NEW: A week before Donald Trump surged past Hillary Clinton to win the presidency, author Michael Wolff approached Jeffrey Epstein with a proposal to "finish" Trump's candidacy.
"Interested?" Wolff wrote.
Epstein, apparently, declined.

#at40 Wow, I had forgotten this song.
I loved your book. It made me incredibly sad but it also made me want to visit all the places you talked about. Many years ago when I was a kid (and we took many great American road trips back in the 1960s) we visited Meramec Caverns. I still remember the Jesse James stories.
Yes, I remember a neighbor kid showing it off at the high school bus stop. #AT40
#at40 My 16th birthday!
Even the expression is impious; for so unlimited a power can belong only to God.
Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to TAX) but "to BIND us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER" and if being bound in that manner, is not slavery, then is there not such a thing as slavery upon earth.
Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated.
Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value.
THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.
To quote Thomas Paine (who was in the Resistance long ago).
I got that as well.
We are about to start seeing a brain drain.
Hi Howie, my husband just told me you were on Bluesky so of course I had to follow you! I've missed you since I left that other place.
And apparently the word comes from the Myrmidons who were followers of Achilles (I recommend the Emily Wilson translation of the Iliad). And according to Merriam Webster, "Myrmex means 'ant' in Greek, an image that evokes small and insignificant workers mindlessly fulfilling their duties."
I did as well. My mother was horrified.
Thank you! I was about to ask the same question.
I assume this would apply to states receiving DOT funds?
iv. prohibit recipients of DOT support or assistance from imposing vaccine and mask mandates; and
v. require local compliance or cooperation with Federal immigration enforcement and with other goals and objectives specified by the President of the United States or the Secretary.
High school or college? This liberal arts major would say history and literature. Because that is what our society needs. This liberal arts major became a computer programmer back in the day when you didn't need a degree.
I think her book Eight Cousins was even more of a feminist novel (considering the times).
I was impressed with the number of young people who showed up to protest.
That is beautiful. I love the detail, especially the fish and shells.
We love the dog show. But we live near Chicago so watched the Bears. Should have watched the dog show.
My son just introduced me to his works.
But I prefer knitting in the round and do that whenever possible.
Agreed. I don't either and use the cast on as a guide.
I started listening to Christmas music which I usually don't do until after Thanksgiving.
Knitting is wonderful. I just discovered quilting a couple of years ago which is also satisfying.
