This is Admiral #Holsey. He butted heads with Hegseth so much, it is reported, that finally Pete asked him to leave, and so he did. He looks like he means business. He probably was not willing to put up with penny ante bullshit. My hat's off to him. May he find greener pastures. #honor #integrity

Love this girl, and it's amazing that she was a stray when I found her. Not a rescue, a STRAY. I'm not a big believer kind of guy, but I feel very fortunate--perhaps bordering on blessed--that she walked into my life one day. BTW a CA desert tortoise did the same thing when I was about 10!

Such a monstrous waste of resources. Plus it's ridiculous--Trump being the righteous leader working hard against illicit activity?? Please!

He is making this country the joke--and the monster--of the whole world. I sometimes can't believe it is like this. I get all King Theoden when he said "How did it come to this?"

This is the beagle/chihuaua mix we've had for about 9 years. Really cute guy, lots of charisma. Pretty schizy on walks in regard to fear, but I guess some things will never change...

From #davidpakman today:
It's truly outrageous and I am wondering where these spineless money-grubbing capitalists are--they should be howling that Trump is fucking the economy up!!

This is having its 20 year anniversary. Watching it for the 2nd time. It is very good, at least for history buffs who like drama. It's engaging and instructive--for those who can handle the fact that the Romans speak in English accents :)

I am reading McCullough's *John Adams*. I was amazed that around the time of the Constitutional Convention, the Adamses returned from a long period abroad and instantly noted how Americans seemed more superficial, more drawn to money; less patriotic and less serious. Plus slaves and shit. Woe is us.

Happy Sunday. Well, not exactly. But there is hope that the forces of evil are currently on their heels. And there are other things to think about, do, and care about besides authoritarianism, Orwellianism, and graft.

This little guy has been with us 10 years. He's a joy--except when he is prowling around the kitchen for handouts, or on a walk--he wayyy overreacts to dogs and people. He's basically a self-assured drama queen on walks. And yes, he's male. But overall a great companion.
