I've basically stopped sharing political messages, but at the risk of destroying my German Shepherd posts following, today I feel compelled to say something about yesterday's results..... In 2020 the Dems took power by shutting down the world economy in order to steal the POTUS election. This is my word... and, as such, is beyond contestation. Once in power, their ideas were so antithetical of American values and beliefs that the 2024 reelection of Trump was 'too big to rig'. If they tried to install Harris in 2024, there would have been a 'hot' civil war. The Ministry of Truth rewrote the Bios of every Democrat that ran in 2026. Anything that might make the Party's candidate unelectable, went down the memory hole. What the Party said last week to get their apparatchiks into office will also be memory holed as soon as they place their hand on ' the 5th and final holy book.' They will vote in lock-step with The Party. Newspeak shrinks the language a little more each year. If the MAGA movement no longer exists, America First gets harder to even think about. A telescreen sits in every room, and it watches back. Children turn in their own parents to the Thought Police. Every day there is a Two Minutes Hate, so everybody practices being angry at the right. And why do they do all this? The Party says it plainly: "The object of power is power." That's the whole plan! The Party doesn't even pretend to have fair elections, otherwise The SAVE Act would be current law. The inner circle picks its own replacements. When the US holds an election, the Party rigs it so completely that a Russian election looks believable!

Nobody warns you about the first year with a German Shepherd puppy. You hear they're smart. You hear they're loyal. Nobody mentions that it takes them at least a couple of years to grow into a regal German Shepherd. There's one German Shepherd in here I'd be very curious to hear explain himself!

National Dog Day was yesterday and apparently somebody forgot to make the required post. That Malinois stare says the settlement negotiations have already begun. I’m thinking steak is just the opening demand.

America turned 250 tonight. From the biggest cities to the smallest hometowns, fireworks lit up the sky. Then Mother Nature joined the celebration, sending flashes of lightning through the same clouds. It felt like the whole country had something to say. Maybe it's just coincidence. Maybe it's symbolism. Either way, seeing small-town celebrations under skies filled with both fireworks and lightning was a pretty unforgettable way to mark America's 250th birthday.

The German Shepherd looked like it was waiting for instructions. The Husky looked like it heard instructions, considered them carefully, and chose independent research instead. “No incidents to report” vs “let me evaluate the wind direction” is accurate.

Dogs don’t wake up trying to become someone else. Same toy. Same walk. Same people. Same dog food. Still acts like it won the lottery. Maybe happiness isn’t always finding something new. Maybe it’s appreciating what’s already sitting right in front of you.
