An excerpt from OZY -
THE FIRST BLACK FIGHTER PILOT
By Jack Doyle
You never know who you’re sharing an elevator with — and back when Rockefeller Center still had elevator operators, it was easy to ignore the elderly Black man in the corner. Neither Eugene Bullard nor his neat uniform commanded the same attention as the 1950s Manhattan elites who shared his little space every evening.
But little did they know that they were sharing a lift with an American who had been smack in the middle of the most dramatic twists and turns of the 20th century. Bullard was a boxer, World War I fighter pilot, Paris nightclub owner and World War II resistance fighter. He escaped the Gestapo and was beaten by police at a civil-rights demonstration. But even for many years after his death, his legacy remained that of an unnoticed, forgotten elevator operator.

Desperate Women
Why ladies?
Why would you hook up with a nasty, trifling, lying, cheating man?
Why would you demean and debase yourself to sleep with a guy who smells like six-month-old funk?
Why would you lower your standards to a point where you have to crawl up to reach the bottom?
Are you that desperate to say you have a man?
Take it from me - an old woman who has been around the block a few times - you deserve so much better.
Be good to yourself.
Dump the trash.
Better yet . . .
Be good to your environment and live trash-free.

A Selection of Verbatim Quotes From Trump’s First Solo Press Conference as President
By Osita Nwanevu
On his Electoral College margin of victory:
NBC’s Peter Alexander: Mr. President, very simply you said today that you had the biggest electoral margin since Ron Reagan. In fact, president Obama had 365,
President Trump: I was talking about Republicans—
Alexander: George Bush, 426 when he won. So why should Americans trust—
President Trump: I was given that information. I was just given it. We had a very, very big margin.
Alexander: I guess my question is why should the American people trust you when you accuse the information they receive as being fake when you’re providing information that’s not accurate?
President Trump: I was given that information. Actually, I’ve seen that information around. But it was a very substantial victory. Do you agree with that?
Alexander: You’re the president.
President Trump: Yes.
