This city shaped a classic Christmas carol. Now Russia has destroyed it.
Meet the history and politics of a world-famous Christmas song that started as Kyiv’s political message to the world a century ago. It sends the same message today.

I know the fear mongering from the inside that Trump used to get people to take early retirement. So shameful. America voted for this now they have missing liaison people between forecasters and emergency managers and no more research to predict these storms better. Blame Trump not feds.

Man I loved peewee so much as a kid. This makes me want to watch the documentary again. I hope generations very soon don’t have to deal with self hatred in the form of homophobia. Hugs to everyone tonight, even people I don’t agree with.

Happy St. Patrick’s day! Now a day to celebrate Irish immigrants once shunned from American society! Sound familiar? My mom is 100% Irish American and it was always an evening of happy drunks at the bars in my younger years so I always get excited to wear green.

Maybe someone will roll back all those laws passed by Congress meddling with the volume and distance of direct flights to National Airport just because they don't want to go to the further out Dulles Airport to get home? Nahhhh.
