It's weird how the federal government is constantly being hacked after DOGE gutted the government's cybersecurity agencies.

America is collapsing under the rule of the Boomers. They are the children of the people who won the War, and they enjoyed the riches from it, but they are nothing like the people who won the War.

Something to think about: When Walt Disney chose Central Florida for what became WDW, he knew the area was still racially segregated. Interracial marriage was banned there. Black moms had to gave birth in the hospital boiler room. In fact, the hotel he announced WDW in didn’t accept Black guests.

Trump’s body language alongside Mamdani just screams subservience. Wonder what Mamdani said (or threatened) at that first meeting to housetrain him so completely.

Remember that before Trump threatened to demolish the Kennedy Center, JFK’s memorial, he released files about the JFK assassination. What if this animus for JFK has something to do with a deeper story or grudge that Trump isn’t disclosing?

To me, as a New Yorker on 9/11, that day will always be about the everyday people who died. There are many times when the discourse, especially outside of NYC, focuses on the first responders. But I can never stop prioritizing the regular citizens first, because I could have been one of them.
