@abbydphillip May his soul rest in peace. He will be well honored in the near future when decent folks come to place. With a belated "flags at half mast" recognition as well. RIP.
News: House Speaker Mike Johnson has denied a request for the late Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. to lie in honor at the United States Capitol, citing past precedent over how the deaths of other high-profile figures were handled.

#flags Why no flags at half mast for the late Rev. Jesse Jackson? What are the criteria, or practice for such declaration. What were the last few declarations for?
#FIFAWorldCup why would any team whose team members' family, friends and fans are restricted from entry into a host country go to play in that host country?
#FIFAWorldCup why would any country with visa restrictions to the US send their Soccer team to participate in the World Cup in the US? Their team will be handicapped by lack of home fan supporters.
@espn I pray that Mr. Rose's estate refuses any posthumus induction into the baseball hall of fame. Baseball punished a great player for many years until his death. Gambling? I hope the hall takes thier possible induction hand out and shove it!
Breaking: MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred removed Pete Rose, "Shoeless" Joe Jackson and other deceased players from Major League Baseball’s permanently ineligible list.
Manfred ruled that MLB’s punishment of banned individuals ends upon their deaths. They are now presumably eligible for election into the Baseball Hall of Fame.

@joncoopertweets All of my liberal neighbors that live in California voted for Trump and they are very happy with what he has done so far. What should I say to them? 🤣
My 72-year-old neighbor in Florida — who voted for Trump enthusiastically — is whining to anyone who’ll listen that “they” better not come after his Medicare or Social Security.
What should I say to him?
@RossKneeDeep He is a confused individual. Too freaking late! There's nothing he can do now that will excuse the stupid decisons he has made dogmatically following Trump's wishes and agenda.
@DougWahl1 Maybe the hospital has a list of guiding rules/policies/protocols that it follows? I hope that something can be done so that the kid can get the medical treatment she needs.
BREAKING: Cincinnati Children’s Hospital has denied VP J.D. Vance’s 12-year-old relative a heart transplant because she isn’t vaccinated against COVID-19.
Your thoughts?
@DougWahl1 Should they grant exemption from their rules/protocols because of the kid's relationship? Should hospital policies (like any other policies), agree or not, be followed?
@motoxone2one@jyerokun@cnnbrk There's not enough iron ore in the US to meet demand, nor is there enough smelters to meet demand.
That's why you're an idiot, you don't grasp economics that well. Why do you think the US imports 40% of its steel from Canada and Mexico?
@motoxone2one@cnnbrk Do you envision that the US manufacturers will just flip some switches and start manufacturing more steel and aluminum? Thus quickly prevent the high cost of imports (tariff) from being directly passed on to the consumers?
@siIentmajority@DougWahl1#DOGEGOV Could you please clarify the differences in the missions of the new Executive Branch's DOGE and the Legislative Branch's Government Accountability Office (GAO). Seems like the "audit" permission you just gave is the function of the GAO. Are you familiar with the GAO?
BREAKING- Congressman Jamie Raskin announced today that he will file “a class action suit on behalf of all Americans” against DONALD TRUMP and ELON MUSK for their breach of American data by DOGE.
Will you join the lawsuit?
Your thoughts?
@DougWahl1#DOGEGOV Could someone please clarify the relationship or differences in the missions of the new Executive Branch's DOGE and the Legislative Branch's Government Accountability Office (GAO). #Congress#GovernmentAccountability
@CalltoActivism#DOGEGOV Could someone please clarify the relationship or differences in the missions of the new Executive Branch's DOGE and the Legislative Branch's Government Accountability Office (GAO). #Congress#GovernmentAccountability
