Kitten Season is here at Blue Rose of Hope Animal Sanctuary, and we need your help.

We are working to catch our feral queens and bring them in to be spayed.

We are hoping you can help with a $20 donation to the Sanctuary's fundraiser.

Thank you, and God bless you.

My blue sky post abt losing our lease here in Springer was not, some say, dire enough.

We are effed til we find a soft landing. Our 34-ft RV can get us wherever we go. Need some time to unpack the high anxiety and plan an exit.

My myopia serves me well but does nothing to support my dear wife.

Tomorrow the Supreme Court will hear arguments in the most important redistricting and voting rights case of the term. Democracy Docket isn't just covering it for the day. It has been covering this case for years.

This isn’t a peace plan. It’s a ceasefire. Why is the media calling it a peace plan?

Haji Wright scored both goals for the USMNT in their victory vs. Australia.

Cristian Roldan, a midfielder rising rapidly up the USMNT depth chart, assisted both goals from midfield.

Here’s my take: it takes a bigger bully to bully a bully into compliance. That’s how DJT was able to make Netanyahu heel. Yes I’m grateful for however he got this war to end & the hostages home! At the same time he’s destroying every good thing in the US. He’s unleashed thugs who disappear people.
