RussellCattle's JournalAm I right in thinking that the phone call that Trump had with President Zelensky....
....is known to us by a summary of various notes taken by NSA officials in the situation room? Has anyone asked if there is an official transcript, or, better yet, a recording? And if not, why not.
During a discussion about racism on The News Hour (PBS) a guest commentator....
....said that it is racist when you ask someone "where are you from?", if they appear to be foreign in speech or appearance. How do you feel about this? I ask the question all the time because it gives me the opportunity to learn about other people and the places that they have come from. Most immigrants, I think, love their home countries and enjoy telling you about them. I'll admit that I have very occasionally been met with some hesitancy, but I usually say something like "I hope that we've made you feel welcome" and don't believe that I've offended anyone.
Just read that a warehouse fire in Kentucky has destroyed 45,000 barrels....
of Jim Bean whiskey. Was concerned about this until I read further that they currently warehouse 3.3 million barrels in the state.
So the loss was 1.7%.
"ThinkProgress" has a good article on Trump's "Bastille Day" travestry....
....and the harm it does to the military.

Mayor Pete is proposing a program of national service to get one million....
....people involved in solving national issues, like climate change and elder care.
Great idea. How will the right attack this I wonder?

Mayor Pete has a group of Harvard friends that may be...
....his version of "the best and the brightest".
