"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." - President Ronald Reagan

Roe v Wade overturned and other stories
Friday's video: Roe v Wade overturned and other stories........
It happens every six years, you know
(My new American Thinker post)
Not long ago, I read that the LA Times and San Diego Tribune lost $50 million. The explanation was revenue losses during the pandemic, less print and digital advertising plus a drop in print circulation. I guess that "Angelinos" just didn't want to advertise or read the newspaper or something like that.
Newspapers are losing subscriptions and readers. For example, I am the only one on my block who gets the print edition, according to the poor fellow who delivers it every morning.
Maybe there is another reason why people are not reading the LA Times. Maybe it's because they post editorials like this:
Whether it’s President Biden insisting a recession is avoidable or his critics arguing that the wolf is at the door, both sides are acting as if the nation faces an unprecedented catastrophe.
Partly it’s political theater -- Biden fighting on behalf of an already beleaguered presidency and many of the doomsayers hoping a downturn could be the coup de grace for Democrats.
Behind the rhetoric, the reality is that recessions are a normal part of American economic life.
The U.S. has had one, on average, every 6½ years since 1945.
And in the present case, most professional economists think any downturn now is likely to be relatively mild, with a fairly quick recovery.
People should stop complaining. It happens every six years and you are going to be okay. President Biden is doing the best he can and you should tell your wife that happy days will be here again soon, especially after you buy one of those electric cars that won't get you from Dallas to Houston to see family.
I guess I would have canceled my subscription, too.

A word about June 24
We remember June 24:
"Presidential leadership": On this day in 1948, President Truman confronted a serious communist challenge in Berlin: The Berlin Blockade.
Happy # 75 to Mick Fleetwood who was born in London on this day in 1947. We remember Mick as the founder and drummer of Fleetwood Mac.

Happy # 75 Mick Fleetwood and great music

Happy birthday Mick Fleetwood who was born in London on this day in 1947. We remember Mick as the founder and drummer of Fleetwood Mac.
Back in the summer of 1982, or many years ago, we were in the early days of MTV and VH-1. We used to hear our songs on the radio, LP's, 45's and cassettes in a car player. We had no idea that DVDs would replace VHS videos or that CD's would do away with tape and vinyl.
Yes, the summer of 1982 seems like a long time ago. Nevertheless, the music was great, specially Fleetwood Mac and "Hold me".
