Found in Florida! So one of the owners of a hotel, Judi was walking on the beach this morning cleaning up the junk that washed into shore and finds a bottle with a message in it. There is also some sand and 2 one dollar bills. Once we get it open and read the notes we find out that it is in fact NOT sand. It is the ashes of this woman's husband of 70 years named Gordon. She writes that He loved to travel so she sent him traveling in a bottle with a note and money for someone to call home and tell her where he landed. He started at Big Pine Key in March of 2012 and then went to Islamorada where someone found him. ❤
They added a note and sent him traveling again and he landed on our beach in Key Colony. Judi called the wife in Tennessee who was excited to know of Gordon's travels! Judi added her note, we put him in a rum bottle (you know added a little fun to his trip) with the three notes. We added another dollar in case Gordon travels far and a long distance call is needed. We will be having a memorial service or celebration of his life on our beach later today before sending him on his way again." 🥰🥰😋😋

July 6, 1936, Route 66, New Mexico. This is Martha Evans, 32. She had been walking for three days. Her husband died of tuberculosis in Oklahoma in May. The farm was foreclosed. She took the six kids and a Radio Flyer wagon and started west for California. The twins in the wagon were 11 months old. The boys walking were 6, 5, 4, and 3. Her dress was torn on barbed wire. Her leg was cut and infected. She wrapped it with a feed sack. She had $1.60 in her pocket. A photographer from the Resettlement Administration saw them and pulled over. He offered her a ride. She said no. She said if she took a ride now, the kids would expect one every time they were tired. She gave him her name and kept walking. The photo ran in newspapers across the country. Donations came to a PO box in Barstow. She got $200 and a bus ticket. She made it to Bakersfield and picked grapes. All six kids lived. Three went to college. Martha died in 1978. The wagon is in the Smithsonian.

"The UFC event captures something about this moment in our history.

After all, it’s vulgar, it’s violent, it’s commercial, it’s grandiose, it’s tacky, and it dishonors a place once thought worthy of care and respect. In other words, it’s Donald Trump."

ZELENSKYY: War will stop if Russia decides to stop. I understand what Russians and Americans discussed in Anchorage. Putin's lying to Trump. It's a mistake to negotiate about Ukraine without Ukraine, especially for U.S. We're ready to stop the war, but won't leave our territory.

Possibly the most technical goal in football history

Freedom of movement rules give WNBA refs too much power

Just due to incidental contact refs can easily call offensive or defensive fouls for a defender or offensive driver

Refs choose who fouls based on who they like

They Like BSykes PBueckers & Hate CClark, ABoston

BREAKING: CNN Just Highlighted A Pretty Devastating Number.

84% of Americans say the Epstein files reinforce their belief that powerful people are rarely held accountable.

Think about that.

Not 84% of Democrats.

Not 84% of Republicans.

84% of Americans.

The breakdown was even more striking:

- 82% of Republicans
- 80% of Independents
- 90% of Democrats

Prediction markets have reportedly lowered the odds that Todd Blanche becomes Trump's next Attorney General.

The Epstein controversy isn't creating distrust.

It's validating distrust that was already there.

And now it's starting to affect people connected to the administration.

We have a crisis of leadership and to be fair, it's an indictment of both parties.

Three structural problems created this mess.

1. Tightened Duopoly.

Ross Perot got 19.9% of the vote in 1992 and scared the daylights out of both parties.

So they quietly collapsed the system around third parties.

2. Gerrymandering.

Local authorities draw the congressional districts.

If they like you, your house is in. If they don't, your house gets cut out.

Are we in a real democracy if the politicians are picking the voters?

I thought it was supposed to work the other way around.

3. Citizens United.

Justice Scalia said if you have money you have a First Amendment right to spend unlimited amounts on political candidates. The PAC era was born.

Since that decision the legislative agenda has skewed toward big pharma, big food, and tax cuts for the rich and politicians don't care because the structural rigging keeps them in office regardless.

That's the system. Both parties built it. Both parties benefit from it.
