In no way can we so effectively hasten the dawning of the inner consciousness of another, as by showing forth the divinity within ourselves simply by the way we live. By example and not by precept. By living not by preaching. By doing not professing. -RalphWaldo Trine

No big surprise here as Trump golfs in New Jersey knowing full well the storm was on the way. It is what he does best -- ignores everything so he can suit himself.
BREAKING NEWS
Hurricane Hanna made landfall in Texas. The southeast region in the storm's path has been battered by the pandemic as virus cases surge in the state.
Saturday, July 25, 2020 7:15 PM EST
Hanna's eye made landfall on Padre Island, about 60 miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border, with winds of 90 m.p.h. As the National Weather Service warned that the strong winds could peel roofs from homes, mangle trees and cause power failures, mayors and local officials turned from one crisis to another.

Yes, our emergency ppl here have been making plans for what to do if a storm threatens Florida. Normally here, they open certain schools that are safer from flood and tide surge. Saying stay home if you can, but if you must leave, they will try to figure out social distances.
I am 8 feet above sea level, can see the Gulf of Mexico from my living room. I’ve only evacuated once in 35 years here, that was for Irma, a few years ago. That storm blew all the water out of Tampa Bay.
So while the rest of us here wear masks, and watch the weather forecasts, dip shit is out on the golf course. At least he’s not holding up a sharpie map with wrong info.

Sinclair Broadcasting Stations to Air Plandemic Conspiracies
Posted: 25 Jul 2020 03:33 PM PDT
Local television stations owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Group are set to air a conspiracy theory over the weekend that suggests Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top expert on infectious diseases, was responsible for the creation of the coronavirus. The baseless conspiracy theory is set to air on stations across the country in a segment during the program "America This Week" hosted by Eric Bolling.0 -
Trump Retreats as Virus Surges Out of Control
Posted: 25 Jul 2020 11:33 AM PDT
Phillip Rucker: For Trump, this has been a week of retreat. Rather than bending others to his will, the president has been the one backing down from long-held positions in the face of resistance from fellow Republicans or popular opposition, scrambling to resurrect his reelection campaign while the coronavirus continues to ravage the nation.He didn't retreat from so much more of what he should have, but some of the R's have had to break with this guy. Way past time and I hope a lot more do. I hope they cannot chance being enablers. It is going to be so very difficult to get out from under all this. Having R's that can't or won't go along will be valuable to us.

A year ago today, Trump had a phone call with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky and promised to deliver the money Congress had appropriated for Ukraine's protection against Russian military incursions. Then he added: "I would like you to do us a favor, though...."
While Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman, who was on the call, told his superiors what he had heard, someone else filed a whistleblower complaint. That complaint went to Trump's own appointee at the Intelligence Community's Inspector General's office, Michael Atkinson. Atkinson agreed that the matter was both "credible" and "urgent" and that House and Senate Intelligence Committees must be informed, as required by law.
Atkinson followed the law, passing the information to the acting Director of National Intelligence, Joseph Maguire, on August 26. Maguire had only taken office ten days before, on August 16, after Trump's first DNI, Dan Coats, and Coates's second-in-command, Sue Gordon, both resigned. As an acting director, rather than a Senate-confirmed leader, Maguire served at the pleasure of the president.
Maguire was supposed to scour the whistleblower complaint of all classified information before forwarding to Congress by September 2, as the law required. But, instead, Maguire took the complaint to the Department of Justice, headed by Trump loyalist Attorney General William Barr. On his advice, Maguire decided not to turn over the information to Congress.
When that happened, Atkinson told the relevant congresspeople that the DNI was illegally withholding the complaint. On September 10, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Adam Schiff (D-CA) demanded that acting DNI Maguire produce it. Maguire refused, saying that the complaint was about someone not in the Intelligence Community, and therefore not covered by the whistleblower law. (The law does not give him the authority to refuse to deliver a complaint his IG considers credible and urgent. It says he MUST deliver it.)
On Friday, September 13, Schiff wrote a scathing letter to Maguire that brought this whole issue to public attention, noting that it sure seemed like Maguire might be protecting the president, and demanding Maguire follow the law and hand over the whistleblower complaint.
I happened to be scrolling through Twitter when Schiff's letter dropped, and I recognized it for what it was: a powerful member of Congress accusing a specific member of the Executive Branch of breaking a specific law... the sort of moment on which American history turns.
And that, my friends, is how these Letters began.
Since then, the House impeached Trump but the Senate exonerated him; Vindman is gone; Atkinson is gone; Maguire is gone. But as Trump has increasingly consolidated his power, Americans have woken up and taken to heart that democracy is not a spectator sport.
It has been a year by the calendar, but an eternity in the history of this nation.
Still, for all that I yearn for a time when we can go for days without worrying about what's going on in the White House, I am profoundly grateful to have discovered so many other people who care as deeply as I do about this country.
There is plenty of news today, but none of it breaking, so I am going to let it go for a night.
See you all tomorrow.

Self-respect cannot be hunted. It cannot be purchased. It is never for sale. It cannot be fabricated out of public relations.
It comes to us when we are alone, in quiet moments, in quiet places, when we suddenly realize that, knowing the good, we have done it; knowing the beautiful, we have served it; knowing the truth, we have spoken it.

Ruth: Great poster and message.
I wish Lt. Col. Vindman could still receive his promotion in spite of his retirement. He earned it in spades for being a loyal patriot, serving his country on the battlefield as well as in the WH and having to endure censure from someone who should be licking his boots, not criticizing his patriotism. Vindman can face himself in the mirror with respect and embodies the quote for today. Can't say the same for the a**wipe called POTUS.

I’m currently house sitting for my older dd and taking care of her cat. I’m not really a cat person but she’s not bad! I do miss dogs though it was nice not to have to worry about being home to take the dog out. I will probably retire after this school year and then get another dog. That little pooch will be spoiled

Yup, dogs are the best! Exbrnxgrl - Your future dog will be so happy.

We had to put our sixteen year old poodle to sleep last month. She was my Mom's dog, but when my Mom died, Peachy came to live with us. She was the sweetest, pestiest, funniest little creature I've ever known. Six and a half pounds of personality. I miss her terribly.

Ruth, I'd love to post that sign in my yard

Trish...as a lover of my young poodle and the many othes with whom I have shared my life, my heart weighs heavy thinking about your loss. Your missing her is your honoring her.

Dogs and cats are keeping some of us sane ( I hope ). Around our house are mainly rescues but all adored. I agree totally with the sign. I also agree that it hurts when they have to go to the Bridge. You can't get such love and loyalty from anything else and they ask nothing but just to be with you. Never question -- they just love. ((((( Trish ))))))

We always had cats....give-aways, strays, or rescues. They are all gone now; but DS, who lives in town has 2 dogs and 2 cats. We snatch the dogs almost every weekday when their master is at work and take them for walks and other dog adventures.

We go to the dog park just about every night weather permitting. During the run up to the last election tempers flared quite a bit there too. It was and still is, ugly. I’d like to find tshirts for my two to wear, vote blue, Biden for prez, or something. Anybody seen anything like that?
and this is spookies formerly white poodle brother, who had a blast at the park one night.0
