april news 2017

Today I'll simply post today's tweets. Or most of them. And only a couple more.

But let's start by marking the birth day of another great American.

Even though we lost another great in April.

This is happening to an even greater degree and still hardly anybody mentions it.
Massive protests in Venezuela intensify throughout this month.
There is a tumult in Macedonia.
There is a nationwide strike as well in Brazil paralyzing traffic and commerce.
A famous American reminds us to also remember how not to do things.
French candidate Marine Le Pen takes another turn to the far right, and looks to alienate more voters.
Massive marches  were widely reported all over the world on behalf of the international climate. Here, a CNN timelapse shows the many who showed up to march today in the sweltering humid heat in DC.

No less an authority than Scientific American can claim things are changing.
Also, this sexy thing came out this month.

Much of the news in the US continues to swirl around what the Trump White House has done or is doing. Simple things like where he is, and, how often he takes off to his resort in Florida on the weekends. Just two weeks ago reports of the 'mother of all bombs', a US GBU-43, was dropped in Eastern Afghanistan in order to combat Daesh or the IS. People at the time thought it made him seem decisive, showing executive authority. A BBC report talks to local Afghani sceptics.
An apt portrait of today's Congressional dysfunction.

There is still an FBI Investigation of international scope concerning the campaign of President Trump. It's not a good look for a sitting president. Not at all.
