My city is drowning

I live in the city of Davenport. IA and there is a major flood underway. It's been going on for about a month now and it's getting worse because of snow melt up north, etc. Today, there was a breach in one of the hesco barriers and the water flowed in. There are a number of businesses down there and may never recover. Oh, I guess I didn't mention that Davenport is on the banks of the Mississippi River.
The downtown area has a number of small businesses as earlier stated, as well as apartments, not to mention the bus station. It's been raining a lot the past couple of days so that isn't helping. Lots of coverage at www.kwqc.com.

Trump congratulates NFL draft pick

The second man picked, not the first pick. See, Kyler Murray is a black man and he was the top pick. Nick Bosa is a white man who has supported trump publicly. Congratulations to Kyler Murray, no. 1 pick in the NFL draft. I hope he makes Bosa look foolish when they face each other.
