The Flaw Income Inequality in America
YouTube video by Call Me Irrepressible
youtu.be
Our election was never about the price of eggs🍳it is about INCOME INEQUALITY. For the 1st time ever U.S. children are economically worse off than their parents. The majority of resources go to a few, while most of us survive off less & less-yet our living costs continue to rise💵

Just to timestamp that "10 year-old Gore Vidal flying a bespoke plane in a Pathé newsreel" existed prior to the AI onslaught.
I believe Gore Vidal's father, who Amelia was romantically involved with, may have been more likely to discourage her. Here's Gore as a ten-year-old flying a plane constructed by his father Eugene Luther Vidal. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vecd...

This Year’s WHCD Serves Only to Normalize Trump’s First Amendment Dumpster Fire — I Won’t Be a Part of It
Trump's attacks on the free press are a threat to democracy, or so insist many in the press. So why is the WHCA holding a black tied soiree with a red carpet?

My take on the unsung hero of #Signalgate, Laurene Powell Jobs:
WaxWord in praise of Laurene Powell Jobs, owner of #TheAtlantic and unsung hero of #Signalgate: Though a billionaire, she has not found a reason to kiss Trump’s ring. Did not show up at inauguration, did not change editorial policy. She just stands behind journalism www.thewrap.com/laurene-powe...

In 1862, a Union soldier found cigars wrapped in a piece of paper in a field of clover. The paper was a copy of Confederate Gen. Lee's invasion orders. The Southern sloppiness helped the Union stop Lee at Antietam.
It's unknown who lost the orders in the field, or if he was related to Pete Hegseth.
