Hello again

 

……                        The Silversword is found only in one place on earth, in Hawaii's Haleakala National Park. 

Here's my daughter Stephanie, a biologist with the National Park Serrvice, talking about the lovely but very rare Silversword.

A Nobel Peace Prize for Trump? World leaders are lining up,

                [Will that prize, include a gold trophy, as Trump really likes gold?]

Mr Trump does seem fond of gold objects. Will he take them all with him when he leaves the White House? 

CNBC’s "All-America Economic Survey‚" announced on Thursday, revealed that Trump’s overall economic approval rating remains negative. He also stands in the net negatives among key issues, including his handling of tariffs, inflation and federal spending...Per the poll, Trump’s job approval rating is 46%, with 51% disapproving. On his handling of the economy, 45% of respondents are in support, while 53% are in opposition.

Remember folks, we still have 3 1/2 years left to go. 

Planned Parenthood is way behind times with its current ad: "abortion, abortion, abortion." Abortion may have once been considered trendy, back when births outside of marriage were stigmatized and before humankind needed to produce even more babies. This is just Malthus in reverse, when the birth of as many babies as possible is needed by our aging world, something now being encouraged with bonuses and financial support regardless of the marital or relationship status of the mother. Yet, worldwide, the actual number of births is barely keeping ahead of deaths. Humankind hardly needs a shrinking population, top-heavy with oldsters like myself. So young women need to start getting pregnant now and not stop after the birth of just one baby. Ladies, do your duty!
As said before on these pages, I have never been an "abortion rights" advocate. As both an adoptive and a birth mother, although a registered Democrat, I have always supported the right to anyone's life from its earliest, most crucial, and absolutely necessary stages. Nor do I support the death penalty. 
This is what I found on Google: The phrase "from conception to natural death" refers to the entirety of a human being's life, beginning at the moment of fertilization and ending with the cessation of all vital functions due to natural causesThis concept is often used in ethical and religious discussions, particularly in the context of the sanctity of life, where it emphasizes the inherent value of each human life from its beginning until its natural end.
