This is one of his better symphonies. Under-rated in my opinion. A lot of attention is given to the 5th and 9th but this one is pretty darn good. Written 209 years ago.

The Senate Leadership Fund, which is aligned with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), said Murkowski has shown “conservative values” and noted that she voted for Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett. The group added that Murkowski also voted for Trump’s landmark tax bill. “Alaska needs the kind of experienced representation that Lisa Murkowski provides in the United States Senate.

Many politicians put themselves first, but...

A big controversy today is over defined benefit (DB) pension plans and defined contribution (DC) 401(k) type plans with regard to retirments. The DB plan used to be a good one. Employees would work for a company for 30 years or so and then be guaranteed about 70-80% of their earnings for the rest of their lives due to their companies funding these kind of retirement plans. Social Security would easily cover the rest. However, the DC plans have taken precedence since about 1981. This is basically an elective retirement plan that requires the employees to contribute a certain amount...

The jet belonging to climate czar John Kerry's family made its way to Idaho, where he and his wife have reportedly vacationed, as he traveled in Asia to promote the Biden administration's message on the issue. Flight records show that the jet left Boston late afternoon and landed in Hailey, Idaho, later that evening. It's unclear what the trip was for but the Idaho Press reported last year that he and his wife, Teresa, have been part-time residents in the nearby Sun Valley for decades. According to the State Department, the former secretary of state is currently on a trip...

Welcome to FiveThirtyEight’s politics chat. The transcript below has been lightly edited. sarah (Sarah Frostenson, politics editor): We’re still more than three years away from November 2024, which means we have no idea who is actually running in 2024 — although we are already busy watching what potential candidates do — but it’s not too early for us to make some terrible (and not so terrible) picks as to who will win the 2024 GOP nomination in our first waaaayyy too early 2024 draft.It’s been a while, so the rules are as follows: Four rounds, so between the five of...

Hunter Biden joined Jimmy Kimmel Live Thursday where he spoke about a wide range of subjects, including the repeated attacks by Donald Trump Jr.. Trump, Executive Vice President of the Trump Organization, has suggested on multiple occasions that Biden has only been given various prestigious positions because of his name, failing to see the irony in those attacks. But Biden sees the humor. “Does it make you crazy when you hear someone like Donald Trump Jr. saying that the only reason he does — is because he’s a Biden, and because of his last name? And how just wildly comical...

Supplies of Johnson & Johnson’s one-dose coronavirus vaccine will be extremely limited until federal regulators approve production at a Baltimore manufacturing plant under scrutiny, the White House’s pandemic response coordinator said Friday. With allocations of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine set to plunge by 86 percent next week, governors across the country warned that the loss of the supplies they were counting on would set back their vaccination drives, which have used the shot in more transient, isolated and rural areas where the one-dose vaccine has appealed to many Americans. The other two vaccines, made by Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech, continue...

Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois called for fellow Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida to resign amid a federal probe into allegations Gaetz was involved in sex trafficking. Gaetz, who has not been charged with any crime, has repeatedly denied wrongdoing. "Matt Gaetz needs to resign," Kinzinger wrote in a tweet linking to a Daily Beast story about Gaetz, who's become enmeshed in an investigation into former Seminole County Tax Collector Joel Greenberg. Greenberg has been hit with 33 charges in federal court in Florida, including stalking, wire fraud and sex trafficking of a minor. In a brief hearing in...

Billionaire Leon Black's shocking exit from his executive roles at Apollo Global Management last month came just days after several directors at the private-equity firm learned of sexual assault allegations against him. An independent review by Dechert revealed that Black had paid late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein $158 million for advice on tax and estate planning and related services between 2012 and 2017. He even lent the disgraced pedophile $30million after his conviction, the New York Times reports. When announcing his departure, Black cited his wife's ailing health as his own health for motivation behind the decision....

ORLANDO, Fla. — The employees who kept the data systems humming in the vast Walt Disney fantasy fief did not suspect trouble when they were suddenly summoned to meetings with their boss. While families rode the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and searched for Nemo on clamobiles in the theme parks, these workers monitored computers in industrial buildings nearby, making sure millions of Walt Disney World ticket sales, store purchases and hotel reservations went through without a hitch. Some were performing so well that they thought they had been called in for bonuses. Instead, about 250 Disney employees were told in...

Johnson & Johnson has backed off a previous pledge to deliver 24 million additional doses of its one-shot vaccine by the end of April amid the continued failure of its troubled contract manufacturer in Baltimore to win government manufacturing certification. With domestic production of the company’s vaccine still unapproved, the government slashed its national allocation of the J&J vaccine to states by 86 percent to just 700,000 doses next week, down from nearly 5 million, a cut that Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) called “very concerning.” The cuts will make it harder across the country for much of April to...

The Anti-Defamation League and other Jewish groups on Friday morning blasted Fox News host Tucker Carlson after the TV talker offered up a passionate defense of the racist “Great Replacement” conspiracy theory the night prior. The theory is a “white supremacist tenet that the white race is in danger by a rising tide of non-white,” ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt tweeted on Friday morning, noting that the concept has also served as motivation for several high-profile mass murders. “It is antisemitic, racist and toxic. It has informed the ideology of mass shooters in El Paso, Christchurch and Pittsburgh,” the ADL leader...

A truck driver recently shared dash cam video of an anxiety-inducing underground dock. Underground dock with JUST enough room to get into. Line it up, fold the mirrors in, roll down the ramp using only the fender mirrors. Took about 2 minutes to get down so video is sped up about 4x.
