Get ready for it. This is the GOLD coin that POTUS is pushing to honor himself in commemoration of our Semiquincentennial celebration. This is in addition to the one dollar coin that he also wants, which shows his churlish face in profile. Vomit bags, anyone?

What’s next? Will the Gettysburg address be renamed the Trump Address? Will the Washington Monument be renamed the Trump Washington Monument? This fool’s ego knows no bounds.

Has Trump lost what little mind he has left? Suggesting that Democratic members of Congress should be executed for asking the military to uphold the Constitution seems insane to me.

This beauty popped up in my Apple feed today. I photographed this member of the Lamprotornis family (a type of starling) while on safari in the Sabi Sabi Game Preserve in South Africa. The orange eye pops in contrast to the beautiful blues.

Senator Tim Kaine betrayed us today (and stabbed me in the heart) with his vote to capitulate to the MAGAs with no provision to block skyrocketing ACA premiums. I have supported him for decades. That changes today.

The GOP is actually debating whether or not to embrace the man who said, “Jews are running society, women need to shut the fuck up, Blacks need to be imprisoned for the most part, and we would live in paradise. It’s that simple.” Nick Fuentes, March 2025 WTF?

“We are not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover,” he declared. “We are in the middle of an authoritarian takeover.” Sen Chris Murphy, October 18, 2025. He calls it like it is!

This photo popped up in my feed this morning. I shot this Black Chinned Hummingbird several years ago at my home in Rancho Mirage, CA. She was nesting just outside of my bedroom window.

I took this about five years ago. At the time I just thought it sent the msg that we should try to stand out from the crowd. Now I think it looks like Mother Nature flipping off tRump!

From Indivisible: “Today is a day for courage, for joy, and for patriotism. We gather as a reminder to the Trump regime, to all those in power, and to ourselves: the will of the people can and will prevail. We are Americans. We are free. And we do not do kings here.” I hope to see you today!!

Thank God someone is willing to hold the Speaker accountable for his dereliction of duty. This situation is not receiving nearly enough coverage.

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

The USS Arizona Memorial still gives me chills and tears. Don’t let these men have died in vain. American values are worth fighting to preserve. (Picture taken Oct 1, 2025)

The U.S. added 22,000 jobs in August, according to to BLS, well below predictions that reached up to 75,000. It’s the fourth-straight disappointing monthly report. The national unemployment rate ticked up to 4.3 percent from 4.2 percent, marking the highest rate in four years. Watch for BLS firings!
