I’m so glad that I got back from France in time to witness these beauties showing up and showing off.
Tree peonies, not sure anymore of the cultivar.
This is a grouping of three luminous deep pink interior petal to a light translucent out petal peonies with an orange/yellow short filament centre. They’re cascading over a wood trunk next to the strappy new green leaves of a crocosmia.

This is exactly what the convicted felon and his oligarchs “paid-for-puppet”did to the President of Ukraine.
An intriguing analysis has been circulating online regarding the psychological aspects of Zelensky’s meeting with Trump and Vance, conducted using ChatGPT. From this analysis, it becomes evident that we have witnessed a true masterclass in gaslighting, manipulation, and coercion on the part of Trump and his entourage. Let’s break down the key points: 1. Blaming the victim for their own situation Trump explicitly tells Zelensky: “You have allowed yourself to be in a very bad position.” This is classic abuser rhetoric—blaming the victim for their suffering. The implication is that Ukraine itself is responsible for being occupied by Russia and for the deaths of its people. 2. Pressure and coercion into ‘gratitude’ Vance demands that Zelensky say “thank you.” This is an extremely toxic tactic—forcing the victim to express gratitude for the help they desperately need, only to later accuse them of ingratitude if they attempt to assert their rights. 3. Manipulating the concept of ‘peace’ Trump claims that Zelensky is “not ready for peace.” However, what he actually means is Ukraine’s capitulation. This is a classic manipulation technique—substituting the idea of a just peace with the notion of surrender. 4. Refusing to acknowledge the reality of war Trump repeatedly insists that Zelensky has “no cards to play” and that “without us, you have nothing.” This is yet another abusive tactic—undermining the victim’s efforts by asserting that they are powerless without the mercy of their ‘saviour.’ 5. Devaluing the victims of war “If you get a ceasefire, you must accept it so that bullets stop flying and your people stop dying,” Trump says. Yet, he ignores the fact that a ceasefire without guarantees is merely an opportunity for Russia to regroup and strike again. 6. Dominance tactics Trump constantly interrupts Zelensky, cutting him off: “No, no, you’ve already said enough,” and “You’re not in a position to dictate to us.” This is deliberate psychological pressure designed to establish a hierarchy in which Zelensky is the subordinate. 7. Forcing capitulation under the guise of ‘diplomacy’ Vance asserts that “the path to peace lies through diplomacy.” This is a classic strategy where the aggressor is given the opportunity to continue their aggression unchallenged. 8. Projection and distortion of reality Trump declares: “You are playing with the lives of millions of people.” Yet, in reality, it is he who is doing exactly that—shifting responsibility onto Zelensky. 9. Creating the illusion that Ukraine ‘owes’ the US Yes, the US is assisting Ukraine, but presenting this aid as “you must obey, or you will receive nothing” is not a partnership—it is financial and military coercion. 10. Undermining Ukraine’s resistance Trump states that “if it weren’t for our weapons, this war would have ended in two weeks.” This is an attempt to erase Ukraine’s achievements and portray its efforts as entirely dependent on US support. Conclusion Trump and his team employed the full spectrum of abusive tactics: gaslighting, victim-blaming, coercion into gratitude, and manipulation of the concepts of peace and diplomacy. This was not a negotiation—it was an attempt to force Zelensky into accepting terms beneficial to the US but potentially fatal for Ukraine.

I couldn’t agree more.
A guy who makes $8 million a day off the government thinks seniors getting $65 a day they worked their whole lives to earn is a “ponzi scheme.” Protect Social Security. Fire Elon Musk.

It’s all one big loyalty test.

This face gives me so much joy.
Meet my grand puppy, Forrest Crump, Pomsky extraordinaire🐾❤️🐶
A smiling Pomsky dog. A pomsky is a cross between a Siberian husky and a Pomeranian. This particular dog has the husky markings and coloring on the face, but with a long coat that is characteristic of the Pomeranian. This is a petite framed dog who stands a little over 24” at his head. He has a long coat that changes color (on his back, collar and framing of his white face) and thickness with the seasons. Its tail is also long and flag like because of the long length of its coat. This particular pup has next to zero need to be vocal unlike his lineage would suggest, which leads my husband to believe he’s on the autism spectrum. lol

This seems to be yet another excellent reason, in a litany, as to why Hegseth should be resoundingly disqualified by the senate.
