Today’s decision in Slaughter will destroy the independence of the Merit Systems Protection Board, which will have a cascading effect on all federal employees, who have been free from political interference for 150 years. The spoils system is back, baby!

In 1862, a Union soldier found cigars wrapped in a piece of paper in a field of clover. The paper was a copy of Confederate Gen. Lee's invasion orders. The Southern sloppiness helped the Union stop Lee at Antietam. It's unknown who lost the orders in the field, or if he was related to Pete Hegseth.

So...I as going through my old videos to consolidate and clean up - and ran into an .mp4 called "Hymn to the 81%". Listening to it and reading its backstory, it's as relevant today as when it was first written/sung. Perhaps moreso. And one does not have to be "religious" to appreciate it.

I still think average people don't understand how many more cars there are on the streets now than there were even a few decades ago. Just adding capacity does not help relieve congestion without dealing with the root cause! Case in point: Belgium www.brusselstimes.com/1386740/more...

brusselstimes.comMore cars than ever in Belgium as over 6 million cars registeredPetrol-powered cars make up the majority with 3,312,696 vehicles.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.
