Ummm… all 14 for me. I’ll chalk it up to being old. 😉

You’re ripe with intelligence and applying it to thought formulation. You also possess an ample portfolio of aesthetics to drive poignancy. Then, there’s the beer, which I imagine sustains your raconteur leanings. ❤️

Let me make this perfectly clear. Portland, my city, is under NO threat. There is maybe a couple dozen people at the ICE building & today they were there doing the electric slide.
We don’t need or want troops, and all that’s going to happen if they come is someone is going to get hurt.

It must have been good conversation. 😉

I’ve been to Yosemite in the fall, which has an advantage of fewer crowds. However, my last trip there in May, underscores that the falls are at their magnificent best in late spring.

Mike Johnson says “Republicans are the ones who care about healthcare.” Meanwhile, 40% of his Louisiana district relies on Medicaid and he helped pass the OBBB, which made major cuts to it. Republicans don’t care about healthcare, they care about empty talking points.

The emperor's favorite dish… and one of mine. And the early fall weather is perfect for a good veal Marengo. Find out all about Napoleon’s fetish dish and its creation on the battlefield…and the recipe.

NO FARMER BAILOUT

Farmers keep voting for their own destruction & my tax dollars shouldn’t be used to fund it. Trump’s expected to announce a new bailout. He wrecked them w/tariffs, then acts like a hero by bailing them out w/our money.

They’ll cash the check, then vote to burn it all down again.

NOW you look just fine… back to normal — no more Invalid Handle ⬇️

I think I vaguely recall this type of glitch occurring some time back, maybe months ago. I think it has to be a glitch, though.

Actually, it DOES look like that, and also, when I click onto your profile, I see the "Invalid Handle" notation, but otherwise everything seems "normal"

JUDGE: Again, this is an emergency hearing with limited briefing. No new information has been provided about issues in Portland, so for all of the reasons stated in my prior opinion, I GRANT plaintiffs second motion for a TRO. 16/

NOW: Starting a new thread on the Portland National Guard hearing happening now. We're in the hearing. 1/

I guess... normal (or normal as can be) on my end.

BREAKING: Immergut has *granted* Oregon and California's motion to block the new call-up of Guard troops to Portland. She says this effort to bring CA and TX troops to Oregon is in "direct contravention" of her oroginal order.

Not me... and neither do you show up as Invalid Handle either for me.

I’m somewhat impartial since the #SFGiants aren’t in the post-season this year. I have a feeling that Detroit’s ace pitcher Tarik Skubal will have a good game vs. Mariners.

No, Meesh, this wasn’t a nail-biter… the Jays had 13-2 lead going into the 7th… and though the Yankees scored 5 runs in the top of the 7th, they didn’t get any closer. 😆 It must have been demoralizing for Yankee fans, who hoped Fried, their ace/ Cy Young candidate, was going to shut down the Jays.

Gov. Newsom says Trump administration has deployed California National Guard troops to Oregon The move comes one day after a federal judge blocked the president's plan to deploy Oregon National Guard troops in Portland.

WTF. Federal court ruled against Trump sending OR National Guard to Portland. So…he’s sending CALIFORNIA National Guard to Oregon. Time for another lawsuit! #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue

Pliny the Younger - Russian River Brewing Company

This is my fave IPA, Pliny the Younger, but it’s only available for a couple of weeks each year — next limited release is about 5+ mos. away, from Russian River Brewing Company. Ppl come in from all over the country every year for a taste. One year, it was ranked the best beer in the world.

I can’t remember the last time I had a light beer. TBH, I don’t know that I’ve EVER had a light beer. I usually lean toward IPA’s. Here are the 2 types of beers I have in the fridge right now.

We do not deploy American forces against Americans in our own cities.

Our military is not trained for domestic law enforcement.

It’s illegal and un-American.
