@wral.bsky.social One person's view here, but here it is: So long as the President blocks longtime, credentialed, journalism companies from the White House because he doesn't like what they say about him, some organizations are not playing his speech, including his speech at the UN. Please

The Kennedy Center was financially stable until Trump took over: "In the fiscal year ending in 2024, when the center was led by President Deborah Rutter and a bipartisan board of trustees, it brought in about $40 million more than it spent" www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026...

Did you know? Sir Christopher Lee met Rasputin's assassins, was a RAF intelligence officer in WWII, spoke 9 languages, was Ian Fleming's cousin, and was the only actor in “The Lord of the Rings” to have met J.R.R. Tolkien. He was also married to the same woman for over 50 years. Original post

@therickwilson.bsky.social and @lincolnproject.us Ad idea: Talk about the demolition of the Kennedy Center and juxtapose it against the destruction of the World Trade Center, both done by people who couldn't get their way, so they terrorized.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

US home prices just hit an all-time high with 30-year mortgages at 6.55%. 10 years ago, the average new home cost $350,000 and rates were 3.5%. Today, it costs $540,600 and rates are 6.55%. Meanwhile, 49% of Americans under 30 now live with a parent, up from 37% in 2019. Crazy numbers.

"There's nothing to it," he said, "if you have a magic staff." "But it's only a big pencil," the Humbug objected, tapping at it with his cane. "True enough," agreed the Mathemagician; "but once you learn to use it, there's no end to what you can do."

Fun fact: The last time a country tried to impose a toll on an international shipping lane was 1429, when Denmark imposed a 1% to 2% toll on the Øresund Strait. The toll was abolished by the 1857 Copenhagen Convention, at which the US and other nations declared such tolls illegal.
