On July 3, 2024, twenty or more carpenter bees fell from their little holes in my cabaña, and they died; likely due to the ~ 39°C heat. This suggests that millions of carpenter bees were killed in one day in the surrounding region.

Why the optimism? Four centuries of ugly experience suggests that ruling white society in the USA will always circle back to rules and oppressions against African-Ameicans. Racist policies are more than mere tradition; they're an inherited congenital defect in North America.

This is one of the most consequential Supreme Court decisions in history and 95 percent of Americans will never understand it, they'll just know government can't solve problems and everything will get worse. Which of course will lead to more votes for, yes, Republicans.

The requirement forces Oklahoma teachers to "reference" the role of the Ten Commandments in America's founding, so as a historian & teacher, let me offer this suggestion:
"Although some idiots today insist that the Founding Fathers were inspired by the Ten Commandments, they absolutely were not."

In terms of VA disability benefits for mental disorders, the "Don't Ask/Don't Tell" law made it impossible to seek therapy and impossible to report harassment. The law was itself an aggravating factor that only added to a servicemember's psych problems.

It is impossible to imagine a Republican going public to assert that Trump picked the wrong running mate for 2024. It will be called a genius move, no matter what.
