Today’s Thoughts
Nice day…blue sky, warm
temps.
Sen. McConnell is stepping
down after the 2024 election day. He is 82 recognizes that he is not a young
man anymore. He says he will finish his time in the senate and not run for reelection.
I don’t agree with many of his political views but respect him for this
decision. He is the longest serving Senator and I must wonder who the next
leader of the Republican Party in the Senate will be.
The Supreme Court
has accepted a case that puts other Trump Federal cases on hold. The election
clock is ticking. This acceptance of a case could cause problems for everyone
in the Nov. election. I will stay alert as this plays out.
Denver has received
16,000 illegal border crossers as Texas has sent them to Denver. Two cities,
Aurora and Colorado Springs have passed resolutions that they will not accept
any of them if Denver sends them their way because neither has the resources to
help these human beings. Interesting morally and difficult to enforce. Time
will tell how this works out.

America’s Top Attractions
1920s: The Museum of Modern
Art, New York City, New York
The hugely influential modern
art gallery first opened its doors on 7 November 1929. The Museum of Modern Art
(MoMA) was conceived by three progressive and influential art patrons, Miss
Lillie P Bliss, Mrs Cornelius J Sullivan and Mrs John D Rockefeller. It was the
first institution devoted exclusively to modern art and the first in Manhattan
to exhibit European modernism. Over the next 10 years its location moved three
times before opening in its current Midtown building in 1939.
Historical Facts about Native Americans…
Where The Mohawk Hairstyle Comes From
The Mohawk hairstyle can still be seen today, but some may
not know the origins of this unique hairdo.
It is modeled after the Mohawk tribe where the men would keep
one part of their head cleanly shaven and paint the other side a bright color.
The name "Mohawk" translates to "man-eaters."
