Petra Fannin is an incredible artist who uses the name Zamber Lamber for her art pseudonym. When her beloved grandfather passed away at the end of April, she wanted to do something in his memory. Incorporating a feature of her grandmother’s house, she designed and created a unique family tree painting. @zamber_lamber I’ll keep posting updates on the mural as I go. I’m hoping to finish it before or shortly after the funeral. Little bit of background my grandpas family has Mexican AND Native American heritage. He speaks both Spanish and English but also grew up with native culture but he didn’t live on reservation but his brother did (he sadly has passed away). Him and all his siblings have an assigned spirit animal. My grandpas animal is an Owl and the way he explains it to me is that owls have always watched over him. Rest easy Grandpa Alfonso (Edit: I would appreciate if repost accounts would stop reaching out to me in my comments or dms for rights to this video as content. This is a mural and I find it a bit strange to want to profit off my art and something so personal. This page and my Instagram are the only accounts I will post these on! ) ♬ original sound – ?????? ??????? The large family always gathered with Grandma and Grandpa at Christmas. One year, as teens, the grandkids began recording their heights on the wall. The family kept up the tradition. Rather than a traditional notation of who begat whom, Petra’s family tree incorporates the recorded heights of children and grandchildren. With the plan in place, Petra began by applying a solid color to the wall, leaving each notation unpainted. Then she added the tree trunk and branches to incorporate the “leaves.” Her grandfather’s spirit animal is the owl, so she added an owl to the family tree painting. When her Grandma’s cat passed away, Petra decided the family tree needed another addition. In the caption of the following video, she quoted Stitch from Disney, “Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.” @zamber_lamber Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten -Stitch #familytree #mural #treemural #painting ♬ Anthems For A Seventeen Year-Old Girl – Broken Social Scene She wanted to add to the family tree painting in secret to surprise her grandma. After selecting a lower branch, she began adding this very special family member. She made easy work with the new element, and her grandma was surprised. Image from TikTok. We suspect that there will be more additions to the family tree painting. Petra had mentioned possibly adding more owls. To support Petra’s art, please follow her on Instagram and TikTok. She has an Etsy shop where she sells some of her artwork. As a fashion designer, she maintains an online retail/resale shop for clothing named “Zamber’s Closet.” Please share.

'The SINGLE MOST LOBBIED AGAINST bill in the state of Texas this year'

'I’m not happy with Iran'

“Oh, God …”That was my spontaneous gasp mere seconds into the now-infamous Trump-Biden CNN debate, which took place one year ago this Friday. The president of the United States, Joe Biden, had come out mumbling, raspy, and in a fog thicker than anything seen in London. I confess, after four years of being called a domestic terrorist by the man, I had been looking forward to seeing him get taken to the mats by Donald Trump. The thought of Biden embarrassing himself had filled me with giddy anticipation in the run-up to the debate. I had agreed with the speculation that the debate had been scheduled so early in the season so that if the Big Guy failed Big Time there’d be time for the Democrats to make a change. But that’s politics. Not life and death. And America’s president, my president, was acting like his mental facilities had been left on the beach in Delaware and the Grim Reaper was waiting in the Spin Room. I feared for the country. And for him. What unfolding on stage was stunning, like watching the Hindenburg slowly engulfing in flames, and sinking to the ground. Even Trump, the brawler from Queens squaring off against the rival responsible for his home being raided and dozens of criminal charges across four jurisdictions, held back. At one point, Trump was asked, “What is your response to what President Biden just said?” “I honestly don’t know what he said at the end of that sentence,” he replied sadly. “I don’t think he knows what he said either.” It was not a punch line. BIDEN: "He went to the funeral. The idea that she was murdered by an immigrant. But here's the deal, a lot of young women are being raped by their inlaws. By their spouses. By their brothers and sisters. It's just ridiculous."What is Joe Biden trying to say? pic.twitter.com/3eklYUglr8— KanekoaTheGreat (@KanekoaTheGreat) June 28, 2024 Oh, that debate was sad. When Biden wasn’t offering half-answers and incoherent ramblings so bad even the moderators could not save him, he would stare ahead, mouth open, frozen like an ancient corpse from Pompeii. A CNN commentator asked a question that hung in the minds of millions: “If you love the guy how do you put him in a situation like that?” True enough, and one hopes we will someday get answers from Jill Biden, their kids, grandkids, and friends. I suspect they’ll also have to answer to God. However, that’s not the crucial question, especially given the events of the past 48 hours. That question is: “If you love American how could you put our nation in a situation like that?”On Saturday, Trump made an incredibly difficult call, the momentous decision to attack Iran. Was attacking Iran’s nuclear sites worth the risk of potential counterattacks, unintended consequences, and greater instability in the Middle East? The U.S. drawn into another quagmire? Could he trust the intelligence, given the failed intelligence on Iraq, to say nothing of an intelligence community that had worked against him for eight years? Within that crucial decision came countless other decisions, questions, and concerns. The moment required mental gymnastics on the level of Simone Biles. Hundreds of millions of lives were at stake, as they are every day in a fallen world filled with ruthless enemies and unyielding ambitions. Yet a year ago, the same people that let Biden onto that stage had left those live-or-die decisions in the hands of a man who we now know routinely got lost in his own closet. Who needed cue cards to say hello. Whose most coherent conversations were with the long dead. Then again, were the profound presidential decisions even in Biden’s shaky hands? Who would have really been the one … or ones … making the call? What unelected, unaccountable—and for all we know unequipped—handlers were deciding America’s fate on a daily basis? Democrats are whining about the House and Senate holding hearings to discover the truth about who was really running the government and when staff knew Biden’s brain was a muddle; hearings that this week will feature four Biden staffers. With this weekend’s events, we can truly understand the gravity of getting answers and appreciate the danger we were all put in for four years.   A year ago, thanks to their cover-up, an incapacitated Biden took to the debate stage. Thanks to their cover-up, those same people exposed us to potential catastrophe. Thank God we survived. And can we say, thank God for that debate. We publish a variety of perspectives.

Nobody Bats a Thousand, But Tucker Got This One Very Wrong

Cease Fire, Ceased? 'Two Countries That Don't Know What the F*** They're Doing'

Hundreds of "Venus figurines" have been found far and wide across Europe, but this one is special.

The current whereabouts of the human remains and space cannabis is unknown.

President Donald Trump announced Monday evening that Iran and Israel had agreed to a ceasefire, bringing an end to what was fast becoming another bloody Middle Eastern quagmire. Trump indicated that Iran would begin the ceasefire and that 12 hours later, Israel would follow suit.Unfortunately, there have been multiple violations by both parties in the hours since, resulting in many casualties. The continued exchange of bombs and missiles prompted a full-throated rebuke from Trump Tuesday morning.'ISRAEL. DO NOT DROP THOSE BOMBS.'When asked whether the ceasefire was breaking down, Trump — who just hours earlier had written, "This is a War that could have gone on for years, and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didn't, and never will" — told reporters that Iran apparently fired a rocket "after the time limit and it missed its target, and now Israel is going out. These guys gotta calm down. It's ridiculous."Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi indicated on X that Iran's military operations against Israel "continued until the very last minute, at 4am."Earlier Tuesday morning, the chief of the general staff of the Israel Defense Forces promised to "respond with force" to a "severe violation of the ceasefire carried out by the Iranian regime."Trump leaned into his critique, noting, "I didn't like the fact that Israel unloaded right after we made the deal. They didn't have to unload. And I didn't like the fact that the retaliation was very strong — but in all fairness, Israel unloaded a lot."RELATED: Trump’s strike wasn’t an escalation — it was an exit Bloomberg / Contributor via Getty ImagesJust prior to the ceasefire taking effect, Israeli strikes allegedly killed nine people in Northern Iran and at least five people were killed by Iranian strikes in the Israeli city of Beersheba, reported NBC News.While critical of Iran, Trump appeared especially frustrated with Israel, noting, "When I say, 'OK, now you have 12 hours,' you don't go out in the first hour and just drop everything you have on them. So I'm not happy with them. I'm not happy with Iran, either. But I'm really unhappy if Israel is going out this morning."Trump appeared unable to contain his anger over the breakdown of the possible peace he ordered, stating, "We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the f**k they're doing."The president subsequently issued Israel a directive on Truth Social, writing, "ISRAEL. DO NOT DROP THOSE BOMBS. IF YOU DO IT IS A MAJOR VIOLATION. BRING YOUR PILOTS HOME, NOW!"Twenty minutes later — around the time he reportedly had a no-nonsense phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — Trump indicated that Israel was not going to attack Iran and that all planes would be turning around "while doing a friendly 'Plane Wave' to Iran.""The Ceasefire is in effect!" added Trump.Like Blaze News?

I've never got on with crime games. Hitman, GTA, Mafia - for whatever reason, I consistently find myself on the right side of the law, instead of the wrong one (which is probably a good thing). LA Noire remains, in my eyes, the magnum opus of videogames, and my recent foray back into the cyberpunk world of Nobody Wants to Die reminded me why I love playing detective. It's no surprise, then that The Precinct is very high on my 'must play' list - the streets of Averno City need to feel the swift hand of justice, and I'm here to deliver it. Stop, criminal scum, a new age of lawfulness has arrived - cue broody cop show music.
