The world is burning, and the Trump administration wants to make it worse
by Eugene Robinson
The timing of the administration’s proposal to roll back fuel standards is downright villainous.
Look at the non-political news these days: Deadly wildfires burn out of control in parched California. Unusually heavy rains cause devastating floods in parts of Asia. A punishing heat wave kills scores in Japan, South Korea and normally temperate parts of Europe, pushing the mercury into the 90s in Scandinavia. Can anyone fail to see a pattern?
With increasing confidence — and growing alarm — some leading climate scientists attribute this summer’s bizarre weather to human-induced global warming. Meanwhile, the Trump administration wants to make it all worse. This week we saw a juxtaposition of events that you couldn’t make up. On Wednesday, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

White Woman Snatches Protest Sign From Black Woman, Cries to Police When She Gets Punched in the Face
Michael Harriot
Yesterday 11:00am
A white woman found herself participating in the time-honored ritual known as the “catching of hands” when she decided to boldly go where few Beckysapiens have dared to go before by publicly disrespecting an angry black woman.
It all began when a white woman, who closely resembles a gallon jug of whole milk, decided to wander into a Black Lives Matter demonstration as crowds gathered to protest the shooting of Thurman Blevins, a black man who was shot and killed while running away from police.
The white woman tried to walk through the protesters because … well, that’s kinda what white people do. Genetic biologists have theorized that melanin deficiency also comes with a lack of the “step aside” gene common in most other human beings. But the Amber-American likely had no idea that this particular crowd was composed of people who had an abundance of the “not today” gene.
So when the Dusty Rhodes-looking woman decided to snatch the sign of a random black woman protester, the obviously community-minded black woman decided to take the opportunity and address hunger in the white community by promptly delivering a two-piece fist sandwich directly to Sally Sign-Snatcher’s mouth.
LOL. Posted this the other day. Dion’t come for a SISTA, UNLESS SHE SENDS FOR YA!
These laws were NEVER FOR US!!!
Of course, the NRA is mute too…

Woman Shot and Killed Abusive Husband In Driveway, Now Faces Murder Charges Even Though Alabama is a ‘Stand Your Ground’ State
Breanna Edwards
Today 8:42am
We all know who “stand your ground” laws protect, so perhaps it is not surprising that a 38-year-old black Selma, Ala., woman is behind bars and facing murder charges despite the fact that she insists she shot and killed her estranged husband in self-defense.
Jacqueline Dixon fired the fatal shot at her husband, 44-year-old Carl Omar Dixon, on Tuesday morning. Carl Omar Dixon was found unresponsive in the front yard of the home and was pronounced dead at the scene, AL.com reports.
Jacqueline Dixon was taken into custody at the scene. She told officers that her husband had charged at her in an aggressive manner when she fired what Police Chief Spencer Collier described as a small-caliber handgun.
Interestingly enough, Coller and the Dallas County District Attorney Michael Jackson acknowledge that Jacqueline Dixon did have an order of protection from abuse against her husband, however, according to authorities, she did not seek to enforce the order at times.

Arrested, jailed, charged with a felony — for voting.
By Jack Healy Updated 8:00 am PDT, Friday, August 3, 2018
GRAHAM, N.C. — Keith Sellars and his daughters were driving home from dinner at a Mexican restaurant last December when he was pulled over for running a red light. The officer ran a background check and came back with bad news for Sellars. There was a warrant out for his arrest.
As his girls cried in the back seat, Sellars was handcuffed and taken to jail.
His crime: Illegal voting.
“I didn’t know,” said Sellars, who spent the night in jail before his family paid his $2,500 bond. “I thought I was practicing my right.”
Sellars, 44, is one of a dozen people in Alamance County in North Carolina who have been charged with voting illegally in the 2016 presidential election. All were on probation or parole for felony convictions, which in North Carolina and many other states disqualifies a person from voting. If convicted, they face up to two years in prison.

The problem that I’ve always had with him is that, if you want to spend millions on the Democratic side…the money needs to be spent on voter registration and getting Voter IDs in those voter suppression states. Just seems like a vanity project by him, and we don’t need those vanity projects on our side. We got work to do.

Is anyone else excited to go see Christopher Robin this weekend? I’m totally psyched for it.
I’ll see it at some point. I’ll bet Peanut is too. Are you taking her?
I won’t be taking her to see it, but if I like it, I’ll go see it a second time with her.
This was so funny. I loved this story.
