The place where the Wright Brothers flew the first plane was called Kill Devil Hills, by locals & the Fed. govt, beginning years before they came here.
They visited Kitty Hawk, then moved to the KDH site.
No Wright Brothers plane ever flew at a place that was called Kitty Hawk.

It's way down the list, but as a political historian I'm obligated to note that calling his 2024 win a "historic landslide" is laughable bullshit.
Trump did not even clear 50% of the popular vote. His margin of victory was a narrow 1.48%, which means that Jimmy Carter had a much bigger win in 1976.

Pam Bondi telling Minneapolis that ICE will be recalled *only* when that blue city turns over its voter rolls is a clear reveal that this isn't about immigration. It's about interfering with upcoming elections that may not favor Donald Trump.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

the obvious thing for them do is let bovino and noem swing for this, but everyone in the administration has adopted trump’s reflex to double down in every scenario, a strategy that works if you’re the anointed head of a fascist movement and shows up as evidence in your war crime trial if you are not
Bookmark that Vice President and future presidential candidate JD Vance retweeted a post that said Alex Pretti was “an assassin who tried to murder federal agents.”

So, @PamBondi sent the ransom note. She admitted that the domestic terrorism and the murder of Americans happening in Minnesota by this administration will end if Minnesota agrees to send voter rolls. This administration must end. Congress, please step up and defend America.

Minneapolis Police Chief O'Hara: "The video speaks for itself. We have identified this person - 37-year-old, white male, resident of the city.

If one man on the entire earth would stop being a dick, things would calm down by like 50%. One man just waking up and thinking, “Maybe I’ll try not being an absolute dick today” and it would all get significantly better. But that man would rather just be a dick.
Trump: “If Governor Carney thinks he is going to make Canada a ‘Drop Off Port’ for China to send goods and products into the United States, he is sorely mistaken … If Canada makes a deal with China, it will immediately be hit with a 100% Tariff against all Canadian goods and products”

I'm calling bullshit on the media narrative that JD Vance tried to "soften" things in Minneapolis. He blamed the left for ICE violence and called the 5-year-old's father an "illegal alien" even though he's lawfully applying for asylum.

Much of the media is treating the vice president’s Minneapolis visit as an attempt to lower the temperature. If anything, he raised it.
