Senator Romney is calling for reform after Donald Trump gave clemency to 143 people before leaving office.

Donald Trump arrived in Palm Beach, Florida, on Air Force One shortly to resume civilian life at Mar-a-Lago after departing the White House for the final time on Wednesday morning.

"It was a privelege to be your president," he told the small his farewell event at Joint Base Andrews before boarding Air Force One with wife Melania for the last time.

Before his term came to an official end, Trump slipped in a last-minute pardon for the husband of Fox News ally, Judge Jeanine Pirro and extended Secret Service protection for his kids, Ivanka, Don Jr and Eric and their families.

How to spot box blight, and what to do about it
The relentless rain of the last few months is probably going to have a sting in its tail, because it’s going to encourage lots of fungal spores.

White spore masses can be seen on the undersides of infected leaves in wet conditions, and you’ll als

Torn screens, shattered glass and scorched trees litter the yard of Olha Faichuk's apartment building in Lukiantsi, north of the city of Kharkiv. “God, forgive me for leaving my home, bless me on my way,” Faichuk said, taking one last look around before slowly shuffling to an evacuation vehicle.
