This weekend here in northern Indiana we have experienced temps in the high 80’s as drought conditions worsen. Add in high winds and low humidity and we are at risk of difficult to control brush fires. This is climate change impacting your life.

Maybe Qatar can give us an air traffic control system to match the plane with which they’re bribing our president?

Trump’s plan to set up a military parade on his birthday that he will watch from a review stand is a waste of taxpayer dollars. Let’s celebrate the Army’s anniversary, not Trump’s 79th birthday.
