By now you’ve heard that the government is suspending all “non-essential” services thanks to bipartisan bickering in Washington.
The National Park Service will close more than 400 national parks and museums, including Yosemite National Park in California, Alcatraz in San Francisco, and the Statue of Liberty in New York. The last time this happened during the 1995-96 shutdown, some 7 million visitors were turned away.So, to fuel your rage and mine, here are some epic panoramas of five places you can’t visit right now even if you wanted to, lest you be turned away like it’s 1995 all over again:Source: Washington Post
1. Rocky Mountain National Park, Colo.
2. Grand Canyon National Park, Ariz.
3. Death Valley, Calif./Nev.
4.Yosemite National Park, N. Calif.
5. Shenandoah National Park, VA

Isn’t partisan bickering?
It’s scary the way the media reports Republican manipulation as “partisan bickering” as if both parties are to blame. They remind me of an extortionist complaining that the victim won’t negotiate with them about the amount of the ransom.
Isn’t it interesting that people complaining that the Democrats won’t negotiate seem to have forgotten which team has been called “the party of no” for the last 5 years. Remember this?
