7/10/19: U.S. Customs and Border Protection announces that a vessel seized after docking at Philadelphia in June was carrying 20 tons of cocaine, with an estimated street value of $1.3 billion.
This would never happen if we had a big, beautiful wall along
the southern border. (See: 7/12/19.)

TRUMP NATIONAL DORAL makes news when the club cancels a charity golf event in the wake of bad publicity. “The Shadow All Star Tournament” was originally organized by a strip club. The Trump Organization thought it was a good idea. Golfers were going to have a chance to bid on scantily-clad “dancers” to serve as caddies.
When it comes to keeping young women safe, canceling a strippers/golf tournament looks like a good move.
Locking up Jeffrey Epstein forever is a better idea. Jennifer Araoz, 32, comes forward to add fresh accusations against him. She says she was approached by a woman several times outside her high school, when she was fourteen. Epstein, she was told, could help launch her Broadway career. (See: 7/9/19.)
As Time describes it:
Araoz said her first few encounters with
Epstein and the woman at Epstein’s home were friendly – they talked, she was given wine and $300 after every
visit. Eventually she began meeting with Epstein alone, and that’s when the
sexual abuse began, she alleges.
At first, she was paid for stripping down to her underwear
and giving him massages. Soon after she turned fifteen, he held her down
during a visit and raped her. She never returned to his home again.

IN ANY CASE, if Epstein, his enablers, and his powerful friends made America unsafe for teen girls, Trump climate change denials have made Planet Earth unsafe for all 7.6 billion people riding this carousel round the sun.
Fresh warnings of danger are issued when scientists note that the Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica, a glacier the size of Florida, is becoming unstable. It could begin breaking up soon.
The science, if you check the original report, is incredibly complex and could never be explained in a Trump tweet.
 |
The blogger will be honest: He doesn't get this, either. |
The danger, however, is clear from the first sentence of the
report: “We
also find that the collapse of marine ice sheets makes worst-case scenarios
of rapid sea-level rise [emphasis added] more likely in future
projections.”
 |
This one, even Trump might be able to figure out, if he ever stopped tweeting. |

MEANWHILE, CBS NEWS REPORTS that the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) is deserted. The last three staffers left the building June 30. Eleanor Celeste, assistant director for biomedical and forensic sciences, tweeted, “Science division out. Mic drop.”
She included the picture below, before leaving for the last time.
No truth to the rumor that
Trump hopes to create a White House Office of Tweeting and Putting.
