Flags! (And not with Sheldon Cooper.)
Flags are important to a region’s identity. They may have symbols on them you never thought about, but tell a story. Here is a video teaching the meaning behind every U.S State flag.

You may remember Maryland District Attorney for the City of Baltimore Marilyn Mosby.
Mosby was the DA who tried to prosecute the six police involved in the death of Freddie Gray in 2015. The prosecution was a disaster for Mosby and her office. Four of the cases against the officers were dismissed immediately. The other two officers were not convicted after Mosby’s office withheld evidence, conspired with witnesses, and doctored evidence. Upon the two officers being found “not guilty,” judges in both trials reprimanded the Mosby and her office. Yet despite all that, Mosby came out and said she was right to prosecute the officers even though judges had dismissed the charges and judges finding her conduct to be questionable at best.
Mosby is back in the news with an announcement she made the other day concerning the prosecutions, or rather the cases her office would no longer prosecute.

You have been hearing a lot about President Biden’s Infrastructure Bill and how it will cost taxpayers $2.1 trillion dollars.
The amount of money spent on infrastructure is not enough. We mean that sincerely.
This is not because $2.1 trillion dollars is not a good hunk of change, but the fact that most of the bill doesn’t go to what people consider to be infrastructure
After making a ridiculous claim concerning professional athletes and getting cover from the media for it, President Biden was asked that now that MLB moved the All Star game, what should The Masters Golf Tournament at the Augusta National Golf Club do in light of the new Georgia voting laws.
“I think that’s up to the Masters,” Biden said. “Look, you know, it is reassuring to see that for profit operations and businesses are speaking up about how these new Jim Crow laws are just antithetical to who we are.”
EDITOR’S NOTE: Does Biden remember that Jim Crow laws were passed by Democrats?
The Masters Tournament is played at Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia.
Biden acknowledged that when big tournaments, games and even corporations relocate, local workers and residents often experience the economic consequences.
“I think it’s a very tough decision for a corporation to make or group to make,” Biden added. “But I respect them when they make that judgment and I support whatever judgment they make. But it’s the best way to deal with this is for Georgia and other states to smarten up. Stop it, stop it. It’s about getting people to vote.”
Somehow we get the impression that Biden believes that the Augusta National Golf Course, all 635 acres of dirt, a 90,000 square foot retail and dining center, clubhouses, trees (including the famous Eisenhower tree on the 17th hole,) creeks, a pond, etc., can be somehow picked up and moved somewhere.

United Airlines has announced a new policy for hiring of pilots:
Our flight deck should reflect the diverse group of people on board our planes every day. That’s why we plan for 50% of the 5,000 pilots we train in the next decade to be women or people of color. Learn more and apply now: https://t.co/VbOFvFOksB pic.twitter.com/r0ScH6MQAJ

Shouldn’t the concern be hiring the best pilots rather than based on race and gender?
