When I hear the phrase "Good Faith Leadership" - - Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, A Marine Vet, comes to mind. Humble Salutes Adrian for keeping it real sharing the importance and dignity of poll workers, staff, and voters at- large. Hooyah Arizona.

Trump's Kennedy Center closure shocks the National Symphony Orchestra Washington's NSO has played at the Kennedy Center since 1971. It wasn't aware that the president planned to close the venue, and finding a new home isn't easy.

Re-awakening.

In a world that’s on fire, what do we do with art?” And “What can music do? Can it actually change things? Like, change the world?

Why did the FBI SAC in Atlanta leave the post? Did he tell Patel there were no election problems in Georgia? Why did a USAG in Missouri get a warrant to use in Georgia? And who is the DNI to show up in Georgia?
