Does it seem like we’ve been hearing about rails-to-trails forever? Sometimes there really IS  an end to the story.  Take a look at this survey from Budget Traveler. It’s right HERE.

And were you worried about  climate change?  Not  to worry, says Our Fake President.  It “goes both ways”. Read about it HERE. 

And if you  want to know how Nancy Pelosi REALLY feels, check out  her  remarks reported HERE.   And for a study of how Trump plays the media, and you, like a violin,  read CNN’s account HERE.

And here’s your travelogue for the day,  a visit to Ireland, HERE.

We mentioned the many fundraisers hosted by Democratic candidates at John’s Grill  on Ellis

Be aware that the rest of them seem to be held at Manny’s, a recent arrival on 16th Street in the Mission,  near the  venerable Taqueria.  The owner has been accused of being- horrors! -a Zionist.  They seem to be doing all right, and are NOT to be confused with the Manny’s in Chicago where David Axelrod hangs out. Check out the menu HERE.

I have to confess I’m stuck on Page 50 of The Mueller Report,  not because it’s boring–it’s not-  but I figure I’ll have all summer to finish it.  It ain’t gonna go away.  Barr, Trump and the rest of the villains will live in infamy forever but the good citizens who are joining Mueller book clubs and otherwise  doing their due diligence won’t be distracted.  Amazon delivered my copy of Seige  and I have to say, it’s  a much quicker read than the Report.  It has juicy gossip,   such as the fact that Trump tried to hire Alan Dershowitz to defend him, and invited him to the White House to make the offer.  Dershowitz was aware of Trump’s record of stiffing his attorney and told Trump he’d need $1M up front.  Trump never came up with the money.
