Zelensky refused to kiss the King’s ring.

Thanks Martin!

Gotta love the midwest!

Lovely capture!

Is there a definitive manual on birds in your area? Britain, Scotland, UK? I subscribe to Cornell's Birds of the World, but I prefer something hands on. Thanks in advance!

The Little Grassbird looks like a combo of a wren and thrush.

I soooo want to go birding in Australia! How wonderful for you!

Thank you Jean! It was one of many I took of them. This one turned out great as the little branch looked like mistletoe.

Aid to Farmers is to offset the holy hell that will break lose with Trump's additional tariffs on China and the new ones on Mexico and Canada. "Farmers" is a broad category. Even DEL MONTE and Green Giant qualify.

It did under Trumps 1st term. As long as they get their SS checks and Medicare payments made, they just don't care and Elon knows that.

Perhaps it will take non-payment of those two to actually get their attention. Not that I want anyone to hurt. But cuts to those are coming under Trump.

Reporting of anything under Trump disappeared or had given way to wishful thinking.

He's blaming Biden. He will continue to blame Biden for all the things he lied about to get in office. We have four years to look forward to the continual blame game.

Congrats! I'm happy for you but not? Those things breed like rabbits and actually kill off other species around them, in my area it is Wrens, other Sparrows and Chickadees. I hope it is a solitary accidental.

It appears that this country will never again pass a clean bill. This is such a sad state of affairs. Party politics should never show its ugly face inside a bill. Period.

Elon is thrilled because he wants to invest in lithium mining. That $280 million campaign investment will pay off.
