As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the soul of the people. We move forward to a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron." - H. L. Mencken, writing about the presidency, November 1, 1920 Quote II "His office [the presidency] is anything he has the sagacity and force to make it. The president is at liberty, both in law and in conscience, to be as big a man as he can. His capacity will set the limit; and if Congress be overborne by him, it will be . . . because the president has the nation behind him, and Congress has not."Woodrow Wilson, 1907
“The Governor is disappointed that the federal government declined his request for financial support. As we navigate one of the most difficult periods in our state’s history, we look for support from our federal government to help us through.” MN Gov. Tim Walz’s spokesman, Teddy Tschann
“In waiving these notices, I recognize that those issues are vitally important, that the pain of those marching is very real, and that their message — black lives matter — needs to be heard every day until systemic racism is fully eradicated from this city and nation,”Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney
“Let me make something super clear for everyone. The New York City Police Department has not been defunded, even with these budgetary changes that were proposed in the city council. A.)

“Legislation is needed to ensure that no President can pardon or commute the sentence of an individual who is engaged in a cover-up campaign to shield that President from criminal prosecution,” Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)

Fewer kids are playing football and hospitals are seeing fewer ER patients. The rate of kids sports and recreation-related emergency room visits for traumatic brain injuries declined 32% from 2012 to 2018, after more than a decade of increasing rates, a new study finds.
The founders shared a love of ice cream, but none was more devoted than Thomas Jefferson. In 1789 he returned from France with his chef—newly trained in making frozen desserts—and a resolve to keep enjoying it. In Philadelphia in 1791, he sent to France for 50 vanilla bean pods, which, he later wrote, are “much used in seasoning ice creams.” He built an ice house at Monticello in 1802. And at Jefferson’s White House that year, Senator Samuel Latham Mitchill recalled eating ice cream in warm pastry—“a curious contrast, as if the ice had just been taken from the oven.”
For me, this reckoning begins with traffic signals. Our soy man goes on to lament: Back when most of us were kids, stop lights and traffic signals across the U.S. typically relied on words, rather than images, to let folks know when to walk or wait or stop or cross. Go comb through photos of “historic traffic signals” on Google Images, and you’ll see archival photos of traffic signs you might remember from childhood: Boxy black consoles that lit up with words like “walk” or “don’t walk” in imposing all-caps lettering. Well fortysomething years ago children were taught to read and write. But your ilk dumb downed the school systems. We couldn't have children with self-esteem issues.
