Swalwell emission cuts like a slice of cheese!
Greg Gutfeld, of Fox News, clarifies the muddled mess now called Fartgate--now widely recognized as Congressman Eric Swalwell's smelly contribution to the news cycle.
Once regarded by some as a sex symbol, Swalwell now more closely resembles a slob.

The
mystery of New Mexico’s missing moon trees may be solved.
Former
New Mexico First Lady Clara Apodaca believes that a Douglas Fir tree surrounded
by other trees and shrubs in a grassy area north of the state capitol is a moon
tree.
She
should know. She helped plant it 43 years ago.

“That's it,” Apodaca said while pointing at the four-story tall tree. “That's the moon tree from New Mexico.”
Five trees that were grown from seeds taken to the moon during the 1971 Apollo 17 moon landing were given to New Mexico.
They were planted in Albuquerque, Alamogordo, Silver City, Capitan and at the state Capitol in Santa Fe.

A Target
7 investigation discovered that no one kept track of these trees, at least
three had died and no one was sure whether any were living.
After
KOAT reported earlier this year story aired, Target 7 reached out to the former
first lady. She is seen in a 1976 article receiving a moon tree sapling that
was to be planted. Newspaper accounts have her at two planting ceremonies.
“Yeah
that’s me,” Apodaca said when she saw her picture. “Oh my God.”
Officials
at the state Capitol had a naturalist look at a tree they believed was the moon
tree. It’s species and age matched.
They took
Target 7 and Apodaca to the tree.
“My kids
tease me, ‘only mom would remember that far back’,” Apodaca said. “I remember
everything."
As soon
as Apodaca saw the tree, she had a feeling.
That’s
it. I am sure. I am sure that’s it,” she said, staring at the tree just outside
of the Round House. “Look how tall it is. It is beautiful.”
Apodaca
said she believes there should be a rededication ceremony and a plaque put by
the tree.
“I am
excited we found it,” Apodaca said. “I am excited you guys called me. I am
excited Channel 7 is doing this in-depth inventory of the trees because people
don't know. The new generation doesn’t know anything about these moon trees.”
New
Mexico could have one other living moon tree in Silver City’s Gough Park. It
was an American sycamore, and it was planted by Silver City native and Apollo
17 astronaut Harrison Schmitt.
Target 7
reached out to the astronaut and he couldn't remember planting the tree, but
there is only one American sycamore in Gough Park, so it could very well be, a
living moon tree.

Hit by pitch!
This pitch is a real hit!
Let's just say there was some shaky command on tonight's ceremonial first pitch at Guaranteed Rate Field.#Royals | #WhiteSox pic.twitter.com/c3YT5YsH3o— FOX Sports Kansas City (@FSKansasCity) May 28, 2019

Damaged Chernobyl nuclear reactor receives new containment building
The radiation-leaking Chernobyl nuclear reactor complex in Ukraine has a new containment structure designed to block release of deadly radiation. Named the "New Safe Confinement," it replaces the dilapidated structure, called the "sarcophagus," constructed several years ago.
Hopefully, it will serve to block the radiation that leaked profusely as a result of the deadly explosion of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor complex in 1986, releasing deadly radiation that infested much of the earth.

Southern border of US is largely borderless!
The US-Mexico border stretches over 1,900 miles, but the portion of it without fencing is staggering, as the Washington Examiner reports in a December 7, 2016, article:
President Trump, however, thanks to the Secure Fence Act, already has the authority to rectify this.
"There's a lot of work to do. Last year, in response to questions from Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, DHS revealed that there are only 36.3 miles of double-layer fencing along the 1,954-mile Mexican border. Secretary Jeh Johnson told the Senate that 1,300 miles of the border, or 66.5 percent, have no fencing at all; 299.8 miles, or 15.3 percent, have vehicle fence; 316.6 miles, or 16.2 percent, have pedestrian fence, and 36.3 miles, or 2 percent, have double-layer fencing. Johnson also said there is no work being done on any additional fencing."
