I don't like the new weather warning system. A "yellow snow warning" sounds like a dog peed on the stuff.

Counting down to my hip replacement. Spent much of yesterday at pre-op appointments (long day), but all is good to go Feb. 2.

Okay, Trump didn't mention it, but I just watched some US news, and they are calmly discussing "rehemisphering". They have a new word for the US taking over the continent. 😡

Has anyone bothered to point out that, as a foreign leader, Maduro has diplomatic immunity and can't legally be tried in the US?
January 4, 2026 at 4:47 PM
That pretty much covers it.

So the US is going to run Venezuela and take their oil. We already know he wants Canada. I am feeling sick right now.

So the US has gone ahead with invading Venezuela. Presumably that means Greenland is next, then Canada. Is anyone going to do anything?

I have updated my image from the "Elbows Up". Not because I don't still believe it, but because I like to see faces when I chat with people. And anyone paying attention knows how I feel by now. Elbows up!

"The significance of this appointment is both the US presumption that Greenland is separate to Denmark and the new appointee's assertion that he will help the island become part of the US." www.bbc.com/news/article...
New Trump envoy says he will serve to make Greenland part of US
Denmark warns Washington to respect its sovereignty, while Greenland says it will decide its own future.

Why do people care so much about the Epstein files? You have the word of multiple victims. Do you trust a dead man more than living (and dead) women?
