@BeschlossDC Ironically Post left it to the Federal Govt. upon her death in 1973 to become a Presidential retreat. Little did she know that Trump woukd buy it and that it woukd become a Presidential retreat, albeit not owned by the government
This is what happens when classical education disappears. A mind never trained by Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, Madison, Tocqueville, or Orwell starts confusing labels with thinking.
A country loses more than knowledge when it loses serious education.
It loses the mental strength to argue like adults.
Every serious debate now gets flattened into the same lazy insults:
“Commie.”
“Fascist.”
“Traitor.”
“Anti-Semite”
Housing, wages, college debt, health care, inflation, immigration, and war all deserve real discussion and argument.
Instead, people reach for labels because labels require no brain, no study, no history, and no discipline of thought.
DeLAURO: Do not interrupt!
MARKWAYNE MULLIN: Don't you point your finger at me
DeLAURO: I will point my finger at you! Mr chairman, could you put him in his place?
MULLIN: You should be put in your place
🇺🇸🇻🇪 Texas Rangers showing respect and holding a moment of silence and putting the Venezuela flag up big on the screen for everyone affected by the devastating earthquakes.
Classy move by the team 🫶🏻

"Mr secretary! The floor is hers. You know, there is a chairman. That's me" -- even the Republican committee chair is losing patience with Markwayne Mullin, who is gripping a stress ball as he clearly struggles to control his temper
Went looking for the 300 foot “slit” or “slits” in the reflecting pool Trump keeps lying about. Didn’t find any of that. But did find plenty of signs the paint on the bottom of the pool has simply disintegrated. My latest pool report.
En el edificio derrumbado en Turmero, hay personas con vida en el sótano. Colocaron ínternet para que les llegara señal ya que hay una persona aun con tlf activo, realizaron un Live y aparentemente hay 9 personas con vida.
Se requiere maquinaria pesada para terminar el rescate🙏
🚨 WOW! Mayor Mamdani drops a massive truth bomb on World Cup history.
He reveals how elite Jesuits enslaved Afro-Ecuadorians in the Chota Valley.
He brilliantly highlights how football legends use their success to systematically destroy poverty and fight injustice!
Shelter security tootage from kennel 7, captured at 3:47 AM. His name is Teddy.
He's 8 weeks old. He was found in a cardboard box on the side of the highway with his siblings - he was the only one who survived.
When he arrived at the shelter, he wouldn't stop crying for his mother. A volunteer gave him an old donated teddy bear. He hasn't let go of it since.
Every night, the camera catches him doing the same thing - checking she's still there, nuzzling into her chest, licking her face. He thinks the bear is his mother.
Nobody has the heart to tell him otherwise.
If Teddy moved you, please share him.
Somewhere out there is the family he's bern waiting for…
Amy Coney Barrett adopted Haitian children for a federal tax credit but ruled to let Trump and Stephen Miller remove TPS status from 350,000 Haitians who fled violence in the country. A lot of Haitians work in the healthcare industry as nurses, nursing assistants, personal care aides etc.
It's doesn't get any worse than this. These people are assholes.
Después del terremoto en Venezuela, una familia buscaba a su bebé entre los escombros. El papá entre lágrimas lo llamaba a los gritos Y EL BEBÉ SALIÓ GATEANDO.
Esto es un milagro
The graduating class of East River Academy earned their diplomas while incarcerated on Rikers Island. They chose to pursue an education because they understand their futures cannot be constrained by their circumstances.
Even in the face of extraordinary adversity, these graduates kept moving forward with faith in their potential.
Congratulations to the graduates of East River Academy. No matter where your journey began, this milestone belongs to you. You earned it, and I'm cheering you on.
Italy is now classified as a forest nation after one of the most successful reforestation efforts in human history.
Over 1/3 of Italy's territory is now covered in trees, the most trees they've had since the middle ages.
NEW YORKERS:
As of 12:00 AM, New York’s law prohibiting most law enforcement officials from wearing masks while carrying out their duties is now in effect.
New Yorkers have a right to know who is exercising law enforcement authority in their communities.
We need to do more than send two small ships and a couple helicopters. This is a country the size of Germany with 27 million people. And these losses are appalling.
