Election Commission can get to the truth
Jonathan Turley, a law professor at George Washington University, recently wrote that we need a Federal Election Commission to look into the 2020 election. It may take a couple of years to complete, but I see no other way to calm the anger and distrust harbored by those of us who watch too much of Fox News. We want the truth and a commission seems like the best way to achieve it.

It undulates past a playground, basketball courts, and a community space.

Jim Casey is a Douglass Day co-director and an assistant professor of African American Studies at Penn State. He said Douglass Day has evolved in the five years since it began.
“Early sort of Douglass Day celebrations did things like collect funds to make Douglass’s house in D.C. a kind of national monument, Casey said.
Casey said this year Douglass Day will focus on transcribing the papers of Mary Church Terrell, who fought for Black civil rights and established the National Association of Colored Women.

There are many chapters that could fill the book of what is becoming a most remarkable American business story. Yet a chapter that some might skim over is the one describing how Jeff Bezos came to transportation and logistics and may end up dominating it from behind.
The trailblazers before him Leland Stanford, whose money built the transcontinental railroad; Jim Casey, whose United Parcel Service created the package delivery business as we ve come to know it; Malcom McLean, whose containerization model revolutionized international trade and transport; and Fred Smith, who took a traditional hub-and-spoke model, applied it to the urgent air shipping of high-value cargo and named it Federal Express all put transportation front and center.
