FOR VETERANS' DAY 2025: A HUMBLE THANK YOU FROM A FELLOW AMERICAN

I wish that I had better words and means to express my thanks to and consideration of the heroic VETERANS among us. I do not...

But will try most earnestly, with what I have.

To the men and women, who served our country in uniform...answered a call to sacrifice their civil security to defend our collective and individual FREEDOM, ..put their bodies in harm's way, between their fellow Americans at home and this great nation's very real enemies ..to preserve DEMOCRACY, ..I cannot match in words my GRATITUDE to each and every one of you.

To the brave Americans we've lost in these noble enterprises, to the people, struggling with grievous, life-long injuries...seen and unseen, incurred in BATTLE, ..and to their families...our expressed gratitude doesn't seem enough, for what you've sacrificed. Let us serve you, now, in any way we can, as selflessly as you've served all of us. For your unique courage and patriotism, when we seek the finest examples of the American character, in our families, our neighborhoods, our hospitals, churches and workplaces...

We find none, better than YOU.

With pride, honor and friendship, ..THANK YOU. All Goodwill in the world go with you and yours on this VETERANS' DAY, 2025, ..and may God bless America.

From the Frankenstein-inspired elements in Captain America to the more obvious flashes of horror in the original Human Torch, the amazing Spider-Man, incredible Hulk, invincible Iron Man and uncanny X-Men - even the supernatural possession of Dr. Donald Blake, by the mighty, Viking sky god, Thor - this is and always has been Marvel's secret sauce. This is the Marvel brand... And even the publisher's greatest superheroines would not escape it. One need look no further, than Sersi the Terrible! Half-naked in the apocalyptic green of Eden, Sersi is a cosmic sorceress and member of Marvel's The Eternals (now, titular stars of a proper, live-action superhero flick) - who reall...

DC MAYOR BOWSER PROMOTES $20M IN GRANTS TO PROP UP VACANT, OVERPRICED DOWNTOWN

From W-JLA Channel 7 News "...At a time when D.C.'s office vacancy rate has soared and many businesses have either left or are struggling – especially downtown...D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and Acting Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development Nina Albert...emphasized that $19.6 million in grants are available...$3 million available in grants to help businesses that want to open or expand in commercial space that has been vacant for at least six months downtown..." A patron saint for Downtown Washington's bloat, gouging, sharky office space developers? (Shark-R Salas/M Bowser-AP/C Brehman/Photomanip-Capicostia) From the Capicostia Desk... 'Bail out' may be a more fitful accounting of Mayor Muriel Bowser's valiant campaign to revitalize a Downtown Washington, underwater with vacant, overpriced office buildings and retail spaces, not accruing valuable revenue for the DC Treasury - more fitful than 'prop up', I think. The loss of revenue, being ...
