Government power in the US is a swirl of checks and balances, as a recent Supreme Court ruling shows
NEW YORK (AP) — The delegates at the 1787 Constitutional Convention were trying to create a new governing framework for the fledging United States of America.

Someone had to be in position to see that the laws legislated by Congress “be faithfully executed,” to make treaties, to be the military's commander-in-chief, to preside over the nation. You know, a president. ...

Prune Raspberries for an Abundant Harvest
A bit of summer pruning goes a long way to keeping your raspberries healthy and productive. So, get out the mosquito netting, long sleeves, and pruners and get busy. The summer harvest is produced on 2-year-old canes called floricanes. Remove those that bore fruit to ground level once your harvest is complete. These canes will not produce more fruit and their presence can increase the risk of insect and disease problems. This is also a good time to remove damaged, insect-infested, or discolored canes. ...

Less is more: Trump quiet as Biden flounders
Since announcing his White House bid, Donald Trump has taken every opportunity to paint President Joe Biden as so weak and compromised that he would struggle to make it to November's election, let alone serve another four years.

"The White House fumbled...
