BREAKING: Rep. Al Green DOUBLES DOWN after being dragged from Trump’s address — “Sometimes you have to stand alone.”

Texas Rep. Al Green isn’t apologizing. He isn’t backing down. And he says the consequences mean nothing.

Just hours after being forcibly removed from Donald Trump’s State of the Union for holding a sign declaring “Black people are not apes,” Green went on CSPAN and made one thing crystal clear: he did it on purpose — and he would do it again.

“As you know, the president has depicted a former president and first lady as apes,” Green said. “The behavior has been declared racist by a good many people, but I don’t think the president has really received the message that it’s unacceptable.”

So, Green delivered it himself.

“Tonight, I wanted him to have a person confront him and let him know that Black people aren’t apes,” he said. “Black people are not going to tolerate this kind of behavior.”

Green described Trump as someone who “assumes that he is beyond the law,” who ignores separation of powers, dismisses due process, and acts as though “if he says it, it is right.”

“If we allow this to continue, he is shredding the Constitution,” Green warned.

When asked whether he was standing alone, Green acknowledged others privately agree — but aren’t ready to act publicly. “Sometimes,” he said, “it is on some issues better to stand alone than not stand at all.”

And then he invoked history.

“Dr. King went to jail for taking a stand. Rosa Parks went to jail for taking a stand,” Green said. “There are times when you have to confront him face to face.”

As for being ejected — for the second year in a row?

“The consequences were of no consequence to me,” he said. “I would not allow the consequences to prevent me from doing what I believe is a righteous thing to do.”

Green says Trump needed to see the message “up close.”

Whether others follow his lead remains to be seen. But one thing is certain: Al Green has made it clear he’d rather be escorted out standing tall than sit quietly while, in his words, the Constitution is being shredded.

BREAKING: The image says everything. After six more weeks of winter, Punxsutawney Phil has been reassigned to SEPTA duty. No burrow. No excuses. Just a bus, six inches of snow, and a city that does not care.

Eyewitnesses say he’s been gripping the wheel since Broad Street, running on Wawa coffee, half defrosted pretzels, and pure exhaustion. Snow piling up. Routes delayed.

Phil hasn’t smiled once.
Officials insist this isn’t punishment, it’s accountability. He called it. Philly’s riding it.

Pennsylvania the second the word “snow” shows up in a forecast: civilization collapses. We don’t panic, we prepare. Carts loaded like we’re barricading the Turnpike. Milk. Six gallons. Eggs. Enough to open a diner. Bread.We’re carb-loading like we’re personally shoveling I-81.

Meanwhile the groundhog’s smiling at checkout like he knows exactly what he did. The line’s 40 people deep, everyone side-eyeing each other’s dairy supply, and somehow we’re all making French toast for three straight days. This isn’t hysteria. This is Commonwealth survival protocol.

BREAKING: The Five Families of Groundhog Nation convened an emergency dinner tonight at a low-key Italian joint somewhere just off I-80. Insiders say nerves are frayed after yet another “six more weeks” decree, and whispers of a possible “change in leadership” are very real.

At the head of the table sat Don Salvatore “Six More Weeks” Marmotta, calmly tapping a paw against the linen, floating the idea that Phil might want to “spend some time on a nice farm upstate.”

No shadows were cast. No official comments were issued. But if February 2nd pulls another stunt, don’t be surprised if a different fur coat starts making the forecasts.

BREAKING: After calling six more weeks of winter and then delivering one confused, half hearted snowstorm, Punxsutawney Phil’s run is officially over. Sources say the final flurry was the last straw. One bad forecast too many.

Authorities caught up with him on a sunny beach, dressed for the sun. The snow back home finally caught up with him. Phil and his girlfriend were left stunned.

Officials say this isn’t a vacation gone wrong, it’s accountability. He promised winter. Now he will deal with the consequences.

02/24/2026

BREAKING: The image says everything officials won’t. After one forecast too many, Punxsutawney Phil has been relocated to supermax conditions. No beach. No burrow. No media tour. No TV. Not even a weather radio. Just reinforced glass, concrete walls, and silence.

Sources say this storm was the last straw. Six more weeks was one thing. This was unforgivable. Authorities insist Phil will not be allowed to see the snow he influenced, the chaos he unleashed, or the radar lighting up the Commonwealth. No maps. No alerts. No satisfaction.

This isn’t revenge, they say. It’s containment. The forecast has been neutralized. The groundhog is secured. Winter continues but Phil no longer controls it.

I needed this chuckle.

I needed this chuckle.

Reports of nearly 2 feet of snow have come in from the higher elevations in Pennsylvania.

When Bishop Mariann Budde opened the doors of the Washington National Cathedral to Venerable Bhikkhu Paññākāra and the Buddhist monks completing their 2,300-mile Walk for Peace, something extraordinary happened—a moment that transcended faith, ceremony, and expectation.

The heavy oak doors swung wide. Cameras flashed. Dignitaries stood in formal rows. And there, amid the grandeur of the world’s sixth-largest cathedral, the monks stood quietly, heads bowed, feet worn from countless miles, carrying the weight of their journey and the prayers of a world in conflict.

Then, Bishop Budde did something remarkable. She stepped away from protocol, from the scripted introductions, from the pulpit. She walked directly to the monks. She bowed deeply—not as a gesture of conversion, but of recognition, of shared sacredness. She offered a blessing in silence, words spoken only for them, and the lead monk lifted his head, a soft smile breaking across his weathered face. A nod followed, a subtle acknowledgment that in that instant, humanity mattered more than tradition, politics, or borders.

For a few quiet moments, the cathedral became more than stone and organ music. It became a testament to empathy. A reminder that leadership is not always about speeches or authority—it’s about the courage to show respect, compassion, and recognition where it is least expected but most needed.

That exchange lasted seconds. Yet it shattered assumptions about the walls between us. It showed that even in a world divided by faith and ideology, grace can speak louder than doctrine.

The monks eventually took their seats. The liturgy continued. But the image of an Episcopal Bishop bowing before Buddhist pilgrims lingered far longer than the echoes of the organ.

The walk reached its destination. That moment reached something much deeper.

It reminds us: in a world filled with noise, the quiet gestures of understanding and humanity may be the most revolutionary acts of all.

Ancient Wisdom Behind Guiding Star Yoga Therapy

I have been nurse practitioner for 39 years and a yoga practitioner for 20 plus years. My yoga practice started as part of my recovery from a complicated surgery and I found that the combination of postures, breathing, and meditation helped me through recovery and added another dimension to my life providing inner strength and peace.

Growing up in New Mexico left a deep respect for the Southwest Native cultures and stories, in particular the Zuni tribe. The Zuni Bear symbolizes strength, introspection, self-knowledge, protection, journeying and healing. The Bear’s hibernation reminds us of the value of going within. The Zuni Raven is a guide in the exploration of the unknown and a messenger offering us discovery of our inner hidden world. These ancient wisdoms - the strength and healing of the bear combined with the raven as spiritual guide - come together to visually represent my philosophy of being a guide to healing for my clients.

I brought my passion for yoga together with my Christian faith as a certified Holy Yoga instructor in 2013 after finishing my initial 225 hr teacher training. Twice a week I teach Holy Yoga classes at Huntington Court United Methodist Church. In 2018 I finished an additional 300 hr teacher training as part of my yoga therapy education. I am also a part of the teaching community at Grace Yoga and Pilates in Cloverdale, VA. Having completed my MS in yoga therapy, I am now developing an encore vocation bringing it all together to provide holistic care to clients as a yoga therapist.
