Who’s the most attractive person you’ve ever met in real life? For me it’s gotta be Abraham Lincoln. That was one beautiful man

β€œAll history was a palimpsest, scraped clean and reinscribed exactly as often as was necessary. In no case would it have been possible, once the deed was done, to prove that any falsification had taken place.”

including people enslaved by President George Washington. On January 22, 2026, the National
Park Service ("NPS") removed panels, displays, and video exhibits that referenced slavery and
information about the individuals enslaved at the President's House.
Plaintiff City of Philadelphia ("the City" filed this lawsuit under the Administrative
Procedures Act ("APA") against the Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum…

Apparently there’s a secret rule in football where if a player carries or catches the ball in the painted area at the end of the field his team gets six points. Imagine seeing something like that in a game
