"...And from King David, who was the first of the Jews who reigned therein, to this destruction under Titus, were one thousand, one hundred, and seventy nine years. But from its first building, till this last destruction, were two thousand, one hundred, seventy seven years.

Alex Pretti should be alive this Sunday afternoon, going about his business. None of this should have happened. It's a long trail of self imposed stupidity that dates back to 2016 that was again replicated in 2024 that set all this in motion. There was no reason why the electorate

That was a cute intro with Ben and daughter. #ChristmasInConnecticut #tcmparty

Many Democrats got pilloried after last last years election, especially Joe Biden, for meeting Trump after they had spent years calling him a threat to democracy. Most of these attacks came from our supposedly puritanical Leftist. Mamdani does the same thing after his election

Ken Burns' American Revolution on @pbs.org has been throughly engrossing. I love the diverse voices, experiences and perspectives. #AmericanRevolutionPBS

It's fascinating to see most of these folks on the Left who couldn't bring themselves to give the time of day to Liz Cheney in her opposition to Trump now insist that Marjorie Taylor Greene is Joan of Arc reincarnated because of her recent spat with the same Donald Trump.

I picked up the 1974 edition of Horizon Magazine and one of the articles in it is titled: "The Future Isn't What It Used To Be."

"She gets the winter passion, and I get the dotage?... Am I supposed to sit home knitting and purling while you slink back like some penitent drunk? I'm your wife, damn it.

That was a beautiful "in memoriam" with Sara Bareilles and Cynthia Erivo. Just beautiful. #TonyAwards2025 #TonyAwards

I was watched a documentary on early Christians yesterday and one of the experts said that the persecution of early Christians was localized earlier in the Roman empire and wasn't an imperially decreed thing until much later. He said that we have got to understand how nervous

Funny golf analogy right there. #AntiquesRoadshow

Nice introduction, but I think it would serve the audience well if the specific country in Africa (Kenya) where this was filmed on location was stated instead of just saying that it was "filmed on location in Africa." #tcmparty #OutOfAfrica

"Only the farmers have won. They remain forever. They are like the land itself. You helped rid them of Calvera, the way a strong wind helps rid them of locusts. You're like the wind - blowing over the land and... passing on. Vaya con dios." #tcmparty #TheMagnificentSeven

It really takes a talent to be a keen observer of life and convey it as poignantly and exquisitely as Kazuo Ishiguro did and Merchant Ivory relayed on screen in The Remains Of The Day. #tcmparty

Any time I see Christopher Reeve in The Remains Of The Day I can't help but think of what a profound loss he was. #Tcmparty

I have viewed @tcm long enough to remember Ismail Merchant introducing Bollywood movie classics on this network a lifetime ago. I believe it was in 2003 or so. Those were the days. #tcmparty #MerchantIvory

“The companies that the CFPB oversees are actually some of the biggest and most powerful,” says Rohit Chopra, former director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. “They would want ... a lapdog rather than a watchdog.” https://cbsn.ws/4kahkjc

President Trump says his administration is cleaning up a Justice Department corrupted by politics. https://cbsn.ws/3QRoCLr

"I don't think anybody believes that these people would've been pardoned if they had engaged in exactly the same acts, but had stormed the Capitol, say, in opposition to the president and his policies," says Peter Keisler, former acting attorney general under Pres. Bush.

This Sunday, Scott Pelley examines the recent firings and resignations at the U.S. Department of Justice.

No matter what illusions and delusions Trump may harbor about whatever relationship he may have with Putin, and no matter what they agree on, Putin’s ultimate aim will always remain the destruction of the United States of America.

Whether it’s liberals saying Latinx or Republicans renaming the Gulf of Mexico, both sides have at times indulged in awkward nomenclature.

Tesla, whose chief executive, Elon Musk, has been advising President Trump on how to cut government spending, is likely to receive a lucrative contract to supply armored versions of its Cybertruck pickup to the State Department, according to public documents.

"Like many other U.S. manufacturers, Husco faces a growing list of trade policies under the new administration of President Donald Trump that have jumbled investment plans and cast a shadow over an upturn in the domestic manufacturing economy." https://buff.ly/4gDPOrl

We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.

A Trump quote for the ages from the special counsel's report: "Mr. Trump made admissions that reflected his understanding that he had lost. In a private moment, Mr. Trump confessed to his family members that 'it doesn't matter if you won or lost the election. You still have to fight like hell.'"

Everything about #TheMagnificentSeven never gets old. The score, the storyline and the acting is all inspired. #tcmparty

Laken Riley Act would not have prevented its namesake's tragic death, but it would do a lot of other destructive (bonkers) things D lawmakers (and any fair-minded Rs still out there) should learn what they’re voting for before they get manipulated into doing so www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

This is the jobs booming economy that Joe Biden has presided over and is handing over to Donald Trump. Folks should remember that because in a couple of weeks Trump will be claiming he had something to do with it. #jobsreport

JUST IN: A strong December jobs report. The US economy added 256,000 jobs (well above expectations). Overall, the US added 2.2 million jobs in 2024. That’s about the same as 2018. Unemployment rate fell slightly to 4.1% Wages grew 3.9% in past year (well above 2.7% inflation)

The US economy added 2.2 million jobs in 2024. It's a significant slowdown from recent years, but it's similar job gains to 2017-2019. Bottom line: No recession in sight. 2024: 2.2 million 2023: 3m 2022: 4.5m 2021: 7.2m 2020: -9.3m 2019: 2m 2018: 2.3m 2017: 2.1m

Biden went against his top national-security aides when deciding to tank a Japanese takeover of U.S. Steel and instead align with his domestic advisers to bolster his pro-union legacy www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

"Forget the tariffs and mass deportations. The sleeper economic issue of the next few years — the one where President-elect Donald Trump could wreak the most permanent damage — is sabotage of the Federal Reserve." says @crampell.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
