Glad to see @AHAhistorians respond to the conspiratorial, sensationalistic "articles" run (to my surprise) @chronicle The framing of standard confidentiality agreements as "loyalty oaths" shld be enough to make you doubt the writer (and reveals him not to be a historian!) historians.org/news/informat…

Two recent opinion pieces published in the Chronicle of Higher Education purport to provide revelations on the inner workings of the AHA. They make for sensational reading. They are also deliberately...

The last few times I have had to have a delivery or repair I have been told a day, and then that on the prior evening, I will get a 2-3 hour window. And no one works on Saturday anymore. Who in the world reserves a whole day to get the washing machine fixed?

Republicans in Washington State don't just want to ban #trans athletes: they want all girls, no matter how young, to be examined by a doctor to ensure that their genitalia matches their stated gender. This is not only state-sanctioned child abuse, but a violation of equal protection when no similar requirement exists for male athletes. washingtonpost.com/nation/20…

In historic first, voters in five states will decide transgender youth rights

Five states have ballot initiatives to ban trans athletes in girls’ sports and gender transition treatment for children. Washington could require genital exams.

FINE DINING: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent just dined at The Cheesecake Factory today and called out Barack Obama for his HIDEOUS library saying that it "looks like Darth Vader’s tomb." Bessent ate the French dip cheeseburger and explained to Fox Business that the "Martha’s Vineyard set" should try it.
