Since Trump returned to the White House in January, the shortage of air traffic controllers has only grown. That’s due in no small part to wholesale firings as well as the coerced resignation and retirement of federal workers—including important FAA safety specialists

So. . . they're arresting judges now. Not appealing verdicts. No. Arresting and placing in jail those whose verdicts they disagree with. It's an unprecedented attack on the judiciary.

Jane, folding laundry on the couch. Hank sitting close by, staring at her.
Jane: You looking for your ball?
Hank stands and wags.
Jane: Your ball is upstairs by the bed. Go up and get it!
Hank bounds upstairs. In seconds, he trots back down with the ball in his mouth.
Jane: Clever dog!

I don't watch Fox "News," and I never will. But I'll admit to being slightly curious as to how they're reporting on their former employee's disastrous administration of our nation's defense department.

Someone help me out because I'm curious. Has DJT embarked on ANY official trips to Europe or Asia since taking office? I seem to remember that convicted felons are not allowed to visit foreign heads of state, but I could be wrong. Thanks in advance.

Anyone know if Trump has made any oversea trips to any foreign nation since his installment into the U.S. presidency? Can convicted felons travel internationally? Thanks in advance.

It was our usual late-Sunday-morning stroll along the Esplanade in Redondo Beach. From afar, we watched a man coming toward us. He was pushing a wheelchair. Sitting in the wheelchair was an elderly woman - likely his mother.
