'Gettysburg – Three Days That Changed The Civil War' Lecture At C.H. Booth Library

Once again, one sees familiar talking points resurfacing — a blend of performative panic and recycled outrage, echoing the same dire warnings that have become almost ceremonial in certain political circles. Outrage that President Trump hasn't personally flown to Moscow and ended the Ukraine war with a handshake and a tweet — as if any president (let alone Biden, who spent his term confusing countries) could end a foreign war on day one. Trump’s success isn’t measured by how many editorials he triggers — though he’s clearly winning there — but by the fact that despite an endless stream of media hit pieces, investigations, impeachments, and lawsuits, Americans are still choosing him. Maybe, just maybe, they prefer results over rehearsed outrage. And as for the countdowns? They may need a few extra pages. 2798 days to go — because apparently, third terms are what real authoritarian nightmares are made of.

Elections Have Consequences VIII

I have to love how the NIMBY crowd now opposes senior housing—yet if a developer proposed family homes on that same land, they'd be the first to complain that the added tax revenue wouldn’t cover the cost of more kids in the school system. On a more positive note, I’m excited to hear that Aquila’s Nest is looking to add a beer and liquor permit. They have such an awesome venue and host some of the most creative events in town. Every time I visit, I find myself wishing there were more drink options—so a beer and liquor selection would definitely be a welcome addition.

Council Members Discuss Eliminating Board Of Finance From Charter

It was an awkward meeting, discussing duplicative work and confusing processes, but not “uncomfortable.” In hindsight, the misstep was not putting an appointed alternative, independent of political pressures that prioritizes independence and expertise over electability and partisan loyalty, into the Charter. Look no further than the BOF funding recycling for only half a year, an apparent ~$400k punt until just after the election, to see how political pressures influence decision making.
