Desert Toad

Aww. So sad. But it was a good start...

Too bad it wasn't in the Kremlin.

It's not funny that GOP reps seem to want well known racists name's on license plates, highways (the 202), etc...

They're proud of their racism now, they've come out of the shadows.

The white nationalism is part of their personality now and they celebrate it

They can't pretend anymore now

"Mistakenly" is doing a LOT of heavy lifting there, Bucko...

"Mistakenly"...

Sorry, thanks for the correction.

Didn't mean to imply he IS a weaker candidate, either, but I think that news implies that the GOP does.

So then, the GOP thinks Telarico would be a easier opponent then her.

It's going to be a nasty senate race.

"Don't believe your eyes or ears, believe me, a fucking ICEwipe, who always thinks force is the best solution, unless it's against us. Due to no morals, and zero training, we reserve the choice to shoot innocent protesters, and then frame them with bullshit lies, as that's our go-to methodology..."

DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin was lying.

Sunset near Lake Pleasant with a little foreground macrophotography...

The morning Sun rises upon a saguaro cactus. They are very important to the indigenous people in the area, they are majestic watchers of the land. To the Tohono O'Odham tribe (pronounced "sah-wah-roh"), saguaros (Ha:sañ) are considered sacred relatives, kin with human heritage, integral to their culture, providing food (fruit for wine/jams), building materials (ribs for homes/fences/tools), and symbolizing resilience and a spiritual connection, marked by a traditional summer fruit harvest that begins their new year and involves rain ceremonies.

Arizona Sunset versus Sunrise the following morning...

Tough choice

Reuters is a Russian Operation.

Cheerleaders like Melissa here, don't allow people to comment on her obvious fawning war mongering bullshit.

She's an asswipe. She apparently loves war crimes, which our war criminal president commanded.

USPS Announces Changes to the Postmark Date System The United States Postal Service (USPS) has adopted a final rule (FR Doc.

nstp.org/article/usps...

As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.

If you use mail on balloting, I'm begging you to get it in early as possible. The USPS has done away with postmarking mail the day they receive it. It's now when it gets to the processing center, which could be any point in the future, not necessarily before the day of the election. Same for taxes.

"Republican States"...

C'mon, you can say it... it's true.

The GOP wants to destroy your health care, reproductive rights, Social Security, Medicare, Snap benefits, housing, you name it.

Remember to vote early if using a mail-in ballot, they just got rid of post-marking the day they receive it.

Hey FYI, new USPS rules put in place to fuck your right to vote using a mail in ballot, as well as screwing you on your taxes, if not your monthly billing...

A beautiful 360⁰ pic of Kinsale, Ireland, at Noon, you can see 2 forts, Charles Fort and James Fort, as well as Archdeacon Duggan Bridge, built in the mid 1970s. In addition you can see the marina, and much of the town, albeit at a distance. From Wikipedia: Charles Fort (Irish: Dún Chathail) is a trace italienne fortification, a bastion fort with one section of the outer wall built in star fashion. It is located at the southern end of the village of Summer Cove, on Kinsale harbour, County Cork, Ireland. First completed in 1682, Charles Fort was sometimes historically referred to as the "new fort", to contrast with James' Fort (the "old fort") which had been built on the other side of Kinsale harbour before 1607. From WordPress: James Fort was contstructed shortly after the British defeated the Ulster forces of O’Donnell and O’Neill when they tried to combine with the Spanish at the Battle of Kinsale in 1602. Kinsale was the death knell for the Irish forces and resulted in the Flight of the Earls. The port at Kinsale became a British Stronghold. Naval base: Kinsale served as an important naval base for centuries, and an underwater chain could be strung between the two forts to scuttle enemy ships during wartime. RMS Lusitania: The harbor is also notable as the closest land to where the RMS Lusitania was sunk in 1915.

Pic taken from high ground in Kinsale, 360⁰ view.

Kinsale served as the busiest Harbor in Ireland in the 16th, and much of the 17th century.

Being built in the 13th century, it's easy to see why parking is not easy in town.

An 80 mile slightly anxiety inducing drive brought us to the crater of the Haupa'akea Peak, at Noon. The clouds roll over the lip of the cauldron, at 10,000 feet above sea level, and make it hard to judge whether you are looking at the sky or the ocean. The mist over the lower elevations sometimes made it hard to tell how high up the mountain we were.
