Bunkering On a Snowy Day

The house dogs entertain themselves in the sun room watching the actiom at the bird feeders. The two terriers are in and out of the basement and their own fenced yard which is half-sheltered from the snow by a large deck.

John Brown’s Truth Is Marching On

John Brown's body 

lies a-mouldering in the grave;

His soul is marching on!

Glory, glory, hallelujah! 

His soul is marching on!

He's gone to be a soldier

in the army of the Lord! 

His soul is marching on!

John Brown's knapsack 

is strapped upon his back!
His soul is marching on!

300 Million Gallon Sewage Spill on the Potomac

A massive pipe that moves many millions of gallons of sewage has ruptured and sent wastewater flowing into the Potomac River northwest of Washington, DC, polluting it ahead of a major winter storm that has repair crews scrambling.

This sewage spill is already 300 million gallons and counting, making it one of the largest sewage spills in US history. More >> https://cnn.it/3O1m8vr

Baby, It’s Cold Outside

Dirt dens are a sensible way for animals to tuck in and get out of the cold, the heat, and the wet, to say nothing of predators. 

The list of animals that hibernate in underground burrows, live in burrows, or nest in burrows is astounding: many types of fox, all types of badger, many types of turtle and tortoise, some owls and parrots, all kinds of ground squirrels and marmots, some penguins and puffins, chipmunks, wombats, European rabbits, several types of bears, wolves and dogs, cicadas, stoats, weasels, platypus, ferrets, otter, some wild pigs, voles, aardvarks, aardwolves, some wild cats, many snakes and lizards, beaver, nutria, alligators, catfish, coyotes, salamanders, mole crickets, possums, raccoons, wombats, hedgehogs, bats, swiflets, pangolins, frogs and toads, several kinds of shrimp, moles, mice and rats, crayfish, clams, kingfishers, many kinds of worms, armadillos, skunks, muskrats, meerkats, some large spiders, and several types of wasps and bees.

My Favorite Soup

My mother made chestnut soup to die for, but I have recipe for Green Curry Soup that *might* be even better.

I discovered Green Curry Soup in the most unlikely place — a very small restaurant in Davis, West Virginia, near Blackwater Falls.  Davis has a population of 600, so I did not expect great things from the Ish Kitchen and Bar, but I was happily wrong.

I spent a lot of time looking for “green curry” in Halal and Indian food shops before I discovered it was canned, and in the “Malaysian” food and soup section at H-Mart.

There is Green Curry and Red Curry, and I slightly prefer the Green Curry, but to my tastebuds it’s a dime’s worth of difference.

Here’s the very simple recipe: 

• 2 cans of Green Curry Soup
• 1.5 pounds of chicken breast, cut into small chunks for soup
• 1 can (use the Green Curry can as a measure) of chicken stock
• A 1/4 cup of rice wine vinegar
• Half a Green Curry can measure of oat creamer
• I teaspoon of sugar

 That’s it.  The cut up chicken in put in a frying pan with about 3/3 of an inch of water and cooked and stirred until the water is gone.  The rest of the stuff just goes into the pot willy-nilly.

Belted Kingfisher

A Belted Kingfisher hunting for small fish over a creek near the house.

Kingfishers nest underground in holes they drill into high stream banks.

These birds have enormous heads for the size of their body, and have both a very distinctive flight pattern and a very distinctive clicking call.

This bird appears quite grey in this picture, but they are more typically a rather nice blue-grey.

A Note For Overseas Readers

For those overseas and at home, it’s worth mentioning that TWO-THIRDS OF ALL ADULT AMERICANS DID NOT VOTE FOR TRUMP.

There was huge vote suppression of minority votes, but just under 64 percent of all adult Americans still voted.  

Trump got less than 50 percent of that 64 percent, or (rounding up) 32 percent.  

Two-thirds of all Americans did NOT vote for Trump and *no one* voted for killing off entire agencies, turning the government over to children under the control of Elon Musk, firing half the FBI, and abolishing the FDIC, USAID, the Dept. of Education, consumer protection, etc.  

No one voted in support of Trump selling pardons to murderers, rapists, conmen, pedophiles, and international drug lords. 

No one voted to have masked secret police kicking down doors, without warrant, in order to disappear people without due process. No one voted to kill off cancer research, or to invade or threaten other countries.

The only question now is when do the days of rage REALLY start.

Trust me… it’s coming.

A rolling general strike is next, and it’s long past time for it.

The Power of Protest at the Greengrocers

At DAVOS, yesterday, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, the smart, reality-based new leader of the free world referenced Václav Havel’s 80-page essay entitled, “The Power of the Powerless,” written in 1978.

It’s worth a read >>  https://www.nonviolent-conflict.org/wp-content/uploads/1979/01/the-power-of-the-powerless.pdf

“The greengrocer has not committed a simple, individual

offense [by taking down the sign], isolated in its own uniqueness, but something incomparably more serious. By breaking the rules of the game, he has disrupted the game as such. He has exposed it as a mere game.  He has shattered the world of appearances, the fundamental pillar of the system. He has upset the power structure by tearing apart what holds it together. He has demonstrated that living a lie is living a lie. He has broken through the exalted facade of the system and exposed the real, base foundations of power. He has said that the emperor is naked.”

Bingo.

Ladies and gentlemen, the emperor is naked.

Donald Trump only has the power we give him by acquiescing and obeying in advance.  

Trump only has power if we live in fear of what might happen if we step out of line to help our neighbors who, in turn, might help their neighbors.

We are the power.  

We are who we have been waiting for.  

We only need be good neighbors, and join other good neighbors, to help each other achieve a common goal through honesty and reciprocity.

But first, we must take down the sign that says we will go along to get along.

We must take down the sign that says we will comply in advance.

We must show that we, the people, will show up in numbers too big to police and too many to jail.

We must refuse to obey illegal orders.

We must fight the secret police who are already so scared they dare not show their face or say their own name.

And we must let the corporate dragons hoarding huge piles of gold know that we see them and hold them complicit.  It is their money and their cowardice that has enabled this, every bit as much as the cowardice and insider trading of Congress.

The world only needs to stop buying US treasuries for it all to come crashing down.

Denmark’s fleet of Maersk container ships only need boycott the US for 6 months for the US economy to lose a trillion dollars.

The current world order, with Trump and the US on top, is as fragile as a soap bubble, and collectively and individually, we all hold the pin.

The Most Important Speech In My Lifetime

1989, 1998

Trump’s Greenland Plan

Donald Trump keeps threatening to send the 11th Airborne Division to Minnesota. The 11th Airborne is based in Alaska, and encompasses around 12,000 soldiers across two infantry brigades and support elements, focusing on large-scale Arctic training in vast terrains.

Trump is not ginning up the 11th Airborne for Minnesota, but for Greenland. 

NATO needs to say it plain; they will engage in rapid, non-proportional, lethal strikes if that happens, and they will not limit those strikes to Greenland. 

Mar-a-lago needs to be put on the map for Day One retaliation, as does every Trump property, and every American oligarch yacht.

Moving the Immovable

In 2006, I wrote a blog post called “Inbred Thinking” about the failed genetic theories and closed minds underpinning the world of Kennel Club dogs.

In 2007 I got an email, and then a phone call, from Jemima Harrison. She was interested in the history and canine health outcomes I’d written about.

In 2008, Jemima produced “Pedigree Dogs Exposed” for the BBC, a documentary that quite literally blew the doors off the Kennel Club.

Some months later, I was visiting with Donald McCaig at a sheep dog trial in Virginia. Donald could clearly see the enormous impact Pedigree Dogs Exposed was having, but he didn’t quite get it.

“Patrick,” he said, “we’ve been talking about this stuff forever.  There’s nothing new.”

“Right,” I said. “But we were TELLING them.  Jemima SHOWED them, and it’s showing them that has made all the difference.”

At first the Kennel Club tried to be OUTRAGED that anyone would question their morality or expertise. 

When that didn’t work, they tried lying and minimizing both the disease and deformity.

When that didn’t work, they bunkered down.  Surely we would eventually get exhausted and move on?

But we did not get exhausted, and we did not move on.  Instead, we were joined, sometime by critics, but more often by supporters.

Jemima created CRUFFA, and I discovered Facebook.  

Bloggers were joined by veterinarians and, in the process of trying to prove us wrong, or sometimes out of curiosity, thousands and thousands of people discovered the depths of disease, deformity, and dysfunction in the world of Kennel Club dogs.

Somewhere along the line, pet insurance actuaries joined the fray. 

Thanks to CRUFFA, I believe, a few countries in Europe banned the “torture breeding” of intentionally deformed and severely brachycephalic dogs. 

This morning, Jemima posted on the latest report from the UK Kennel Club, which squarely faces the myriad problems in the world of pedigree dogs, and begins moving everyone towards sensible solutions

Once again, I am reminded of my old friend Donald McCaig, who wondered if it was possible to move the Kennel Clubs whose position he likened to a religion, free of evidence and based on faith alone.

“Ah,” I said, “it’s possible.  But it’s a bit like moving the Pyramids; it’s the first three feet that’s the hardest!”

Twenty years on, many thousands of hands pushing on the very long fulcrum of the Internet, has indeed begun to move the immovable. 

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, THE FIRST THREE FEET >> https://shorturl.at/ERdtr. 

Please read the entire report.

The Chairman of the UK Kennel Club, Ian Seath, writes:

Our intention in commissioning this review was clear: to understand, with honesty and precision, where our current work is effective, where it falls short, and where we must focus our efforts to support a healthier future for generations ofdogs. The findings do not shy away from the complexities and challenges faced by breeders and by the wider canine sector.

Nor do they overlook the dedication, care and commitment demonstrated by the many individuals and breed communities who work tirelessly to preserve and improve their breeds.

This document sets out a structured and forward‑looking programme for the Royal Kennel Club. It provides a clear framework through which we will refine our support for breeders, strengthen our evidence base, modernise our tools, and address the most pressing issues in genetic diversity, conformation, and breed‑related disease. Importantly, it recognises that the Royal Kennel Club must offer leadership that is grounded not only in scientific rigour but also in transparency, collaboration, and accountability.

Dr Alison Skipper (MA Vet MB Cert VR MA PhD MRCVS), Veterinary and Research Advisor at the Royal Kennel Club, was recruited in January 2025 to write the report and suggested way forward.

The report focuses in three lines of inquiry and reform:

1. Genetic diversity and inbreeding
2. Extreme conformation
3. Breed-related disease

Please read the entire report.

As skeptical and cynical as I always am, I have to say this report is terrific, and Allison Skipper deserves all the roses, as does new Kennel Club Chairman Ian Seath.

Full applause here.  This is Herculean-level stable cleaning. leaders

How To Speak German

In Germany they say if there’s a Nazi at the table and 10 other people are sitting talking to him, you've got a table with 11 Nazis. 

In America we say if there’s a Trump supporter at the table and 10 other people are sitting there talking to him, you've got a table with 11 Nazis.

Going to the Mailbox This Morning

Fuck Your Civility, You Fucking Fuckers

“Nice people made the best Nazis. My mom grew up next to them. They got along, refused to make waves, looked the other way when things got ugly and focused on happier things than ‘politics.’ They were lovely people who turned their heads as their neighbors were dragged away. You know who weren’t nice people? Resisters."

Donald Trump Does Not Understand Consent

Donald Trump thinks he can just grab Greenland by the pussy and, because he’s President, the world will let him do it.

Let me say this simply and clearly: If someone you do not know tries to kiss you, feel free to slap the teeth out of their head.

If they try to "grab you by the pussy," hit them so hard they will need a mortician and an anatomy professor to reassemble the body.

Trump needs a punch in the face, and it’s time the world gave it to him, because clearly the US Congress will not.

You stop self-rewarding behavior with punishment.  If a person is young, and the behavior is new, the punishment does not have to be too severe, it just has to be consistent.  The old dog-training axiom is that “if you do a little sooner, you don’t have to do more later”.

But what if it’s an Old Dog, and the behavior is strongly self-rewarding, and has been tolerated for decades?

Then you are going to have to come in a great deal stronger.

And if the animal in question is very large and coming up the leash with teeth barred?

That’s when you shoot the dog.

Trump is going to make the world shoot the dog.

Here’s what’s ahead for the US generally, and Trump personally, if the direction and velocity on Greenland does not change soon:

▪️NATO countries, including Japan, will immediately stop buying US Treasuries, which will tank the US economy.

▪️NATO countries will impose economic sanctions on every Trump- and Kushner-owned and associated business, from hotels to crypto currency, from shipping to web services. 

▪️ NATO countries will file criminal murder charges in the ICC against Trump Administration officials, including Trump, Vance, Hegseth, Bondi, Miller, and Rubio, for hundreds of murders in Venezuela and the Caribbean.

▪️NATO will seize and immediately close American military bases in Europe.

The Big Wink at Corporate Crime

“A little more of this, a little less of that.”

That's what training is all about no matter what type of beast is being trained.

Most people know how to reward positive behavior, and to be honest, it's not that tough to train a small child or a new puppy.

But what about bad behavior that is strongly self-reinforcing, and may have gone on for years without any opposition at all?

"Train a different behavior" we are told, but of course those are just words. The answer to a barking dog is not to "train it to bark on command and then never give the command," no matter how often that bit of nonsense is repeated. For dogs, barking is a self-rewarding behavior, same as deer-chasing and digging in trash cans for stray scraps of food.

But, of course, not all training is about dogs and small children is it?

We also train adult people, organizations, corporations, and even clients.

And is all that training done using a "click and treat" paradigm?

Of course not.

Nor could it ever be.

For example, what are we supposed to be doing with criminals who rob our houses and shoplift in our stores?

Are we to reward them every time they decide not to rob us?

Are we we supposed to buy a meal and a movie ticket for a rapist every time they allow a pretty girl to walk by unmolested?

I think not!

And what about corporations that engage in illegal theft, profiteering, and bill-padding, or which manufacture products that maim, poison, or kill?

Are we supposed to give tax breaks to all the companies that don't kill us and don't poison us and don't rip us off?

Are we supposed to "click and treat" companies full of liars, cheats, and thieves as soon as they stop lying, stealing, and cheating?

How do you "train" away corporate bad behavior with a purely-positive rewards-based system?

You can't.

It's just that simple.

The bottom line is that there is a place for cheese and choke chains, and this is not new information.

It's not a matter of one or the other -- it's a question of using the right tool on the right problem at the right time and in the right manner.

And let’s be clear here: we have massive corporate looting in this country — billions of dollars stolen from the American people every month.

Shoplifting and the occasional riot pale in scale when compared to the snatch and grab done by banks, pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, weapons makers, insurance companies, and oil and gas drillers.

But when these companies loot, there is NO punishment. Companies may pay a fine when caught, but the executives that planned the frauds keep their jobs, their promotions, their bonuses and raises. No one goes to jail. No one is put in handcuffs.

This is the Big Wink we give to white collar crime.

When people with college educations and every advantage in the world loot America for millions and billions of dollars, we put them on the society pages and invite them to join the country club.

When a poor man smashes a window and steals a color television or a pair of sneakers, we give police license to shoot and kill him without trial.

And the poor man?

If he’s not shot dead, he’s now got a police record that anyone can look up, and which will cost him jobs and income for the rest of his life.

The corporate looter?

There is no federal or state data base of corporate crime. There is no listing of the executives at Johnson & Johnson who made the decision to poison for profit. Corporate criminals privatize the profits and commonize the costs with both impunity and anonymity.

But guess what American looter the press corps wants to talk about?

Not the ones that buy ads on TV, radio, or in print press!

Again, this is part of the Big Wink when it comes to looting in America.

Theq great playwright Eugene O’Neil put it best in a play that starred Paul Robeson:

“There’s little stealing and there’s big stealing. For the little stealing they get you in jail sooner or later. For the big stealing they make you Emperor and put you in the Hall of Fame when you croak.”

The Death of American Exceptionalism

One thing Trump has killed off is the idea of American exceptionalism — the idea that “sure GERMANY might engage in a holocaust, and RWANDA might engage in ethnic cleansing, but that could *never* happen in America”.

Right.

Have I mentioned that the United States is a country of slow learners and quick forgetters?

True. But in our defense, we are also poorly educated.

 

Every morning, as school children, we pledged allegiance to the idea of “liberty and justice for all.”

It was all poppycock, of course. 

Our schools never taught us the truth, which is that, for most of US history, most Americans could not vote.

For most of US history, most Americans could not vote. 

Say it again.

Women could not vote, blacks could not vote, and Native Americans could not vote. 

First generation Asian Americans were prohibited from naturalization, and therefore prohibited from voting, until passage of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952.

Many hispanic Americans could not vote until the 1975 extension of the Voting Rights Act, which ended discrimination against language minorities.

Did they teach us that in grade school?  High school? College?  Grad school?

They did not.

Not teaching is Job One if your goal is to keep people easily manipulated and easily recruited to war, brutality, and drudgery.

Do you think police are recruited from the top 5 percent of a high school class?  They are not.

If you want an easy-to-recruit cadre of slave-catchers, grunt soldiers, beat cops, and prison guards, you need a  thick-witted crowd of brutalists at the bottom of a slippery US economic ladder.  No geniuses need apply.

Trump has bragged that “the poorly educated” love him.  This is his base — the police, dog catchers, and young white thugs that always swarm to any recruitment station that promises them “three hots and a cot”, a uniform, and the ability to exert authority and brutality.

Today we know something we only suspected a year ago — that there is no American exceptionalism.  

Much of America is as brutal and dim-witted as any machete-wielding Rwandan Hutu or cane-wielding British colonial.

Trump knows this, and he applauds it.  

I assure you that the $45 billion now being funneled into creating a new massive ICE detention system is not being built for “criminal illegal aliens”.

These facilities are being built to incarcerate “enemies of the state,” which is to say anyone who stands up and speaks out.

Protest will be called insurrection, and citizens will be deported or disappeared.

It has already started. 

Donald Trump and Pam Bondi, Kash Patel and Stephen Miller, Pete Hegseth and Tom Homan are not going to stop.  

Kristi Noem shot her dog in the head rather than train it?  

That wasn’t a recruitment bar for the Trump administration, it was a feature.  

Anyone who would brag about shooting her dog in the face would not blink at doing the same to an illegal alien, or even a blonde, blue-eyed Christian mom from Minneapolis.

And so now the dim-witted and ham-fisted are rolling out their rationales for murder. 

“She should have stayed home.”

“She egged him on.”

“She was asking for it.”

“She should have just complied.”

Right.  

That’s the language of abuse, and it’s coming from hundreds of abusers at the top of our government, and from millions of Fox News-watching sycophants.

But, the tide may be turning.  

We may be passing a milestone.

Trump and his cadre of wanna-be slave-catchers are no longer fighting immigrants, legal or illegal.  

Now they are fighting a vast swath of America, and we can see that with our own eyes, and in real time.

The National Guard has been turned against citizens, and so too have ICE agents.  

But the courts have now sent the National Guard back.

Dog-shooting Kristi Noem is now sending hundreds of more ICE agents to Minnesota, but that’s not a show of strength, but a show of fear.  

ICE is afraid.

ICE is afraid of soccer moms and senior citizens.  

And because ICE is afraid, they are going to get *more* violent, not less violent.  

Sending 200 more ICE agents to Minnesota, however, will only result in scores of thousands of more citizens taking to the street in opposition.  

The battle lines are drawn, and this is not a new battle, as Woodie Guthrie reminded us in his 1944 song:

“I’m gonna tell you fascists

You may be surprised

The people in this world

Are getting organized

You’re bound to lose

You fascists bound to lose

“Race hatred cannot stop us

This one thing we know

Your poll tax and Jim Crow

And greed has got to go

You’re bound to lose

You fascists bound to lose.

“People of every color

Marching side to side

Marching ‘cross these fields

Where a million fascists dies

You fascists bound to lose!

“I’m going into this battle 

And take my union gun

We’ll end this world of slavery

Before this battle’s won

You’re bound to lose

You fascists bound to lose!”

The French, of course, are watching all this and are a bit confused. 

Where are the fires?  Where are the barricades?

Good point.  

America has always been slow to waken up, but by God when we do….

I assure you that the fires and barricades are coming. 

They MUST come.  

As Frederick Douglass observed, “the limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppose.”  

America is damn tired of Trump, and I do not think we will endure much more. 

We have 400 million guns in this country, and most states have “stand your ground” laws which allow citizens to legally shoot gun-wielding masked men raiding their cars and homes without judicial warrant.

We no longer live in the era of schooners and candles, and America is not going backwards.  

The best slave catcher is a dead slave catcher.  

If that sounds controversial to you, so be it.

America was forged in fire, and the Second Amendment exists in response to the possibility of a police state. 

Americans will not go quietly into that good night.  

We will rage, rage, against the dying of the light.

The fires and barricades are coming.

A Hateful Ferry Over the Potomac

The top picture shows fox hunting hounds and horses crossing at White’s Ferry on the Potomac near where I frquently bike and hunt. 

No date, but very early 20th Century is my guess. 

White’s Ferry crosses the Potomac between Leesburg, Virginia (the center of fox hunting in America) and Poolesville, Maryland.

The second picture is of the more modern ferry, which was shut down five and a half years ago (2020) over a landing dispute on the Virginia side. A great deal of effort and money has been put into solving that dispute, but the land owner on the Virginia side is wealthy and quite recalcitrant.

I, for one, have never been very sympathetic to the family that owned White’s Ferry until it was shut down and sold.

Why is that?

Look at the name of the ferry, pictured below, the Jubal Early. 

Jubal Early was a confederate general who threatened to burn Frederick, Maryland — the city closest to the ferry — to the ground if he was not paid $200,000 in cash — the equivalent of $5.2 million today.  See >> https://www.visitfrederick.org/civil-war-trails/attack-on-washington/frederick-ransom/

What’s going on?  Why name a ferry after a Confederate general?  Simple: the former owner of White’s Ferry, R. Edwin Brown, was reputed to be a Ku Klux Klansman. 

For certain, he was a supporter of the negationist “lost cause” nonsense put out by the Confederate States of America and the United Daughters of the Confederacy. 

Naming the ferry after Jubal Early was his way of proudly and loudly flying a KKK flag — a bit like a German putting an 88 license plate on his Tel Aviv taxi.

After losing case after case in court over legal landing access on the Virginia side, the Brown family sold White’s Ferry in 2021 to Chuck Kuhn, founder of JK Moving, now the largest independent moving company in the US (he founded the company when he was 16!). 

Kuhn, a very civic-minded philanthropist and conservationist, has offered to give White’s Ferry to Montgomery County, Maryland, if Loudon County, Virginia, will take possesion of the Virginia side so the ferry can actually operate.  

In April 2025, Montgomery County offered a $3 million subsidy to acquire property rights and purchase equipment for the ferry.  

What’s next?  

My guess is that the Virginia landing side of the Ferry will eventually be seized by the state under eminent domain. In my opinion, it’s long past time for that to happen.

Forever Grateful Bob Weir

Bob Weir, the youngest member of The Grateful Dead, has died at age 78.

“RatDog” was the band Bob Weir created after Jerry Garcia died and The Grateful Dead was no longer touring.

When the band was created, I already had a web site called RatDog, the predecessor site to Terrierman.com. Being broad minded, I rebranded. No reason to sue Bob Weir!

I happened to be in San Francisco in August of 2025, when the Dead Celebrated 60 years with a Golden Gate Park
