Always a moment for celebration when a baby (a bit blurry here...tis' a fast baby) finally gets brave enough to amble up to the window after watching the adults do it for days. This kiddo now gets it. And hopefully this is the beginning of a long friendship with the human almond dispenser...

She's been a great governor. And...

I'M ALARMED! I'M ALARMED! WHAT CAN I DO???

In the meantime, continue to destroy your health by being alarmed at a higher rate than is prudent at this moment, given you have few options available to do anything about it!

OKAY!!!

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

As the leaves do their autumn turning, Janet (and the rest of the porch roof regulars) starts packing on her winter "insulation." It's always quite a sight to see how quickly they fill out, but during Maine winters the extra padding serves them well...

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

See also: Greg Abbott said outlawing abortions based on rape would be cool because he would eliminate all raping in Texas.
