No Country for Old Voters

Biden doctor pleads the Fifth in speedy House closed-door interview

Former White House physician Kevin O'Connor's closed-door interview with the House

Oversight Committee ended after less than an hour on Wednesday morning, with the doctor giving investigators virtually no new insights.

O'Connor pleaded the Fifth Amendment to multiple questions about his time with former President Joe Biden during his sit-down. It resulted in a hasty end to what could have been an hours-long deposition.

McDonald's fan-favorite snack wrap returns this week

The return of the McDonald's snack wrap is right around the corner. The fan-favorite, which was discontinued nationwide about nine years ago, will stage its comeback on the fast-food giant's U.S. menus on Thursday.

The snack wrap's reintroduction has been highly-anticipated among many McDonald's customers after the company early last month officially revealed July 10 as the date it would make its reappearance.

When it re-launches on Thursday, McDonald’s said it will make the snack wrap with one of its McCrispy Strips. It will also have shredded lettuce and cheese within the tortilla.

Weve Moved Beyond

Social Conformity – Racial Segregation – Taboos around mental Health-deference to authority

We still have

Work Ethic – Patriotism – Desire for Community – Family Importance

Weve Evolved

Sexual Norms – Civil Rights and Inclusion – Economic Expectations

Why It Feels Like We’ve Moved So Far

Technology: Social media and the internet

Polarization: Political divides

Generational Turnover

Bottom line:

We’ve left behind many specific social norms of the 1950s, ’60s, and ’70s—but

the underlying values of freedom, opportunity, and community still echo through

American culture. The question often isn’t whether we’ve abandoned those

values, but rather how we define and apply them in a vastly changed world.
