Biden threatens world
Biden threatens the world with comment US is to have a female President soon , this can only be the savage or Pelosi . May all the Gods help us
online now!
It appears your wish hasn't been granted...
On the 9th of January Moderator wrote a blog "Posting of political Blogs and Forums" in it he stated "So we've decided it would be best to concentrate on more positive categories for discussion, and to no longer allow posting of threads and blogs about Politics and Covid issues.
This is to let you know that, for now, we will be removing any that are posted."
The Moderator profile hasn't been online since and the direction of the blogs have actually taken a turn.

Well that was a waste of time and money
Afghanistan close to falling to the Taliban now . US and UK , possibly Canadian troops going in to cover the removal of western civilians . Would not have mattered which president was running the US as the result would be the same , time frame would have been different . What follows is what Trump has said
Had our 2020 Presidential Election not been rigged, and if I were now President, the world would find that our withdrawal from Afghanistan would be a conditions-based withdrawal. I personally had discussions with top Taliban leaders whereby they understood what they are doing now would not have been acceptable. It would have been a much different and much more successful withdrawal, and the Taliban understood that better than anyone. What is going on now is not acceptable. It should have been done much better.
Better Trumps name is not involved with the military loss in Afghanistan . Pin should have been pulled the day Bin Laden was nailed . NZ lost a few troupies up there . Brother was there in 2001 , he got RTU'ed after calling someone a fat , useless lazy punt .

No traction because the options are worse
Last month Jackson, who served as the personal physician of both President Obama and President Trump, joined a dozen Republican House members in a letter calling on Biden to take a cognitive function test — as Trump did while he was in office — and publicly release the results.
If Biden has no health issue he has nothing to fear , Much was requested of Trump . Of course everybody knows he's soft in the head and nobody pays any worthwhile attention to the dirty old man anyway . The real fear is , the options are worse .
sssshhhh be vewwwy vewwwy quiet.
I have a lot of trees on my property.
They provide a lot of shade and some mulberries.
There's also some raspberries and blackberries growing too,
thanks to the birds.
Often when I wake up in the morning I go into the bathroom to pee.
When standing there, I look out a window.
Many times I see birds, a rabbit or two, a hawk on occasion
and I have a groundhog, who had 2 babies this year.
Also this year for the first time I saw a doe, "a deer, a female deer..."
It was while I was taking some table scraps to my compost heap in the back
of the property. She bolted out of there.
Well, this morning as I was in the bathroom, standing there, I looked out the window and
to my surprise was a 6 point buck lying down less than 10 feet from the house in the shade.
So, rather than peeing in the water, I aimed for the side of the bowl, so I wouldn't startle him.
I don't know if it made a difference, but the end result is, that he is still there.
Apparently, I am opening a bed & breakfast for deer.
Plenty of shade and a berry comfortable stay.
We'll leave the light.......off.

Clover the hero dog
In response to:
By Tim Fitzsimons
A dog named Clover is being hailed by Canadian media as a hero for helping her human, Haley Moore, survive a seizure that struck her suddenly during a walk.
Moore was strolling through the Stittsville neighborhood of Ottawa on Tuesday when she seized and fell to the curb, CTV News reported.
The incident was captured by a neighbor's home security camera.
Clover, a year-and-a-half-old Maremma mix, sprung into action, attending first to Moore before bounding into the street and stopping traffic.
Dryden Oatway, a driver who stopped thanks to Clover's heroics, said, "It was really impressive, the dog actually blocked my way. She kind of backed into the road to block my truck."
Clover stopped another driver and then returned home.
"All I remember is waking up in the ambulance and being really confused, just like, 'What is going on?'" Moore recalled in an interview with CTV. The cause of seizure remains unknown.
Moore's father, Randall Moore, told CTV that Clover was fed delicious steaks as a reward for her faithful service.
Psychology Today reported in March that new research suggests that seizure-predicting dogs are aided by the scent of volatile organic compounds that are excreted around seizures.

Good dog ! Very good dog !
I was rewarded deerly !
This morning I played softball.
I had a good time and went 2 for 3 at the plate, plus a walk, and I scored twice,
which equaled my activity last night.
When the game ended it was hot, about 88 F. and muggy.
I stopped by an Aldi store on the way home to get several food items,
plus I got some chocolate ice cream.
When I got home, I sat in front of a fan and had some of that ice cream,
while watching a Mets baseball game. After the game was over, I decided to go visit
a park where I have local deer becoming familiar with me. I've photographed them
about 8 times and each time they become more tolerant of my presence.
Today was the best though. At first, I couldn't find any of the deer.
Because it was hot out, I figured they were probably lying down somewhere in the woods.
So, instead, I took pictures of a green dragonfly and a blue jay, that I found.
But, I kept looking out for the deer. Eventually, I found one buck. He was alone, but luckily, he was familiar with me and allowed me to take photos of him at close range.
He usually hangs out with another buck about his age, about 4 years old.
The bucks have their antlers growing behind felt right now.
I was following him, walking parallel to his foraging and eventually I was leading him in the same direction. I sat down awaiting him to catch up (he was busy eating leaves from a small tree at the time. I was near the edge of the woods in a field looking out at him.
All of a sudden, to my surprise, 2 tiny fawn walked out of the woods and went just past me on my left, only about 5 feet from me. They looked right at me and didn't seem to mind that I was there. Perhaps they had been watching me and the buck from the woods. Either way, I got lots of great very close photos of them looking at me, preening each other, and foraging.
After about 40 photos, the 2 fawn decided to lie down in the shade together between some small evergreens, while the buck kept foraging.
I took several more photos of them lying down, and then decided to leave them be.
I didn't want to overstay my welcome. But, it was terrific to be so accepted by the little ones and the buck, perhaps their father.
I hope I'll get to see them again and see them grow up over time.

Local Deer Friends
I seem to have a talent for making friends with deer.
It has lead to excellent photos.
I never feed them. I just respect them and how they feel.
They are generally fearful of humans. I can understand that, and why.
I've learned their cues to this and how to interact with them to make them much more comfortable.
Eventually, they accept me, as one of their herd.
So far, deer in 3 different distant towns totally tolerate my presence.
But, I've never attempted it more locally, until this year.
It's in the beginning stages.
I've taken photos of them 5 times. Six times, if you include today.
Generally, the does are most receptive. Males, having testosterone, generally have less patience.
Thus, again generally the bucks are the least receptive.
However, it's not a rule.
Two times ago just, before dusk, there were 2 of them, a does and a young buck that were
lying down in a field about 15 feet from each other and they let me get near them
and sit down. I took some nice pictures of her, as she was closer.
Then, I got up and walked away from them to go back home.
The last time was 2 young bucks, probably 2 year olds. Their antlers are currently growing
and covered in felt. They tolerated me talking pictures of them as they ate leaves and grass.
I was probably 25 feet from them. They walked about another 20 feet from me
and I sat down, propped up against a tree. To my surprise they walked back close to me,
perhaps 12 feet from me and they both laid down near me. We spent about 20 minutes like
that with me taking pictures of them, before I got up and walked away. I always take it as a big
compliment, when a deer lays down near me. It says, I trust you. The defense of deer is their speed.
They can run very fast. However, they do not get up very quickly. So they won't lay down, unless they trust you at whatever distance you are from them.
Today as I arrived in that area, there were about 12 bucks. Older ones, yearlings and intermediate
aged ones. It was the largest gathering I've seen so far for this herd. While the older bucks ran away from me on previous days (my first experiences with the herd), none of them seemed all that nervous that I was there today. They were in the shade. Some were lying down. Again, I got good shots of them, and then I began to walk away from them. When I did, one of the bucks, perhaps one of the two who previously laid down near me on another day, started following me, as I walked away. He entered into the sunlight, so I stopped and then walked parallel to him to get on his sunnier side and take a couple of more shots of him. When I finally walked away, he had a look on his face, like he was disappointed, or confused, why was I leaving ?
Like humans, and other animals, they each have their own unique personalities and it can lead to friendships.
In the other 3 towns, it was always the matriarch of the herd that decided to accept me as part of the herd. And once the matriarch accepts you, the other deer in that herd will too.
Deer are like elephants in that the boss of the herd is the matriarch. However, in this local herd, it may be different. Perhaps the matriarch got hit by a car recently ?? I haven't seen a matriarch yet in this herd. There are some young does, but no older wiser matriarch, that I've seen. No boss of the herd.
Perhaps they feel a bit lost without one.
