Remember when Senator Bernie Sanders was called a "radical, socialist, communist, leftist" for suggesting that the minimum wage should be increased to $15 per hour. Even Amazon realizes that people can't make it and won't take their job for low wages. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Trump falsely accused people of damaging the Reflecting Pool saying, "I saw it. They cut it. They cut it very violently". Now we know the truth, it was contractor error. Time for Trump to pay out of his personal money restitution to the accused, say $500,000 each. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/11/c...
