Today, NFL star Azeez Al-Shaair has announced that he will honor 8-year-old Fatima Al-Bayook, who lost her entire family in an Israeli airstrike in 2023 and survived two days beneath the rubble, only to be shot and murdered by Israeli forces in Gaza two days ago.

Overall he's grabbing most of the waterfront south of the (also seized) Kennedy Center, west of the National Mall. This is the people's land. Maybe it's about ego, but he's also grifting taxpayer money & land for his MAGA elites, & it's gotta be stopped. stickycomics.substack.com/p/trumps-dc-...

Itโ€™s immoral to charge money for it at all in 2026 in America. Thereโ€™s no legitimate basis for doing so in the wealthiest country on earth. The profession of medicine in America is obviously incapable of governing itself effectively. Nationalize it. Solve the problem. Making money on this is bad.

So what did Dolly Parton name the entity she established to oversee her estate, publishing interests, and legacy after her death? โ€œSheโ€™s Alive LLC.โ€ Absolutely perfect.

As Health Director for Wayne County, we put vending machines with free Narcan and fentanyl test strips in 100 locations. We hoped to make even a small dent in offsetting the opioid epidemic that Mike Rogers made even worse by voting with the pharmaceutical industry his entire career in Congress.

Well that's weird. What about being known as an immigration agent would be publicly embarrassing? And why would being known by the public to be working for ICE deter them from enforcing immigration? Is the FBI saying the public doesn't support immigration policy? Nah, can't be.
