With everything so seemingly terrible these days & no sign of anything remotely hopeful in the near future, I thought you might need this photo of a baby giraffe.

A special thank you to Mexico and Canada who sent air tankers, firefighters, and technicians to help with the LA fires. That's how you "neighbor", jumping in with aid when needed. 🥰

We need a zillion normal people to run for Congress and they can raise money via Go Fund Me if need be. I can’t run because I’ve been compromised by UFOs & ghost robots from the future but we need a shit ton of normal regular people to run & get rid of our permanent class of the same old oldies.

President Jimmy Carter has passed away at the age of 100. He was a symbol of what is best about America: kindness, compassion, duty and service. He will be missed, most of all by those who long for a return of that kind of country, led by a man with such strength of character.
