Chairman Powell's Jackson Hole remarks -
Meanwhile, in ClevelandWe're waiting for that to happen here. The Bears/McCaskeys have focused their attention on the former Arlington Park site they own.
As for money ,so far Pritzker is holding firm and says he won't give them anything. But the county assessor, the Bears, and the local school districts finally came to an agreement regarding the value of the vacant land. It's a lot less than they paid for it.

Meanwhile, in ClevelandCleveland won’t be losing the Browns to Brook Park without a fight. And Cleveland secured a recent win by moving in silence.
Via Cleveland.com’s Today in Ohio podcast, Cleveland laid the foundation for the recent decision of the Ohio Department of Transportation to deny the permit for a domed suburban stadium.
The city, working with airport officials, sent “warning letters” regarding the height of the stadium, arguing it would interfere with air traffic.
Unlike other efforts by the city to oppose the new stadium, Cleveland quietly pursued the attack on the height of the venue.

Bloomscrolling--what's in bloom where you are?I had planted some morning glory seeds in a pot last year. This spring I dumped the dirt from the pot into an elevated bed next to the fence and planted romaine lettuce in it. A couple of "weeds" sprouted up around the lettuce. I pulled one plant out and then thought "hmmm, this leaf looks familiar" and left the rest.
The volunteers, living up to their name:
I like the look so much I think I may just plant vining flowers (morning glories , moonflowers, and maybe nasturtiums) in the elevated bed next year. The vines look lovely on the fence!

Ukraine, the next stepsTrump got rolled.
No, our country got rolled.
Putin: Look! Squirrel!!
Trump's reponse:
President Trump said Monday he would renew his assault on mail-in voting after Russia’s autocratic leader, Vladimir Putin, told him to do so at their meeting in Alaska last week.
The president provided few details, but wrote on social media that he would “lead a movement to get rid of MAIL-IN BALLOTS, and also, while we’re at it, Highly ‘Inaccurate,’ Very Expensive, and Seriously Controversial VOTING MACHINES.”
Trump blamed his 2020 election loss to President Biden on a conspiracy of voter fraud. But independent analysts, state attorneys general and every court that reviewed the matter found no evidence of fraud that altered results in the race.
“Vladimir Putin said something — one of the most interesting things. He said, ‘Your election was rigged because you have mail-in voting,’” Trump told Fox News in an interview.

Ukraine, the next stepsHis background in stand up comedy stands him in good stead.
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy may have traded his trademark olive drab for a sharp black suit at the White House on Monday, but he didn’t let a reporter off the hook for sticking to old habits.
“You look fabulous in that suit,” Brian Glenn of the right-wing outlet Real America’s Voice told the Ukrainian president during his meeting with Donald Trump. Glenn had earlier critised Zelensky over his wardrobe choices during a February White House session.
Trump quickly jumped in: “I said the same thing. Isn’t he the one who attacked you last time?”
Zelenskyy smiled and fired back with the line of the day: “I remember him. But you [looking at the reporter] are in the same suit. I changed mine.”
The exchange drew laughs.

Ukraine, the next stepsWatching the so-called press conference with Zelenskyy and Trump.
Gawd, I'm so embarrassed by Trump. He's whining about how badly treated he is by the press. And when asked about the need for a ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia, he went off on a tangent talking about the six wars he's stopped in just six months, and how they never even considered a ceasefire in any of those.
I can't f***ing believe this guy. Biden on his worst days made more sense.
