What would be really nice for the troops is to be left alone so they can enjoy their long weekend. This will be preceded by several weeks of marching practice and inspections. Contrary to popular belief, marching is not generally a part of the daily of life of people in the military.

The last parade I was in it rained, and ruined many a dress uniform, and took forever. Parades can really suck.
 
Only the best imbeciles people.

"Interior should not be in the business of being an adversary. We should be in the business of being a partner," the former Montana Congressman said in front of representatives from energy companies and oil-producing countries.

Zinke admitted that "certainly oil and gas and coal have a consequence on carbon," but he then slammed wind turbines for their carbon footprint and for killing birds—a notorious charge from his windmill-hating boss in the White House.

...

"Wind turbines kill an estimated 140,000 to 328,000 birds each year, but the biggest threat to birds is climate change," said Garry George, Audubon's director of renewable energy. "More than half of the bird species in North America could lose at least half of their current ranges by 2080 due to rising temperatures."

The Audubon favors properly-sited and operated wind and solar power, as renewable energy sources that help reduce the threats posed to birds and people by climate change.

Nationalist trade adviser Peter Navarro is regaining Trump's ear now that Cohn is gone. Here's what he says about Trump:
“This is the president’s vision. My function, really, as an economist is to try to provide the underlying analytics that confirm his intuition. And his intuition is always right in these matters,” Navarro said.

So, what does he need you for?
 
Trump wants new authority over polling places

President Trump would be able to dispatch Secret Service agents to polling places nationwide during a federal election, a vast expansion of executive authority, if a provision in a Homeland Security reauthorization bill remains intact.

I can hear Trump now: "In order to properly secure the election from improper voting I'm sending my SS to carefully monitor polling places across the nation."
 
I haven't found a source to back it up, but I could swear I just saw on the chyron "TRUMP CONSIDERS HIRING CLINTON IMPEACHMENT ATTORNEY".

A few things. It isn't clear how the provision got in there. Further, it says to provide "protection services." So it isn't clear if this is new power or a restatement that they are the one federal agency to have armed guards there when candidates vote.
 
How does a man--over 70, who's obese, derisively avoids any physical exercise, drinks 12 cans of diet pop a day, eats fast food--avoid being struck down by a cardiovascular event? Surely god is dead.
 
Did anyone else see Trump’s speech last night?

I tuned in part way through.

He sure knows how to play to his crowd. But I thought it was a rambling, smug and self-congratulating mess. Typical for him: insulting others, juvenile name calling, rehashing - yet again - his election victory over Hillary, etc. etc. etc. ad nauseum. Endorsing the PA Republican candidate came late in the speech and was itself Trump-centric.

Crass populism, the likes of which I never dreamed I’d see in my lifetime.
