Couldn’t have anything to do with the fact that they found that teenaged Israeli lad dead, could it?

It was 8 months into his presidency. The air traffic controllers across the nation were threatening to strike, an act that might have crippled the struggling economic recovery. Reagan seemed to be willing to work with them if they agreed not to strike, but warned that-as federal employees-he would fire them if they did strike.
They went out and he fired them. It is my opinion that this confrontation soured his view of unions and set and adversarial tone between them and Reagan that lasted for his two terms. Anti-union sentiment rocketed and many businesses copied Reagan’s actions to devastating consequence on families and laborers.
This is not a defense of Reagan. It is just the perception of an old man who was alive and voting (for Carter) in those days. I would like to know if the replacement union for the disbanded PATCO ever managed to a) get the newly hired air traffic controllers a raise or b) a reduction in weekly hours.
I was hoping for a recording of the news release about this discovery in that helium-elevated voice.
""We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed…"
Time for the citizens of OK to speak up.

Obviously, with a name like “Littlejohn,” he’s a good guy in league with Robin Hood and Friar Tuck and all the other Merry Men. In his defense, Trump did (repeatedly) promise to disclose his IRS tax returns to the public. The man only helped Trump keep a campaign promise. Littlejohn ought to get an award and an all-expense paid vacation at Mar-a-Lago!
Title SHOULD read…
“North Korea launches a suspected intermediate-range ballistic missile that can reach distant US bases…ONCE.”
NK would be a smoldering pile of radioactive ash before it made a second launch. And Lil’ Kim knows it.
Is it just me, or is The Orange Man looking more and more like an orange version of his pal, Kim Jong Un?
The ultimate “my body, my choice.” Guess Republicans will now favor gun control, after all.
This. Exactly how I ended up married!
(Come to think of it, the honeymoon ran like that, too.) /s
Harry Chapin
Or
Karen Carpenter
(I know, they’re kinda sappy but they were on my Playlist when I was young and in love.)
Yeah…because the West Bank is just like your community’s next “neighborhood over,” right? I provided context not included in the title. Just because you can’t handle the truth doesn’t mean you won’t hear it.
