American Fact of the Day!
Did You Know That George Washington Wasn't the First President to Live in the White House? One of the fun facts about America is that George Washington wasn’t the first president to live in the White House! No, it wasn't, but rather John Adams and his wife Abigail. While Washington did oversee the building of the mansion, he never resided in it. It was erected in 1792 but not occupied until 1800. Since Adams, each president who has occupied the White House has made their own adjustments and improvements. After all, they lived there!

American Airlines Isn’t Just Coming After On-Demand Jet Service JSX. It’s Coming After You.
American Airlines, along with Southwest Airlines and the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA), have convinced the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to consider changing the rules of how small charter airlines operate...
Specifically, AA is leading the charge to have the federal government effectively ban these charters because of present and future competition concerns. American is trying to alter the market through regulatory fiat as opposed to actually engaging in free market competition.
American justifies its move for “safety reasons”, but admits that its attempts to ban JSX – which offers superior 30-seat all-business class service -- has nothing to do with safety and everything to do with banning competition via regulatory scheming...
Its baseless rulemaking request attempts to weaponize the FAA, a craven misuse of the regulatory process by an airline with one of the worst customer service records in the industry.

A new report from Politico takes a whack at Joe Biden, saying he won't have the capacity to govern or campaign the way other incumbents had in the past. But Politico columnist Jonathan Martin went even deeper to reveal what a nasty character Joe Biden truly is when he is challenged.
Martin revealed how Biden made a nasty crack about David Axelrod after Axelrod questioned whether Biden should be running again, whether it was wise and in the best interests of the country. Axelrod said Biden's age was a huge issue. Martin also pointed out how it also wasn't helpful for Biden to deny the reality of his polling numbers to Fox's Peter Doocy because he refuses delivery on anything critical of him.
"Calling David Axelrod ‘a p----,’ as a person who has heard Biden use the word says he does in private, is not a strategy to win 270 electoral votes. And repeating a PG version of the same animus in public while litigating polling with the White House press corps also won’t make Biden’s re-election any likelier," Martin wrote in Politico.
But that's what Biden's approach seems to have been so far to campaigning: completely deny the reality of any negatives like the polls that show Americans disapprove of him and question his age and his coherence…
