According to the question by New York magazine, what do new NYC mayors reportedly accomplish with their incoming political capital?

Since the 80s "Africa" has become a worldwide sensation. It's one of a string of hits that Toto has had over the last 40-plus years.

Do you remember when the leader of the Republican Party called the continent of Africa "shithole" counties during a meeting and asked why the USA can't have more immigrants from Norway, which by the way has now joined NATO? https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2019/01/shithole-countries…

Did Trump have an un-democratic US dream to enter the Capitol with an armed mob and interrupt the peaceful transfer of power?

A summer of joy is what We The People really need. Many of us feel discouraged and overwhelmed by the bitter divisions around us.

After guns, then abortion, school prayer, and a near-death of the administrative state, it’s time to give yourself a treat and consider a relationship with the Universe as it is always in motion bringing great forces together.
