Our daughter and her husband's float in the Berthoud Parade of Lights 12-6-26. Several years ago she bought a francise to hang holiday lights. They have done quite well with that venture, one of many they own. Side note: our daughter organized the parade. #Parade #HolidayLights #BerthoudColorado

Here's a better headline for Axios: "How Trump has normalized racism and racist slurs." Why can't some journalists just call a thing what it is? https://loom.ly/hiKWr58

Fog of war.
Self-defense.
Just wanted to sink the boat.

Front view of our daughter's home. It looks beautiful, but it helps that they own a Christmas light hanging business in Berthoud. They also put lights on the businesses in town. #HolidayLights #BerthoudColorado

Trump underestimated lower federal courts, the single biggest obstacle to his autocratic ambition. He suffered humiliating court defeats on repealing birthright citizenship, deploying National Guard to Chicago,etc. The list of Trump defeats grows longer by the day

It's the opposite of "the buck stops here". He is selling out Admiral Bradley and sending chills down the spines of his chain of command, who now know their boss will sell them out if he is taking heat. A case study in how not to lead.

Heaven forbid we should try to rectify climate change. tRump has renamed Colorado's National Renewable Energy Lab. "The iconic research hub, first launched during the 1970s, is now known as the Nat. Lab. of the Rockies thus excising any mention of renewable energy."
