Only upside of suddenly being unemployed is getting to have coffee outside with this guy ❤️ #dogs #needajob
Beautiful black 50% bloodhound, 29% poodle, equal parts golden and lab, laying on concrete with a big stick between his front legs. Murphy has silver between his eyes and on his muzzle, at to tops of his legs, and around the edges of his long ears that hang low on his head. His tongue is perfectly pink, sticking out and curled up. Sunlight is coming through the tree branches and shining on his forehead and front legs. He is perfection.

Much needed break from all the madness And this show did the trick. I first saw Brandi Carlile in 2005 before her first album dropped, I’d never heard of her but, it was obv then that she was headed for greatness.

A new CNN investigation is now showing that what we’re being told about what’s happening in Iran by Trump & Hegseth is not true. They’ve been hiding how almost all of our U.S Military sites in the MiddleEast have been badly damaged,& some destroyed by Iran costing us billions .

Only in America can one party control the White House, the Senate, the House of Representatives, win the popular vote, and hold the majority of governorships—and still blame the other party for everything wrong with the country.

When the commanding officer called the father to brag that he shot the man’s son in his chest, he told the father that he’d done it as a lesson to teach the villagers to behave themselves. Imagine!!! The Israelis steal life, steal bodies, steal childhoods…They have still not, until the moment of posting, returned this boy’s body. This is the story of every Palestinian. The complete denial of human rights and dignity.

So basically Trump’s argument is that he only bothered talking about how much he supposedly wanted peace and performed substance-free publicity stunts to win a prize, but since that didn’t fool anyone he’s not going to bother with that charade anymore and will just invade Europe.

NEW President Clinton’s office is demanding the DOJ release all photos of him from the Epstein files along with any documents that mention him. Statement from his Press Secretary:
"The Epstein Files Transparency Act imposes a clear legal duty on the U.S. Department of Justice to produce the full and complete record the public demands and deserves.
However, what the Department of Justice has released so far, and the manner in which it did so, makes one thing clear: someone or something is being protected. We do not know whom, what or why. But we do know this:
We need no such protection.
Accordingly, we call on President Trump to direct Attorney General Bondi to immediately release any remaining materials referring to, mentioning, or containing a photograph of Bill Clinton.
This includes, without limitation, any records that may exist and are subject to disclosure under the Act (Public Law 119-38 enacted Nov. 19, 2025), including grand jury transcripts, interview notes, photographs, and findings by the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York (as referenced under oath to Congress by President Trump's first-term Attorney General).
Refusal to do so will confirm the widespread suspicion the Department of Justice's actions to date are not about transparency, but about insinuation — using selective releases to imply wrongdoing about individuals who have already been repeatedly cleared by the very same Department of Justice, over many years, under Presidents and Attorneys General of both parties."
