In the 1640's the Dutch inhabitants of New Amsterdam built a 12' wall to keep the bad guys out.  The British ignored the wall and took New Amsterdam by sea. It's now called New York. They took down the wall and built a street. It's called Wall St.





Drone Wars On The Horizon?
Federal regulators announced plans Monday to change rules to allow drone operators to fly their unmanned aerial vehicles over populated areas and at night, without having to get special permits


So hard going through the airport today. I looked into the eyes of our workers who deserve better. A TSA officer said: "Don't stop fighting. Keep it up."

If I didn't already know that Laura Loomer was white, I would have guessed it after you told me that she jumped a fence and trespassed on someone's private property, went up to the front door and tried to open it and the cops let her walk away un-arrested and in fact still alive. - Jeff Tiedrich




William Barr claims "I will act with the same integrity as I did with the George H. W. Bush administration."

Something Else For Trumpsters To Destroy
The razor company's short film, called Believe, plays on their famous slogan "The best a man can get", replacing it with "The best men can be".

Some have praised the message of the advert, which aims to update the company's 30-year-old tagline, but others say Gillette is "dead" to them.


We need to get past this stupid fast food thing so we can get back to [checks notes] bickering over disposable razor ads. - PopeHat tweet

If Trump isn't a Russian agent, he's sure doing a good imitation of one

TRUMP REPORTEDLY CONFISCATED INTERPRETER’S NOTES TO KEEP PUTIN MEETING DETAILS SECRET
Just days after a bombshell report revealed that the F.B.I. investigated whether President Trump was working on behalf of Russian interests, more troubling details have emerged. Renewed scrutiny of five meetings Trump has held with Russian president Vladimir Putin has revealed surprising efforts to suppress any record of conversations between the two leaders—including Trump personally confiscating an interpreter’s notes.

Peaches?
President Trump: "This is where I ask the Democrats to come back to Washington and to vote for money for the wall, the barrier, whatever you want to call it, it's okay with me. They can name it whatever they can -- name it Peaches." 






Looks like a lot of America has already built a wall…around their hearts.  (Conan drops mic, ascends to heaven) - Conan O'Brien
