The Stones, the Prezznit

[Jarmo Koponen, a senior Finnish correspondent and Russia expert agreed: “Putin has been -trained to be a mastermind of human souls, he is a specialist, so he’s really got Trump by the balls!” Koponen told The Daily Beast.]    https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-just-fell-for-a-classic-kgb-trick

Kaepenick contra Cutler

[Why do billionaire football team owners give a flying fig what President Dummkopf says?

The answer should be obvious. It’s not fear of Trump. It’s that they are Trump. Billionaires are not allies in the fight against the white-supremacist, anti-labor aims of this administration. They are the beneficiaries. This has gotten twisted in recent months, as people have been grateful for the diverse, proudly political voices that ESPN has hired in recent years, as well as the sight of NFL owners backing their players after Trump’s abhorrent Huntsville, Alabama, speech, where he called NFL protesters “sons of bitches.”  (emphasis added)]

Charter Schools Fail More; not worth the money robbed from public schools

[For years, Florida politicians have trashed public schools, describing them as “failures.”

Traditional public schools get it wrong, they say.

Charter schools get it right, they say.

We need to take money away from “failing” traditional schools and give more of it to charter schools, they say.

Yet when school grades were released this past week, not a single traditional school in Orange County received an F.

Five charter schools did.

Yes, every single “failing” school in Orange County was a charter school.]

Talk about your just desserts; Poachers eaten by lions.

[A pride of hungry lions in a South African reserve just saved the day, at least for a herd of rhinos. The poachers, who had illegally entered that reserve with a gun and axe to kill those rhinos, were not so lucky.

The big cats mauled and killed at least two — possibly three — poachers, leaving behind just their bloodied and partly-eaten body parts, according to news reports.

The illegal entrance and subsequent mauling attack happened at the Sibuya Game Reserve sometime between Sunday night (July 1) and Monday morning (July 2), according to a statement by the reserve.]  https://www.livescience.com/62998-lions-kill-rhino-poachers.html]
