A wild donkey in the Arizona desert will dig a well six feet deep with its front hooves, and for half a century the United States government has been shooting it as a threat to the desert.
August on a dry wash in the Sonoran. The creek has been gone since May. The sand is hot enough to cook on and every animal for miles is standing in what shade it can find, waiting for a rain that is not coming. A burro walks down the wash, stops at a bend for no reason anyone else can see, puts its head down and smells. Then it starts digging. Front feet, one after the other, like a dog after a bone, until it is in up to its shoulders and the bottom of the hole goes dark and wet.
It drinks and walks off.
Within the hour there is a queue. Mule deer. Javelina. A bobcat. A scrub jay standing on the rim. In 2021 a biologist called Erick Lundgren published the count in Science: 59 species of vertebrate drinking at donkey wells, 64% more species than at the dry stretches of the same streams, and in the driest months the donkeys were raising the amount of open water in the desert by 300% on average and by up to 1,450%. When the wells were abandoned, cottonwood and willow seedlings came up in them. The donkey had been planting the riverbank.
Asked about his methodology, the donkey had another drink and left.
When a beaver builds a pond, a film crew is sent. When a donkey digs a well, the Park Service sends a marksman. The burros came up from Mexico with the Spanish and the prospectors, carried the ore out of every mine in the West, and were turned loose when the mines closed. Then they were reclassified. In 1979 the National Park Service planned to shoot all 577 in the Grand Canyon. A writer called Cleveland Amory raised more than $500,000 and lifted 582 of them out by helicopter, slung underneath, the most expensive taxi ride a donkey has ever taken. Death Valley shot 400 between 1987 and 1994.
Lundgren said that when he started, people did not think a donkey digging a hole was worthy of scientific attention.
The animal was listed as a threat to the desert's water.
It was the one bringing the water up.
Fifty-nine species knew.
The ones with the rifles had never sat by the hole.

Site of much filming for the original #reddawn movie.
The mouse is much like the American voters who are fed up with the corrupt war mongering GOP and turning to vote in democratic socialists and thinking things will be better.

Sometimes the one who looks like the villain may not be the real villain
There is a great movie “against the ice” about this wild true story. If you want a good slow burn watch…
Two men were stranded in the Arctic for almost two years without seeing another human being. At one point, they stopped speaking because of an imaginary love affair.
This is one of the strangest and most moving survival stories I have encountered.
In 1909, Danish explorer Ejnar Mikkelsen sailed to northeast Greenland aboard a ship called the Alabama.
His mission was to recover documents left behind by an earlier expedition whose leader, Ludvig Mylius-Erichsen, and two companions had died in the Arctic in 1907.
Their lost records contained valuable geographical observations.
Among them was evidence that the supposed Peary Channel, believed by some to divide northern Greenland from the rest of the island, did not exist.
In spring 1910, Mikkelsen set out with the ship's engineer, Iver Iversen, to find the missing documents.
They travelled hundreds of kilometres across an almost unimaginably hostile landscape.
They suffered from starvation, exhaustion and scurvy.
Their sled dogs died.
But eventually, they found the records.
What they did not know was that while they were struggling to return, disaster had overtaken their ship.
The Alabama had been damaged and sunk by the ice.
The remaining crew had salvaged supplies, constructed a small hut from the wreckage and eventually escaped aboard another vessel.
When Mikkelsen and Iversen finally returned to Shannon Island in November 1910, they found the ship gone and their companions gone.
Nobody was waiting for them.
Nobody knew when they might return.
For the next nineteen months, the two men lived in extreme isolation.
They survived on provisions, hunted animals and whatever they could salvage.
Their tiny shelter became almost their entire world.
They endured the Arctic winter, with its long stretches of darkness.
Outside were ice, polar bears, dangerous weather and vast distances separating them from everyone they knew.
Inside were two exhausted men.
They had to depend on each other for almost everything.
And then something extraordinary happened.
Among their few possessions was a postcard showing a group of young women from a Danish school.
To entertain themselves, the men began inventing personalities for the women.
They gave them names.
They imagined relationships.
Mikkelsen developed a particular fondness for one of the imaginary women, whom they called Miss Støt.
One day, Iversen composed a song about her.
Mikkelsen was furious.
He felt that his companion had behaved disloyally toward the woman he had imagined as his own.
The two men stopped speaking.
For two days, silence filled their tiny shelter.
Eventually, Iversen handed Mikkelsen a mock letter, apologizing and offering to surrender not only Miss Støt but all the other imaginary women.
They reconciled.
They promised not to let silence come between them again.
In September 1911, Iversen wrote in his diary about the unbearable slowness of time and his fading hopes that a ship might arrive.
The months continued passing.
Back in Denmark, many believed the men were dead.
But in the summer of 1912, a Norwegian sealing vessel finally reached them.
After nearly three years away from home, Mikkelsen and Iversen returned to Denmark alive.
The records they had rescued helped establish that the supposed Peary Channel did not exist.
The expedition had achieved its geographical purpose.
For nineteen months, two men occupied an almost unimaginably small human universe.
They were each other's entertainment, irritant, companion, witness and best hope of survival.
Even an imaginary romantic betrayal could become a genuine source of pain.
The photograph of the two men after their ordeal shows what the Arctic did to their bodies.
Their story tells us something about what prolonged isolation can do to a mind.
And what friendship, however strained or imperfect, can do to keep it alive.

Le mensonge de l’ONU vient de s’effondrer en une semaine sur Haïti.
Pendant 30 ans, l’ONU et la « communauté internationale » ont multiplié les résolutions, les missions (MINUSTAH, MSS, GSF), les rapports, les expertises et les mandats limités.
Résultat : les gangs contrôlent 80-90 % de Port-au-Prince, des milliers de morts par an, plus d’un million de déplacés, un État fantôme. La Force de Suppression des Gangs, autorisée par le Conseil de sécurité, a mis plus d’un an à déployer environ 1 500 hommes avec un impact dérisoire. Les gangs ont même réussi à tendre une embuscade à des techniciens salvadoriens sous mandat ONU.
Bukele arrive. En une dizaine de jours, il déploie plus de 2 000 soldats salvadoriens davantage que toute la force ONU, hors du carcan bureaucratique et des chaînes de commandement multilatérales. Pas de six mois de négociations, pas de rapports de 200 pages, pas de « respect des droits des gangs ». Juste des soldats, des blindés, des hélicoptères, et une volonté claire.
Et soudain, les gangs se cachent. Les habitants sortent dans la rue, crient, célèbrent. Le mot d’ordre est simple : « Se débloque le pays ». Les chefs de gangs appellent l’ONU pour « dialoguer » et demander la médiation. La panique s’installe chez ceux qui terrorisaient le pays depuis des années.
Ce n’est pas un miracle. C’est la démonstration que le problème n’a jamais été « trop complexe pour être résolu ». Le problème, c’était le dogme : que seule l’approche multilatérale molle, procédurale, obsédée par les « droits humains » des criminels, pouvait être légitime. Que la souveraineté, la force décisive et les résultats concrets étaient suspects.
Bukele a déjà prouvé chez lui qu’on pouvait casser les gangs. Il vient de le montrer en Haïti en une semaine, pendant que l’ONU en parlait depuis trois décennies. Les Haïtiens dans la rue l’ont compris plus vite que les experts de New York et de Genève.
La question n’est plus « comment faire ? ».
Elle est : combien de temps encore allons-nous prétendre que les processus internationaux qui perpétuent le chaos sont la seule solution possible ?
A bon entendeur.

I didn’t follow J6 so I had nooooo clue about any of it’s history. When Brian was arrested it threw our world into a tornado that has yet to calm 💔. December was a VERY SCARY TIME WHEN WE DIDN’T HAVE FACTS, only what the government put out.
@KyleSeraphin and @CaraCastronuova would not us rest until we understood the set up and knew of all the work @SteveBakerUSA and team had done. @NobleOne told us to go on X to see the support Brian had because we felt we were fighting in uncharted territory alone.
To my surprise, I was overwhelmed and my heart filled with joy (I still am) to the love and support sent our way when I created a profile for him.
Everyone that has fought and spoken out for Brian, known and unknown, are living proof from God to assure me my faith in Him is real. I had to hand this HUGE BURDEN TO HIM to ensure I made no mistakes with my baby’s life.
I am eternally GRATEFUL AND THANKFUL beyond words for everyone’s kind words, prayers, sharing Brian’s case and donations. This is way out of our realm and all of you have made it bearable.
I’m also extremely grateful for our law teams that are diligent, meticulous and working so hard that, IMO, the government is trying to have them kicked off Brian’s case (I hope I’m wrong on this but….).
Love you all and thank you for the love you have shown Brian and our family. 🫶🏾
🚨EXCLUSIVE New Video🧵 - Today is the 1st Anniversary of our article published @theblaze naming a possible forensic match to the J6 pipe bomber. An event that set off a chain reaction that forever affected many people's lives. Rather than review the complexities of the last year, I'm going to keep it simple today. This video shows Ms. Shauni Kerkhoff arriving at @CapitolPolice HQ on the morning of January 6, 2021. (Continued in comments below. ⬇️)

The reason the world is upset with Israel is because of the 700,000+ innocent Palestinians they’ve murdered.
It’s not because they’re Jewish. Hope that helps.

The Charlie Kirk Investigation is solved.
Means, Motive and Opportunity.
We did it. The Pentagon killed Charlie Kirk.
(And, since I have the evidence, and shared it with Joe Kent, privately, that's why I went to hiding a year ago. POTUS knows I know.)

For two years, I worked to advance voter promises of President Trump and RFK.
But when this level of subversion to voter intent is taking place by Ballard lobbyists, I believe the most effective thing you can do is tell the truth.
