Remember in May when Trump gave asylum to 17 family members of the Sinaloa cartel after making a deal with El Chapo’s son? And did you know in 2013, El Chapo bribed Juan Hernandez- who trump just pardoned - in exchange for protection in Honduras? I’m sure it’s all just a coincidence.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

A very Eye of Sauron lichen scene. Porpidia (grey) and Lecidia (orange), possibly. #lichen #fungi #fungifriends #hiking

Photo of some crustose lichens. Combined, the lichens look like the Eye of Sauron from Lord of the Rings.

I / have grown tired of so much that used to entrance me

Mark Strand

Nocturne of the Poet Who Loved the Moon

I have grown tired of the moon, tired of its look of astonishment, the blue ice of its gaze, its arrivals and departures, of the way it gathers lovers and loners under its invisible wings, failing to distinguish between them. I have grown tired of so much that used to entrance me, tired of watching cloud shadows pass over sunlit grass, of seeing swans glide back and forth across the lake, of peering into the dark, hoping to find an image of a self as yet unborn. Let plainness enter the eye, plainness like a table on which nothing is set, like a table that is not yet even a table.

How to Survive Thanksgiving Without a Political Fistfight (and Maybe Even Build a Bridge)

Democracy begins at the table. Not the one in D.C., but the one in your kitchen. The one with the gravy boat and the quiet resentment.

Was Karoline involved? Did she have her brother’s baby momma arrested for some reason? Perhaps to get her out of the picture?
Hey, God’s just asking questions here.
