Antifa Thugs in Portland and Newark, Laying Siege to ICE detention facilities are PAID. Here’s who pays them.

And supplies them with military-level supplies, equipment and provisions. Here’s what one Signal message uncovered. I messaged a group admin asking how my family in NJ could help the Delaney Hall protesters. Within minutes she sent me a supply list and a Venmo donation link. The supply list wasn’t water bottles. It was P100 respirators …

Caturday Cat Tales (and tails, or lack thereof).

Today’s tales begin with a new (to me) account which I am following. Steve Mullaney is an author who recently heard noises in his attic. When he checked, he found a litter of kittens whose mom had disappeared. It took a while, but he eventually caught all the kittens and brought them down from the …

Beauty and Frustration in the Yard

This afternoon, I did some work in my yard, cleaning out and refilling the birdbath and refilling the seed feeder for all our little birds that come by. But before I went out, I just happened to be looking out the glass door, and saw a very fun sight. Yes, it's our entire Red-breasted Nuthatch …

When they Show and Tell you who they are, BELIEVE THEM.

So, we have: Iran refuses to back down from its "Red line" on nuclear talks. An Iranian official asserted Wednesday that Tehran will not back down …

On my way home from signing a petition to repeal the unconstitutional income tax, I dropped by a park near the Sammamish River Trail in Woodinvlle. The trail is paved, and divided like a normal road would be. It was a gorgeous day today, and there were cyclists and walkers on the trail, and moms …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #398: Choose a Color

Well, this challenge has a condition, only six images allowed. I choose green, which has never really been my favorite color. I gave it some thought, and it's not the color green that I don't like, it's just particular shades. I don't like Kelly green, or chartreuse. But I do live mint-green, and my favorite …
