5/25/17: At a NATO summit in Brussels, Trump shows his class by shoving aside the Prime Minister of Montenegro so he can get his scowling mug in every photo.
He then refuses to commit to Article 5, which holds that an attack on any member of the NATO Alliance is considered an attack on all and all signatories will come to that nation’s aid.

5/26/17: Appalachian Power, the lead utility in West Virginia, says it will increase reliance on wind, solar and other renewables and natural gas.

It has closed three coal-fired plants, which maybe you can blame on President Obama, but also converted two to natural gas, which you can’t.
Eighty solar panels on the roof.
Almost half of all Fortune 500 companies have in place clean-energy goals, including 23 that expect to run on 100 percent renewable energy in the future. That includes Walmart.
At a recent meeting, Chris Beam, president of Appalachian Power admitted he was in talks to buy, build or lease as many wind and solar farms as possible across Virginia and West Virginia.
Even the Coal Museum in Kentucky
recently installed 80 solar
panels on its roof to cut costs.

Trump is poised to renounce American leadership
of the Free World.
