I see a lot of people saying that a trump wants to start a war so that he doesn’t have to leave office! We have had multiple successful presidential elections during wartime! Bush was reelected (unfortunately) during wartime! Obama was elected and reelected during active campaigns as well!

Pardon me if I delay celebrating this vile cretin losing until those poor Sandy Hook families he victimized for cheap publicity see all of the cash. I don't trust him for a second.

A former exec at Trump's Atlantic City casino told CNN that Epstein & Trump brought three under-21 girls to the gambling floor.

Of course, Trump's White House calls it fabricated.

Pam Bondi threatens to throw the Governor of Washington into prison unless he bows down to the abuses of the Trump Regime. It is well past time that state and local law enforcement crack down on this lawless regime. Arrest ICE who break local and state laws. Demand Accountability Now. #ProudBlue

I had a great day birding yesterday. Sandhills and Great Blue Herons and Squirrels. Pics to come.

Here's one more of that wonderful brief close encounter with the Red-tailed Hawk.

Have a great new week!

A red-tailed hawk taking off from a rather low perch on a city sign. It's wings are spread and it's face and red tail are in good focus. The bird is just a few feet higher that the photographer.
