Birds are such magnificent creatures.
It's no wonder that we humans so wanted to be able to fly ourselves.
You're fortunate to have such wildlife in sight nearby.

Trump Removes Sanctions on Russia to Help Oil Flow Amid Iran Conflict

So, there you have it.
Was this the plan all along?

Always, mf-ing always, going light on Putin.
Even though Russia was aiding Iran by providing real-time intel on U.S. military assets.

So, "unfortunate,” but, "only for the short term."
Yeah, right.

Pentagon bars press photographers over ‘unflattering’ Hegseth photos Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s staff took issue with photos taken in a rare briefing last week and decided to shut out press photographers from two subsequent news conferences.

"Unflattering." Ha-ha-ha.
If you're a slimey asshole inside — and out — it's bound to show.🤣
Afterall, these photographers are pros. Right.

Just like 🐸 stuff, 🦎 stuff is important.
For them. And for us.💚🙏

You've got to be a boorish, simple-minded, thoughtless fuck to respond that you could "live" with the result of a report when the subject concerns responsibility for the loss of the "lives" of children.

Not an iota of shame for the loss of human life.

Fuck this disgusting bastard!💢😠

Remember:
—former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley writing "Finish Them!" on an Israeli shell meant for Hamas?
—Rapist and Convicted Felon Trump saying “Let Israel finish the job” in Gaza?
—Scumbag Netanyahu saying that about Hezbollah in Lebanon, and urging Iranians to "finish the job"?

Quick war, right?

Scumbag Netanyahu's had a hard-on to do Iran from way back.
So he's got Rapist and Convicted Felon Trump tagging along on this vanity war.
Should have been Israel's move, Israel's alone.
Now the region's fucked.
Now the global economy's fucked.💢😠

Why Hillary Clinton but not Melania?

Why isn't Melania being called to testify before a Congressional committee?

If needed, get an interpreter, god damn it!💢😠

International Women's Day | United Nations The purpose of the day is to uphold women’s achievements, recognize challenges, and focus greater attention on women’s rights and gender equality to mobilize all people to do their part.

It's International Women's Day!

As a guy I'm embarrassed that it should be every day, and that the world needed the UN to create this honor.

To all ladies IRL, on social media, online, and everywhere:
you are appreciated.
Gratitude!❤️🙏

Kristi Noem's ouster isn't enough. Democrats say they want her to pay. Even though Trump ousted Noem as homeland security secretary, Democrats say they plan to still push for investigations and possibly even impeachment.

Oh, hell, and here I was hoping not to having to see that puffy-lipped puppy-slayer in the news anymore.

And, BTW, now that Noem's out, what's going to happen to her "special government employee" Corey who was working... er... under her?

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces, officials say The targeting information has included the locations of American warships and aircraft in the Middle East, the officials said.

So, why aren't we hearing Rapist and Convicted Felon Trump pleading, "Please stop, Vladimir. Ple-a-s-e sto-o-o-p...."

You know why.
An so do I.

One of your more trad stylings.

Your mosaic of talents is really something to crow about! 🐓😊😍🙏

Wow, that looks huge!
Use it for cooking, or eat it fresh?

Photo of a masked palm civet eating food (apples, mandarin oranges, bananas) put out in a residential garden in Tokyo for birds to eat during the winter months when their natural food sources are scarcer. Though civets are nocturnal, this one was out during the day. Its "masked" appearance comes from the white stripe that runs from its forehead down the nose.

No, separate genus.
Here are pics of a masked palm civet grabbing food (apples, mandarin oranges, bananas) put out in our garden for birds during the winter months. Though civets are nocturnal, this one was out during the day. The Japanese name "hakubishin" loosely translates as "white nose stripe."

"America First"?

Nah.

Forget that racist, meaningless bullshit slogan.
It's only Rapist and Convicted Felon "Trump First" that matters.😠💢

That's the only thing that did, does and will matter.
At least for the foreseeable future.

For the more distant future, all bets are off.

Remember this:

No matter what — and especially who — it is,
Everything Rapist and Convicted Felon Trump touches dies.😠💢

Don't ever forget it.

Photo of three cats lying together on a pink and red comforter. They are two sisters and a brother, from top to bottom: Noe (Noelani), a brown tabby girl with a bit of orange here and there; Tabi, a gray-and-white tabby girl; and Felix, a camera-shy handsome boy tuxedo cat with his back turned to the camera. These three and every cat who's shared life here has been a rescue. All born wild. Adopt, don't shop. Please!

Well, these three might look like gentle and normally domesticated kitties, but they were born wild, and I assure you that under this roof they are certified wild-ass hellions. I've got the scars to prove it, but I'll refrain from sending those pics.🤣

Ah, I see the makings of a headband to ward off incorrigible hey-gimme-a-huggers.🤣

So, it's been revealed. Just as surmised:
Scumbag Netanyahu played Rapist and Convicted Felon Trump,
and
Rapist and Convicted Felon Trump played America.💢😠

Wow, nice one.😍
That reflection really makes this pic a winner. Chef's kiss!

I guess many people don't change their settings (like those screaming No DMs w/o knowing they can block them).

Perhaps some prudes have cinched up — er, tweaked — theirs, but it's easy to set to one's liking:

Settings/Moderation/Enable adult content/Non-sexual Nudity/Show

That's why I see yours.😍

I can see how that tide function could be quite useful for women’s health and for women surfers.🙂
