I gotta brag a bit. My grandson won a gold metal in Social Studies in the 7th grade class competition Friday in the Aquinis Academic Olympics at Cabrini High School. His school finished in first place in the Tourney.

Maybe some of our trading partners should have the balls to refuse delivery on US made items for a while.

Such shipments were confiscated and sold at auction, with profits being donated to the people of Boston.

The Federal Government is not a business and should not be run like a business. Especially by someone with a history of many bankruptcies and underlings who can best be defined as reality show losers. And if they go after Social Security and Medicare as well as Medicaid they're going to need a big army to hold back a bunch of folks with nothing left to lose.

Democracy Dies in Darkness. They want to treat the American People like mushrooms. Keep them in the dark and feed them Bull****

For the record Trump is the poster boy proof that old white guys can's dance

I know nothing about this guy. He does seem to have a good track record in Minnesota. Hope he's willing to go no holds barred with Trump, Musk and the rest of the Insurrection Party.

The goal has always been clear: destroy functioning government, cripple the nonprofit sector and obliterate the hard-earned bonds and benefits of 80 years of post-war American progress.

On February 1, 2003, the space shuttle Columbia breaks up while entering the atmosphere over Texas, killing all seven crew members on board. The U.S. Supreme Court was established by Article Three of the U.S. Constitution, which took effect in March 1789. The Constitution granted the Supreme Court ultimate jurisdiction over all laws, especially those in which constitutionality was at issue. The court was also designated to rule on cases concerning treaties of the United States, foreign diplomats, admiralty practice, and maritime jurisdiction. In September 1789, the Judiciary Act was passed, implementing Article Three by providing for six justices who would serve on the court for life. The same day, President George Washington appointed John Jay to preside as chief justice, and John Rutledge of South Carolina, William Cushing of Massachusetts, John Blair of Virginia, Robert Harrison of Maryland, and James Wilson of Pennsylvania to serve as associate justices. Two days later, all six appointments were confirmed by the U.S. Senate. In the Royal Exchange Building on New York City’s Broad Street, the Supreme Court of the United States assembles for the first time, with Chief Justice John Jay of New York presiding. Because some justices had transportation delays, the first official session began the following day. https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/day/february-1

I see your LGJ and give you Barry Goldwater Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.

I was thinking about that today (he's my Senator). He was just re-elected, so he's safe for six more years, he'll be 72. He's likely not running again in 2030, nothing to lose. At least that's my theory.

This isn't the exact thread I saw this morning. But it comes close to some of the real issues that should be raised in conjunction with last night's crash There is more here if you unroll the thread Edit...found the thread. Please excuse my ADD https://x.com/arischulman/status/1884785144017342893?s=61

Not sure how it is now, especially since the copter was a military aircraft. Since I was basically a passenger back then I can't say. I could hear ATC on my headset, but paid more attention to the stations I was reporting for at the time.
