Gov. Tim Walz said about Trump’s racist attack on Somali-Americans:
“It is unprecedented. We have kids going to school today, and
the president called them ‘garbage.’
Condemn this attack or you are complicit in it.
The only thing hurting this state is Trump himself.
Our kids are watching."

One of the reasons servicemembers, from admirals and generals to the greenest private, should know “don’t follow illegal orders” is that this administration is a goulash of dishonorable character flaws like cowardice and dishonesty. There is no bus under which these pissants will not throw you.

NYT:
Five officials told us that Hegseth had nothing to do with the second strike

Washpost (which broke the story 2 days ago):
“This is ‘protect Pete’ bullshit,”
and
“It’s throwing us, the service members, under the bus.”
At the White House on Monday, Karoline Leavitt, the press secretary, read a statement that said Mr. Hegseth had authorized the Special Operations commander overseeing the attack, Adm. Frank M. Bradley, “to conduct these kinetic strikes.” She said that Admiral Bradley had “worked well within his authority and the law directing the engagement to ensure the boat was destroyed and the threat to the United States of America was eliminated.” According to five U.S. officials, who spoke separately and on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive matter that is under investigation, Mr. Hegseth, ahead of the Sept. 2 attack, ordered a strike that would kill the people on the boat and destroy the vessel and its purported cargo of drugs. But, each official said, Mr. Hegseth’s directive did not specifically address what should happen if a first missile turned out not to fully accomplish all of those things. And, the officials said, his order was not a response to surveillance footage showing that at least two people on the boat survived the first blast. Admiral Bradley ordered the initial missile strike and then several follow-up strikes that killed the initial survivors and sank the disabled boat. As that operation unfolded, they said, Mr. Hegseth did not give any further orders to him. Her scripted remarks at a news briefing elicited a furious backlash within the Defense Department, where officials described feeling angry at the uncertainty over whether Hegseth would take responsibility for his alleged role in the operation — or leave the military and civilian staff under him to face the consequences. “This is ‘protect Pete’ bulls---,” one military official, who, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal conversations, told The Post. Leavitt’s statement “left it up to interpretation” who was responsible for the second strike that killed the two survivors, a separate military official said, imploring the White House to provide clarity on the issue. One official said of Leavitt’s statement, “It’s throwing us, the service members, under the bus.” Another person said some of Hegseth’s top civilian staff appeared deeply alarmed about the revelations and were contemplating whether to leave the administration.

Things I saw in #nature today. #hawk #beavers
Recent signs of fever activity. The bark has been stripped up and down both sides of the trunk. An up close look at the work of a beaver. The taller part of the trunk had fallen over right at the end of the cone formed on each side of the biting spot. A Cooper’s hawk waits patiently at the top of a tree. A few minutes after the shot, it swooped down into the scrubby grass, presumably catching its quarry. A view of the tree that has been gnawed by beavers. The bulk of the trunk leans over while the stump still stands upright, its pointy cone left after the beaver‘s work.

Mowing = #exercise
A screenshot from the Apple exercise app showing the walking route recorded after mowing my yard. The gray silhouettes of three houses go across the the lower third frame while bright yellows, oranges, reds and greens streak up and down around and beside my house. At the top, it says that 2.46 miles were recorded.

From the Council of Elrond, happening on October 25, ages ago….yet still somehow resonant.
Screenshot from the Lord of the Rings. The relevant passage is: “Despair, or folly?’ said Gandalf. ‘It is not despair, for despair is only for those who see the end beyond all doubt. We do not. It is wisdom to recognize necessity, when all other courses have been weighed, though as folly it may appear to those who cling to false hope. Well, let folly be our cloak, a veil before the eyes of the Enemy! For he is very wise, and weighs all things to a nicety in the scales of his malice. But the only measure that he knows is desire, desire for power; and so he judges all hearts. Into his heart the thought will not enter that any will refuse it, that having the Ring we may seek to destroy it. If we seek this, we shall put him out of reckoning.” Excerpt From The Lord of the Rings: One Volume J.R.R. Tolkien This material may be protected by copyright.

Things I saw in #nature this week. #spider #moth
An orb weaver spider rests at the center of its web. The plump body is mostly light brown in color but with distinct patches of solid black, white and yellow. Its legs alternate between yellow and black segments running down the course of their length. The spiderweb shimmers against an olive green background, the color of the roof under which the spider built its web. A nighttime shot with flash of numerous moths sipping happily from a rotting tomato, never picked and so still hanging from the vine.

Golfer Hits First Hole-in-one, Then Gets a Second the Same Day and Wins $500 From a Scratch-off
This particular day will be tough to beat. Anton Lawrence has been playing golf for 40 years and never once had a hole in one. Then, he stepped onto the teebox for Hole No. 8 at Cobbossee Colony Golf Course near Augusta, Maine. Lawrence was playing in a charity golf tournament with his youngest son, […] The post Golfer Hits First Hole-in-one, Then Gets a Second the Same Day and Wins $500 From a Scratch-off appeared first on Good News Network.

Things I saw in #nature today.
Four butterflies flutter among clusters of tiny blue flowers and long green leaves. A black widow spider is suspended upside down inside a small cavern of dried mud. It is tending to its web along with one of its orb-like sac of eggs. Its bright red splotch contrasts vividly with the rest of its solid black body and legs.

Somebody in this parking lot really loves #oralhealth.
A blue, disposable tooth flosser rests on the blacktop of a golf course parking lot. Some sort of white dental tool with a collection of filaments at one end that can squeeze between two teeth and scrub, lays sadly on blacktop, used and discarded like a too known n lover.

I saw a #frog today. #nature
A green tree frog compresses itself downward against the large green leaf of a corn plant. The same green tree frog, but the image is from further back to capture much more of the green in the garden.

More things I saw in #nature today. Praying Mantis. Swallowtail caterpillars.
The profile of a large praying mantis hanging upside down, its hind legs grasping onto the leaves of a tall, green corn plant. The praying mantis from the other side of the plant. It still hangs down. In this shot, the camera is further away to show the size of the mantis (8 inches, perhaps) and its ability to camouflage amid the corn leaves. A swallowtail caterpillar clings to the branches of a dill plant. Its coloration is a mesmerizing rotation of bright yellow, lime green, and black rows that run horizontally across its back. Two more caterpillars enjoy their time amongst the dill plant. The color pattern is slightly different on the one in the foreground, with more orange and white striping than the others.

Things I saw in #nature this weekend. Stick Bug. Hummingbird Moth.
I stick bug sits still on a concrete sidewalk. It is long with angular legs and two long antennae coming from its head. A large brown and gold moth hovers in front of a cluster of small purple flowers. Its wings vibrate as fast as a hummingbird’s.

#wildlife I saw today… #quail #squirrel
A Northern Bobwhite quail tries to nestle in unseen in our pumpkin patch. A large brown squirrel stands on her two hind feet, facing directly into the camera with her two front paws pressed together.

First day of school mobile! During orientation, I asked students playfully what they hate about school, a list, and then promised that I would have all of it in place for the first day. Follow through matters! #education #teachers
A picture of Bugs Bunny holding an anvil from the top of an old Timey sailing ship. Below, is a cartoon figure looking up with panic and sweat pouring from his face. Bugs Bunny is labeled my last name and the cartoon character is labeled “you.” The brainstormed list of topics when students were asked what they hate about school. A hand with the index finger points toward an entry labeled “piranha.” Part of the mobile, which includes a baby Yoda eating a frog, and a close-up of a piranha with all of its sharp teeth visible from its open gaping mouth. The entire mobile hanging from the ceiling of the classroom.
