Distractions of “summer melt” threaten long-laid plans for higher education.
Outfitting an exterior electrical socket with an add-on Wi-Fi smart plug makes a ton of sense, saving you from having to put on your shoes or tromp out in the rain to turn on the Christmas lights or activate the bug zapper. The catch? If the smart plug isn’t reliable, you’ll have an even bigger headache to contend with than if you used a regular outlet.

On the first night of the Republican National Convention on Monday, viewers were treated to a taped speech by Kimberly Klacik, a young, Black candidate for Maryland’s 7th House district, which includes a large share of Baltimore. She won’t be among the convention’s best-remembered appearances, but she did manage to capsulize much of Trump’s message for Black urban voters in just two short minutes. “Let me remind you that Democrats have controlled this part of Baltimore City for over 50 years,” she said.

Specifically, they are Patricia McCloskey, the Missouri woman who was photographed wielding a pistol on the lawn of her villa-esque home in St. Louis in June as Black Lives Matter protesters walked too near the property’s perimeter for her comfort.
