The Kennedy Center was named after my uncle, President John F Kennedy. It was named in his honor. He was a man who was interested in the arts, interested in culture, interested in education, language, history. He brought the arts into the White House, and he and my Aunt Jackie amplified the arts, celebrated the arts, stood up for the arts and artists.
It is beyond comprehension that this sitting president has sought to rename this great memorial dedicated to President Kennedy. It is beyond wild that he would think adding his name in front of President Kennedy’s name is acceptable. It is not.
Next thing perhaps he will want to rename JFK Airport, rename the Lincoln Memorial, the Trump Lincoln Memorial. The Trump Jefferson Memorial. The Trump Smithsonian. The list goes on.
Can we not see what is happening here? C’mon, my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny. This is way beneath the stature of the job. It’s downright weird. It’s obsessive in a weird way. Just when you think somone can’t stoop any lower, down they go…
Some solid plates of food going around, love to see it.
First the Max Fire:
Second the Orleans Complex:
Always great when subscribers send in pictures of fat plates of food on wildfires.

* The Grand Canyon Lodge in the Park burned down due to the Dragon Bravo Fire. 500 guests had to be evacuated from the Park.
* The Deer Creek Fire in Utah had a massive firewhirl, honestly, it was a tornado that ripped roofs off houses and tossed debris and vehicle parts into fire engines on scene. All while the fire went huge. Folks on scene say it was the craziest Fire weather they have seen in 25 years.

@MMeyers376121@FightWithMemes Approximately 37% of SNAP recipients are white, 26% of SNAP recipients are Black and approximately 16% of SNAP recipients are Hispanic. according to the Food Research & Action Center.
@MMeyers376121@FightWithMemes You just assume they’re not working? Why? Perhaps they work swing shift, graveyards. Very biased of you to make that assumption.
@FightWithMemes The USDA provides different budget plans (thrifty, low-cost, moderate-cost, and liberal) for various family sizes and ages. For a family of four, a thrifty plan might be around $976.60 per month, while a liberal plan could be closer to $1,604.
@FightWithMemes Ridiculous. Not even true at all. A family of four with a net monthly income of $1,000 might have a maximum allotment of $975. Their SNAP benefit would be calculated as: 30% of their net income: 0.30 * $1,000 = $300. SNAP benefit: $975 - $300 = $675
The @KSL5TV Investigators have already fact-checked the Governor on a claim that Utah's fentanyl crisis is tied to immigration policy/changes at the border.
The DEA notes the vast majority of the drugs roll right through legal ports of entry: https://t.co/7kqtwgxZqN
Happy Birthday to me! 80 years young, and still spreading wildfire safety fun. Cheers to eight decades of saying #OnlyYou can prevent wildfires!

@BossBlunts1 Question…how do you know she was an illegal immigrant? And I question that balance…I’ve worked with SNAP & TANF clients and that balance is not believable at all.
Former Hotshot could use a little help after losing home in the New Mexico fires.
