General Eisenhower in postwar Berlin, 1945--Can you spot any future leader in the picture?

Incase you missed Trump's congressional speech here is a brief summary

Gene Hackman has passed away at the age of 95. Gene was one of the greatest actors of his, or anyone's generation. He was a powerhouse, as adept at comedy as he was drama. Today is a very sad day, we've lost a legend. Gene was a giant of cinema. R.I.P Gene Hackman

@innoutburger_ Come to New Zealand!

Who else is craving In-N-Out?

@LarrySabato Might I suggest Golf of America as a compromise 🙃

Gulf of Mexico. Gulf of Mexico. Gulf of Mexico. Gulf of Mexico. Now and forever. #GulfOfMexico

Canada’s response to U.S. tariffs. Justin Trudeau's best speech. Canada will place 25% tariffs on $155 billion in US imports in retaliation for Trump tariffs. That is an addition to a nationwide boycott on all US products across Canada. #cdnpoli #tariffwar

Despicable. As families grieve, Trump should be leading, not lying. We put safety first, drove down close calls, grew Air Traffic Control, and had zero commercial airline crash fatalities out of millions of flights on our watch. President Trump now oversees the military and the FAA. One of his first acts was to fire and suspend some of the key personnel who helped keep our skies safe. Time for the President to show actual leadership and explain what he will do to prevent this from happening again.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

@innoutburger_ Visiting the In-N-Out at LAX is an iconic experience for aviation geeks and burger connoisseurs. I went at sunset. It was spectacular. Very highly recommended.

In-N-Out and the 🇺🇸

One of the hundreds of cats that survived the LA wildfires. The @PasadenaHumane Society is doing a great job caring for and fostering them. They could use our support. pasadenahumane.org

@GeraldoRivera I raise my middle finger to full staff to such cravenness dressed as a call for unity.

Because it makes sense, and to prevent a schism on what should be a day of unity and optimism, we should all join in raising the flag to Full Staff on Inauguration Day. We have appropriately honored President Carter. This way, we would also be honoring the country’s future.

In '61, John F. Kennedy was Inaugurated on the Capitol steps, in windchills of 7 degrees. It was almost as cold for Obama in '09. In fairness, Trump IS more than 3 decades older than JFK & Obama were. Or did he just fear small crowds?

@Acosta Thank you, Jim, for all you do. With very best wishes from New Zealand.

Some final thoughts on today’s show… on the free press in America. The free press is only “crumbling” if we the people allow that to happen. Watch:

yapping cats are the best 😼😹

Happy 94th Birthday, Robert Duvall In less than 20 minutes screen time in Apocalypse Now, Duvall earned an Oscar nomination, owns the epic 'Ride of the Valkyries' sequence and delivers one of the most iconic quotes in cinema history. 'I love the smell of napalm in the morning.'
