Might be my favourite conclave article so far. Primarily because it discusses the installation of the chimney & furnace along with the chemicals that result in the generation of black or white smoke. It also mentions the time when they messed up and made grey smoke, which was both confusing & epic.

“To say no to President Trump would be to say no to God.”

Meet televangelist Paula White, who Donald Trump just appointed to lead the White House ‘Faith Office.’

This is not normal.

Democrats should stop mocking Trump’s ground game and start learning from it
Cable ads and bussed-in volunteers don’t cut it any more. If the party wants to win, it must engage voters in a collective push for change

The US gave Israel 30 *extra* days to follow international law. Israel instead made things worse, per 8 humanitarian orgs.

The failure gives politicians even more room to say "enough is enough—no more weapons to Israel."

Even then—only 7 senators so far have announced supporting some form of this.
