"I've been traveling a little bit over the past few days, and as many of us have seen, I noticed the giant American flags to the side of the highways or in front of car dealerships. How everything seems to have a patriotic fervor that is over the top. It's all about celebrating America's 250th anniversary. and this hyper patriotism almost feels mandatory.
Upon seeing all of these things, I now realize that I am not nearly as patriotic as I used to be.
Now, I don't mean that I still don't appreciate the freedoms that we enjoy in America or the blessings that God has given us, but I now understand how America has become intertwined with Donald J.

A clip from President Donald Trump's Friday agriculture roundtable in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, spread quickly online, with critics saying it showed the president struggling to recall the name of the Washington Monument.

A second case of the flesh-eating screwworm fly has been confirmed in Texas by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), days after an initial case in a one-year-old calf set off an aggressive response to stop the spread of the parasite in the dominant cattle-producing state. Texas's governor, Greg Abbott, said on Friday that state officials were working with the federal government to slow the spread of the fly and the infestations caused by larvae that feed on the living flesh of warm-blooded animals and humans. Officials are dispersing millions of sterile screwworm flies in the vicinity of where the twin infections were found about five miles apart in Zavala county, south-west of San Antonio. Those sterile male flies would prevent wild female flies from reproducing.

Donald Trump and his congressional allies are escalating attacks on California's election system, demanding investigations into the state's slow vote count and accusing Democrats of rigging the results of this week's primaries.

In an open letter, Green Party leader Zack Polanski and Your Party leader Jeremy Corbyn have called for the British government to investigate approximately 2,000 British-Israeli dual nationals that served in the IDF during Israel's pogrom in Gaza, which a UN commission of inquiry concluded is genocide. How many poor Palestinians these ~2,000 Britons may have murdered in Gaza is anyone's guess unless they each confess and the numbers are then tallied up by Scotland Yard.
