“That’s fine, dude. I’m not mad at you.”

Does this look like a “domestic terrorist”?

@KristiNoem needs to resign.
@JDVance owes her son an apology.

Shame on everyone.

“Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhere—if governments have the courage to change the rules.”

Bleeds and ends in growth to branch

New in PN: The regime wants to turn artists into performing monkeys

"Freedom of speech and freedom of expression is the right to criticize the ruler. But it’s also the right to not play jazz vibraphone if you don’t want to — not even if the ruler says you must for his greater glory."
The regime wants to turn artists into performing monkeys
But freedom of speech includes freedom to not praise the king.

Here's a shot I got in May of a Cliff Swallow colony on the central coast. There were so many nests I lost count and I can't wait to get back there in 2026!

If Network NEWSCASTS, and their Late Night Shows, are almost 100% Accurate about a Pathological Liar and Convicted Felon who Incited an Insurrection, tried to Steal a Fair Election and is Covering up Sex Crimes against Children, shouldn't his Disgraceful Presidency be terminated? I say, YES!
