What a Week This Has Been
American Thinker ^ | 24 Apr, 2022 | Clarice Feldman

My quiet neighborhood in the capital, which is patrolled by the Metropolitan Police, the U.S. Park Police, and the Secret Service’s Foreign Missions Branch, has been the site of an unprecedented number of crimes. Someone -- identity unknown as far as I know -- tried to break into and presumably rob the Peruvian ambassador whose home is about four blocks away. Four blocks in the opposite direction, a sniper shot four people and then killed himself. The roads were blocked by law enforcement. The search for the shooter involved police helicopters circling overhead for hours. At about the same time the shooter was committing suicide, a woman leapt eight stories from an apartment building a block from my home, apparently to escape from a man who was abusing her. Then, some distance from here, at the Supreme Court, a man set himself on fire.

The dogwoods are in full blossom, the tulips and daffodils are in bloom and the azaleas are about to bathe every lawn and hillside in red, pink, and white. Beautiful cardinals are swooping about gathering nesting materials. The juxtaposition of the glories of nature with the madness of men was dramatic.

Item #2 on a new R House majority should be taking back their city. Compress federal control to include the federal buildings surrounding the mall. Retrocede everything else back to Maryland and give them one more democrat House member. Eliminate the democrat impulse to create a state.

Disney annual revenue for 2021 was $67.418B, a 3.1% increase from 2020.
Disney annual gross profit for 2021 was $22.287B, a 3.62% increase from 2020.

I don’t think $20 million per year is going to bother them much. Losing $34 billion in market cap in less than a month, however, should.

DC should be a MD city. Outside the Fed enclave there is nothing that is critical to the Fed government.
