Someone's got to take the car keys (and nuclear launch codes) away from Grandpa. He's not all there and in recent days he seems to be losing it fast. (Think King Lear on the heath hurling ketchup packets at the heavens.) My latest. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-doesnt...

Trump Doesn’t Deserve a Nobel Peace Prize. He Needs an Intervention
He’s dangerously unfit. Don’t be fooled by the amusing nuttery—this president’s capacity for catastrophe is immense.

People are losing their jobs. Prices keep climbing. Measles continues to spread. Bird flu is raging. Veterans are getting fired. The stock market is a roller coaster. Our alliances are being shattered. Ukrainian civilians are getting bombed by Russia. Donald Trump is golfing.

Military aid to Ukraine has always been a bargain for the U.S. We degraded Russia’s armed forces and replaced our own stockpiles with brand new weapons, all while brave Ukrainians— not Americans—fought the Russians off. Halting that aid is not only morally repulsive, it’s plain stupid.

The largest purchaser of wine is the Liquor Control Board of Ontario. The shelves of Kentucky whiskey, American beer and California wine are now empty. The LCOBO was doing a brisk business - good news for Canadian, French, Spanish, Australian, Chilean. Sucks for Kentucky and California.

It’s a cliché to say it—and no two historical scenarios offer a perfectly compelling analogy—but what each American is doing now is what they’d be doing were they a German living in Germany and were it 1936-38 There’s no more doubt about who the appeasers or the bad guys are—they’re in the open now

Gardens need to support diverse food sources year-round. Plant a mix of species that attract insects, provide nectar at different times, and create varied habitats.
"For example, to attract insectivorous birds that are urban adaptors, the plant species selected need to attract insects, usually as pollinators and select against providing nectar-rich, year-round flowering cultivars... The structure of the garden is also a critical aspect dictating habitat suitability for different species of birds..."

During his press conference about the American Airlines plane and helicopter crash, Donald Trump has the audacity to say he "put safety first" when he put a hiring freeze on air traffic controllers and illegally got rid of the congressional committee for aviation safety. This man is vile.

Using the tragic plane collision over the Potomac that cost 67 human souls as an occasion to slam DEI hiring was obscene. There’s zero evidence at this point that an underqualified air traffic controller or pilot had any role in this crash.

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence. He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials. It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.
