Violets, Lilacs and Magnolias greeted Chewy and I on our morning neighborhood walk.

What is really special is the America First president crashed the economy then flew Air Force One to Florida to attend a LIV golf event at his golf course.

LIV golf is owned by Saudi Arabia.

Remember the PGA (Professional Golf Association of America)?

Wonder if Tulsi Gabbard will to be there?

European economy is energized by an emerging pro-defense posture. Reports are they intend to avoid entanglement with American defense contractors.

The rest of 7.6 billion citizens of the world will be just fine with America’s isolation and retreat from the global economy.

Very strange verb to use for the president’s oppressive tariffs “Liberation Day” the act or process of freeing someone or something from another's control.

Oppression Day would be the proper definition.

Bathrooms opened early this spring at North Ridge Park good news for all who use the park and find a need.

Finally Friday 54 degrees damp after an evening shower clearing skies.

Elon is setting a record, this is the fastest destruction of a Trump enabler in history.

Don’t think his creditors will forgive like Deutsche bank.

Margin call anyone?

Please educate me if my observations are off. The massive economic collapse of Germany after WW I was the catalyst for the rise of fascism resulting in WW II.

So, republicans are engaged in a trade war with the world. What is the end game world economic collapse and WW III?

Few photos from earlier this week, chewy and I were at Waterworks Park this morning for a one mile walk 37 degrees clear skies no breeze. It was nice to see the sun.

Democrats fixing what republicans brake like Reagan Iran-Contra, HW Bush and savings & loan crisis, W Bush housing crisis, Trump and COVID.

Trump broke international trust. Ask anyone who has gone through divorce, once trust is gone it can not be fixed.

A new Roman Empire “the European Union” will dictate the future. This is the end of American Exceptionalism and the beginning of a new world order. Republicans own this and Mitch McConnell paved the way.

What a clown sen. Gram the most spineless Senator in the history of American.

Little Marco Rubio just got smaller. At this rate he will disappear before the midterms.

Should have stayed in the Senate. What a clown, he fits right in with his orange messiah.

The newly proposed budget targets the corporate welfare state in the scene that Walmart and Amazon employees will lose their Medicaid insurance.

Sad fact of the mater is the billionaire owners of those companies will leave their employees uninsured expecting you to cover them in increased premiums.

Dreary, damp and overcast this morning it was 36 degrees and calm. Our pond is still frozen.

Happy hump day, at 12:00 this afternoon you will be half way to the weekend.

On our walk in our neighborhood park this morning Chewy and I noticed the creek is flowing. It was 35 degrees clear, calm and damp. I was comfortable in a sweater.

Loving the warm weather, hope your week is off to a good start.

38 degrees overcast and calm, the snow melt was flowing across the trail at North Ridge park. There was ice under melted snow. Chewy and I walked in the grass. Be careful today the ground is colder than the air.

There is an amphitheater at Waterworks Park. It’s usually not much to look at but a little snow made it interesting this morning.

Longer walk this morning 24 degrees calm and pretty skies with the slightest hint of pink.

Hope you are enjoying the weekend.

I’m a 67 year old life long Iowa resident and have never been invited to a town hall meeting with any of our representatives. They only want the Fox fake News disciples to attend.

Nice to see the true believers rebel. Hope it carries over to the ballot box.

Probationary Federal jobs are not new jobs they are created when senior employees notify their supervisors of their retirement.

Musk cutting new hires does nothing to trim the budget. These cuts deny the next generation of public servants from replacing the natural attrition of federal jobs.

When is Elon going to get Trump to dress like the mini me he has become?
February 19, 2025 at 5:22 PM
If Biden stated Ukraine started the war, democrats would have called on the cabinet to invoke the 25th amendment to remove the president due to mental acuity.

Trump lies about Ukraine and all you hear are crickets from republicans.

Republicans fear primaries more than loosing their honor.

SAD

Short walk with Chewy, 0 degrees overcast beautiful skies. Stopped at the reservoir to see the bald eagles but they were missing. Happy hump day.

Looks like Trump has successfully reconstituted the Roman Empire. Not good for the United States.

Moved from Facebook hope to enjoy the new experience.
