Under what authority is Abbott shipping HUMAN BEINGS around America like they are props?

I hope the Hispanic voters in Texas and around America are paying attention to what
the Republicans are doing to them and what they think about them.

Good God in Butter does this shit piss me off. And they claim to be Christians too.

Fat Bear Week

Fat Bear Week is back!

The annual competition hosted by Alaska's Katmai National Park has announced this year's contenders as it kicked off the event, meant to celebrate the brown bears as they pack on the pounds before winter hibernation.

The competition works by using a bracket format that pairs the bears against each other, giving online voters the opportunity to choose the Fat Bear Week 2022 winner over the course of several rounds.

The annual competition hosted by Alaska's Katmai National Park has announced this year's contenders as it kicked off the event, meant to celebrate the brown bears as they pack on the pounds before winter hibernation.

The competition works by using a bracket format that pairs the bears against each other, giving online voters the opportunity to choose the Fat Bear Week 2022 winner over the course of several rounds

"Fat Bear Week is a celebration of success and survival," Katmai National Park wrote on its website. "It is a way to celebrate the resilience, adaptability and strength of Katmai's brown bears."

Online voting will be open from October 5 - 11 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. AKDT.


"Over the course of the week, virtual visitors learn more about the lives and histories of individual bears while also gaining a greater understanding of Katmai's ecosystem," the park said.

The competition, which began in 2014, saw nearly 800,000 votes cast in 2021. It has continued to be a way for the park to celebrate its "healthy ecosystem."

According to the park, the bears' survival depends on eating a year's worth of food in six months.

Former Katmai National Park ranger Andrew LaValle told CBS News in 2018 that "a fat bear is a healthy bear, and it's something to celebrate."

Trump stole and sold our nation's top secrets. Trump sold or traded those secrets to our ....

.... nation's enemies aka Russia and Saudi Arabia (my guess)

He needs to be indicted*, picked up, and locked up ASAP as national security and flight risk.
God only knows how many of our world wide intelligence agents and contacts have been put
@ risk and or already killed. Trump had documents about our surveillance satellites in his closet
and that information has no doubt been passed on to Vlad/Russia including information about
satellites we have had or still have in geosynchronous orbit over Ukraine. Trump also took the
documents that had to do w/his links to Russia, the dirty 2016 election, and his work along with
others to overthrow our democracy so he could stay in power and avoid criminal and civil penalties
that he knew he was coming once he was out of the White House.

* Just pick one of the charges .... there are so many.

As I have written too many times America has had 3 people who have been convicted of espionage
@ the level which Trump might have been @ and they were the Rosenbergs (executed) and FBI
Agent Robert Hanssen who is doing 15 life terms in the Fed's super max prison in Florence, Colorado.

Lizzo Invited to Perform at James Madison's Home After Playing Crystal Flute

Source: Freedom Rock Radio Live Free - Rock Hard!

Lizzo playing James Madison‘s flute might have conservative pundits up in arms, but the folks repping the 4th president’s home couldn’t be happier and they’re urging her to make a house call ASAP.

A rep for James Madison’s Montpelier estate tells TMZ … Lizzo now has an open invitation to take a private tour of Madison’s well-preserved estate after she made history with the crystal instrument formerly owned by the prez.

snip

They hope something can be worked out with the Library of Congress to get the crystal flute — which dates back to 1813 — brought there for Lizzo’s set. The estate notes there’s no evidence JM ever played the instrument, so Lizzo could be the first to play Madison’s flute at Madison’s home. Iconic.

FYI — the historic Montpelier, located in Virginia, is a 2,650-acre estate … acting not only as a monument to the former president, but also as a museum of American history and a center for constitutional education.

Those white buildings I think were the slave quarters.
