From Trump to Johnson, nationalists are on the rise backed by billionaire oligarchs

"The killer clowns offer the oligarchs something else too: distraction and deflection. While the kleptocrats fleece us, we are urged to look elsewhere. We are mesmerised by buffoons who encourage us to channel the anger that should be reserved for billionaires towards immigrants, women, Jews, Muslims, people of colour and other imaginary enemies and customary scapegoats. Just as it was in the 1930s, the new demagoguery is a con, a revolt against the impacts of capital, financed by capitalists."

Interesting. And I've never heard of these towns except for Clear Lake. I guess there's a good reason.

A top USDA scientist quits, following others who say the White House has politicized science - POLITICO

"The average child today spends less than three years playing a sport and quits by age 11, according to a new survey of sports parents conducted by the Aspen Institute and Utah State University.

On top of that, only 28% of kids aged 6 to 12 played team sports on a regular basis in 2018, down from 45% in 2008, per the Sports & Fitness Industry Association.
Why it matters: For parents who see the benefits of their kids playing sports and for a nation in the midst of a childhood obesity epidemic, keeping kids active is extremely important.
The money problem: According to the survey, three of the main reasons kids quit sports are (1) a lack of fun, (2) bad coaches and (3) financial pressure." Axios

I play golf because my Mom used Lake Chabot GC as cheap babysitting during the summers in the 1960's. I love golf but young people don't because like musical instruments and martial arts, you don't master it in 15 minutes.

Abolish ICE

Blood on their hands.
ICE goes after Iraqi national who was born in Greece, spent most of his life in US, doesn't speak Arabic and never been to Iraq.
But once sent there, he couldn't integrate, get insulin for his diabetes and has so died.

So in fairness, looks like they worked to correct this fairly quickly (not that leaving those kids stranded even for a few hours is a good thing).

On the same date in history as the Sharon Tate Murders:

50 years ago today, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr held up traffic on the zebra crossing outside their recording studio in north London to get the cover shot for the album, Abbey Road. Axios



...and lest we forgot:

How long before we have another mass shooting?

Police in Springfield, Missouri, arrested a man on Thursday afternoon after he walked into a Walmart armed with a rifle, over 100 rounds, and wearing body armor.

Daily homicides dwarf the 'mass' shootings, mostly by handguns and other weapons, but Leftists can't bear to be concerned about them because actual lives don't matter, only the platform to politicize tragedy.
