A while back I posted our, yet to be adopted by, kittens, here they are now at 12 weeks old! Harry (King Harald) and Odin. In the image with both Harry is facing camera. And Odin is facing camera in the image with Leo our 3y/o. All are Norwegian Forest Cats #cats

On a brown tile floor is Harry a 1kg 12 week old kitten, he is looking at the camera and has a white front that forms a triangle at the top of his head with black on his right that makes an eye patch. His ears with the inside fur is typical of Weegies (Norwegian Forest Cats)

Here we have harry looking at us with Odin in a wooden mixing bowl looking left. This is their just woke up look! Harry is white and black and Odin is predominantly white with some light brown and black patches

Her Odin in below Leo, he faces the camera with one white paw over the rim of the cat tower bowl he is in. Leo is a 8.7kg 3y/o tabby patterned who the kittens seem to adore, he is very tolerant of their non stop play.

Here is Odin looking at the camera, his face is white with a touch of brown on top of his head. He is next to my 1L Yeti and is about the same size.

The difference being, the ruZZian media resisted being controlled. Ask the survivors, ask Marina Ovsyannikova, living in exile. US legacy media volunteered for, or surrendered to, the orange old man who berated them to their face. Thank you sir, may I have another. 95% Collaborators and cowards

"In the first quarter of 2025, farm bankruptcies increased by 95%" So sad, I cannot imagine how traumatising it must be to lose a multi-generation family farm. I apologise if this seems like piling on, but most "farm states" vote for the folks whose policies make it happen and hurt worse

In the first quarter of 2025, farm bankruptcies increased by 95%

Remember: the policies leading to bankruptcy are purposeful. Our food supply is in danger…there is no better way to bring a country to its knees than having control of its food supply.

It amazes me how many folks there are for whom it does not resonate. What wonder they are missing!

$500k would barely have made the office goal post at Merrill back in the'90's, it wasn't even a holiday bonus for hot shots. CEO of NPR seems a bargain considering the product on offer. Hardly someone to direct ire at when the painted buffoon who wants him out has a $1B cryptoscam last Q.

Mr Elias is one of the heroes of this miserable epoch and has my gratitude. I wish the dem leadership had his moxie.

My law firm is currently litigating 55 voting and election cases in 25 states. I expect that we will add another 5-6 this week. Please pay attention to what is happening to see and fair elections and democracy in court!

And the idiocracy follows it and the poorly educated melanistically comorphic are convinced they will someday benefit from it while they complain about egg prices and marvel at the 24kt trappings in dear leaders workspace. It's hard to believe this species invented fire sometimes.

Schumer and all the rest of the Vichy democrats will go down in history, if a free state survives for history to be written, in much the same way as Laval, Pétain, and all those whose cowardice and avorice cost them their nation.

Reading that, it's hard to tell if he is truly and completely deluded, thinking anything that is unfavourable to him is crime, or he is just an villainous maniac out to crush his perceived enemies. The scary thing is after 10yrs in politics, and many more in NY before that, it's impossible to tell!

These folks are so addled by their bigotry that everything they see is confirmation no matter how logically absurd.

Is it possible Kirk was a sacrificed in the ever escalating level of distractions the 🦧 and his collaborators, accomplices, and cultists throw out there as his desperation grows and his mental capacity diminishes? I do not believe there is a limit for him nor anyone he wouldn't crush to save himself

Ask someone else to martyr themselves?!!. Sorry, I cannot do that. You're far from acknowledging a path, all you're saying is violence is required, that's awful vague and is it really? Gandhi used non violence to free a lot of his fellows from something as close to fascism as what we have now, no?

Maybe, but I'm too old and frankly disinclined to be a soldier. I'll do what I can, in a manner that seems most sensible to me, to help remove this cancer that has stricken America. Those women in the DC restaurant set a good example, violence would not have been more efficacious.

There is no doubt we must stand up to the oppressors, but violence more often brings bad outcomes than good ones and should be the absolute last resort. As an adherent of the philosophy of Ueshiba, I would rather break the circle of violence than add to it.

All legitimate questions, I have no answers, Dem leadership waves the flag of moral high ground and sends strongly worded letters but doesn't force a gov't shut down, or add to the SCOTUS when they had the chance. They have truly capitulated disgracefully. We let those you cite down, that must stop
