PNW weather but Port Angeles showed up. Cops had to show up because agitators in Trump hats were walking through crowds yelling "Democrats killed Charlie Kirk" and someone engaged them and got pepper sprayed by them. Cops were totally professional in their response.

Do you remember ONE YEAR AGO this week, when The Economist magazine declared our economy "the envy of the world"?

Now, we rip farmers out of the world market with tariffs, and at the same time give other countries billions of taxpayer dollars, who were our direct competitors ... ?

This seems to bother them more than any other actions. This is the way to get at them.

ME: Now Mom, just remember, there's a lot of disinformation and AI in your social feed and your friends' Facebook.
MOM: I know! My friend sent me this crazy post where someone used AI to make an image of a giant frog fighting Army troops!
ME: ... okay, no, that one's ... goddamit, Portland.

Federal agents charged and knocked down two 84-year-olds (84!) as they peacefully protested on Saturday in front of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in South Portland, just blocks from their home. Psychopaths.

It appeared that the dogs were harassing the kangaroo (wildlife and off leash) also the kangaroo can so alot of damage with their kicks too the dogs. I am stateside (Olympic Peninsula)and have a GSD that I will not allow to molest wildlife ( but weirdly the squirrels aren't afraid of him).

Amid the coverage of the racist, despicable individual being shot, it has been reported that the 16-year-old who opened fire on two students at Evergreen High School was a member of an online white supremacist group. I haven't seen any comments from the right

‘Radicalized’ Evergreen High School shooter appeared to hold antisemitic, violent views in online accounts

Social media accounts that appear to be connected to the 16-year-old shooter are littered with references to mass shootings and antisemitic views, The Denver Post found.

No. Forks is about 70 miles SW of us and gets about 8x the rain we get since they are on the western slope of the Olympics. We are close to being on the most northern coast on the peninsula. Some of the most gorgeous scenery in the world.
