As DT plays king, stuffing the Oval Office with gold bric-à-brac and planning a $200 million White House ballroom, it’s worth remembering the consternation Nancy Reagan faced for spending $200,000 in donated money for new White House china. Paul Conrad in the Los Angeles Times, September 15, 1981.

“Our peaceful trading partners are not our enemies. We should beware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security and the entire free world – all while cynically waving the American Flag.” — Ronald Reagan, Nov 27, 1988.

In a speech in Iowa on January 19, 2004, presidential contender Howard Dean screamed “yeah!” The utterance lasted about 1 second. Within a week, the consensus was that this moment of spontaneity was unpresidential, and so undignified that Dean could no longer be considered a serious candidate.

“I could not in light of these firm and repeated commitments carry out your direction.” October 20: On this day in 1973, Elliot Richardson set the example we need in 2025. Rather than accede to a president’s personal interference in the Department of Justice, the Attorney General resigned.

There was a time when the White House federalized a state national guard to protect Americans’ human and constitutional rights under the First Amendment to the freedoms of peaceable assembly and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Happy centennial! It’s worth noting that originally this body, the first national traffic engineering institute, was funded 100% by one automobile manufacturer: Studebaker. It was named the Erskine Bureau after the company’s president. In 1935 the Automobile Manufacturers Association took it over.

Charles Thompson was an accidental pioneer. The Los Angeles Traffic Ordinance of 1925 went into effect 100 years ago this year, on January 24. It was not the first such ordinance, but it was by far the most successful – and the one that became the model for the nation. ...

“By 2028, an average family in the region will be paying around $70 a month extra on their electricity bills because of forecasted data center growth” I'm once again asking why ratepayers are subsidizing AI titans? www.eenews.net/articles/dat...
