WWWendy just left, so I feel like Sunday, even though it isn’t.  This is my only article today, and I won’t be sending links messages on Care2.  The heat and smoke fully are back.  After three horrid days, we may get a bit of respite for a few days.  I turned on the news and there’s no doubt.  Oh God!  It IS Monday!

Jig Zone Puzzle:

Today’s took me 3:44 (average 5:03).  To do it, click here.  How did you do?

From YouTube: Giuliani: ‘Truth isn’t truth’

 

On 1/21/2021, if not sooner, Rudy 9/11 can tell his Fuhrer "Unemployed isn’t unemployed. RESIST!! VOTE BLUE!!

From NY Times: As a corporate lawyer, William L. Wehrum worked for the better part of a decade to weaken Air Pollution rules by fighting the Environmental Protection Agency in court on behalf of chemical manufacturers, refineries, oil drillers and coal-burning power plants.

Now, Mr. Wehrum is about to deliver one of the biggest victories yet for his industry clients — this time from inside the Trump administration as the government’s top air pollution official.

On Tuesday, President Trump is expected to propose a vast rollback of regulations on emissions from coal plants, including many owned by members of a coal-burning trade association that had retained Mr. Wehrum and his firm as recently as last year to push for the changes.

The proposal strikes at the heart of climate-change regulations adopted by the Obama administration to force change among polluting industries, and follows the relaxation of separate rules governing when power plants must upgrade air pollution equipment. Mr. Wehrum, who has led the E.P.A.’s clean air office since November, also helped deliver the changes in several of those rules.

It is now permissible for sheeple to choke and wheeze, while goose-stepping. RESIST!! VOTE BLUE!!

From Politico: The team of investigators working on special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation "are looking to impact" this November’s midterm elections, President Donald Trump claimed Monday morning, labeling Mueller’s team a "national disgrace."

Now that’s a case of the obsidian shard calling the ivory gem black. RESIST!! VOTE BLUE!!
