Marc is a rich weasel with no moral compass but a keen eye on profit potential. He should read the parable of the rich man.

The scene you captured is so serene.

Thanks for bringing that upโ€ฆ.

That looks blustery.

Sunset in Pahrump, Nv. Lights of Ian Deutch Park, athletic fields for youth shine. Officer Deutch was killed in the line of duty by a disgruntled husband during a domestic violence situation.

Yep, but post said, if factual, I donโ€™t know, 1/4 of adults arenโ€™t reading above 5th grade level. I agree present day American is discarding worthy people. Everything turns around the almighty dollar. It makes me sick, the people deserve better.

Agree. The Supreme Courtโ€™s ruling on executive immunity, overturning the courtโ€™s of appeal, has unleashed lawlessness on our land. Their ruling in favor of Trump is a black mark on equal justice for all in our country.

What does that say about our public education system? An abysmal failure that positions many for less than upward mobilityโ€ฆ.

Sunset in Pahrump, Nevada, from back patio. Flash Flood Warning continues, there has been flooding and road closures about 4 miles northwest of us.

Raining in Pahrump, Nevada, remnants of Hurricane Priscilla brought moisture up to southwestern Nevada. View from back patio.

First moisture from Hurricane Priscilla arrives in Southern Nevada. Morning walk along Winery Road, Pahrump, Nevada.

This isnโ€™t what American used to be. Almost half of Americans still support autocracy in the form of Trump, heโ€™s talking 2028. Heaven help the rest of us along for the ride.

Our federal government is broken. Debt mounts, services decline. Establish federal term limits. Establish short campaign periods. Establish strict limits on campaign contributions. Or, the government eventually collapses under all the hypocrisy.

I donโ€™t know how anyone watching the oversight hearing with AG Bondi can come away with anything but a profound feeling that our national government is broken.

What? My curiosity is piqued. Sort of impressed, myself.

Find it odd that the proposed Trump coin has โ€˜Fight, Fight..โ€™ circling outside rim when silver spoon fed Trump has had more given to him without work or fighting any other American.

Warrants? We donโ€™t need no stinking warrants! Treasure of the Sierra Madre.

But we have gold leaf in the White House. Keep fiddling while Mother Earth burnsโ€ฆ

Of course they did, cowards. Their announced $400B investment in the USA will probably be a stock buy back. Trump is too dumb to understand that but likes the optics of appearing to coerce a willing corporation to his whim.

Beautiful. Have this or similar plant in pot on front patio providing beautiful color all summer.

Fat face, false bravado, basically worthless coin that wonโ€™t buy a third of a gallon of gas where I live.

Extra judicial murder will one day cause these soulless minions a lot of stress, money. The pendulum will swing and those playing fast and loose with the law will face accountability; unfortunately, our plump, aged president probably wonโ€™t be here to face the music.

Iโ€™m ready and braced for tough times. Maybe some rabid Trumpers will finally get the message their idol espouses bullshit when their medical premiums skyrocket, rural hospitals close, mass layoffs occur, and prices spiral upโ€ฆ

This is exactly what is wrong with Congress, rules and procedures to avoid a true substantive vote. No wonder weโ€™re all disheartened.

So sorry for your loss. They are family.

Too bad heavy precipitation misses the Pahrump Valley in southwest Nevada.

03.10.2025 22:44 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Yep, and federal Congressional term limits. Shorten federal campaign times. Publicly fund all qualifying federal campaigns stopping the legalized bribery.

Yep, and the MAGA minions would rather give a tax break to billionaires than provide life saving medical care to ordinary citizens. Millions of them will be hit hard.
