Thoughts for the day

A nice Friday.

My Econ 101 class in college did not give me enough to understand the economics for my presentation on Saturday. This will be a challenge for sure.

I get protests, but I do not get destroying property…these Tesla burnings are not OK.

The VA in Phoenix has removed all 22 tribal flags from its office hallways. They say they are complying with DOGE. Disgusting.

On Monday this week Trump said he would release all JFK assassination files to the public without redactions. So a whole lot of unredacted files were released on Tuesday. First, there were no smoking guns to help conspiracy fanatics found. Om fact, the majority of the files released had been previously released but redacted. Second, by not redacting the files it released the names, SS#’s and DOB of many staff members and interviewees from the committees. Many are still living. Now SS has said they will provide new SS#’s to those who are still alive…what a mess.
