Juggling Dynamite

Present political antics in the Trump cabinet remind of the childhood chant, “I am rubber you are glue, words bounce off me and stick to you.”  The result is a cartoon-like spectacle of nut jobs running the asylum.  Time for adults to step in and enforce some rules here.  The only hope is to demand transparency and public hearings of all evidence.  Everyone sane, knows this.  Allowing figureheads to keep hiding information and quashing due process is anarchy.  Dear America, please get a grip.  The world is watching.  See After Comey, Justice must be served:

Firing Comey without recognizing the obvious conflict-of-interest inherent in the decision reflects Trump’s modus operandi: refusing to release his tax returns, refusing to sufficiently distance himself from his business interests, refusing to rein in family members who are profiting from the Trump name and connections. When elected officials refuse to be bound by the ethical practices and norms that we have come to expect of them, it’s up to the public — and their representatives — to hold them accountable. This is only the beginning.

Environmental Defence Fund is driving a conservation movement on America’s farms and ranches through the Monarch Butterfly Habitat Exchange. Every $35 donation sponsors one acre of habitat to help support the revival of monarchs. See how here.

In just two decades, the monarch butterfly population has plummeted by a heartbreaking 90 percent, primarily due to the loss of critical milkweed habitat. In this video, you’ll meet the Duncansons – a Minnesota farming family that has turned milkweed from a liability into an opportunity. “This is an opportunity, but it’s also a responsibility—to leave the land, the animals we produce, in better shape than how we found them,” explains Kristin Weeks Duncanson. Watch to learn why farmers and ranchers like the Duncansons are the monarch butterfly’s best hope for a thriving future. Here is a direct video link.

Many people believe there is a point at which one makes so much money, they must be able to afford anything and everything.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  Life lesson number one:  if our bucket is full of holes, it doesn’t matter how much is poured in, we can still wind up empty.

The Johnny Depp saga offers warnings for everyone.  Lack of personal discipline, overspending, debt and bad financial advice:  classic ingredients for financial implosion.   See Johnny Depp:  A Star in Crisis.  The insane story of missing millions.
