Regular readers of Morning Insurrection will recall that I recently attended my son’s high school open house.

In May we noted that the “Mom’s March for America“, a virtual event in support of American mothers and American culture, was being organized for September 23.

NASA scientists and fans of space science said their goodbyes to the Cassini spacecraft Friday, as it plunged into Saturn and concluded a successful 20-year mission to Earth’s spectacular sister planet.

It’s another glorious day in the Twilight Zone state in which I live.

The nation’s eyes are on Florida this weekend, as Hurricane Irma storms through the Sunshine State.
