May Great Spirit bless 🙏

Morning, everyone! Yep! It's another grey, gloomy, windy, cold day. A real puky 🫟 day. It's a good day to stay in and turn on all the LED lights and get busy occupying myself here at the keyboard.

Aaaah, this makes it all worth getting up in the morning, with a still steaming cup of fresh-brewed coffee in my hand. ☕️👌 Drained that one pretty quickly. Have you ever gotten really thirsty while drinking coffee? It evaporates 💨 out of the cup 💨🥣 How nice it is to have a stomach 🤰 that's behaving itself and allowing me the pleasure of at least enjoying a good coffee, thank you, Great Spirit 🎆 and I pray that soon my appetite returns.

It's hard to have an appetite when trying to eat with those contraptions they call dentures. I really didn't need this tooth 💩 problem on top of all the other problems I was recovering from at the time, which was just one more unnecessary kick in the butt that nearly killed me. I thought the old saying was: "Problems always come in threes." Well, in my case, I guess the driver of the calamity truck 🚍💥🚛🛑 failed to stop after the third stop sign.

That's enough about me. Thank you for reading.

TODAY'S DISCUSSION:

Racist video is merely the latest in a long line of Trump's ugly social media posts

The White House has belatedly backed down from a racist video shared on President Donald Trump’s social media feed after blowback from Republicans.

The video promoting false claims of voter fraud concluded with a brief clip of images of former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama’s heads affixed to the bodies of apes. After initially trying to defend the post and leaving it up for hours — even labeling the outrage “fake” — the White House eventually gave in to bipartisan backlash, removed it, and changed its tack.

Its new explanation: The video was “erroneously” posted by a staffer. Trump later Friday expanded on that, saying he had reviewed the first section of the video and passed it along to a staffer, who then failed to review the whole thing and catch the offensive content at the end...

Sadly, this Orange Feces Bag made racism legal again, just like the wonderful little dictator 👃🥔 he is. May he come down with a dose of 'Feces-eating Worms,' 💩👺🪱 you know, the ones that come complete with fangs.

Meanwhile, back at the Ranch, the Hatfields and the McCoys are still taking potshots. I know because that was when my hossie, Whistle Butt, got shot in the backside. Now you know why I call her Whistle Butt; her butt whistles in the wind. 🐎💨

Actually, it began with the Northern Native Americans, who encountered the first French colonists, the "Oui-Oui!" people, which sounded like they were saying"wee-wee," like in urinating. Oui in French means Yes.

I guess that means, Injun beware of frogs, horses, especially with bullet holes in their butts, and stay away from Oui-Oui people's shootouts at the OK Corral, and don't go to the saloon unless you intend to take the job of the wooden cigar-holding Injun standing next to the batwing doors.

It's much safer to go to Sally's Saloon in South Saskatchewan on the plains in my Surrey on an early Sunny Sunrise on a Summer Saturday. Well, the denturist told me to practice making the "S" sound a lot. 😅

And then we have Black people who become slaves again. Work camps like the Nazi had? They already exist. When will the gas chambers arrive? This is what The Orange Pus Bag wants, and to establish the law of one unto the Orange Insane Jabba the Hutt Regime for eternity 🔘<- BIG PERIOD THAT'S IT! I do not believe that for one moment anyone can stanch or stop the process of evolution.

'Remember,' we are only seeing what's on the surface right now because that's who is in power, the flotsom on top of the water in a full 45-gallon rain barrel. The water in the barrel makes up for most of humanity on the planet, who are sane, just lost at the moment.

‘I am so afraid of these policemen’: How an Alabama police force spiraled out of control

HANCEVILLE, Alabama

—

There’s a fog rolling through Hanceville.

It seeps out at night from the fields and the creeks, dancing in headlights after dark. It floats over the banks of the Black Warrior River, which snakes through the state but withers and dies north of town. It drifts towards the hills of the Tennessee Valley, which unfurls across the South but stops just shy of this neck of the woods. It settles in at this time of year, thick enough to hide one neighbor from the next.

But Evelyn remembers brighter days. She used to carry lemonade to Hanceville’s police officers when the Alabama sun hung white-hot overhead, Evelyn tells CNN. She’d take cookies each Thanksgiving – peanut butter and fudge, she says, a recipe perfected through the years. She’s the proud daughter of a cop: she says her father policed Birmingham during the civil rights protests of the 1960s...

And that’s how Evelyn thought her story would end: a terrifying personal ordeal, filed away among all the private injustices, big and small, that populate every street in every town in the country.

Hanceville, home to around 3,000 people, is now the unlikely site of a bold experiment in American policing.

CANADIAN NEWS:

Will Canada's new auto strategy put as many EVs on the road as Carney says?

Climate experts say emission rules still need to be worked out — and automakers hold much power

Despite widespread approval from provinces and auto manufacturers, Prime Minister Mark Carney's auto plan might not accelerate the transition to electric vehicles as fast as he says.

On Thursday, Carney ended Canada's electric vehicle mandate, resumed purchase incentives and said higher standards for fuel efficiency were coming. Ontario and Alberta's premiers said they were both "pleased" and car manufacturers said the move provided "welcome policy stability." Carney says his government expects EVs to hit 75 per cent of new car purchases in 2035 without a sales mandate. Some climate change experts not only doubt this — but say the new strategy undermines Canada's climate goals.

Warming temperatures are shrinking snowpack in key Canadian watersheds, a study suggests

This year’s record-low snowpack in the West is a preview of things to come

A record-breaking snow drought in the western U.S. is raising concerns about water scarcity and wildfires next summer. A new Canadian study suggests the conditions could signal a longer-term trend that threatens water supplies for millions across the country.

Snow cover in the western U.S. is well below what it normally is at this time of year, and the lowest ever recorded since NASA’s Terra satellite began monitoring in 2001. A warming climate is likely making this more common. The snow deposited in winter on parts of western Canada, and the water contained in that snow, declined from 2000 to 2019, according to the study from researchers at Concordia University in Montreal...

.What’s happening this year with the snow?

.Will these trends continue?
