Answer me this: Why do birds sing so vociferously in the morning? Is it because they are so very happy to be alive? Are they greeting the new day? By mid day they seem all sung out till evening. My theories all seem very anthropogenic. #Birds #AnimalBehavior

Trump personally unveiled the new AF1 today, a converted Qatari jet (cost unrevealed). "This plane was transformed into a flying White House at a level of luxury that nobody's ever seen before," he said. People can't make ends meet, the country is in chaos, but not to worry - he has a new toy.

Not "America" - the greediest among us who we elected to "lead" our country have abandonned the most vulnerable among us. They see no use for poor people beyond cheap labor and believe they deserve to suffer, even die, because they are too foolish to be rich. They're inferior.

The nation turns a blind eye, but the eye was never blind — it simply chose to look elsewhere.

My God. The opening ceremony of the Obama Center is a beautiful display of American hope, diversity, and integrity. What a contrast to the pathetically stupid display at the White House last weekend.

Again. No surprise here. Families face rising grocery costs at the same time that many of the #MostVulnerable are losing access to nation’s largest food assistance program, #SNAP. #America turns a blind eye to the poor among us. idahocapitalsun.com/2026/06/18/r...

I love owls. Look at these cuties.

It's confusing, but the SAVE America ACT is different from the SAVE Program. (Lots of saving going on, but in both cases the word is a misnomer.)
