Decided to touch grass today with this big silly fella...
I've had Joe for five years. Found him at the local shelter and he's been my friend ever since.
If you've never hugged a Pyrenees, I recommend it.
A white dog is laying in the grass and autumn leaves with trees and blue sky in the background. A white dog is smiling with trees and blue sky in the background. A white dog with brown eyes is looking at the camera while laying on green grass and autumn leaves. Snuggles from Joey. White dog is cuddling.

Calling it “The most serious corruption of American foreign policy ever,” Murphy said the peace plan “has nothing to do with peace. It is a business deal to make the people around Donald Trump rich. It’s just corruption, through and through.”

Crucial revelation: Trump officials appear to be trying to avoid letting survivors of boat bombings get into US courts, where they'd have to present evidence against them. Can't have that when you're carrying out summary executions.

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.
There has never been a President that has worked as hard as me! My hours are the longest, and my results are among the best. I’ve stopped Eight Wars, saving many millions of lives in the process, created the Greatest Economy in the History of our Country, brought Business back into the United States at levels never seen before, rebuilt our Military, created the Largest Tax Cuts and Regulation Cuts, EVER, closed our open and very dangerous Southern Border, when previous Administrations were unable to do so, and created an “aura” around the United States of America that has led every Country in the World to respect us more than ever before. In addition to all of that, I go out of my way to do long, thorough, and very boring Medical Examinations at the Great Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, seen and supervised by top doctors, all of whom have given me PERFECT Marks — Some have even said they have never seen such Strong Results. I do these Tests because I owe it to our Country. In addition to the Medical, I have done something that no other President has done, on three separate occasions, the last one being recently, by taking what is known as a Cognitive Examination, something which few people would be able to do very well, including those working at The New York Times, and I ACED all three of them in front of large numbers of doctors and experts, most of whom I do not know. I have been told that few people have been able to “ace” this Examination and, in fact, most do very poorly, which is why many other Presidents have decided not to take it at all. Despite all of this, the time and work involved, The New York Times, and some others, like to pretend that I am “slowing up,” am maybe not as sharp as I once was, or am in poor physical health, knowing that it is not true, and knowing that I work very hard, probably harder than I have ever worked before. I will know when I am “slowing up,” but it’s not now! After all of the work I have done with Medical Exams, Cognitive Exams, and everything else, I actually believe it’s seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times, and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean “THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.” They are true Enemies of the People, and we should do something about it. They have inaccurately reported on all of my Election Results and, in fact, were forced to apologize on much of what they wrote. The best thing that could happen to this Country would be if The New York Times would cease publication because they are a horrible, biased, and untruthful “source” of information. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

EU officials are weighing the 'Nuclear Option' of dumping U.S. Treasuries if Trump cuts a Ukraine deal and betrays the Allies. This would trigger an economic collapse in the US, millions would lose everything overnight and Saudi Arabia, UAE, and China would buyout the country.

Dozens of vulture carcasses—at least some and probably all infected with HPAI—were reportedly left strewn about the grounds of an elementary school for days while bureaucrats wrangled over who would clean up the site, illustrating what appears to be a huge crisis of state and local capacity in Ohio.
Pierce Township officials said the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) initially refused to clean up or test the dead birds and only agreed to help hours after being contacted by the WCPO 9 1- Team. "They were very adamant that they were not coming. There was a recommendation that you just take them, put them in a bag, double-bag them and throw them in the garbage," said Pierce Township Trustee Allen Freeman. "It was very clear that there was no help coming.... Thanks to Channel 9, you guys reached out to ONR, and amazingly, they started to change their tune." "(ODNR wasn't) overly concerned with the situation. They really had no intention to come out and do anything for the problem," Wright said. "It did upset me. I was a little surprised. It's a wildlife issue. There's no better agency than them to deal with a wildlife issue." Over the next few days, Wright said he contacted local public health and emergency management agencies for help to come up with a contingency plan, while the dead birds remained at the school.

4. Why would a U.S. private equity firm (Affinity Partners) owned by a U.S. citizen (Jared Kushner) need to waive governance rights to avoid review by the Committee on FOREIGN INVESTMENT in the U.S.?

Because Paramount knows that Kushner's company is simply a vehicle for foreign influence.

3. Paramount says they've avoided any regulatory hurdles because Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi have voluntarily agreed to waive their governance rights. And one other party has agreed to waive governance rights: JARED KUSHNER.
