A ranking of some things.
1. Israeli/Gaza War – Long after Israeli army gained military and tactical advantage, Israel still killing, starving, non-military personnel in war that has been a genocide almost from the get-go…Israel announces some pauses in attacks, to allow humanitarian to get through, but why did the world ever allow it to get this point in the first place???
2. Donald Trump/Epstein Files – It took 50 years, but America finally has its second Watergate, with President Trump named in files of known sex trafficker…Issue so serious, even some MAGA supporters – who have otherwise strongly supported this man of zero moral or intellectual substance – demanding to know if president is child molester.
3. USA! USA! – The 3-hole staple…America still a partisan, fractured, and bickering mess, with extreme elements in charge of both parties, resulting in electorate that is only open to having their beliefs reinforced and told what they want to hear…The only country to put men on the moon is dying now, preferring appeasement to accomplishment.
4. American Media – If they had done their job in 2015 Trump – even then a blatherskite of no moral or intellectual substance – would’ve been dismissed from the race before the primaries and we never would’ve been subjected to this idiocy…Instead, Trump meant ratings and clicks, so he was ushered straight through to the White House.

Editor’s Note: due to time constraints, these items have run before.
In 1996 – A pipe bomb explodes at Centennial Olympic Park at the Atlanta Summer Games, killing two and injuring 111 others. There had been a 911 call 18 minutes before, and the bomb was discovered by a security officer beneath a bench, with the bomb exploding during the evacuation. Eric Rudolph would not be arrested until five years later, after being linked to other bombings. Rudolph pleaded guilty, received consecutive life terms, and remains incarcerated at the federal Supermax prison in Colorado.
In 1937 – The United States defeats Great Britain in the Davis Cup final 4 matches to 1 at Centre Court at the All England Club at Wimbledon. The US team consisted of Don Budge, Bryan Grant, and Gene Mako, and it was eleventh of 32 Davis Cup titles for the Americans. Earlier, the US had defeated Nazi Germany in the Inter-Zonal Final, while Britain, as defending champion, was automatically entered in the final round. This would be Great Britain’s last appearance in a Davis Cup final until 1978.
In 1940 – Tommy Dorsey and His Orchestra with Frank Sinatra and the Pied Pipers is at #1 on Billboard’s National Best Selling Retail Records chart with I’ll Never Smile Again, the first #1 song on the first Billboard chart. The song spent twelve weeks at the top, a record that would be tied twice and not broken until 1950. Billboard introduced its soul chart in 1942, the country chart in 1944, and the Hot 100 in 1958. Billboard magazine was first published in Cincinnati in 1894, dedicated to billboard advertising.
