You Can Hike To New York’s Abandoned Cornish Estate Village

Making us feel like our own version of Indiana Jones, there’s something about hiking along a trail that leads you to an abandoned place that makes an adventure all the more exciting.

If you happen to keep your eye out in the Hudson Valley though, you’ll see that there’s plenty of pieces of the past that are just waiting to be discovered. Take a look at this one!

Louisiana Governor Says He Will Sign Strict New Anti-Abortion Law : NPR

By a vote of 79-23, the lawmakers banned abortions as early as six weeks of pregnancy. Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards said in a statement that he "ran for governor as a pro-life candidate," and intended to sign the abortion ban.

"As I prepare to sign this bill, I call on the overwhelming bipartisan majority of legislators who voted for it to join me in continuing to build a better Louisiana that cares for the least among us and provides more opportunity for everyone," he said.

While I am not a fan of more laws and regulations, I do think there is a state interest in preserving life, and discouraging promiscuous sexual activity. It's good to see politicians working across party lines for once, and while I think most of these laws are rooted in bigotry rather then common sense, if you are going to have blue states regulating guns, then you should have red states regulating abortion. I think they are a moral equivalence.

Mueller Stirs Controversy by Urging Americans to Read | The New Yorker

The special counsel Robert Mueller ignited a firestorm of controversy on Wednesday by recommending that millions of Americans read. Mueller, seemingly oblivious to the uproar he was about to create, repeatedly commented that there was valuable information available to the American people only by reading a long book. At the White House, sources said that Donald J. Trump was furious about Mueller’s statement because he interpreted the special counsel’s pro-reading message as a thinly veiled attack on him.
