Not a real penguin, penguin shown not actual size. Retired aerospace engineer/scientist. Animal lover, especially dogs. Raised in Iowa, living in western WA. The empire has been choking us so slowly, we've started not to notice.

A Ukrainian Mi-8 helicopter shoots down a Russian Shahed drone with fire from a machine gun.
Glory!

Ukraine needs more helicopters, they are very effective in shooting down Russian drones.

Stop allowing health insurers and big pharma to shake the public down and bribing congress and bail outs will no longer be needed.

Same thing that happened to his promise of 1500%. Someone must have told him it's impossible, so he's lowering expectations, but still lying to save face.

Reporter to Karoline Leavitt:
"Is it true that President Trump will reduce drug prices by 1500%?"
Leavitt:
"Of course not, that's mathematically impossible and absurd."
Reporter:
"Is it true that he will reduce drug prices by 500%?"
Leavitt:
"No comment."

Trump: "We're gonna be reducing the cost of medicines by 100%, 200%, 300%, 500% and even more than that."

Who's protecting us from ICE agents shooting unarmed priests in the head while non-violently exercising their right to demonstrate?

So the argument for sending US troops into cities to be used against Americans is that Antifa has apparently taken over our cities and the troops have to battle them.

They've had "concepts for plans" since before the ACA was implemented. Always two weeks away.

C-SPAN CALLER: We just I guess resolved Israel and Gaza. What about the war that is being caused here in America when our president tells the military to shoot Americans, use the cities as war zones?

MIKE JOHNSON: I have no idea where that's coming from. It's obviously a misleading talking point.

Nothing like suddenly getting a snoot in your face early in the morning.

Grand Corgi Billy usually makes a brief stop on the bed before settling in the hallway or bathroom for the night (cooler there). His latest favorite sleeping spot has been in front of the entry door downstairs, but as soon as I get up, he runs upstairs and jumps in bed with gramma.

My own experience is that there's always room, but they want your spot.

Mom keeps complaining that there is “no room for me in the bed.”
Clearly she is a liar who lies.

Corgis have taken up all the room in the bed
