Because: Don Jr was born in 1977 Ivanka was born in 1981 Eric was born in 1984 Ivana became a US citizen in 1988. Barron was born in March 2006 Melania became a US citizen in July 2006. Trump’s entire family would be deported.

Say What? Does he even have a clue about what he's talking about?

I've heard horror stories about the DC Metro system most of my life. Last couple of trips there we've used it with no problems. Including a trip to the 'burbs (Tysons Corners). When we lived in Chicago during the '90s most of my time was by train. To me the biggest drawback was when the Cubs had night games. The experience was still fairly new and it drew too many drunken "fans"

I think it goes beyond the music as well. I'm a fossil. It's been close to 40 years since I worked on air at an actual station and nearly 30 years being on the air. I loved smaller markets. Those stations just outside the metro areas. We never tried to compete directly with the Big Guns. We knew you'd never win that game. We did an interesting mix of current pop, throw in some "crossover country and the same with the "soul" music. We worked out deals with the community newspaper, touched base with the "powers that be" in local government and community groups. Promoted ourselves as the hometown sound. In had a really good music guy to do the programming and I was the "front man". Unfortunately you can't do that much anymore. The locally owned stores and services are greatly diminished. The big box stores stopped doing local radio in the 70s. Now all the local advertising I see on social media are basically one man or small operations who can't afford to much "paid" advertising (or so they say). And the property that used to be radio tower sites have become dead shopping centers.

One of the many reasons why "live and local" is still important in the broadcasting industry. Despite of what the suits say

It's Coldplay, it's smaltzy. Yet if you add a 99 year old **** VanDyke somehow it becomes magical...

Hind site being perfect, maybe they should have let Trump own an NFL team. He couldn't have done worse than some of the franchises in the past 40 years or so. It would have probably exposed him to more people as the business fraud he is. or at least kept him off the stupid TV show that propelled him to where he is now. Maybe in the next life

I just finished watching the doc. It was great. I turned to my wife and asked if she remembered the "Music of Your Life" format we used to laugh at. It was usually played on a fringe AM radio station in the 70s and early 80. I realized that Yacht Rock is the Music of My Life....

My own"mandatory" Christmas movie viewing is still in effect. It's about time to cue up White Christmas. I had a chance to see it on the "big screen" last year with the reopening of a theatre built by John Rockefeller in Williamsburg. That was very cool. The other is the "ultimate family Christmas gathering" imo. Lion in Winter, pairing Peter O'Toole and Katherine Hepburn along with an outstanding supporting cast.

I'm not familiar with this site or its leanings. But it's an interesting perspective . https://frontelligence.substack.com/p/war-deficits-and-the-russian-economy My thought. Is Vlad hoping Trump and Company will bail him out of a mess, or will he get more bogged down in the swamp

About Trump's Swamp https://politicalwire.com/2024/12/06/fill-the-swamp/

That was short lived. He's not going to open one after all https://www.wavy.com/news/local-news/williamsburg/hinckley-scraps-music-store-in-wake-of-negative-reaction/

Musk and Ramaswamy probably want to enroll vets in a United Health Care plan for vets, similar to Medicare Advantage. If you want a better option (like Plan D) it comes out of your pocket.

Had to stick this someplace. I saw a social media posting (X) that John Hinkley is opening a record store in the area. My first reaction

More from the loony right

The other thing was Danson's interactions with the other residents. As I said a good supporting cast and really no over the top characters (maybe a couple)

From The Athletic on the A's new(?) home. It's gonna cost $250 million more than initial estimates. The A's say they're willing to foot the bill. Also the stadium won't be ready til '28, maybe https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5965207/2024/12/03/las-vegas-athletics-stadium-costs-rise/?source=athletic_thewindup_newsletter&campaign=11828613&userId=213687

I agree, we enjoyed it. It's not as grating as Murders in the Building. But a very good surrounding cast and a heartfelt look at topics like elder loneliness and dementia.

Found what I was looking for. From JVL https://www.thebulwark.com/p/tulsi-gabbard-russian-asset-or-dupe

I'm going to stick this here because this state legislator wants to codify something kin to this in Va. Personally I think it's a good idea (and the guy is a Republican). Too bad Ms Harris didn't suggest this when she was talking about making home buying more available to middle class Americans
