@PorterLandrum No reason

@TrueFactsStated Just curious - Is there a reason for the different colored bowls? Different feed? Also, I'll bet they LOVE their bowls being so festive!! 😁🦌🥳

Hope and company from the back deck.

Ok. I refuse to believe Netanyahu is still alive until I see autopsy photos.

(8) No, Netanyahu is Not Dead, and Social Media is Stupid charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/no-netanyahu…

Good news: The John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award going to the people of the Twin Cities is a recognition of how our state persevered and led the way in defending freedom and democracy.

10% of ALL Meta revenue comes from ads for scams & banned goods. $16 BILLION a year. Zuckerberg has known about this for a long time. But he has *deliberately* decided to do nothing about it. Why is Mark Zuckerberg not in prison?

Alive or AI?

Apparently not dead…

The creepy billionaires are desperate to steal our elections.

Drone warfare is evolving at terrifying speeds. Ukraine is now using autonomous AI-guided FPV racing drones to hunt and ram Shahed drones mid-air. They even launch them from unmanned boats in the sea. The future of war is here and it's completely autonomous.

Iran’s throttling of traffic in the strait already has driven oil above $100 a barrel But for the wealthy countries on the opposite bank of the strait from Iran, the bigger threat is a shortage of food and the soaring costs that could trigger theatlantic.com/national-secur…

John Fetterman makes Kyrsten Sinema look like an amateur.

My colleague & friend Jared Moskowitz was the target of an assassination plot by an armed & dangerous fanatical antisemite who was just sentenced to 25 years in prison. The convergence of antisemitic & racist hate with gun violence is a continuing threat to American democracy. rollcall.com/2026/03/19/bec…

From today’s New York Times: Across both of his terms, Mr. Trump has granted clemency to more than 70 allies, donors and others convicted in fraud cases. In his second term, Mr. Trump’s pace of pardoning those convicted of fraud has increased. In the first year of his second term, he handed out nearly three dozen pardons and commutations for people accused of fraud. Mr. Trump is unabashed about using the government to reward friends and supporters and punish foes. Still, his handling of fraud cases stands out. Not only are there striking similarities between some of the crimes that were prosecuted and those that were pardoned, but the president also has excused some of those who have stolen the most. . . . . . Last March, Mr. Trump pardoned Trevor Milton, the founder of electric vehicle start-up Nikola, who had been sentenced to four years in prison on allegations he had defrauded his investors. Before Mr. Trump granted the pardon, his campaign received donations from Mr. Milton and his wife totaling more than $1.8 million. . . . . . Mr. Herrera and the others pleaded guilty to a lesser charge, but Mr. Trump pardoned them before sentencing. The clemency grants came after Mr. Herrera’s daughter, Isabela Herrera, donated $2.5 million in 2024 — and then another $1 million in 2025 — to MAGA Inc., a super PAC devoted to Mr. Trump and run by his allies. . . . . . Mr. Weinstein has not been as fortunate as Adriana Camberos. In 2021, Mr. Trump commuted the sentence she was serving for a fraud scheme involving fake energy drinks. A lawyer who had worked in the Trump White House assisted her with her case. Three years later, Ms. Camberos was convicted with her brother of defrauding food wholesalers. In January, Mr. Trump pardoned them both, with no explanation. _________________ Imagine that — a rich felon convicted of fraud excusing rich felons convicted of fraud … if the price is right. They say actions speak louder than words, and Trump’s actions on behalf of large-scale fraudsters speak as clearly as his actions on large-scale drug traffickers (see Trump pardoned drug traffickers including former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández and Silk Road online drug market founder Ross Ulbricht). Particularly galling is pardoning a fraudster who then goes out and frauds again and then scores a second fraud pardon. How do you square fraud x2/pardon x2 with the claim that you’re serious about cracking down on fraud? The old saying was “justice is blind.” The current saying is “you get as much justice as you can afford to buy.” If we’re serious about rooting out fraud, I know exactly where we should start.

Last year, Donald Trump Jr. invested in a rare earths startup at a $200 million valuation. Then three months later, the US government announced a huge loan backstop for the company and now it's worth around $2 billion. bloomberg.com/news/features/…

There’s still a chance greater than zero that Trump will nuke Greenland-for Iran I’m going to say it’s over 10%.

"As Trump readies a US armada for a war whose aims he cannot articulate, an honest reckoning of geopolitical risks would place his wayward psychology high up." Wrote this a few days before Iran war. Had no idea how quickly it would become THE issue. ft.com/content/8802f7…

Secretary Hegseth banned photographers from the Pentagon because he didn’t want any more unflattering photos of himself posted on social media. He didn’t ban screen-shotters.
