#Autumn view from atop Mount Oberg on the #NorthShore of Lake Superior in Minnesota near Tofte. A plein air pallete of brilliant colors.

Peak #Autumn colors on the #NorthShore of Lake Superior in #Minnesota. View from atop little Mount Oberg near Tofte looking North over Lake Oberg. Site has a loop trail around the forested peak with 8 outlooks on rock faces and ledges including a broad view of Lake Superior.
Postcard landscape of a long scenic view of an autumn forest with green, yellow, orange, and red colors rolling across hills, and a small lake reflecting a blue sky with some small puffy clouds on a sunny day.

Watched the sun rise over Lake Superior from Tofte Minnesota on North Shore of Lake Superior this morning. Thanks Canada to the East for sharing the waters and Sun! For generations there was no map to divide the land and people. Still, Superior shares beauty and tasty fish for all. May we keep it…

USA is no model for a civilized nation. We are a model for 21st Century Barbarism with states and Supreme Court allowing tortured executions. While inept in practicing their Evil, they plod on, paving a way to some Hell on Earth. Let Christa Pike live out her life in jail, the moral high road.

Trump White House misspells “United” on the official “super intelligence” document with AI executives. Instead of “President of the United States,” it reads: “President of the Unites States.” Nothing says “super intelligence” quite like misspelling the name of the country.
Screenshot of a Truth Social post from Donald J. Trump’s verified @realDonaldTrump account displaying a signed document titled “Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities.” The document outlines voluntary AI safety and oversight commitments for companies developing frontier artificial intelligence models. On the right side are signatures and company labels for leaders including Sundar Pichai of Google, Dario Amodei of Anthropic, Mark Zuckerberg of Meta, Greg Brockman of OpenAI, Elon Musk of xAI, and Jensen Huang of Nvidia. Near the center-right, Donald J. Trump’s large signature appears above the printed title identifying him as president. The title contains a noticeable typo: instead of “President of the United States,” it reads, “President of the Unites States,” misspelling “United” as “Unites.”

No longer Royal, but expecting Royal treatment, and who pays for it? So symptomatic of the fatal flaw of elitism in human culture. Look at all the historical damage and current global crises in the wake of such egomaniacs. And they want us to pay their way to take what they want!

The President bungled this war in Iran right from the beginning. Six months later, he's stuck, families are suffering, and 18 Americans are dead. November is our chance to send a message to him, and everyone around him, that they're doing a horrible job.

Oman is America's oldest and most consistent ally in the Persian Gulf. From the 18th century to the 21st, Oman has always be there to help American sailors and support American initiatives. Now Trump says he plans to "bomb the s**t out of Oman." Trump does not understand friendship or loyalty.
