A shelter received a donation of stuffed toys and let each dog pick 1.
How selfless. They each only pick 1.

Meet MACC’s Wiggly Giggly.

Gaspar is a year old and 53 lbs. He is a ball of energy. He loves wrestling and running with his friends and would make a great adventure partner. He can also fly. (Footage courtesy of his foster parent)

Don’t forget LBJ and the war on poverty. If the Dems could just divorce themselves from wall street and dirty money, grow a spine and a set of cajones, and walk the walk, that’d be super.

Killing survivors of your drone attack sounds super tough and manly until future enemies follow this now established practice with our own troops.

Something I learned from combat, I’ve had this saying ever since:

When you are outgunned, remove the guns from the equation.

Workers bent over harvesting celery

Workers bent over harvesting celery

"RaΓΊl" sent us this photo of his crew harvesting celery in Soledad, CA. "We must cut very quickly. We stay bent over is this allows us to harvest more rapidly. We need to harvest more than 1,000 boxes this day." #WeFeedYou

One thing i appreciate as a glasses wearer is you can go in to most opticians and say "i lost a bridge pad"

INSTANTLY a tiny old guy will Tom Bombadil himself out of a door you didn't even know was there.

He will have a box. And a tiny screwdriver.

And ten minutes later your glasses are fixed.

Seen recently on my neighbor's large yard sign, which is updated often - the author, a Vietnam veteran, headed his sign with a brilliant drawing of the bloated, orange face of our dear leader. The author writes, "Proof you don't have to fly a plane into a building to ruin a country."

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Massie: β€œ[Speaker Johnson is] trying to say the rich, powerful men who flew to Epstein Island are the victims now. The only way a β€˜Christian man’ can stand up there and sell a lie like that is if he’s already decided in his head that protecting them is somehow okay.”
