Wife has finished her #Crochet Projekt. The wreath is made of wood, the rest is wool. It looks pretty cool!
A close-up of a charming hand-crocheted wreath bursting with autumn warmth. Crocheted orange slices in bright shades of yellow and orange sit alongside brown cinnamon sticks tied neatly with a white ribbon, while green leaves and plump red berries fill the gaps between them. The decorations are attached to a light-colored grapevine base, giving the piece a natural, rustic texture. Every element is lovingly handmade, with the vibrant yarn colors evoking the cozy scents and hues of fall and winter — oranges, spice, and berries gathered in one decorative circle ready to welcome the season.

Or, as the Times' report put it, "one of the most dominant and long-running lines of attack against her" is that Collins "only defies the president when it doesn't matter." www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

Pressed on her work with Trump, Maine’s Collins trips over key part of her record
Presented with the opportunity and the platform, the longtime Republican senator flubbed it, effectively proving her critics right.

In October 2024, The WSJ reported Musk maintained regular contact with Putin and senior Kremlin official Sergei Kiriyenko. US senators raised national security concerns over these contacts, particularly given Musk’s security clearance and SpaceX’s multibillion-dollar Pentagon contracts.
