Some American History -
On September 19, 1796, George Washington's Farewell Address was first published in Claypoole's American Daily Advertiser in Philadelphia, announcing he would not seek a third term.
Key Details of the Address
Format: It was issued as a public letter rather than spoken aloud, intended to reach citizens nationwide.
Authorship: Drafted with assistance from Alexander Hamilton and incorporating earlier input from James Madison, based on Washington's core ideas.
Core Warnings:
Advised against the dangers of political parties and partisan bitterness.
Warned against permanent, entangling foreign alliances.
Stressed the importance of national unity and subduing geographical sectionalism.
Precedent Set: Established the voluntary two-term limit tradition for U.S. Presidents, ensuring the peaceful rotation of power.
Send help......and a storage unit. He kept the m'fer a secret. Maybe I should come home with a pair of $1000 shoes.
Congratulation to @SGKusmertz, @bek1, and @wilbner. Your questions were chosen for tonight’s Ask Joe and the Panelists.
@SGKusmertz If you could have one song play when you enter a room, what would it be?
@bek1 Do you usually feel excited or stressed out about going back to school after summer break?
@wilbner What was the best prank you’ve ever pulled?
Was just catching a bit of OUTNUMBERED.
Emily Compagno is gone (now a regular on The 5) - I'm sure most if not all are aware.
But what was interesting about Outnumbered today was that I think I witnessed a first for the show: FIVE FOX ANCHORS in their own right as panelists. Now they could have had last minute cancellations and had who was already in the building fill in at the last minute.
But then I channeled @ImVinzClortho and thought, "Maybe the ratings have tanked so much since Em's departure that they had to bring out the big guns to keep the ad revenue at a premium..."
If I'm Em's agent, I'm checking ratings for both The 5 and Outnumbered.
She who cannot be ignored. Sing along if motivated. "Unignorable".
