Great show when it first started. One of the best characters was Roosevelt Franklin. A black puppet who would take over the class when the teacher left the room. He would sing the lesson for his fellow students. But all of a sudden he was gone. And the was the start if political correctness on sesame st. Too bad. There was nothing wrong with the Roosevelt segment. The puppet was dang intelligent. Should have not changed the show. Went downhill from there! Sad

Sesame Street is what taught parents to be lazy and let the TV babysit (read: indoctrinate) the kids, while parents, free from the burden of supervising them, pursued jobs out of necessity and adult interests out of their own selfishness. Kids were soon switching channels to more seductive programming as parents noticed and cared less or not at all. Look at "disadvantaged" youth today--purportedly the beneficiaries of the great Sesame Street legacy--who "graduate" without basic reading/math skills, short attention spans, and nonexistent respect for others. SS was no match for the real damage done by the welfare system.

I have a theory that Sesame Street was behind the sudden appearance of ADHD and ADD in the 80’s. The show presented “education” in very short and entertaining skits which kids got accustomed to. Then, when they went off to school, they were expected to sit still in a desk for 45 minutes to an hour at a time and absorb information that was no longer entertaining. So they got bored, then restless, then started acting up and became problem children. The medical community’s solution was, of course, drugs.

I liked Sesame Street when it first began - it's insufferable now. But for good, entertaining and learning give me Captain Kangaroo any time. I owe my love of reading to him.

My favorite memory is Oscar the Grouch calling Elmo a little red menace. This was way back in the late 80’s.

My younger brother and I were Captain Kangaroo kids as toddlers, and that gave my mother a blessed half-hour to get ready for her day (mostly). That was our televiewing for the day. By the time Sesame Street came along, we were a shade old, but as a school librarian, Mom always was a little suspicious of it as she didn’t think the SS-trained kids coming into her school had benefited much from its “educating”, except for some kids (and there were a lot of them) who got absolutely nothing else, meaning no books, no reading with parents, at home. Sad.

President Biden and at least four of his top lawyers and advisers tried to keep their fellow Americans from learning of the mishandling of classified documents from Biden’s time as vice president, according to a bombshell report Friday. The New York Times reported that initial discussions on the Nov. 2 discovery — six days before the midterm elections — of sensitive papers in Biden’s former office closet at the Penn Biden Center in Washington were limited to Biden himself, as well as Bob Bauer, the president’s top personal lawyer;

Kansas City, Missouri, Mayor Quinton Lucas (D), a member of Bloomberg-founded Mayors Against Illegal Guns, said, “Mayors are on the frontlines of our nation’s gun violence epidemic and that’s why we won’t shy away from naming those who make the guns that are killing our communities.”

As soon as news broke regarding a second — now third (or is it fourth?) — trove of classified documents found at President Biden’s Delaware home (in addition to the initial find at the Penn Biden Center), people (at least those with a modicum of intellectual curiosity) began questioning who might have had access to the home and, by extension, the documents. Media requests for the visitor log were met with a shrug — no such logs are kept for the President’s private residence.

Alec Baldwin will be criminally charged in connection with the “Rust” shooting that left cinematographer Halyna Hutchins dead, prosecutors said Thursday. New Mexico prosecutors will charge Baldwin and armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed with two federal counts of involuntary manslaughter over the death of Hutchins on the “Rust” film set in October 2021, when a real bullet was loaded into a prop gun. Assistant director David Halls, who handed Baldwin the loaded gun, accepted a misdemeanor charge in a plea deal.

Texas has seen a drastic drop in abortions since the Supreme Court issued its Dobbs decision in June 2022, which overruled Roe v. Wade and returned the issue of abortion to the states. Data from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission shows that only three abortions occurred in the state in August of 2022, each of which was deemed “medically necessary,” Fox News reported on Sunday. “Compared with the 2,596 abortions recorded in the state in June 2022, the number in August represents a decrease of nearly 99 percent. Sixty-eight abortions were performed in July,” according to the report.

As it turns out, in the year 2023, there aren’t that many station wagons on the road, period. “The standard data provider for new vehicle sales doesn’t even break down wagons anymore,” says Kevin Roberts, director of industry insights and analytics at CarGurus. “Most of the time, they’ll probably end up classified as a crossover or a hatchback.” Some data aggregators have “station wagon” as a trim or body variant, but you’ll be hard-pressed

Upon disembarking in New York what stood out was not the awe-inspiring and intimidating skyscrapers seemingly reaching to the heavens, or for the first time in my life seeing a city not lying in ruins from the ravages of war, but that there was a palpable atmosphere of confidence, optimism,

One of the strangest parts of the COVID-19 pandemic has been all of the public health “experts” who openly lied to the American people while expecting to be lauded as heroes in response. Certainly, most have witnessed Dr. Anthony Fauci’s grotesque level of arrogance over the years, with numerous examples of the good doctor admitting to lying in order to get the outcome he desired from the public. For his efforts, he’s got magazine covers and million-dollar awards. But we shouldn’t forget about Dr. Deborah Birx, the other half of Donald Trump’s initial COVID-19 advisory team.

It sounds like a bad joke about woke gone amok, but it’s not. Norway’s University of Bergen is sponsoring research into the burning question of whether and how white paint contributes to white supremacy and why Norway should feel guilty about it because of its role in it. It turns out, you see, that Norwegians were behind the innovation of titanium white paint, which is considered pure white. The university wants researchers to explore “the cultural and aesthetic changes instigated by titanium white … and how can both the material in itself and these changes be conceptualized and made visible?”

An elevated rate of Bell’s palsy was identified among elderly people after vaccination with a Pfizer booster shot, U.S. regulators said in a new study. The “small but statistically significant elevation” in Bell’s palsy was detected after vaccination with Pfizer’s old booster, which is no longer available in the United States, researchers with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said in a preprint study. The elevated rate resulted in an adjusted incidence rate ratio of 1.13 and remained consistent when researchers adjusted for different factors, such as prior COVID-19 infection. A rate above one shows a possible connection between the vaccine and an adverse event.
