Watch the Ken Burns series on Benjamin Franklin, if you haven’t yet. It’s awesome. You can get it on the PBS channel on Amazon prime.

I stumbled upon this a couple years ago. People found a section of one of Edison’s first underground conductors when excavating lower manhattan after 9/11.

Is Jeff paying you to plug Amazon? Get PBS passport and your $5 monthly donation goes directly to public programming.

He stepped down before they JFKed him would be my guess. Will be interesting if/when the truth about his resignation and the circumstances behind it comes out.

Any Epstein sex toys found? :thinking: Probably?

Rumor is that he had the Epstein files and was in the process of trying to scrub his name from them.

Absolutely. Lots of good programming on public TV and radio. Hopefully public and private donors step up and keep it going. I’m fine with the government not funding it though. Everyone has access to multiple media outlets now. No need for taxpayer subsidies.

True, but instead we’ll fund the theft of a space ship and a new ball room at the White House. LOL.

And a bunch of tacky gold spray painted crap in the Oval Office.

Typical left wing TDS BS. Trump is paying for the White House ballroom addition out of his own pocket. Won’t cost you skinflint progressives a dime!
