LOL you gotta hand it to South Korea for gifting Trump a Silla dynasty crown. For those that don't know; that dynasty fell to financial instability, incredibly high taxes, wealth inequality and widespread rebellion against their king. Trump is too dumb to understand this is a prophecy and President Lee is basking in this moment, deservedly.

Prince Andrew sure received a light sentence from BROTHER KING for hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein and his girls. Sent to live at a 20,000 estate owned by the royal family complete with royal mansion. Similar to King Trump who pardons lawbreakers, thieves and insurrectionists.

When Trump acts against the interests of farmers, we don’t hear a peep from Idaho officials β€’ Idaho Capital Sun There was a time in the distant past when Idaho elected officials had moral compasses and were dedicated to serving the interests of the Gem State. Since agriculture is so important to the Idaho econo...

Excellent analysis contrasting Idaho’s elected officials of yesteryear who stood up to those who harmed Idaho to today’s congressional mopes who hide out in fear of crossing Trump.

Just saw a post that said former friends couldn’t be trusted with knowing where Anne Frank was hiding. I know 4 Idaho elected officials in Idahoβ€”Simpson, Fulcher, Risch and Crepo who who would give her up on Trump’s request.

The good news is Yesavage has not looked sharp, velo down since the regular season and Yankees dominance.

Bad news is that’s inconsequential if the Mariners keep hitting laser grounders right at people with bases loaded.

Great article by the Idaho Capital Sun on letting the salmon run and return to their home waters.

A tall β€œvirgin” pine on our place. There are several of these survivors on the place. My great great grandfather may have stood by this tree. We lost one of the biggest on the property to a lightning strike recently. Anyway I love these old trees.

In Seattle unlike in Florida where I live they can have nice things because their governor isn’t afraid of paint on the sidewalks.
Stay classy Seattle. Thanks for a great trip. Even if some of your hills almost killed me πŸ˜€πŸ˜€

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

Their parents never got them vaccinated. As young adults, they faced a choice. Falling vaccination rates around the country mean more will grow up without protection from debilitating diseases until they are old enough to decide for themselves, typically at age 18.

Pretty wild to be alive in a time when the United States is being stripped down and sold for parts by a wretched con man and his cronies.
