   At least it’s named after J. Foster Dulles & not his brother Allen! Maybe J. Foster wasn’t quite as bad as Allen? In this instance, naming a major national facility after Trump may actually be an improvement.

   “But THEY were white.” Not that simple. In the South — at least some parts — dark-skinned Italians & their children had to go to the Black kids’ schools. They were NOT seen as white.

   Whew! That was too close for comfort.

   Somewhere recently I read Gingrich being quoted as being upset with the Repubs’ present direction. I couldn’t help being amazed at the irony — he didn’t seem to have a clue that he is largely responsible for it.

   The “I don’t care” jacket was likely intended to send the message that she didn’t care what Trump’s other people thought, when she went to learn for herself about the immigrant detentions. I’ve long thought that she’s been unfairly judged. She is not Donald.

   What I heard — I think it was on NPR — was that some things are going through, but not water. The deal is this: No water for children or elderly in a dry land of 2 million, until a certain group cooperates with us. Yeah, the US looks like a real moral leader in the world.

   I was thinking the same, because the Axis of Evil speech was a historical turning point that caused so much of all this. But the drawing actually looks more like his dad.

   Amazing. I never knew those Microsoft keys, but the system that I invented is almost identical. Using “Perfect Keyboard”, an old freeware, I set it up to that ’ + a = á, etc, but without pressing Ctrl first. I didn’t know of the MS system; I did it independently. It doesn’t always work perfectly, but somehow I found that it works 100% when I click Ctrl first. And now, I learn that this actually was programmed into Windows from the start!

   You missed the sarcasm. Completely.

    Gaza has little clean water. Their water supply is cut off. Chemical treatments to make dirty water drinkable are not allowed into the territory. All the Israelis need to do is keep the borders closed and wait a few weeks. As to whether anyone, anywhere, should accept this as morally justified, that is another matter. Likewise as to Israel’s (and the U.S.’s) standing in world opinion and respect.
