Ok, everyone, what book is sacred enough to you to get sworn in on?
Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

General reminder of the words of proud son of Virginia, Major-General George H Thomas. The "Rock of Chickamauga". Who, unlike Lee, stayed loyal to the Union.
Post-war he had views on 'Lost Cause' and the damage it would do to America, unchecked.
A “counterfeit varnish of patriotism” he called it.

![[T]he greatest efforts made by the defeated insurgents since the close of the war have been to promulgate the idea that the cause of liberty, justice, humanity, equality, and all the calendar of the virtues of freedom, suffered violence and wrong when the effort for southern independence failed. This is, of course, intended as a species of political cant, whereby the crime of treason might be covered with a counterfeit varnish of patriotism, so that the precipitators of the rebellion might go down in history hand in hand with the defenders of the government, thus wiping out with their own hands their own stains; a species of self-forgiveness amazing in its effrontery, when it is considered that life and property—justly forfeited by the laws of the country, of war, and of nations, through the magnanimity of the government and people—was not exacted from them.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5h5jfgi7vuqp4bkfogcntzep/bafkreifigvhyvtmy3mxp2btoxw5gztwrmyujtmpywsraabtjsq6oyrs4gq@jpeg)

Not coincidentally this is a pretty good list of Most Important Companies to Unionize.
The Boston Globe identified the companies in Massachusetts that employ the most SNAP recipients. A key stat: "In Massachusetts, 74% of working-age recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program are employed, half of them full-time."

In Baton Rouge, three boys facing gun charges got a second chance. Here's what happened.
Plenty of court intervention programs exist in Baton Rouge, though District Attorney Hillar Moore said there are few, if any, around the country that take in youth caught with guns.

Just want to point out:
There are a lot of powerful men really worried about the Epstein Report (though many of the same we’re worried about the Panama papers too). But again, not many women are worried about being “on the list”.
Interesting no?
Not all men, but yet always men.

True fact: There is no publicly displayed portrait or likeness on campus of LSU's first president.
And let the record show he was undefeated against Georgia and South Carolina

Reminder to LSU: when the CFB Hall of Fame puts Brian Kelly in for his time at Notre Dame and Cincinnati, they will mail you a plaque with his face on it. There is no law, guideline, or incentive for you to display it anywhere. You can absolutely just not put it up!
