Trump Has Given Up On The Pandemic-- The World Has Given Up On Trump
*Opposition Research by Nancy Ohanian* Señor Trumpanzee has officially reached out to crazy right-wing governor Kristi Noem (R-SD) to find out what the process is for getting his likeness added onto Mount Rushmore. I'm not joking. I wonder how long it would take to dynamite it. Trump, apparently, doesn't understand it is supposed to represent the greatest and more admired American presidents, not the worst and most despised president. Last week, the U.S. breezed through the 5 million confirmed cases mark. Because of Trump and his enablers another 63,246 cases were confirmed on Frid... more »

Defending the sacred place
The indigenous Hawaiian people probably do 'protesting' as well as anyone I've seen. They connect the issues to the spirit world and use traditional dance and song as a key part of their expression. It helps unify and inspire one another in a good way. I lived in Hawaii for 18 months while in the Air Force and got a tiny bit of exposure to the traditional people so when I watch videos like this one it touches me to my core. Bruce

They also found a bipolar outflow, a pair of gas streams that could be telltale evidence of a truly newborn star. ... more »
