BeaTles Tower

Last August, I made a big deal about the retirement of the Master FM Antenna that had been on the Empire State Building since 1965.

In Let It Be, at the start of the rooftop concert there’s a shot of a far more imposing mid-1960’s broadcasting structure. The British Telecom Tower.

Grandstanding Old Party

Republicans have no concern whatsover about gay or trans kids being bullied in high school. They encourage the suppression of young people who refuse to be marginalized because they are different, to the point of enacting state laws against them.

Now their outrage is over allegations of student antisemitism. Rep. Lisa McClain says, “sometimes, you do need to use the stick, because disincentives work.” I wonder what her opinion is about the Trump supporters who rioted on January 6th?

The latest Mideast crisis began with Netanyahu’s utter failure to protect Israel. What he has done to Gaza in response to the horrific attacks by Hamas guarantees there will be another generation of terrorists. Bibi’s legacy will be that he has jeopardized Israel’s future security well beyond his own lifetime.
