠

Sugar Tyme Crabapple (Malus \'Sutyzam) ... a great addition to your yard. Beautiful fragrant blooms in the spring attract a parade of pollinators and orioles in the spring. The birds feast on the fruit in the fall and winter - ruffed grouse and pine grosbeaks in my neck of the Northwoods.
RFK Jr.'s 'Make America Healthy Again' report ... Trump's press propaganda secretary - "some formatting issues" - NOTUS reported Thursday that seven of the more than 500 studies cited in the report did not appear to have ever been published. This case of multiples LIES is a case of - FRAUD!
Educated advice from an educated professional - who clearly cares about public health!👍
Yes - wild birds are a fabulous resource and fun to watch. We can learn a great deal about the natural world from birds. I'm looking forward to arrival of my favorite bird here in the Northwoods ... Myiarchus crinitus - tyrant of the canopy!
