Today is Mothers Day, for me the first without my own mother being around. Naturally, I will remember her, the things she did for me, and the borough in Pennsylvania where she grew up. For all the mothers out there, happy Mothers Day.
Here are some things going on:
From Philly(dot)com, President Trump honors his mother.
From The Daily Caller, the mayor of Los Angeles could see his 2020 presidential bid thwarted by his city's homeless problem. (TDC cites the Los Angeles Times, but the link goes to the Wall Street Journal, which is behind a pay wall.)
From Twitchy and the "barf" department, a Mothers Day greeting from an organization that often prevents motherhood.
From the Sacramento Bee, Sacramento plans to ban new gas stations and marijuana cultivation near light-rail stations.
From MLB, a Philadelphia Phillies staffer enjoyed being an honorary bat girl.
From PoliZette, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo lays out what North Korea could receive in exchange for de-nuking.

From Voice Of Europe, the gang violence, human trafficking and child exploitation common in London could spread to the rest of the U.K.
From France24, how yesterday's knife attacker went from being "reserved" to an extremist. (He appears to have come from the same region as the Boston Marathon bombers.)

(The term "depleted uranium" refers uranium containing less U-235 and more U-238 than found in natural uranium. U-238 is more stable than U-235, but is still radioactive.)
