Woman with a Broom. I believe if we work smart and together, we will get that magic we are working towards, and the realization of the many ScienceFiction movies in my head where the White House=WestWing and C Street=Madam Secretary. It can still happen.

Before there was the El Capitan on Hollywood Boulevard, there was an El Capitan on Vine Street. The top pic shows a variety show there in 1948.

The venue opened in 1927 as the Hollywood Playhouse, changing names over the years, eventually becoming The Palace and now Avalon.

Yup, Matt.....we all wonder if anyone is home. What do you think?
I want to know who’s at the keyboard tonight because his account has been posting like this for over an hour now.

95% is just bullshit screenshots from X and videos of weirdos from TikTok but the volume and rapid fire frequency is atypical.

My bipartisan IRS MATH Act with Senator Bill Cassidy is now law.

Now, if you mess up your taxes, the IRS has to tell you where you made a mistake and how to fix it.

No more spending a fortune on lawyers or hours to find errors.

That means fewer headaches and more money in your pocket.
