Gardening, yard work, fixing things, projects, maple sugaring.
Retired child advocate!
In the light of the childhood trauma caused by NH staff at the Sununu Center and group or institutional placements for these abused/neglected children. It is about time these children get appointed lawyers. I’ve worked in the current system and I feel this is required.

We are strongly encouraged not to feed deer. It can be deadly for the deer.
I’ve seen the videos of the “Deer pantry”, it’s nice to see 100s of deer up close BUT I’m a firm believer that we should not feed them. They’ve survived for eons without our help.

A 'Malignant Narcissist' is a severe personality type combining traits of NPD with antisocial features, marked by grandiosity, lack of empathy, manipulation, and aggression, often finding pleasure in others' suffering, exhibiting paranoia, and actively exploiting and harming people without remorse.

New England bounty hunters, hunting down native Americans killing them and taking their scalps for bounty. God cried as we carried out genocide against the native people of this land.🤬🤬🤬

The son of a famous evangelical preacher said. American has a lot of sins and god will eventually punish us, kind of like his father’s message.
So I thought about our sins and oh boy we sure did commit many sins. Our original sin is the genocide of the native population millions died as a result.

Yeah. That’s what innocent people do. Almost completely redact the Epstein files to “protect the victims”. You want to know how much bad stuff is in there? Look at how much they redacted illegally

It’s hard for me not to blame our prior republican gov Chris Sununu but, this was his baby and his chosen people screwed up.
A 15 million dollar mistake! And years of delays in opening a critically needed hospital.
Live free and let die state!

Christianity absolutely requires you to welcome immigrants.

No exceptions.

No “if they follow the law.”

No “if they contribute economically.”

No exceptions. Welcome them. Treat them as a citizen. Love them.

We need a new Amendment to the Constitution that allows the PEOPLE to recall a ROGUE President. Perhaps 1 million signatures from 26 states? At that point there would be a recall referendum. It would be decided if that would include an Impeachment hearing. We must make sure this can’t happen again.

Beavers are amazing. This is their farming at work! The tree provides winter food, she brings the branches to the pond and submerges them in the mud for winter storage.
Yes they eat

we should assume that almost every redaction is a cover up? After all the FBI has apparently “flagging” all the mentions of him, just saying!🤷🏻‍♂️

The threads of his famous “weave”are unraveling and it’s not pretty.

Franklin Graham’s overt partisanship reveals his true Christian belief, his god hates the people he hates and also seeks to destroy them, the so called sinners.
Like god did in the ancient text he quoted.

This is just sick, nh locks up this boy, reasons. Then the state employees torture him and he is raped about 200 times. The jury awarded him 38 million in compensation!
The state refuses to pay that and wants to be cheap and only pay 475k, WTF
