Trump Doesnโ€™t Deserve a Nobel Peace Prize. He Needs an Intervention Heโ€™s dangerously unfit. Donโ€™t be fooled by the amusing nutteryโ€”this presidentโ€™s capacity for catastrophe is immense.

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...

Pro-Ukraine protesters are gathering in Washington D.C.

More of this, please!

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 Russiaโ€™s armed forces and replaced our own stockpiles with brand new weapons, all while brave Ukrainiansโ€” not Americansโ€”fought the Russians off.

Halting that aid is not only morally repulsive, itโ€™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.

Dan Crenshaw: "There is absolutely no way that Donald Trump will be seen -- he will not let himself go down in history as having sold out to Putin. He will not let that happen." (Bookmark this one.)

Itโ€™s a clichรฉ to say itโ€”and no two historical scenarios offer a perfectly compelling analogyโ€”but what each American is doing now is what theyโ€™d be doing were they a German living in Germany and were it 1936-38

Thereโ€™s no more doubt about who the appeasers or the bad guys areโ€”theyโ€™re in the open now

For all the unfair characterizations of women as being subpar โ€œDEIโ€ hires, most of the BEST managers I've ever reported to were women.

I can think of TWO highly-qualified Women in particular who aren't convicted felons who would be a TRILLION times better than the buzzard in the Oval Office.

2. Your Pet Could Be Part of the Problem (But There's a Solution)

The impact of domestic pets on urban birds is staggering. Cats may look cute, but they're also deadly, killing birds in their millions. Dogs are less lethal,

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.

Canadians booing the U.S. national anthem isnโ€™t something I ever thought Iโ€™d see, but this is what happens when you let a psychopath criminal with isolationist and protectionist policies back into the White House.

Using the American Airlines/Blackhawk helicopter tragedy to trash Obama and Biden and praise himself is as malicious as it is typical of this narcissist. โ€” Shame on all of you who voted for Trump as President. This monster and his actions will be your responsibility. Forever.

Ummm what?

Last week, this imbecile FIRED the heads of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) & the Coast Guard, & disbanded the Aviation Security Advisory Committee

This week an American Airlines passenger jet has collided midair with a black hawk helicopter

Flying is less safe now
