Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis (A 10-year-old boy in 1936 Michigan travels in search of his father, dealing with poverty, hunger, and foster care).

For the Great Depression unit I would recommend - Out of the Dust by Karen Hesse (Follows young Billie Jo as she deals with the loss of her mother, the destruction of their farm, and life during the Dust Bowl).

Vibrant book cover for a book about the Roaring 1920’s written for young audiences.

For the 20’s unit I would recommend - The Roaring Twenties: Discover the Era of Prohibition, Flappers, and Jazz by Marcia Amidon Lusted: it provides an engaging overview of the era’s pop culture, prohibition, and the stock market, and it’s written for young readers.

Thanks for the update Neal!

Herein lies the problem we face today. We have an Executive Branch that operates openly above the law because it has been empowered by John Robert’s Supreme Court. The Bondi DOJ operates like a mob boss capo to enforce the will of its leader, not the law for the people.

The judiciary depends on the executive branch to carry out its decisions, relying on the President's duty to "take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed". A fundamental aspect of enforcement is the public's and government's belief in the rule of law.

Federal judges' rulings are primarily enforced by the U.S. Marshals Service, the executive branch's enforcement arm, which executes court orders, but courts also use federal prosecutors, contempt powers (fines/arrest), and can appoint other officials (like local police) for enforcement

I’m having a blast riding around in Vegas using ride shares from Uber and Lyft. Talking with the drivers and hearing their stories are fascinating! Just spoke with a guy who is Zimbabwean living here in Vegas. The back story made the drive worth the price of the trip.

OMG!!! I haven’t seen this movie in decades but immediately knew it as soon as I saw the film poster. Classic 80’s movie!🍿

No news updates but that’s not surprising considering the current state of the world. News media would see this as a minor story. Looks like there was a continuance from earlier this month on the preliminary hearing. Here is the link to the court case: services.saccourt.ca.gov/PublicCaseAc...

Very cool memories! Reminds me of my time working on air at WODU at Old Dominion University in Norfolk. Some of my absolute favorite memories!!!

What a loss to the @wtopnews.bsky.social family and for all of the many listeners who have listened to that wonderful voice for years. Thank you for sharing and sorry for your loss Neal.

🤔 at age 62 that is one very old child! Of course the car accident, head trauma and spinal compression had absolutely nothing to do with her dying.🥴

Congratulations!!!🎉🎊

To be fair Speaker Johnson is the most forgettable and underwhelming speaker of the last half century. No exaggeration.

I love finding and supporting local businesses in my community! Was craving something different and authentic last night and this didn’t disappoint!

There is a reason that pasteurization exists. Sadly people don’t understand or care to believe close to 100 years of science. I pray that we don’t continue to cascade backwards in this country.

This is a tragedy that never needed to happen. I am sorry for her loss. I am sorry that she believed bad information and didn’t understand what she needed to do to protect her family. I place 💯 percent blame at people like RFK jr who have tried to normalize these types of activities.

They should be charged with child endangerment!!! If any citizen took off and left the children alone in a car they would 💯 % be charged with a crime! 🤬

I will 💯 percent respect your right to disagree with what I think or say. I 💯 percent will never agree with your right to ignore or deny facts that don’t support your beliefs when not convenient! Facts Matter…Truth Matters, because the truth will set you free.
