Biden, Pelosi, Schumer Isolated on Israel as Democrats Rally Around Palestinians
On 5/14/21 at 4:26 PM EDT
Last weekend, Israeli security forces cracked down on Palestinian worshippers and demonstrators at the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem, drawing swift condemnation from prominent progressive Democrats. That crackdown came as Palestinians demonstrated against an attempt to evict several Palestinian families from homes in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of East Jerusalem.
Israeli officials describe the issue as a private real estate dispute between Jewish owners and Palestinians that is being resolved in Israel s courts. Palestinians and their supporters view the expected evictions as emblematic of a wider Israeli strategy to remove Palestinians to make way for Israeli settlers.
Aaron Rodgers rumors? Jarvis Landry or OBJ? Too much Browns hype? Hey, Terry!
Today 5:07 AM
How much of an upgrade would Aaron Rodgers be for the Cleveland Browns? Does a trade make sense?

CLEVELAND, Ohio – An 11-5 season followed by a playoff win and then a solid draft has Browns fans excited and armed with plenty of questions:
Hey, Terry: Please tell me this Aaron Rodgers to the Browns talk will go nowhere. Will Baker Mayfield get his new contract?
– James Morrison, Byesville.
Hey, James: Let’s break down the Rodgers situation:

This is much like an NBA move where James Harden and Anthony Davis recently leveraged their teams not only into trading them – but also dealing them to the players’ favored destinations.
Letter: Help us fight climate change
By Beth Miller
Natural climate solutions are good for the climate, the local economy, wildlife and people. Last week, a bipartisan group of U.S. senators led by Sen. Debbie Stabenow reintroduced a bill that will make it easier for Michigan and our nation’s farmers, ranchers and foresters to naturally capture and store carbon on their land.
The Growing Climate Solutions Act will support landowners in adopting sustainable practices like cover cropping, prescribed grazing, and reforestation to help stave off the worst effects of climate change. That’s important because Audubon’s science found that more than half of Michigan’s birds are at risk of extinction if global temperatures continue to rise.

On a sunny afternoon last week, Yellow Springs Dog Park coordinators and organizers gathered at the park’s future 1.3-acre site beneath the water towers at Gaunt Park. Owing to the recent financial donations to the project from villagers David Butcher (at left) and Richard Lapedes (second from left), the dog park is slated to open to the public this September. From Lapedes’ right is Tom Everhart, the “chief petting officer” of the Dayton-local nonprofit Wagtown, which has been instrumental in developing the YS Dog Park; Wagtown’s founder and CEO, and the park’s primary consultant, Beth Miller; villager and dog-enthusiast Linda Rudawski; and Village Public Works Director Johnnie Burns.
