They are an invasive species, but there are restrictions on killing them: It is legal to shoot iguanas in the head with a pellet gun, stab them in the brain and even decapitate them as long as they don’t suffer, according to state law. It’s a crime to drown, freeze or poison iguanas. “When you put out rat poison, you can’t control what’s going to consume it,” Portuallo says. “The animals die a slow, excruciating death, which is inhumane.”

Gay Pride month
Demonstrating total incompetence in Marketing, Target is celebrating gay pride month with special displays and merchandise. The Target in Fergus Falls Minnesota is closing. Could one of the reasons be that customers in small-town America are not as sympathetic to homosexuality?

50 ways to leave your lover
No, fifty ways that the media made mistakes in reporting on Donald Trump. Sharyl Attkisson has the definitive list.
Trump showed Kim Jong Un this video during their meeting. Which path will Kim choose? Scott Adams, trained persuader, says this is the best thing ever done in a negotiation.
There has been much in the news about Trump imposing tariffs. Almost none of the reporting tells us what the other contries are doing to our exports. How about Canada's 270% tariff on US dairy products?
There was a science fiction movie, Elysium, about a world where the rich people lived in luxury while the poor suffered. This author argues that California is becoming Elysium.
The news this week was about Alice Marie Johnson who was pardoned by Trump after a visit to the White House by Kim Kardashian. It seems to have been a reasonable pardon.
Bill Clinton is on a book tour, required of anybody who wants to get a book published. Unfortunately, people are asking him about things besides the book and writing articles. Here's what Maureen Dowd had to say.
More on Bill's book tour: Clinton weighs in on the new rules for sexual harassment. What you can do to someone against their will has changed.
I got my first Nigerian letter in 1973, the first of hundreds. Before the advent of computers and email, this first one was typed on onion skin and mailed from Nigeria. Briefly, I considered it. Here's a recent story about someone who didn't figure it out, but surprisingly he's getting his money back from Western Union. You can too, there's more where that came from.
Michigan is ending a job-killing law loved by unions: the prevailing wage rule.
Brazil has laws protecting the indigenous peoples, even when some of their customs are harsh. Be sure and read the comments.

Remember the Tiananmen Square protests in China? This author thinks it's time that China honored those heroes killed by the Army.
The solution to health care expenses? Get out of the was and let the economy fix it.
Nixon tried to politicize the FBI. Mark Felt prevented it from happening, but James Comey succeeded where Nixon failed.
Venezuela continues to implode under Socialism. Now the kids can't go to school because the teachers are fleeing the country.
Disney killed the Muppets with liberal causes that nobody cared about. This author thinks Solo, the latest Star Wars movie is suffering the same fate.
An inconvenient truth: recycling is costly and ineffective. People all over are carefully separating their garbage, but much of it goes into landfills anyway because nobody wants to buy your plastic bottles.
How about that global warming? We just had two years of record cold, but nobody is reporting it.
The Wall Street Journal suggest that Global Warming has run its course and has become yesterday's cause. The WSJ has a pay wall, but you can read about it here.
And for D-day, a couple of stories about the assault. The Rangers taking Pointe du Hoc. Six facts about D-day you never learned in school. The town of Bedford Virginia lost proportionally more sons on D-Day than any other.
