And another day of illegitimacy comes to a close:

“Common sense is not so common.” -- Voltaire

National security adviser John Bolton denounced the legitimacy of the International Criminal Court on Monday and threatened sanctions if the court investigates U.S. troops in Afghanistan. "No committee of foreign nations will tell us how to govern ourselves." Um, like we tell other nations?

President Trump and Republicans are using an impeachment threat as a tool to motivate their base.

I knew Brett Kavanaugh during his years as a Republican operative. Don't let him sit on the Supreme Court. We were part of a close circle of cynical hard-right operatives being groomed for much bigger things.

On abortion, still the most contentious issue before the Supreme Court, Brett Kavanaugh has the same problem that all recent Republican appointees have had: conservatives want to overturn Roe v. Wade but the public, overwhelmingly, does not.

17 years after 9/11, Al Qaeda has amassed the largest fighting force in its existence.

Les Moonves is reportedly out at CBS as more sexual misconduct allegations surface.

Trump Renews Attacks on Kneeling Players as NFL Opts Not to Punish Them. Stop watching the NFL, not because players are protesting--they should!--but because you are getting entertainment from watching people permanently damage their bodies and brains.

Trump will provide written responses to questions in a defamation lawsuit brought by Summer Zervos, a former contestant on "The Apprentice," according to court documents.

“From the state with 84% of the US fresh water but none for its residents!” Miss Michigan called out the Flint water crisis at the Miss America pageant.

Gov. Jerry Brown just ensured all California’s electricity will be emissions-free by 2045.

Living organ donors make up a small fraction of kidney and liver transplants. Some doctors want to change that.

“You have to be smart. The easy days are over.” -- Robert Kiyosaki

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

Until next time, my friends. Good night.
