Trump expected to withdraw from Paris climate agreement
Drumpf is expected to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement, two senior US officials familiar with his plans told CNN Wednesday, May 31, a major break from international partners that would isolate the United States in global efforts to curb global warming.
Our do-nothing President Drumpf has decided that he’s earned yet more leisure time despite not having actually accomplished anything besides taking credit for President Obama’s hard work.
This weekend, Trump is visiting the Drumpf National Golf Club in Virgina – his ninth trip to a golf course in the fifty-one days he’s been the president.
The Washington Post determined that out of 744 hours in his first month, Trump spent just 27 of them in briefings, while spending 25 hours golfing and 106 hours relaxing at his Mar-a-Lago mansion.
The White House press corps is the group of journalists or correspondents usually stationed at the White House in Washington, D.C., to cover the President of the United States, White House events, and news briefings.
Their offices are located in the West Wing.

Donald Trump’s plan to neuter the White House press corps could neuter our democracy
(Robert Reich)
Tyrants don’t allow open questioning, and they hate the free press. They want total control.
That’s why, according to three senior officials on the transition team, the incoming Trump administration is considering evicting the White House press corps from the press room inside the White House and moving them – and news conferences – to a conference center or to the Old Executive Office Building.
This may sound like a small logistic matter. It’s not. The White House “press room” contains work stations and broadcast booths, and the briefing area for presidential news conferences.
Reporters have had workspace at the White House since Teddy Roosevelt was president, in 1901.
Rubbish. It’s because a larger room would allow the administration to fill seats with “alt-right” fringe journalists, rightwing social media, Trump supporters and paid staffers.
They’d be there to ask the questions Trump wants to answer, and to jeer at reporters who ask critical questions and applaud Trump’s answers.
Why can’t all see that there is no difference between one and the other?
Why continue the destruction/decimation of a nation?
Why the lack of respect?
Because the white man has always felt to be above anyone other than himself.
The disconnect is obvious.
The disparity in full few.
It’s time to correct it.
Will humanity be able to do so?

Dave Meyers is the owner of 8,100 acres that the DAPL pipeline will be crossing to get to the Missouri River or Lake Oahe. During the last week of August, he was wondering if there was any Indian graves that might be disturbed by the construction of the pipeline.
To satisfy his curiosity, he asked Tim Mentz to assess the “corridor” route that was going to be used to host the buried pipeline. Dave Meyers was fully aware that an environmental assessment (EI) had been performed by the State Historic Preservation Office, however, these are non-Indian experts, whereas, Tim owns a company called Makoche Wowapi. His business consults Tribes regarding their archeological inheritance.
In addition, Tim previously worked as a Tribal and State Historic Preservation Officer since 1985.
With Tim’s knowledge and skill, he walked the area as allowed.
On Sunday, August 29, 2016, Tim and his sons found 82 significant historical marking, of which 27 were grave locations.
“ We found two places where rocks were set in a circular pattern with openings to the west, as well as other effigy designs.” Every site was professionally identified and precisely charted by computer for exact location by GPS.
To the untrained eye, walking the prairie on Mr. Meyer’s property everywhere is tall grass with some stone outcroppings now and then, but Tim Mentz’s trained eyes discovered shapes that just could not have happened in nature.
In fact, the stones had to be placed by the hand of thinking men. Intelligent men, who wanted to convey a story or to leave traditions of significance for the people.
Deforestation is the permanent destruction of forests in order to make the land available for other uses.
An estimated 18 million acres (7.3 million hectares) of forest, which is roughly the size of the country of Panama, are lost each year, according to the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
Just another traveler on life's highway hanging out in the slow lane. It's quiet, it's peaceful. Beyond the horizon is rest calling my name. Green pastures, still waters, my cup runneth over.
