Sunny here and in the mid 50’s but seems cold.
Hubby has been feeding birds outside my window lately, waiting for my bird show to begin.
So many different species.
Loving it.
😻
Live bird show sounds great!
Re: Why does he want to ban them?
Apparently there are several branches of the Orthodox church in Ukraine, including “Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate”.

<> Ukraine slaps sanctions on senior clerics in pro-Moscow church - Reuters, 1 hour ago <>
Ukraine is slapping sanctions on 10 senior clerics linked to a pro-Moscow church on the grounds they agreed to work with Russian occupation authorities or justified Moscow’s invasion, the security service said on Saturday.
The announcement is the latest in a series of steps against a Ukrainian branch of the Orthodox Church linked historically to Moscow. The Orthodox Church in Russia itself backs the war.
In a statement, the security services said the 10 clerics had variously agreed to cooperate with occupation authorities, promoted pro-Russian narratives and justified Russian military aggression in Ukraine.
Most of the clerics - all either members of the church or closely linked to it - live in territories controlled by Russia or are abroad, the service said.
“The Security Service of Ukraine continues to carry out comprehensive work on the protection of Ukrainian statehood and will continue to expose persons who threaten the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine,” it said.
The Ukrainian branch formally severed ties with the Russian Orthodox Church last May, but is still mistrusted by many Ukrainians and accused of secret co-operation with Russia.

What a sweet baby!

It has been raining all afternoon, cold and windy, low 40’s.
I won’t be surprised to wake up to snow tomorrow.
Enjoy your birds, only big blackbirds here that don’t fly south.

Jim Jordan Vows To Find Another Way To Get Hunter Biden Documents
Carmine Sabia December 3, 2022
Republican Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan is not waiting for the Biden administration to give him what he wants so he is finding another way.
The representative said that the Treasury Department is blocking Congress from gaining access to Hunter Biden’s business dealings.
He spoke to host Joshua Phillip on Epoch TV on Thursday and mentioned the nearly 150 “Suspicious Activity Reports” which, prior to a policy change that took effect after President Joe Biden entered the White House, where available for Congressional review.
Now the representative, who is set to become the chair of the House Judiciary Committee, wants to see them.
“Most Americans have never heard the term ‘Suspicious Activity Reports.’ These are actual reports that financial institutions file with the Treasury Department when they see suspicious activity,” the representative said.
“Typically, it’s money laundering type of activity, so most Americans don’t get these. Or if they do, there is a good reason for it. But there are 150 of them on Hunter Biden and Jim Biden, the President’s brother, and that, to me, is a big concern,” he said.
“It used to be before the Biden administration if the committee wanted to see that information, whether it was Democrats on the committee or Republicans on the committee, they could have access to it … until the Biden administration,” he said.
“So the Biden administration hasn’t complied with any of the correspondence, any of the letters and requests that came from [incoming House Committee on Oversight and Reform Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.)]. They have changed the policy on SARs for the ability of committees to review that information,” the representative said.
“So we’ll see if we get access. Maybe we’re going to have to go to the banks to get that information and not through the Treasury Department,” he said.
The Epoch Times reported.
Following the administration’s decision, House Financial Services Committee Chairman Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) introduced, and the House subsequently approved, H.R. 7734, the “Timely Delivery of Bank Secrecy Act Reports Act.” The Waters bill was approved by the House July 26, 2022, on a 349-to-70 vote, with majorities of both parties supporting the measure.
The Waters measure would require the Treasury Department to provide copies of SARs to requesting congressional officials within 30 days and requires financial institutions to turn over requested copies upon receipt of a congressional subpoena.
The Waters bill was introduced in the Senate and referred to the Senate Banking Committee, chaired by Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), but no action has been taken on the bill since being referred to the Ohio Democrat’s panel.

Auntie Maxine introduced the bill and a majority passed, interesting.

I guess it’s part of the play, but what about all the liberals…are they part of the act as well? Or only the good guys? I sure hope 4 out of 7 justices are the good guys
Senate Republicans Demand McConnell Only Accept Short-Term Spending Bill
Senate Republicans have vowed to oppose any spending bill that would go on beyond the 117th Congress.
One of the Democrats’ many agenda items during the lame-duck session is the passage of a more comprehensive omnibus spending bill. In contrast to a CR, an omnibus bill, if passed, would allow Democrats to set appropriations levels for next year even though they’ll be in the House minority.
Because the 118th Congress will sit for the first time on Jan. 3, 2022, allowing a CR to run out before then could give a lame-duck Democrat majority a last-minute chance to fund its policies through all of fiscal year 2023.
This, a group of Republican senators told Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) in a Nov. 30 letter, is unacceptable.
They wrote, “We believe it would be both imprudent, and a reflection of poor leadership, for Republicans to ignore the will of the American people and rubber stamp an omnibus spending bill that funds ten more months of [President Joe Biden’s] agenda without any check on his reckless policies that have led to a 40-year high in inflation.”
Mitch has already expressed willingness to give Democrats spending authority for the next fiscal year.
RE: MUSK - TWITTER
The employees never fathomed they would be shut out of headquarters before they could cover their tracks and lay boobytraps.
Speaking of Gorilla glue, did they ever pry the environmental protestors from the Mercedes building in Germany? Last I heard the janitors turned out the lights and shut the door on them.
AMEN!
