I stopped to take this photo on my. way to Codfish Hollow. That 2 minute delay caused me to be caught in the storm without shelter.

This is a statement of intent.
Whatever comes next, however many are hurt, killed, and abandoned, all of it lays on the shoulders of the corrupt court and the political party that has installed him into the position to harm us all.
They are the enemies of us all and must treated as such.

I want to know which of the DOGE children can be flipped. At least one of them has evidence of the hacks in the voting systems. My gut tells me most if not all did so for the promise of DOGE positions. I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking this.

Saw whet owls, so tiny! Captured images of these two last year. Haven't been out looking yet this season. Also known as pocket-sized murder floofs. This is my contribution to #SuperbOwlSunday

Iowa State Troopers forcefully removed peaceful protestors from the Iowa State Capital Building during a Mom's for Liberty presentation. When bodies weren't moving fast enough, they started arresting innocent people. We were exercising our LEGAL RIGHT TO ASSEMBLY! THIS IS NOT OKAY! Here's a clip

I really hope Democratic lawmakers took notice of the actions of Sen. Schatz, Sen. Kim, and others today and observed how quickly they were celebrated by millions of voters.
This is not about getting the response 100% right or knowing exactly what the plan should be.
It's about making an effort.
