I saw some posts querying the sloppy editing of the Trump Arlington photo and had to take a look. I’m guessing a child has been edited out of the shot. Of course the strict prohibition on taking political photos at the National Cemetery has escaped mention by most news entertainment media. And the thumb?!?

US woman spent 43 years in prison because bent cops protected the cop who was the actual murderer. Avoid the USA. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx920kqgkx9o

Humanity isn’t going to change trajectory on destroying the environment.

“At least a quarter of the billionaires registered as delegates at Cop28 made their fortunes from highly polluting industries such as petrochemicals, mining and beef production, a new analysis has shown.
The findings, revealed to the Guardian in an exclusive analysis of the 34 billionaires who are signed up to the UN summit, raise concerns about the influence wielded by ultra-rich, mega-emitters on the world’s efforts to tackle the climate crisis. Together the 34 are worth about $495.5bn.
The high number of billionaires at the conference, along with the many private jets they flew in on, suggests Cop may now be second only to Davos as a gathering point for the world’s ultra-rich, who can meet and potentially influence government leaders and senior politicians and bureaucrats, while making deals with other business owners.” https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/dec/12/one-in-four-billionaire-cop28-delegates-made-fortunes-from-polluting-industries
