Trump’s worldview is one of winners and losers. Always has been. His new National Security Strategy picks Russia, China, authoritarians, his friends and his family as the winners. Do you know who Trump decided the losers are? You and your family and our safety.

Rapid apple decline has afflicted orchards in several regions of the U.S. in recent years. A new study in North Carolina finds fungus-growing beetles are often associated with rapid apple decline, but they do not appear to be a primary culprit, and a variety of other factors are likely at play.

People should not act surprised, especially the right wing and anyone who voted for Trump.
We warned them. They did not listen. And now they choose to forget.
Don't let them.
