And the craziest part is this was needless. Congress would've passed a military pay bill with near unanimous support! Congressional Ds have been begging Rs to bring a bill to pay the military to the floor! But Johnson refuses to gavel in because he doesn't want an Epstein vote.

Exodus 8:2-6
"But if you refuse to let them go, I will plague your whole country with frogs...
The frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your officials."
Don't Look Now (1973) is a good candidate. Like Rebecca, it is a Daphne du Maurier story. Great film. Echoes of it show up in In Bruges (2008).
Up close maybe not as bad but bad for traffic
IDK what's going on on 250 bypass near Dairy Road but an accident has both east & westbound crawling. Looks bad.

I've outlived my dad now by 5 years. He was 60. Uncles, aunts, extended family often died in their 50s. Hypertension & kidneys are the weak links. I try not to obsess, but it does make me think. I just retired at 1st opportunity. Maybe not financially prudent, but tomorrow isn't promised.

That's twenty-seven flat-out murders. That's twenty-seven lives taken without even a semblance of a legal justification under domestic or international law.

The US federal attack on Portland has resulted in the best advertisement for a city that I have ever seen. Round-the-clock joy, community solidarity and silliness that much of the West has lost and longs for.

CBP agents knocked on an El Paso home at 7:15 a.m.

The owner asked to secure his Rottweiler, Chop, in the bathroom.

While he got his ID, agents opened the door and shot Chop.

The family tried to save him as he bled out on the kitchen floor.
