Fifty years ago my Scout troop was raising the flag on Lexington Green. We'd practiced for a week, terrified that we'd somehow attach the wrong grommets and it would ascend upside down. We pulled it off. America, not so much

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

USAID, now US Forest Service. They keep demolishing institutions that were deeply problematic, but nowhere near as awful as their erasure. I think this is big, bad news, the real news of the day, not that nothing-to-see-here speech.

What corrupt politicians did with US taxpayer money. Bankrupting the better reputation [not perfect] of the USA that was earned over decades and centuries, paid for in dollars and lives. The schoolgirls died for hollow white men who want to run a department of war, endlessly. The shame.
