Correction: A previous version of this article mistakenly referred to K.C. Saunders as the County Administrator. He is, in fact, the Budget Director for Lorain County. The correction applies to Part 3, paragraph 3; Part 4, paragraph 1 & 4; and Part 5, paragraph 4 of the published story.

Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down.

Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

With the caveat that I realize JHK understands this, I wanted to make the case that not all Boomers went along for the ride. Also, the Internet - while a double-edged sword - can take much of the credit for awakening most of us from the Deep State brainwashing machine as we now have access to a plethora of news/podcasts and there now exists the opportunity for an immediate outcry in opposition should someone attempt to set up a false narrative. - After all, those of us who have been here for si…

There are lots of good boomers. I'm on the cusp, and have been disgusted with many establishment boomers but there are also many many good ones who have not been hypocritical virtue-signaling assholes.

You're spot on. I spent 5 years working at a community college in CA and yeah they were all phonies, with a bloated administration sucking up all the $$. The profs were virtue-signaling cowards. It was unbearable when covid hit, so that's when I left.

I am a Boomer who stayed home and raised three children. At 76 I have watched and seen it all. The destruction of our towns by Wal-Marts, 7-Elevens, magnificent miles of car dealerships, & every chain store & fast food restaurant you can name … so every town looks exactly the same w/ all small businesses & exceptionalism ruined. I’ve watched the blue skies & puffy clouds disappear to dreary, gray sameness day after day. I’ve watched the beauty of lovely architecture, gorgeous fields & neighborh…

Spot on Mary. May I translate what you said into “society, guided by grabberment, has become a leaking bag of kitchen garbage…”
