- A machine town run by one corrupt party, the Democrats.
- A world-famous home of organized crime, from the mafiosi of the Prohibition Era to the drug gangs of today.
- A tax and regulatory hell where the government’s share of your income, both above board and under the table, was always painful...

It would not be happening without a failure leadership at MIT.
Imagine being a student who borrowed $250k to attend MIT or a professor who is trying to do research in this environment.

In Wyoming, cheap electricity is gone with the wind | Blaze Media:
Who needs cheap natural fuel when you can have expensive and inefficient wind power?
Last week, the Wall Street Journal reported that Rocky Mountain Power, the state’s largest utility company, announced the nearly 30% hike in rates due to rising costs. Residents responded with outrage. They had thought, with good reason, that the state’s abundance of resources would shield them from the national trend. The state’s Public Service Commission is expected to vote on whether to sign off on the increase later this month.

Nope, not joking.
A German kindergarten has said it will drop Anne Frank from its name in favour of a "more diverse" alternative, adding fuel to the national debate over anti-Semitism amid the Israel-Hamas war.
Anne Frank was 15 years old when she died in the Nazi's Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945...

Must read!-Freedom is never free. RIP.-----The Tribute to a Little-Known Soldier | The Free Press
The Tribute to a Little-Known Soldier | The Free Press - By Joe Nocera
- A small plaque to a young veteran in a New York park tells a very American story of sacrifice.
His name was Emilio Barbosa.
The inscription said that he was a native of Nicaragua who had lived on Pinehurst Avenue, a street that borders the west side of the park.
At 17 he joined the Marines and spent the next two years manning a 20mm gun turret on the USS Nevada, fighting first at Normandy Beach and then in the Pacific theater.
He died at the age of 19, when a Japanese kamikaze pilot flew into the Nevada as she bombarded Okinawa.
Barbosa’s small plaque, low to the ground and under a tree, is easy to miss.

...Armistice Day
The Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, marking the official end of World War I. Nonetheless, the armistice date of November 11, 1918, remained in the public imagination as the date that marked the end of the conflict.
- One year later, in November 1919, U.S. President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed November 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day. The day’s observation included parades and public gatherings, as well as a brief pause in business and school activities at 11 a.m.
- On November 11, 1921, an unidentified American soldier killed in the war was buried at Arlington National Cemetery near Washington, D.C. On the same day the previous year, unidentified soldiers were laid to rest at Westminster Abbey in London and at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
