Some perspective to consider for countries implored by trump to fix a Strait of Hormuz/oil problem he created.

trump will always ask for more, and there is no bottom to his outrageous demands. Avoid his slippery slope. Instead, allow rational political cohorts to defeat him in midterm elections.

Nothing better than an ear blanket. Makes me want to adopt an elephant.

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.

A truly extraordinary moment.

We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.

Act like it.

McGowan: You're saying 46 Americans died, so we should attack this country. Here at home, 68,000 Americans die a year because they don't have health insurance. So, if we're going to spend billions of dollars on something…

Over 2,500 years old! Fish from Tlatilco, Valley of Mexico (Estado de Mexico), black clay, 1200 BCE-400 BCE. The eyes were marked with a round tool. After firing, it was decorated by scraping, which left a rough texture on the fins and part of the body, and then rubbed with red pigment.

I interpret this as pretentious faux intelligence. Smart people with an important view to share do everything they can to be clearly understood.

European Starling
The beat box of all the song birds, these guys can mimic different species. Their playlist contains up to 20 calls.
Today, an estimated 93 million European Starling live and sing in North America. #photography #birds #nature

A nose hit like that results in a split. No spare bonus count, losers. It also means the prima donna that made this insipid clip doesn’t know how to bowl, and is probably too young to legally drink beer.

Easy to imagine watching him pull a black Sharpie from his pocket...walk over to a military map hanging on the wall...and voilΓ , introducing the Strait of Peace.

Frankly, I'd like to see every orange lackey get a permanent trump tattoo on their forehead (to prove their fealty, demands Donald the Orange). That will make it easier to identify and incarcerate those criminals after the next voting cycle.

If not for the national and global harm they cause, it might be entertaining to watch trump lower the bar with each deliberate humiliation of his sycophantic cabinet. Next we will see them all wearing red neckties so long that they trip over their too large Florsheim shoes.

Wanted to do some more exploring during low tide at unfamiliar coastlines and stumbled across some beautiful conglomerate fossils.

If that's the case, all of trump's voters must be eagerly anticipating $5/gallon.

I love the way she stomps her Florsheim penny loafers when she's angry.

I for one will not be subsidizing $100,000,000 player salaries via outrageous sports channel extortion subscriptions. I’d rather trim hedges, I suppose. MLB ought to be more prudent about preserving their fan base, who by the way have plenty of other options to invest their time.

Remember when you could watch your local sports teams for free on your tv?
