It was a nice change having our vet call ME on the weekend for once - this time looking for someone to take on an orphaned foal whose dam sadly passed and her nurse mare had rejected her. There are a lot of people behind this little filly’s story. Her breeder made the hard call to give her a chance instead of euthanizing. And the nurse mare’s amazing owners poured themselves into trying to save her, all while grieving the loss of their own foals. At a certain point, they knew they were exhausted and didn’t have the ideal setup or time to give her what she needs, and selflessly chose what was best for her, not what was easiest for them. They didn’t hand her off lightly, and they wouldnt’t hand her to just anyone - which makes their trust mean that much more. Between two bottle calves and a bottle lamb, we figured… what’s one more? Trifecta achieved. This sweet little Appendix filly is settling in well. She’s going to take a lot of time and work, but we’re grateful for the opportunity to give her a place where she can grow, thrive, and just be a horse.

BREAKING NEWS: Seventy-Two Killed Resisting Gun Confiscation In Massachusetts. A National Guard task-force detailed to confiscate a cache of recently banned assault-style weapons, was ambushed by elements of an anti-Government, para-military extremist faction. Military and law enforcement sources estimate that 72 were killed and more than 200 injured before government forces were compelled to withdraw. Speaking after the clash, Massachusetts Governor Thomas Gage declared that the extremist faction, which was made up of local citizens, has links to the radical right-wing tax protest movement. Gage blamed the extremists for recent incidents of vandalism directed against internal revenue offices. The governor, who described the group’s organizers as “treasonous criminals,” issued an executive order authorizing the summary arrest of any individual who has interfered with the government’s efforts to secure law and order. The military raid on the extremist arsenal followed wide-spread refusal by the local citizenry to turn over recently outlawed assault-style weapons. Gage issued a ban on military-style assault weapons and ammunition earlier in the week. This decision followed a meeting in early this month between government and military leaders at which the governor authorized the forcible confiscation of illegal arms. One government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, pointed out that “none of these people would have been killed had the extremists obeyed the law and turned over their weapons voluntarily.” Government troops initially succeeded in confiscating a large supply of outlawed weapons and ammunition. However, troops attempting to seize arms and ammunition in Lexington met with resistance from heavily-armed extremists who had been tipped off regarding the government’s plans. During a tense standoff in the Lexington town park, National Guard Colonel Francis Smith, commander of the government operation, ordered the armed group to surrender and return to their homes. The impasse was broken by a single shot, which was reportedly fired by one of the right-wing extremists. Eight civilians were killed in the ensuing exchange. Ironically, the local citizenry blamed the government forces rather than the extremists for the civilian deaths. Before order could be restored, armed citizens from surrounding areas had descended upon the National Guard units. Colonel Smith, finding his forces over matched by the armed mob, ordered a retreat. Governor Gage has called upon citizens to support the state/national joint task force in its effort to restore law and order. The governor also demanded the surrender of those responsible for planning and leading the attack against the government troops. Samuel Adams, Paul Revere, and John Hancock, who have been identified as “ringleaders” of the extremist faction, remain at large. And this fellow Americans, is exactly how the American Revolution began, April 19, 1775. History. Learn it, or repeat it.

Today, April 20th, marks exactly two months since we arrived in the United States as refugees fleeing South Africa. We came with nothing but determination. Today, we stand on our own two feet: SSC, EAD, and US driver’s licenses secured. My son and I both have full-time jobs, reliable transport, and we’re about to move into our own place — paying our own rent and utilities with zero burden on American taxpayers. Every single day, we get closer to full self-sufficiency. We are not here to take — we are here to build, contribute, and repay the extraordinary privilege of calling America home. To the United States government and the American people: thank you. Thank you for the opportunity to escape violence and chaos, and for giving us the chance to become proud, productive members of the greatest nation on Earth. We will not waste this gift.

@ivan_8848 Nice 👌 🕊️

🚨Rumen Radev, Bulgaria's former president who opposes sanctions on Russia and military aid for Ukraine, scored the nation's most overwhelming election victory this century on Sunday and pledged to turn the page on years of political gridlock and corruption.

@DcLidstone @RealAbs1776 Oh my 😳

FYI TOUSKA is a CONTAINER SHIP not a Tanker. We have full custody of the ship, and are seeing what’s on board! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump on Truth. Today, an Iranian-flagged cargo ship named TOUSKA, nearly 900 feet long and weighing almost as much as an aircraft carrier, tried to get past our Naval Blockade, and it did not go well for them. The U.S. Navy Guided Missile Destroyer USS SPRUANCE intercepted the TOUSKA in the Gulf of Oman, and gave them fair warning to stop. The Iranian crew refused to listen, so our Navy ship stopped them right in their tracks by blowing a hole in the engineroom. Right now, U.S. Marines have custody of the vessel. The TOUSKA is under U.S. Treasury Sanctions because of their prior history of illegal activity. We have full custody of the ship, and are seeing what’s on board! President DONALD J. TRUMP ALL CAPS/Duplicates removed = 55 Look to Twitter:

@evietressa @overton_news Ohh Sandy 🤦‍♀️

@overton_news look who is spewing lies, he was in jail, a real whack job, who stole thousands, another orange lying maga. send him back to prison.

Former Congressman George Santos just sounded the ALARM: Eric Swalwell was only the tip of the iceberg. He says what’s happening on Capitol Hill is far more disturbing — and called for a reckoning to purge Washington of weaponized blackmail once and for all. SANTOS: “There’s a lot more.” “Look...Lidia, I’m going to be very blunt with you. There’s a lot more.” “You have members of Congress accused of beating women like Max Miller in Ohio.” “You have members of Congress accused of having orgies with women escorts for hire.” “There is such a chaotic layer of corruptness and deceitful behavior taking place.” “I think this is the opportunity for victims to come forward and turn this into the MeToo version of politics, so we can purge D.C. of all the wrongdoing.” “So finally, the focus can be working for the American people and not being blackmailed by their misdeeds on Capitol Hill.”

@1111Cinders @overton_news there it is ☝️

@overton_news I doubt the victims will step forward as I’m quite sure they’ve all signed airtight NDAs. I would like to see the list of those who used my tax dollars to pay those victims.

Ohhh those summer days, when the relentless sun is set to ‘roast’ and you can almost smell the hair on your arms burning…. the air is so heavy it feels like a burden to carry…. and then the sun goes behind a cloud and you feel a rumble of distant thunder before you hear it. A soft breeze turns into a gust of wind and justthatfast you can’t see your hand in front of your face for the downpour.
