fwiw: China's national animal symbol is the BEAR.
Now here's something disturbing. I could swear I saw a bunch of cartoons making fun of Xi by depicting him as Winnie the Pooh.
Now ... looking for such images on DDG ... I can hardly find any, and none that are really mocking.
Shhh ... can't make fun of Chairman Xi!
Cheers
The negotiations in Europe last year were described by American and European intelligence officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a clandestine operation, and the Russian. The United States officials worked through an intermediary — an American businessman based in Germany — to preserve deniability. There were meetings in provincial German towns where John le Carré set his early spy novels, and data handoffs in five-star Berlin hotels. American intelligence agencies spent months tracking the Russian’s flights to Berlin, his rendezvous with a mistress in Vienna and his trips home to St. Petersburg, the officials said.

The N.S.A. even used its official Twitter account to send coded messages to the Russian nearly a dozen times.
In early November, three NSA tweets were part of the communications channel. One said: “#NSA inducts 5 #CryptologicPioneers into the Cryptologic Hall of Honor. Learn more about their distinguished service.” Another stated: “People are our greatest assets. The #NSA workforce makes 65 years of service possible #NSA65.” And a third: “23,725 days, 31,164,000 min. 2,049,840,000 sec and counting…At #NSA the mission never sleeps. #NSA65.”
Later that month, a message was sent to the Russians when the NSA account tweeted: “The ADONIS cipher machine replaced WWI-era SIGABA machine. It was one of the first machines to print on-the-fly.”

I remember that but there are more than one Castle Rock. I just thought it was an odd coincidence that there is a Castle Rock in the same zip and has a barn event center and the difference between the two pictures. I am going to try and find the church picture and post.

Very good ‘point’, it does look like a keyhole. It’s a Masonic structure and being the highest point, it correlates with the highest point in a Masonic arch, both being Key-stones.
There are multiple videos of what appears to be a glowing‚ oblong mass — both in the sky and in the water.
Officials from the Federal Aviation Administration say there were no aircraft incidents or accidents in this area at the time. But multiple witnesses reported seeing a large blue object fall out of the sky and into the ocean.

Can POTUS select an acting VP that is in place until confirmed by Congress? I get the feeling it can be done, kind of like it is done with heads of Departments, but it just has never been critical enough *before* to do. Just because there isn’t currently precedent doesn’t mean it couldn’t be done.
I think Grassley is trustworthy. Heads of organizations fear him and his official requests for information, and have for decades.
