When Kegsbreath said "no quarter," shouldn't someone have asked him if he planned to bomb more schools? The media has said the school hit was due to old maps, but we're allied with Israel, known for massacring civilians, & Kegsbreath did fire the group that was supposed to check the target list.

Don't those bone spurs still hurt? "Time to end the war," they're saying.

In 2011, Grassley & fellow photo-opers displayed similar "solemnity" at a "solemn" transfer. Expressions of outrage followed.

Now, back at the feces-eating faces of glee routine. 7 Iowans dead. Not much of a learner is our Chuck, eh? Nor his chums. Happy faces for happy times?

New York State needs to get ahold of the evidence & convict them of at least one state crime. Trump can't pardon them out of that nor stop the trial. Also, state prisons are worse than federal ones.

The phrase "Epstein class" as a synonym for billionaire should be used frequently.

Don't forget the clip with Lindsay Graham gleefully announcing "We're going to make a ton of money." Who's "we?" Ain't me.

Getting money Trump owes you is a windfall indeed. Ask E Jean Carroll. Or New York State. Or the folks who destroyed the East Wing. Or the folks who built his casinos. He's probably bankrupted more businesses than he has bankrupted himself. No mean feat. Well, mean, in a different way.

During the Biden admin, some active military decided the COVID vaccine order was illegal, & defied it. With some cheerleading from various Repugs. Note: active duty military have gotten numerous vaccines, per orders, for years. Defiers got 2nd chances, but then dishonorable discharges, etc.

His mental problems need to be mentioned as often as possible. Preferably talk about his gait, his posture, his trouble focusing, his slurring words, his word substitutions (excursion for incursion; oranges for origins). Those signs are observable by anyone & are not political per se.

If some demented boss sent you the wrong size shoes, you could exchange them for the correct size. Or buy your own pair yourself. How stupid are they? & are we to believe he called in the order himself? Pervy Paws employs no competent admins? Who would think to check the sizes first?

The title invokes the Indigenous agricultural teaching of the Three Sisters ... corn, beans, and squash ... grown together in mutual support. Mvskoke (Creek) Nation artist Starr Hardridge turns that ecological relationship into a human image of kinship, reciprocity, and continuity. 

Three Indigenous women sit shoulder to shoulder before a dense wall of tall green plants. Their bodies form a calm horizontal rhythm, but each face turns in a different direction, creating a sense of individuality within kinship. The woman at left wears a warm rust and orange patterned dress. The central figure wears a deep brown outfit and long braids while the woman at right wears a vivid magenta-purple garment. All three wear large white aprons that catch the light and anchor the composition with brightness. Their hands rest quietly in their laps. The plants rises closely behind them, almost like a protective screen, surrounding the figures in living green. Hardridge’s surface is carefully structured and highly finished, balancing hyper-realism with stylized pattern so that cloth, skin, and plant life feel equally intentional and symbolic.

The women do not simply sit in front of plants. They seem held within a living system of nourishment and inheritance. The corn rises behind them like a protective curtain, while the squash leaves spread low across the foreground, rooting the figures in land-based knowledge. Hardridge’s contemporary Muscogee visual language joins realism with pattern and ancestral design, making the painting feel both intimate and ceremonial. Painted for the 2024 Mvskoke Art Market, where it won first place in painting, the work was soon acquired by the Philbrook Museum of Art. In their collection, it becomes a visible and powerful statement about Indigenous presence, food sovereignty, feminine strength, and the enduring intelligence of community.

"We" is doing some heavy lifting. I've lived in 11 different states. I don't know of anyone outside the Epstein class who makes a lot of money from rising oil prices.

So all this effort to bully law-abiding people, kill citizens, etc, but no action against allegedly ID'd sleeper cells.Thanks, Pervy Paws, Patel, Noem, & all the Republican senators who supported them in their cosplaying caring about security.

Talk about the medical problems in non political terms. His gait & posture show brain damage. His increasing frequency of slurring words = brain damage. His zoning out in public. His befuddled word choices (oranges for origins): brain damage.

The phrase "too feeble-minded to make life/death decisions" needs to enter the national discussion. People are making vague feints with "cognitively challenged." Get real. Try "mentally decaying at an inexorable rate."
