Endorse. These scenarios make for great stories later. But are terrible in the short term.

When I worked at Andersonville and got to interact with surviving World War II former prisoners of war, I was stunned to discover that Pacific Theatre POWs, and veterans, simply despised Douglas MacArthur. With good reason, as that Showboat soldier abandoned them and then got good press afterward.

In the United States, today should be celebrated - it’s the day we all* kick in and help support our neighbors. It’s the day we take care of the tired, poor, and sick.

*Some restrictions apply. Not valid for millionaires or corporations. Please consult a physician before believing in America.

Ossoff: "Trump apparently promised pardons for entire WH staff, which is what you do when you run it like a casino. Maybe the West Wing is too busy placing bets on the war to care, but American are getting hurt...in Trump’s America the well-connected get stock tips & everybody else makes sacrifices"

"Will that help?" asked the barman. "No," said Ford and gave him a friendly smile.

“President Trump negotiates a two week truce with his imaginary friend” would be a more honest headline.

With all the commercialization of this holiday, sometimes it's easy to forget the reason for it. This man had a vision of a better future for all of us. So when you're having your salmon and singing "Magic Carpet Ride", please remember Zefram Cochrane and all he did for us.

Happy First Contact Day

Large scale public land in Texas is a unicorn; it should not exist. That’s a legacy of how Texas entered the union, as the state kept its public land. Big Bend National Park and Guadalupe Mountains national Park required years of advocacy and philanthropy for the land acquisition to establish them.

There are 14 national park units in the state of Texas.

This also applies to those who divide parks into nature buckets and history buckets.

There is no meaningful difference. All parks contain American history all parks contain natural resources. The focus of an individual park unit varies, depending on legislation, location, nature of resource.

And the vast majority are being reviewed with no official outcome at this time. Removals are happening, and that’s not great, but hysteria doesn’t help.
