Wednesday mood...

Gutting way to begin the week. Roberta Flack has died. Her music was part of the soundtrack of my youth & I recall my folks playing it on our home stereo in the living room, & them slow dancing to it in the kitchen. Hearing her voice today feels like a hug from family. m.youtube.com/watch?v=d8_f...

This is bad for America's understanding of its military and what it's military is doing in their name NBC, NYTimes, NPR and Politico will be kicked out of their Pentagon bureau on 14 Feb so they can be replaced by New York Post, OANN, Breitbart, and the recently ideologically realigned HuffPost.

The Citadel was ordered to admit women in '95 after a suit by Shannon Faulkner, who sought admission. A federal judge, citing the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment, ruled for Faulkner, ordering The Citadel to admit her & other women. So, Mace was a DEI admission. Am I doing this right?
