Gutting world health in favor of a gilded ballroom only Trump wanted
Until recently, the United States was the biggest funder to the World Health Organization. Ten months after Trump announced the U.S. was withdrawing its membership, WHO just announced it must let go of 2,371 workers, about one-quarter of its workforce. Trump estimates a cost of $300 million for the ballroom that will replace his unauthorized demolition of the White House's East Wing.

Trump’s $300 million ballroom: What else could that money buy?

How about daycare for the children of single mothers? The average cost of it in this country is $343 per week, or $16,464 a year. Even with just one child, that would take a mighty bite out of the single mother's average yearly…
Trump’s $300 million ballroom: What else could that money buy?
How about daycare for the children of single mothers? The average cost of it in this country is $343 per week, or $16,464 a year. Even with just one child, that would take a mighty bite out of the single mother's average yearly earnings of $39,120. Instead of a gilded ballroom, that $300 million could provide a one-year $6000 daycare subsidy for 50,000 single moms.

The New York Times today (6/19/25) labeled the Republican proposal to raise the debt ceiling to $5 trillion as "ideological flexibility."|Since this was in a news article, rather than an editorial, they pulled back from calling it what it really is: rank hypocrisy.

Now that Donald Trump has launched a website to sell ultra-pricey visas to the fabulously wealthy, it's time to replace the woke Statue of Liberty. The Trump Monument would be gold-plated, 152 feet tall, (one foot taller than Lady Liberty), made in China (like the Trump Bible), and depict Trump hugging an American flag. Its inscription: "Give me your rich, your greedy,

Bringing God into a government office
"With God all things are possible." That Bible quote (Matthew 19:26, New King James Version) hung two days ago on the door to the Recorder's office in the Lake County (Indiana) Government Center. It's visible to everyone entering or leaving the building through the main entrance. Recorder Gina Pimentel, re-elected in 2024 for a second four-year term, has posted campaign photos on Facebook that show her family posing in front of a church, or in front of a giant wooden cross (from which I cropped her three young children) and a post celebrating the National Day of Prayer.

A request for What's History buffs: Anybody out there descended from residents of Tampa, Florida living there during the 1910 strike by the city's cigar workers? I'm researching it for a book and looking for mementos, journals, letters, diaries or family stories passed down around dinner tables.
