And this is why we do not follow unlawful orders. Higher ups WILL NOT hesitate to throw you under the bus. They will be enjoying the finest of steaks and the most expensive wine, while you are being taken away in handcuffs.

Dear Senator Cassidy,

“We” didn’t. WE didn’t pardon anyone. HE did. The President of the United States pardoned him. Come on Bill, say his name. Who’s our president? Say his name.

Best,

Your Former Congressional Colleague

We had an orange female cat years ago, and I have wanted another every since she passed. FYI, orange female cats get adopted crazy fast at the shelters. Anyhow, from left to right, my 2nd attempt at getting an orange female, kitten that showed up in my yard, and 1st attempt. 🥰

I spent most of Thanksgiving, and back again Friday night in the ER. Hypertension emergency. BP in the 190s over low 100s. Never had an issue with high blood pressure before. Pets are supposed to reduce stress and BP. These are my 4 pets that are not doing their damn job lol. I still love them. ❤️

Happy belated #caterday. I love how cats can get comfortable in the oddest places.

I can't catch a break with these allergies. The wind storm we are having has me constantly sneezing.

I think the Republicans are only brave enough to stand up to Trump now is because they know, due to his health, he is dying. They will try to drag out releasing the Epstein files as long as they can in hopes that they can release them after he dies.

Any one else find it maddening to thread a sewing machine? Raising the bobbin thread is even worse. I got a new machine after not sewing for years, and all the reasons I stopped are coming back to me. IDK if being left-handed is the issue. Is it? Or is it just me? Am I the problem lol?

The least blurry picture I took of him this morning.
His new hiding spot is in the middle drawer of the desk. He can get into it from below. IDK how he fits in it, but he does.

If telling someone to follow their oath is treason, that oath is treasonous.
If telling someone to follow the law is treason, those laws are treasonous.
If telling someone to follow the Constitution is treason, the Constitution is treasonous.
MAGA, is that what you are saying?
