More info about Eilean Donan Castle, here, including a video.

Don't crowd, there's also a 4:30 pm show.

Baby Tigger.

Would you like some fries with that shake?

Rescuing Graham the Lamb. He's pretty cute.

Two exotic cats, a caracal and serval, playing together.

This retriever is taking his job home with him.

It's like Kirk vs. The Gorn.

Born to the saddle:

This is a really cute video. Jeffrey was a stray who had a broken jaw and was in generally poor, sickly shape. I know a lot of people don't like to see animals in pain. The video actually wasn't that bad, but I've started the video at 0:53, post his jaw surgery, so you can skip that.

While his jaw heals perfectly, it does heal a little off-kilter, which gives him the cutest little crooked smile.

29 Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos has ended a controversial partisan review of the 2020 election, which he and GOP legislators had funded for the past year, days after Vos defeated a primary challenger.
Vos ended the review and removed the chief investigator, former state Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman, on Friday, after more than a year and over $1 million in spending. On Tuesday, Vos narrowly won his primary over an opponent who had endorsements from both former President Donald Trump and Gableman.

Can that even possibly go anywhere? Seems like waiting for a possible change in the balance of power would be helpful. Unless she thinks that isn't going to happen. Or wants to protect the GOPe from having to show their true colors by shooting it down themselves. (Don't necessarily think that, but I haven't researched MTG in depth enough to believe my first impression of her.)

74 From noted political powerhouse People Magazine:

To obtain a warrant to search for and retrieve Trump's White House records from Mar-a-Lago, the FBI needed approval from a "neutral and detached" federal judge. To get the judge's signature, investigators had to demonstrate probable cause by showing there was reasonable information to support the possibility that evidence of illegality will be found during the search.
The execution of a search warrant does not mean that Trump committed or is accused of a crime.

As the saying goes, you can indict a ham sandwich. Unlike a petit jury, there's no requirement for unanimous vote to proceed (at least in my county). The indictment just moves the proceedings to the next phase, where things become much more interesting. The discovery phase from Trump's team should be very entertaining.

200 Whatever happened to murder hornets?

They hired a better PR firm according to this July 26, 2022 article in the NY Post

Scientists change Asian murder hornets name to avoid ‘discrimination’

https://tinyurl.com/37f4z75y

They are now to be known as Asian Love Stingers. No, I made that up. They are now the Northern Giant Hornet. The name change was to avoid stirring up hate crimes against Asian people, because Americans are too dumb to know the difference beetween people from Asia and two inch long hornets.

275 Looks like Creamsickle, the huge orange & white cat who occasionally visited me (like weekly) is now making it daily. He comes over and sits in some shrubbery below my back window waiting for me. If I don't come out after awhile (like, how do I know he's there?), he yowls for me. He won't let me pet him though he'll eat out of my hand and likes to give me blinks. Some feral cats just take a long time to get comfortable with humans. "Creamy" is the largest cat I've ever seen IRL. He's also got a beautiful coat, big ears and paws, just a handsome and well-groomed cat. Hungry though. How he manages to get enough food as big as he is, mystery.

Jimmy Hoffa A Step Above the Rest

280 Trump had something the regime wanted. It had nothing to do with any "crime" he committed. He had something on the Clintons or Bidens.

282 255 I did read a sampling of his 'work' following the success of Old Man's War...and it was all shit.

Old Man's War was his one good novel and he knows it. He knows that 20 yrs from now people will only remember Old Man's War and none of the other shit he wrote - not Redshirts, not his re-writing Piper, not his online woke warrior act, none of it. Hates that he'll be remembered as a one-hit wonder, if that. And he desperately wants to write something that will stand alongside OMW, but he can't and that eats a hole in his soul.

283 The correct response to Rushdie's stabbing in the US would be to bomb Tehran. It's state-sponsored terrorism on our soil, and the response should be merciless.

Interesting idea, but unlikely to do much against the death cult that is Iran. They truly believe that the more chaos they sow, the sooner their Mahdi will arrive to usher in a new age of Islamic paradise on Earth. A few martyrs--or thousands of martyrs--is a small price to pay for that.

>>Trump had something the regime wanted. It had nothing to do with any "crime" he committed. He had something on the Clintons or Bidens.

Its very likely the case, seeing as one of the items on the warrant was to seize any document or item that Trump may have seen or had in his possession for the entirety of his Presidency that the Junta/Deep State/Uniparty simply regarded Trump as illegitimate.

And being illegitimate, he is to be afforded no deference, rights of office or respect and he had documents in his possession that the Junta did not want him to have, period.

And they took them.

Redshirts really sucked. And I really wanted to like it. I tried to like it. I -forced- myself to sit down and read a chapter at a time, until I was saved by the local library that demanded I return the book. I was one of the three people that checked that book out. And the last. I later saw it in a "Five Dollar For a Milk Crate of Books" sale they held.

The view of first generation Anderman Empire transitioning to second generation is interesting. Although Hanson should have read the law on succession first.

He said inventories of all classified and unclassified documents whereabouts are to be known every 90 days. He said it is impossible that the feds did not know what Trump had and if he had super secret National security documents that were a danger to the country they would have left them with him for 18 months.
