Yes, seriously. That one page that you linked to could well afford an introductory "Although the DAR wouldn't allow her to perform in 1939, she was welcomed back several time after that." It's not difficult. The page you shared provides no context.

Do you seriously not understand communication?

Interesting that that page is says nothing about 1939. It should be there, for everyone who follows a link, that we see a broader history.

U.S. at Fault in Strike on School in Iran, Preliminary Inquiry Says

Outdated targeting data may have resulted in a mistaken missile strike, according to the ongoing military investigation, which undercuts President Trump’s assertion that Iran could be to blame.

And also, despite his suggesting it might not have been, it was his voice on the Access Hollywood tape as well.

Pretty sure she had the best of intentions, though. (Disclosure, she was two classes ahead of me at my HS.)

It was gratifying to see someone engrossed in a hard-copy book rather than staring idly at a screen.

It was less gratifying to realize the bookworm was driving an SUV at speed through Newark traffic.

Why Your Lamp Sucks Don't search the web for mid-century lighting until you listen to this week's episode.

There's been no innovation in lighting in 50 years. The top sellers are all Modeline knock-offs, made to be disposable with no ingenuity or craftsmanship. The art came out and the spreadsheets went in.
All this is explained in the episode by Nick Ferrell, writer and dealer in modern lamps.

Jim Cramer suggests on CNBC that Trump could β€œbomb Tehran into the Stone Age” until Iran reopens the strait, citing U.S. bombings of North Vietnam in the 1970s. Carl Quintanilla points out to him that Hanoi won that war.

Definitely watch, and note Marco Rubio in the years before he met Satan at the Crossroads.

In fairness, while the Constitution says "Congress shall have the power to declare war" it doesn't say ONLY Congress has that power. It doesn't say POTUS can't do it, nor the Judiciary, nor Steak-Umms.

I'm going to let you in on a little secret: the Trump Administration is using classified briefings as an excuse to hide the truth from you.

They don't have a plan for this war.

They don't have a plan to lower your costs.

They just don't want to admit it publicly.
