CNBC anchor: "We see you during the pandemic, now we see you during this. We only see you when things are like seizing up and going really poorly." FreightWaves CEO: "People bring me out when we have a crisis." Great work, Mr. Trump, you got the supply chain experts back on TV.

I forgot to transcribe stanza three onto my fair copy: The person who’s always lived freely Can’t know what it means to live so meanly— Not the anger nor the doom most wretchéd Of them to whom serfdom is attachéd.

Handwritten copy of Jonathon’s rough draft showing stanza three.

But if the free man freedom weighed In the heart’s scales, he would assay Its value more than that of gold— Aye, of all the gold that’s in the world! Translated by Jonathon Lance Nashville Arkansas USA, 28 Feb 2025

A noble heart can have no ease, Nor with aught else can it be pleas’d If freedom fail: For to freely decide Is above all else to be desired.

Text: “A! Freedom is a Noble thing!” from The Brus by John Barbour (1375) Ah! Freedom is a noble thing! Freedom makes folks’ lives pleasing. To humanity, freedom’s solace-giving. He lives at ease that’s freely living.

I can’t do a lot about much going on in the world, but with the shameful actions of my country’s leaders today, John Barbour’s poem THE BRUS has been on my mind. This is my translation of “A! Fredom is a noble thing” from THE BRUS. May this 650-year-old poem remind us of the human need for liberty.

Daly received fellowships for her graduate studies due to the need for scientists to support the war effort. Her work advanced our understanding of nucleic acids and protein synthesis. Watson and Crick cited one of Daly’s papers when accepting the Nobel Prize for describing the structure of DNA. /3

In the tiny community of Mineral Springs, Arkansas, near my hometown of Nashville, Arkansas, American Legion Post 332 is named in honor of the Tuskegee Airmen. Southwest Arkansas will never forget their service or their bravery.

Only one media outlet is reporting that LA Mayor Karen Bass' mic was turned off during the roundtable with Donald Trump last night. None of them are reporting that they physically took away her microphone too because she kept trying to fact check him. Shameful.

So many Christmas carols can be divided into two categories: "Will You Be Quiet" and "Let's Get Loud." Category 1: -Shush! The Herald Angels Will Now Perform -Muteness (x3) -Let All Mortal Flesh Please Can It -Mute Evening -If You Would Shut Your Pie Hole for 5 Seconds You Would Hear What I Hear
