Human excrement on sidewalks has become such a pervasive problem that the city is launching a “Poop Patrol.”

President Donald Trump’s administration has already implemented nearly two-thirds of the 334 agenda according to the conservative Heritage Foundation, which is a pace faster than former President Ronald Reagan.
One of Trump’s biggest promises was to roll back regulations, especially those promulgated under the behemoth of the Environmental Protection Agency. New reports...

Until the prof sent me this story, I had never heard of a pangolin, and my initial impression (as a Southerner) was that it looks like a giant armadillo. The pangolin, however, is an anteater that is currently endangered because its scales are seen as medicinal and its meat a delicacy...
