I’m working with @phxartsculture and @PhxLibrary on a youth art contest to design a mural that will be painted on the exterior of Cholla Library. Please share with young artists! Details are at surveymonkey.com/r/chollamur…

Brahm - It’s not all about golf courses, although they are an important part of our economy and use less than 2% of our total water.
Moreover, there are several lines where the AG demonstrates a lack of understanding about the economy and the constitutional scope of her own office.
Even the Politico interviewer even seems to weigh in with skepticism about her role in some of these things, and her only response was pointing to how popular these issues are in polls.
I have known Kris Mayes a long time, so it is disappointing to see her take this kind of approach to her position, and to repeat misinformation about Arizona’s water situation that will only hurt everyday Arizonans if we drive good jobs away.

Social media isn’t just where audiences discover content anymore.
YouTube’s new Amazon partnership is another sign that the gap between content and discovery is shrinking. For communicators, that means thinking beyond the post.

Most who follow me or have read my book, with a chapter on Hasan and the evil he represents, know my feelings about this embodiment of evil and the justice that will come from his execution which is 16+ years overdue. But glad to hear today that the intended livestream of his execution has been scrubbed. As I’ve said this past week:
1. This UCMJ justice, execution, is certainly American. A spectacle, however, is not who we are.
2. The video had it been produced would be exactly the type that jihadists across the planet would spread on their dark web as they celebrate death. For them death is not a deterrent it is aspirational.
3. Contrary to the hysterical nonsense of a burial at sea for Bin Laden which the Obama administration enacted, just provide us proof of death after execution simply to quell conspiracy theorists. Give no heed to his burial rites or his burial location as he will be martyred by militant Islamists.
4. Close the book on Hasan and keep on the trail against ALL Jihadists domestic and abroad!

“I don’t have this story without faith,” says Bravo, the U.S. Air Force officer who was rescued from Iran.
“I am not saying faith is [a] replacement for training,” he says. “Training helps us understand what we do. But faith is the backstop of all of my actions.” cbsn.ws/4xjxqfB
The first story about the rescue of American heroes is must watch.

George W. Bush’s 9/11 paintings at his presidential library are absolutely worth seeing
My father saw the second plane hit from his office in downtown Manhattan. I was able to get through to his office phone right after.
“My God, all those innocent people.”
Twenty-five years later and it still hurts. The voices of these men who bravely went in and never came out make me weep with all we lost that day.
Never forget. Love this country with everything you have because it. Is. Everything. Those men and women we lost were the best of America.

The Falling Man. 9/11. He chose the window over the flames.
That photo should never leave us — not out of hate, but out of resolve.
Never forget what evil did that day.
Never forget the 2,977.
Never forget who declared war on us, and never let America grow complacent about it.

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family.

Wow! What a great trip down “memory lane” w/ former @Suns HC Mike D‘Antoni @coachdantonihof who’s now a Hall of Famer. The @Hoophall induction ceremony is this weekend. I asked what went through his mind when he first got the call to let him know he’s in the #HOF I love how he gives credit to @SteveNash @Amareisreal @Bell19Raja #ShawnMarion & #JerryColangelo
