Where should we send gift baskets to the Senate Parliamentarian?

She is literally not allowing the worst provisions of the BBB.

Thank you, Elizabeth McDonough.

I have predicted that soon there will be National Guard troops in all major blue cities.

Someone, who called me “Honey,” told me there aren’t enough troops.

Really? Looks like enough to me.

And if not, Dear Leader will not hesitate to send in the US Marines.

So sweet. I saw so many on the Amazon River in Peru.

Arrest the guy in the face shield and badge.

He’s just whacking people with his baton for no reason.

Can anyone identify him? He needs to be arrested.

We did it! We got more than 3.5% of the US population protesting on No Kings Day.

More than 12 million strong!

The “No Kings” protests in every state may have been the biggest day of demonstrations in American history.

“Based on 100’s of crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day turnout, it looks like roughly 4-6m people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday.

Our planet is so beautiful.

The truth is that LA is enormous and protests are located in a tiny section of the city/county.

The media and Gestapo would have you believe the whole city is burning down.

Facts matter. See that little red circle, that is the protests.

Good morning, BlueSkyers.

This is a Hoatzin bird from the Amazon-Peru.

I’ve decided to use my photos from my cruise down the Amazon River as a cleanser for these dark times.

If my photos help give you just a momentary break from the horror in LA and in DC, you are welcome.

I just got back from a cruise down the Amazon River in Peru, only to learn about the Trump-Musk breakup and a few good Court rulings.

I was only gone for 10 days.

Every week feels like another year.

My gift from the Amazon.

The regime is actively going after Democrats at every level of government across this country. Revenge and retribution in plain sight.

Judges, Mayors, Governors, Congressional Representatives, State Attorneys General, and former officials of the Biden Administration.
