The volcano has blown up, and I am running ahead of the lava flow. Mostly here for photography, but I’m not above politically inspired obscenities, if unavoidable.

Why won’t white house reporters ask questions with flattery as bait, and end with something real? It’s the only way to get anything resembling truth from the podium. Example: “You’ve had a lot of financial success as president. What are your post-presidency plans for such a huge stockpile of cash?”

The average age of a US Senator is 64 and rising. The average age of a US voter is 52 and falling. This is getting to be like your retired dad telling you what you can and can’t do, even though you’re grown, working, and paying a mortgage. Congress is out of touch, and too old to adapt.

3 men in a black suv pulled a woman over in rural a oregon. Had all the tactical gear face masks bp vests with police badges etc. Screamed at her to get out of the car. forced her into the back and raped her for 20 minutes. no connection to ICE or LE. Yet we are told to just comply amazon or ice?

Total non sequitur here, but Senator Chris Coons looks like every telegraph operator in every Old West town from every black and white tv western show that was ever the hell made. Seriously. Put one of those visors on him and sleeve garters and presto! "Telegraph from San Francisco, Sheriff”

It’s Nature’s Way of telling you something’s wrong. Smoke from wildfires a thousand miles away make the sun look like a distant, alien star. No edits, taken in my back yard today at 1800 hours.

Smoky sky and weakened, orange sunlight.

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years: Tax cuts for the rich ...don’t trickle down Boosting military spending ...doesn’t bring peace Slashing regulations ...doesn’t create jobs Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

The senator had just announced Friday that a new package of sanctions would be launched against Russia for its continued aggression in Ukraine, from which he had recently returned. Put on your tin foil hats, children. Poisoning can be a very brief “illness”.
