We, the United States, are a pirate nation. We kidnap foreign leaders, Maduro is a terrible guy and his nation may rejoice, but then we leave his administration in power ??? We steal oil tankers on the high seas ... And these are acts that we should not be proud about??? Lord, have mercy.

When President Joe Biden vacated the White House his replacement proved incapable of remaining the Leader of the Free World. The honor now resides with the Ukrainian President.

Trump administration fires hundreds from NOAA, National Weather Service. Might as well use use a Weather Forecasting stone moving forward. Low Tech, never lies, but won't give you any notice or warning of potential life threatening weather events. That used to be done by the people fired today.

A quiet protest and easy enough to participate.

When the president terminates agreements with the World Health Organization and installs an anti-vac idiot to lead the Health Department is it any wonder the FDA isn't discussing what flu strains should be included in the next set of vaccines. They're out to kill people. Who voted for these idiots?

These were the headlines three years ago. Someone tell 47 that you don't blame invaded countries (Ukraine) that they started a war. What an idiot, and even more so those who will now think that is the truth because it came from his mouth.

Did he run for president or is he still thinking he's in the real estate business?

How do Canadian tariffs impact Maryland's Economy? Inflate the costs to export and import items. It makes it more expense to produce goods and it will cost us more expensive to purchase Canadian goods. Canadians are teaming together. (Source 3/2024 Canadian Embassy)

Happy Groundhog's Day... Yes, Punxsutawney Phil is going back into his burrow for six more weeks of winter. Just as the U.S. president will be burrowed in his Oval Office, black sharpie in hand, to sign more Executive Letter extending winter & frosty relations to neighbors, allies and all.

Thankful for Bluesky. Removed the Facebook app from my phone and Bluesky replaced it. It's a new day. I appreciate a diversity of voices, but not being bombarded with derisive and abusive posts and comments. I'm not disengaging from the world, just finding a place of respite in the storm.

Popped up on my meditation app this morning. "Make room for some stillness today. Make it a priority." It's a good thought to put into practice.
