Good morning! This is my first post of Bluesky. I am officially getting off twitter. I hate what Musk has done to that platform.

Love your water colours.

One of many past watercolour compositions featuring flowers and plants from my garden. There will be new paintings when things start growing. I don't know what happened to the Chinese Lanterns (Physalis). They don't seem to come up now (must try again).

Let’s wait and see how effective these strikes by the US Department of War were. We all recall Trump’s hyperbolic statements about the now dubious strikes against IRAN not too long ago.

Trump on Christmas: “Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS Terrorist Scum in Northwest Nigeria.”

Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS Terrorist Scum in Northwest Nigeria, who have been targeting and viciously killing, primarily, innocent Christians, at levels not seen for many years, and even Centuries! I have previously warned these Terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was. The Department of War executed numerous perfect strikes, as only the United States is capable of doing. Under my leadership, our Country will not allow Radical Islamic Terrorism to prosper. May God Bless our Military, and MERRY CHRISTMAS to all, including the dead Terrorists, of which there will be many more if their slaughter of Christians continues.

DONALD J. TRUMP
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Happy Belated Birthday to Anthony Fauci!

Without truth, Democracy falls apart.

For Christmas I want
1. #NIH & CDC to use evidence based science
2. RFK Jr Impeached
3. MAHA dismantled
4.To not politicize science

🧪 We can't give up & get discouraged. Do not accept the normalization of untruths.

FINALLY. The seedlings of Trump's nihilistic conservatism have blossomed.

15 or more Heritage Foundation Employees exit HF over its hypocritical embrace of Trumpian policies that go against conservatism.

They opt for Mike Pence's Advancing American Freedom Foundation.

www.wsj.com/opinion/heri...

Some 15 or more Heritage employees, including the leaders of three prominent policy departments, are jumping to the Advancing American Freedom foundation that the former Vice President established in 2021. The defectors include the leaders of Heritage’s most important policy shops: The Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies, the Center for Data Analysis, and the Roe Institute for Economic Policy Studies.

The move by John Malcolm and his colleagues at the Meese Center is especially notable. We’re told it is endorsed by Mr. Meese, the Reagan-era Attorney General who is now 94 years old and has been a fixture at Heritage. The Roe Institute is the think tank’s free-market shop—or it was before Heritage embraced Trumpian industrial policy. One data project stifled at Heritage is to map the district-by-district impact of the Trump tariffs.

“They called us first,” says Mr. Pence about the defectors. “They see us as being a consistent, reliable home for Reagan conservatism.” Or maybe simply conservatism, which Heritage was founded to promote and did for decades. But that changed with the arrival of Kevin Roberts as president, who tried to play the game of populist politics rather than promote the think tank’s traditional principles.

Heritage once supported free trade; now it is protectionist. It once supported a robust American foreign policy; Heritage purged its defense hawks two years ago. Heritage was a supporter of the originalist judicial revolution and the rule of law; now it defends Mr. Trump’s expansion of executive power whether or not it has a constitutional basis.

As hurricane-force winds showered fire embers down on Altadena in January, it seemed almost impossible that much would survive. But while some of the towering deodar cedars lining Santa Rosa Avenue were singed by fire and damaged by wind, they survived. www.nytimes.com/card/2025/12...

The sheer incompetence of the Trump administration would be SNL type funny if it wasn’t such a serious issue. The damage being done to the DOJ and the FBI will stain these bodies for a very long time and may even be irreversible.

"It's A Wonderful Life" isn't just a feel-good holiday classic (and my favorite movie of all time).

It's also a warning about what happens when greed runs the economy.

Trump is calling kids for Christmas and using the moment to rehearse a stolen-election monologue—telling them he “won #Pennsylvania in a landslide.” 🤷🏼‍♂️
Imagine being 8 years old, waiting for “Merry Christmas,” & getting grandpa’s election grievance hotline.

The “Department Of Justice” didn’t uncover a million new documents, bribe for hire Pam Bondi manufactured more doctored garbage to use in order to protect her despicable boss. I consider anything and everything that the MAGA regime says or produces as a bold-faced lie.
