Readers may not care to hear about my troubles with this posting, It has become a nightmare. so has been scaled way back. I'd completed it. but left it overnight without posting it, then when I returned this morning, it was all garbled, so had to be discarded, Still, my original title for the post remained. But at age 88, memory does not serve me well, so I cannot fully resurrect what had been written and will certainly post this repeat effort now before the sun goes down.

Trump storms off 'Meet the Press' interview, rips Welker, ABC, CBS, CNN as 'crooked'
The confrontation came after NBC's Kristen Welker pressed Trump on election fraud, California’s vote count, and his proposed 'anti-weaponization' fund.
"Your elections are crooked and you're crooked, and 'Meet the Press' is crooked," Trump told Welker. "You're a one-sided, crooked network."
Trump also called Welker "stupid" and walked out of the meeting.
Is Trump just a poor loser? Or is he now losing his marbles to senile dementia? What is going on?
Trump still displays some political saavy but seems to have lost his moxie as well as his marbles. Or perhaps we are all getting tired of him and his noxious political posturing. He's really been around much too long.
Considerable on-line commentary has characterized Donald Trump as a narcissist, someone who ignores what others think because he considers himself superior and always right. He actually has often referred to himself as a king.
So Donald Trump has recently been described both as a narcissist and a man who considers himself a king. The 2 conditions often co-exist. Narcissists think they are superior to others and exaggerate their own abilities. Google offers this definition: "A narcissist is a person characterized by an excessive preoccupation with themselves, an inflated sense of self-importance, and a profound lack of empathy for others."
(That does seem to describe Donald Trump to a T..)
=======================================================================
Trump has now announced that he wants to "denaturalize" more US citizens, mainly those not actually born here, in a rarely used procedure., With the borders closed, there are fewer "illegals" coming in that he can actually deport, so this is an alternative..
Some are now being accused of comitting immigration fraud. Others are said to lack "good moral character." Still others have been accused of using false identities. Acting Attorney General Todd Blance has annouced there would be "zero tolerance" for "abuse of the naturalization process." Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin also declared the Justice Department would "continue to use every lawful avenue to dematuralize and remove aliens."
Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, has also threatened to send "more ICE agents then you've ever seen" to New York city." (The Guardian)
U.S. launches largest-ever effort to denaturalize citizens accused of fraud
The Trump administration has sought to vastly escalate denaturalization efforts as part of its larger crackdown on both illegal and legal immigration.

Trump & Netanyahu are at odds over war they started together.
AP, Trump had publicly warned Israel not to strike Beirut in its war with Iran-backed Hezbollah militants. When it did, on Sunday, Iran responded by firing ballistic missiles at Israel for the first time since the April ceasefire. Israel then struck Iran, with which Trump has been engaged in weeks of high-stakes negotiations.The fighting has since died down, but the differences between the two leaders are likely to persist.
That’s because Trump, whose party faces elections later this year, wants to wind down an unpopular war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz to ease gas prices. Iran says a full ceasefire in Lebanon is key to any deal. Netanyahu, who also faces elections this year, is under pressure to stop Hezbollah’s attacks and prove that he is winning the war with Iran and its allies.

Part of the lost post featured sea creatures typically found off the California coast. I don't remember much at all, but here's one snippet.
Whales & Dolphins: Gray whales, blue whales, and humpback whales regularly migrate past the California coast. Coastal waters are also home to pods of Pacific white-sided dolphins, harbor porpoises, and the easily identifiable Dall's porpoise.
And here was another item from the lost post. What is it?
Now it's 7:30 pm here is West Virginia. so I need to post this now before night falls.
