What’s truly dangerous is Americans are more concerned with today’s stock or gas prices than what the country wants to be in 100 years. We actually COULD be great if we thought like that.

Or a big lamp shade.

Enjoyed hosting the Lane County (Oregon) plein air painters at our farm.

Quail enjoying a dirt bath in our garden box.

I believe America is stronger when educated.

Whether our skin is black, white, brown, green, or purple. Whether we are male or female, whether we are millionaires or homeless, scientists or construction workers.

Education only makes us better as a people, and more able to compete in this world.

Look at the picture.

That’s a “paper ballot”.

It was mailed to a “VoterID” on the state Voter Roll.

When returned by the voter and checked for legitimacy, it’s counted just like it would be if you stood in a booth. If you stood in a booth, it wouldn’t be checked.

This is all theater!

Map shows countries with mail-in ballots as Trump vows to ban voting format

President Donald Trump claimed on Truth Social that the U.S. is "the only Country in the World that uses Mail-In Voting."

Do you know how you counter a powerful bully? You bring all your friends!

DNC needs a platform issue to ban partisan gerrymandering when they reassume power in Congress.

I like the use of alternate colors.

Trump Is Making History History | Opinion

One has to wonder: What will Trump do if the midterm elections don't go his way? What narrative will he craft then, and how much will it endanger what's left of our republic?

Currently listening to Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents by Isabel Wilkerson. Chapter 8/Nazis, they studied how the American system legalized misogyny and racism through the decades, then patterned the “best” of it. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caste:_...

What if the reporters (those with integrity) from networks that have converted to State Run TV, just quit and formed a subscription model internet streaming network to present real news.
Gets them out from under FCC control and corporate “financial decisions”.

His only job is to neuter the Constitution, install the Oligarchy, then get out having secured an eternal income stream for his family.

This isn’t “Conservative” ideology, that would imply “conserving” something.

Has it occurred to anyone else that the last time a Republican president was removed from office was because he covered up tapes (a "file") pursuant to a criminal act?

That should remind us what presidents should not be doing, upon pain of removal.

While we’re focused on loss of healthcare and tax transfer payments to the wealthy, this bill coincidentally creates the largest and best funded Secret Police in history. Over the Stasi, over the SS, and without accountability.

Probably better ask ourselves why.

Found it. It’s an Austrian Firld Pea from a cover crop mix I had. I’ll save all the pods to replant next time. Deer can eat it OK. trueleafmarket.com/products/aus...

Oooh, Blauwschokkers look amazing, esp w the dark purple pods. Pods of these are green. www.etsy.com/listing/1253...

Do you know what kind of pea this is? A volunteer in my garden. Not a sweet pea, no fragrance. The pods/peas look edible…

It's International Knit in Public Day!

California Attorney General Rob Bonta points out that Donald Trump is making "deliberate and intentional" use of trigger words that suggest he is angling to invoke the Insurrection Act because he desperately wants the power it would give him.

Skyscapes today.

Sweet discovery among the grape vines.

I wonder if he’s just there as the Front Man. And that Vance, Vought and Miller are running the country (into the P2025 ground), telling him what to sign and when.
The more he “goes off”, the more it obfuscates their insurrection.

It’s possible the President just “levied war against the United States”.
He absolutely has “adhered to our enemies and given them aid and comfort”.

Article III Section 3 sets the rules defining Treason.
