We need a collectionof Kennedy Center performances that we can subscirbe to as a protest. There are countless tributes. Can you not find a way to unite these honorees and tributes in support of our icon of art?

Saw a Kushner interview that had medals and a folded flag in the background. I knew he never served in the military and didnt think they could possibly be his father’s. A google search tells me the flag is a “White House Souvenir” and the medal is for the USMCA (is it really still in effect). AUFKM?

The country of Isreal he is loyal to no longer exists. If that is difficult to understand look at America.

My first long post that is very sincerely deeply felt. How do cousins evolve so differently? From the same small Mid-western community.

Is this the same Margaret Donovan that was interviewed on MSNBC over the weekend? Former JAG? Incredibly smart measured and confident.

Wow! Mike Johnson doesn’t know anything about anything. While I shouldn’t be shocked by his incompetence I am sad I share my country with people who believe this shit is acceptable.

No no no, Kash. You are supposed to release the files you have not the files you don’t have. Yet another “halligan”.

I think it would take two Halligans to make a mulligan but I am still researching this.

Can we agree that having a “Halligan” is a demonstration of gross ineptitude? As in “Did the DOJ just have a halligan?”

Perhaps the repentence has to start somewhere not just continue to be ignored for decades. I agree it was stupid but I think if we continue to reject everyone who makes mistakes they regret, we will fail.

One word to describe current president - Pezzonovante. Popularized in America by Mario Puzo it is used to describe a big shot in the mafia. The way Trump fires everyone he believes is an enemy reminds me of the end of The Godfather. He is axing people he hates and terrorizing us to show his power

Trump appears to suggest the U.S. will resume testing nuclear weapons for first time in 30 years
There was no indication that the U.S. would start detonating warheads, but the president offered few details about what seemed to be a significant shift in U.S. policy.

Some of this sh*t really affects me more than others. And this is one. The crap he said at Arlington and in France is one. There are so many but this one is mine. And it pisses me off. I am sure you all have the most painful ones too. And that is what unites us. How can he hurt everyone at once?

And they were married for fifty plus years until he died of parkinsons disease at 76. Choices. They matter.

So instead he enlisted in the air force where his vision kept him from flying bombing runs. And he therefore sat out the war in Michigan protecting us from the red scourge invading through Canada (his words). While I can point to many disadvantages he always pointed ti his marriage. He met her there

Random thought that is important to me. My brother did not want to go to Vietnam. My father was a twenty year career Naval wnlisted man who retired when Iwas born at CPO. And told my brother he would take him to Canada. My brother decided not to. He went to his induction physical and passed.

They could at least have give you time to respond back. He truly needed a “liar,liar” response that he teed up so nicely for you

Can’t Chicago just enjoy their playoff win? May be more effective at unifying folks than throwing force at the city. And I was routing for the losing team. That’s how America should be ffs.

Just saw an ad against Newsom’s prop 50 map redrawal. Guess who is supporting this? Kevin McCarthy for Congress. Pray for California. Who would actually send this clown back to Congress?

Just WOW. The most sincere thought-provoking article of any I have read in months. Imagine where we would be if it was routinely taught where America fails so we actually came away with Lessons Learned. I am finding that Black journos and pols are more comfortable with fighting back after a loss.

Huh you mean maybe thats why we never heard about cancer, parkinsons, alzheimers, etc in the 19th and 20th century

I liked this because Eisner is right. Unfortunately it is from CBS who didnt get it when it was their turn. So now I am conflicted. What if media outlets I dont respect publish stories I like?

What on earth? When I boycott Disney to support free speech? I am learning the fine art of letting go with grace to embrace a world without corporate shills aiding the oppression. How much money before you find your principals? I am sure they are in a mission statement somewhere on your website

Gave up on sports when the rich owners of the nfl moved our team to LA. I get my sports now through independent journalists, some on The Athletic. And if those cave I will simply let go.

But isn’t it inconsistent with abortion bans? Genetic anomalies that result in non viable fetuses must be carried and then raised/cared for by parents. But if they become homeless then just kill them?

Hey WSJ. Have you received any leaked reporting that you didnt verify lately? And here I thought you were doing better lately.
