It's alarming that an unhinged demagogue is vandalizing our country. But one person isn't doing this damage. Many people are. Completely rational people in positions of power are betraying their country to become even wealthier than they already are. It's the definition of filthy rich.

A very positive sign that, nearly a year after Kirk's death, many if not most of the people punished for speaking truthfully about him have won legal cases against their former employees and compensation. Again, panicked compliance with Trumpism has only *cost* institutions.

U.S. Homes Show Three-Decade Decline in Indoor Water Use
Decades ago, before it was much of a concern, water moved through the average U.S. home in enormous quantities. Toilets pulled 3.5 gallons per flush or more. Washing machines filled like tiny swimming pools. Water flowed and flowed. Things have tightened considerably since then. New data shows that U.S. homes are becoming ever more efficient in their water use. Between 1999, when the first residential end-use study was released, to the…

Remember Yogi Berra, for example, who was shot through the hand as a boat pilot at Omaha Beach. He never applied for the Purple Heart as not to worry his mother. The next day he helped clear the beach of bodies. He was asked how this affected him. He replied, "Baseball ain't hard."

These two male Ruby-throated Hummingbirds battled for control of the feeder last night for at least 2 hours before dark. When I raised the shades this morning they were already battling and have been at it for the last 3 hours. Adding another feeder did no good. Now they’re spar over both of them.

The #Phillies are on pace to win 53 games this season. Do I think they will break out of their slump? I sure hope so. In 1961 they only won 47 games. I was 11 yrs old and distraught. Now I’m just disappointed. Too many other things to be distraught about.

Veterans who still support Trump after his attack on the Robert Mueller need to get your heads out of your asses. He has shown his utter disdain for those who have honorably served since he came down the elevator. He’s a total coward and will be known as such long after he finally shuffles off.
