50th Anniversary Outrage
Yesterday, in the presence of Michael Collins and Buzz Aldrin, who didn’t look very happy — in fact, nobody appeared to be pleased — Trump reversed his previous tepid disapproval of the “send her back” chanting at this week’s campaign rally. Doubling down on his original suggestion that Democratic House Representative Ilhan Omar should leave the country, Trump now describes the North Carolina crowd as “incredible patriots.”
I was undecided on whether or not the House of Representatives should vote to impeach Trump, but enough is enough. Pelosi should drop her “moderation in all things” strategy for the 2020 election and do the right thing. Impeach the bum.

That Was Their Finest Hour
D-Day+75 years is tomorrow, and with all of the attention being paid to the invasion itself, I would like to note the contributions of the women in Britain who toiled in the fields. The Women’s Land Army.
PBS Masterpiece ran a beautifully presented and addictive soap opera, Home Fires, about women in a rural village during the war. I was really caught up in it, but the series ended abruptly after the second season.
Clare Calbraith played a farmer’s wife, which meant her character didn’t need to join the Woman’s Land Army, she just had to “carry on.” Clare was nevertheless presented in clothing that was in keeping with the service.
For a view of women working in factories there is the wartime movie “Millions Like Us.” It has strong soap opera elements, which not only make it entertaining, but show what they were fighting for — lives that aren’t lived for the glory of a dictator.
Gotta Draw!
Attorney General William Barr says, “I don’t care what Mueller said about my summary, it’s all good!”
It’s been a very long time since I’ve tried drawing a likeness. Considering that I saw “Avengers: Endgame” today, I’m thinking maybe he looks more like an older version of Jeremy Renner.
