Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.

This has been my point for weeks about what Musk is after. Consolidated data from the biggest mine of information in the world. He’s so thirsty for data he’d get his hands on the nuclear codes if he could. Could he? www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

CNN thinks we might be in a "Constitutional Crisis" leading to the "breakdown of the US government." I'd say that's a fair read.
NYT has a story on it if you scroll far enough down the page.
Maybe democracy dies in light when not enough people care.
Well, I care.

This sweet girl had several teeth removed last week, and she’s been sore and sad despite the best drugs.
She turned a corner today, back to her silly, playful self. She instigated chasing games with her sisters — my heart is full.

I just watched ep 1 & 2 of FBI True (Season5) about Ammon & Ryan Bundy (ranchers from Nevada) who went to Oregon to challenge federal authority. Initially they planned, with other armed militia members, to protest Dwight & Steven Hammond’s surrender to prison for having set fire to federal land.

Oil? Minerals? In our opinion, no.
Water.
Who was at the table with Trump and Trudeau?
Pipeline execs.
2+2 = the Trump/Elon likely coming for our water
Who would facilitate that?
