When I became Episcopalian in the Sixties women at the church where I was confirmed always covered their heads in the sanctuary, even if it was nothing more than a veil or scarf.

The Wikipedia article "Christian headcovering" has details. 

Three years ago the Dutch trained eagles to take out drones. I suppose it didn't become a global trend.

This story from yesterday made the NBC Evening News.

Trump&GOP asked courts to take health care away from 20 million people.

Now GOP is bickering over whether they should offer an Obamacare replacement.

Not a single GOP lawmaker is quoted expressing any concern about the millions who’d suffer if courts agreed with them. Not one pic.twitter.com/0VUlqq2dNo

Article at the link speculates about impeachment, that if Trump goes, so might Pence. We're all entitled to a bit of fantasy.
It's not likely to happen, but it's worth noting that the Speaker of the House is third in line for the presidency. 

If Trump goes, does Pence have to succeed him?
Not so, wrote Professor Michael J. Glennon, law professor at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, in a just-out op-ed in The Washington Post headed, “If Trump is impeachable, so is Pence.”
The article explores the history of the process of impeachment of a U.S. president. Glennon writes: “Assume, hypothetically, that the upcoming report by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, together with other evidence, were to establish conclusively that candidate Donald Trump engaged in electoral fraud or corruption by unlawfully coordinating his activities with the Russian government. Assume also that trump derived a decisive electoral benefit from that coordination. And assume that no probative evidence exists that Vice President Pence was aware of the coordination. Trump would be impeachable. But what about Pence, who himself would have committed no impeachable offense. The question can be argued either way, but the better view is that Pence, too, would be impeachable. The reason is that, had Trump not engaged in electoral fraud and corruption, Pence, like Trump, would not have been elected.”
