My answer to Jane
I don’t know Jane, but she’s on my Facebook Friends list—I think through an artist group. Jane responded to one of my posts, Trump is "a threat to our democracy." I see or hear this claim a lot, the media make endless such comments, but with no explanation. So I asked her: Did moving the embassy to the capital of Israel which other presidents promised threaten democracy? Did making changes in the penal system threaten democracy?

Trump Campaign Faces Reality And Gives Up On Arizona
*2020's kiss of death in Arizona* Arizona has been a deep red state for a long time. The only statewide Democrat-- Kyrsten Simena, elected in 2018-- isn't a Democrat by any other standard except that she has a "D" next to her name. By any metric, she's the worst Democrat in the Senate, with a more Republican voting record than Doug Jones (AL) and Joe Manchin (WV), who represent far redder states. But Arizona is plenty red.

They choose from a limited set of options, and they know that change will be punished. Eventually they get old and find time to think, but by then they can’t bear to question too deeply; that would jeopardize their self-worth, and they haven’t time to rebuild it.

Iran Is No Match For The F-35, But Tehran's Air Defenses Steadily Advancing

Benefits Of Schools Having A Year-Round Gardening Program
In the past, gardening played a vital role in our lives. But now most of us buy our food from supermarkets, giving little consideration to where it comes from or how it’s grown.
