“AFFORDABLE” HEALTH CARE: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=747322464909118 [1:30] to hear a GOP senator speak truth to power … and shut down Bernie Sanders while he was at it. Dunno ’bout you, but my co-pays went WAY up on January 1. I just heard from the pharmacy that, if I want my refills, it’s going to cost me HALF my Social Security check!

AMERICAN HISTORY: On March 3, 1931, the United States officially adopted “The Star-Spangled Banner” as its national anthem.

EVERYDAY HEROES: Bill Darden, the eventual founder of Red Lobster, opened the Green Frog diner in Waycross, Georgia, in 1938 when he was just nineteen. At a time when Jim Crow laws enforced strict segregation across the South, Darden refused to separate his customers by race. Local officials pressured him, competitors resented him, and some customers walked out, but Darden held his ground because he believed hospitality meant treating people with dignity, not enforcing a racial hierarchy.

MILITARY: Today, our nation grieves the loss of four brave American service members who gave their lives and the others who have been seriously wounded during operations related to Iran. They served in danger with courage and devotion, defending our freedom until their final breath. We also pray for the wounded, asking God for healing and strength as they recover.
To the Gold Star families, no words can ease your pain, but a grateful nation stands with you in this sorrow. Their sacrifice reminds us that freedom comes at a high cost. May we honor their legacy always. Rest in peace, heroes. Your watch has ended — we will carry it forward.

UAE: Abu Dhabi’s Department of Culture and Tourism sent a directive to every hotel in the emirate: extend stays for guests who can’t leave and send us the invoice. Dubai issued a parallel order hours later. The reason? Airspace closures and mass flight cancellations across the Gulf left over 20,000 passengers stranded.
The UAE’s General Civil Aviation Authority confirmed the state is covering all accommodation and meal costs for affected travelers. Private companies joined in too – holiday rental firms in Dubai opened apartments for free, and within hours, over 250 hosts followed.
No panic pricing. No airport floors. No “figure it out yourself.” Just a government picking up the tab until every stranded tourist can go home. That’s how you handle a crisis.

WASHINGTON: CLICK https://x.com/_retrops/status/2028231780105384355 [:58] to hear what happened when someone called the state’s Department of Licensing (DOL) and pressed 2 for Spanish. LOL!! Sadly, they fixed it. Darn.
