The HHS nominee is a dangerous science-denying conspiracy nut.

The FBI nominee pleaded the 5th to his involvement in criminal conspiracies and has fund raised for violent insurrectionists.

The DNI nominee is a Russian asset.

I left the farm today. Normally not of interest, but it was the first time in a couple weeks… of a deep freeze big snow situation. 😉 Haven’t had water for three days. So… delicious lunch at Bistro M, visit with Patty, and came home to thawed pipes and a very welcome shower! Welcome to Bluesky, y’all
