totally self-serving post here....My father managed the DQ in El Dorado from the mid 1950's to early 60's. I am sure we served Obama's mother during that time. There was not much else to go

This iconic photo…

On the night he made history, Obama reached for his mother-in-law’s hand.

Michelle later wrote in Becoming that her mom felt his loneliness that night. His father gone since he was 2, his mother and grandmother both passed. Marian said she could feel the “gravity of the passage”

The Supreme Court is expected to run out of federal funding today, according to Patricia McCabe, the court’s public information officer. Personally, I can't think of a better way to serve justice in America.

An urgent question.

According to the FEMA Daily Briefing a presidential disaster declaration was requested on October 16th. To the best of my knowledge it hasn’t been granted. Any event of this size should be an easy and immediate yes.

at the same time, those of use living /working in NYC understood that the DT was a joke. also, in the 2000's when I worked as a construction project mgr in NYC, no legit architect firm/engineering firm/and all contractors across the board would have anything to do with any DT project.

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.

Screenshot of a post on X from Colombian President Gustavo Petro’s verified account. The post reads: “US government officials have committed a murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters. Fisherman Alejandro Carranza had no ties to the drug trade and his daily activity was fishing. The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure. We await explanations from the US government.”

When you commute the sentence of a conman because he is a Republican while ordering your Attorney General to prosecute your enemies because they are Democrats, you are literally a dictator.
