Sunday, July 8, 2018

And another day of threats, trade wars, rainfall, and freaked-out Americans comes to a close:

“In a fascist system, it’s not the lies that count but the muddying. When citizens can’t tell real news from fake, they give up their demands for accountability bit by bit.” -- Naomi Wolf

Kids as young as 1 in US court, awaiting reunion with family. Read that again: As young as 1.

GOP Enthusiasm Fueled By Trump Could Undercut Democrats' Midterm Hopes.

The Trump administration made trade threats to Ecuador over…breastfeeding. The United States threatened to hit Ecuador with retaliatory trade measures and to pull military aid over the South American country proposing an international resolution that encouraged breastfeeding. The US eventually agreed to the resolution — when Russia backed it. You read all of that correctly. Health of its citizens is not important to this administration.

U.K. woman dies after exposure to same nerve agent used to poison a former Russian spy and his daughter earlier this year.

Freaked-Out Americans Desperately Seek to Escape the News. Camping trips, home renovation shows and even a film about Mr. Rogers help citizens tune out what most are calling the nation’s lowest point in history. Yep. Sometimes even I have to walk away for a little bit.

Trump’s trade war is wreaking havoc on the dairy farmers he says he wants to help.

Within a 72-hour period, 93 locations in Japan reported record rainfall. Millions of people were advised to evacuate their homes.

An 11-year-old girl from the Czech Republic was born with genes that came almost entirely from her father, instead of half from each parent. Only about 25 people in the world — all girls — have been reported with this genetic syndrome.

Uranus Has Experienced A Colossal Pounding. Seriously? You couldn’t come up with a better headline? Regardless, the information is pretty cool.

“You’re only given a little spark of madness. You mustn’t lose it.” -- Robin Williams

Life’s short. Live, love, create, and help others.

Until next time, my friends. Good night.
