September 11, 2025 Deborah Collier

The anniversary of September 11, 2001, is always difficult for the millions of Americans who lived in New York and Washington, D.C. and saw the terrorist attacks firsthand, and everyone else who watched the attacks and heard about the crash of the fourth plane in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.  Thousands of first responders were involved in the […]

FCC is Going to be Busy with Delete, Delete, Delete

April 30, 2025 Deborah Collier
