OT timeline cleanse: I had lunch at a Thai place that had this small, pretty centerpiece, so I put it on a maroon seat cushion, used my iPhone's 5X lens to compress the look, and it came out with a clean seamless background with a natural soft front shadow. Pad Thai was good, too!

Okay, one last distraction before I pour myself into bed. The bagel place made these nice bags up for Valentine's Day this morning. Obviously this only works with the Everything Bagel because "You are my Sesame" doesn't really resonate well as an expression of love.

I'm sorry for all the posts today – I'm prepping taxes for my accountant and looking for diversions. One of our local mainstays transformed their iconic lobster pot holiday tree into a Valentine's presentation and it looks very nice, as seen here. Tap for full size.

Always nice to see a little family togetherness on Valentine's Day.

TO RECAP: - The president will grant the most notorious living sex trafficker on the planet clemency, if she testifies that he’s innocent - They don’t want you to believe the thousands of women who were victims of Epstein - But they do expect you to believe ONE woman, Ghislaine Maxwell

James Comer is bringing Hillary Clinton before his committee to testify about Epstein despite having zero contact with him, but not Epstein’s neighbor Howard Lutnick who lied about his connections to Epstein over many years which is proven in the files.

I hope the Clintons turn the tables on the GOP shit show, and that Jordan and Comer regret it for the rest of their lives.

MANPEDO of STEAL!

As a timeline cleanse, here's a photo of the full moon setting over the hills of Highlands, NJ this morning. I wasn't in love with it because it's highly cropped so as you'll see it's pretty crumbly, but my family loved it, so here it is. I hope you have had a great day!

I wad waiting for a post from you just so I could say you've done nothing. You're doing nothing and we want you to leave. You aren't up to this fight. You want to compromise and we don't. RESIGN!

This is a cover up of a murder, led by our own federal government.
