Ace:

 At first, I found it galling in the extreme that Trump's magnificent Mount Rushmore speech was smeared as "divisive" by the Democrat-Media Complex as well as quite a few flunkies and traitors among the cuck-servative set. But, as the saying goes, you take the most flak when you're right over the target. How could defending the greatest nation and society (warts and all) that has and will ever exist in history, be divisive unless one believes the exact opposite? As I stated yesterday, no other president or Republican leader in my lifetime, with maybe the exception of Reagan, ever defended the nation so forcefully and eloquently when it was under direct assault from internal enemies as Trump did.

Scolding Beachgoers Isn’t Helping. People complain that going to the shore is a careless act during a pandemic, but the science so far suggests otherwise.

As COVID-19 Cases Surge, Daily Deaths and the Case Fatality Rate Continue To Fall. Expanded testing, a younger mix of patients, and improved treatment help explain the seemingly contradictory trends.

Around here, this was the weekend when many birds left their nests and scattered around begging their parents for food.

There is a fledgeling Catbird out my window right now in the rose bushes, asking Mom and Dad for a bug or two.  We have fully-spotted Robins, still with their wide mouths, on the lawn. A bunch of tiny House Wrens in the shrubbery. A fledgeling Cardinal in a Holly tree. Four baby Barn Swallows, sitting in a line on a dead branch. Noisy baby Grackles on the lawn and fledgeling Crows cawing for food in the treetops.

And, down the lane, two fledgeling Ospreys exercising their wings on a high nest, preparing for their first adventures.
