“We don’t deserve the trust of the nation if we’re unclear about the divisiveness of swastikas,” the official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity due to a fear of reprisal.

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

This is excellent. This is the kind of guidance needed in the face of a lawless regime.

I never saw it coming — hah!
So the NBA, MLB, and NCAA are now all embroiled in major betting scandals.

I can’t wait for nothing to be done about the the actual heart of the issue - the unmitigated proliferation of sports books!

In Princeton the other day, I had a close encounter with this chill ring-billed gull. I walked right past him, and he stayed perched. #Birds

We saw one of our regular Bald Eagle couples on their trip from Alaska to warmer temperatures in the south. They stopped by to inspect the nest they've been using the last few years. One of them left suddenly to go get a stick. Happy #FlyDay! #birds #Raptors #photography #EastCoastKin

It would be really great if somebody, oh, say, the president of the United States, would declare an Opposite Day. Maybe even put it on repeat.

I didn't know what it was at the time, but the white arc of clouds I saw over the Mercer Meadows Pole farm yesterday morning was a fog bow -- similar to but rarer than a rainbow. #WX #Nature

We had California-tule-grade fog in central New Jersey this morning. This was taken as it was lifting at the Mercer Meadows Pole Farm in Lawrence Township.

After the fog lifted, we saw a few birds at the Pole Farm this morning. Robins were all about, including this one. #Birds

This black-capped chickadee settled for just enough time for me to snap its photo. Of the 20 or so frames of chickadees I took this morning, this and one other were in focus. They are quick! #NaturePhotogrpahy #Birds

Yeah, but does he have the stones to forgive the Mets as a whole?
President Trump has approved a pardon for former World Series champion Darryl Strawberry, wiping away the tax evasion conviction of the former star outfielder for the Mets and Yankees.
Trump pardons New York Mets great Darryl Strawberry
In 1995, Strawberry pleaded guilty to a felony after he failed to report $350,000 in income from autographs, personal appearances and sales of memorabilia.
