This Memorial Day weekend, the best way to honor the soldiers who gave the ultimate sacrifice is to honor and protect the freedoms and the democracy they died for.

Thanks for an interesting article. Disappointing, but not surprising, that bureaucratic bottlenecks are handicapping an essential technology. Let’s hope we don’t become the next Russian convoy plagued by flat tires.

At this point, you can’t convince me they aren’t manipulating the market.

As the economic news keeps coming out over the coming weeks keep one thing in mind: this is the fault of one man and didn’t need to happen.

DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Codebase In Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse Social Security systems contain tens of millions of lines of code written in COBOL, an archaic programming language. Safely rewriting that code would take years—DOGE wants it done in months.

BREAKING: DOGE is starting to put together a team to migrate the SSA's computer systems entirely off one of its oldest programming languages in a matter of months, potentially putting the integrity of the system—and the benefits on which tens of millions of Americans rely—at risk.

This is how you tell who Trump’s constituents are.

Canceled my subscription last fall. And BTW, I have tried at least a dozen times to subscribe to the daily beast and it won’t let me sign up! Would not let me sign up at the Holiday price, after that expired I was willing to pay full price. Still wouldn’t take my money.

Just going to leave this here should it become useful to anyone…

🚨 BREAKING: Trump, visibly confused and rambling, forgot why he was in the Oval Office—to swear in Tulsi Gabbard as DNI.

Instead, he tried to leave without doing it, leaving even Newsmax stunned.

At almost 79 years old, the decline is undeniable. This is not normal.
