Meiselas: The official Trump U.S. National Security Strategy document has been released. The document says a top priority of the U.S. is "cultivating resistance to Europe's current trajectory." In other words, to destroy the European Union.

The Nineteenth Amendment
Yesterday, I intended to write about the Nineteenth Amendment prohibiting states from denying women the right to vote because today is the anniversary of the amendment’s certification in 1920.

At $1.2M per mile—$500M total, requiring repainting every ~3 yrs, they’re painting only the north side (our side) of the border wall black to make it “too hot to climb.” Engineers say it makes no difference. To quote Dickens, “The most wasteful of times, the dumbest of times.”
