      <description>&lt;p&gt;I saw a photo posted by the Park Dept. that they claim was a long cut across the bottom of the Reflecting Pool. This is supposed to be proof of vandalism.  Frankly the cut looks more like a crack to me.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Also the Epstein Files look like a coverup to me.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;We may have the culprit of the Reflecting Pool vandalism: I don&amp;rsquo;t know if this is true or AI lies but pictures were posted of Trump&amp;rsquo;s heavy &lt;a href=&#34;https://bsky.app/profile/trans.bsky.social/post/3mozfx2zgsk27&#34;&gt;armored limo driving around&lt;/a&gt; on the brand new painted Reflecting Pool.  Allegedly, photo posted by the White House.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Just sayin.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Just when you think, &amp;ldquo;Oh nobody could be that stupid&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; and in walks Trump.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Pick a topic.  Any topic.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Good morning.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Still no more Epstein Files.  News claims only half of known files have been released and those heavily redacted.  Plus we are pretty sure Epstein videoed a lot and that stuff has somehow disappeared. No arrests.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile tourists are being arrested for looking at Reflecting Pool.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It seems, somehow, we are going to pay Iran $300B to end Trump&amp;rsquo;s war with Iran.  WTF?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On social media: Conspiracy theories about Antifa sabotaging Reflecting Pool with algae kits, National Guard called in to keep people from touching the water, all the new paint pealing and Trump trying to redirect blame anywhere but at himself.  Typical.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This means the end of local NPR in NW Indiana, at least for now. WBAA radio serves Greater Lafayette, Indiana which is not part of NW Indiana.  It&amp;rsquo;s very very sad but it is better than the station just going dead.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Watch/Listen:  &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vjPBrBU-TM&#34;&gt;Sia - Chandelier (Official Video)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;ve heard the song many times, love it, but I just saw this official video for the 1st time today and the dancing is just astounding. A must watch if you have not seen it.&lt;/p&gt;
