A powerful speech on the Nobel Peace Prize but I suspect it will send Trump into a frenzy today. Especially the pointed remarks about democracy and integrity.

The longer Congress is stuck in a shutdown, the greater the chances the government won’t have the data to provide updates on where the economy stands.

I guess my point is that it really doesn’t matter who leads NOAA, or any other agency for that matter. The task is not to lead us, it’s to dismantle the agency, privatize what can be monetized. Only difference might be the level of insanity. When I’m RIF’d, who sits in that seat makes no difference.

Call me old school, but I don't think a person illegally blowing up boats and unleashing masked goons on his citizens would be a serious candidate for a peace prize.

It’s SHAMEFUL to watch US Senators vote NO on the War Powers resolution & give this administration a blank check to bomb whoever the hell they want. The current conduct in the Caribbean is unconstitutional and unacceptable!

Time and time again, these cowards bend the knee.

Most octopuses live on the sea floor, but the Football Octopus (Ocythoe tuberculata) is one of the few octopus species that lives in the open ocean.

The females of this species have a gas filled swim bladder, which is common for fish but unique among octopuses.

The mantle is an ellipsoid shape and is covered in a bunch of bumps, which are larger towards the bottom. The octopus is a reddish/pink colour on the top, and white on the bottom. The water is greenish.

Mark Bray, a professor teaching at Rutgers University, was stopped from flying out of the US mere hours after the sham antifa roundtable at the white house.

Turning Point USA activists have labeled him a financier for antifa. Bray and his family received death threats as well.

Per Vought: “When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work, because they are increasingly viewed as the villains. We want their funding to be shut down … We want to put them in trauma.”
