Music and History are my main interests, along with art. Another Twitter/FB refugee...
Very well written and also fun at the same time. Thanks for posting.

Pull out John Quincy Adams diary. When I'm depressed, that book takes me right into the early days of the Republic. It's a more thought provoking place to be rather than today...

I canceled ESPN (owned by Disney). As a big Washington Caps fan it was a sacrifice. But a necessary one given the circumstances.

I just deleted every link I had to CBS news.

Never thought I'd see the day...

It could be "black propaganda", put out by Trumps henchmen to cause a backlash. Be careful.

I really wonder if Jack Kennedy and Ike aren't looking down on us with utter contempt. I can't blame them if they are.

Absolutely. I think there is a very conscious effort to dumb Americans down right now. There is a creeping coup going on.

Going to get out my Beatles albums and shut Donnie boy off for a couple of days

I personally think Hong Kong, since the Chinese took it back in 1997, is the model. Every year, the screws were tightened. You wake up one morning to find freedom gone.

Not to mention Holiday In Waikiki.

I'm sorry to hear its been a bad patch for you. I can only say your books and Yale lectures have taught me quite a bit about our country's history, for which I am quite grateful.

They should pick a former Dr Who. It's the only character who has been portrayed by that many actors...
