    The Republican Plan:
    Renew, Restore, Rebuild

    Democrats want to defund, destroy, and dismantle our country. They’ve proven that by the way they have wasted the American people’s time and taxpayer money over the last two years: impeaching the president, playing politics with the pandemic, and now, turning a blind eye to violence on Democrat-run cities across America.

    Republicans have a better plan—to renew the American dream, restore our way of life, and rebuild the greatest economy ever. We’ve done it once with President Donald Trump, and we will do it again.

      Good morning, aus! Resting up from a vacation at this spot might be called for…

      How’s Loki doing? Was she glad to see her Mama? One of my dogs, Happy–a black and white terrier type–punished me by sleeping in the closet for two weeks after I came home from a week’s holiday. My parents stayed at my apartment and took care of him and he was fine with them, but really upset with me.

        Loki seemed to do fine. She was happy to be home. I think she enjoyed her time at the kennel because she got to go out and run with the other dogs five times a day, each inside their own fences and she got lots of treats that I don’t give her at home. I think she has learned to be very flexible. 🙂

        However, my friends’ cat was a different matter. She was left at home and somebody came over to feed her and take care of her. But, when we went in the cat would have nothing to do with my friend and was meowing that angry cat meow. Finally my friend got her to come into the living room, but the cat walked toward her and passed her and came to me. LOL She never does anything like that. And, then, the cat eventually jumped up on the arm of her chair and “allowed” my friend to pet her. She purred and enjoyed being petted, but her tail kept doing that angry flip that they do. It was so funny.

          I did not know cats were like that. I thought they were very independent, but maybe it depends on the breed, however having a cat ignore you is in character I guess! (Speaking as someone severely allergic who’s never had a cat running her life!) 😉

          Glad Loki was fine. Your friend’s cat is giving her the treatment…YOU will be ignored until you are properly apologetic for leaving me behind. Remember that the next time!

            Her kitty is small and very gentle. But, she used to be my friend’s friend’s cat who treated her very badly. The friend owned lots of expensive trinkets on shelves everywhere and the kitty would sit on the shelf and either pick up a trinket in her mouth or push it with her paw as soon as the woman looked at her. She broke a lot of expensive things and the woman was going to take her to animal control and have her put down. My friend grabbed the kitty up and told her she was taking the kitty and that was that. She has never broken anything of my friend’s.

              ALL cats do that – silly woman should’ve put her better things out of reach.

                Nope In my opinion, she should never have had a cat. She kept her in a cage she could barely turn around in while she went to work for 8 hours. Cruel. And, she had her declawed. My friend had tried to get her to treat the cat better, but when she said she was going to have the cat put down, my friend just grabbed her up and said she was taking her home with her. My friend has all kinds of knick knacks sitting around and the cat walks all around them without breaking any ever.

                    Don’t worry about the kitty now. She lives like a queen most of the time. She is fed what she wants and sleeps on my friend’s pillow, or wherever she wants. The only thing she doesn’t like is when my friend travels she is locked into the house which she is free to roam. And, someone comes in to pet her if she will allow it. 🙂

    Afternoon all 🙂
    In the spirit of this week just change the verbiage to ‘we want you to become an activist, vote, and bring 10 more’! This famous poster is by James Montgomery Flagg.
    This is a link to a discussion of the poster: https://vepca.wordpress.com/2013/01/28/the-value-of-an-iconic-image-james-montgomery-flagg-and-the-famous-i-want-you-poster/

    This is a photo of the artist and poster:

    For another of Flagg’s posters I’ll be putting one next at Stella’s Surprise! President Trump visits the RNC. That one is my favorite of all his posters.

    Have a great day everyone! 😉
