I didnโ€™t really appreciate where I lived until I became an adultโ€ฆ. Always envious of kids who lived โ€œin townโ€. My g/parents had a dairy farm down the roadโ€ฆ. Lots of adventures for kids in the country! I miss that life now. ๐Ÿ˜

This is now without question the biggest politico-financial scandal in United States history. Teapot Dome was trivial in comparison.

Robin, the restaurant Wendyโ€™s created a 1/3 pound burger to compete for market share with MacDonalds, but the plan failed because Americans thought a 1/4 pound was bigger than 1/3 pound. Americans are just not that bright as a whole. Politicianโ€™s have been working for decades to make this so.

Five Ways Tuesdayโ€™s Results Will Affect Voting Rules and Democracy From felony disenfranchisement and mail voting to mid-decade gerrymanders, Tuesday delivered verdicts on election law across these five states.

Last fall, Maine voters rejected a measure with restrictions on voting, 64 to 36 percent. โ€œIt sends a strong message that Mainers agree: We should not be making it harder for people to have their voices heard,โ€ the Maine secretary of state told Bolts.

Newsrooms across the world should be treating the Epstein files as a top-tier story.
If coverage is being sidelined, that editorial choice is worth paying attention to.

Well well well. Looks like they were correct. They just lied about who it was.

WOLFF: โ€œ.. if the American public knew the real nature of Donald Trumpโ€™s long relationship with Jeffery Epstein, they would turn away in horror and revulsion. So sue me. Letโ€™s sue each other. I have nothing to hide, Mr. President, but you surely do.โ€

Trump is closing yet another failed business venture, the Kennedy Center, on July 4th for a 2 year "renovation."
