ROLLING STONES ARE BACK - DID THEY EVER LEAVE?

GO NUCLEAR

Does the United States Senate overstate their importance? A proposed rule change which will allow the Supreme Court nominee to be appointed without the customary 60 votes is said to be the nuclear option.  Here's why this is great for conservatives. Sometimes the Senate will be in the hands of the liberal Democrats and sometimes, as now the Senate will be in the hands of the Republicans. Republicans always play nice and although they tend to disagree with the politics of the liberal hacks that they must approve - they don't fight the President and they (mostly) vote to approve. Right now the Democrats are making noises that they will not play nice with President Trump's nominee and vote for Gorsuch. Great. Fantastic. No Problem. In the future, the Republicans can nominate the most conservative person they can find, and the Democrats won't be able to stop them. On the other hand, the Democrats will never be able to nominate someone more left than someone like Justice Sotomayor - because such a person doesn't exist. If they supported Raul Castro for the Supreme Court (putting aside for the moment that he is a Cuban citizen), how would his rulings differ from the four Democrat hacks that already vote left on every issue? I'll give you as much time as you need to ponder this...   Go Nuclear.

8 mile hike FRICK PARK, Pittsburgh, Pa	132	1,249

I spent just one day in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and before I left to scoot back into Ohio, I visited Frick Park and finally took an actually hike in actual woods and while on my hike I saw an actual deer. I don't run into deer too often during my 'urban hikes' in Chicago. It was good to be back on a true wooded path. My fitbit recorded that as part of my hike I climbed the equivalent of 124 floors. There was a lot of ups and downs during my eight mile trek.
