The President doesn't want you standing up and speaking out against him, so he's coming after me to intimidate all of us.

But I won't back down — and neither should you.

Judah, the Sarplaniac (also known as Yugoslavian or Balkan Shepherd)

He's my buddy.

His job is to guard the house, the yard, and all who dwell within.

Sarplaniacs are rare in the US, and they require special handling. They need a job to do, or they can easily become ill-tempered.

#bicycle Project for Winter:
A circa 1970 #Peugeot Grand Sport, to be rebuilt and converted to a 3 speed internal gear hub with 26 inch wheels.

(This vintage Peugeot came with 26 inch wheels, but not the current standard.)

The intent is a wet weather commuter that doubles as a utility #bike. >ALT

My daughter and I visited the house we lived in when she was a baby, and she was shocked a 29-year-old Navy guy could afford a nice house in a safe neighborhood.

That wasn’t crazy in 1996 — but today, a nice house is out of reach for so many young people. That has to change.

The whole Maddow interview clip is well worth your time, but this segment, imho, gives a hint of how Kelly would campaign in a national election against any MAGA candidate.

Capt. Mark Kelly (USN, Ret.) on Maddow.

Well worth the time to watch.

As one friend here observed, the video of Kelly in full dress uniform reciting the UCMJ in his defense at a Courts Martial would make one heck of a Presidential Campaign Ad.
