I became a true fan of Lincoln from "Team of Rivals" and of Douglass from Blight's "Prophet of Freedom", so trekking over to #LaJollaPlayhouse for #3SummersOfLincoln is definitely on my radar. Btw... Did you know Lincoln grew his beard per advice from a little girl? www.yahoo.com/entertainmen...

"Nobody goes into a government funded science... to get rich off of the taxpayer's dime. They are going into the work because they think that it has value and contributes to American health, to the American way of life and to the American economy." #MuskSucks

The thing is... Even if you don't live next to where these major infernos take place -- even if you're 1,000 miles... hell, 2,000 miles away... the smoke is coming for you, even if your hang is Mar a Lago... Keep that in mind.

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” ― Theodore Roosevelt

Back in FB days, I only warned this was coming a million times: "Somebody at SEAL training is going to get sick". Nobody seems to care other than residents of Imperial Beach. All that useless border wall money that could have gone to a practical solution instead... #RealSolutions #TJRiver

At a time when DEI and history is taking a hit nationally through means both executive and, more sadly, voluntary, it's good to see Yale's "Long Talk" program continue along with the rest of the Ivy's "Eight Against Hate" initiative. Btw... Yale hoops is FIRE! yalebulldogs.com/news/2023/9/...

Leaving farmers w/out water this summer so #Twitler can have a photo op. Of course, if there's no water for the crops, won't have to worry about produce. And if there's no produce, don't need pesky illegals. You see where this eventually breaks down, right? www.yahoo.com/news/acting-...
