It appears the VA site for grant applications to help homeless veterans is down. Unsure if this is a glitch, or the end of assistance for homeless vets.

The NTSB will from now on issue notification and updates on news conferences exclusively through the Elon Musk owned X platform.

They will no longer email notifications to the press or issue notifications via NON Musk platforms.

The TV program included videos of a nazi era "trade fair" where companies showed their products to businesses that might be interested in ordering them to sell to their customers.

There were videos of companies selling books bound in human skin and lampshades made from human skin.

Never forget.

In 1957 I was 10 years old & my family had just gotten a television.

My stepfather had been in a German work camp & sometimes described his experience.

One night, I was home alone and decided to watch a program on the holocaust.
