Fate has not been kind to Ron DeSantis ever since the Florida governor Beat the Pandemic and decided to run for president despite being one of the biggest meatheads in the history of the U.S. Congress. Iowa ate him alive, and the president ate up the leftovers, and now he's back sitting by the tracks, waving, as the Trump train goes whistling by on its mission to throw the old republic under its wheels. Now, this week, he got to host the president at his latest pride and joy—the open-air Everglades concentration camp with the cute nickname which I will not use for six million damn good reasons. |

In my town, they stole a march on the Fourth of July by shooting off the town fireworks during the last weekend in June. (I highly recommend fireworks over a river for patriotic thrills.)

Ever since the Supreme Court legalized influence peddling in the Citizens United decision, the fundamental reaction of many politicians when confronted by a big old pile of that sweet campaign dough has been "Me some too. Yes?" Even given all that, as the good people at ProPublica report, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem has sticky fingers for cash that would've been the envy of Lester Hayes. |

What better way to mark the 249th birthday of this nation than to celebrate the opening of an open-air concentration camp in the middle of the Everglades? Not merely celebrate it but also turn it into an instant pop-culture phenomenon with T-shirts and ball caps and as complete a lack of moral conscience as exists in all the misplaced pythons in the swamps beyond. What the hell, they're all cold-blooded reptiles. |

Around 2:30 p.m. Monday afternoon, Senator Edward Markey, Democrat of Massachusetts, proposed an amendment that would have protected some 300 rural hospitals from the cuts present in the Big Plug Ugly. The Republican majority voted the amendment down. Interestingly, however, one of the hospital systems Markey's amendment sought to rescue was the DeSoto Regional Health Service in Mansfield, Louisiana, a city a little to the west of Shreveport. |

Periods are normal, but kids pointing them out in their sketches is something else. Australian woman Penny Rohleder shared a photo of her son's drawing on the Facebook page of blogger Constance Hall on Jul. 25, which well, says it all. SEE ALSO: James Corden tests out gymnastics class for his son and is instantly showed up by children "I don't know whether to be proud or embarrassed that my 5 year old son knows this," Rohleder wrote. "Julian drew a family portrait. I said 'What's that red bit on me?' And he replied, real casual, 'That's your period.'" Well, at least he knows. To give further context, Rohleder revealed she had pulmonary embolism in October 2016, and was put on blood thinning treatment which makes her periods "very, very bad," she explained to the Daily Mail .
