For Immediate Release

  “So, for anyone who questions whether allies matter, they do. Today is a powerful example of why it’s vital to have friends in this world. Friends you can trust, work with and depend upon, especially on matters of great consequence and sensitivity like this.

 Our alliances make our people safer.”

 

President Joe Biden

August 1st 2024

 

I hope folks remember that, when preparing to vote this coming November. Right now, in Trump, people on the right are seeing the entertainer, not the dangerous reality TV buffoon. Joe Biden has been an amazing president, and he will work for us until his last day in office. I can sleep at night because of him, so I honestly don't understand why folks can't see what a decent man he is. I am hoping by November, the voting public with begin to see, Trump for who, and what, he is! A selfish man, who is in it to keep himself out of prison. I have the greatest of faith in the Biden/Harris administration, and for Kamala Harris as president one day soon! Lately, every day seems better than the last. I am almost afraid to be this happy!

Thank you, President Joe Biden, And God's Speed!

 

A Woman Who Stares At Ducks

 

“I once taught a duck how to swim.

 I'm such a good coach that in no time at all it learned how to fly.”

  Eggs, they’re not just for breakfast

 

As uninspired as I have been feeling lately, I found a lot of happiness in photographing this gorgeous Bufflehead duck, at the Clifton Court Forebay. There was still a shocking lack of birds, but I still managed to photograph two new birds. The Shrike and the Song sparrow. That brings the total for January to 80! Not too shabby. The Shrike photo is blurry, so hopefully I will get a chance to redo that at some time later this year. I have seen one at the forebay on other occasions, so I am pretty sure it will happen. It's something to look forward to. Sigh. This lack of inspiration will pass, I just need to get there. 

 

By the way, this also happened yesterday...

 

The Oscar Nominations were announced.

 

Biggest snub... Margot Robbie. But Ryan Gosling was surely nominated. In case you didn't know, he played Ken. Don't get me wrong, I like Ryan Gosling very much, but holy HELL! I won't give anything away, but that whole dynamic sure drives home the whole point of the movie! If you haven't seen, Barbie, go watch it. You will enjoy it, I promise! See the full list of nominees here. All I have to say is, FUCK THE OSCARS!

 

 

 

And also, this happened...

 

Sigh...

 

 

Thank You, President Biden

 Thank You, President Biden

Two Presidential Candidates And A Blond...

 

"Bad times have a scientific value.

 These are occasions a good learner would not miss."

 

Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

 

Just three things...

 

1. Marjory Taylor Green used the word, "decorum."

 

2. Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida, announced his candidacy for President of the United States on Twitter today, with Elon Musk by his side. A fun idea I guess, if only Twitter hadn't continually crashed the announcement and interviews. When will Elon Musk learn that firing all the tech engineers is a bad thing, if you want to play King Shit in the tech/ world? And when will Republicans learn that Elon Musk is a fraud? Oh wait! Oh well, here is what it looked like as a screen shot...

This is funny too, but in the best way possible...

3. Former President Donald John Trump sent a letter, yesterday through his lawyers, to Attorney General Merrick Garland. It can be read in it's entirety below, but I will sum it up right here, right now. It reads...

"PLEASE DON'T PROSECUTE ME!"

 

Did you ever get the impression that you weren't the only
