To pick your nit... To extrapolate a bit. The Heritage Foundation (while not an official agency but a major policy decision maker for the Trump Administration) made complaint based on an executive order from the President. If you connect the dots someone in the Presidents orbit told someone important in tie American Battlefields Commission. Not a direct order but close enough. Especially considering some of the drivel you link to

Next Arch and MAGA will tell us Ken Burns is too woke.

No, I’m not picking and choosing history. I’m recognizing the difference between remembering it and glorifying it. Criticizing a politician isn’t a mental health issue — it’s part of being an informed citizen.

They can't handle the truth.

The statues were erected by groups like sons and Daughters of the Confederacy to honor those who REBELLED AGAINST OUR NATION. I'm glad you support TRAITORS? Most of us acknowledge that several of our founders owned slaves. It's just that Generals and politicians who were traitors. I've spent a major portion of my life living south of the Mason Dixon Line and prefer an honest portrayal of the folks. Not the made up history many of us of a certain age were taught. To those people history does hurt. That's why they tried to whitewash it.

So was Michigan. I'd usually head to the registrar's office to vote early since I was considered a senior citizen. But then I'm a white male

Why do I have flashbacks to the 80s and the Variable Rate Mortgages that seemed low at first but when the 60 month introductory period was probably, watch out. I can't see how anyone would expect to build any sort of equity in their home under the 600 month plan

I have no problem with showing ID. I do receive a mail in ballot. It asks for basic info like social security number. I suppose you'd prefer a DNA sample

Soon they will be issuing white sheets to members of the military. Thread History hurts, so called conservatives a hell bent on white washing it

We just need to do away with the Electoral College, especially the winner take all part. I really don’t think that was ever part of Madison’s thinking at the time. The idea was to have a group of wise men choose the Chief Executive. When Jefferson, Adams, Madison and others created political parties the whole plan went to hell. If you must have an EC assign proportional votes to the states. It’s more democratic

The only time I see return labels in use is one the few Christmas cards that still include the “we accomplished so much in the past year” Joe’s out on parole, Patsy finally finished that afghan she’s been working on the past 10 years. Had a great time at Six Flags.

Have you seen lobster prices lately? We ain’t getting that much from Trumpdontcare

But probably not at a discounted rate one would expect if the government negotiates rates as they currently do fo insurance like Medicare

Still, Arnold reports today to Gen. Washington, he plans to cross the St. Lawrence River to attack the British-held fortress city as soon as possible. He has reports that the Quebeckers, too, are short on food, and may surrender if pressed.

Does Sleepy Don understand how business actually works?

November 8

Only if they turn the big new ballroom into a practice facility. Imagine naming a stadium after the man who single-handedly bankrupted a football league

I stumbled across this....part of her "solo" series...interesting

Trump's Stasi is at it again

Any state that has its political lines drawn by its legislature is guilty of some sort of political bias. The only fair redistricting seems be be multi member districts based on population proportions. Using Michigan as an example 4 multi member Congressional districts. Detroit Metro, West Michigan, Mid Michigan, and Northern Michigan and the UP. Metro Detroit gets 4 seats based on population size, the rest get three. Utilize A-I to help with mapping the districts as well as an outside no political organization. Go to proportional allocation of Electorial votes. The plan I ran on ChatGPT had the outcome in both districts and EC votes as 7-6 in favor of Republicans. Makes more sense than winner take all. The House seats also came out 7-6, GOP
