Nice pic.

To all of the Democrats here, I know this will make you feel so much better, so confident in your parties future.
The DNC Leader interrupted the party election to tell members that not enough non-binary candidates have been elected, so they MUST now vote for one. "With the results of the previous four elections, our elected officers are currently two male and two female. In order to be gender balanced, we must elect one male, one female, and one person of any gender."

Grenell Scores Big Win For Trump As Venezuela Releases Hostages, Agrees To Takes Back Migrants

"The government of Venezuela has agreed not only to release six detained Americans, who arrived home Friday evening with Trump envoy Richard Grenell, the Maduro government has will take back tens of thousands of migrants, President Trump said on Saturday."

Gee, I wonder what he said to him?

Crescent moon and Venus are bright in the west. I hope it's clear where you are.

It's been great watching Venus all week.

Venus is so bright it kills your dark-adaptation.

Rick Grenell is my favorite Trump appointment. So extremely capable no matter what job he tackles. He was my choice for VP but I think he’s doing more good in the position he’s in. Congrats to Grenell and Trump and welcome back to the former hostages.

Original Mike said...

I was surprised he didn't get an Intelligence or Justice post. I saw him as CIA or FBI Director.

Governor Shapiro has a tough response to PETA's plan to replace Punxsutawney Phil with cake

"The animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has once again set their sights on liberating Punxsutawney Phil from his Groundhog Day duties. But Pennsylvania’s governor seems to disagree.

...

Instead, they suggest that the team at Gobbler’s Knob could go with a different kind of prediction reveal: cutting into a cake.

“In a fun play on viral gender reveal videos, PETA’s tasty treat would be cut to expose one of two colors: blue, signifying six more weeks of winter, or pink, indicating an early spring,” the release reads.

...

In a post on X, Shapiro replied to a New York Post headline about PETA’s suggestion with a simple phrase.

“Come and take it,” Shapiro wrote in the post."

I didn't have our governor invoking μολὼν λαβέ on my Bingo card.

PETA doesn't get the science behind the groundhog.

"In a fun play on viral gender reveal videos, PETA’s tasty treat would be cut to expose one of two colors..."

There are only two genders? That's not the word on prog street.

Eva Marie said...

And it’s Ric Grenell not Rick

Something for dedicated abortion leftists to ponder.

Yippee! While I'd prefer an honest and same Democrat party - this works, too.

same = sane

They're at the point where they're cutting the throat of the DNC. Why would anyone take them seriously... outside their own little clique?

“The information about transgender health being stripped from government websites is absolutely unbelievable,” said Dr. Richard Besser, who served as acting director of the C.D.C. in 2009.

“It’s hard to know where to start to talk about just how offensive this is, this attempt by the government to erase people from society,” he said.

Stop it, "Jerry". Nobody is cutting any throats. Don't create a tranny panic, meaning you panic about OThers. Not cause them to panic. We're not.

He's gay. Let's not pretend that is career limiting in today's climate.

Don't beg... give til it hurts. She needs our help financially or she would not keep asking...

Two can't live as cheaply as one, and I think the husband is more high-maintenance that she originally may have calculated... His toys are costly.

How shameful to promote support via vountary purchases through a common portal. More productive in the end than clenched sphincter postings.

They're taxes - plain and simple - paid by American consumers and businesses. Trump treats tariffs like a toddler treats a new word, repeating it endlessly without grasping its meaning. But these aren't magical tools that force other countries to pay him money. Now that Trump has said he will demand a 25% tariff on Mexican and Canadian goods, he's sending a 25% tax hike to American families already battling inflation. Full stop - except higher retail will also cost us more farmer giveaways when demand dies on corn, wheat, and soybeans.

Trump's drug-sniffing immigrant buddy Elmo will get chewed on when he has to deal with a 100% tariff on Teslas in Canada. And when Alberta heavy sand crude doesn't sell in the US, refineries in Montana (2), Illinois (2}, and a huge cracking plant in Whiting, IN will shut. At least we won't have to deal with pumping the dirtiest oil on the planet through the Great Plains when the KXL pipeline
is canceled again. But I hear that our Russian friends have sulfur oil to spare.

My understanding -- correct me if I'm wrong -- is that Venus and Saturn are, right now, so close together that they can't be easily distinguished. However, Saturn is moving faster than Venus -- actually, the opposite, Saturn moves around the Sun slower than Venus, but we move almost as fast as Venus, so it appears that Saturn is moving faster -- anyway, they appear as a single light in the sky, at least to my deficient vision. But they are separating, with Saturn moving to the West. It will soon be evident that they are two distinct planets.

Jupiter said...

Kiddo, believe me, she does it for love. Do you really think that Ann Althouse does this for some reason other than love?

Drago said...

LOL

Stop pretending you understand anything at all about what you have cut and pasted from someone else, without attribution.

And then they picked David Hogg as the Vice chair....the kid who got into Harvard BECAUSE he was in the right political party, launched by not being at school on the day of a school shooting. (Funny how they picked ANOTHER whitey!!)

BREAKING: Democrats just elected David Hogg to be the Vice Chair of the DNC.

Hogg is touted as their face of masculinity to help them regain the young male voters they lost in the 2024 election.

I HONESTLY CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

IF she didn't need the money, why ask for "tips" and continually badgering people to pay, even after the Christmas shopping season, as she did in the past?

Don't you understand with "open subscription" publications like substack moving in how "Donors" shape the narrative by dropping BigDillars into "tip jars"? Don't be so naive. Even if she doesn't think it affects her writing/analysis, it does.

She endorsed Ben Wikler for the DNC not because a logical mind would lead here there (she hasn't voted Dem in elections, at lease not in presidential elections in HOW long? she has written this blog how many years before dropping those "whadda childhood boy!" stories about him even if she has referenced his name personally before) but likely because tips got dropped and she was properly "encouraged"...

Either you see it or you don't. It's called "pay to play" in other places.

If she didn't need the cash (and cmon-- keeping meade is going to be expensive...; a lot of his "back to the simple life!" toys cost, and he has a lot of free time to fill as a retiree... which is how he came into her life, no?), she wouldn't keep asking. That's not something an East Coast educated woman does if they have enough.
