Quotation from Quintillian, I believe (unless someone was fibbing about that too).

Screw him, lion, we have not long vigorous and successful lobbying here to get Gove to conform to EU 💙 an on banning neonicotnoids. My Tory MP was pro as my part of the Midlands is a big market gardening area. The reduction in the numbers of bees is really noticeable In my garden, which is full of bee and butterfly friendly plants and 'hotels'.

'In an article for the Guardian, Gove said: “As is always the case, a deteriorating environment is ultimately bad economic news as well.” He said pollinators boost the yield and quality of UK crops by £400m-£680m every year and said, for example, gala apple growers are now having to spend £5.7m a year to do replace the work of lost natural pollinators.

Gove said the evidence of neonicotinoids’ harm to pollinators has grown stronger since 2013, including a landmark field trial published in July that showed neonicotinoids damage bee populations, not just individual insects, and a global analysis of honey revealing worldwide contamination by the insecticides.'

Here's hoping... (vote is Tuesday)

Democrats Might Just Flip This GOP-Held House Seat In Ohio
Donald Trump is right to be worried.

The latest public poll has Balderson up by a single point, a decline from a 10-point lead he held a month ago in the same survey. In the hopes of changing that dynamic, Trump announced Wednesday that he’ll hold a rally in the district for Balderson on Saturday night.

“If the GOP were to lose this race, who would they blame or what would they blame? It would have to be a reflection on the Republican brand,” said Herb Asher, a political science professor at the Ohio State University.

Asher, who has donated to O’Connor’s campaign, argued that even a narrow Republican win would be “another indication that Democrats are more competitive in districts that have not been hospitable to them.”

⁩ comes to his defense with these kind words....
Ha, really? She's never slow to jump at the chance for a bit of facile and empty virtue signaling, while scoring some points over you know who. Be best at bestingHmm

She has been hiding this light under as very big bushell:
As you know, Mrs. Trump has traveled the country and world talking to children about their well-being, healthy living, and the importance of responsible online behavior with her Be Best initiative. Her platform centers around visiting organizations, hospitals and schools .......

"It looks like LeBron James is working to do good things on behalf of our next generation and just as she always has, the First Lady encourages everyone to have an open dialogue about issues facing children today. As you know, Mrs. Trump has traveled the country and world talking to children about their well-being, healthy living, and the importance of responsible online behavior with her Be Best initiative. Her platform centers around visiting organizations, hospitals and schools, and she would be open to visiting the I Promise School in Akron. "

Hmm

Interesting Hope Hicks just boarded Air Force One - @CNNPolitics
twitter.com/anneclairecnn/status/1025829427798835201?s=21

WITNESS TAMPERING IN 5 STEPS

  1. Trump knows Hicks is a witness in a federal case.
  2. He's been told he mustn't speak to her.
  3. His chief topic in public and private is the Russia probe.
  4. Hicks is on a plane with Trump right now.
  5. Trump is tampering with a federal witness.

2/ When you're under investigation and your lawyers say don't talk to this woman as it creates at best the appearance and at worst the fact of WITNESS TAMPERING, and you then get that federal witness aboard a plane with no witnesses, most will presume you're committing a crime.

Trump masterfaker

After having been in and around U.S. politics now for 25+ years and attended 100s of rallies, what we are seeing now is faked. Fake outrage against media. Faked attendance # + always the same level of anger towards media no matter what city. #Followthemoney to craigslist ads.

Thread continues:

Lastly on this. I am speaking as former advance aide to a President + Vice President. I personally organized dozens of rallies. We controlled image, crowd, backdrops, cutaway shots. We controlled as much as we could. Paying for crowd fillers known campaign trick, on steroids now.

PHILADELPHIA — Before they were separated at the southwest border, Ana Carolina Fernandes’s 5-year-old son loved playing with the yellow, impish Minion characters from the “Despicable Me” movies. Now his favorite game is patting down and shackling “migrants” with plastic cuffs.

At yet another rally (yawn), among his usual hits and misses there was this lovely fact: he destroys the careers of Republicans that say bad things about him.
