I don't think they did find physicians who have abandoned their ethics - I think they are just flat out lying about what the doctors are saying. I mean,we know there are liars in every profession. But at Walter Reed? Highly unlikely. trump and his minions are the ones who are lying. Period.
The reason I know is because Bill Murray grew up in Chicago across the street from a (very funny, herself) patient of mine, and had recently moved to the Charleston area. He is part owner of the local baseball team, The Charleston Riverdogs. He told her that if he just had three more sons, he could have his own baseball team. That's the only reason I know how many players are on a team.
Actually the team of doctors is the size of a football team that two platoons --eleven on offense , eleven more on defense . The doctors nobody even knows about are the special teams . Who was the doctor he called first when he was admitted for Covid in his first term ? Oh yeah , it was Fauci .
They might want to think about the potential liabilities here. What part of this bag does Congress hold? Are they actively covering up problems that can interfere with his duties? Are they knowingly placing Trump in positions that he cannot handle?? In positions where he will hurt or kill people? It isn't as far fetched as one might like to think. I believe the thinking process about things is a part that is missing, getting shortchanged.
The morons he hired to deal with the algae poured hydrogen peroxide in the pool. A high enough concentration of the stuff strips paint, and obviously, “100-year industrial coating.”
On The Bulwark yesterday, Retired Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling commented that Trump's and Bibi's idiotic war handed Iran "an economic nuke" with permanent control of the Strait of Hormuz.
Bee houses are a good thing. Nesting Bees are great pollinators. Now would be a good time to get one in honor of your loving sweet wife. So sorry for your loss.
Jeff, you missed this little story. Elon cashed in this week on his $270 million election tampering project to get Donny elected. One quarter of one $Billion to buy control of our government. Directs Donny and Congress to grant his companies Billions in contracts, paid for by American citizens. Then he leverages these ill gotten contracts into $1 Trillion in his pocket. 0.27 of one Billion becomes 1,000 Billions! In three years. Nice return on investment!
I suspect, based on the look she always had in her eye, that she was The Brains Of The Gang. It's not that I don't admire Jeff, but he was in good hands.
I think we should stop Trump from posting while "negotiations" are going on. Perhaps put him in his flying Qatari bordello and fly him around until they are over. Of course, it would not be safe given that it would make an excellent target for an Iranian drone.
Meanwhile, Jessie Waters can eat the pickles in his pickle cake and think about what he could be doing if they were penises instead.
Just a point of order, but Joe Biden left office on January 20, 2025 at 12 noon Eastern Standard Time. So he’s been out of office just 17 months, not more than two years. It just feels like it has been longer. Hell, it feels like it’s been a decade with the all of the shit that has been showered down on We the People.
I will have to alert my niece, who is a pilot for a major airline, about Trump’s insane idea about pilots asking for raises mid-flight. I am quite certain it is something she’s never considered, so I’m sure she’ll be intrigued.🙄
Husbands shouldn't go to the supermarket with their wives? That's going to come as a surprise to my son-in-law. Where does Watters get these crazy ideas? Is he a member of the Male Insecurity of the Month club?
My husband and I do most things as a team but I thank him for not going grocery shopping at all. We end up with twice the ice cream and half the veggies if he's with me. These statements about what men should and shouldn't do are the height of male insecurity and make Jesse Waters even more detestable, if that's possible.
Do some math. I turn 70 this year, my dad (RIP a long time ago) did ALL the grocery shopping. Right down there at one of the flagship Publix's. Back when dinosaurs ruled the earth.
I thought for a very long time that grocery shopping was Man's Work. Dad was so particular about picking out stuff like the meat that Mom just let him own it before I was born.
Anyone who keeps questioning his sexuality is gay, and he’s in denial. I agree. He would be slightly better if he just embraced his gayness. Like tRump.
Yeah--poor Jesse is terrified that he'll slip and accidentally out himself. What if straight people avoid fudge because it's gay? (Wait--do gays prefer that dessert, or does the dessert itself have a sexual orientation? What if there's trans-fudge????????) What if visiting fudge candy shops is a secret sign amongst the LGBTQ+ culture? Oh, no!!
Jesse must no sleep very well, worrying about all these super important issues.
It so happens that in the place we always shop, the chip aisle is the first one inside the store. Impossible to escape it. Veggies are at the very back. Obviously, the store owner knows what he's doing.
EXACTLY the same thinking! Now, call me sexist, but it seems to me that the rationale must be to appeal to men, because I don't think all that many women feel the need for an extra-large big screen TV.
I think Jesse is attempting an unfunny joke with a nod to the homophobic slur "fudge-packer," which is really offensive and ugly, but this is par for the course for Fox "News" hosts. He obviously can't come out and say the slur on account of probable FCC violations, but it's not beneath him to hint at it in what he thinks is a clever fashion. Barf.
This almost tops Jesse's election insanity: "To be a man and vote for a woman just because she's a woman is either childish—that person has mommy issues—or they are just trying to be accepted by other women ... I heard the scientists say the other day that when a man votes for a woman, he actually transitions into a woman."
Watters acts so stupidly homophobic that I can't help but wonder if he's closeted...and since when don't couples go grocery shopping together? News to us and we've been doing it for almost 50 years. How else could we get all the groceries into the house in one trip?
Well, if you bought a bee house AND a birdhouse you could put them next to each other and figure out what the birds and the bees are all about. Just saying.
I like how succinct, concise, and unambiguous Claudia's reply was. Eliminates the universal husband error of "sorry honey, but I didn't understand what you meant."
Yes, and they hover in front of you, so you can have a pretend conversation. Very likeable. I just keep trying to lure them to another drilling site, not our porch rail. I need a cedar 2x4 I guess. They didn’t go for the pine 💁🏻.
I've never been stung by a honey bee or bumble bee, despite doing outdoor landscaping for decades. They don't have the badditude common to wasps and hornets - just want to be left alone to do their jobs!
I was stung by a bumblebee once when I was a child, but only because I, was barefoot at the time, stepped on him. Can’t blame him for that. I also was stung repeatedly in the armpit by a yellow jacket. But honeybees have always left me alone, bless them.
Me, too. I used to run barefoot in clover as a small child and was stung by honeybees AND a bumblebee (at different times). It hurt like hell. Eventually I put on shoes....
I hear it depends on what you smell like. I can remember only one bee sting in my entire life when my sister disturbed a nest nearby. I too have spent many a day in the outdoors.
We had 50 beehives each with over 10,000 individuals that souvenir pictured is something that hornets will claim and own in two days, a honey bee wouldn’t think of going there. Bees are extremely fussy, they could hang off your car bumper overnight one but they want symmetry 6 sided cells not to mention the entrance hole. See it’s locusts for that house.
One of my first trips with my former wife was to Misquamiquit(D'OH!,no spellcheck is going to fix that) Beach and The Windjammer or thereabouts Uncle Jeff,thx for the memories,and I do believe my daughter also made her first acquaintance with Long Island Sound there also when she was a little tot.
Hornets seem to be almost OBSESSIVELY attracted to our second floor south-facing window, in what used to be our son's bedroom. Starting in early spring, & throughout most of the summer, they find a way in there & start building multiple nests.
Oddly enough, I'm the only one w/ enough guts to grab a can of Raid Hot Shot, Crack the windows open enough to get the can in there, blast the shit out of the nests, & slam the windows shut before getting stung. Rinse & repeat, once every damned wk, until the weather gets cold.....SINCE *1985*.
When they finally fall down into the inside of the window sill, I've been seen by my husband & son, standing there, screaming, "DIE, YOU SONS OF BITCHES!!"
A long time ago, a friend told me to hang a crumpled brown grocery bag near where they want to build a nest. It looks goofy, everyone asks me, “what the fuck?”, but it works like a charm. Go figure.🤷🏻♀️
I know it looks ridiculous, but it works. Also, painting under the eaves blue (also painted the front porch ceiling blue). They think it’s the sky. Idk if they think other wasps already built their nest there, or what, but it also keeps wood-boring bees from making holes in the house in that spot.
I wonder if that’s the real reason we Southerners are supposed to paint the ceilings of our porches “haint blue”? I was told it was for the superstitious reason of keeping “haints” (ghosts) away, but now I’m thinking….
The brown paper sacks work great here (Houston area) for the wasps... 3 or 4 varieties ... but NOT for the hornets - also 3 or 4 varieties. Wonder why?
Our house is made of redwood. It doesn't hold paint, so we had to completely repaint every 2-3 yrs, for about 30 yrs, before we gave up & got siding. Before that, though, we also had a problem w/ bees putting holes in one spot next to the chimney.
Once we got rid of them, what do you think happened next? WOODPECKERS! 🤣
We actually need bee houses for our vanishing bumblebees! They are valuable pollinators and their numbers are plummeting due to competition from non-native honeybees, pesticides and habitat loss.
Gardening is my hobby, so I never spray anything except for water with a few drops of detergent in it, to make the whiteflies and the aphids fuck right off to Ft Fuck Fuckistan.
Accepting that 747, which he can’t be allowed to keep, and then spending a fortune to improve it to AF One standards, are both crimes for which he would be convicted in a working, Constitutionally constructed democracy.
Do you think my senator, who took Russian money laundered through the NRA via a spy who is currently serving in Russia's Duma, traveled to Moscow on July 4th at Putin's demand and came back saying he didn't think Russia interfered in the election, voted his LLC a huge tax cute, lives in Florida most of the year, and participated in the treasonous False Elector Coup gives a shit about ethics? (Russian Ron Johnson, the white candidate in the last senatorial election in WI.)
Is anyone checking to see if the Venezuelan oil millions Trump stole and parked in Qatar is being used to refurbish and pay for the Flying Bordello? His superpower is using "other people's money" on doomed-to-fail projects.

😂😆😂😆😂Former Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino's nascent 2028 presidential campaign suffered a blow when Jacob Engels, a controversial figure tasked with launching the candidate's online presence, was arrested at a budget motel and charged with felony methamphetamine possession.

I don’t know how we’d handle the end of fatfuck’s presence in our political life, but… I guess it couldn’t hardly be no worser. And the Christofascists and the overlords and the vile cabinet that somehow made it through confirmation. Ain’t gonna be easy, but we shall see it through. What choice do we have?

I've been reading a ton of fantasy novels inspired by fairytales and Native American mythology. Even there, the evil bad guys remind me of trump. He's literally (ha!) the poster-boy for archetypal evil. There's no escape.
I highly recommend the series written by the late Tony Hillerman (and continued, I believe, by his daughter Anne): detective fiction set in the southwest and incorporating indigenous cultural themes.
You should give William Kent Krueger a try. His series is set in the Boundary Waters area and focuses on the Anishkinobi Ojibwe tribes. The scenery is almost a main character! I like Hillerman, and also Craig Johnson, but WKK is the most talented author I've read in the genre. Main character of his series is Cork O'Connor - a half Irish/half 'Shinnob' lawman/private eye.

Jeff, Let's call it plainly.
Raskin is demanding that all of Orange Shitler's Medications and Doctors Panel be revealed.
Because it taking a doctors panel the size of a baseball team to certify that the president is healthy is in a manner.....fucking bullshit.

No, Wendy. TWO baseball teams + 4 backup players.
I'm surprised that he and his stooges can find that many physicians who have completely abandoned their professional ethics
No shortage of amoral reprobates in MAGA universe.
I'm not. I'd like to see the size of those bribes!
Benzes, Bimmers, and yachts, oh my!
And laundered crypto currency.
I don't think they did find physicians who have abandoned their ethics - I think they are just flat out lying about what the doctors are saying. I mean,we know there are liars in every profession. But at Walter Reed? Highly unlikely. trump and his minions are the ones who are lying. Period.
They only use doctors who will sign a non disclosure agreement.
I agree with you 100%.
Oh, don't be surprised. There are 1,000's of plastic surgeons who swear that that their patients look 20 years younger after surgery.
And their patients all hang out at Hawk-a-Loogie.
FOTF!!!

I love your Claudia picture with all the shades of blue. Such a lovely lady.
I particularly liked her answer to the bee house question.
Me too! 😂😂
I am not at all terribly familiar with sports ball, this is why I "assume".
Apologies.
The reason I know is because Bill Murray grew up in Chicago across the street from a (very funny, herself) patient of mine, and had recently moved to the Charleston area. He is part owner of the local baseball team, The Charleston Riverdogs. He told her that if he just had three more sons, he could have his own baseball team. That's the only reason I know how many players are on a team.
Well, a pro team has 40 on the roster. But 22 is enough to field two teams, each with a couple of relief pitchers.
Actually the team of doctors is the size of a football team that two platoons --eleven on offense , eleven more on defense . The doctors nobody even knows about are the special teams . Who was the doctor he called first when he was admitted for Covid in his first term ? Oh yeah , it was Fauci .
🥱 sure launch an investigation that’ll do it
I’d prefer a strongly-worded letter. Where’s Chuck?
I mean wouldn’t we ALL 😏🙄
These threats must have him really worried and stuff like that there and stuff.

We can sue him for running the country with dementia, and then all his medications have to be revealed in the disclosure.

You wonder when his senate enablers are going to STOP BACKING HIM UP‼️
Never is the infuriating answer.
They might want to think about the potential liabilities here. What part of this bag does Congress hold? Are they actively covering up problems that can interfere with his duties? Are they knowingly placing Trump in positions that he cannot handle?? In positions where he will hurt or kill people? It isn't as far fetched as one might like to think. I believe the thinking process about things is a part that is missing, getting shortchanged.

Pretty soon there’s going to be a need for fractions of a scaramucci. Maybe there’s 10 Tiedrichs to 1 scaramucci. What do you think?
Why did they close it again?
Egregious dumbfuckery.
I think we should stop Trump from posting while "negotiations" are going on. Perhaps put him in his flying Qatari bordello and fly him around until they are over. Of course, it would not be safe given that it would make an excellent target for an Iranian drone.

Husbands shouldn't go to the supermarket with their wives? That's going to come as a surprise to my son-in-law. Where does Watters get these crazy ideas? Is he a member of the Male Insecurity of the Month club?
How about husbands go to the supermarket by themselves? My husbands does all the grocery shopping thank god.
My husband and I do most things as a team but I thank him for not going grocery shopping at all. We end up with twice the ice cream and half the veggies if he's with me. These statements about what men should and shouldn't do are the height of male insecurity and make Jesse Waters even more detestable, if that's possible.
My husband HAS to do all the grocery shopping. We can't fit all the groceries in the car, if we have to wedge them in around my wheelchair.
Do some math. I turn 70 this year, my dad (RIP a long time ago) did ALL the grocery shopping. Right down there at one of the flagship Publix's. Back when dinosaurs ruled the earth.
I thought for a very long time that grocery shopping was Man's Work. Dad was so particular about picking out stuff like the meat that Mom just let him own it before I was born.
My daughter doesn't trust him. He forgets which things he tried and didn't like. :)
They're actually quite good as a team.
My husband does at least 85% of the grocery shopping. He rocks!
Jesse would be much happier if he embraced his gayness
He and Lindsey need to form a support group
Pickle cake sounds pretty gay to me....just sayʻin.
Gay men would kick him to the curb.
Maybe when he hits 80 years old, like Trump.
Anyone who keeps questioning his sexuality is gay, and he’s in denial. I agree. He would be slightly better if he just embraced his gayness. Like tRump.
Watters is the lightweight equivalent of a human National Enquirer
He's the human embodiment of a pickle cake.
With a bit of Weekly World News
"Amelia Earhart's missing plane found intact in a garage in Sausalito!"
"Boy Trapped in Refrigerator Eats Own Foot to Survive"
I think I actually saw that one once
Maybe he IS Batboy.
Batboy's in Congress. I saw the headline once.

As a long time closeted gay man, his head is spinning with notions of what gay is!
Yeah--poor Jesse is terrified that he'll slip and accidentally out himself. What if straight people avoid fudge because it's gay? (Wait--do gays prefer that dessert, or does the dessert itself have a sexual orientation? What if there's trans-fudge????????) What if visiting fudge candy shops is a secret sign amongst the LGBTQ+ culture? Oh, no!!
Jesse must no sleep very well, worrying about all these super important issues.
Is Jesse Waters or Gaynas’ grocery shoppin’ husband a closeted gay man? I’m so confused.
Ha! DEF Jesse!
Groceries - that's an old-fashioned word. Most people don;t know that. And that it has a "b" on the end.
My husband HAS to come with me---it's the only way he'd get his junk food, 'cause I'd never buy it.
In guys' experiences, those dang shopping carts always steer toward the chip aisle
It so happens that in the place we always shop, the chip aisle is the first one inside the store. Impossible to escape it. Veggies are at the very back. Obviously, the store owner knows what he's doing.
Like how Costco has all the big screen TVs right inside the entrance
I went to Costco to get a rotisserie chicken, but came home with a Samsung 83" OLED TV 🤷
EXACTLY the same thinking! Now, call me sexist, but it seems to me that the rationale must be to appeal to men, because I don't think all that many women feel the need for an extra-large big screen TV.
Yep!
Or the beer aisle
Idk. The ones here steer toward baked goods and ice cream when my honey is driving . . .
Or by the looks of it, the hardware store, Jeff woulda brought home a bee house if he had not asked Ms. Spouse. Funny shit!!!
He's got to be a closet gay. Or, perhaps, just a bitter involuntary celibate. Don't homophobes call gay men 'fudge packers'?
I'd put the Twinkies and Devil Dogs on the shopping list for kid and I....wife wouldn't get them.
My husband and/or kids would add helpful things to my shopping list like butt scratchers. The list is on my phone now. 😁
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
One should reply to him, "you mean you allow your wife to spend money without your supervision?" That would make his explode.
Yeah, shocked he’s not worried some other creep will slash his wife’s tires.
Brilliant!
No no no. Watters is just asking questions. His question was "what kind of husband...?".
Thanks for asking, Jesse. The answer is: a supportive one that loves his wife and understands the importance of Together Time. Dumbass.
Hannity is such a piece of shit, that honestly, Ann, it's time for that motherfucker to retire. I mean he's been done for a while.
I thought he'd moved to Costa Rica that he promised to do when Obama was running the first time.
The “fudge is gay“ stuff is just indescribably idiotic. And what on earth is pickle cake???🤮
I think Jesse is attempting an unfunny joke with a nod to the homophobic slur "fudge-packer," which is really offensive and ugly, but this is par for the course for Fox "News" hosts. He obviously can't come out and say the slur on account of probable FCC violations, but it's not beneath him to hint at it in what he thinks is a clever fashion. Barf.
"Barf" is very on point. Watters himself makes me want to barf, let alone his stupid tasteless slurjokes against "the gay".
🤮
Apparently it's a thing. Hard pass from me tho
https://www.mtolivepickles.com/recipe-items/pickle-birthday-cake/
I love dill pickles. I also love cake. However.....this is an abomination. A waste of both.
This almost tops Jesse's election insanity: "To be a man and vote for a woman just because she's a woman is either childish—that person has mommy issues—or they are just trying to be accepted by other women ... I heard the scientists say the other day that when a man votes for a woman, he actually transitions into a woman."
😳
🤮
I’ll stick to French’s mustard birthday cake.
Watters acts so stupidly homophobic that I can't help but wonder if he's closeted...and since when don't couples go grocery shopping together? News to us and we've been doing it for almost 50 years. How else could we get all the groceries into the house in one trip?
Stop wondering. I think you cracked the code.
🤣😂🤣
🤣😂🤣
😂 now I look forward to the Daily Claudia! And oddly enough, I want a Bee House. 🧐✌️😉
seeing that old screen shot made me want one, too
Well, if you bought a bee house AND a birdhouse you could put them next to each other and figure out what the birds and the bees are all about. Just saying.
I think their daughter Katie is proof they achieved some rich experience in those subject areas

I like how succinct, concise, and unambiguous Claudia's reply was. Eliminates the universal husband error of "sorry honey, but I didn't understand what you meant."
At least she didn't say, "More crazy shit from YOU!"
I wonder what Ms Spouse would think of all the prospective Claudia Memorial Bee Houses
"Fuck no"?
AKA “No one ever listens to a word I say!”
haha
HA!
I truly loved her response. No equivocation, none at all.
(😃😁)
I’m in! Now, I’m getting one. 😀
A Bee House is going to be of my first purchases when I'm back in the States. And one of my first pleasures each day is the Daily Claudia.
You should get one. It’s for Mason bees that are the earliest pollinators to emerge in the spring and they are non-stinging.
Bees are critical to life on earth, and they need all the support they can get. We should all have bee houses.
Yes, and they hover in front of you, so you can have a pretend conversation. Very likeable. I just keep trying to lure them to another drilling site, not our porch rail. I need a cedar 2x4 I guess. They didn’t go for the pine 💁🏻.
Never too late. They're our friends even if they sting the shit out of us.
I've never been stung by a honey bee or bumble bee, despite doing outdoor landscaping for decades. They don't have the badditude common to wasps and hornets - just want to be left alone to do their jobs!
I was stung by a bumblebee once when I was a child, but only because I, was barefoot at the time, stepped on him. Can’t blame him for that. I also was stung repeatedly in the armpit by a yellow jacket. But honeybees have always left me alone, bless them.
Me, too. I used to run barefoot in clover as a small child and was stung by honeybees AND a bumblebee (at different times). It hurt like hell. Eventually I put on shoes....
Same here. I still prefer barefoot, though. 😊
That's the only bee sting I ever got too! They buzz around me constantly as I garden and I'm glad for the company.
I hear it depends on what you smell like. I can remember only one bee sting in my entire life when my sister disturbed a nest nearby. I too have spent many a day in the outdoors.
We must not stink good enough. Works for me!
We had 50 beehives each with over 10,000 individuals that souvenir pictured is something that hornets will claim and own in two days, a honey bee wouldn’t think of going there. Bees are extremely fussy, they could hang off your car bumper overnight one but they want symmetry 6 sided cells not to mention the entrance hole. See it’s locusts for that house.
Just remember the sage words of Romper Room, "Do bee a good bad and not bee a bad bee."
Sounds like a drinking game
My late great aunt's favorite joke: What kind of bee give milk? A boobie.
Yoinking!
I LOVE that she sent that succinct reply! <3
Mason and leafcutter bees would love you! (They are solitary cavity nesting bees) Bee good to pollinators!
One of my first trips with my former wife was to Misquamiquit(D'OH!,no spellcheck is going to fix that) Beach and The Windjammer or thereabouts Uncle Jeff,thx for the memories,and I do believe my daughter also made her first acquaintance with Long Island Sound there also when she was a little tot.
Fuck no!
A Bee House would be very cool. What you don't want is a Hornet House. Those guys are assholes.
Hornets seem to be almost OBSESSIVELY attracted to our second floor south-facing window, in what used to be our son's bedroom. Starting in early spring, & throughout most of the summer, they find a way in there & start building multiple nests.
Oddly enough, I'm the only one w/ enough guts to grab a can of Raid Hot Shot, Crack the windows open enough to get the can in there, blast the shit out of the nests, & slam the windows shut before getting stung. Rinse & repeat, once every damned wk, until the weather gets cold.....SINCE *1985*.
When they finally fall down into the inside of the window sill, I've been seen by my husband & son, standing there, screaming, "DIE, YOU SONS OF BITCHES!!"
Yeah, they think I'm nuts....🤣
A long time ago, a friend told me to hang a crumpled brown grocery bag near where they want to build a nest. It looks goofy, everyone asks me, “what the fuck?”, but it works like a charm. Go figure.🤷🏻♀️
Never heard THAT trick before! Definitely worth a shot....& cheaper than going through multiple cans of Hot Shot every season! 🤔
I know it looks ridiculous, but it works. Also, painting under the eaves blue (also painted the front porch ceiling blue). They think it’s the sky. Idk if they think other wasps already built their nest there, or what, but it also keeps wood-boring bees from making holes in the house in that spot.
I wonder if that’s the real reason we Southerners are supposed to paint the ceilings of our porches “haint blue”? I was told it was for the superstitious reason of keeping “haints” (ghosts) away, but now I’m thinking….
The brown paper sacks work great here (Houston area) for the wasps... 3 or 4 varieties ... but NOT for the hornets - also 3 or 4 varieties. Wonder why?
*the wood-boring bees. Lol!
Our house is made of redwood. It doesn't hold paint, so we had to completely repaint every 2-3 yrs, for about 30 yrs, before we gave up & got siding. Before that, though, we also had a problem w/ bees putting holes in one spot next to the chimney.
Once we got rid of them, what do you think happened next? WOODPECKERS! 🤣
It mimics a paper wasp nest and other hornets will stay away!
Nice! I'm going to try this.
Here in Europe they are strictly protected. Last summer we had one in the eaves right outside the bathroom window. We could not open the window!
Now that’s hysterical, because I would do the same thing🐝
A hornet house would be good on the new Flying Bordello!
I wonder if that's ever been done. Kind of a fun prank!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
We actually need bee houses for our vanishing bumblebees! They are valuable pollinators and their numbers are plummeting due to competition from non-native honeybees, pesticides and habitat loss.

Gardening is my hobby, so I never spray anything except for water with a few drops of detergent in it, to make the whiteflies and the aphids fuck right off to Ft Fuck Fuckistan.
We have TONS of bumblebees around our pond, that live in the tree next to my bedroom back window.
It's SO FUN to watch the babies flying around in the spring, & to watch them pause in front of the window, before zooming away.
As opposed to the hornets that're attracted to the window in my son's old bedroom, that I'm constantly fighting....I LOVE MY BUMBLEBEES!
They’re the golden retrievers of the bee world. I love when I see them curled up for beddie-bye in my flowers 🐝
I'm working on a polinator garden.
I do, too!
The more I see and hear about Claudia, the more I like her!
I have one, looks to be the same one as the picture, from Costco maybe 5 years ago. It's way fun. They hatch a couple of times a year. Mud bees.
I want one too! It's what my Backyard Habitat™ is missing. My question is, if I get one will they come? or do I need to buy the Mason bees too?
Wouldn't it have been nice if Shitler had boarded the plane and it took off and disappeared somewhere over the Bermuda Triangle.
If God exists there will be an aborted July 4 flyover that ends with a Captain Sully landing into the algae and peeling paint-laden Reflecting Pool
Ahhhh….dreams are what keep us going!
there's still hope. he's at Camp David for the weekend & there is NO press.
Fingers crossed 🤞
Accepting that 747, which he can’t be allowed to keep, and then spending a fortune to improve it to AF One standards, are both crimes for which he would be convicted in a working, Constitutionally constructed democracy.
Two very important words in dealing with Trump by the next administration: "civil forfeiture."
Do you think my senator, who took Russian money laundered through the NRA via a spy who is currently serving in Russia's Duma, traveled to Moscow on July 4th at Putin's demand and came back saying he didn't think Russia interfered in the election, voted his LLC a huge tax cute, lives in Florida most of the year, and participated in the treasonous False Elector Coup gives a shit about ethics? (Russian Ron Johnson, the white candidate in the last senatorial election in WI.)
Conservatives love Russia. Its fascist and all white. In fact very, very white and very fascist.
Is anyone checking to see if the Venezuelan oil millions Trump stole and parked in Qatar is being used to refurbish and pay for the Flying Bordello? His superpower is using "other people's money" on doomed-to-fail projects.
Did we just have the President of the Totally Fucked Up United States spend his Totally Fucked Up Mind on his Totally Fucked Up Social Media account talking about algae in the Totally Fucked Up Reflecting Pool?! We are living in Totally Fucked Up Times with a Totally Fucked Up President.
The fact that none of this shit lands on the front page of the NYT, WaPo, WJ, any other major newpaper shows that we do live in a facist regime.
Facism is discrimination on the basis of face
Dumocrats vandalizing algae into the Reflecting Pool? That damned Obama!
As if we dumocrats have nothing better to do 🙄
Ralph - say that again faster…🤭‼️
TOTALLY FUCKED UP
😂😆😂😆😂Former Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino's nascent 2028 presidential campaign suffered a blow when Jacob Engels, a controversial figure tasked with launching the candidate's online presence, was arrested at a budget motel and charged with felony methamphetamine possession.
Only the best for Greg the Clown.
The worst of the worst indeed😱
Engels? Sounds kinda commie.
Oh he's a beauty for sure. Search Jacob Engels Hudson WI and the story will come up.
nah...sounds Marxist.
Between Bovino and Vance is barely a slip of paper (and Vance’s fealty to the Thiel gang). I don’t know how we’d handle the end of fatfuck’s presence in our political life, but… I guess it couldn’t hardly be no worser. And the Christofascists and the overlords and the vile cabinet that somehow made it through confirmation. Ain’t gonna be easy, but we shall see it through. What choice do we have?
Only shitbag MAGAts could admire enormous historical shitbags like Hitler and now Vlad the Impaler.
Their demigod praised the "late, great Hannibal Lecter" numerous times in public. One clinical psychopath adoring another.
This Italian newspaper got it right. Lol
An Italian daily newspaper known as Libero Quotidiano issued a scathing attack toward President Donald Trump, calling him a "coglione," which translates to "idiot" in English
Don’t fuck with the women DonOld.
Today's column was hilarious! I LOL'd several times. Haven't LOL'd about anything in too long a while.
Indeed. It was a bumper crop week for stupid.
Feels good doesn’t it? Sometimes it can get messy tho- after taking a gulp of tea and 💥it’s all over the place!! But thank goodness we have Jeff…♥️
Jeff Tiedrich is responsible for more liquid-snorting-out-the-nose than anybody has ever seen.
And LOL yet AGAIN! Thanks Betsy!
LOL (again)! Thanks Diana!
Uh, sorry to differ in opinion, Jeff, but Google says Vlad mostly impaled his victims rectally. Damn.
what can I say? the janky six-fingered plagiarism robot gave us two different answers
Which is why all of this gushing over AI is either premature, more techbro greed hype, or both
“the janky six-fingered plagiarism robot”, again, is my favorite label for this fucked up AI/chgpt…. Bullshit. The bros know EXACTLY what they are doing!
"That's gotta hoit!" He's such a simpleton. Do you want Draculas around, half-pint? That's how you get them.
O. M. G.
Exactly. No one in their right mind would find anything about Vlad the Impaler admirable. Except a MAGAt
I'm guessing that the teacup Nazi thought that, maybe, he was being too subtle about his sado-masochistic fascist credo, so he had to give everyone a bigger clue: "Vlad the Impaler was totally cool! No immigrants, and the trains ran on time!"
Wonder if he feels as excited about Vlad the Invader who got more than a few drones up the ass from Zelensky last week.
Owww!
Doc, you're right - I didn't want to say anything because I like Jeff - but yes, he (or his minions) forced his victims down onto sharpened stakes through their rectums.
"Do we want a bee house?" 😂😂 Your response is priceless. HA! You guys had the best relationship.... what a smart and beautiful woman.
Is anyone else fighting over depression over all this... maybe yard work will take my mind off the genuinely traumatic state of the country. 🙄
I've gone back to reading voraciously. Anything that does not remind me of the Great Orange Brown Stain. Anybody else remember Tom Swift Jr.?
I've never been a soccer fan but the World Cup games in the US have been a gift with the positive energy other countries brought ." Europeans may not like our politics, but they really like our country — and us.
They were nervous about coming to the States for the men’s World Cup matches being held here. Nervous about Border Patrol, nervous about police, nervous about guns.
And they’re going home vowing to return as soon as they can. "
This from Teresa Hanafin at the Boston Globe google it for the whole article . The Scots partied so hard they recruited former NE Patriots Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman to join the Tartan Army .
We are not our government --we are better than that .
Kraft, according to a news feature I saw, is hastily producing "TSA-approved" packets of ranch dressing, as our FIFA guests are going bonkers over it as a souvenir.....
That’s very positive. Glad to hear that!!
If you Google the entire article -fastforward2016@substack.com , it really says a lot about positivity in our culture in spite of our federal government .
Thanks George. I need to read that!
You are welcome , young lady . USA is beautiful , dignified , intelligent country and we can't succumb to the negativity .
I've been reading a ton of fantasy novels inspired by fairytales and Native American mythology. Even there, the evil bad guys remind me of trump. He's literally (ha!) the poster-boy for archetypal evil. There's no escape.
I highly recommend the series written by the late Tony Hillerman (and continued, I believe, by his daughter Anne): detective fiction set in the southwest and incorporating indigenous cultural themes.
You should give William Kent Krueger a try. His series is set in the Boundary Waters area and focuses on the Anishkinobi Ojibwe tribes. The scenery is almost a main character! I like Hillerman, and also Craig Johnson, but WKK is the most talented author I've read in the genre. Main character of his series is Cork O'Connor - a half Irish/half 'Shinnob' lawman/private eye.
🤦♀️. Ranch dressing? Ugh.
I'm right there w/ ya! I'd rather eat a 1/2 lb of ANCHOVIES, than one spoonful of ranch! 🤮
Here in Missouri, it seems thats all anyone uses…ranch. 🤮 They even dip their French fries in it!!
Although, I did try it on a Beyond burger, and it wasn’t half bad. 💁🏻
🤢🤢🤢🤮
Watch Obama’s celebration it’s a mood lifter.
I watched it live on CSPAN. I was in TEARS during both Michelle & Barack's speeches. And, oh my....watching the entire family boogie down to ❤️ STEVIE!!! ❤️
yard work is my solution
tho that's only a couple hours per day

That’s good. Creative Visualization. I have my weed trimmer going!!

On certain days my blood pressure gets dangerously high, pumpkin head isn’t the only annoyance it’s a multitude of misc normal things that need your attention same as ever but I for one am dealing with cash flow too, it’s all stressful.
The Haberman- Swan book delivers Wednesday. The script for the war crimes trials at The Hague for all of these ratfucks.
Yes, that’s what I do, Susan. It’s the only thing that can yank my mind away from the insanity.
I enjoy your Daily Claudia. It reminds me of my parents' love for each other. So real and heartwarming, at least to me.

How much longer can this go on? I guess the answer is, "As long as they keep enabling him and propping him up." Couchy must be on pins and needles waiting for the day, which is why he's laundering his ass in public, trying to appear "moderate" as he pimps for white babies. Couchfucker, those Mexicans are your co-religionists.
I keep thinking of Lee Dorsey's 'Workin' in a Coal Mine.' "Lord, I am soooooo tired. How long can this go one?"
I'd like to see #Bumblefuck workin' in a coal mine.

His wife is brown. Hasn't he noticed that? He's such a phony suck-up.
He is, as HST said of Nixon, a rat in heat.
Mrs. Spouse was a very direct speaker. I admire that trait.
