I can find no reliable info confirming this. Lots of opinions and memes circulating. Articles from unfamiliar sources seem less inflammatory about the actual damage and no mention of casualties. The US seems to be uninformed about its own operation, saying "we're looking into it". A cover up?
He called it what it is - fraud.
Politicians, military spokespersons, and the media need to speak and write using accurate words, describing EXACTLY what is going on. Softening and qualifying language is partly what got us in this mess. Say what it is: calculated, racist, sinister, are just a few.
How about sending them packing? Drive them out. No hotel, no bathrooms, no food, no camping. No accommodations! If they stay, arrest them.
She, or more likely, his team of miscreants, had to dig for some obscure bit of history trivia in order to justify this ridiculous transfer of a medallion. Transferring one's Olympic gold medal doesn't make the recipient an accomplished athlete. The Nobel committee should rescind her prize.
It's hard to believe that 39% of those polled still support him. That's a lot of people, right? Where are these people? Who are these people? What exactly are they supporting?
There are several women writing brilliantly on Substack about this very issue.
Does this one count? Rosa Rugosa, or what I call Beach Rose because they are commonly found on the shore in my corner of the world. I think they were brought over from Asia, considered invasive, but I love them.
And a peachy rose, also from my garden.
Here are a few more from my garden. Sorry, I don't know their names.
Roses for Kate. This one from my garden
Interesting. I'm a musician, too, and can not listen to music as background for purposes of concentration or relaxation. Music is ok if I'm prepping food for the fridge or making a meal. But even then, it depends on the music, nothing too exciting or intense, lest I chop off a finger! Happy New Year
If ICE was under control, what would that look like? Would that really be acceptable?
Agreed. I've written to him multiple times. "Stop posturing. Do something!" It's just words. They're waiting for the midterms, trying to hold onto their congressional seat, thinking they can't rock the boat too much. Then they ask for more donations to do the job they're already being paid to do.
Peace on earth.
Goodwill to all people.
A blessed Winter Solstice to all. May the long dark night give you rest. And lead you toward your inner light.

Artful.
AI is the end game. Does anyone see this? Does Cuban not see this? Or maybe this is the point?
Among many "greatest" Christmas albums.

Chiropractic treatment has a lower risk of injury than primary care. Allopathic medicine is not without risks, injuries, malpractice, opportunists, and outright quacks. Each methodology can help or harm.

Ok. Thanks. But the fact that we need such a reminder is disturbing. The rally was 2 months ago. Where is everyone? Do we not care about our failing democracy because it's the holiday season? Where is the resistance?
Thanks for posting. I can't, in good conscience 💙 this article. The conditions described are inexcusable. Apparently, as a nation, we're barbarians, willing to let women and trans people risk Toxic Shock rather than provide adequate sanitary products. It's shameful.
Wonderful, George! Best wishes for a great concert.
Aww....destroying your own country is hard work.
Seriously. Lemon juice. Apple cider vinegar. Chanca Piedra is "the stone breaker". I take these daily.
Looks good. Neat, clean, functional.
Seagull gearing up. It's got something to say! The shore at the Stratford, CT seawall.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?
I keep hoping they'll bring babies, but not so far. I've seen juveniles. A few years ago there was an injured adult that came to the feeders daily. Rehab folks would not take her unless I caught her, which was impossible. I kept her fed and watered for a month. She recovered enough to fly away.
