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.
