An apt day to remember that Dolly Parton once recorded a cover of Stairway to Heaven - and, in defiance of every moral law in the universe, she absolutely owned it.
As usual, here’s what’s not included in this headline.
He has an extensive criminal history & prison stints including multiple felony weapons convictions and drug convictions as well as probation violations in two different states.
All of which was after his deployment to Iraq.
This is pure medieval savagery.
A 19-year-old girl buried in a hole and stoned to death by Taliban savages for “adultery” after she tried to escape a forced marriage.
No rights and no mercy. Just rocks, screams, and “Allahu Akbar.”
Afghan women are trapped under this nightmare with zero defense. The world watches and does NOTHING. Why aren't all the Hollywood celebrities and influencers enraged about this?
I’m sick that I feel so powerless to help these women.

STARING TONIGHT: And Every Sunday, Until The 25th Anniversary, I Will Post Investigative Content About The Untold Stories of 9/11.
I Begin With FBI records That Have Been Withheld From The Public And The 9/11 Families About Who Helped The Hijackers Inside The US.
There Is So Much More To The Story.....
The family of Doris Miller, a Black U.S. Navy sailor who died in action in World War II, is reacting to reports that an aircraft carrier under construction that was set to be named in his honor might be renamed for President Trump.
Marcelo Mayer has been sidelined by a right foot bone bruise from a prior injury. He was sore while playing in Triple-A, so he’ll rest this weekend and then get reevaluated when the Giants return home. That’s why he didn’t end up back in Boston.
This is 100’s of times a day, across most of the eastern half of San Francisco. I ride past many like him just riding from the Mission to the FiDi. The idea of “leadership” lying to the voting public that everything is hunky-dory is itself a civic crime that should be prosecuted.
Today, I had the honor to present the state of our city.
For the first time in five years, San Franciscans believe we're moving in the right direction. Our recovery is well underway.
The work now is to make it durable for everyone. For that to happen, we have to keep our focus on public safety, clean streets, and a lasting economic recovery.
2025 will go down as one of the safest years in our city's history. Crime is down nearly 30%, car break-ins are at a 22-year low, and homicides haven't been this low since 1954.
The fentanyl crisis changed our city, so we have changed our approach. We stopped freely handing out drug supplies and made San Francisco a recovery-first city. Encampments are down 44% from 2024 and we've opened 600 new treatment-focused beds.
Over the past year, cleaner, safer streets helped our economy come roaring back.
But one year of momentum is not enough. When tech booms, opportunity grows—but so does anxiety about rising rents and displacement. This boom-and-bust cycle has historically left too many people behind. Opportunity and stability must rise together for every resident and every neighborhood.
Today marks the beginning of our Family Opportunity Agenda—a powerful effort to reduce the cost of living for San Francisco families by tens of thousands of dollars each year.
In December, we approved The Family Zoning Plan—a generational roadmap that will help ensure San Franciscans can afford to raise their kids here and expand housing supply while preserving the character of our neighborhoods and protecting rent-controlled buildings.
And starting this month, a family of four making less than $230K a year will qualify for free childcare at hundreds of high-quality providers across San Francisco. By this fall, those earning up to $310K a year will receive a 50% subsidy.
Twelve months into this administration, the state of our city is resilient. But I don’t just want to bring San Francisco back. I want to build something better that will last, a city you and your children and their children are proud to call home.
We're just getting started, and we aren't going to leave anyone behind.
Let's go, San Francisco.
Today is August 21!
I was diagnosed with cancer on this day in 2017. It was the day of the solar eclipse. I'll never forget going to the doctor after working the morning show in boston, being told it was probably not cancer, fighting for a CT scan, 6 hours later being told it was in fact probably Hodgkin's lymphoma, then a very sad call to my mom & dad. Cried crocodile tears driving home. In total trauma shock. Disbelief. Why me? Called my boss at nbc. Life changed that day.
Everything I remotely thought was important - wasn't. I was 23.
big pause.
SO
TODAY
I'm gonna have
the
BEST DAY!!!!! ❤️
