Today will live in infamy!
Lest not forget the tyranny we fought against
after the bombing of Pearl Harbor
and the loss of great battleships like the USS Arizona BB-39
on December 7th, 1941!

Enjoy your Friday.
Have fun!

"Civilization began the first time an
angry person cast a word instead of a rock."
~ Sigmund Freud (1856 - 1939)

"So, as much as in me is,
I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ:
for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one
that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek."
~ Romans 1:15-16 KJV (1769 edition)

TL;DR: A huge, long-haired Maine Coon cat sits front-and-center, staring directly at the camera with an intense, lion-like expression and massive fluffy paws. Details: A very large, long-haired Maine Coon cat sits facing the camera, occupying most of the frame. His fur is thick and dramatic, with a full, cascading mane around his neck and chest that gives him a regal, almost mythic presence. His coat is a mix of silvery gray, charcoal, and soft white, with darker tabby markings along his face and shoulders. His ears are tall and tufted at the tips, angled outward like a lynx. He’s looking directly at the viewer with narrowed, golden-brown eyes and a serious, almost judgmental expression, mouth slightly parted as if mid-grunt or mid-meow. His front legs are huge and heavily furred, with big tufted paws resting squarely in front of him. He’s positioned indoors in a living space. Behind him are warm wooden cabinets, an oven, a floor-to-ceiling cat tower, and a hallway lit by a bright lamp that casts a soft glow around one side of his head. The overall lighting is moody and low, which makes his silvery fur stand out sharply against the darker background. The vibe is “majestic house panther who owns the lease, the deed, and the WiFi password.”

Frederick couldn’t wait til #Caturday to tell you “Have a good day.. or else.”

Most people think when the world gets itself together, we'll all be okay. I don't see that situation arriving. I think one by one, we all free ourselves from the chains we have chained ourselves to. - George Harrison

Trump supporters climb the west wall of the the U.S. Capitol

Kash Patel: "When you attack our nation's capitol, you attack the very being of our way of life — We will always refute it & combat it"

Unless you’re J6 insurrectionist who attacks the capitol — then you receive a pardon & get called a patriot…

A little thread about my lunch, with a little nostalgia for the Edmonton folks who follow me who used to work downtown!

First though: rice bowl!

BERMAN: Would it be legal for police in Arkansas to kill suspected drug dealers on a boat in a lake?

TOM COTTON: The premise of your question is not well-founded


BERMAN: The answer is no. It would not be legal to kill them.

#MorningPrayer
You sow into our lives, Lord,
the seeds of your kingdom,
of your love,
that we may bear
the good fruit of your grace.
Although we allow other seeds
also to take root within us
and bear their own fruit,
sift from us that
which is not of you;
fill us with your peace.

It's unbelievable how corrupt the Supreme Court is. It's insane that we are letting them get away with it. They are taking away all of our rights.

Tell Congress: Support discharge petition to force vote on ACA tax credits Contact Congress today!

While Mike Johnson is running around trying to act like he’s not the most incompetent Speaker in US history, we’re pushing hard to extend the ACA tax credits for millions of Americans.

We’re almost there, and you can help!

A war criminal without a war It's just murder.

New in PN: A war criminal without a war

"We’re watching the flimsy justifications fall apart in real time. They can try to shift the blame. They can try to say that people clinging to wreckage for dear life are somehow an active threat. But in the end, it’s just murder."

My favorite Christmas comedy is...
'The Home Alone series'.

My top 5 Christmas movies:
1. It's a Wonderful Life (1946 Black and White version)
2. Miracle on 34th Street (both versions)
3. How the Grinch stole Christmas (2000)
4. A Christmas Carol (1984 version)
5. A Christmas Story (1983)

It is Thursday!
Be Thankful!
