Blowing Daisies onto Daisy Lane ~“I am inspired to create spaces for people. To create something out of this world that transports people out of their familiar surroundings. The pieces I create are often places for people to engage, connect and share experiences, sometimes internally with themselves and sometimes with each other.” ~ Daniel Popper, South African Sculptor#Art #Inspirational #Lifestyle #Nature #Sculpture

Tulip Heaven at Longwood Gardens, Pennsylvania ~<The Tulip was actually originally a wild flower growing in Central Asia. It was first cultivated by the Turks as early as 1000AD. Mania in Turkey struck in the 16th century, at the time of the Ottoman Empire, when the Sultan demanded cultivation of particular blooms for his pleasure.>Photo Credit: Scott Hummel#Flowers #Tulips #Garden #Gardening #Photography

Statement from President Biden:<Tonight, the House took a critical step forward to prevent a first-ever default and protect our country’s hard-earned and historic economic recovery. This budget agreement is a bipartisan compromise. Neither side got everything it wanted. That’s the responsibility of governing. I want to thank Speaker McCarthy and his team for negotiating in good faith, as well as Leader Jeffries for his leadership.This agreement is good news for the American people and the American economy. It protects key priorities and accomplishments from the past two years, including historic investments that are creating good jobs across the country. And, it honors my commitment to safeguard Americans’ health care and protect Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. It protects critical programs that millions of hardworking families, students, and veterans count on.>#Biden #Congress #DebtCeiling #News #Politics

Biden continues:<I have been clear that the only path forward is a bipartisan compromise that can earn the support of both parties. This agreement meets that test. I urge the Senate to pass it as quickly as possible so that I can sign it into law, and our country can continue building the strongest economy in the world.>

“There is not an Attorney General of either party who would not have brought today’s charges against the former president. He has dared, taunted, provoked, and goaded DOJ to prosecute him from the moment it was learned that he had taken these national security documents. On any given day for the past 18 months — doubtless up to and including the day before the indictment was returned — the former president could have avoided and prevented this prosecution. He would never have been indicted for taking these documents. But for whatever reason, he decided that he would rather be indicted and prosecuted. After a year and a half, he finally succeeded in forcing Jack Smith’s appropriately reluctant hand, having left the Department no choice but to bring these charges lest the former president make a mockery of the Constitution and the Rule of Law.” ~ Judge J.

No matter how it ends, Prigozhin's actions in the past 24 hours have weakened Putin. Everything that weakens Putin is good for Ukraine. ~ Michael McFaul#News #Russia #Ukraine

Since the beginning of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, analysts and officials have claimed that Putin will never back down; that he needs a facing-saving win (i.e. Ukrainian territory) to end his war. Events yesterday completely undermined that assumption.Putin talked tough in his national address. He sounded like someone preparing for a big fight. But when faced with the difficult decision of trying to stop Wagner mercenaries with major force, he backed down. He didn't escalate. He didn't need a face-saving off-ramp to declare victory. When facing the possibility of really losing to Wagner mercenaries coming into Moscow, he just capitulated.#News #Russia #Ukraine

McFaul continues:
Instead of doubling down with more force to crush the mutiny, Putin accepted humiliation instead. He was the rat trapped in the corner that so many Putinologists have told us to fear. But he didn't lash out and go crazy. He negotiated and with a traitor. The lesson for the war in Ukraine is clear. Putin is more likely to negotiate and end his war if he is losing on the battlefield. Those who have argued that Ukraine must not attack Crimea for fear of triggering escalation must now reevaluate that hypothesis.The sooner Putin fears he is losing the war, the faster he will negotiate.~ Michael McFaul#News #Russia #Ukraine

Paine defines the MAGA GOP perfectly here:
“Men who look upon themselves born to reign, and others to obey, soon grow insolent; selected from the rest of mankind their minds are early poisoned by importance; and the world they act in differs so materially from the world at large, that they have but little opportunity of knowing its true interests, and when they succeed to the government are frequently the most ignorant and unfit of any throughout the dominions.” ~ Thomas Paine, Common Sense

Are we listening yet? <Kash Patel says, as Trump’s next CIA Director, he will lead an all out effort from “patriots” appointed by Trump to jail people in government and media: “We will find the conspirators in government and the media. Yes, we are going to come after people in the media."> Vote 💙

For me personally, the most inspirational happening of 2023 has to be the images we received from the James Webb Telescope. I love how the Webb is expanding our science while revealing the infinite magnificence of the Universe ~Photo credit: Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex, Star Burst compliments of NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope
