My name is Mary. I am 30 years old. I make Putin gifs and some stuff from television and movies. Horror movies are my favorite. I am an Independent. I support LGBT rights, aborition rights, gun rights, energy independence, somewhat strict borders, and medium taxes. I am more of a suburban girl with a tendency of wanting to vacate to the mountains. I prefer animals over humans. Most animals shouldn't be killed for sport. I don't believe in climate change. I don't support what is happening in American schools. I don't support BLM and Antifa. All lives matter. I hate Ukraine and NATO. I don't think that the USA should send foreign aid at the cost of the country. I only appreciate shows for their entertainment. I think most celebrity opinions suck. I like to eat meat, but I won't make fun of vegans or vegetarians. The only time I support illegal drugs is if it benefits the person. Each country is going to be different, so America and China shouldn't be going out trying to impose their views on other countries. I oppose some regime change wars such as Syria and Libya. If you believe misunderstood rumors about me, don't try to suck up to me. Just keep me on your block list.

One of the most wanted species on my list while leading tours was to see a mountain lion. This was my very last scheduled Naturalist Journeys’ tour and it was to one of my favorite places - Patagonia. Trackers in the area that abuts Torres del Paine National Park have been able to track some of the fifteen pumas that roam a private ranch that abuts this park. This is Sol and her single 1yr+ old cub. Many more photos to follow of this now not-so-elusive species to follow…
Momentary Distraction by David & Shiela Glatz

A young, wild male Puma (Puma concolor) has a lot on his mind. This cat, called “Simba” by local guides, was on his own for the first time in his life. His mother “Sarmiento” would tolerate him on her territory for a short time. Then he would have to find a new home, and his own territory away from the dominant male in the area. Biologists call this “dispersal.” Here Simba looks back at the awkward humans as he enjoyed a quiet moment overlooking the valley where he grew up. He would soon be gone, in search of his own territory and a new life.
On March 10, 2004, five months before the Olympic Games, Vladimir Putin invited candidates for the national team to the Kremlin to talk about funding for sports, in particular the national team.
Vladimir Putin: Good afternoon, friends,There are six months left before the Olympics.
Remark: Five months.Vladimir Putin: Five months. Let's discuss anything that you think matters.
Remark: Mr President, we all have a question for you. You are an athlete, and we are athletes. Elections are a competition as well. You are now in the home stretch. How are you feeling? There are other competitors, and the finish line is close...
Remark: Set the example, and we will follow you.
Vladimir Putin: Growing up, my coaches always taught me to be respectful of my competitors. Any competitor. That is something I follow.
On December 23, 2019, the President took part in the opening of the Crimean Bridge to railway traffic. Vladimir Putin ordered via videoconference the departure of the Tavria express passenger train from St Petersburg to Sevastopol.
On August 8, 2008, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin had a meeting with Nursultan Nazarbayev.
"The Georgian leaders’ actions will not remain without response", the Russian Prime Minister said at a meeting with President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev."We are very sorry that such actions took place on the eve of the Olympics. It is a historic tradition to stop all wars during the Olympic Games. What we see here is the opposite: on the opening day of the Olympics the Georgian leadership launched aggressive actions against South Ossetia. As a matter of fact, they started a military operation using heavy armoury, artillery, and recently even tanks. There are many casualties − wounded and killed, among them Russian peacekeepers. It is very sad, and brings up a lot of questions. And certainly it calls for response measures.We would like the members of the Commonwealth of Independent States to give their assessment of these barbarous actions. All of us have to make an effort to stop the bloodshed."
