Golden Hour Cafe

King of Wings hoodoo in New Mexico, under the Milky Way
by Wayne Pinkston
Elements of this photo look unreal but
that hoodoo is actually real

As the underage male prostitute said to Adam Schiff, "That's a big hole to fill."

United by their shared love of head-butting.

Amateurs talk about tactics, professionals talk about logistics.

SCTV: The Ricardo Montalban School of Fine Acting. Jess!

Bad mane day.

Bored duck twiddles his feet.

Puppy dumped in park is rescued and finds his forever home.

Golden retriever holds a toy so that a blind puppy can play with it.

Rescuing a groundhog from a pool.

Bunny rub.

World's largest gathering of golden retrievers (allegedly) in Golden, Colorado.

.@POTUS: "He gave classified information. He's not supposed to be doing that... I don't know if they're real or not... I don't have an opinion on it, I never talk about it. A lot of people do — a lot of people believe it. Do you believe it, Peter?"

35 The topic of the previous thread is why I have a hard time taking the current crop of leftist radicals seriously. Oh they talk a big game and they want to terrible things - but they’re all incompetent bunglers, they fuck everything up. Timothy McVeigh was an evil murderer, but he was also quite competent and came up with a hell of a weapon. The current bunch is like a legion of Squeaky Fromme’s out to take their vengeance on the world.

36 If I'm in a thread and someone posts nood, I usually close the tab and reopen the main AoS link, no pop-up add just going directly to comments when I do that.

I have noticed that if I hit the AoS link at the top of a comments thread I do get the pop-up ad, Its a tiny inconvenience, its 5 seconds and then you can close the ad, but if you were hitting that link constantly trying to score a 'first' I suppose it might get old. I don't have ad-block and just using chrome for my AoS habit.

Expressing solidarity with the French people on a subject that concerns everyone is not interference. Sorry Macron didn't understand that. "

The despicable Macron sets out to tell Meloni that he cannot lament the barbaric murder of the young patriot Quentin Deranque by the hordes of the far-left La France Insoumise, who have done so many favors for the biggest failure of the failed leaders of European globalism.

He says he should stop commenting on what happens in other people's countries. This is coming from the scoundrel who engages in massive interference in Hungary, who helped steal the presidency of Romania from Georgiescu, and who has made a fool of himself with his attempts to intervene in the affairs of half the world. _@hermanntertsch
