In Praise of California It has its flaws — what place doesn’t? — but it plays a big role in America’s greatness

"California paid in a lot more [to the federal government] than it got back — $83 billion in total. So did Washington state and much of the Northeast. Most red states were in the reverse position, getting much more from DC than they paid in return."

Huge gratitude for our neighbors, Mexico and Canada have sent fire fighters and army to help us.

🙏

Happy New Year 🎊🍾

Cool

Inside ‘Sesame Street’ as it fights to survive Go behind the scenes as “Sesame Street” takes on the emotional health of children — and, with an HBO deal ending, the health of the show itself.

I cannot imagine a world without Sesame Street.

Grover. Bert. Ernie. Big Bird. Oscar. Snuffleupagus. Cookie Monster. The Count. Harry. Telly.

I think for many of us these are characters who exist somewhere between fantasy and reality, as they were there for us daily as we formed our sense of self.

"Sweeping and Systematic" Election Interference by RUSSIA for Trump (Mueller 2019) This never ended. 2024 Election needs investigation

100%. Although there’s no excuse for our intel communities not realizing this in 2016.

Legacy media is telling us that what we see happening isn't really happening.

Santa said I’ve been good this year, so I wished for you to be as happy as I am! 😂🎅

Good morning

Traveling through millennia-old monuments, every stone in Rome tells a story. It makes people feel the sigh of time and the affection of years!

Maybe someday, women in America will have as many rights as guns do.

Misunderstandings like this do happen accidentally, and cultural differences can be really unprepared! lol, at least you now have a completely unique travel story to tell!

Just like Trump trying to cheat! He too is a joke! Just because you have money you won't get into Heaven

Friday, like a gentle farewell, puts an end to a busy week🫠

You did something very meaningful

Love French food as always💕

Great place for hiking and cycling👍

This reminds me of a seminar on "Economy and Sanctions" that Melissa and I attended in Moscow, Russia in April 2022, and the impact of economic sanctions on the economies of various countries. Two years later, the turbulent situation in the world has become more and more uncertain

Indeed, the historical lessons of the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act are worth pondering

Wow, Bluesky is gaining momentum and is now approaching 24 million users because people really like using it.

I often feel that it may be more beneficial to maintain an open and skeptical attitude in many things

Indeed, no matter where we are, we should remember to be grateful and appreciate all the good things around us
