They've chopped down cherry trees and waged full-on war. Riding the highs and lows of the leaders who've tried to Make America Great Again.
False Spring. Content Warning.
Two cardinals and a small flock of house sparrows were the first to celebrate the arrival of spring on Wednesday morning. The sun was shining and rattling bikes scooted over cobblestone streets. Dogs and their people met at the corners without their winter jackets. The biting cold had passed and the buzz of warmth was in the air. Beer mugs and plates clanked at corner cafes like windchimes, and windows were opened to blow winter’s dust through the back door.

Vicarishame - 5
I was driving most of the day today, getting only the snippets of the big news on the radio because NPR was running away from the frequencies available to me. But even the little news that broke through the static made me facepalm myself in shame for Trump.

February 24 - Forever Black Day
This day is particularly dark for me as we are marking three full years of Russia's assault on Ukraine. There was a large rally and demonstration in Washington, DC on Saturday, Feb.22, and several large cities have planned activities such as rallies, demonstrations, requiems and prayers over the weekend and today.

British couple in their 70s arrested by Taliban.
British couple in their 70s arrested by Taliban. A British elderly couple, Peter Reynolds (79) and his wife Barbie (75) who dedicated 18 years of their lives to social and educational services in Afghanistan have been detained by the Taliban. The couple was arrested on February 1 while returning to their home in Bamiyan. Since then their children and family have received no clear updates about their condition causing immense concern among their loved ones. Peter and Barbie had been running various educational projects in Afghanistan since 2009 including five schools in Kabul and a training program for mothers and children in Bamiyan. Even after the Taliban's return to power in 2021 when most foreigners and NGO employees left the country the couple chose to stay. Their reason was simple they could not abandon Afghanistan in its time of need.

Idiots of Chaos
This take-apart 2025 administration is using Project 2025 to bust America. So many warnings came ahead of the election, but it didn't matter. Elon had the money to get the felon-tyrant elected; that and the Electoral College. Elon has well-known racist views and now thinks he is running the American government. He "preaches" about democracy and doesn't know what it is, but the tyrant gives him a pulpit. Being SOUTH AFRICAN, he can't run for president, but the convicted felon has figured that out, too. Bring him on as an advisor, and let him run amuck. Elon has unleashed twenty-year-old hackers to crack all the government systems. The tyrant is fine with this, and so are Republicans in Congress.
