A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt
I doubt that anyone does not really believe in God. People may think they don’t have any belief, but you will usually find that somewhere down in a human being’s soul there is a belief in something beyond himself.

Column (1956-08), “If You Ask Me,” McCall’s Magazine, Vol. 83

The government's spending on harming nature
"For the first time, research published this year, identified 36 federal subsidies worth $26.3 billion annually that are potentially harmful to biodiversity. Fossil fuel subsidies alone account for $14.1 billion. It is extraordinary the Australian Government believes it can exclude fossil fuel subsidies on the basis of a technicality. Meanwhile, independent estimates place federal biodiversity conservation spending at below $1 billion annually. "
"The arithmetic is stark: the government spent more than $26 billion a year on harming nature, less than $1 billion conserving it. No government serious about halting biodiversity loss would preside over such an imbalance and say they were “on track”. >>

The White House Correspondents' Association is continuing its recent cowardly practice of refusing to let a comedian speak at their event. A coward named Eugene Daniels, who led the WHCA, hired and then fired comedian Amber Ruffin who was scheduled to perform there last year. He apparently was afraid of angering Trump.

Eric Schultz: "And yet the White House Correspondents' Association is 'happy' Pres. Trump will be headlining its annual press dinner."
