Trump just declared that "For the theft of our Assets, and many other reasons, including Terrorism, Drug Smuggling, and Human Trafficking, the Venezuelan Regime has been designated a FOREIGN TERRORIST ORGANIZATION..."

My first memory of Rob Reiner was seeing him play Archie Bunker’s son-in-law, “Meathead.” He had me at “Thank God I’m an atheist,” and I have been a fan ever since. His movies were always wonderful, easy to watch again and again. He was outspoken about politics in the best way. He will be missed.

This truly impressive display was captured right here over Barton Broad last week.
It's rare the aurora borealis is so visible in our part of the world, but when it does show it's a real treat!
Well done to Jon Kelf on capturing the moment for us all to enjoy.

On that last post: I genuinely cannot think of any good-faith reason to bar international adoptions from those 39 countries. Under this new ban, consulates will refuse adoption visas for any baby from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nigeria, or any of the 39 other countries.
